Its been said thousands of times before, but TDS. You'll be having a totally innocuous conversation and out of nowhere some mouthbreather will bring up trump and work themselves into a tizzy over it. Then they look at you like you're insane if you dare say "I don't think trump is the cause of the Australian housing market issues, or the state of Netflix original movies". It's like it infects their brain and they go rabid.
People who live vicariously. I see it all the time mostly in social media, how people are pretending so hard they give a shit about the world about them. About how children are being fucked with. How the elderly get mistreated. Trying to find empathy at the comfort behind their keyboards, it's probably very easy for them to care from afar with their empty comments and their half-witted reactions.
See it all the time in court case videos, arrest videos .etc where people are definitely thinning those strings very hard to pretend they know righteous justice. How can we not be sure that these same people in all walks are of two-minds about what they've seen? I would put winning bets that they probably had a chuckle or two or had thoughts like "glad that shit isn't me, I mean fuck".
When I’m driving slowly through apparently heavy traffic, then there’s a curve or uphill portion in the road that lets me very clearly see we’re all just slowly crawling behind the leading car who has a completely open road ahead and is simply choosing to go 20 under the speed limit.
Also, Twitter screenshots of people writing funny replies to posts — the reply is always at the top so I see the punchline followed by the setup. I don’t understand how they’ve kept it this way all these years.
The semantics around these new hands-free device only laws. Recently my town has cracked down on it due to so many retards using their phone and driving now. But what is actually "hands free"? You cant use your radio without pushing buttons, hence using your hands. That isnt considered a violation. Using your phone in your hand is a violation, but putting it in a holder by your steering wheel and using it isnt a violation? Can I hit my vape while i drive, or is it not hands free because i have to hold it and it has a screen? Heres the elephant, the fucking laptops in cop cars. How is that considered hands free in any sense? If its not, then you cant say police are above certain laws- thats exactly what it is.
I HATE SOFTWARE UPDATES! I HATE SOFTWARE UPDATES! I FUCKING HATE SOFTWARE UPDATES! >Oh I'll just send this email real quick
VPN: "oh hai, we're ready to update! We'll just leave this little (!) dot over our icon to drive you mad until you do!" >fine... I guess it's important for the glowies not to know I'm sending this email...
Password Manager: "Time for an update champ, we'll do a little balloon popup every 5 minutes until you do it. Oh and 50-50 odds we'll require you to close every application. No, you won't be able to restore things normally, hope you remember to save bitch." >remain calm... remain calm... remain calm... Firefox updated yesterday, everything should be fine after this... FF: "Are you sure about that? I guess we had a fucky wucky with yesterday's update. Don't worry about annoying reminders because we don't need them. Every single website on the Internet is going to be hopelessly broken for you until you do!"

You know cats who start panicking the second they are left alone? Wild cat outside spawned kittens who are like this, and then got adopted when they grew up. If one of those retards loses sight of others, they start Search Meowing. I keep waking up to this shit. Despite being a cat person, I want these buggers to go straight to hell.
People with a severe lack of hygiene awareness. Just witnessed some maintenance nigger in the break room, opening pizza box lids and touching slices of pizza which i guess was for her taking, theres a lot so no issue. While she had gloves on and I assume she had touched things prior. She is touching dirty trash bins with the same gloves on and I assume she will touch things she shouldn't.
Fucking. Gross. Guess I have to touch the boxes three boxes away just to be safe.
Trying to look up a kanji that I don't know using IME Pad.
For those who have never used IME Pad, it's basically a tool distributed by Microsoft so that you can write in chink languages. This is all well and good, but what if you don't know what you're looking at? Well, you have a few options: Hand Writing, Search by stroke count, and Search by Radical.
Writing them down with Hand Writing Tool works about 75% of the time. Sometimes it just boils down to knowing how many strokes a radical uses, so it may take a few retries, but for other kanji, it just can't seem to produce the result I'm looking for.
Search by stroke count is basically worthless. It just takes every kanji ever that takes X-number of strokes to write down and places them all in a giant clusterfuck. Let's say that the kanji you're looking for has 11 strokes. You pretty much have to scan every single kanji line-by-line like you're playing a really shitty version of "Where's Waldo?" until you find the one you're after. Yes, I had to expand the window to get every single 11-stroke kanji. Good luck finding the one you're looking for.
That leaves us with the final option: Search by Radical. For those who don't know how kanji works, the symbols are constructed using building blocks known as "radicals." Basically, it's kanji within kanji, if that makes sense. So for example, "Forest" (森) is built using three "Tree" (木) radicals, while "Rest" (休) is built using "Person" (人) leaning up against a "Tree." Now, this is all well and good so far. When I'm looking for a particular kanji I don't know, I can scan it for it's constituent radicals to try to narrow down my search so I can find my kanji.
So what's the problem? Well quite simply it's that you can only filter by one radical ever. So even if you know that something like 間 built out of "Gate" (門) and "Sun" (日), you can't filter through both to narrow it down, which just loops back into the previous problem of trying to scan through every kanji that has a particular radical in it. The only thing that kind of helps is knowing that the kanji are sorted by stroke-count, but that only gets you in the general neighborhood so you still have to scan line-by-line, kanji-by-kanji.
And the worst part is that even if you painstakingly scan through every single kanji when filtering by a radical, it's not even fucking there. I searched for a good twenty minutes as I was typing up this hypothetical to find the 間 kanji by filtering by 日, and it's not fucking there. Seriously, give this a shot to see if you can find it. You won't.
Now, granted, I could just filter by 門 to find it quite easily, but my point is that not only should this issue not fucking exist, but the system could be improved dramatically. If I could just filter by multiple radicals, it would make my life so much fucking easier.
I swear sports fandoms have the most toxic retards on the internet. I've had people argue objective stats with me and when my response is to post a screenshot of the stats, the guy reported it and the mods removed it.

