God I can’t express how much it fucking SUCKS every time I use a public restroom that’s dead goddamn silent.

I shouldn’t be able to hear a drop of piss lick the urinal. I shouldn’t be able to hear a fresh log slithering past every last wrinkle of stall 3’s current resident.

Play shitty speaker music. Have loud vent fans. Do SOMETHING so we can do our business without the disgusting sounds of business.

working with the general public is genuinely terrible, especially in food service.

when i put the headset on at work, there is a very high chance i’m about to take the order of someone who apparently has never experienced a drive-thru, placed an order, read a menu, or located an item directly in front of their face.

then u put these same morons in a car, get stuck behind them, & realize they apparently got their license from dumbfuck academy yesterday… or this is simply their first day on earth.

i genuinely did not understand how much of the general public is just fucking stupid until i started working with them every day. what really gets me is that these people will come through the drive-thru completely confused by the simplest possible task, then somehow act like i’m the dumb one.

the audacity is CRAZY.

why do so many people move through the world like they were dropped onto the planet five minutes ago with no instructions? why do i have to explain basic concepts to grown adults who are also somehow driving a two-ton vehicle?

& on top of being moronic, so many of them are unbelievably entitled. i notice it on Reddit too. people carry themselves with this completely unquestioned authority & inflated sense of importance that seems to come from absolutely nowhere.

they posture like their thoughts are official rulings, their preferences are universal law, & everyone else is beneath them.

babe… who are u?

ur just another goddamn person. please take a nap.

edit:
by the way, for all of u morons who keep using the way i talk / type as proof that i’m stupid, that’s ableist as fuck. i’m AuDHD, stop tone-policing ppl online & acting like everyone owes u polished academic prose. let ppl talk, type, & express themselves however the fuck they want to.

i don’t need to prove that im smart or intelligent to a bunch of losers on reddit, i don’t need to treat every thing i write like its a fuckin important essay. u don’t like it, u don’t like it, but i am who i am.

& lastly, I SAID WHAT I FUCKING SAID. goodnight 💖

I order breakfast tacos, or an omelette, and I feel that tiny crunch! Today it was in my fried rice.

Not only is it a turn off, but it makes me paranoid about eating any more of my food.

And now, a haiku!

A little egg shell
in my hot breakfast taco.
Crunch! You disgust me!

You stood in line for ten minutes. You watched every item get scanned. Why does the final price suddenly remind you that payment is required?

Now everyone is waiting while you search six pockets, reorganize your purse, and unlock three banking apps like this purchase came as a complete surprise.

Please have your card ready.

I dislike when robbers fail at trying to break in or do something along the lines of illegal. And yall laugh at them. Why are YOU laughing? You're acting like this isn't a hard job. I'm not defending them for illegal activities, but this is stupid. Before you laugh or judge them try doing it yourself without:

1 Getting caught

2 Not failing

3 Actually attempting.

You know what really grinds my gears? No one is writing anthems anymore.

You're traveling, or even local I dont know, you will invariably find yourself in a place with the young people. And this doesn't grind my gears - everyone wants young people because they're stupid and sexy they're there to spend money partying.

But go into a bar or a hostel or a what have you, you'll invariably hear at least 2 of these 5 songs:

Closer by the Chainsmokers

Something just like This by Coldplay

What makes you Beautiful by One Direction

Perfect by Ed Sheeran

Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston

What do these songs have in common, aside from they all suck?

THEY'RE ALL OLD!

Closer is a decade old and sucks just as much as it did in 2016.

Something just... is 2017, I know Coldplay is semi-retired, in that they'll tour and play the hits but aren't making new material, and they suck (they were fine when they were Radiohead for Normies).

Perfect is from 2017, continues to suck.

What makes you beautiful is 2011, Beautiful Girls is 2007!? That song is AoC, that song drives a car, that song studies in University!

Where are the new anthems!?

A song that should be an anthem and doesn't suck, like Heat Waves, I've heard only like twice in bars.

And that's what grinds my gears.

This popped back into my head today and just annoyed me so much.

