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

People who can't function without their mobile phone.
Just 20 years ago, that wasn't normal. Even people who liked having long phone conversations still spent most of their time not on the phone, and even they didn't have a phone on them 24-7.

If "Current Year" continues, imagine how cybernetic and tech-addicted people will be in another 20 years...
 
People who do not shut the fuck up after hours of talking about nothing and then have the audacity to bitch at you when you try to end the conversation because you have somewhere else to be. I swear these people have a mental disorder or some shit because I cannot fathom how someone could have the energy to just keep talking as long as they do.
 
I'm pissed off that every crafting/costuming channel seems to have been taken over by woke wine moms who are ashamed of the mean, nasty things their ancestors did - but not ashamed enough to give everything they own to the immigrant poor. Here's a video from a historical clothing channel I used to enjoy, showing a woman who has commissioned a replica of an historic embroidered dress from India, only to suddenly realize that the original dress its based on was made - gasp - by historical Indians who were probably not compensated very well for their work. (As opposed to the white poor living in England at the time who were all well fed, living in mansions and sleeping on eiderdown quilts.)


You can smell the farty smugness emanating from the comment section. "Alas! How could I, an insignificant middle class white woman, understand the oppression of marginalized people of colour!?" How about understanding a nuanced view of history, you wastes of skin? (Also, most of the clothing you're currently wearing was made by third world slaves, but I don't see any of you bothering about that.)

There were a few YT commenters from India as well:

As an Indian (17, born Indian, lived in India all my life) who strongly disliked and tried to disconnect myself from my culture,

(why? Did white people routinely show up at your door in India and tell you to your face that you sucked? Why would you reject your own culture unless there were elements of your own culture telling you to be ashamed of it?)


I have to tell you the importance of your work and your passion for the peacock dress to me. I was so disillusioned by my own country as a young teenager, thanks to supremacy of US Hegemony.

(You still are a young teenager. And I thought it was the British you guys were all bitching about.)

I loved books, but never read any Indian books. Loved History, as long as it wasn’t Indian. I love paintings, just not...Indian. I barely batted an eye at the beauty of my own country.

(Why is that? Who is telling you to hate yourself and reject your own culture? Are you being forced to consoom American pop culture against your will? Anyway, do you know what would happen if I, an American, tried to consoom Indian culture and dress in Indian clothing? I'd be accused of being a cultural appropriator and would be told I was racist for wearing that shit. Also, you can thank your lucky stars that you weren't married to an old man when you were 14 and thrown into his funeral pyre when he died. Wanna know whom you have to thank for that? The British. )

(from wikipedo : )
Opposition to the practice of sati by Christian evangelists, such as Carey, and Hindu reformers such as Ram Mohan Roy, ultimately led the Governor-General of India Lord William Bentinck to enact the Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, declaring the practice of burning or burying alive of Hindu widows to be punishable by the criminal courts.[8][9][10] These were followed up with other legislation, countering what the British perceived to be interrelated issues involving violence against Hindu women, including: Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act, 1856, Female Infanticide Prevention Act, 1870, and Age of Consent Act, 1891.

Isolated incidents of sati were recorded in India in the late 20th century, leading the Indian government to promulgate the Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987, criminalising the aiding or
glorifying of sati.

To sum up: what greater sign of unearned privilege could there be than rich white SAHMs who shit all over their country's history because they live in a resource/technology bubble that provides for their every need which was spearheaded by those very same historical figures they're currently pissing all over? Just once, I want to see these Karens thrown onto a deserted island and forced to compete for resources just like their ancestors did. I bet that would cure them of their smug fart addiction...

Probably a really autistic complaint, but when my "classic youtube" extension doesn't work anymore for some reason. Now I have to look at this garbage layout with zero categorisation, designed by a bunch of social media phone users. Gone are the lines saying "videos made by x", "videos related to y topic", now it's just one mass of fuck you.

Get a useragent switcher extension and set it to Google bot
 
Allergies in 'rona times must be hell. Do people treat you like you punched an infant if you sneeze / cough in public?
A woman in the shop caught me with a runny nose and said 'Are you sure you should be o-" And then I blew a shotgun wad all over the place (sneeze came literally out of nowhere, I'm not normally that vile); and the poor bitch looked like I had just curb stomped her baby. I haven't been back to that corner shop since then 😔

It's mind-boggling. If you're not an infant, fossil or AIDS victim, you've got a 99% chance of survival.

Another thing that pisses me off are 2 meter spaced out breadlines to get into stores. It's like living under an autistic communist dictatorship.

I despise the ques, cunts keep trying to chat with me while I wait. Some guy turned around and said 'Oh well, at least it's not raining right?'. I genuinely wanted to strangle him. Queing is already infuritating, I don't want to talk with you while I do it. It's why my headphones are in!
 
Everything seems so damn overpriced nowadays. Seems nothing is less than €1 / $1 / £1 / ¥100 / etc - why even have cents now?

And overpriced food is in such bullshit portions. Like a little bag of chips is now only 1/3 or even just 1/4 full - back in the day it was half full at worst - yet it's like $2-$3? Bullshit.

Did I mention I hate modern city living?
 
My brain coming up with the creepiest renditions of Sheen from Jimmy Neutron possible when I'm trying to go to sleep. Oftentimes accompanied by the Sonic CD game over music. Don't know why it settled on that character of all things, but it's been doing it occasionally for the past ten or so years.
 
When you're trying to paste some text you copied on here but forget you did a fullscreen screencap and the entire screencap is immediately uploaded without warning, oftentimes with compromising information. I try deleting them but the images still exist on the server afterward, as can be seen by putting the hash in the URL.
 
People who share their political views with retail workers. It doesn't even matter if I personally agree with them or not, it's a shitty thing to do since the person you're ranting at basically can't do anything other than smile and nod or risk getting into trouble. I don't care if you think wuflu is gonna kill us all because orangemanbad fumbled the response. I don't care if you think wuflu is a hoax to take down orangemangood. And I sure as shit don't want your opinions on racial issues.
