Often portrayed in fiction, highly likely happens IRL as well.

Comes off as disrespectful. You meet someone new, and then immediately tell them how you would feel about them IF they happened to be an asshole?

Well, nice to meet you too. Unfortunately I do not have any comparable prejudices to share right now about you.

I was raised in the US and Mexican-Americans get so much hate in Mexico for "wanting to be American so bad"

You cannot say anything good about the country because "why are you defending the gringos? you think you're American too?"

Like wtf, yes? I am American? why is this concept so hard to understand in Mexico?

As an animal lover and a veterinarian who has worked with animals ranging from fish to elephants.

Animals are just as evil as we are. Nature is brutal, greedy, rapey, and constantly torturing others for their own benefit.

Also they don’t just kill for food. Dogs absolutely love squeaky toys because that’s the sound of rodents dying.

The only reason humans are destroying the world is because we are more powerful than any animal and nobody can stop us except for natural forces like volcanoes and earthquakes. Diseases also keep us down but we have cured a lot of them. We broke the game and we are basically running on cheat codes. The balance is broken because nobody can keep us in check.

Any other animal would have done the same if they were put in our position. The only reason they don’t, is because they can’t.

The only reason nature seems peaceful, balanced, and harmonious from the outside is because all the death and destruction is hidden away and recycled back into the ecosystem. The entire system of evolution relies on the weak being culled and only leaving the strong. Cancer and chronic diseases are not a problem in nature because they just get killed by a predator, then a younger animal replaces them. The illusion of health and harmony is built on blood.

Wild animals constantly live in PTSD, prey animals literally die when they are too stressed.

Only domesticated animals live such blissful lives.

If humans didn’t exist, another species would eventually dominate the world and commit the same crimes. Some animals are better than others, for example bonobos would be less violent than chimps, but in general the world is a violent and a cruel place where the weak is eaten alive, females are raped, babies are basically chicken nuggets, and anything you do to promote your self-interest is good.

The only difference is that humans feel guilt, although some don’t.

I love animals for what they are. Yet it’s still our responsibility to protect them and the ecosystem.

I'm the only person I've ever met who cares about this, so it's the epitome of a pet peeve.

I know "fyoosha" is the only pronunciation recognised in dictionaries. But it's wrong!

It presumably comes from someone at some point misreading "chs" as "sch" which would be pronounced "sh" in German. But the letters are in the other order, "chs" should sound like "ks". If you're ok with "fyoosha" you're not in a position to criticise anyone for pronouncing "ask" as "aks"!

Fuchsia is named after someone called Leonhart Fuchs. It's common in botany to name plants after someone's surname + "ia", e.g.

- Anders Dahl + "ia" = dahlia

- Pierre Magnol + "ia" = magnolia

The German name Fuchs rhymes with "books", so Fuchsia should rhyme with "books-ia". It's meant to honour a man called Fuchs, not Fyoosh.

There is literally nothing more annoying than taking a break to eat, only to realize you've got a front-row live audience watching your every single bite. It instantly kills the vibe, makes you hyper-aware of everything you're doing, and turns a simple lunch break into an awkward staring contest.

​You shouldn't have to literally crawl into the depths of the abyss and hide just to get some basic privacy. People really need to mind their own business and look away.

Why are you making me look like a beggar because I asked for my OWN MONEY.

What is the point of this? It’s okay to want things I don’t need. If they want to be minimalist anti consumerism that’s great, but they don’t need to make these comments about things I already own. It comes off as a weird superiority complex.

This is essentially what happens:

1. You gain on a slower vehicle. (This can happen even when you’re going the speed limit because a lot of people seem to think it’s okay to drive at about half the speed limit or less.)

2. You get over into the passing lane (left).

3. You start to pass them.

4. Someone starts gaining on you in the same lane (the passing/left lane)… because there is always someone who has to go faster.

5. You pass the slower vehicle in the right lane, but you don’t get over immediately because proper safety etiquette involves making sure it’s safe to get over, and basically seeing the vehicle in the other lane clearly out of your mirrors before getting back over in front of them.

6. The vehicle gaining on you in the passing/left lane gets close enough to you for their behavior to be considered tailgating, and they immediately start to swerve over into the right lane when they are barely a single car space ahead of the vehicle that is driving slower than both of you.

