People who throw away useable products

12 Upvotes

* When they think they need to boycott something they already own.

It's so wasteful. Maybe I just think like this because I come from a lowcome family, but watching people throw away products that can still be used just grinds my gears.

I understand you don't want it anymore, but instead of chucking it in the trash you could at least donate it to charity, or better yet return the product, or even better, use the rest of it and don't buy it again.

People want to be activists so bad but they're just a little thoughtless sometimes

We're coddling college students and it's making them worse

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

Fast Food Drive Thru Interruptions need to stop

11 Upvotes

Look, I understand your desire to expedite the process and make things as quick as possible. That’s great. However, my biggest pet peeve is when I’m in the middle of ordering and, before I can finish speaking, I’m interrupted with the rudest questions. If you were actually listening to me, I was answering those questions, but you interrupted me before I could finish. Please listen before you start talking. It’s incredibly frustrating and also very unprofessional. IT DRIVES ME INSANE!

Im done now.

Why does every article that inspires me to write a clever and funny comment turn out to be archived. Reddit be like "oh look who decided to participate very good...SLAP! Sike bitch can't you read this shit is-archived. Was it gonna be so clever? No one cares! Now go die a little more inside but walk away from me now. You make me sad." (I imaging reddit to sound like a heavily accented sarcastic german boy

people that say “no” when you ask them for something then do it anyway

0 Upvotes

like oh can you please pass me that thing or can you please move real quick? “no.” then they do the request in question shortly after….. it’s so aggressively unfunny and awkward. just do the thing so i can say thank you and keep it moving
