You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

Don’t ride my ass for smoking cigarettes if you constantly have McDonald’s DoorDashed to you several times a week, or can’t go throughout the day without smoking god knows how many bowls of weed. Shut the fuck up, enjoy your vices and let me enjoy mine.
I don't mind your smoking vice, just don't do it indoors or around me as that could seep into clothing. I went inside a cigar bar once; I could not, for the life of me, breathe inside.
 
I swear if one more person zooms by me on an e-bike in a walking area and nearly hits me while I'm out on a walk, I'm going to flatten their tire.
Oh my God, when bikers, skateboarders or scooters ride on the road, they make it harder for automobile to pass. This one guy on a scooter decided to occupy a lane going the opposite direction when he clearly sees my turn signal.

THE ROADS AREN’T MEANT FOR YOU, ASSHOLE!

I see people on e-bikers constantly zooming by on the roads in between cars, doing wheelies and stuff like that. Most don't even have helmets.

"Bruhhhhh weed is good for you bruhhhh it comes from Mother Earth bruhhh" - a retard who can't figure out that tobacco also comes from Mother Earth, bruh. I don't even smoke, I just hate the hypocrisy potheads and vapers have over it.
 
zoomer speak. the "tiktokification" of every form of content released. the "comedy reliance" of people that were never present in the past. bright, colourful everything (see: thumbnails on youtube from sloptubers). people self-censoring themselves instead of just saying the word. people being hardwired into doing what the "popular thing" is. this shit is absurdly common now than what it was compared to 2012~2019 and when i see someone doing this shit, i can't help but wonder how someone whos bloodline has spanned for thousands upon thousands of years, from the beginning of humanity itself, all the way up here, only for them to dress up in their faggot outfits, speak with their gay voices, adopt shitty bird-nest hair, rely on humor of any kind to be in conversations, be the children of rich (and sometimes famous) men and women, yet have the intelligence of a 1930s nigger. also, why do they always have ADHD? its to the point where i don't see people with autism anymore, its people with ADHD now. these are completely irredeemable people, and i can't wait until they all kill themselves due to them doing some dumb tiktok challenge or some other stupid shit like "put a fork in a power outlet for $100" or whatever they do nowadays.

You'll get tons of people who'll say "Thanks! this worked for me!" and not one fucker ever stating what they did.
You'll also get the vaguest of follow-ups to said issue, with numerous people saying "I got this problem too" all in a span of months to even years between.

Agreed. I've always had the stance of "do what you want to, drink or smoke, just don't get me involved" but it seems to me that pot-smokers are the most obnoxious people. Simply because they try getting everyone around them involved and telling them "man bruh, you need to lighten up, here, have a few puffs of this blunt and you'll feel better" like as if they've got a fucking doctrine in psychology and the medic field just by smoking weed.
 
When those who are public disturbances and dangers to society get a slap on the wrist instead of being arrested.
I am sort of reminded of those really dumb brats with no sense of community, putting people's lives at risk or worse, kill someone in car crashes and having zero sense of remorse. And they get off with a lifted finger and a few harsh words.

That's bound to piss me off.

I cannot deal with these absolute nobodies they dredge up for documentaries. Just some guy who once saw Greta Garbo at a Blinds 2 Go in '84 and has somehow parlayed that into being a commentator on the golden age of cinema.

And he’s like, “I met Garbo once. Well, saw her. From behind. In line. I never spoke to her. Never heard her voice. That’s when I walked out.” Man shut the fuck up.
Lol I am reminded of the time Whoopi here went on defense for Song of The South. But this is....why her? Paul McCartney is still alive so wtf?
What? Isn't that a type of diet? Is this like this new trend where morons put "anarcho" in front of everything like "anarcho-socialist", "anarcho-capitalist" because they don't like "anarcho-communist"?
When I went to England, they did what you described. In the London Underground when on escalators, people who are just standing stand on the right hand side and people who are actively walking up the escalators can get by on the left. I've never seen this in my country.
I am reminded of my on frustation given communitng.

Admittingly, I'm the "if you can walk, walk" person. Or at the very least, move to the side for the assholes walking instead of standing in the middle like a twat.

