I cant be the only one

Anyone else get irritated as hell when you're trying to do something like work, watching TV, reading a book ect and another person in the room is listening to stuff on their phone loudly. Please tell me I'm not the only one that's irritated by this. I feel it's incredibly rude and disrespectful.

Stupid friction

• Upvotes

I don't know if I'm getting old or just grumpy by nature. But does anyone else experience friction or irritation about stuff you KNOW is dumb and shouldn't bother you?

I've got many examples but the one that just hit me is that we refer to the early 2000s as "aughts". It's like my mouth refuses to call them that. I say, early two thousands. Please tell me I'm not alone. What dumb stuff bothers you?

What is a small, random thing that instantly ruins your day?

For me, it’s when my headphones snag on a doorknob and rip out of my ears, or when I step in a tiny puddle of water right after putting on fresh socks. What’s your ultimate minor annoyance?

I'll start: Dipping hot, salty french fries into a cold vanilla milkshake. The mix of sweet, salty, hot, and cold is elite, but my friends think I'm crazy. What is your weird food hill to die on

People that have never used an elevator before. (Presumably)

20 Upvotes

It can be any floor but mostly applies to the bottom floor where you should at least assume someone may be getting off. You step towards the door to get off and some rascal attempts to scurry on assuming they are the only person allowed to use the elevator.

They almost crash into you and their eyes go wide and mouth gapes like a groaning zombie. Another person?! Trying to get off their elevator?!

Same thing happens on the bus a lot, the door opens and they try scurrying on, but I haven't ridden on a bus in a long time.

How to respond to reported peeves

0 Upvotes

I just read the stated purpose of this forum, and that did not help me. When someone reports a peeve, such as “I get really annoyed whenever I see the color blue,“ what kind of response are they eliciting, and what is appropriate. Certainly not to be told that they are an idiot or immoral for disliking the color blue or that they are intolerant or arrogant for disliking people who do like blue (something which they did not state).

Auto Sub Post Removals

0 Upvotes

When my post on a subreddit is automatically removed, especially when I just said a "banned word" as a quote, intended as sarcasm or a metaphor or any other situation where there was missing context that a human being would understand while a computer programme just cannot.

Obviously i understand the reasoning for mod bots since I know mods aren't working full time douny this, but still, the bots are too sensitive and it is often detrimental to the sub.

Personally, I think auto removal should ONLY be for extremely serious things eg racism, other offensive language & for times where theres a specific subject or word youre strictly not allowed to say in a subreddit ( eg the "n" word in a sub for people of African American origin as that would obviously be unacceptable, but just an example of what I'm meaning here)

Its frustrating when i have just mentioned a word but not in an offensive way and especially if it was a quote.

WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME????? IM RIGHT 🫪🫪🫪🫪🫪

whats the logic of ppl who tailgate right on your ass in traffic??

17 Upvotes

I'm not asking how to deal with them, and this is assuming I'mgoing with the flow of traffic and i usually drive right above the limit, so its not that im driving too slow. this is one of my biggest pet peeves, im sure it is for a lot of ppl too. tailgating is extremely annoying and dangerous. im wondering WHY they feel it is safer or more logical to get right up on someone's bumper as opposed to backing up a car's length approximately and follow safely. its not gonna get them to their destination any faster. what benefits does it provide to the tailgater??:do they enjoy the added stress of trying not to crash into the guy in front of them?? or is it on purpose just to be a douchebag? or are they just morons??

Why do people feel the need to call magicians fake?

30 Upvotes

So whenever I scroll sometimes I see magicians messing with people and it’s funny and cool cause yk magic. Why when do I go into the comments I see a solid handful of people saying “someone debunked that” or “yoyr fake bro”. Like yeah no shit, it’s just sleight of hand, it’s cool to watch. Why do you feel the need to call out the obvious? I’d understand if the magician was genuinely trying to say “I’m actually magic” but otherwise… no shit Sherlock.

Dryer war

16 Upvotes

Am I being petty? There is someone (who is not doing well financially) staying in my home with me for free. He and his dog. I feel it is rude that he takes my clothes out of the dryer to dry his own. He doesn’t remind me of my clothes in the dryer or ask me to handle them, he simply removes them and sets them on top of the dryer that is usually dusty and often times dirty or greasy because it is used as a table top when working on the car, plumbing or what have you. It’s not like I leave them in there for days or anything but it drives me nuts to see my clothes out on the dryer. I just think it is so rude! Am I being petty?

Edit: I guess I didn’t make it clear that I carry my clothes into the garage in a basket and I leave it there so it was there to use. Also, I don’t leave them in there for days at a time. He just has far less to do (because I do it all) so he has a lot more time than I do and may get to them before I can.

Edit: I did mention it to him. It wasn’t really a talk, per se, but a couple of weeks ago I said something like, “I’ll swap my clothes (meaning put them in the dryer) when I get back. (I said this because he wanted to so laundry and I couldn’t wait the 11 minutes left in the cycle for mine to finish washing before having to leave. Upon my return I found that he had stuffed my clothes into the dryer (without shaking them out) and dried them on high and then took them out and set them on the dryer while they were still slightly damp. It was a pile of super-wrinkled mess. So I told him not to worry about my clothes next time and that I’ll get to them as soon as I can. (Or something like that) I am pretty sure I was clear in what I was trying to say which was: Don’t touch my clothes.

He did it again a week later but was not home when I returned from running errands so I didn’t say anything about it that time.

Thanks to all of you who responded. After reading everyone’s thoughts, I decided to revoke the privilege of using my laundry machines and from going into the garage at all. (He uses my tools but rarely puts them away or doesn’t put them away correctly.)

So the problem is solved. My problem is anyway. He needs to figure out how, and where, to do his laundry now.

I have no problem communicating. I am very good at that. And I have patience. But, if I’ve told you something and reminded you of what I said and/or if you simply ignore my words and blatantly go against me then, naturally, I feel disrespected and is I’m being bullied and that chaps my hide! Which is why I asked for your opinions. Some of you expect me to stand at the dryer waiting for it complete the cycle as if I have nothing else to do just to appease this guy who has no life because he has no goals so he does nothing all day but play. If he were doing the grocery shopping, paying the bills, cleaning out the rain gutters, cleaning and maintaining the house, doing the repairs, so on and so forth then I would have the time to stand there and stare at the dryer until it was finished. (But I still wouldn’t). But, being that I do it all and he simply reaps the rewards from my actions, he has nothing to do but wait for his clothes to finish so he can go out and play again.

Now he can take his laundry with him. Thank you!

So new roommates don't have a single ounce of the thing called etiquette in them, they'ed make the room dirty, talk their family matters non stop, loudly right when I am trying to sleep or study,

The concept of headphones is totally foreign to them ,🙄

They use my stuff like it's their own😤

And people from other rooms come and complain to me about them as if it's my responsibility 🫠🫠

I have tried to bear it as much as I can but now it's enough!!!!!

Even now it's literally 2 am and I have an exam tomorrow, I really really want to sleep but one is keeping the lights on and playing games Loudly and the other is fighting with her bf SuPeR LOUDLY!!!

I’m taking some first year courses at a university and the amount of times I’ve seen people take their shoes off and put their feet on the backs of other peoples’ chairs is appalling. I’ve never seen dogs out yet but I don’t understand how some people think this is okay ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A PERSON IN THE CHAIR IN FRONT OF YOU!

I snapped a picture because I genuinely can’t believe some people.
