I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
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.
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.
I had a boss who would send audio messages constantly. I’d be having a conversation with him, he’d get a text message on his phone, stop talking to me to mess with this phone, do a voice recording, mess it up cause he’d whisper it so others wouldn’t hear him (we still totally could), repeat it, rinse and repeat until he got it right, send it, then would ask me what we were talking about.
I’m convinced people who use voice messages have no situational awareness and are potentially psychopaths
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’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.”
Someone does this in a group chat I’m in, it drives me crazy.
I used to be in a group chat of just voice notes.
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.
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.
Greeting people or goodbye’s. Please don’t touch me, unless you are my child or pet. I was hoping the new covid habits of not shaking hands or hugging would become permanent, but it’s back again. And i still have this reflex of shaking hands, instead of keeping my hands in my pocket.
The habit of people to skip any or all nuance in assessing a situation because it’s “more palatable”.
A good example of this is familial relations. Family is more than just “parent”, “child”, “sibling”, “friend”, and/or “spouse”, you could have grey areas where something would come off as not quite one thing or another thing. Age-gap siblings can develop into having an aunt or uncle who is younger than you, or you might be older than your step-parent, or you might manifest a relationship in a way that contains some aspects of a friendship, etc. But there are people who don’t want to hear any of the buts about it, they just want a one word answer.
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.

The word “poop”. It sounds so disgusting and I can’t bear it if anyone over 6 years of age uses it. Say shit or crap or manure or even stool, just not that stupid nauseating word.
Whenever I poop I try to say the word “poop” with my butthole. It always makes the perfect poop. Not a lot of people know that.
I’m a non native speaker and I honestly thought poop was almost like baby speak for excrement. Hell, it even sounds cute. See also: boop. Have I been wrong all along, or is it just your own perspective?
Its absolutely the most innocent word for feces out there. It’s what kids call it. It’s what I call it. I’m pooping right now
I couldn’t possibly imagine being so mad about poop all the time. What a life to live.
you watch your mouth >:(
If someone called you a ‘poopyhead’ how great would the rage be?
Bowling.
More like bow-ring! Get it, boring, hahaha, ha… I’ll get my coat.

Yes, and all other people who put capitalism ahead of humanism.
That is the argument. What is the best metric to measure a healthy society, GDP? Or education, health, life expectancy, how few hours we work, how free we are to pursue our real goals.
No one has ever used GDP as a metric for “societal health.”
people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer
And drivers who speed out of their driveway
Mercedes & BMW drivers
Cars. They ruin cities.
True true. Cars are outdated, fast reliable frequent 24/7 public transport is the future. Also not random
Hate is such a powerful emotion. I can’t honestly think anything that I hate. I dislike many things but not hate.
When people let their phones ring endlessly. For God’s sake - either answer it or mute it, don’t just ignore it!
I was at a symphony concert where the guest performer was Yo-Yo Ma. And up in the cheap seats where I was, phones went off no less than FOUR TIMES during his performance.
It sure seemed like three of them were the same phone, but there were at least two different phones that went off.
How on earth do you not silence your phone going into a concert? And if you forgot to, how do you not silence your phone when someone else’s goes off? And most importantly, how do you not silence your own phone if it goes off?
During the applause the same person’s phone went off again and I just started laughing.
I later said Dvorak was remarkably far ahead of his time to write a piece for “solo cello, orchestra, and iPhone.”
This infuriates me to no end. I dont understand how these people live. Every few seconds is another notification. If its a Snapchat notification its even worse and I dont know why.
FOMO is a bad beast