It annoyed me so much that I just use the stairs now.

Speaking of people taking up all the room, this was a common issue back when I attended university. Campus was stupidly large, and so were the hallways, but fucking you got five people walking side by side horizontally and you're behind them and you need to get to class but you can't because Dumb, Dumber, Even Dumber, Actually Dumber and Dumbest can't be assed to get out of the fucking way.
People who not only are unable to read more than a paragraph, but these same people who also brag about how they "don't read." I know plenty of modern literature is shit, but there are some excellent books out there.
I consider reading a basic skill. It upsets me that people are "bragging" about lacking such. Not exactly a thread tax, and I don't know if it's me being an elitist little prick or whatever, but I kinda get bothered when people don't bother maintaining basic skills for the sake of convenience and use it as a flex.

"Durrr, why should I learn to read an analog clock? I got my phone! Why should I maintain how to spell and write, and use proper grammar? I got my phone! Why read? I just watch Netflix. That's so much more fun! Why should I wash up by hand? I got a dishwasher!"

That last part also extends to people who don't properly scrape the plate clean before putting it in said dishwasher. And people who don't know how to use a dishwasher or put shit in properly. No, you don't put the plates on top of the rakes; you put them in the rakes. No, you have to use the silverware basket, you retard, don't just throw your silverware everywhere randomly.

I've got university horror stories of mold growing in the communal dishwasher because people can't even be assed to do basic maintenance. I grew accustomed to washing up by hand because of that.

I had an ex-brother-in-law flat-out say to me once, "I don't need to learn how to cook for myself. My wife will do it for me."

I remember asking him what he'd do if said wife was ill or bedbound or otherwise unable to cook for him, and he was like, "Meh, I'll just serve everyone sliced bread."

?????????

Maybe I'm just being weird, but I kinda hate people's lack of self-awareness for any sort of independence or basic skills, and then brag about their laziness or see it as a virtue.

In all fairness, people can do whatever. It's not really my problem if you can't cook a bowl of spaghetti without burning your entire kitchen. Just stay away from me. But if you want to do shit with me, do not expect me to baby you because you're too lazy and stupid to boil an egg or whatever.
 
The weather report’s complete inability to tell me whether or not it’s going to fucking rain.
It's running joke here that the weather forecasts versus what ultimately happens are often two greatly different outcomes. A winter forecast for nine inches of snow resulted in barely one inch. Or - more recently - a forecast of extended rain with occasional heavy downpours saw little more than a constant misting and drizzle with only one 2-minute hard downpour when I was driving home.

Even when planning for the day's weather, I largely consider the forecasts more as a form of entertainment than authoritative information because of the above.

You forgot some other oldies and goodies I've seen over the years:
> (In the case of software) That software is a POS. Use this other POS software instead.
> Uninstall and reinstall.
> Reboot.
> Reinstall Windows.
> Mac/Linux users don't have these issues.

I share the same laissez-faire attitude, but it does seem like pot smokers are more pushy ever since areas legalized it recreationally - akin to the peer pressure associated with having a social drink when someone declines for whatever reason. In the past, reasonable people respected a friend's choice if they declined a joint, and some even went as far to smoke their pot discreetly away from kids and people who didn't use it. Now, refusing a joint almost invariably results in a, "C'mon, what's wrong with you?" response.

Thread tax: Drivers who feel construction zones are an open invitation to ignore all of the rules of the road when it comes to merging, obeying traffic lights, etc.

Went to Starbucks this morning and saw they’re charging $3.75 for a cake pop.

It's one bite! It’s literally the size of a testicle. For four bucks I should get two bites/a handjob from the barista.
Reminds me of my university, which also had an adjacent Starbucks.

Fucking 5.50 bucks (35 in the currency here and both prices are egregious) for a coffee - when I could go to the cafeteria and buy a coffee in the same size for less than 2 (or a tenner in currency here).

Starbucks sucks ass, and their matcha frappe looks like blended lawn clippings.
 
Sober people with a superiority complex about it are annoying as hell especially when they admit it's because they hate the taste of alcohol or cigarettes... Okay, so you're giving up a vice you've never struggled with, congratulations I guess.
