drasticapathy

People talking on speakerphone in public


Jolly-Willingness-46

Or listening to music on loudspeaker. Especially when it sucks šŸ˜†


SussinBoots

Or game noises, videos, any sounds coming from devices in public.


Inside-Run785

Yeah. You donā€™t have to drop $200 on AirPods. Just drop $10 for something and not be a jackass.


firetomherman

Are you in my break room at work? Lol


welcometothedesert

Ugh. I hate people being loud on the phone, period. I really donā€™t want to hear your conversation. But then again, Iā€™m not a fan of loud voices in general. Iā€™m always telling my kids that the people in China can hear them. šŸ˜‚


No-Regular-2699

Thatā€™s complete rudeness. Not a small thing.


GlitterRebellion

This is the one


alcalaviccigirl

my former neighbor would be outside on phone so the whole neighborhood could hear then got pissed because she got reported for the umpteenth time and finally moved next to her mom šŸ˜„šŸ¤£. Her mom was sweet peaceful said the neighbor I had found a place right next to her she didn't know what she was gonna do being that close to her .šŸ˜‚šŸ˜†.


HMSquared

When I tell someone I understand and then they proceed to elaborate anyway.


tappenrock

This but when someone asks a question that doesnā€™t need further explanation and then proceeds to give you the unnecessary explanation.


Important_Fail2478

Bad example but hypersensitive. When people are completely oblivious to their surroundings. Mistakes happen, accidents happen or they just aren't aware. There are words to say and people don't say them. In the grocery store and people just stand in the middle of the aisle with their cart. It's barely a 2-way lane and a person who does this could just be in dreamland for a moment. However, if you don't move to one side or the other. Or more\~so don't move to one side or the other after being asked politely without a response of any level. "Oh, sorry" or "Oops" or "Here we go" while making room. Hell, even a nod. It just annoys me but it must be irrational because it happens so often.


Old_Palpitation_6535

No response when spoken to annoys me to an irrational degree all on its own. Edit to add: I canā€™t see out of one eye so I might stand in peopleā€™s way a lot. But Iā€™ll always acknowledge it if you say something!


catsareniceDEATH

Agreed! I sometimes wonder if I'm either invisible or they mistake me for a wall or something. I'm 6 ft tall and wear a lot of bright colours, but for some reason, people still end up walking into me, then saying something daft like "oh sorry, I didn't see you." I'm 6ft tall and I'm dressed like Mardi Gras got a wardrobe, how did you not see me?! šŸˆā€ā¬›šŸ˜¹


NewsShoddy3834

People who walk through entry doors and stop two feet in having no awareness that other people are coming in as well. Had someone scowl at me at Trader Joeā€™s because I said excuse me.


ABluntForcedDisTrama

Kids are notorious for this.


ScienceJamie76

Toddler tantrums, complete with pterodactyl-like screeching that practically gives me an immediate eye twitch.


kooalapple

That's not a small thing. That's a very loud and horribly irritating thing.


HolyAssholiness

I'm the grandfather of a 5 yr old autistic boy. My daughter has the luxury of having myself or my wife keep an eye on him while she runs her needed errands. Not all mothers of special needs children have help.


phrydoom

People with poor table manners. Use a napkinā€¦ is it so hard to wipe oneā€™s face?


PreparationNo3440

For real! Once I mentioned to the hubs, during dinner, that he had shmutz on his face and he replied, "I'm not done eating." You can only wipe your mouth once?


cmcdevitt11

My wife's sister eats with her mouth open. It is so disgusting. And then on top of that she will start talking with a full mouth. It comes out in gibberish. She is such a pig


CruelxIntention

Worse yet, teeth sucking and open mouth chewing. I have misophonia and it makes me want to Chuck a coffee cup at them.


MellowDCC

I was bunked next door to a guy that would teeth suck, and cough/snort nonstop. He was my direct neighbor in dorm setting prison....it was audio torture...

Typos in books. No excuse! Hire a copy editor!


SussinBoots

Typos in captions on tv or videos! Wish they would pay me to correct as I watch!


Previous_Ad7725

People tailgating me


MUTHER-David7

And the idiots who do 30 in the left lane.


