“Man, I Freaking Hate People”: 35 Habits That Make Others Lose Their Cool

In some sense, the fact that humans still exist is nothing short of a miracle. After all, we’re not exactly the easiest species to get along with.

Just take a look at this Reddit thread, where people have gone on a rant about the things others do that drive them mad. From slow walkers and rude shoppers to buzz killers and law breakers, the list is long—and let’s be honest, probably not long enough. Check out their posts below and feel free to vent your own frustrations in the comments!

I'll never not feel enraged/sick and upset at the same time by it.

Spilled coffee on a table with a smartphone and plate, illustrating things that make people hate messes. People who say "Oh it's their job to clean up after me" or "I'm making sure that they're still employed" as an excuse for not cleaning up after themselves in public.

Like NO.

You don't leave a soda spilled everywhere and then not even *attempt* to clean it up.

You don't leave rolls and rolls of toilet paper all over the floor in the bathroom.

You don't leave bags of popcorn and drinks and popcorn all over a theater floor and seats.

Take responsibility.

*Clean. Up. Your. Mess.*.

"Man, I Freaking Hate People": 35 Habits That Make Others Lose Their Cool After working as a critical care nurse for years now, you’d think it would be the countless IV d**g abusers or alcoholics that’s I treat in the MICU.... but it’s not my patients that make me think that. It’s their families.

I get that *most* of the time, people are nervous for their loved ones...they don’t want to lose their parent. But I see this situation happen over and over... when it’s time, people can’t just let go.

So 95 year old nana comes in and has trouble breathing. We ask her if she would want to be intubated if necessary and says no. She doesn’t want that or CPR. But there isn’t a form and her daughter is healthcare proxy... too bad the family doesn’t respect that.

So we tube her. But her blood pressure can’t handle the sedation, so we need to start pressors. Then she develops a pneumonia, so we’ve got to pump her with antibiotics. But oops, too bad she’s already gone septic. Start some more pressors, who care if she loses a few fingers and toes in the process, we’ve got a BP right!? Get some bedside dialysis going too, might as well. Until ultimately, we tell the family it’s getting to be futile and we should really just make her comfortable for her own sake.

But no. They don’t agree. F**k your years of schooling and experience. So nana codes. I do chest compressions and break all of her ribs in the process. We shock her and slam her with d***s and fluids for a half hour until eventually there’s literally nothing more to do.

I’m sorry I know this was such a long rant. I just got off an overnight. But his happens so often and every single time I just think of the agony we put this person through in their last days on earth all because a family couldn’t respect their loved one’s wishes.

Please. When it’s time just let me pump them with morphine and Ativan and let them go in peace and comfort.

A young girl looks thoughtful by the pond, wearing a pink shirt and a brown jacket, surrounded by autumn foliage. That I've seen old men whistle and harass 11-14 y.o girls! That happened to me as well, but I have the courage to call them out with people around. I can't imagine what shy 11 year old girls feel when they get treated that way. I'm fourteen but I've already got slapped on the butt by an older dude, and when I talk about it with people they say " Oh, you should have not dressed S O S L U T T Y " ( I literally wore a t-shirt and jeans )
NO MATTER HOW A GIRL DRESSES, DON'T BE A CREEP

Ps. And I know I'll get a response saying something in the lines of " oH bUt iT hApPeNs tO mEn tOo ", yes but come on! How many times have you seen a grown woman harass a tween boy, and how many times have you seen a man doing the same thing to a girl? That's like a 2:10 ratio, if not more.

"we're not vandals, we're street artists! We're beautifying the city" Unless you've been commissioned by the owner of the property, you're defacing property, and the only opinion regarding your "art" that matters, is the opinion of the person who owns the property.

Here is Toronto they tore down a store front. To everyone's delight they discovered a vintage coke advert from the early 1900s on the building next door. Painted on the brink ( huge advert) Mint condition as it had been covered by its neighbor. People took photos, it was on the news. 3 days later some assh*le tagged it. Ruined it. I still remember how terrible it felt knowing someone was so hateful to do that.

Graffiti in general, unless the building owner gives them permission. But then it should be a picture with actual artistic value, and not just a stupid, ugly tag.

Man angrily gesturing at woman who looks upset, illustrating conflict and things that make people hate. People who can't take "no" for an answer and will push you to agree/accept what they say.

People who can't accept criticism when they f**k up and affect other people's lives.

People who can't have a discussion where they are being told a fact and they disprove it because "back in the day..." or authority arguments should always win.

