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.

    Same applies to TV shows when the commercials are louder than the show you're watching.

    What is worse is when you want to change lane, there is a big enough gap, you indicate and the driver behind steps on it to close the gap.

    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.

    50 Specific Little Things That Are So Irritating, People Can’t Stand Them During May, I had 3 guys hit on me hard through the online games. They know nothing about my personality, didn't bother to ask, but just kept wanting pictures and personal information and trying to insert themselves into whatever I'm doing.

    One of them would not stop pushing his sexuality onto me until I blocked him. The other two treat me like a little fragile girl in need of rescuing. Dudes, I'm fine! Stop! It's such a waste of time and I'm practising being less polite and passive about it.

    IMHO--men respond to directness-- be blunt and short. This is how they talk to each other. being nice = (in their head)= there are doing something right because nice is a positive response = repeating that behavior. So i suggest saying "No" and "no-- you jerk" or if you are feeling saucy "eat a bag of d..ks'" then saying nothing further. Try to drop the things we women say like "I don't want to sound mean" or "I'm sorry but .." Treat them like an annoying kid brother who is bugging the frick out of you!! :) go for it!!

    I will say, due to the lack of voice chat, one of the games I play has a highly welcoming community(for the most part, you do still get some jackasses), and might be worth giving a shot with your friends. Take a look at Final Fantasy XIV. And if you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. Wanted to at least try and recommend a game to help alleviate that.

    In the UK technically there is no fast lane, it is the lane and one or two overtaking lanes, everyone is meant to drive in the left lane and only use the others for overtaking only. But it doesn't work like that in practise

    When an old lady comes on the bus, nobody offers their seat. I will give up my seat when she comes near me but I'm not going to yell across the bus to get her attention.

    Young people (16 year olds) who stand near the entrance of the bus to the point where I have to force my way through to get off the bus. Somehow their idiot faces tell me they still don't think they are in the way.

    I gave up my seat for someone with crutches once when I had a broken arm. Scores of healthy-looking people, surely one of them must have been in a better condition than me. I nabbed it back when the person with crutches got off at another stop and someone new getting on glared at me. FFS - I'm INJURED and was on the flipping bus first.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