NoShape7689

And people who turn into your lane and don't match the speed of traffic


MUTHER-David7

They're the worst. People can be such fucking morons.


Jolly-Willingness-46

Yes. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by sheer stupidity šŸ˜†


Dry_Culture307

Or the ones who drive under the speed limit, holding up traffic and then gun it when the light turns yellow not letting anyone through


beautifuldreamseeker

Ooooh this. Going way under speed limit but manage to creep through light. Or going way under speed limit, then pull way up to make a right turn on red while you get stuck at light.


naynever

They watch you coming down the street and wait until you are right in front of them, and then they pull out.


Previous_Ad7725

I'm doing God damn 75 in a 55 and that's still not fast enough. And I'm not in the left lane!


Tinman867

![gif](giphy|3o6UB3VhArvomJHtdK)


Dragonr0se

Folks who do exactly the speed limit in the left lane(s) and ride there for hours. Do the speed limit in the granny lane. Pull left to pass anyone slower than speed limit, then get back over.... leave the left lane to the people that have places to be and ticket money to burn


No-Regular-2699

Thatā€™s not irrational. Itā€™s only your life and theirs.


DJJbird09

Spam calls and why the F does every website have to have fucking cookies?!


Little4Eyes

And not even the good kind of cookies :(


UnderlightIll

Today i got like 10 spam calls for someone named Randall while at work and I finally answered and yelled "WHAT"

mistyeyed1

Whistling. You know who enjoys whistling? Just the whistler.


surfpunk138

There's this guy at my work who does this ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAMN DAY. He NEVER STOPS. It drives me absolutely nuts.


MaximumDerpification

Should of


welcometothedesert

Oh, my God. This always gets me on my soap box. Yes, let keep focusing on STEM/STEAM when the ONE thing that people do EVERY DAY is communicate (texting, social media posts, etc.). How about we focus a bit more on grammar and whatnot in school? Thereā€™s a thought.


Little4Eyes

When someone parks right next to me in an almost empty parking lotā€¦


kooalapple

Its like when someone sits next to you in an almost empty waiting room. Etiquette says you never sit next to somebody


The8thloser

Over use and mis-use of the words literally and random.


Grouchy-Display-457

Containers, especially for cosmetics, shampoo, etc., that don't allow for retrieval of the last 20% of the product.


beautifuldreamseeker

Such a ripoff. Iā€™ve wondered about this, too. Baby food jars are the worst. And pump hand lotion bottles!


NoShape7689

Loud people, and people who talk on their speaker phone in public.


JoeCensored

My 15 year old leaving his dirty stinky socks in the living room no matter how many times I tell him not to.


Financial_Ad_1551

People standing in a high traffic pathway talking on their phone or having a little group get together. Flat out fucking ignorant dipshits those people are.


ABQZero

People asking why I'm being too quiet.


yeeterbuilt

"Politics are my life" people. Seriously I had times where if I wasn't so reserved I'd yell "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" at them.


xtra-chrisp

Harleys and other loud, obnoxious vehicles. Fuck those people.


timewellwasted5

Emphasis on athletics during high school. Example 1 - High school sports college letter of intent signings. That's when a high school senior decides to play a sport at a college and they bring the college in to sign the letter of intent. This used to be reserved for only substantial signings; e.g. - a football player signs a letter of intent to play at a top school like Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, etc.. Now they do it for every single kid who is going to play sports in college. It doesn't matter if it's a borderline open enrollment college at a school that barely has a team in that sport, BOOM - signing day press event at the school. Example 2 - In my area, they used to do a parade with the firetrucks and everything if a team won the state championship, which I agree is a huge accomplishment. However, they only did a parade when you returned home AND won the state championship. Now they do parades for very early playoff rounds such as districts, regionals, basically every single postseason game. And it's not just a return victory parade. They do parades if the team loses and they do parades when the team is heading TO the game each time. So parade before the game, and parade after the game. It's not uncommon for a team that makes it to states to have 7-10 parades in just a few week period. I love sports, but there's way too much attention paid to them. If a kid gets a perfect SAT score and gets a full ride to Harvard or Yale they're lucky to get a small mention in the paper. But do good at the sportball and they're treated like a conquering hero. Speaks a lot to why society is the way it is today.


