I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
Hate is such a powerful emotion. I can’t honestly think anything that I hate. I dislike many things but not hate.
People who subscribe to the whole male power struggle culture. Not just in a political sense; people will say things about respect or posturing etc. and it physically disgusts me to be reminded that people live like that.

MONKEYS! I HATE MONKEY!
It’s like God drew a crude Picture of you and said “Hehe thats you!”. My God I hate Monkey so much. They are evil, they are gross and they are ugly.
They are unsettling lol. Except Donkey Kong.
I didn’t know Frieza had a lemmy account.
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).
So generally I use turn signals correctly. But there are a few times I don’t for particular reasons.
If I am sitting at the rightmost lane at a busy intersection and intend to turn right, I honestly tend to not turn on my right turn signal. The ambiguity of whether or not I’m turning or going straight helps keep assholes behind me from honking at me. I’ve found that an unfortunately large amount of people get impatient when someone in front of them is turning right on red onto a busy road. They honk and act like assholes because they want you to dangerously jump into traffic and not wait for a clearing so they can go sooner.
I know I could turn on my turn signal and just let an an asshole lay on their horn, but honestly I really truly prefer to avoid that.
Happens all the time yeah.
People who get offended by a behaviour that doesn’t affect them at all
Arguably, somebody else being offended doesn’t affect you at all.
Better not lock eyes with Mr. Birthday Celebrations in this thread
If you’re sweating so much you smell bad and are working less because you’re overheated and you’re wearing a North Face™ mountain climber ahh jacket in a packed Amazon Delivery Station during peak time where there’s like 100k packages being delivered today, yeah, I’m offended as hell.
And… My mother forced me to wear my jacket when shopping as a kid and I’d be overheated and nauseated, and she’d shop for at least six hours, and I wouldn’t be allowed to take the jacket off because “we’re leaving soon get over it” like you didn’t say “soon” three hours ago. I’m offended at people who do that on purpose.
Birthday celebrations
Birthdays make me so uncomfortable. Even when they’re mentioned in work chat and it’s flooded with gifs/“happy birthday!”s, I just don’t get it.
Same. I still don’t know the social script in these scenarios. Do I individually thank everyone for their birthday wishes? Do I thank everyone with one message after it seems like everyone’s done? How long do I wait? What if someone jumps in after I do that with a belated happy birthday?
It’s uncomfortable for me too. I asked HR to keep mine private at work, but before this I would just react with a like to the wishes and write a short thatnk you all at the end of the day… The late wishes I would just ignore…
I think a simple “Thanks, everyone!” message posted sometime during the day at your convenience is sufficient; individual replies or replies to subsequent messages are not necessary.
Soup served in a bowl.
Who would want to consume a warm smoothie slowly with a spoon?
At least when in family I drink straight from the bowl. With the spoon (sometimes chopsticks) being only for the solid bits.
My wife was raised in a culture where this is extremely rude. I know she hates it so I just take the bowl into the kitchen and finish it off there. I don’t want to screw around with the spoon for 10 hours either.
That seems like a good compromise. I’d be probably doing the same if anyone from my family complained about it.
Wait, what do you serve your soup in?
Cars. They ruin cities.
True true. Cars are outdated, fast reliable frequent 24/7 public transport is the future. Also not random
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.
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.
One time I was working my way down the bread/dairy aisle at a grocery store. It’s one of the wider aisles there, if 2 people pulled their carts off to the side, a third person could squeeze down the middle as long as those first two took a little care to not stick out into the aisle too much
Of course they never do
So there I am coming down the middle of the aisle, trying to squeeze between some idiot agonizing over which container of sour cream they should buy, and some moron who can’t decide on a loaf of bread who are stopped directly across from each other, uttering plenty of “'scuze me/pardon me/lemme just squeeze through heres” and of course neither of them move an inch
I nearly make it, but do tap one of their carts a bit in the process
I give her a quick “sorry” and continue on my way.
Then she yells down after me with a very indignant “excuse you”
Lady, you were the one blocking the aisle without any situational awareness, and I already apologized, fucking die mad about it.
Up here during COVID, a lot of grocery stores implemented arrows and traffic directions in their aisles so that no one aisle was two way. They basically became one way streets.
I desperately hoped that they would keep that, but nope. Quickly returned to the old jack-assery.
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
People that leave trash in my car, usually the same people that exclaim “your car is so clean” when they first get in and see that it’s completely empty save for a few things in the glovebox.
I remember that thing I hate: Ice cream melting faster than your consumption speed. Aaaaarrrrrrrgghhhh I hate it!
Sounds like you need an ice cream eating partner.
I volunteer as tribute
I like your solution. I accept
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.
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.
I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm
never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)
I’m with you on the shower heads. I rip out the flow restrictors before I even install one.
I just measured my showers. I was thinking it would be over 3 gpm but my downstairs is 2.6, and upstairs is 2.25. Pretty modest actually. My guess is that they’re designed for the national standard of 2.5 gpm without a restrictor. It just makes me so mad to squeeze simple pleasures from the poor through regulation. People are miserable enough for fucks sake, if they can afford a $0.50 shower let them enjoy 10 minutes of the day.
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.
There is a confluence of problems here. LED headlights are stupidly bright, but if they’re aimed correctly and the headlights aren’t too high up, they’re not as big an issue generally.
But the arrival of LED headlights coincided with cars getting tall as fuck. There are pickup trucks whose headlights are nearly as high up as my head. Which just compounds the problem, because even if those lights are aimed mostly correctly, they’re still gonna blind people.
It’s infuriating.
omg it’s the worst. When I’m not in a great mood, I flash my brights at said tall-ass pickup trucks. Probably gonna get shot one day.
Bowling.
More like bow-ring! Get it, boring, hahaha, ha… I’ll get my coat.
