There’s a silent universal nod for what things people commonly find irritating. Like, when someone’s loudly gobbling a mouthful, or picking their teeth with bare hands (worse, braces!), or when a person in front of you is biting their nails like they were some salty caramel popcorn. Apologies for ruining whatever it is that you were eating.

But people are so much more complex than that. You see, among the universally annoying and “no, we won’t be friends after that” list stands a bunch of very subtle little things that for many mortal ones, like you and me, don’t even raise an eyebrow, but for others, provoke a full-on breakdown.

So let’s dive deep into the sea of stuff people find annoying, although often totally irrational.

    It really depends how you define pessimism. If it's the good old sarcastic jokes, they help you cope with this situation you don't want to be in. Also, when there's a problem, it needs to be addressed. I dislike constant meaningless complaints too, but the "just shut up and work" is a bit of an unhealthy and kinda dangerous attitude. Meanwhile, forced optimism is annoying too. It feels insensitive.

    It's one thing when people use improper grammar while speaking or informal communication like texting- I don't mind it, it's usually cultural - but I can't abide it in formal or professional writing/correspondence. There was an article a while back in the US about a group of college students trying to get their professor fired on the grounds that he was racist for correcting and knocking off points for improper grammar in their papers. It still gets me to this day, because you know what the real kicker was? THEY WERE JOURNALISM MAJORS.

    The last specific thing I remember getting real pissed about was ghost flights.

    At the beginning of the pandemic, flights were running without passengers because if they just stayed on the ground they would lose government subsidies. So they flew around without any passengers wasting insane amounts of jet fuel for government benefits.

    This is one of the things that can make people more irritable as they grow old. They lose hearing gradually, so more and more people "mumble" (while they just talk normally) but because the change is slow and gradual, they don't think it's a hearing loss.

    Slow walkers, especially when I can't get around them. I just don't understand how people can walk so slow.

    Why don't you just say politely "excuse me, please" and then they will move over to let you pass. They might have an injury or be in pain.

    The asshats who pull up to a gas pump at a station, open the windows and crank their sh*tty music so you can hear every rivet and loose bolt buzzing...and sit there. They're not even getting gas, they just want to make the world an objectively worse place.

    That's the problem with other people's insistence that we need to listen to their music; we all love the smell of our own farts.

    When people ask you if you’ve seen/heard something and when you tell them “no” they act all shocked then repeat the question even louder. You then repeat “no” while fighting the rising annoyance building up inside. After the second “no” they proceed to exclaim how they can’t believe it and either insult you for it or start telling you how great it is. By that point you’re already tuned out but trying not to be a d*ck about it and have no desire to see/hear said thing.

    That rattling noise on my dash, or in the glove box or in the door or in the center console, god damn it where’s it coming from?

    Edit: I just start smacking and hitting things and rattling other things, I move from one part of the car to another and just pray I accidentally fix the god damn rattle. I’ve pulled over before because i was going to drive off the edge of the freeway if I didn’t find that rattle and get it stopped

    The word "technically." It's become the new "literally" coming to mean colloquially the opposite of its original definition. Or oftentimes it's just used super redundantly. "Hey what's this sauce?" "Technically, it's a pesto sauce." "Why, is there something different about it?" "No it's just basil, oil, garlic, cheese, and salt." THEN IT'S A F**KING PESTO, JUST SAY THAT

    It might not be their fault. I have no spatial awareness, anything that is not actively being picked up by my senses does not exist in my mind. I know there is a wall behind me right now, the same wall that is always behind me when I'm working but unless I turn around to look at it I can't visualize it. So if you're walking behind me, not saying anything or making any considerable noise and you don't smell awful, you don't exist to me. If you want to pass me, you're going to have to either tap me on the shoulder/arm or say something.

    Walk speeds. I'm a fast paced walker, big strides, so when I get stuck behind someone I usually just zip around them or slow down my own pace depending on the situation. Near doors and stairways this gets soooo bothersome for me. People like to snail around and dilly dally, while I'm trying to rush to my next class. I still feel bad for rudely rushing past this girl going through some doors at my college, but she literally stopped in front of the doors and idled for like 5 seconds.

    Sometimes YouTube gets stuck with the pause button over whatever I’m watching until I press the screen again.

    Iv gone to press the screen to get rid of it a millisecond after the pause button goes so many f**king times.

    The act of clicking brings the button back up and then I have to click it another god damn time to close it again.

    The whole time this is happening I am fuming and not paying attention to what I’m watching, so I have to rewind 10 seconds and start the cycle again.

    It brings on Alex Jones levels of anger for me.

    The fan on my work laptop...it goes from being silent all day to then sounding like a jet taking off for hours on end. The worst part is the CPU isn't even at 50% most of the time when the fan is doing this.

    I have opened up BIOS and looked at the settings and it all looks fine, the only thing I can think of is Malware or some sh*t but since it's not my personal PC I don't care and am just waiting for it to eventually die on me so I can get a new one!

    It's not malware, but a faulty cooling system. My laptop,which I know is 100% malware and virus free, does the same and I know I should replace the cooling fan. But since I'm not working in IT anymore I just don't bother. I have some spare laptops on the shelf, so if this one dies I'll grab another one.