I promise you… nothing is that serious. In any situation (emergency or not), you can wait a few extra seconds (barely even that) to give someone else in the passing lane a chance to get back over. They are watching you, they are watching the other vehicle, and they are using their mirrors; more often than not, they do intend to get back over into the right lane. This reckless behavior is unacceptable, and it doesn’t matter what your circumstances are.

Some people don’t just jump back over; they wait until there’s a safe space between their vehicle and the other one that they passed. If you paid attention during your driving test, you would know that. Most of the time, the people who gain on a passing vehicle and abruptly swerve in front of another one in the right lane aren’t even using their turn signals.

"I hateeee when people do that!" The E is silent. The vowel you are extending is the A. Consider "I haaaate when people do that!" In English, multiple Es create a long E pronounciation, i.e. HAY-tee.

"I'm homeee!" vs. "I'm hooome!" HOME-ee

"That truck is bigggg" vs. "biiiig!"

Etc.

Yes, there are situations where holding a grudge is silly like with minor disagreements or a misunderstanding. However, in situations involving trauma and harm to others, you cannot expect someone to forgive. For example, with the discourse surrounding Christa Pike, I’ve seen some people saying the family of the victim should forgive her or that they’re wrong to hate her. She brutally murdered someone’s daughter, so the family of the victim doesn’t owe her forgiveness, and they have every right to feel how they do about her. 

There was another time where my friend’s ex cheated on him and her friend and sister were both texting him that he needs to find it in his heart to forgive her shortly after the break up. The situation was fresh and he was hurt, and rather than giving him space she had people close to her demand that he forgive her, even though it’s his right to end the relationship. 

Actions have consequences, and if you cause someone a great deal of hurt or trauma, bridges being burned or never being forgiven is just a cross you have to bear. Telling someone that they must forgive a person who caused them hurt or trauma is essentially telling them how to feel, which generally no one’s place to do.

I work in retail and parents come in all the time and try to outsource their parenting to me:

“Ok Bubby you broke this, now this nice gentlemen is going to charge you for it and it’s coming out of YOUR allowance!”

child crying loud and obnoxiously

“Ma’am I’m not charging you for this item. I’m just an employee here and I have no stake in this at all. I’m going to damage it out per procedure it’s really not a big deal”

“No. My child broke it and he needs to be taught that you need to be careful so he’s paying for this..” as they have to raise their voice so I can hear them over the crying child…

Look I’m not charging your child for a broken item, I’m not going to tell them that it’s expensive so they shouldn’t buy it, I’m not going to (this one is my favorite) tell them if they keep throwing a tantrum that they can’t buy an item they want, hell as much as it annoys me I’m not going to tell them to stop running around the store… control your child. Parent your child.

Bonus points if their “child” is barely younger than me, like smh

“My 17 year old son has a bedtime of 8:00. Everything he does on his phone is monitored by me. I don’t let him out of the house without me present. I don’t let him watch TV, and if I do, he gets 30 minutes a day and that’s it. I make him do chores around the house 24/7 and he has no social life. So why doesn’t he like me? Am I failing as a parent?”

Seriously? Are you fucking for real?

an immigrant is someone relocating to another country with the intention of staying permanently/long term

an expat is someone moving to another country temporarily e.g. studies, job assignment etc.

i usually see white immigrants called expats all the time and it is so frustrating. no. you are an immigrant.

The S stands for Standard Time. If we're not on Standard Time, then don't tell me a meeting is at 2pm EST, when it's actually at 2pm EDT.

Seriously? Are you so god damn vacuous that you can't form your own opinion? You have to have the hivemind formulate one and spoon-feed it to you? Get a fucking personality, learn to think for yourself.

Rowan Atkinson is alive. Anything you see saying otherwise today, is a hoax.

I opened my phone this morning, and the first SM notification I got was a grayscale picture of comedian Rowan Atkinson with the caption of his birth year to 2026, and the caption is a list of his accomplishments, and the very bottom of the caption... says happy birthday

I'm pretty sure the only reason this showed up in my notifications is because the picture and caption was click bait.

This nonsense is not funny! 😡

These people have family and friends too.

It's completely inconsiderate to spread fake unfounded death announcements about people, just for the clicks.

I know people do anything for clicks, but it's truly disgusting !

In my opinion fake death announcements is among the worst of the worst low hanging fruits to drive traffic to your channel.

I hateeee when people (specifically Americans, but then again I’ve only gotten this response from Americans) give me this response to me saying “chai tea.”

I would like to clarify that yes, I understand chai MEANS tea in many other languages. However, in the English language, we already have a word for tea, so therefore chai refers to the specific type. This is pretty obvious to me and I don’t think I should need to explain it. I think most people understand this, YET some people still feel the need to respond with this “fun fact” every time someone says it. At this point I think everyone who’s ever been on the internet has heard this phrase repeated to death, so I promise you don’t need to give me this whole spiel every time “chai tea” is said.

TL;DR: chai has its own meaning as a specific tea in the US at the very least, and I believe it’s the same for other majority English speaking countries (correct me if I’m wrong.) Saying Chai tea is fine.

ON A SIMILAR NOTE:

Let me preface this: I’m a barista, I do not care at all if you say latte or caffe latte. I won’t police your language. HOWEVER, there is a certain subset of people (smaller than the chai tea people but still present nonetheless) who get snobby about people who say “latte” instead of caffe latte. Again these people are usually American, not Italian; the Italians are fine lol.

Yes, latte = milk in Italy, but in English we have a word for milk!!! Do not get mad at me for saying latte because it has its own meaning here. In Italian you have to specify caffe latte because again, latte is just milk, but there’s no reason to do that in English and you are an obnoxious snob for trying to “correct” anyone who says latte, at least in America. In Italy that’s fair game, but I’ve seen this happen one too many times.

TL;DR: latte = milk in Italian so specifying caffe latte is necessary in Italy. We already have a word for milk in English, and latte is widely understood at the correct term for the espresso based beverage, so do not correct someone who says latte with “you’re just saying milk/it’s caffe latte”

It's so annoying when you ask a question or mention something and someone launches into a detailed explanation you definitely don't need. Like when I ask if they've seen a specific movie and they start telling me the entire plot. I'm just looking for a yes or no. You don't need to give me a Wikipedia entry. Just assume I have some basic understanding.

I don’t know why but it’s always irked me for some reason haha. It feels awkward. Stop staring at me man. The YouTuber Anthony Vincent, although a singer not a guitarist, does this too much. Just stares into your soul.

I don't like it when a vampire starts drinking from a human but stops after a few seconds and just throws the human away like an empty soda can. Feels like a waste of food to me if the human ended up dead anyway

People that can’t follow the most basic instructions make me insane. I mean very simple, clear and concise instructions.

I work at a sand pit, trucks need to drive in, get loaded, pull up to the window to get their ticket, and leave. That’s a it.. that’s the whole situation. I have very large signs on my window that say
“DO NOT EXIT YOUR TRUCK
1) GO LOAD
2) PULL UP TO WINDOW”
The amount of idiots that will park in the middle of the drive, that other trucks are trying to get into, and walk up to my window is absolutely astounding. Once they get to the window I don’t open it right away, I give them time to read the very large signs that are eye level with them, since they apparently couldn’t from their truck, they still will knock on the window. Just as bad, before you enter the pit, there’s a large metal sign with the company name and address, the amount of delivery drivers that come here, which is the wrong location, mind-boggling. I have a second sign on the door to my building that says “WE DO NOT ACCEPT DELIVERIES AT THIS LOCATION, YOU’RE AT THE WRONG ADDRESS” they’re still going to knock on my door and ask.

Just found this sub, nice to have a venting place!

Can be applied to anything really.

If you instruct me to alter something (wording, attire, mannerisms etc.) Or insist that something needs to happen.

And I ask you for the reasoning and you respond with 'because' or 'because you have to'..

Please wholeheartedly understand that 'because' isn't a reason and I won't be doing it, or I will go back and forth with you until i've extracted the (usually petty) reason behind it.

Or at the very least, I can make random requests to you to change whatever I decide just because.

The most aggravating scenario is in a workplace when the because is used in place of an actual reason that is usually unprofessional, exclusionary or straight up illegal.

How would a screaming baby at 3am solve anything? All you’re doing is bringing a child into a dysfunctional relationship, where they could end up being blamed for problems they never caused.

No respect whatsoever, people will do absolutely anything for a few sympathy likes on social media

In pasta.

It's such a hassle to remove them why are they there? I get it for shrimp cocktail but I'm not picking up this saucy shrimp with my fingers.
