pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

[Neb]

I hate how U.S. TV shows and movies are so fixated on specific places. Whenever I see yet another sitcom set in L.A. or New York City I groan. I know that many writers are based in those cities, but it gets boring after a while. How about a drama set in Minnesota or a comedy in Belize? I could name dozens of settings that are scarcely used in western entertainment.

I have the same gripe with anime and manga. Nearly everything is either in Tokyo or Kyoto. I’d love to see more series set in Kyushu, Hokkaido, and especially Sado.

People eating and chewing loudly or with their mouth open. I just can't stand it. Also when people stand in the middle of halls or stores when you're trying to get past them. It's the worst because I've had times where I have politely asked them to move and they just ignore me.

Might have posted it before, but tea hipsters. Like I get people don't like/can't drink coffee or stuff but so many making tea drinking to be a trait and can't wait to mention how/when/where they drink tea it's like... okay couldn't care less but enjoy your tea? Lol.

(yes there are coffee hipsters too probably but I don't really come across them that often in comparison).

My favourite is when they load up their tea with crazy amounts of sugar. Like you clearly don't like tea so stop drinking it. (Same goes with coffee drinkers who do the same thing).

The tiniest of scratch on my watch faces. Others say I can't even notice it without really looking, but I know it's there.

Exactly, LOL. It's, like, okay to dislike either and you don't need to drink them either if you don't want to. Some people smh lol.

When watching UK soaps, don't know if this happens in other soaps in the world. For example, when 2 characters are having an affair and they said they are going to tell their partners. Then they say to their partner, I've got something to tell you, advert break, then they back out and make it it was nothing important.
Another one is when someone asks about a situation they reply with 'It's complicated'

This is the most unethical thing I’ve seen people do:

I used to work at a 7-Eleven. My coworkers would take pictures of literally every customer’s receipts by using the reprint option on the register and redeeming their points on cash back apps like Fetch. It was so unethical and it pissed me off. They tried to get me involved and tried to peer pressure me into it by saying “You’re the only one who doesn’t do it.” Well, maybe I just find it extremely wrong to do?

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Peer pressure into doing unethical things.

Absolutely! I just sweated and worked hard on the assembly line all day at work, if I want to come home and ship a fictional pairing, I will ship said fictional pairing.

My other favourite thing is when they're so much younger than you. I'd never let a kid tell me what to do irl so why am I doing it online?

yeah, i dont see the point of anyone caring what other people enjoy if its not causing harm. if its not for you, its not for you but who cares how other people live. just seems unnecessarily petty/mean

Yeah. Also people who get "grossed out" by eg. fujoshi people or whatever. Like let them enjoy their fantasies, you don't need to read or interact with them, lol.

Yeah, teens dictating the world on the internet is the best lolol.

A lot of people don't understand the concept of closing tabs. Nowadays everyone has to 'correct' everyone.

This so much.

And they don't understand you don't have to be on social media for communities either, lol.

RIGHT! I've actually quit social media communities. Too much petty nonsense for a hobby that's supposed to be fun. I do search for art and fics but forget talking to other fans about headcanons, ships, and opinions.

- People who don't care about others at all. That's basically the summation of all my posts in this thread, lol.

Yeah I'd say most social media is obnoxious, be it LGBTQ+, climate etc. or just fanfictions. It's like, people close tabs and don't be so passive-aggressive. Not everyone is from the US/Canada and thinks 100% alike, lol.

People who say "it's summer, what else do you expect?" when the UK is about to potentially hit 40 degrees on Monday thanks to man made climate change.

Yeah and we don't get any heat like that up north in Sweden either. Maybe around +30 C and stuff in the shadows on a great week but yeah no extreme heats here.
