Sometimes its my phone, sometimes my laptop. Don't tell me this isn't intentional and there is some script running to understand where my mouse or finger is just about to click on.

A page or screen appears to have loaded, and you want to click on something (e.g. the "Jump to Recipe" button on a recipe site), so you mouse over to it and click. But unbeknownst to you, there is some stylesheet or something that just hasn't quite finished and the nanosecond before you actually click, it finishes and BAM, that link or button or whatever is just a few pixels down and you click on something wholly unrelated (e.g. an ad), then you're in popup hell, or in a place where the back button has unintended functionality, or just doesn't work as it should and you can't go back so you just have to re-find whatever it was, or you just say "screw it, I'm ordering pizza. "

No Sandra, I don’t want kids and I’ve never wanted kids.

Don’t tell me ‘you’ll regret it when you’re older” because I assure you, no I will not.

You know the type. If I’m eating hotdogs, “you realize how hotdogs are made, right?” If I’m eating McNuggets, “that ain’t real meat”. If I’m eating shrimp, “you’re eating sea roaches, you know that right?”

Buddy, I honestly couldn’t give any less of a shit. From the bottom of my heart, I do not give a single iota of a fuck. Does it taste good? Do I enjoy eating it? Yes on both counts, that’s all I care about. Bro, if I abducted you and held you captive and hours went by without anything to eat, if I gave you some McNuggets, I guarantee you’re gonna gobble that shit up. So spare me with your moral food superiority bullshit or whatever your angle is.

They don’t actually care about people’s health, they just like to feel like they’re better than everyone for eating “healthier”. If they truly wanted people to make better food choices, their approach could use some adjusting.

It's so annoying to get a phone call and I always start with "Hello, who is this?"

The person ignores me and starts to be like "Is this X." And I have to repeat "Who is this?"

I'm specifically asking who this is incase it's one of those calls that record your voice if you say "yes."

I'm also asking in case you're someone I don't want to talk with and then I can hang up on you.

Now before people ask why I answer unknown calls it's because of doctor appointments, job interviews, ect... and sometimes people use other numbers than the main one.

I don't understand why they can't just state who they are first. It would make it 10x easier for everyone. Because I'm not answering until you tell me who you are.

I work at a coffee shop and no one knows how to pronounce espresso. There's no x. It's EH-spress-oh not EX-press-oh

Example: I'm a criminal justice student, and A LOT of my peers want to be detectives. I can't tell you how many times I've heard some variation of "I wouldn't have chosen to major in criminal justice if I had known that you have* to be a police officer first before you can be a detective!!!!"

Like.. why do people not look into these things first????

Okay, so like I said in the title, this is where I live, I know in lots of places in the world and other communities and cultures that when someone says
6pm, you're supposed to be there at 6pm

But where I live if someone says 6pm they actually mean 6:45 or 7 or 8 or even 9!

They don't actually want you to come at 6, they want you come anytime between 45 minutes and 2 hours late

It drives me insane, I'm a very punctual person and I consider being late (without a valid reason like car troubles or something else genuinely out of your control) to be the height of rudeness

To me, the most respectful thing you could do when someone is being hospitable and hosting an event is to be on time to show you value their time and respect when they want you to be there since they're the one doing the work planning and hosting it

The fact that they want you to be late is the stupidest thing in the world, don't say something you don't mean just communicate upfront

It’s so unnecessary. My ex fiancé’s mom, my almost MIL, would very seriously tell me how she was planning to wear a white dress to her “baby boo’s” wedding because it was her “special day”.

She also wasn’t paying for a single penny of the wedding yet wanted to invite all of her friends we had never met. Oh and she assumed she was invited to the honeymoon because she never went on one, despite being married multiple times.

I am grateful every day I did not end up marrying into that family!

As a matter of fact, I feel more offended by the fact that you think I care that much. Your joke simply wasn't that funny, or do you want me to pretend it was?

This is the oldest icebreaker in the book and has run its course. Be more creative. I already clapped when you got on stage, I refuse to clap or yell louder to make you less nervous about your presentation.

If you want to have a conversation with me and I've tried to ask some questions about you, please ask me back. I am NOT your personal jester. I also need to be heard even though I'm okay for listening most of the time. If you only want to use me as your audience, please create a podcast channel and watch it yourself. Or don't be a coward and tell me that you actually don't want to build a genuine relationship with me.

It almost always reads to me as seeking external invalidation for your opinion instead of just stating it .

Omg it is so annoying talking to these people.