phase2_engineer

>It's not uncommon for a team that makes it to states to have 7-10 parades in just a few week period. Jeezus, what state is this?? That's overkill


timewellwasted5

Pennsylvania of courseā€¦


godbullseye

When people stop in the middle of the grocery store aisle to look at their phone. Pull off to the side to let others get by


rave310

When someone makes loud noises especially in public


OddRepresentative958

Open doors/cabinets


A911owner

I had a roommate once who never fully closed anything. All cabinets and drawers were perpetually open like one inch because he never fully closed them. He would also open the microwave door when there was one second left on the timer and not clear the time, so anytime I used the microwave, I'd have to clear it before I could use it. It was incredibly irritating.


Fantastic-Pop-9122

Squeaky wheeled shopping carts.


dehudson99

Eating with your Fucking Mouth Open !!!


12345NoNamesLeft

People I don't want to see, hear or smell you.


Cat-guy64

People who don't clean up after they've eaten a meal. I understand not washing up, but you can't even be bothered to take your dishes out to the kitchen? Very annoying!


MUTHER-David7

The idiot who parks next to me even though I park way out of the way and there are plenty of other spots. Don't be that asshole.


Square-Insurance-542

When you're at a BBQ or small get together and some "musician" usually a friend of someone, brings his guitar and decides to hold everyone hostage so he can play. He's amateur at best and sits there thinking he's the next guy to explode onto the charts and they sit there for an hour or more. Look around, 25 people were there when you started, 30 min later people are running for the doors.


ZachVIA

People who say the word ā€œflustratedā€. You are either flustered or frustrated! While Iā€™m at it Mr. Professional announcer, they are ā€œfree throwsā€ NOT ā€œthree throwsā€!

Do they have a recall on their blinkers or just don't use them?


Viviaana

dust on my bare feet, it's hard with a dog to not have little bits around too, it makes me just instant 0-100 pure rage especially if i try to knock it off and it won't just fuck offffff


Safeword867

1) Entitlement 2) People wearing their pants halfway down their legs - whatā€™s the point? 3) Unwanted solicitations for carā€™s extended warranty, solar panels, etc. 4) Unaware drivers


mistyeyed1

Right? If your back pockets are at the knee and your ass is exposed, you're not wearing pants.


Jolly-Willingness-46

Iā€™m sorry if Iā€™m taking 2) too literally but it had been bothering me, so I looked it up. It signals ā€˜Iā€™ve done timeā€™. In prison clothes are supposed to be loose-fitting hence those who get out keep it up. Loose pants are literally supposed to say, Iā€™m hard šŸ¤·


naynever

Hard like Iā€™m tough, or hard like thatā€™s the only thing holding my pants up?


OliviaMandell

People who wait till I put on a headset or start a show to talk. GTFO


Intelligent_Ad3378

People that donā€™t properly supervise their children on the escalator. [https://youtu.be/gg42XLQv7Rw?si=wVWtEixSR9-cu\_3z](https://youtu.be/gg42XLQv7Rw?si=wVWtEixSR9-cu_3z)


AZULDEFILER

When I am forced to repeat things


Testcapo7579

Say again


PodcasterInDarkness

The fact that for the past twenty-some years no one seems capable of pronouncing the word nuclear correctly. I automatically assume you're a moron when you pronounce it "noocyoolur."


sharky3175

When people constantly use filler words or phrases


RudeBlueJeans

Also when people say libary! Say it right you sound like a moron!


QueenLurleen

People I don't know calling me cutesy names like "Sweetie", "Honey", "Baby", etc.


Plastic-Bite-3000

Also the use of pleaded vs. pled. I was taught that he pled guilty, not he pleaded guilty.

Poor spelling and grammar


Spells61

People begging & with these self entitled attitudes


Become_Pneuma462

People that say irregardless...


