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

Me: finally tells somebody off for being a dick rider and a drama starter in the politics section for weeks, if not months.
Fucking asshole: immediately responds not by insulting me back, but by going to my profile wall and making fun of my mother who died of cancer when I was 12 years old.
I don't care if somebody wants to dunk on my mom because I put that information out there, it's just a reactionary bitch move that somebody would pull because they don't have the wit or the ability to insult you like you did them.
"Yeah? Well your mom's dead!" No shit idiot, I have been aware of that for the past 24 years.
Imagine being a 50 year old man insulting someone because their mom died when they were a kid, all because you got called a fat hillbilly.
I'm glad I have thick skin because there are some pathetic sons of bitches on the internet.

Oh no, you limited/privated your profile.
 
Merriam-Webster adding a shitty new feature, which is probably another haphazard AI-driven initiative.

That's right, Simple Definition. Because people are getting dumber and cannot be bothered to read a couple of sentences, at best, and interpret a word meaning.

Stubbing my pinky toe. I banged it good this morning and unleashed a deafening string of such unholy profanity that I'm pretty sure the whole damn neighborhood heard me.

In the same vein, loading stuff into a cupboard above a dishwasher, forgetting the cupboard door is open when I go to take out more, then spiking the top of my skull on the corner of the cupboard door. Pretty sure the last time I did that I swore loud enough to wake half the house up at 7 AM on a weekend.

There is something about people displaying a lack in mental capacity that triggers something in another people's mind. That something, that sensation, does it have a name?

I think it's a mix of frustration when seeing someone being so incompetent, but also maybe unrewarded pride in the fact that you know you're superior to them, at least on that. It's like the meme in Big Bang theory where Sheldon says that it makes him sad that others are stupid, but here in a less extreme way.

When you hear that people don't know how to write anymore, that they use AI to complete their homework, their lack of understanding in well known phenomena or subjects (like science, maths, geography, etc), but the way to think about it is: the more stupid others are, the more powerful I am.

I've noticed online dictionaries - and thesauruses in particular - are getting worse. Breezier descriptions in the dictionary, fewer examples. Fewer synonyms and antonyms in the thesaurous - as if they're conserving ink and page space on the goddamn Internet.

What's been really jarring is I'll be writing a story in a word processor or typing something into the browser and it'll flag it as mis-spelled; except it's not mis-spelled, it's a real word that just isn't in the program's dictionary. Again, why? It's not like saving a handful of bytes is some worthy tradeoff, so why is this software shipping with truncated dictionaries? Do only lexicon-deficient retards use LibreOffice and Brave? Am I retarded? How can I be retarded if I'm using big words the computer doesn't understand? It's not like my vocabulary has drastically expanded in ten years; it's them, not me.

Increasingly I turn to both AI and etymology websites just to get access to cromulent words for my own fucking language. It's probably time to turn into an old man and buy some 1910 edition dictionaries.
 
There's a specific threshold of patheticness in people that just triggers a disgust response in me. Perhaps it's more accurate to say its the wallowing in their patheticness that disgusts me, but it's such a sharp reaction. When someone tries to cook something and they fuck it up, I can be empathetic: sure we all make stupid mistakes sometimes and look like an idiot, it's part of being human. But something about the ones who will start going on about his bad it is and making no effort to improve instantly turns me against them. Another one I've noticed is the excessively fat crying and wailing how they can't walk or something. I don't know exactly why, but suddenly all care and respect I could have had vapourises instantly.
 
Finding a good stock image that you'd like to use for something of a project or for personal use. Then finding out it's from assholes like Adobe Stock or Shutterstock. I attest that these are some of the most parasitic services around. They charge absurd amounts of money just to even have the image or to have it licensed. Yeah, I have $65 laying around just to use one fucking image.

Just nuke watermark and enlarge it with AI.
 
black text on red background

It can cause eyestrain. And it is not just amateur web designers of the "Web 1.0" days who could use such a design choice. That eye-searing color scheme can be used with hot dog packaging, signs, and even in magazines sometimes. If you simply have to do a red background, why not white text instead? Or even better, red text on a white background?

Related because this user grinds my gears:
You should private it if people are being twats. I made it so that only people that I follow can post on my wall. I'm not going to have internet arguments with a 50 year old fat meth head from Kentucky who immediately jumps to making fun of my mother dying of cancer all over my wall because I jokingly called him an inbred from Appalachia.
(I've decided to not post the username so that this post doesn't get deleted) is the most emotional, hypocritical bitch I have dealt with on kiwi farms so far. The dude comes out putting dumb reaction stickers on all my shit for months, and then he writes a bunch of disrespectful shit about me. So obviously I'm like "Oh, I guess this guy doesn't like me for some reason" and his excuse was oh man I was just playing with you because I thought you could take it.
So I playfully called him a redneck back, which being a bogan from Australia that's literally the equivalent of what I am. He freaked out like a teenage high school girl being called fat online. So I guess he can make a joke but I can't.
Then it came up in conversation that my mother died of cancer. I don't hide that fact because I've already revealed it ages ago when I was talking about it with somebody else. He actually said that I was going to try to use that for sympathy to win an argument and that I was pissed off about the negative reaction stickers.
He is so retarded that to this day he doesn't understand that my point was not that I was bothered by the negative reaction stickers, but when the only interaction you have with another user is them constantly negative sticker bombing you and then running their mouth and being disrespectful, it sets the precedent that they don't like you. In what part of that equation am I supposed to assume the guy is kidding with me because he likes me? Fucking drongo. He would always constantly circle back to the I can't believe you're crying about stickers thing. I'm not fella, I'm making a point. You are the 50 year old man who is wasting your time clicking the equivalent of a reddit downvote button like a catty faggot.
He actually got me to the point where I embrace my Australian side. I used to be ashamed of spelling words the British way and saying particular phrases because I was born in Texas but raised in Australia. That dude went out of his way to campaign against me and tell me that I wasn't an American, like a teenage girl trying to get her clique of friends against me.
"Look everyone, he spells words like color as COLOUR with a U! He's not a REAL American" he yelled, snorting a line of crank off of his cousin's minge. That was a real thing he did.
Everything that this pathetic, 50 year old Kentucky hillbilly has done has been the actions of a vindictive teenage girl who is trying to cyberbully someone unsuccessfully on MySpace.
To this day he still dumb reacts everything I say in uspg2 out of spite, it's silly as fuck to me.
It's bitch shit. It's hoe behaviour. I tried to be nice to the guy and make nice with him and he just kept doubling down because he couldn't take getting jabbed good naturedly like he alleged to do to me, so he's been on some little revenge kick ever since then.
As far as I'm concerned he can suck on my dead mother's black cancerous tits and then get fucked. By his cousin, because he's an inbred hillbilly. :story:

Who is doing this?
 
Zoomies who think they're revolutionaries and Robin Hood because they steal from Walmart.
No, you're fucking over all the working class who work there, who will lose their jobs if it shuts down and they won't be able to find replacement work because new businesses don't start ventures in small towns. You're selfish thieving little pieces of shit who are the reason everything is behind glass and are probably upper middle class stealing not because it's something you need, but for the thrill. (yeah I know most theft that results in glass being installed is niggers)
