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:
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.
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
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.
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?"
Mouse cord getting caught on things. Makes me want to yank it forcefully.
People who don’t return their cart to the cart corral in the grocery store parking lot
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??
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.
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
Neighbors running their leaf blowers for hours and super early or late in the day
People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.
Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.
Fucktards voting for fascists.
That doesn't sound very small to me good sir
People speaking on their phone using a loudspeaker.
People who don't understand basic elevator etiquette and attempt to walk in before people get off.
People who play Karaoke loud enough for anyone outside of their home to hear.
People who drive two motorbikes / bicycles beside each other and talk, thereby blocking traffic.
People who cut in line.
People who don't clean up after their pets.
People who get angry at the animals and not the owners for the above.
People who display a total ignorance of the most basic facts regarding other countries.
Dysfunctionally incompetent and/or lazy staff (beyond what is acceptable for low income workers).
Bureaucrats who clearly prioritise covering their ass over performing the most basic functions of their job.
People who are rude/dismissive to others who are smaller/weaker/meeker than them.
Racist taxi drivers.
Asshole bus drivers.
People who don't apologise when they are wrong and know it.
I can think of more but I'll stop there.
Office Politics
Cars going into the pedestrian crossing area at red lights
When those little plastic things on the end of your shoelaces fall off.
Aglets. You can buy replacement aglets if it really bothers you.
Mostly pedantic language things like people misusing "empathy" (it's not a synonym to sympathy god-damn-it) and "disinterested" (not synonymous to uninterested god-damn-it). Misuse of semicolons is especially frustrating to me; there are so many people out there, who do not understand the weight difference a semicolon creates, and then thoughtlessly use it to seem smart (wink, wink).
Please expand on your understanding of semicolons
Uber/Dash drivers parking wherever suits them, blocking lanes. Inconsiderate pricks!
Then I get annoyed at the companies forcing them to meet unrealistic expectations or they stop getting jobs.
Then I get annoyed at myself for getting annoyed at the poor bastards busting their asses to make a living in a system that treats them as entirely replaceable.
Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.
Yep. They're mixing up orient, with orientation.
Shifting a manual transmission incorrectly
This is the only correct answer
Doesn't matter how many times I do laundry, my clothes still get dirty :(
Just don't wear them then
People spelling "seperately" instead of "separately".
People on the motorway overtaking you just so they can drive slower than you once they're in front of you. I always wonder why did they bother overtaking in the first place.
I do that sometimes, but only if the person in front of me is driving slower than my cruise control. then i overtake them, during which they obviously have to speed up and when i go back to cruise control speed now I'm the slow one
People speed up while you overtake them?
This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don't have overtaking zones for a long way.
Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up....forcing me to go faster than I'm comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them.......FUCK OFF!!!!!
My family refusing to lower the tv volume and then blaming me staying up at night because of said volume on my phone
That innocent people will die due to selfishness and bigotry. And that it is decidedly ok.
Local council food scrap bags. We're supposed to separate our food waste and store it in compostable bags made of cornstarch plastic. Which start to break down the moment you put something wet in there, like food tends to be. How hard is it to design a bag that stays intact from Wednesday to Wednesday?!
Whatever, now my wife has her own compost bin I can cut out the middle man.
Where I live you can either use those cornstarch types or paper bags (very similar to yard waste bags). I like the paper bag for the big bin that goes in the roadside, but cornstarch ones for the one in the kitchen that only sticks around a day or two. Perhaps raise the idea with your local council.
I prefer curbside system because it is able to accept many things that my at home compost can't handle like dog shit, meats and those biodegradable "plastics" that need industrial facilities. Also apartments.
