• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

People who think you are available 24/7 just because you have a smartphone. Please...no I'm not.
It's the opposite for me. I don't get calls from people regularly. My inner circle of friends is very small. So when people do call me, I sometimes don't have my phone on me. When I return the call or see these people in person, they ask why I didn't pick up. I tell them that people don't generally go out of their way to call me, so I don't keep my phone on me at all times.

This is me too! I don't even keep my ringer/vibrate on because I find it distracting. That said, I'll miss calls due to that but it's fine. I'll get the message eventually.
 
- people trying to be quirky, or the “i’m not like other girls” girls

- someone trying to use their christianity as an excuse for their problematic beliefs

- the person who constantly bashes everything you like

- that one person who just wont shut up

- slow internet, self-explanatory
 
Third act break ups. Any kind. Ya know them, when the main group splits up, often due to some stupid misunderstanding. That always grinds my gears.

And then there’s what I call “one of us-ing.” It’s a nephew trope to the third act breakup, but much MUCH worse. Somehow, one character has some sort of misunderstanding, and then EVERYONE ostracizes them until some heroic moment, where all is forgiven. I named this after the song “one of us” in Lion King II, where a bunch of stuck-up animals sing about how kovu is some baby-eating traitorous monster despite them barely knowing the dude, all because the villainess made a claim that could’ve been disproven quickly. Maybe it’s just me, but it really irritated me. Thankfully I’ve only seen it elsewhere in a couple of fanfics.
 
OHHHHHHHHH BOY, here we go. I've got a ton of them.

- when people hide things from me thinking they're doing me a favor (you can't hide forever....... like..)

- although I don't drive, I detest when people turn on their blinker/directional literally AS THEY ARE TAKING THE TURN!?!?!? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF USING IT THEN? ok... i..

- when I'll politely tell my brother to stop talking because I'm not listening but the second I tell him that he just picks up right where he left off (like bruh do you not.. well okay you cant help it i get it, i'll let it slide. once.)

- when I tell someone 'no' to a question like 'want to watch (show)?' or 'will you watch this tiktok video?' and they literally go 'WHY?!?!?!?! WHYYYY?!?!?!' until i say yes. please take no as a valid answer bc i might dropkick you if u dont..

- I get incredibly frustrated when people do not know the difference between 'their, there, + they're' OR 'too + to' OR 'effect + affect' or.. ok the list goes on but I'm so picky with grammar and even spelling ... I did not win the spelling bee in the 5th grade to be done dirty like this,,

- *cleans glasses* ... two minutes later my dog will jump on me and their nose will smudge my lenses<3 hate that.

- when my stepbrother turns my light on and off constantly for literally no good reason. i'll be in the middle of writing something down and he'll just turn my light off<3 pls turn it back on! he'll turn it back on and i'll go 'thank you!' and he turns it off right after. then turns it back on. then back off. then back on. then back off. and then i just get up and turn it on myself. my light switch is located outside of my bedroom so like.. it isnt a lamp lol

- when my mom's bf gets mad at my older brother for having a meltdown and bc he called him a name.. 'DONT CALL NAMES!! *proceeds to call my brother a name as well*' why r u mad then if ur doing the exact same thing?!?!?!!?!?!?!???????????????????????????????? what? what? what? waht? wafesrdfsdfcsjdf!?

Probably a lot more that I can't think of but yea this is the majority of them, I'd say.​

That last one sounds like hecc, sorry to hear that happens

well all of them sound like heck but you know what I mean
 
People who eat like pigs, close your damn mouths.

People who use their forks, and knifes like they're trying to eat the plate itself, that noise instantly gives me a headache, the noise gives me physical pain.

Mushrooms, they're almost more disgusting than insects.
 
Oml spiders spiders spiders

Pictures of spiders
Daddy long legs and the fact they're called that
People telling me to kill a spider myself or stop spraying so much spray at it
People who underestimate my fear of bugs
Bees (and wasps)
Bee flies by the pool? Either I get out or cower in fear behind someone or something
Wasp flies by? Scream.
Bee TOUCHES ME?!? Freaked out for the day.
Also if I see a cockroach and somebody breathes next to me, it's the end of the world.

long story short, the existence of bees, cockroaches ,wasps and spiders
 
This will sound really stupid, but I hate hearing anyone speak when I'm in the middle of day dreaming.
This happens to me all the time. They’ll keep talking to me and showing me things, and I want to yell “go away I’m busy!”
 
being interrupted/talked over - my parents do this to me a lot and it’s literally the most frustrating thing. like i’ll be in the middle of a sentence and my father will literally go “excuse me” and start talking about something else like sir?????
 
It annoys me a bit when people write or say "I could care less." It's couldn't. Saying you could care less still means you care somewhat. I feel like the incorrect way of saying it has caught on more than the correct way.
