I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer
And drivers who speed out of their driveway
Goddamn. LED. Headlights. Also the way different manufacturers have these tacky headlight setups to somehow set then apart from others so not only are they as bright as the fucking sun, they have way more diodes than is ever necessary.
There is a confluence of problems here. LED headlights are stupidly bright, but if they’re aimed correctly and the headlights aren’t too high up, they’re not as big an issue generally.
But the arrival of LED headlights coincided with cars getting tall as fuck. There are pickup trucks whose headlights are nearly as high up as my head. Which just compounds the problem, because even if those lights are aimed mostly correctly, they’re still gonna blind people.
It’s infuriating.
omg it’s the worst. When I’m not in a great mood, I flash my brights at said tall-ass pickup trucks. Probably gonna get shot one day.
You think I have that much time in my life to list all of them!?
The one that pops into my head immediately is:
There is a special place in hell for people who don’t hug the curb when yielding to traffic before making a right hand turn. Instead they take up the half the through lane and half the turning lane, meaning that the person behind them can’t pull forward.
The jackass in the mcfatnolds oversized gasoline powered truck acting like his steering radius is somehow larger than a semi by refusing to rotate his steering wheel more than halfway
I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm. I feel very alone in this outrage. People are flying around in private fucking jets, and you want us all to take one for the team and suffer a shitty dribble of a shower every day. A generous hot shower is one of the few things that makes our lives far better than our great great grandparents. Taking out the flow restrictor is like having sex without a condom. A whole generation of suckers won’t even know what they’re missing.
I hate ordering a beer in a restaurant and it comes in a shaker pint (conical pint), which is usually a 13 oz pour. How can we have a government who verifies the measurement of fuel pumps, but not beer, when beer costs like 15x more than fuel. Fill lines are a simple, cheap, and good solution.
I hate metering lights. For those who don’t know they’re stoplights on the on-ramp to an interstate highway. Waste of fuel, don’t help with traffic.
I really hate advertisements. It seems the more I block them, the more offensive they are when one gets through.
I’m with you on the shower heads. I rip out the flow restrictors before I even install one.
I just measured my showers. I was thinking it would be over 3 gpm but my downstairs is 2.6, and upstairs is 2.25. Pretty modest actually. My guess is that they’re designed for the national standard of 2.5 gpm without a restrictor. It just makes me so mad to squeeze simple pleasures from the poor through regulation. People are miserable enough for fucks sake, if they can afford a $0.50 shower let them enjoy 10 minutes of the day.
I really hate advertisements. It seems the more I block them, the more offensive they are when one gets through.
Bruh YouTube ads feel like I was called every slur ever made and pissed on by Hitler when my premium expired. Before then, an ad was just another ad.
YouTube ads start playing on mobile YouTube and I recoil in disgust, “like fucking hell you do!”, and swiftly retreat to ReVanced
YouTube is pretty bad. If I’m watching a video at 1.5x, it remembers this setting for the next video, so the same courtesy should apply to the ads. Avoidable in a web browser for now, eventually I’ll just have to youtube-dl anything I want to watch.
I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm
never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)
I remember that thing I hate: Ice cream melting faster than your consumption speed. Aaaaarrrrrrrgghhhh I hate it!
Sounds like you need an ice cream eating partner.
I volunteer as tribute
I like your solution. I accept
Cars. They ruin cities.
True true. Cars are outdated, fast reliable frequent 24/7 public transport is the future. Also not random
People who subscribe to the whole male power struggle culture. Not just in a political sense; people will say things about respect or posturing etc. and it physically disgusts me to be reminded that people live like that.

The sound of flip flops. Drives me up a wall!
People who use their turn signal AS THEY’RE TURNING. You asshole! You’re supposed to do it a bit before you turn to let people know your intent. There’s no point in signaling as you’re turning because I CAN SEE YOU TURNING! Fuck!
And usually all the cars around them had to wait six years because they weren’t aware of the upcoming turn (busy intersections).
So generally I use turn signals correctly. But there are a few times I don’t for particular reasons.
If I am sitting at the rightmost lane at a busy intersection and intend to turn right, I honestly tend to not turn on my right turn signal. The ambiguity of whether or not I’m turning or going straight helps keep assholes behind me from honking at me. I’ve found that an unfortunately large amount of people get impatient when someone in front of them is turning right on red onto a busy road. They honk and act like assholes because they want you to dangerously jump into traffic and not wait for a clearing so they can go sooner.