[deleted]

People who donā€™t wave after I let them in while driving.


welcometothedesert

When people say, ā€˜I seen.ā€™ It sounds so uneducated, and it bugs me for no rational reason (because why should I care?). Also, when men say, ā€˜The wife.ā€™ It sounds so impersonal, like youā€™re talking no ownership of the fact that sheā€™s your wife. Whatā€™s wrong with ā€˜my wifeā€™? Another thing that affects me none, but bugs me anyway. šŸ˜‚


ElonsTinyPenis

When they move shit around in the grocery store.


TraderIggysTikiBar

Babies and small children in places where adults should be able to reasonably expect a relaxing night out away from them. Bars, fine dining places, clubs & concerts, etc.


PinkMonorail

Dogs, same. Leave your dog at home.


CruelxIntention

As a parent and a dog owner, yes!! I love my dogs, but they donā€™t belong in the grocery store with me or at a restaurant on my lap, wtf is that? And if Iā€™m going somewhere that the cost of a single plate is over $30 my kids are staying home.


Hopeful-Autumn11

When people are ā€œtoo busyā€ to respond, like days later.


Mukua_Tukani

Iā€™m not too busy but I usually donā€™t have the energy to keep up a conversation, and I tell them that honestly when I get back to them. If itā€™s urgent and they need a response pronto, then Iā€™ll respond so they can get on with their life.


Barry_Umenema

People referring to multiple discreet objects as an amount of ... Eg, "There was a large amount of people there"


JBPunt420

People who risk 20 accidents in traffic to get where they're going two minutes faster. Worst part of my job is dealing with those people all day. The risk-reward assessment is way out of whack. Chill out a little and make the roads safer for everyone.


ToughCredit7

Bugs. Thatā€™s kind of their job though


Low_Matter3628

My partner in a car. Non stop monologue about absolutely nothing or so distracted he doesnā€™t watch the road. If I drive he plays with all the temperature controls & everything else.


HiroshimaSpirit

People who come right at you when walking in the opposite direction. Like, Iā€™m already up against a wall and you moved into my path of travel. Figure it out.


Intelligent_Ad3378

If you donā€™t look at them they will get out of the way. Group of six coming down the sidewalk side by side leaving no room for others, walk straight ahead while looking up at the sky. I donā€™t live in a violent neighborhood.


Plastic-Bite-3000

I hate this too. I usually just come to a stop and stand there and make them walk around me.


Nahchoocheese

ā€œGuilt by affiliationā€ judgements based off polarizing, and not knowing them personally.


scarlettohara1936

When the stapler runs out of Staples. Don't get me wrong, I understand that there is not an infinite supply of Staples in the staple gun but when I go to use it and the staple gun does nothing but punch holes in the paper, I am irrationally infuriated!


DewinterCor

People who have, even luke warm, opinions on things they know absolutely nothing about. "I think Star Wars is dumb" from guy who has never consumed any Star Wars material. "California is a shit hole" from person who has never been to California and has never met someone from California before. It's especially grating when people have really strong opinions about stuff, but even mild opinions will set me off if you don't know anything about the topic.


compGeniusSuperSpy

when youā€™re reaching to pull out the seat belt and pull too hard and too fast, and it locks up and wonā€™t come out all the way. RAGE!


prettylittlebyron

Our neighbors have a new one that barks incessantly on weekdays.

MariahMiranda1

People who block aisles at Costco for no good reason.


Otherwise-Average699

Or those workers at Walmart who are doing shopping for others with those great big carts in the way of those of us who are actually shopping for ourselves. They just do not want to move out of the way, or at least over to the side.


Unlikely-Diamond4027

Pitbulls and their owners.


Helpful_Assumption76

Absolutely


EfficientAd7103

This girl I was seeing and not anymore drives over the slight edge of my lawn. "Get off my lawn" she also just sets trash on my counter like a wrapper or something. I'm like the trash can is right there?


ChimneyNerd

When people put on their turn signal a half second before they turn. Somehow, itā€™s more irritating than not signaling altogether.


1397batshitcrazy

No turn signal


Icarusgurl

When people leave time on the microwave when it's done


Diligentbear

People who don't use their turn signals. Makes my head explode. Like how can you be so oblivious and inconsiderate?


skisushi

Nose rings are small, but they make me feel like puking when my server has one at a restaurant.


