This should be higher up in the list AND it can be extended to every belief in general about 'we' are better then 'them' because of religion/ money/ education/ the place where you live/ the colour of your socks/ etc.etc.

Huzzah, huzzah! The only thing more ridiculous than cancelling someone for a trivial offense committed years ago, is someone digging through ten years of someone else's social media in search of something to use against them.

Not widely considered normal. Considered creepy, disturbing, and exploitative among sane people.

Lot of time, the pressure to go to work come from the management side.

Being rude to anyone.

There is a special place in hell for these folks

It’s extremely sad and toxic

It should be illegal. The last thing I want is for someone to take a photo of me and end up becoming a meme or something.

Hardwork doesn't always lead to success. A lot of people that became successful through "hard work" don't usually include one thing in their success stories: the role of luck. Some of them were lucky to be born in the right place, to the right people, at the right time, happened to go to the right school, happened to make the right friends, etc. For every success story, there are thousands and millions that did the same amount of hardwork and got nowhere. The difference is, those hardworking but unsuccessful people were simply unlucky. No one knows a sure formula for success in life. It's easy to think you do when you've made it.

Including bored panda.

To me it's more using religion as an excuse (to discriminate, to question science, to explain away EVERYTHING...)

I'm going to get downvotes here, but you need to swap out Bill for Richard. Yes, Mr Gates has done some deplorable things while gaining his millions. But he has done philanthropic things that the others haven't even considered. Demonstrably tried to improve things for the rest of humanity. The others? No bathroom breaks and trains that barely run at all never mind on time. Oh, and I'm damn sure it wasn't his age that stopped him taking part in the Prick Space Race, so that's a point in his favour too. Dislike or full on loathe him all you want, but he is no longer in the same league of greed and evil as the others. (Mr Zuckerberg is in a league of his own, although he does look like he wants to be Bezos when he grows up, so...)

Sheldon was actually very true to life for a lot of smart autistic people..but he would be what we would be without adapting skills. And most of us have adapted to our environment.. But he feels rather authentic. He isn't rude or condescending - he just doesn't understand most humans. That's why he follows the rules.. hot beverages for upset humans etc.

Throwing cirarette butts WHILE protesting for for climate-change.

Best time saver, ever... (Oh, why do I put a comment here? I should not care) /s

If it's too extreme, it's often a sign of a sadistic personality, so more reason to work on that early

Finally someone who adresses this! This double standard bothers me fir a long time. Also, some women who try to be "feminists" still keep this in check. If you want equal rights for men and women, that includes the downsides too

And massively overlooked or flat out ignored on social media. Ad in the workforce. It not just something kids do on the playground.

Instamom is the stuff if nightmares. Like the recent one where she jams on the brakes to teach her kid to buckle up. Full blown narcissism in action

The world is not your enabler.

Like the jokes about men being “chained” when they decide to marry. Then don’t f*****g marry. If I was the girlfriend In would be furious

I'm guessing this is more a US issue from what I have read, most of us just don't work when on leave.

We call that being "spoiled and entitled" around here.

I've been married for just over a decade and would be absolutely terrified of being back in the dating game. I wouldn't know where to start.

While I agree that there is such a thing as unhealthy weight, you still won't see me attacking the "body positivity movement". Because for people to change for the better, the first step has to be letting go of the self-hatred and shame that plagues the seriously overweight and drives them into a self-destructive spiral of self-harming and self-comforting behavior. If the body positivity movement helps anyone let go of the guilt and self-hatred that's poisoned their lives then more good than harm has been done, and it's not like body negativity ever did anyone any good. You can't shame people into being thinner or healthier, that's not how humans work.

Dogs having unsocial and aggressive owners.

Ridiculous demands from the same companies that cry over the lack of qualified employees

I'm always depressed by the "my ring has got to be the biggest" stories.

It's all a little more complicated, some people seem to think cheating is about as bad as it can get. But that being said, romance movies are actually the most messed up when you think about it

Warrior? Who writes this?

That cup on the left needed more sleep.

I work at a university, and vacations are sacrosanct here. We have an unwritten rule that you never call someone who is on vacation, no matter how dire the need may be.

That's too much credit for the influencers. Overconsumption entails much more than that. Sadly enough.

As long as it doesn't hurt anybody else it's none of my business

I had a supervisor who was a true believer in toxic positivity. Her attitude was "If we all believe in this stupid idea, it WILL work!", when the sensibly positive attitude is to say "We CAN come up with a solution that will work!".

We criticise. It's just water off a duck's back. Its not criticism that's lacking, it's accountability and consequence.

Not that much of a problem here in Europe

I don't hate police in general, but I've had my arm and nearly my skull broken during the 2001 Genoa protests (unprovoked attack on peaceful protesters) and I was in the Diaz school raid (but luckily wasn't hurt as I was hiding in a closet). Sooo... there's good apples and bad apples... but the bad apples do a lot of damage as they are put in a position of power.

I don't buy this "There are more good cops than bad cops" myth. If there are really more good cops than bad cops, the good cops would be able to clear the force of the bad cops. In reality good cops either shut up and look away or leave the force because they can't stand how other officers abuse their powers to bully people. And we all know about the stories of how superiors covered for bad cops overstepping their powers or being just racists or sexists.

This starts with distrust of the police because of bad experiences. The police needs to keep improving. There have been too many high profile cases recently of officers abusing their position of authority to commit truly heinous crimes. Part of the problem may be with recruitment - we can't get decent folk so we'll lower the bar, or be less vigilant vetting past behaviour because we need the numbers. Sadly, as with everything else, this comes down to money and government and corruption and power.

I agree. Ever go into a bad neighborhood and see all the bars on the windows and gates on all the shops? They aren't there to keep the police out!

The hate of police comes from a real place though. I never hated police, until they busted my door down, put a gun to my husband's head and forced me to wake and strip my children naked so they could look for "signs of abuse" 4 1/2 hours after my toddler hit the 911 button on my phone (this was when phones had an emergency button that everyone pocket dialed). Now, I fear police. And since getting into the mental health and drug rehab fields, I learned to fear them more. Fear absolutely overlaps with hate. So, the hate, was earned!

I've lost all faith in the police in general 😔 I had an issue with my neighbour, which they dealt with well; now I'm being slandered and bullied online with dreadful racial slurs... And even though I gave them all his details, they won't do anything and victim-blamed and victim-shamed me.

I don't hate anyone, but I have encountered a few racist police who used their power to bully and abuse people with darker skin than theirs. Zero fairness involved.

Don't want problems with police? Stay on the right side of the law-- "protests" are people trying to provoke fights-- then they wanna cry when they succeed.

That's hard when you know so many corrupt ones. Not just cop's that take bribes etc, the ones that abuse there power. I've done 10byears working as a doorman/bouncer and seen to much.

The vast majority of crimes are not handled by police, are not prevented by police, and are in some cases exacerbated by police. The police and current 'justice' system are not a solution to the social problems that cause most crimes.
