Pride and Prejudice
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
Inconsideration. Drives me absolutely crazy.
Stupid things like being at work, someone uses the last of something and just leaves the empty box and tells no one that we’re out. To me that says “fuck you, someone else can clean this. I got what I need, the person who needs it next can say we need more.”
Try to get a quick lunch, sit down to eat, asshole in corner listening to tiktok at full volume, imagine murdering this pos through the entire meal.
His name is Lou and he drives me insane…
The full volume is annoying enough, but shit like tiktok is like listening to someone change the channel every 5 seconds… And at full volume…

Cars in cities.
You don’t realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.
I don’t need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.
People who think they’re an island. I don’t know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and they’re part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesn’t matter if it’s stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.
Intolerance.
How paradoxical.
No it isn’t. Tolerance is a social contract; if you don’t abide by it you don’t get to be protected by it. Simple as.
Just riffing on a popular concept. I totally agree.
Honestly. I’m tired of le reddit type people trying hard to stress the illogicality of not tolerating the intolerance. Well I am not tolerant of all but an advocate for tolerance then. I will do everything within my power to help the world become more tolerant. That includes being tolerant towards others and intolerant towards the intolerant.
For me it’s this, and the Dutch.
Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.
I once had a date where the guy threw a candy’s wrapper to the floor while we were on the way to his house and went “oops 😉” as if it was funny or cute. I wish i would’ve picked it up when he didn’t notice and hide it in his house.
God that has raised my blood pressure. What a dickhole
I always have to look out for shards of broken glass in the bicycle gutter lane because I guess some people think it’s fine to just throw glass bottles on the ground
Tailgating
I would tack on shitty drivers in general. People driving in the shoulder just bc they’re in a hurry or think they’re important, not using turn signals, not letting people merge, being distracted using their phone, weaving through traffic at high speed; things got way worse during the pandemic and they haven’t at all improved at least as far as I can tell.
car horn sounds and girls voice specially screeming
Botulinum toxin
You can blame @Mubelotix@jlai.lu for that one.
People unable to pick up sarcasm through text.
Alcohol Weed Lactose
Yeah I’m no fun.
Intolerance.
Thanks karl popper.
It’s a real problem, but I hate filler words. “Um uh hmm” just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It’s at a level where I’ve seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn’t really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it’s so hard.
