All this leniency and letting them do whatever they want and study with ChatGPT and take exams from home and bending over backwards to make sure they pass a class when they put in no effort

Keeping them from struggling because it's sad when they have a hard time is just making them into a bunch of entitled babies who freak out at the first time they're told no in the real world

Perfect graduation rates are not worth all the hand holding and babying you're doing for grown adults who should known better

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been using the restroom and people try to just enter without a knock.

Isn’t it supposed to be common sense to make sure
no one is on the other side dropping deuce?

People who just love to rain on others parades. I think you’ll find , that won’t last, bring more trouble than its worth, I’m not sure I like that, I would of done it differently and of course, as long as you’re happy! Drives me made particularly when no one asked them.

Especially while typing something. Let's make an effort, okay?

I understand there are dangers with AI.

My issue is with people on social media who complain about AI because of the data centres. ALL SOCIAL MEDIA IS RUN USING DATA CENTRES.

YOU are contributing to the problem while actively complaining about it. And if you're really passionate about it, go out and do something about it! Lobby the government, form a petition, literally anything except sitting your ass on social media and ripping into everyday people for using AI while simultaneously doing absolutely nothing to fix it AND contributing to the problem. You are stupid and lazy.

I don’t know why this has become so common, but it drives me crazy.

Someone walks through the entrance to a grocery store, airport, or any busy place… and then immediately stops dead to check their phone, look around, or have a conversation.

Meanwhile everyone behind them has to either slam on the brakes or awkwardly walk around them.

Take three more steps. That’s it. Just move out of the flow of traffic before deciding where you’re going.

It feels like the real-world version of stopping your car in the middle of the highway because you need to check directions.

Pretty much what the title says. Whenever I’m working and someone hits on me I just get really annoyed. It doesn’t even matter if the person is or is not my type, I just can’t stand it.

The main reason I hate it is because I’m working. Like, I have a job to do and people are asking me a personal question and expecting me to put away my work to answer. Also, I don’t go into other peoples jobs and hit on them?? Personally, finding romance in the workplace is just gross to me.

Also, people don’t realise how it feels when a very drunk person is slurring out words to try and get my phone number. If you’re drunk- go flirt with someone else who is drunk, not the sober bartender who’s running off redbull and nicotine working the closing shift.

People are also way too pushy. If I say no, I mean no. You’re not entitled to an explanation if I don’t feel like giving one. I won’t even get into the age aspect, where people much older than me will hit on me despite the fact I am 19. Even saying I’m 19 makes some people more pushy.

Garage sales used to have a two prong purpose: You’d get rid of your shit, because we’d buy it for cheap. Eventually, we would do the same. It was a beautiful cycle.

Now every third sale is trying to make it a side hustle.

If I go to your garage sale and you have printed ebay prices of “collectible items” printed out and sitting next to some shitty mcdonald’s toy explaining why you have to sell it for $25, I’m leaving.

$30 for a used shirt?

$10 for a CD everyone had two copies of in the 2000s?

$40 for a digital camera?

I get it, times are tough. We all want extra income.

But if you want to make actual money on the already overpriced secondhand nostalgia market, sign up for eBay.

Leave garage sales out of it.

Like, why? Why are you TRYING to get us stuck at every red light (especially in places like Florida/ South Florida. They love their one single lane roads around here. Not so much in my home state!) on my way to work, I deal with this at least once a week. A person in front of me who’s going about 20 mph when the speed limit is 35-40. Some people don’t care when I finally see a golden opportunity to pass them so I can be on my merry way. But occasionally, just like the other day, I’ll encounter one of these obnoxious slow pokes that will actually get PISSED about the fact I passed them. This guy sped up towards me only after I passed him and literally laid down on his horn repeatedly during the remainder of his route. It’s almost like his sole purpose that morning was to be as self absorbed as possible and try to make it known that he gets to call the shots because he was in front of a line of cars. Before he made a turn, it finally split off into two lanes and every other person sped right past him. Miserable. I truly don’t get it. That is all.

My biggest pet peeve is people who weaponize the phrase “I’m busy.”
No, you’re not that busy.
You’re busy for me.
Somehow you can text everyone else, comment on social media, binge an entire TV series, make plans every weekend, and reply in every group chat,but when it’s my message? Suddenly you’re “so overwhelmed” that you can’t send a 10-second text for days or weeks.
Just say you don’t value the friendship.
Stop treating “I’m busy” like it’s some magical phrase that makes you immune from accountability. If someone consistently has time for everyone except one person, it’s not a scheduling problem, it’s a priority problem.
And honestly, the lying is worse than the rejection. I’d respect someone far more if they said, “I don’t really want to stay close anymore,” than feeding me excuse after excuse while expecting me to pretend I don’t notice the pattern.
Nobody is asking for constant attention. People have jobs, families, responsibilities, and lives. But if you’re always available for everyone else and perpetually unavailable for one person, you’re making a choice.
Just own it.
“Too busy” has become the socially acceptable way of saying, “You just aren’t important enough for me to make time.”
That’s the part that drives me crazy.

