Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, citizens were free to watch YouTube videos to their hearts’ desire, without being constantly bombarded with ads for fat-burning tea and companies that will help you build the perfect resume. These same residents could go to the grocery store and purchase a gallon of milk without wondering if they were going to be able to pay rent that month, and they could walk home without hearing TikToks blaring from other people's phones.

Romanticizing the past isn’t always the healthiest thing to do. But we have to admit, there are some things that have gotten way out of hand these days, so Reddit users have recently been calling them out. Below, you’ll find some of these annoyances that likely grind your gears too, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the things you’d like to put an end to as well!

Why are so many staples going up by 60% or more? Supermarket brand bread has gone from $1.00 per loaf to $2.60 in 3 years. At the same time practically no workers have had pay rises outside management and many have had pay drops. Management rates in the meantime get increases over 15% in many of the years.

A lot of those apps are just web pages and your company has strict security measures to protect the data in their care. That data will be personal so a data breach is bad news. Especially in Europe and UK where a GDPR breach can cost millions if the company is large enough.

I have gotten so many "we are raising our prices this year to growing inflation" and yes the items are smaller, you dont get the same as you did before, or the product is worse. They all say we need to raise the rates for something because they cant afford to keep running their business on the prices now. But yet they show record profits. I'm looking at you Xcel.... among others and others and others just like this. Its insane.

Well, depends on the definition. "Cancel culture" can be both a shorthand for "unrepentant bigots finally facing consequences for their actions" and "people getting backlash for some stupid sh#t they did 20 years ago". Only one of those is good / justified.

1 million up votes. My husband has a real service dog that lived with the trainer for the 1st year of his life getting training, we would visit him once a month. You can tell a real service dog from fake in a milisecond once you have a real one & now how they react to situations. Here in the US there is no card saying the service dog is legit so as soon as someone says I have this card I call BS. Your service dog shouldn't be barking & riding in the grocery store cart BECKY! Emotional support animals are not service animals. A service animal must preform a task for instance my husbands protects him during a seizure

Forget actual facts. Every news outlet avoids doing any actual journalism because there's no money in it. Instead they copy/paste AP stories (edited to put themselves, their advertisers and the politicians they've bought & paid for) and listicles from reddit.

This week I had a woman lose her 💩 at me when I had to tell her she couldn’t take food out of the restaurant, I’ve had people ask for drinks but basically demand them and not even say please, I’ve had tables let their kids make a total mess of the table and floor and show no remorse because that’s what the staff are paid to do

Part of the problem is that politicians are the new celebrities. It's all about how popular they are with the social media crowd. And, then there's the fact so many high ranking politicians spend a large amount of time on those social media platforms acting like children. I've seen governors, senators etc literally making fun of each other over their choice of wardrobe or what kind of car they drive, just to try to generate likes and shares.

From MLMs to literally fake products for "sale", to the ever increasing barrage of fake accounts trying to trick people into handing over money or credit card details, everything is a hustle.

Blame food companies for loading up their food with sugar, fat, salt and worthless calories; blame the fact that healthy food is pricy and that your average min-wage, 2/3-job worker doesn't have the time or budget to prepare it. Blame increasing rates of depression, which makes even the most basic care tasks incredibly difficult, to say nothing of trying to exercise or maintain a diet. Blame long working hours requiring workers to sit for 8+ hours a day. I'm so f*cking tired of obese people being treated like dog$hit under the veneer of "concern for [your] health" or "the strain on the healthcare system" with 0 thought for the fact that these are human beings just as deserving of dignity and respect as non-obese people, or how they got to be obese in the first place.