I had something similar happen on facebook. Sometimes youll get those random posts from accounts you dont follow right? Well this one was about gas prices, so you can imagine the orgy of stupidity in the comments. There was one particular one along the lines of "this is so high because of *insert president here*". I decided to, in the best neutral tone over text i could, explain to him how gas prices are affected by much more than just the president and what they are doing in this particular term. Had screenshots and everything but i realize after about a day, my comment was deleted. Its funny to me these boomers all want to declare that the people in the world are getting dumber but cant handle being proven wrong by said dumb people.
Tangentially similar one: when my Tablet decides to go back its homepage when I'm in the middle of a session (uploading a video, doing online work etc.). It might be an overprotective Android thing, but I dunno. I regularly clear my cache *shrug*.
I just found THIS gem, though:
Why? Why now? It's been, what, let's just narrow it down to British and American owned West Indian and African lands, blah-blah-blah... 60, to 90, to 170 years?
And of course some Death to Homosexuals World Leader, the Ghanaian one, would get involved, too. Cocksucker... Rabble rousers like these always get involved in "good causes". Hates White Imperialism, allegedly, but loves the money from a century of those connections... Aaand RELAX.
I have a physical kanji dictionary held together with duct tape that always got the job done better and faster than any denshijisho but that was 20 years ago and I'm sad to see that newer tech seems to still be retarded.
A game I liked as a kid is coming back and I forgot how cucked the community was, they're bad at the game, but they're cheering about EB Games selling sealed starter decks for $80, they were like $15 and the old cards aren't even supposed to be valid for the revival. I know scalper prices could be worse, but the decks were a mediocre product when they were released, you were hoping for an Ultra Rare.
I remember getting like 10 tins for Christmas one year, I got like nothing. I bought a few boxes for clearance prices and that's when I got most of my rarer cards, power creep was awful and it was a very expensive game.
I went to a baby convention yesterday and my god, it was depressing. Beyond the insane expense of the most mundane items ($25 for 1 bib, get real), there was a complete lack of fun or colour in anything. Mobiles being sold that were entirely grey or muted pastel green to match the minimalist aesthetic of your home. What ever happened to colourful fun? Has it become suddenly illegal for babies to have blues, yellows and reds? Even worse, those mundane mobiles were the only toy I actually came across, but there was 3 seperate baby skincare booths. Who needs to play and develop your sense when you fucking moisturise instead. Fuck me.

Sounds like you were an ESL teacher in Japan. I'm just some self-taught JSL weeaboo who occasionally plays games in Japanese or translates web comics to himself or to some online friends for fun (Example found here).
Also, I barely touched upon it, but the hand-writing recognition in IME Pad is bad. Let's take "Woman" (女) for example. Only three strokes, shouldn't be too hard, right?
Here are three different attempts to get it to show up. As you can see, it failed. Now, I'm no expert or anything, but I know enough that stroke-count and stroke-order is important, yet for some reason, this thing is suggesting kanji that have waaaaay more strokes than "Woman." Hell, it even managed to find "Rape" (姦) which is literally made of "Women," but the actual kanji for "Woman" is nowhere to be seen!

Dude it all started for me when I found out Final Fantasy 3 was not, in fact, FF 3 and that there was a whole bunch of Final Fantasy games to play that at the time had no foreseeable future of being localized.
I have to laugh as I'm now playing the Pixel Remasters in order with my kids.
It's amazing to me that what ended up being a life changing decision started with wanting to play the actual Final Fantasy 2, which I never did ha ha ha. I mean, I downloaded the ROM and got tired after translating like, two lines of text.
