As my mom beautifully puts it : "I'm racist against idiots"
Alcohol Weed Lactose
Yeah Iβm no fun.
Lactose
People
It's true. I've been getting back into religion just to pray that God makes humanity extinct.
"Instead of heaven on earth, they made heaven in hell"
People being rude to customer facing employees.
Chocolate! I have no idea why but if I eat more than a small bar of chocolate in a short time span I get this tingling sensation in my mouth, forehead and temples. It's not painful or anything just very weird and I've had it all my life. I've been tested for an allergy to chocolate and it came back negative!
People unable to pick up sarcasm through text.
People who think theyβre an island. I donβt know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and theyβre part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesnβt matter if itβs stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.
Starch. This limits what I can eat. Unfortunately I didn't know this growing up, so I ate a pretty carb heavy diet which caused health issues which caused me to be grouchy a lot. Took until I nearly 40 to figure out that I wasn't just an unstable asshole.
_Everything _ for some reason I am super sensitive to drugs of nearly any kind
Weed
People who micromanage, either directed at me or someone else
Wood in my mouth; I struggle with popsicle sticks and chopsticks as a result.
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
Coffee :(
The "virus wombo combo" of mono and COVID fucked a lot of things up permanently, but most of them have rebounded to an acceptable state. Whenever I drink coffee it fucks me up, even decaf coffee. Makes me feel tired as hell, stressed, overstimulated. It also seems to last for almost a full day. Drink coffee in the morning, and I have a big chance of sleeping badly.
Not that it's guaranteed to hold me back...
Every now and then the sane part of my brain forgets to pay attention and my coffee craving gets the better of me.
Do other cafinated drinks have the same effect?
Not nearly as bad, if at all. I drink a lot of tea on work days (probably over a liter) and have never had issues with that. I don't regularly drink energy drink or cola etc, but he times that I had them also didn't have the same effect.
While caffeine also doesn't necessarily make my body happy, I do think that there's something else that upsets my body when drinking coffee. Maybe something to do with dehydration or histamine intolerance. Idk.
Edit: hmmm but apparently black tea and green tea are also high in histamine and I drink a lot of that. It remains a mystery
Hmm, interesting, that is indeed quite a mystery.
Intolerance.
Thanks karl popper.
People misusing words
Misusing them in what weigh? Like using an uncorrect word? Or using a word that has a different consternation than the one they meant to use?
Expanding the meaning of a word
For example, naming every person with a authoritarian ideology a nazi
Careful, they might call you a nazi for saying that
Bigotry
Hypocrisy
milk
Cars in cities.
You don't realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.
I don't need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.
AI
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
I have a nearly fully blocked nose, always have. As such I canβt really breathe through my nose at all (also my sense of smell is nearly nonexistent). I still eat with my mouth closed. It does take me a while longer though, since I basically need to stop eating in order to breathe. But Iβd rather do that than the alternative, because I agree with you, chewing with your mouth open is disgusting and disrespectful.
Arrogance
People who lack self discipline.
Bullying, weather it is physical, intellectual or emotional...it just grinds my gears.
Tequila, takes very little compared to other spirits to make me nauseous.
