pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

When I make burgers or sandwiches for myself, I don't like going crazy with ingredients. For example, all I need is a single slice of yellow cheese, some ham or hard salami and mayonnaise on a sandwich. Simple and satisfying!

Then I got someone telling me, "Why don't you add other things too omg???"

No thanks, I like to keep it simple.

Then they say, "Oh.... Well, I guess you don't like flavor" 🫤

......

Basically, when people act like they know your own taste buds better than you do.
 
The amount of gatekeeping when it comes to nostalgia, especially 90s nostalgia. It's almost as if anyone who wasn't born yet or born later on in a decade isn't allowed to enjoy anything from said decade. Not to mention these kinds of people will brag about how they were born in the early/mid/late 80s-early 90s, so they got to experience most of, if not all of the 90s.

Like, congratulations! You popped out of your mother's womb in 1989, which means you were alive for pretty much the entire 90s! You want a gold medal or something? 😑

It's not like everything in the 90s just magically disappeared the second the 90s ended, and people who were born in the 2000s or later like myself can still enjoy stuff, despite not being born yet or being way too young to experience it.

^This, even though my DOB is the example year. lol
This especially goes for most of those that are a bit older than me. Talking about you Reddit and other places where some of these people crawl.
 
Clothes shopping can be a nightmare sometimes. Considering that I'm slightly overweight not to mention I have a large chest and big butt, I feel like clothes shopping for me can be somewhat difficult. For example, when I go to a store or an online website/app to shop for clothes, 9 times out of 10, I'm gonna find some shirt, skirt, dress, or pair of pants/shorts that are either:

A. not my size
B. don't fit my style
C. really expensive

I especially find it difficult to shop for jeans. Because jeans sizes have zero consistency, I basically have to play Russian roulette when it comes to finding the "right" sized jeans. Jeans sizes can vary especially when it comes to brands. And the worst part about jeans is not knowing whether or not you need to size up or size down depending on the brand of jeans you're thinking about buying. I might as well just stop buying jeans and stick with bottoms that I feel more comfortable wearing (cargo pants, skorts, leggings, that kind of stuff).

I agree! Like how am I a size 2 in one store, but a 7 in another, and then an 11 in another? Women's jeans (I'm assuming you're talking about women's) need to follow the same method that men's jeans do. List sizes by waist x leg. It would solve so many problems.
 
People who leave empty containers or boxes around and not disposing them properly.
Especially, people who take the last thing out of a box and don't bother to throw it out.

People who don't use earphones in public.

Yesterday I was on the train and a guy a few seats away was watching anime without earphones with the volume up loud - he only thought to turn it down a little when the soundtrack played. Then on the return journey I was sat next to a girl watching TikTok videos without earphones, again loudly. Enjoy whatever media you want when out and about, but please be considerate of other people!
 
Whenever people they’re say “bed rotting” or “rotting in bed” etc. Just say you’re laying around or whatever. Maybe I’m too sensitive but the “rotting” sounds gross.
 
I’ll never like the assumption that not going to college automatically makes you dumb. Maybe I’m not interested it, or maybe I want to find a job that doesn’t require it. Either way, I don’t owe anyone an explanation for why I chose not to go.

I also hate the other type of nostalgia gatekeepers where people can't feel nostalgic for something because it's only a couple of years old. Like uh, hello?! Something doesn't need to at least be a decade old for people to start feeling nostalgic for it.

In school people have their phones on at max volume and it's infuriating when you're trying to pay attention.
 
When people confuse and mix up the terms antisocial and asocial. Here the actual definitions for both terms from the first pages of Google because that is litterally bare minimum research people should do.

Many schools that I attended had this saying that 'If you witness bullying and don't do anything, you are now part of the issue'.

I understand that this is a push to have bystanders take action. The issue is that there are way too many schools with staff who do not care. This has to be fixed before you push the students into solving the issue. The best thing a student can do is tell an adult. but the adult has to care.

As someone who was left alone to defend myself against a senior in highschool with his friends yelling at him to 'beat me up'. I protected myself. I got blamed almost immediately by a staff member who didn't feel like actually looking into the situation.
 
when people touch my things without my permission. i get it if you don't know how i feel about that, but if you know how much a germaphobe i am and how meticulous i am about my stuff to keep it clean and in mint condition, then why do you still refuse to listen? its MY stuff. why are you in MY room grabbing MY things to hand to your little children to play with? then they go and break it, i have to go hide in a corner and cry about it because it held sentimental value to me, and you try to tell me "they're just a kid its not a big deal" ???? buy it for them then? why are you touching things that aren't yours without the owners permission? then you wonder why your kids are so entitled to everything, and why the next time they come over my house they go in my room while im not there, grab something from my desk, and destroy it. they never want to buy a replacement for you either despite being at fault. i cant count how many of our consoles, controllers, games, collectibles, etc have been constantly destroyed by children over the years and their parents don't care at all, and then we're the ones having to spend hundreds of dollars to buy replacements. we can never show how angry we are too because they're just children, but when they leave we're so pissed. aghhh :>

THIS 100% THIS! The amount of times I had to share my stuff with my siblings, only to have them destroy it not long after. Then when I would cry or complain to my parents, I'd be told that "they didn't mean to" as if I was the evil one for getting mad at a kid. It's no wonder I don't want people touching my stuff. Nobody has respect for other people's things. I wish more people would offer to rebuy said thing their kid/pet/etc broke. But no, it's up to me to replace my things that I didn't break. Angers me to no end.
 
I get frustrated when a meme gets popular and I can’t figure out where it’s from. There’s this gif on Twitter going around (from a movie or show) of a woman dragging another woman by the leg down a hallway? (There’s dramatic music, too.) I’ve been searching and searching, and can’t find where it’s from.
 
this is kinda dumb, but I hate when people go into a roundabout and turn on their turn signal. like, you don't need to do that my dude lol, just drive into the roundabout and go wherever you're going.

speaking of roundabouts, I also hate when people stop before entering a roundabout even if no one is coming. like they don't know how a yield sign works lol.

one more thing, and I've had this happen multiple times since my path to work includes quite a few of these. when I'm in a roundabout and I have the right of way, and someone almost runs into me because they didn't yield!! just decided to keep on driving like I don't even exist.

like, people, please learn how to use a roundabout properly, thank you 😂
