Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.
The words truth, facts or liberty in all caps.
FREEDOM!!!
When I email someone a quick question that could be answered in like 6 words and, 90 seconds later, they’re calling my phone.
Text from my direct report at 7am Saturday morning: “Please call me as soon as possible!!!”
I call immediately. Him: “I can’t talk right now, when is a good time to call you back?” Me:
“Just call me when you can, omg.”Him: Calls me three hours later to take 20 minutes explaining why he needs an afternoon off two months from now.
Me: “This could have been a text, Pablo.”
people thinking vaccines are bad rather than the main reason lifespan rose so much in the modern age.
THE TREND OF ALL CAPS IN MARKETING
I really hate the use of quotes “for emphasis”
also branding
particularly the style that gives up on capitalisation and punctuation
this is not primary school
The past tense of the verb “to lead” is “led.”
“Lead” is a heavy metal.
I wish we could be as certain about ‘read’.
News articles that use slam and other internet clickbait title terminology.
Would also like to stop hearing the word Unhinged. I don’t think it carries any value anymore.
I kinda want to start describing sensible people as “hinged” now
“Kim Kardashian slams neighbor’s gate sparking an unhinged reaction. Tune in at 11 for more coverage of Gate-gate.”
Lmao, how am I the first to invite this?
Autocorrect always seems to choose the wrong spelling for its and it’s. If you’re trying to use the possessive, it changes it to “it’s.” If you’re trying to use the contraction of “it is,” it changes it to “its.” 😬
I never had these dumbass incorrect context changes when autocorrect was new. It only seems to get worse over time, instead of better.
Mine tried to correct ‘about’ to ‘Scott’ if I even swiped a bit wrong, and now it’s locked in and doesn’t even work if I do it carefully.
You can usually remove predicted words if this starts happening. On mine, it’s done by pressing and holding the prediction, then confirming. If you use the name Scott regularly anyway, it’ll re-learn it without the incorrect association
Last week I texted my wife “I desire chicken” and Autocorrect tried to change it to "I desire children. I don’t, Autocorrect. In either sense! What sick game are you playing…?
Autocorrect has gotten significantly worse for me recently. I used to be pretty well adjusted to my phone and know which words I did not need to capitalize/spell correctly because autocorrect would do it for me. Now, it feels like it is all over the place. It also does not seem to acknowledge commonly used proper nouns anymore. I type my brother’s name all the time, yet it will autocorrect to the same name witn different spelling.
Autocorrect is devolving.
The words “shoppe” and “towne”.
As a psychology nerd:
-
the lack of understanding and empathy for others (even when their opinions are different or “wrong”
-
The lack of understanding of how behavior is driven and encouraged to change.
-
The comfort level with looking at something very complex and assuming you know it deeply in moments (referring to short form video “teaching” psychology and mental health stuff)
-
The overall disconnect between the physical medicine community and the psychological/mental health communities (i.e. mental health is a huge driver in cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases)
-
I could go on. Learning more is my passion but damn it’s so depressing when I begin to understand something and see the abounding ignorance on it

Everything requiring a personal phone number and/or email just so corpos can keep tabs and data harvest personal information out of people an do what the hell ever with it without any consent. My personal data is not your damn property, leave it the fuck alone.
Local area code-867-5309. I use it everywhere.
But i would acttualy need the phone number for sms verification code for registering things online which i refuse to give my phone number. I like my online privacy
That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam!My favorite thing to do is I have a secondary domain name that is setup with a catch all email address mailbox. So when they ask for a email i just give them nameofstoresux@domain.com and when they say i need a real email address I say it’s real. The look on their face when my phone buzzes with the recept is priceless. Then promptly back hole that address
I don’t even bother going that far. I just have a [words]receipts@[domain].com and use it for all of those e-receipts, accounts that make you sign up at checkout, known spam generators.
If I need to search for a receipt for any reason, I have it there. But none of it clogs up my real email
Why not get a free email at mail.com instead of paying for a domain?
Nails. Like the kind you hammer in. I hate them. They always come out and you have to hammer them in again eventually. Screws are the way to go.
I bought this skittles set for the kids to have a competition at a kids birthday party. The pins and ball are reasonable quality but the staples holding the box together fell apart the second we tried to pack it away.
Put nails in at an angle, and alternate the angle so a row of nails looks like a row of Vs. Whenever reasonable I’d still go for screws though.
Website redesigns. Just more whitespace all over the place, less information on the screen, and more trouble trying to get anything done.
Github is especially bad about this. I’m so tired of only being able to fit about 50 lines of code on the screen at a time, or issues with a similar lack of information density. I can understand this paradigm for websites that you only use once every year or so, but for something that most people use regularly every day, it’s such a backwards anti-productivity trend. I hate it… hope it dies someday.
People at work wants me to do something and using phrasing, like “can we check this?” , “we must do xy quickly”. What do you mean WE? If you want me to do something personally just fucking say it MF! It makes my blood boil.
My dad used to do this shit all the time. He would be like “let’s clean the house” but what he really meant was “You clean the house.”
Nurse we
When restaurants have booth seating where you can feel the person in the booth behind you moving around in their seat.
