Just as good as "You only hate this person because you are jealous of them".
I could flip when someone drops that statement.

Working with high schoolers.
My job is pretty chill, pretty easy and I get great hours (which is surprising considering the field I work in, you don't usually get full time). That being said, it pisses me off to no end that people don't treat it like a job.
People smoking weed on the clock. I don't care if you smoke weed but literally doing it in the building you work in or on your lunch break and then coming back to work high and not capable of doing your job is ridiculous. If you can handle your shit, then fine do whatever you want but if you're getting too high to do basic tasks, don't get high at work.
People calling out or showing up late. This is straight up a management issue. If you let people do whatever the fuck they want they will abuse that. Don't let people come in ten minutes late or else they will do it consistently and fuck up the shift for everyone else. Punish people for not getting to work on time.
Cell phones. Fucking cell phone use at work is such a huge problem with these people. Just because you're not helping someone in that moment doesn't mean you should step off line and go scroll through your goddamn snapchat. I've seen people need service and these dumb kids will say 'just a minute' and make sure they get that super important message off before they help the customer.
Being trained for all positions. Sometimes you need to leave line for a minute to use the bathroom or take your break. Some people will just refuse to cover a specific position because they aren't good at it because they never do it. You're supposed to be trained to do all positions but the half assed training they do means people get too freaked out to do something they aren't familiar with.
I understand people need a job but if you just go to work to fuck around and get high with your coworkers, get a different job. There's a program in place that if you provide excellent service each of your coworkers working that shift can get an additional 200 dollars. I want that money but I can't get it if I don't have help from the other people I work with.
Just go to work and do your job, do your bullshit on your own time.

The entire classification of the "mid-west" in the USA, especially areas like Chicago. The "mid-west" should designate places like Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, not states that are clearly in the eastern half of the country.

My neighbor's dog is an old blind little mutt and I hate that she spends most of the day outside in their shitty backyard. She has an igloo doghouse but she usually just sits by the back door waiting to come back inside because she's probably bored and hot because it can get to the fucking 90s and 100s over the summer and fall here. Sometimes I toss treats over the fence for her to sniff out and find, just so she has something to do out there. They used to have another dog out there with her, but he died a few months ago (which might have been related to how he'd get all sorts of cysts around his face and they'd wait months before taking him to the vet).
One of these days, I'm gonna work up the courage to just kidnap her. It's just so depressing to see her out there.

Earlier this year, my office got a strange take on robocalls: they were all in rapidly-spoken Chinese, and they could call back within minutes of being hung up on.
Turns out there are scams like those "we're the IRS, pay us now or you'll be arrested" calls, but instead of that, these calls are targeted at Chinese immigrants to the US and threaten them with deportation.

The “you’re just jealous” mantra in general just ticks me off. You’re just jealous this, you’re just jealous that, OH SHUT UP! You’re just doing this so you can assert your dominance by saying you’re right. It’s that smug arrogance that just sets me off. It’s really annoying

in all seriousness it was just one specific toilet like this. pretty much most people in the pub it was in also said the toilet was small, even the workers. it was just oddly skinny.

Yeah, my comment was mean and I apologise because I'm such a big softy. ❤

Why wasn't the toilet replaced if even the staff were saying it's too small? The only thing I can think of is they kept it as a gimmick so people would visit to see the small toilet and buy a couple of beers while they were there, and there's a constant crowd of people in the bathroom saying "yeah, that is an oddly narrow toilet", while their kids are extremely confused why their parents are staring at a toilet with such admiration.
Or maybe it was the kids' stall and you went into the wrong one.

honestly have no clue. they were bartenders so maybe the owner just didn't give a shit? or thought it was funny. to be fair, i would find it funny too if i was the owner, but i'm not so it makes me angry instead.

Throw in government departments for getting anything done. Need to change something minor, they got it wrong.
- Me: Hi, I need to deal with this issue, you have this bit of info wrong on your databases.
- Them: Ok, call these two numbers and talk to them, or email this address about your issue.
- Me: Calls both numbers, neither pick up, try again 3 times more...Ok, send email.
- No response for a week
- Me: Hi, I called and sent email
- Them: Yeah, neither of those numbers are in use, call them at these numbers.
- Me: Call the numbers, no answer
- Me: Yeah, they don't answer/not in use...
- Them: Oh yeah, they only answer from 8am to 12. - call again.
- Me: Hi, sent you email to change this very small thing, it's been a week, is it done?
- Them: What's your email address? No we don't have it
- Me: I sent it to governmentdepartmentemail@countryname.gov
- Them: Yeah that email isn't in use, didn't receive it...

Or maybe it was just a baby toilet that hasn't grown up to be a full toilet and you're bullying a poor porcelain (poorcelain for short) throne.
(I'm not proud of that pun, but for some reason it made me giggle)

Those sorts of people will never stop being annoying. For me though, I managed to some how get text messages that are linked to an obvious phishing or virus scam. On the bright side, those text tried to include numbers similar to mine so I did get to see those people make responses like "fuck off", "I'm calling the FBI", and my favorite being a guy trying to channel his inner Catholic exorcist to the spammer. I wouldn't be surprised if after putting up some info on Indeed it got me some scam calls but beyond a couple guys with Indian accents saying they had a job available and turning them down, I didn't get much else from them so they could of just been legit with a business that was out of state but likely shady.
Unfortunately for those trying to regurgitate that idea, not everyone hating that female character is actually an incel or self-hating woman. Then again, gotta defend whatever character is "consoomed" such as Captain Marvel or Abby even though people have other reasons to not like the characters or the works they are from. Getting tired of cape shit isn't indicative of hating women nor is finding a character shit really some big insight one must hate women.

I'm quoting myself here because it bears repeating and I need to bitch about it more:
People who do math work in pen. Still remember some guy in his 60's or so in my differential equations class last summer who used a pen on the tests.

Seeing friends and other people around my age (college age/early twenties) being able to go do things like it's the easiest thing in the world while I could hardly leave my house made me feel like shit. Like simply going to hang out with their friends without being asked a million questions or getting yelled at when coming back home. Whereas my parents were so overbearing I felt like I was perpetually grounded for some reason. Acting like my friends were criminals/drunkards/slackers who will never get anywhere. When they had never even met them. When I first started going over to my bf's house, the way my dad acted you'd think I was going to get murdered. I was in my early 20s, mind you.
My parents never had any family friends so maybe they just don't understand what that's like anymore. Basically, controlling and asocial parents piss me off, and still do.

It's BS how time seems to race by when you're enjoying it, but slows down when you're bored or miserable. Why not the reverse?
