pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

[Snap Crackle Pop]

When someone tries to embarrass me in front of others, or when someone brings up something I said to them in private and they bring it up in front of others to make me also feel embarrassed. Then when I bring it up I am made to feel like its no big deal but I do not like being put on the spot.

when people ask you to do a favor for them and you don't do it the exact way they want to and they react negatively. should've done it by yourself in the first place, now no more favors for you

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

When people avoid/ignore you because they're mad at you, instead of just confronting you about the problem. It's immature and nothing gets solved.

Mfs who preach "body positivity" and then proceed to body shame people. So much for body positivity.

Spam emails

Also, when your phone begs you to set up features that you don’t want to use.

That new song “APT.” I only listened to the sample in iTunes and it’s still stuck in my head. My apologies to everyone who enjoys it, but the vibes aren’t vibing.

Generalizing a whole group of people.

Dehumanization/demonization of people.

Refusal to acknowledge diversity in literally everything exists, and it doesn't mean your island is being attacked just because someone shares the name of thier island.

I'm tired of the Burger King rap commercials.

I hate it when I get a sudden paywall while using an application without knowing it was there ahead of time because the app's description didn't say anything about it. True story: it happened to me while I was using a .webp to .png converter that was a browser extension.

This character is either impatient with everything or this is just terrible writing (I know I shouldn't judge, but it feels that way).

Context, there's this book that I bought recently and the character in the story seems to be impatient for almost everything because of the way it's written (along with other errors and grammar I seen so far).

"I'm going to the mall" I said impatiently. Even though there was nothing that indicated that they were getting annoyed at something. This wasn't written in the book, but I wouldn't be surprised if such a line exists.
Also this is a traditionally published book, not an indie.

Maybe I'm just not in this book's age group. I tend to read YA to get a grip on how those books are usually written like, don't want my teen characters talking like they are already 30. lol

When I miss a day of school and have to catch up on everything it's really annoying, since I usually don't study unless there's an important exam, and I soak up the information during class and don't have to do anything. I wish I could have the concentration to sit down and learn stuff on my own, but I'm too accustomed to not studying and coasting through school (I do have good grades though, it's not like I'm barely passing) with just remembering what was said last class.

Sometimes it’s awkward to pee in a public bathroom, even though that’s what it’s there for.

My pet peeve is when someone is explaining something to me that I already know about.

Yeah, this "impatiently" thing really annoys me too. Also when the characters always smirk. There was this one fanfiction I read where basically every dialogue section was described with "they smirked".

I keep finding videos of youtube chefs adding chicken and lamb to "traditional" Bolognese.

When people spoil things. I think that's a given.
But  specifically a friend of mine and a friend of friends do this thing where when I ask them not to continue posting spoilers, or to spoiler tag stuff, they start ELABORATING ON THE SPOILER.

They post or say something that eludes to a spoiler and when I say "please don't do that or spoiler tag it" theyre like, "Its not that big of a deal its just ______" and SPOIL IT MORE??

It happened with last year's Pokemon Presents and I'm so afraid of it happening this year. Luckily I have time to actually get up at 6am to watch the dang thing but last year I didn't. I was going to school. I was VERY busy last Pokemon Day and had the ZA announcement ruined for me.
It's also ruined me having fun playing FFXIV cause I was LOVING the game but my friend kept just saying things that hadn't happened yet and when I would tell him to stop he would either elaborate or rush me to do the content faster. Now I can't play the game with friends (which is how I like to play it) without being afraid he's gonna enter the call and start being annoying.

I get that there's leak culture for video games but I don't want to participate in it. I think seeing reveals is part of the experience. If it wasn't, they'd just give us a word document every time they want us to know something new.
Same with playing games. I'm playing the game for the experience of playing the game. Let me play at the pace I enjoy and let me discover things as they happen and put pieces together on my own.

Spoiling things is never cool. Okay I get off my soapbox now

Like all of us, I get insecure about my appearance sometimes. I have a slightly rounder face and, while I don’t mind discussions about beauty standards, I don’t like when face shape/type is brought up. I also hate whenever people make fun of someone with a round face, bc I’m like…?! Girl, I’m right here!

(I will say though, I’m doing A LOT better than when I was younger and thought I was fat and looked like a man.)

It’s interesting bc I’m attracted to a lot of people who don’t fit traditional beauty standards, yet sometimes I feel like I have to look a certain way. Double standards at their finest…!

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

When people don't flush the toilet when they're done with it. Like... Why?

 

[SkyKnight03]

Bragging about having never watched a popular show is weird to me.

like...it's your loss.

I've truly enjoyed certain mainstream shows.

People who use their phones while "watching" TV. My step-mom does this all the time, and it's frustrating. Then when I tell her I want to watch a show/play on the Switch, she responds with, "But I'm using the TV!" whilst watching TikTok on her phone... I also had a friend who did this whenever I would invite her over to watch a movie. :|