I know I could turn on my turn signal and just let an an asshole lay on their horn, but honestly I really truly prefer to avoid that.
Happens all the time yeah.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO CARE WHAT THE FUCK IM WEARING!
It’s more that you’re not wearing anything…
- TikTok.
- Short form videos.
- Tutorials in a 10 minute video format. Just give me a list of instructions I can skim to find the thing I’m looking for.
- Influencers and “content creators”. Please get cancer and die.
- YouTube after 2011 or so
- Monetization of platforms
- The way software development evolved from a highly praised skill to being regarded as nothing more than a fleshbased code printer for creating more shareholder value
- How the art scene is now mostly relying on social media exposure and followers
- so, Actually most of the modern internet.
- The lie that you can become rich and succesful by working hard and putting in the hours
I can go on for quite a while. Millenial disillusionment is real.
Can I just copy and paste this as my answer?
You’re talking about Gen Z trends.
Millennials are pretty well aware that they are fucked unless they were born lucky, we’re all just wallowing silently in our depression while wishing we could afford a house.
Billionaires.
Audio messages, I hate them with a passion. Sometimes I just refuse to listen to them. Can’t search them for info, and why tf do you assume I can just stop my day to listen to this shit I don’t have my goddamn headphones connected all the time, and I’m not about to put the phone to my ear for a full 5 minutes and no talk looking like a goddamn weirdo.
I had a boss who would send audio messages constantly. I’d be having a conversation with him, he’d get a text message on his phone, stop talking to me to mess with this phone, do a voice recording, mess it up cause he’d whisper it so others wouldn’t hear him (we still totally could), repeat it, rinse and repeat until he got it right, send it, then would ask me what we were talking about.
I’m convinced people who use voice messages have no situational awareness and are potentially psychopaths
I just ignore them completely. They don’t exist for me. Depending who it is, I can say “I didn’t have time to listen to it but next time if you text/message I can probably get back to it faster.”
put the phone to my ear
Clearly you would look more normal if you blast it on the speaker while holding the phone in front of you, like everyone else. /s
It’s so inconsiderate too. If you want to use your voice then use voice-to-text and send a text message.
Someone does this in a group chat I’m in, it drives me crazy.
I used to be in a group chat of just voice notes.
I’m not a hater but I understand the sentiment. I only exchange audio with very few people I feel comfortable with we both want to listen to our shit for that long, and I never expect a quick reply.
Randoms or new acquaintances sending audios without asking permission first usually annoy me.
I’ll make one exception for audio messages: the other person being in a situation where they cannot easily type the message, but it’s not an emergency. Hands full, driving, inclement weather, etc. I take it as an implicit “this message is important, but not drop-everything-else critical.”
“Hate” is a strong word, but I very much dislike it when a website that I can access on my computer only allows phone users to actually use it, or when certain features of a website are hidden for desktop users but available for phone users, such as Instagram Stories. I just don’t agree with desktop/laptop users being restricted or offered the barebones version of a website considering that the internet has existed long before smartphones were a thing.
The aspect ratio! With some hard work and intensive empathy training I got over the vertical format being default, but when someone uploads a horizontal video to a vertical format site, and then you’re trying to bring it to full screen on your also horizontal monitor… I could headbutt the monitor in.
I counted pixels once. It took up less than 10% of the display area. Just a fucking thick black (EDIT: or non-video regardless) “border” on 90+% of the monitor. And why? Because of one dipshit deciding they will consider horizontal screens nonexistent (while it’s closer to natural, human vision). I can’t even blame the uploader, sometimes they don’t even know this use case isn’t even handled.
And vice versa: sites that will render fine on a PC, but refuse to load on mobile and direct you to an app instead, or have fewer features than the full site available.
I’m with you on the one about Instagram. I’m a hobbyist photographer trying to maintain a decent portfolio and it grinds my gears that in order to publish a collab post for example, I have to do it from the app on my phone.
Or vice versa. Why can’t I access features in the phone version of my banking site, but I can in the desktop version on my phone? Now why, if you have two versions, can I not even access both from my phone or computer?
