We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:
- People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
- Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
- People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.
I work with doctors who are probably the most well educated people in the world, and I have lost esteem of their intellect for several of them for an assortment of reasons, largely COVID related:
- Asked me how to spell tax, born English speaking.
- A neurosurgeon who cuts into people’s brains routinely barely got the required vaccinations for COVID to stay employed, and assured me children don’t need COVID vaccines because they are immune, tried to work mask free long before mandates were lifted, and grabbed my hand and shook it during a lockdown point where we were all decidedly not touching each other.
- Assured me I didn’t need any more COVID vaccines beyond the two. I have had nine.
- Assured me I didn’t need to wear an N95 during Delta.
- Spelled God Gaud.
- Wildly incorrect diagnosis where he should have known better.
- They mostly don’t respect trans people, most doctors don’t.
- Said his patients are all nuts.
- Cheap as dirt and highly ungrateful for the people that work for them.
- Has a violent case of BPD and was so abusive she was dismissed.
- Tried to murder his ex.
- Beat his ex.
- Did murder his ex.
- Borrowed money from patients twice, sexually abused his patients twice, lost license thankfully.
- Would be kicking the wall in the OR if she got angry instead of tending to her patient under anesthesia.
Also nurses. Why are so many nurses so shitty? Even beyond the antivax ones, I know nurses who would steal insulin to euthanize animals at home (which is NOT humane), nurses who said about a suicide victim “Well she got what she wanted”, nurses who showed me pictures in the act of threesomes, nurses who stole anesthesia meds for sleeping, nurses who ended up in relationships with patients, and nurse managers who I’m quite convinced were sociopaths, who told one of the clerks that she was a body at a desk and easily replaced.
I realize we’re all human but fuck it’s awful how many of them are perfect idiots.
The trope in movies where everyone drops their guns and does everything a psychopathic murderer says, because he is holding a gun to someone else’s head. Congratulations, you just got that person and yourselves killed. He’s not going to suddenly have a change of heart and become reasonable just because you dropped your only means of defending yourself against him.
I want to find the man who put sound effects in Microsoft Minesweeper, whenever that happened? When it went from grey Windows 95 looking to the blue background and the smiley face disappeared. I want to find the guy who put those sound effects in the game, and I want to hand plane his scrotum off and then send him home with nothing holding his testicles on but his fruit of the looms.
Here’s a really small one: when one of my toenails has a sharp corner to it that snags on the sheets.
And socks…
Ugh… It is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me
Mouse cord getting caught on things. Makes me want to yank it forcefully.
People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk away.
People who leave their shopping carts in random spots in the parking lot.
People that drive 20 under the speed limit in the left lane.

I’ve been thinking about writing to the police chief, my politicians, and possibly starting a grass roots campaign in my area to get police to start enforcing impeding the flow of traffic laws. It’s infuriating how much of my time gets wasted by obvious, slow-ass drivers.
People who act like they are blind to others in the supermarket. Not making space for others, blocking us with their trolley etc. It’s not a museum.
For some reason it bothers me greatly when people talk about the number 2 being special because “it’s the only even prime number”. Like of course, that’s literally how they are defined. It’s like saying “did you know 3 is the only prime number divisible by 3?”
Sand and lack of oil.
Smart ass replies aside, if I’m low on sleep, anything - and I do mean anything - has the potencial to grind my gears.
Sand and lack of oil.
Or a worn clutch?
Soap or shampoo that smell like (and better than) food. Why??
One time many years ago, the hair conditioner I was using smelled so delicious that I just had to have a curious taste to see what it was like. Disappointing to say the least lol. Yes, I was old enough to know better…I was not a small child when I did this lol
username checks out :P
may i introduce you to
I would expect that to actually make you smell worse. Like the scent of a gamer who hasn’t showered all weekend so you can blend in with the rest of your friend group but you’re actually an avid gardener.
Boy do I have another flavour for you.
People who don’t return their cart to the cart corral in the grocery store parking lot
Neighbors running their leaf blowers for hours and super early or late in the day
When those little plastic things on the end of your shoelaces fall off.
Aglets. You can buy replacement aglets if it really bothers you.
People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.
Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.