Every time I’m out with friends, or even here if I say I don’t like Lobster, crab, or what basically amounts to popular food someone says “It’s because you haven’t had it made by a Massachusetts resident whose family has been there since they landed on Plymouth Rock”. When it’s more simple. I don’t like it, I don’t like the taste, I feel it’s a waste of money for what you get, and overall it’s just too much for so little.

I don’t say the same to people who say they don’t like a specific food, that’s their bag and they have their reasons and it’s probably along my same line of thinking.

Pre-exhaustion is the best way to describe the feeling I get when someone is so utterly uninformed or ignorant on a particular topic that in order to answer the questions they ask you would first have to answer a dozen unasked questions. This is especially frustrating if the matter is not important to start with, but they want an answer. Just bringing them up to speed would take more time than you feel like dedicating to their education in a trivial subject in that moment.

I have never worked fast food or retail. Never worked as a teenager. I’ve only ever been a nurse. I’m sick of people thinking it’s because I’m rich and privileged. In reality, I received a disability check as a child and teenager for hearing loss and a genetic disorder. My mom depended on that check to pay our bills because we were in extremely poverty, so she wouldn’t allow me to work and risk getting that taken away. I couldn’t afford a car on my own without actually getting a job first and saving up, so without parental support, how was I supposed to get to a job in the first place?? My disability check got cut while I was in college for my 4 year degree, but even then I still had the same issue of not being able to afford a car to get to work. I had to pay back $30,000 in student loans due to not being able to work through college. Being able to afford to work is the actual privilege.

Nothing tests my patience more than someone suddenly stopping to check their phone or decide where to go while everyone behind them has to dodge around them.

Sure, I’m fine with hearing about your back issues, but I really don’t care which of your stupid vertebrae is the problem. L-7, T-10, C-20…who gives a sh*t. Do I look like a back doctor to you?

Side note, throwing out medical terminology doesn’t make you look smarter when talking to me while there’s a piece of food stuck in your teeth.

Working in corporate or really any job for that matter. This happens all the time. I'm not trying to come here and say I'm some business genius with immense foresight. But when you are the person actually doing the job, and not just supervising, you really see things management doesn't.

Me: Hey, just letting you know. Because of A, B will happen. We should be doing C to prevent this.

Management: I appreciate the concern but we will continue with our current process

A month later when we are backed up and falling behind and the small issue has become a big issue when it didn't need to

Management: Alright everyone, effective immediately, we will be implementing C. And we need some people to work over time to make up for the issue doing A has caused over the last month.

I dont know why this annoys me so much, but if you can sit there snd complain for hours about something and i take my time to listen and tell you how you can fix it but every suggestion gets shut down.
Its just plain annoying dont complain about something so easily fixed and not expect to get suggestions.

I have a friend right now that has a doctors appointment she wants to change it but didnt call the doctors at 8am (its 12pm now) shes been complaining about this appointment for 2 days, so i said well you can still call now “but your supposed to call early” okay. The phone lines dont shut off at 9am you can still call. “There probably wont be appointments” okay? Chance your luck you clearly dont want this appointment “but what if its persons friends mom *” ,well it doesn’t matter would you rather it be her or be in a situation you have been talking about you don’t want to be in for two days “it doesn’t matter theres no point calling”.

Like I’m suggesting everything and its always shut down but the second i stop replying and giving suggestions I’m the bad person.

Im overly annoyed at something minor but i feel like i have every right to be.

I hate when I say I’ve got it and the person I’m with makes a big scene in front of the waiter / cashier about paying. Like when they get their credit card out and actively try to shove it in the cashier’s face.

At that point I just let them to have the situation end because I used to be a cashier and it would annoy the hell out of me when this happened and then it was awkward on who’s card I would end up taking.

To make it worse some people expect this behavior??? I was talking to someone recently and she said she and her family are offended if they offer to pay and the other person doesn’t do this big song and dance about it.

My god. If someone offers to pay for me, i say “Are you sure ? I can venmo you” and if they say they’re sure, i say “thank you!” And then get the next one. Omfg it’s not that difficult

Especially when you overtake them at the speed limit, then they start going the speed limit next to you so you are forced to just dip back behind them.

Worse, they are hogging the middle lane. Speeding sometimes is the only option 🫡

I normally get this from people whenever they say something crappy or disrespectful, but don't want to face any consequences. It's as if somehow the phrase "Just Saying" will magically make me not want to be upset.

“You speak tagalog? Me too! PUTANG INA”

“You speak mandarin? CAO NI MA”

“Yooo you russian? CYKA BLYAT”

Basically that. You make a post like “i’m unclear on what this is” and tjen for the next 3 days you get notifications that someone else has rewritten the same 4 paragraph answer as everyone else