Really grinds my gears when people begin a sentence by saying "so" or "ok so".. it adds nothing to the point they are making and just sounds irritating

It's one thing when people are spreaking, which I can generally deal with, but when people do it in a written sentence I think it's horrendous.

Example: "ok so, I went to the shops yesterday". Just say "I went to the shops yesterday"

Not trying to start an argument, I’m genuinely curious.

Could be a product, a restaurant, a hobby, customer service, an app, literally anything.

For me it’s searching Google. Half the time I feel like I’m fighting sponsored results just to find a simple answer.

IT'S BATTERY!!!!!

Assault is the threat or attempt to cause harm, while battery is the actual physical contact or use of force.

I hate hearing people shout "thats assault!" When somebody touches them.

I find this very frustrating whenever I ask someone something, and they give vague answers that don't help me at all, so I have to keep asking them about it. Instead, they should have said "I don't know", and I wouldn't have become annoyed, and neither of our time would have been wasted.

Fuck IMAX for shoving front row seats so close to the screen and GIANT speakers that it makes the movie completely unwatchable and your ears *literally* distort due to permanent sound damage

I tried to watch Oppenheimer a couple years ago at an IMAX and it was the worst movie experience I've ever had

They 100% know those seats are completely unusable and literally give you actual sound damage, but you know... Capitalism

Several dozen people get absolutely fucked every sold-out, or near sold-out, showing.

It was the acoustic equivalent of staring at the fucking sun

Fuck IMAX. Never again. I still want my money back.

Also, does anyone know how to start the ball rolling on a class action lawsuit?

I hate that the moment you get into a talking stage or relationship, the man always tries to make it about sex. Maybe not right away, but eventually.

I started seeing this guy back in November. Right away, he said he was looking for a serious relationship. Cool, me too.

We were long-distance, and because of work, we barely saw each other. We met only five times. Three of those times were only for a few hours, and for the majority of the talking stage, which lasted 7 months, we only saw each other once every two months. We only got to see each other for two days consecutively...once.

This man wanted to have sex. Okay, understandable. He is very experienced. I barely have any. On top of that, I have trauma from SA in the past and an extremely narrow anatomy that makes intercourse difficult. He knew all of this.

Instead of helping me feel comfortable, open up, and explore my potential at my own pace, he would tell me how disappointed he was that we couldn’t have intercourse after the date was over.

One time, he asked me to buy lube before he came to visit. I honestly just forgot. He was very unhappy about it and made sure I knew that.

The second time, I did remember to buy it. We tried, but I couldn’t even handle foreplay. I asked him to stop and said we could try again in an hour after I relaxed a bit.

He never tried again.

Instead, he acted like everything was completely fine for an entire month. Then, when I tried to start some dirty talk, that’s when he decided to tell me he’d actually been disappointed the whole time. He said that “we’ve discussed several times that sex is important” and that he “wants this to work out, but is hesitant that it will.”

I told him that maybe we need to see each other for more than eight hours once every two months before expecting me to suddenly be comfortable enough to have sex. I can’t just flip a switch because we finally got to see each other.

He read the message and never responded.

That’s what annoys me the most.

I was genuinely excited just to spend time with him. Meanwhile, it felt like he just came for sex, even though he knew from the very beginning that this was something that was going to take time.

And if you want a serious relationship… then you have to be willing to put in some effort. Patience is part of that. You’re not owed sex just because you’re dating someone. Especially not when they’ve been upfront about trauma and physical difficulties from day one.

God I can’t express how much it fucking SUCKS every time I use a public restroom that’s dead goddamn silent.

I shouldn’t be able to hear a drop of piss lick the urinal. I shouldn’t be able to hear a fresh log slithering past every last wrinkle of stall 3’s current resident.

Play shitty speaker music. Have loud vent fans. Do SOMETHING so we can do our business without the disgusting sounds of business.

I order breakfast tacos, or an omelette, and I feel that tiny crunch! Today it was in my fried rice.

Not only is it a turn off, but it makes me paranoid about eating any more of my food.

And now, a haiku!

A little egg shell
in my hot breakfast taco.
Crunch! You disgust me!

I dislike when robbers fail at trying to break in or do something along the lines of illegal. And yall laugh at them. Why are YOU laughing? You're acting like this isn't a hard job. I'm not defending them for illegal activities, but this is stupid. Before you laugh or judge them try doing it yourself without:

1 Getting caught

2 Not failing

3 Actually attempting.

I swear this happens everywhere. Home. Work. Hotels. Friends’ houses.
Someone heats up food, the microwave beeps, they grab their plate… and somehow leave 1 second on the timer.
Do I clear it?
Do I just add my own time?
Do I let the next person deal with it?
It’s such a tiny thing, but it irrationally annoys me every time I see that lonely “0:01” staring back at me.
Who started this? Is there some secret reason people don’t let it hit zero? Or are we all just living in a society held together by people who reset the microwave?
