Inconsideration. Drives me absolutely crazy.
Stupid things like being at work, someone uses the last of something and just leaves the empty box and tells no one that we're out. To me that says "fuck you, someone else can clean this. I got what I need, the person who needs it next can say we need more."
Try to get a quick lunch, sit down to eat, asshole in corner listening to tiktok at full volume, imagine murdering this pos through the entire meal.
His name is Lou and he drives me insane...
The full volume is annoying enough, but shit like tiktok is like listening to someone change the channel every 5 seconds... And at full volume...
Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just donβt care at all.
Intolerance.
For me it's this, and the Dutch.
How paradoxical.
No it isn't. Tolerance is a social contract; if you don't abide by it you don't get to be protected by it. Simple as.
Just riffing on a popular concept. I totally agree.
Cars in cities.
You don't realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.
I don't need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
At this point, everything.
Hear you there!
People who think theyβre an island. I donβt know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and theyβre part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesnβt matter if itβs stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can't stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you're going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
If they do that more than a few times Iβm not inviting them anymore

Exercise. In my case it's so bad that "sitting upright" counts as exercise. Or "watching something slightly intellectually stimulating". I basically live 24/7 in bed. Haven't showered in months. I look forward to the next day my wife shaves off my ugly ass dirty greasy hair.
Bullying, weather it is physical, intellectual or emotional...it just grinds my gears.
People who call putting an ipad in front of their kid "parenting".
People being rude to customer facing employees.
People accusing me when I'm not the one responsible
Bullshit
Wood in my mouth; I struggle with popsicle sticks and chopsticks as a result.
Arrogance
Coffee :(
The "virus wombo combo" of mono and COVID fucked a lot of things up permanently, but most of them have rebounded to an acceptable state. Whenever I drink coffee it fucks me up, even decaf coffee. Makes me feel tired as hell, stressed, overstimulated. It also seems to last for almost a full day. Drink coffee in the morning, and I have a big chance of sleeping badly.
Not that it's guaranteed to hold me back...
Every now and then the sane part of my brain forgets to pay attention and my coffee craving gets the better of me.
People who micromanage, either directed at me or someone else
Tequila, takes very little compared to other spirits to make me nauseous.
People misusing words
Misusing them in what weigh? Like using an uncorrect word? Or using a word that has a different consternation than the one they meant to use?
Not being on time. Having enough going on, I don't want to waste my time waiting for someone.

Chocolate! I have no idea why but if I eat more than a small bar of chocolate in a short time span I get this tingling sensation in my mouth, forehead and temples. It's not painful or anything just very weird and I've had it all my life. I've been tested for an allergy to chocolate and it came back negative!
