Centrism, fence-sitting, or like we say where i live "ser un tibio de mierda". If you're gonna believe something, do it fully and own up to it.
Not trying to contact people when they leave, they need contact unless they explicitly say they need time
It's a real problem, but I hate filler words. "Um uh hmm" just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It's at a level where I've seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn't really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it's so hard.
That's sad to hear, especially since filler words are a vital part of our language
Parents refusing to notice their children's needs
Dithering... Shit or get off the pot.
People accusing me when I'm not the one responsible
Incompetence
Bullshit
Not being on time. Having enough going on, I don't want to waste my time waiting for someone.
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can't stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you're going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
This one drives me up the Fucking Wallβ’, because how difficult is it to spend 2 seconds letting people know through text that you're not going? it's so inconsiderate and immature.
I used to do this when I felt unwelcome (I actually was). Maybe you could make sure your friends know you really would like them to come
Oh they definitely do know they are welcome, but I appreciate the advice!
If they do that more than a few times Iβm not inviting them anymore
Agreed! Having to manage that with the TTRPG group I run right now. Cutting it close.
Lies and deceit.
I feel like I'm being played for a fool by not telling me the truth and wanting to sugar coat it or something. I can't stand it whoever it comes from, be it a stranger or my own mother.
Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just donβt care at all.
I once had a date where the guy threw a candy's wrapper to the floor while we were on the way to his house and went "oops π" as if it was funny or cute. I wish i would've picked it up when he didn't notice and hide it in his house.

car horn sounds and girls voice specially screeming
For f@%ing everything these days...
Passive aggressive emoji usage
Yeah okay dude π you have such a great point ππ€π

Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
Incoherence, and it's particuarly bad when I realize i'm being incoherent
Exercise. In my case it's so bad that "sitting upright" counts as exercise. Or "watching something slightly intellectually stimulating". I basically live 24/7 in bed. Haven't showered in months. I look forward to the next day my wife shaves off my ugly ass dirty greasy hair.
are you ok
My illness is chronic but my tits are iconic!
So, uh, no, I'm not ok. I'm glad I live in a country with a somewhat working social safety net and I'm lucky to have a loving wife who can take care of me.
Ive been through a fraction of this, and I can only imagine how not nice it must be to be debilitated like this.
I wish you the best for the illness, and congratulations for the tits.
Inconsideration. Drives me absolutely crazy.
Stupid things like being at work, someone uses the last of something and just leaves the empty box and tells no one that we're out. To me that says "fuck you, someone else can clean this. I got what I need, the person who needs it next can say we need more."
Try to get a quick lunch, sit down to eat, asshole in corner listening to tiktok at full volume, imagine murdering this pos through the entire meal.
His name is Lou and he drives me insane...
The full volume is annoying enough, but shit like tiktok is like listening to someone change the channel every 5 seconds... And at full volume...

Intolerance.
For me it's this, and the Dutch.
How paradoxical.
No it isn't. Tolerance is a social contract; if you don't abide by it you don't get to be protected by it. Simple as.