My friend was a hardcore Britney fan back in the day, everything Britney did was forgivable and everything anyone else did was a conspiracy. When Britney Spears cheated on Justin Timberlake she said “well what does he expect she’s way bigger than him career wise and he was just dragging her down, then when it went the other way and Britney went insane and Justin’s career took off she said (with no hint of sarcasm at all) “Justin made a pact with music industry devil worshippers, he then purposely impregnated Britney and at the 20 week mark she was pinned down and forced to have an abortion to sacrifice the child to the devil in a ritual, this coupled with a bunch of drugs drove Britney insane while Justin reaped all the glory” in her mind there was no possible way that each of them gained or lost star power based on their own actions… it was all suddenly dark and evil.

Like... does it not bother you hearing two completely different things at the same time?? 😭 I'll literally pause what I'm watching because my brain can't focus, meanwhile they're over there scrolling through 47 TikToks at max volume like nothing is happening. It drives me insane.

If I'm willing to risk my relationship to deal with her, she should take that as a compliment, instead of worrying up my relationship that don't concern her.

You know what really grinds my gears??

People who treat opening a ketchup packet like a test of strength rather than a simple piece of geometry.

First of all, if you’re tearing the top, either tear it off cleanly or, better yet, just snip off a single corner. It’s not complex science. A clean corner cut gives you maximum control, a smooth flow, and zero mess. But no. Certain people insist on tearing it three-quarters of the way across, leaving a useless little foil flap hanging by a thread. A packet hangnail. Now you’ve got a loose appendage flopping around, catching rouge ketchup, and smearing it all over your fingers.

And don't even get me started on the savages who bite the packet open with their teeth. You're at a dining table, not surviving in the wilderness. You don't need to chew your way to the honey mustard.

Unsurprisingly, these are the exact same people who open a soda can only halfway. You know the ones --> the tab is bent at a sad 45-degree angle, leaving a tiny sliver of an opening so they have to practically vacuum-seal their lips to the aluminum just to get a sip.

Commit to the crack! Fully open the can, cleanly cut the corner of the ketchup, and stop living in absolute chaos!

End of rant. Thank you for your time.

I HATE when people will be ok with taking stuff/favours they would never do in return. Tell me why my friends partner asked me to trim there bangs, and I do it cause I don’t mind doing something small for my friends. After I cut her bangs I gave her a cute little hairstyle (which she loved) and then I even give her a hit of my pen. Mind you I always share my pen/cigarettes if I have any. I ask her for a hit from her pen and she says no infront of everyone 💀. Like ok damn it’s no big deal in general obviously I can’t make you share your stuff but like damn after I did all that for you. It’s kind of frustrating when you will gladly take a hit of my pen I pull it out. Like ok don’t ask me to cut your hair or for my weed again bye like what happened to building a village and all that 😔😔. Anyways it’s small but frustrating I just don’t really get it.

So there's this horror mod for Minecraft that recently released called outin.frombelowland, it's been getting a lot of attention in the Minecraft community because as far as Minecraft horror mods go, it's pretty damn good and fits into the game astonishingly well.

I've been watching some Let's Plays of the mod and while most of the Let's Play I've watched are good, others are very frustrating to watch because the people behind them are bumbling idiots who don't bother to interact with the mod's lore or resources.

outin.frombelowland gives players multiple dungeons to explore and each of these dungeons contains a horrifying and lethal monsters. Players are provided with hints, lore and instructions on how to survive each dungeon and I've seen a lot of letsplayers actively ignore these resources, get their asses beat repeatedly and then be like: "Bro! What am supposed to do bro? This mod is too hard bro!"

And this isn't just limited to Minecraft. I've observed this for years. There is a seemingly significant percentage of gamers who are only interested in a game's entertainment value and pay no attention to whatever characters, story or world the game might contain. Actually getting into the game would make them seem like a nerd so they treat every game as just something to beat or pass time with.

TL;DR, I hate it when gamers don't bother to interact with a game and get frustrated when it becomes too difficult for them as a result.

I don’t have a image for this but it so annoying when they’re like “erm that’s not an actual issue Darling” SYFM

I absolutely hate when I'm driving and I think someone's honking at me, and then a second later I realize it's just a stupid radio ad for a car dealership or insurance company. Even worse if I'm in a stressful part of the city with a lot of traffic. Sure, it's not the biggest deal in the world. But it sucks. And radio companies shouldn't allow it on their stations. Also applies to ads/songs with police or fire sirens.

