I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
People who use their turn signal AS THEY’RE TURNING. You asshole! You’re supposed to do it a bit before you turn to let people know your intent. There’s no point in signaling as you’re turning because I CAN SEE YOU TURNING! Fuck!
And usually all the cars around them had to wait six years because they weren’t aware of the upcoming turn (busy intersections).
Happens all the time yeah.
Audio messages, I hate them with a passion. Sometimes I just refuse to listen to them. Can’t search them for info, and why tf do you assume I can just stop my day to listen to this shit I don’t have my goddamn headphones connected all the time, and I’m not about to put the phone to my ear for a full 5 minutes and no talk looking like a goddamn weirdo.
I just ignore them completely. They don’t exist for me. Depending who it is, I can say “I didn’t have time to listen to it but next time if you text/message I can probably get back to it faster.”
It’s so inconsiderate too. If you want to use your voice then use voice-to-text and send a text message.
put the phone to my ear
Clearly you would look more normal if you blast it on the speaker while holding the phone in front of you, like everyone else. /s
I’m not a hater but I understand the sentiment. I only exchange audio with very few people I feel comfortable with we both want to listen to our shit for that long, and I never expect a quick reply.
Randoms or new acquaintances sending audios without asking permission first usually annoy me.
I’ll make one exception for audio messages: the other person being in a situation where they cannot easily type the message, but it’s not an emergency. Hands full, driving, inclement weather, etc. I take it as an implicit “this message is important, but not drop-everything-else critical.”
buildings with upward-facing spotlights, especially single-family homes with façade lights. it’s like nobody cares about light pollution.
I’ve been considering reporting streetlights that don’t point straight down because they technically violate city codes.
Oh shit I’ve always liked the way those looked. I thought they made the house look fancy but I never considered the light pollution.
- TikTok.
- Short form videos.
- Tutorials in a 10 minute video format. Just give me a list of instructions I can skim to find the thing I’m looking for.
- Influencers and “content creators”. Please get cancer and die.
- YouTube after 2011 or so
- Monetization of platforms
- The way software development evolved from a highly praised skill to being regarded as nothing more than a fleshbased code printer for creating more shareholder value
- How the art scene is now mostly relying on social media exposure and followers
- so, Actually most of the modern internet.
- The lie that you can become rich and succesful by working hard and putting in the hours
I can go on for quite a while. Millenial disillusionment is real.
Can I just copy and paste this as my answer?
Birthday celebrations
For many people it’s the one day of the year they feel special. I think we all deserve that, and it costs me nothing to wish someone a happy birthday. That’s not to say I’m required to spend time or money on them, but it doesn’t bother me when all they want is a bit of recognition.
I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm. I feel very alone in this outrage. People are flying around in private fucking jets, and you want us all to take one for the team and suffer a shitty dribble of a shower every day. A generous hot shower is one of the few things that makes our lives far better than our great great grandparents. Taking out the flow restrictor is like having sex without a condom. A whole generation of suckers won’t even know what they’re missing.
I hate ordering a beer in a restaurant and it comes in a shaker pint (conical pint), which is usually a 13 oz pour. How can we have a government who verifies the measurement of fuel pumps, but not beer, when beer costs like 15x more than fuel. Fill lines are a simple, cheap, and good solution.
I hate metering lights. For those who don’t know they’re stoplights on the on-ramp to an interstate highway. Waste of fuel, don’t help with traffic.
I really hate advertisements. It seems the more I block them, the more offensive they are when one gets through.

Bruh YouTube ads feel like I was called every slur ever made and pissed on by Hitler when my premium expired. Before then, an ad was just another ad.
YouTube ads start playing on mobile YouTube and I recoil in disgust, “like fucking hell you do!”, and swiftly retreat to ReVanced
YouTube is pretty bad. If I’m watching a video at 1.5x, it remembers this setting for the next video, so the same courtesy should apply to the ads. Avoidable in a web browser for now, eventually I’ll just have to youtube-dl anything I want to watch.
Goddamn. LED. Headlights. Also the way different manufacturers have these tacky headlight setups to somehow set then apart from others so not only are they as bright as the fucking sun, they have way more diodes than is ever necessary.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO CARE WHAT THE FUCK IM WEARING!
I used to work in an email heavy industry, so people who don’t use email or more specifically what I call “threading” right.
Changing the topic (so that the discussion no longer relates to the subject line), replying to add someone in without reattaching the relevant attached files, not using redirect email functionality, including screenshots that either lack relevant information due to poor cropping or forces the recipient into retyping its contents by hand all make email super annoying to deal with. And what’s with being expected to confirm you received each and every email? Ever heard of read receipts?
Also, people who don’t read error messages. As a web developer (or more broadly “computer person”) I cannot count how many times someone has sent me a picture of an error asking me what to do. 90% of the time the error itself tells you exactly what to do. Why do I need to read it for you?
I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.
Had a lot of teens walking around with the puffy jackets or hoodies on and ski masks over this past summer. Don’t think we have that many schizophrenic people around here.
It’s not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they’re more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.
So either medical, emotional or social. 🤷

the way yoga instructors speak, for some reason. I don’t hate Yoga itself, just that fake calm voice makes me pretty mad. I could relax much better if the instructor just shouted like a drill sergeant all the time
Same. I hate how TikTok popularized it for things that have NOTHING to do with yoga or relaxing and so many youtubers copy TikTok either ironically or unironically, and it’s hard to escape.

Got misophonia, the sound of dog licking triggers me
licks his dog, loudly
Ugh yes, our dog is constantly licking his teeth and smacking his lips. Even while he’s just laying in his dog bed at night. It’s so annoying. Vet says its normal…
When people block aisles at the grocery store and you say “excuse me”, but they act like they don’t hear you and don’t move. It’s literally just you and them in the aisle, they don’t need to have their cart in the middle of the aisle while they stand next to it. There’s enough room for 2 people and their carts to fit in an aisle.
I have moved carts before, with their owners right there. Usually they apologize, so maybe people are just not aware of their surroundings, or maybe I’m a 6’3” big guy with a pissed off look on his face. Could be either
Ice in drinks, because I hate straws so I almost exclusively drink from the side of the glass. Ice slams into my teeth and makes me rage. What a first world problem lol
Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?
- You get less of the drink you paid for
- It ends up watered down.
- Cold = less flavour
- It’s too fucking cold
And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice
