You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

Cell phones are another case. A friend of mine was grilled pretty hard by a border agent for not having a cell phone. The guy didn't believe him, because of course, everyone has a phone nowadays, you must be hiding something
I get this about social networks, esp giving I do have a single page to repost a specific site links to (to get bonuses)...that is virtually empty otherwise. So suuure I must have a "real" page hidden.

Ditto. People drill me sometimes for not having a Snapchat, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, Facebook, whatever when I do events. Because clearly it's not allowed to just be fun to do neat shit with your friends and for your community. Apparently no one is allowed to do anything that looks fun for any other purpose than taking photos for clicks and internet attention. My BFF does the same thing I do but more, and she might have made a Twitter account by now just to get terminally online normies to stop screeching at her. It pisses me off that so many people only do anything just to take photos and videos of it for the internet and project that mindset onto absolutely everyone. Maybe they'd have more actual fun and understand the appeal of staying away from shit like IG if they just did their fun activities in stead of doing nothing but posing for photos while only worrying about appearing to be having a good time.

so i’m hella quick at stop signs right. i don’t do the stop and wait 3 seconds thing because in 99% of circumstances the other person stopped will see that as letting them go first. so as of late i thought hm maybe i should ease on the rolling stops. so today i did just that. didn’t even wait the full 3 seconds. stopped and right when i was making my turn this fucking old bitch who can barely see above the steering wheel pulls out in front of me.

why is it that these old mfs don’t drive above 10mph when they’re in front of me but once i’m trying to make MY turn cause i got the right of way suddenly they got somewhere to be

eg; "Oh, it's that dance from World of Warcraft!" says some millennial upon seeing easily one of the most legendary stage dances in a Michael Jackson video.
dude that always used to piss me off so fucking much. like when people would recognize a song “from” a movie or something like great now i have to associate this song with a fucking movie and it’s ruined for me. i’ve never listened to movie soundtracks on their own idk why but i always found it kinda cringe/gay
 
Tourist drivers who don't check where they are going or are in the wrong lane and just decide to cut across to an exit. What was meant to be a routine drive today that I have done hundreds of times without issue turned into a massive headache when a rental car filled with 5 tourists smashed me side on because they couldn't stick to their lane as it went around the bend and decided to cut into mine because they missed an exit nor did they check before they went.

It was their front bumper to the side of my car because whoops, we are in the wrong lane, better cut across instead of taking the missed exit and figuring out another way. Even said they were trying to go the same way I was going...both lanes filter to the same place, so why are you suddenly cutting into mine at such an angle to hit me side on with the front of your car and not following the road unless you actually were cutting to the exit. Don't lie when it's really obvious what you were doing.

People have insulted me with, "What, you're living like the 1960's!" because how dare I not have their Lord and Savior Snapchat/Instagram/TikTok

An Indian in a chatroom straight up told me, "FUCK YOU" for the grave sin of not having Facebook (I had it very briefly before deactivation)
I once had a Twitter because a friend begged me, got blocked by her. Made a second one years later. Got suspended and never looked back.

I lived in a place with a road with 2 right turn lanes. The rightmost lane ended up going straight to the freeway, the second one was freeway optional. Nearly every time I got in the leftmost right turn lane the person in the right lane would try and merge into the side of my car either in the turn or right after as they didn't actually want to get on the freeway. They even had fancy painted lines telling people to stay in their fucking lane. I usually enjoyed it though as I got to make sure my horn worked and then out accelerate them so they had to merge in behind me anyway.
 
I hate this faggot so much it's unreal.

It actually kind of bothers me how much of a Pavlovian anger response I have to his idiot cartoon face.

It's perfectly understandable.

The way it was for me, I'm in a left hand drive country, it's a 4 lane road. Road goes around a bend, then splits off. Far left and centre left lanes go up a hill. Far right and center right lanes bend inwards and goes to the right. I'm in the far left lane. Now, just before the bend, there is a clearly marked exit with dotted lines that goes straight. If you are in the far left lane, you are assumed to be following the bend to go up the hill unless you indicate that you are taking the exit.

I want to go up the hill, Follow the bend, see this car in the side mirror in the centre left lane that seems to be following the bend, but the angle is off, they aren't turning their wheel and following the bend, and I get hit on the driver side passenger door. Then later they tell me they wanted to go up the hill like I was...so why are you a) not following the bend or b) changing lanes without looking. You are in a lane that will take you up the hill.

Thankfully where I am in Euroland, whenever you get into an accident, they have these traffic enforcement people who you have to call, and they will sort it out, write the report, and then hand you a ticket that you can give to your insurance. Basically there as a neutral 3rd party who will look at the accident and each side telling their version of events, and then assess if someone is lying or not. He backed me up over the 5 tourists.
 
Celebs famous for their screen acting voicing animation. I'll find myself wondering why the voices are so bland and then see the star-studded voice credits.

I'm tired of celebrity culture and I don't care if Will Smith voices a fish.
 
I have several things I would love to rant about in this thread, but I think they would end up being too political and I would also derail the thread too much. Plus, I've already subjected you guys to awful whiny rants before so I won't do that again. In summary, I've had some IRL encounters that have left me pissed off and bitter. It includes people from different walks of life from both sides of the political aisle too. I'll leave it at that.

It's well known at this stage, but social media 'highlight reels' are the epitome of cancer.

Girl I dated years back had a female friend who did a European tour, solo. About 8 countries, two/three days a piece to fit her holiday allowance. Her Instagram was plastered with happy-go-lucky photos of her at various landmarks, shots of bubble tea in sundry cafes, and token 'take girl selfie here' pop-up shots.

I spoke to her some weeks after her return, having been to many of the same countries myself. She couldn't tell me a single thing of meaning about any of the countries she visited. Just pure checkbox shit, nothing gained, nothing won.

That is 99% of people.
 
I hate that “content babies” are a thing. Influencers and wannabe influencers who have a baby as a new storyline to exploit.

The baby hits a certain age or the reality of a newborn sets in and the mom behaves like the child is an inconvenience instead of a human soul they chose to bring into the world. Babies deserve their parent’s attention and not getting it sets them up for emotional issues later.

Even worse, the YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer who adopted a special needs boy from China and got rid of him. They called it “rehoming” him like he’s a pitbull. Not before cursing him by naming him something better suited for a dog - Huxley.

It got worse: they posted video evidence of them abusing him, then an apology video that stated that they returned him to another family (like you said, as if he were a pitbull puppy) where the child was given proper treatment and care
However: YouTube's wrath was on them with multiple videos documenting Myka and James' stupidity/douchebaggery.