It teaches you some hardcore patience when you have to deal with people like these on the daily.

Two workers in a warehouse, wearing safety gear, discussing something on a laptop. Supervisors and coworkers who flat out tell you that their time away from work is more valuable than yours, because they have kids waiting for them at home. Therefore you as a single, childless person should understand that they need to leave and you are the natural choice for whom can stay and finish what needs to be done.

How some people have the “f**k you as long as I get mine” mentality to a degree where they do it with petty s**t. The people who want to fight you when they cut in line at the grocery store; the people that cross the street without giving a s**t about traffic; the people who buy hyped products just to resell; the people who rush to the front of the line at a catered lunch and then take extra portions to take home for later.

There are enough people screwing most of us on a SUPER large scale - now I have to deal with you taking all the Halloween candy out of the “take one” bucket just because you feel like you are more important than everyone? SMH.

"Man, I Freaking Hate People": 35 Habits That Make Others Lose Their Cool Student Paramedic in the UK here, for context you don't pay for healthcare in the UK including the ambulance service.

We often have patients who will ring us up and say over the phone things like "I have chest pain" chest pain is a high priority case and often gets dispatched as quick as possible. But upon arrival they will tell us "I never said I had chest pain" Yet we ring and ask for a transcript of the conversation and there it is.

9/10 times we have to take them into hospital to check they're okay just incase there is any heart or lung issues, but people will lie to get things seen quicker through the emergency pathway. But people will get us out for anything because they can't be bothered to: A) Drive themselves, B) Pay for a taxi, C) get public transport or D) wait too see their GP (Family doctor)

You can leave people at home and tell them you won't take them but if they ring back another crew will be sent out or even worse something bad could actually happen and you're stuck with the liability.

It makes me so annoyed people see it as a taxi and not as an emergency service. But let me clarify this is a small amount of people but they're definitely there.

EDIT: (My personal opinion) For all those saying "This is why things shouldn't be free" This is a minority of people who do this, all of my patients are treat with dignity and respect, I've had people who've come off motorbikes, attempted suicide, heart attacks, pulled muscles, chest infections the works. I know each and every one of them no matter how dire the circumstances will be treat fairly and equally for their condition with a care plan to look after them after they leave hospital.

The NHS has saved my life and countless others and takes a small sum out of my taxes at the end of the month without the worry that I need too fork out for insurance.

From all the comments for American and other EMS colleagues from around the globe (you guys are rocking it by the way, keep up the stellar work) the situation is similar in their work, people just don't pay as a result your insurance premiums go up and to pay the difference, in the end everyone pays for everyone else.

Edit Edit: IMPORTANT: please don't let this put you off calling an ambulance, if you are genuinely worried about yours or someone's health call us up, we'd rather arrive and find it was nothing than be called when you're at your worst.
Just give us some snacks, Yeah.

Thanks for the gold! And the platinum!!

Geez; even if all the disgusting charges are dropped he still needs to be exiled to a remote island without Wi-Fi so he can’t endanger women anymore. 😰

I used to feel like venting our frustration at the stupidity of "those people who..." was therapeutic but nowadays I think it just keeps us cranky and elevates our blood pressure. I've had my moments of road rage definitely but in general I've found letting people be stupid and moving on is better for my mental health. They'll get what they deserve, I don't need to be the enforcer of karma.

I had to laugh at something today, I was driving, the car in front of me was extremely slow, and constantly hitting the brakes so the safest thing for me to do is to pass them so I'm in front of them. And in my rearview mirror, I can see them now straddling the middle line, so effectively they're blocking both lanes of traffic heading west, and they're still doing less than half the posted speed limit. I give kudos to the other drivers for not honking/road raging and just passing them like I did. (This was 8:00 in the morning on a weekday, not a local license plate... Behavior like this is common enough in a major tourist town, people have no idea where they're going, so it's not likely that they were drunk or anything like that)

I hate the fact that I get so frustrated at little things. At fifty, I try to let the world just go on around me, but I get so annoyed by stupid things, even though I have tried for so long to change this. My failings are my own, and my inability to fully rectify them frustrates me more than anything. I long ago realized that I'm a perfectionist. I am my own worst critic.

“ Have you ever reflected on your own habits after hearing others' complaints?” That’s why I’m here! I’ve discovered that a lot of the things I was taught/picked up from those around me is NOT GOOD, and I’m trying to learn to be better (if for no other reason than to try to alleviate my shame). Also, I don’t get out at all, and the world is rapidly changing, and I need to be prepared in case I decide to rejoin humanity.
