“My sister is the absolute worst about this. She puts on events, doesn’t have anything together, gets people to come early and help, then turns into “project manager” and doesn’t do any work herself.”

“My sister does this whenever she arranges a family meal at her place. I’ve taken to turning up when the food is ready because otherwise, I cook everything.”

People That Can’t Actively Listen

“It’s like, at least acknowledge what it’s being said, but they are just waiting for their turn to speak.”

“I used to work with someone who did that. He’d ask me a question and then do it, often interrupting my answer! Why even ask me about my car if you genuinely don’t want to know?”

People Not Being Polite to Others

“For instance, if someone holds a door for you, just say thank you.”

“I personally always say thank you. But I also can’t imagine getting even the slightest bit annoyed if someone doesn’t say thank you to me as I hold open the door.”

People Trying To Enter the Train/Tram/Bus While Others Are Still Getting Out of It

“I’d like to add elevators to this list. Let the people out of the small confined box before shoving your way in against the flow of traffic.”

“Out before In, I learned that in Pre-school at 5 years old.”

People That Take Pictures at the Gym

“And then they post their videos on Tiktok about how rude people are for walking through their shot.”

“I have used a home gym (power rack) in my garage for over a decade. I do not miss going to the gym with other people.”

People Who Take a Call When We Are Having a Conversation

“Once, I was on a date, and he took one of these calls as we sat in a restaurant about to have dinner. While he was on the phone, I got up from the table and asked the host who sat us to please tell the gentleman I came in with that I hoped he and his phone had a lovely evening. He smiled and said he would be happy to. And I left.”

People Not Accepting My Boundaries

“I used to be a people pleaser, and when I learned to say no and set boundaries, people didn’t take it well. I’ve been called selfish and self-centered.”

People in Groups Taking the Whole Sidewalk

“This annoys me to no end. Need for more awareness. People in grocery stores who stop their cart in the middle of the aisle are my tick.”

“I’m now at the point where I get excited when I see a group walking 4 abreast down the sidewalk toward me because of the look of utter confusion, surprise, and disbelief on the face of the person who walks into me when I don’t swerve into someone’s yard or the bike lane.”

“High-end photographer here, and I support this message. No, I’m not bringing my $20k+ rig to your cocktail party because you invited me and “it would be so fun if!”

“Every person working in IT has entered the chat.”

Littering

“Maybe it was just how I was raised, but I always (at least try to) clean up after myself whenever in a public space. Movie theaters, concert/sports venues, etc., I always take my garbage to the trash can.”

“As someone who used to have to clean up movie theaters, it made me a consummate customer. I try to leave no trace whenever I’m done somewhere.”

People Interrupting My Conversations

“If someone does this, continue saying what you were saying exactly as you were saying it. When the inevitable pause comes because they could not take in what you said, allow it to happen until they sort it out.”

“Almost all of my immediate family members constantly talk over each other or interrupt each other. I can’t stand it anymore after I recognized from spending time with other families that it’s not normal for everyone to talk all at once and not listen to each other. They do it with people outside of our family, too. It’s socially and emotionally exhausting spending time with them now.”

The Price of Groceries

“I’m deeply offended by the price gouging going on. Seeing Galen Weston’s smug smiles all over the place while his employees can’t afford his prices is sickening. I’ve been buying in bulk, buying directly, and avoiding those items that are grossly overpriced.”

“Yes, I can’t stand Galen Weston! The audacity of the Westons to use him for marketing no-name products during a cost-of-living crisis is insane. I love seeing more and more people actively trying to avoid giving them any more money!”

“Like not the blatant screaming viral videos we see, but just people get away with saying things to those people or saying them in particular tones they never would in other circumstances, or would without consequence.”

“Insecure people with issues who need to feel superior in an environment where their target can’t call them a nasty, selfish person. I think many of them don’t realize they need therapy, and they certainly don’t realize how horrible they’re being.”

People Arguing With Me About Something I’m Trying To Help Them With

“For example, every episode of Kitchen Nightmares.”

“Are they asking for your help, or are you just being “helpful?”

People Confusing Arrogance for Confidence

“Arrogance is mostly used to hide incompetence.”

“Confidence shows, arrogance tells.”

Not Respecting Other People’s Time

“Being constantly late is not an attractive personality trait. It’s rude.”

“Whenever my family wants to go out for dinner, we lie to my dad. We tell him we want to leave at least 15 minutes earlier than we agreed. It works… Kind of. He’s only a little late most of the time.”

“I used to live in an area with spotty internet, and I’m an avid Sims 3 player. It was all fine and dandy for years. I bought my disks, installed my expansions, and had a lovely time. Then Origin got involved, and suddenly, I needed to be online to play a game that I had paid for and had been playing peacefully without the internet for years? Thanks, EA”

“I am soft-spoken and usually need a few seconds to figure out what I want to say, which people often take to mean that I don’t have anything to say, so they just keep talking.”

“Usually the same people that are just talking for the sake of talking.”

People Expecting You To Accept and Be OK With All Their Issues but Would Never Ever Accept 1% of That From You

“I really can’t stand that kind of behavior. It’s the most selfish, obnoxious behavior you can imagine.”

“And if you ever say no to them, they will gaslight you into thinking they’re the victim.”

Emotional Labor

“I cannot for the life of me understand why people consistently need to confide in me. I listen, reassure, diffuse, etc. I’m just not a jerk, and everyone has bad days every now and again or needs a human being…but there are some people whose main hobby is misery, and they always find me.”

Mobile Apps and Software Products Moving to Subscriptions-Based Models

“This is one of the main reasons I stopped doing my digital art. If I were to pay the subscription for all three major software’s I learned how to use back in the day when you could hold on to the same version indefinitely and use it as much as you like – I’d be up for a few grand every year.”

“Windows computers usually come pre-installed with Solitaire, and I like playing it. But my new laptop (about one year old now) drives me crazy because the pre-installed Solitaire runs ads between every game. And when I turn off the WiFi, the app won’t run. The only way to get rid of ads was to pay a monthly subscription for Solitaire, which is just insane to me.”