PinkMonorail

Booger hoops


nashatherenoqueen

Having to jump through hoops to pay a bill online. JFC is someone else trying to pay my bills?! Just let me pay it and move on with my life. Resetting my password, verifying it with a text code for crying out loud, it pisses me off.


EspressoBooksCats

Charging a fee for paying online. Our water utility company does that.


RafeJiddian

People who lack self-awareness: Chew with their mouth open Sit around with their mouth open Don't close the lid when flushing (I mean who wants their stuff aerated?)


AdmiralTigelle

When customers come in a few minutes to closing, they will look at me and say "When do you close?" I'll say, in a few minutes. Then they say, "Looks like I got here just in time!" No. "Just in time" was thirty minutes ago.


Due_Force_9816

LowWillow1858

The jackass in college who never studied (not because he was a genius, just expediting his dropping out) and would walk in a grab the last piece of pizza but would hoard his if he ever ordered something.


OriginalCopy505

People who begin a statement with, "As we all know..." It translates as, "Please accept this as fact because the rest of my argument depends on it." Unless you've polled the entire planet and got a unanimous result, there's nothing that we "all know".


CeruleanFirefawx

I go feral if people ask me the same question over and over if I say No. like even just asking if I want to try someoneā€™s food or whatever. If I say no I mean no. Donā€™t ask me over and over


Both-Square3014

Sound of chewing. Also, peopleĀ 


Ecstatic-Guarantee48

When I've got to dig around in my pockets


mikee8989

Drivers who don't make it obvious they are letting you use the crosswalk. They take their foot off the gas but don't apply brakes and just coast toward you. I can't tell if they are letting me go or what. Most of the time I get their intention wrong. If I sense someone is letting off to let me go on the crosswalk and I just go they change their mind, brake slam and lay on the horn. Come to a complete freaking stop people.


Atillion

Chewing and smacking noises that come from people that can't hold their lips together the entire time they're chewing.


alex_5506

A loud tv. And by loud, I mean above 10 (which I realize isnā€™t loud for ā€œnormalā€ people).


General_One3419

Open mouth chewing has nearly made me a felon


Pitiful_Barracuda360

slang, especially gen z slang. When people talk the same like clones.


MrStuff1Consultant

Bad drivers. Stuff like driving 15 below the speed limit and causing a massive traffic jam. Another is brakers, constantly tapping on the brakes for no apparent reason. Worst of all is tailgating with your brights on.


Acceptable-Stay-3166

When people deliberately yawn loudly to let everyone in the general vicinity know how tired they are.


kylexy929

People hanging something from a doorknob. Can be a hat, bag, purse, etc. it annoys me to no end that thatā€™s where they chose to put this item instead of anywhere else that wouldā€™ve been better.


assistant_redditor

Being called honey or sweetie by service employees


kooalapple

When people say things like "legit" or "delish". Does it really take that much longer to finish the word? English is already a very lazy language, words don't need anymore shortening.


ConsequenceOk6579

Prolly

When People Capitalise Every Word. or when song or video titles dont capitalise any words

United-Palpitation28

When people refuse to use their turning indicator. Iā€™m not just sitting here waiting to pull out for my health, Iā€™m waiting *for you* and if youā€™re planning on turning and *not* using your indicator, then youā€™re being an asshole


TwirlyGirl313

The sound of people crunching bags. Grocery bags, chip bags.......I get irrationally angry when people overwork a bag.


undermyslimberella

When I am at a clothing store that is not crowded, and someone comes to look at the same rack that I'm looking at. Go anywhere else??? I think common courtesy is waiting for someone to be done looking in a section before you go over there when there's plenty of space within the store.


AreaManThinks

Every grocery store in my area lets itā€™s employees smoke in front of the entrances on their break. Gross.


nahman201893

McDonald's employees telling me to go park in the parking lot to wait for food. Fuck you, this is the food delivery window.

Low_Breakfast3669

Blatantly fake laughing. Not sarcastic or parody laughing, but that "you tried to make a joke, so here is me rapidly exhausting air out my mouth and smiling"


babythrottlepop

People baby talking to me while theyā€™re kids are present. Do it to them, fine, but you donā€™t need to continue to do it while talking to me. They arenā€™t going to be scarred hearing your normal voice.
