We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:
- People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
- Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
- People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.
Uber/Dash drivers parking wherever suits them, blocking lanes. Inconsiderate pricks!
Then I get annoyed at the companies forcing them to meet unrealistic expectations or they stop getting jobs.
Then I get annoyed at myself for getting annoyed at the poor bastards busting their asses to make a living in a system that treats them as entirely replaceable.
That innocent people will die due to selfishness and bigotry. And that it is decidedly ok.
That’s a small thing?
Its the only thing everything else isn’t even a consideration
Grains of sand
Sounds pretty rough
Doesn’t matter how many times I do laundry, my clothes still get dirty :(
Just don’t wear them then
Fucktards voting for fascists.
That doesn’t sound very small to me good sir
I don’t understand why people cannot move as soon as they get on an escalator. The train station smells like piss and there’s pigeon shit everywhere. Let’s fucking move it!
People spelling “seperately” instead of “separately”.
People on the motorway overtaking you just so they can drive slower than you once they’re in front of you. I always wonder why did they bother overtaking in the first place.
I do that sometimes, but only if the person in front of me is driving slower than my cruise control. then i overtake them, during which they obviously have to speed up and when i go back to cruise control speed now I’m the slow one
People speed up while you overtake them?
This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don’t have overtaking zones for a long way.
Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up…forcing me to go faster than I’m comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them…FUCK OFF!!!
Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.
My family refusing to lower the tv volume and then blaming me staying up at night because of said volume on my phone
People who don’t return their cart to the cart corral in the grocery store parking lot
Local council food scrap bags. We’re supposed to separate our food waste and store it in compostable bags made of cornstarch plastic. Which start to break down the moment you put something wet in there, like food tends to be. How hard is it to design a bag that stays intact from Wednesday to Wednesday?!
Whatever, now my wife has her own compost bin I can cut out the middle man.
Where I live you can either use those cornstarch types or paper bags (very similar to yard waste bags). I like the paper bag for the big bin that goes in the roadside, but cornstarch ones for the one in the kitchen that only sticks around a day or two. Perhaps raise the idea with your local council.
I prefer curbside system because it is able to accept many things that my at home compost can’t handle like dog shit, meats and those biodegradable “plastics” that need industrial facilities. Also apartments.
Neighbors running their leaf blowers for hours and super early or late in the day
People speaking on their phone using a loudspeaker.
People who don’t understand basic elevator etiquette and attempt to walk in before people get off.
People who play Karaoke loud enough for anyone outside of their home to hear.
People who drive two motorbikes / bicycles beside each other and talk, thereby blocking traffic.
People who cut in line.
People who don’t clean up after their pets.
People who get angry at the animals and not the owners for the above.
People who display a total ignorance of the most basic facts regarding other countries.
Dysfunctionally incompetent and/or lazy staff (beyond what is acceptable for low income workers).
Bureaucrats who clearly prioritise covering their ass over performing the most basic functions of their job.
People who are rude/dismissive to others who are smaller/weaker/meeker than them.
Racist taxi drivers.
Asshole bus drivers.
People who don’t apologise when they are wrong and know it.
I can think of more but I’ll stop there.
People who act like they are blind to others in the supermarket. Not making space for others, blocking us with their trolley etc. It’s not a museum.
Soap or shampoo that smell like (and better than) food. Why??
may i introduce you to
I would expect that to actually make you smell worse. Like the scent of a gamer who hasn’t showered all weekend so you can blend in with the rest of your friend group but you’re actually an avid gardener.
Boy do I have another flavour for you.
One time many years ago, the hair conditioner I was using smelled so delicious that I just had to have a curious taste to see what it was like. Disappointing to say the least lol. Yes, I was old enough to know better…I was not a small child when I did this lol
username checks out :P