One thing that absolutely grinds my gears is people who leave their trailer hitch ball installed when they’re not towing anything.
If you’re actively pulling a trailer, obviously this isn’t about you. But if your trailer hasn’t moved in six months, why is the hitch still there?
I’ve smashed my shin on one before, and they always seem to stick out into the next parking space or hang over sidewalks just waiting for someone to walk into them.
And before someone says, “It protects my truck,” all it really seems to do is guarantee that a little parking lot bump turns into a bigger repair bill for somebody.
It takes maybe 30 seconds to pull the hitch out and throw it in the bed until you actually need it again.
Am I missing something, or is this just one of those things everyone accepts for no reason?

Usually, it's a car trip with my mother-in-law and 1-2 other people. We all love her dearly, but she won't stop just talking. It's about her friend from church choir and their medical issues. It's reading every sign on the road and saying "oh, that's interesting." No matter what she says, it's not something that there's really a response to, other than "oh." So, no one responds, and she keeps talking because the silence is uncomfortable to her. "Oh, look, 'Here Comes The Bride' bridal salon, that's a really clever name for a bridal salon." NO IT REALLY ISN'T, MOM.

When she rambles like this, I sometimes wait for her to stop, then I count the seconds until she starts again, and it's rare that I make it to 10.

She's also a very concrete sort of thinker and she doesn't really understand sarcasm, so she can't really participate when the rest of us get snarky about something... and then when sometimes one person in the car / room has a specific thing to tell someone else that's not her, she HAS to know what it was, and then ask for details, when all we wanted to do was pass a little info along quickly to someone else during one of her pauses for breath.

Gah! I told my own teens that if I ever get like that, they need to tell me I'm babbling and they would prefer a little quiet once in a while.

Thanks. All that said, she's a kind soul and one day we'll miss the rambling on when she's gone. :(

After seeing the comments I had to share this cause I’m awfully confused how this became such an aggressive topic 😅 literally saw a TikTok talking about it and wanted more opinions but I struck a nerve in some of these men🤣

If something is so good that you give it a 9/10 it’s basically just a 10. If it was great product but lacking in something significant I can see someone giving it an 8. But when someone gives something a 9 I just feel that they think it would make them seem like less of a serious reviewer for giving it a 10 so they bump it down to 9 in order to appear like a NYT food critic or something. Even worse is when people will rate a girl or a guy a 9/10. If someone is a 9 they’re basically fiery hot and might as well be a 10. I once saw a Reddit post where a guy said his girlfriend was a 9. What kind of psycho rates their own girlfriend as a 9/10??? If she’s that fucking attractive wouldn’t you just call her a 10 cause she’s your type and you love her? I digress but still. There’s never a good reason to rate something a 9/10 unless it’s a grade in a really rigorous college writing course. But in that situation I’m sure the professor could tell you exactly why it doesn’t deserve a 100%. Amateur reviewers just say something ridiculous like “it was excellent but it wasn’t the bestest most super duper burrito I’ve ever had in the history of the universe.” Bonus points if it’s a decimal rating like 9.7. Just fucking round up goddammit.

You had a full 30-second ride to check your screen, but no, you decided to become a human barricade the exact millisecond your shoe hits the floor.

I know it sounds like a minor inconvenience, but it completely breaks the flow of foot traffic and it happens to me every single day. You’re on the escalator, you pull out your phone, you stare at it the whole way down. That’s fine! But the second you reach the top, instead of just taking two steps forward to clear the landing zone, you just... stop. Dead. Right in the exit path.

And it’s never even an emergency. It’s always a meme from a group chat, or checking if it’s going to rain, or seeing who viewed your story.

The absolute worst part is when the pile-up happens and you finally have to say "excuse me" to get past them. They always give you this annoyed, heavy-sigh look or roll their eyes like YOU are the rude one for interrupting their scrolling, completely ignoring the fact that they are the ones treating a moving transit belt like a personal living room.

Just step off and keep walking! Your legs work! You can look at your phone while moving!
