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…

my CAT. is so, cute!
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
Intolerance.
For me it’s this, and the Dutch.
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.
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.
Just riffing on a popular concept. I totally agree.
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.
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
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.
Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
At this point, everything.
Hear you there!
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
I have a nearly fully blocked nose, always have. As such I can’t really breathe through my nose at all (also my sense of smell is nearly nonexistent). I still eat with my mouth closed. It does take me a while longer though, since I basically need to stop eating in order to breathe. But I’d rather do that than the alternative, because I agree with you, chewing with your mouth open is disgusting and disrespectful.
AI
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can’t stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you’re going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
If they do that more than a few times I’m not inviting them anymore
Agreed! Having to manage that with the TTRPG group I run right now. Cutting it close.
I used to do this when I felt unwelcome (I actually was). Maybe you could make sure your friends know you really would like them to come
Oh they definitely do know they are welcome, but I appreciate the advice!
This one drives me up the Fucking Wall™, because how difficult is it to spend 2 seconds letting people know through text that you’re not going? it’s so inconsiderate and immature.
Botulinum toxin
You can blame @Mubelotix@jlai.lu for that one.
People being rude to customer facing employees.
Cars, plastic, capitalism and fascism.
Le reddit comment: one of these is not like the others xDDDDDD
Edit: reddit mods are downgrading Leave me alone this is outside your jurisdiction and you smell ewww
To future readers, Would quotes better suite the flavor of the above post, or a conjunction of the colon with quotes?
Exercise. In my case it’s so bad that “sitting upright” counts as exercise. Or “watching something slightly intellectually stimulating”. I basically live 24/7 in bed. Haven’t showered in months. I look forward to the next day my wife shaves off my ugly ass dirty greasy hair.
are you ok
My illness is chronic but my tits are iconic!
So, uh, no, I’m not ok. I’m glad I live in a country with a somewhat working social safety net and I’m lucky to have a loving wife who can take care of me.
Ive been through a fraction of this, and I can only imagine how not nice it must be to be debilitated like this.
I wish you the best for the illness, and congratulations for the tits.
