The Pet Peeves Thread

When people strongly and openly criticize the fast food industry and tell others that they should eat healthier yet they drink alcoholic beverages, use some form of tobacco product or illicit drugs, pierce their body, get tattoos, go in tanning beds, and/or dye their hair. Yes, I know that fast food is very unhealthy but all the others are even further in the category of being unhealthy. I’m sorry I’m going off on a rant here but it’s hypocritical on SO many levels!

You forgot people complaining how bad fast food is, yet use a body wash and lotion on their face.

The hoops you have to jump through to create a thread on reddit, that automoderator is an annoying cúnt.

When people automatically assume that a country dweller from the United States is a southerner. I say this as a southerner myself (I’m from the state of Georgia, not the country for the record), though my parents are both northerners. It is in deed true that the south does have a lot of farmland. However, I personally cringe when people think that northerners are automatically city dwellers. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey (mainly the southern portion), and northern New England all have TONS of farmland, much like the south does. On a similar note, it really drives me crazy when people refer to New York City as New York. Listen people, there’s New York City then there’s the state of New York. It really shouldn’t be that difficult to understand! On top of all that, at the end of the day, a good old country boy is a good old country boy, regardless of where in the United States they come from. Hell, there’s also country dwellers from Canada and various places of Europe as well! They’re good old country boys too!

Reddit in general is a pet peeve.

 

I love the content, and frequent some of the subreddits but I almost never read the comments and I don't participate anymore. Just way too toxic.

[JON22 3,841]

I hate when I buy food such as microwave meals or ready-made bowls of trifle that have a plastic film covering it with no way to get a decent grip to take it off, then when I do manage to get a grip and start peeling it off only the edge of the plastic hanging over the rim of the packaging comes off so I have to stab it open instead.

Absolutely. I rarely post on there. I sometimes wonder how I can be an active forum member for nearly 15 years on another forum then just feel like a full-on retard when I can't post sh*t on Reddit. 😛

Old school forums like these are just way better than Reddit. Sure you still get the occasional toxic person, but the community as a whole just feels more tight knit and real. I swear majority of the people on Reddit don't feel real. They act that ridiculous.

I agree. I made a guy have a meltdown on Reddit because I called him out on a double-standard he was holding I tried actually to do  it in a respectful and gentle way but it really triggered him. It may have been because I compared him to Trump but just the mention of the T-word sent him in on a downward spiral of drivel. And I was quite surprised because we were in a subreddit where we were both there for our shared love for a not-so-popular music group and fans would probably be on the more open/art side. That alone, you might you think, people would be chill but he really flipped out. But Reddit is one of those places that kind of represents everyone in society in decent numbers. So, you might think that someone's crazy comment with 2k likes is indicative or a reflection of a majority in society, due to it's popularity but it's not really representative at all. I like it here because you can disagree with people but still respect them and like them. 

 

I don't visit gaming section of Reddit because it's super toxic. And I realize now why my old mate used to come over to mine with such negative forgone conclusions about these games he's never played. And then I realized, I get most of my gaming news and info from fellow GTA fans, so the we're like-minded in that gaming sense to a degree. So when a thread like Fallout 76 is popular and people are enjoying it, it's probably OK. But if I got all my info from Reddit/Gaming then I probably would never consider that game.

Sometimes when I'm using an app, if I find something interesting I'll go search about it on the Internet. By the time I open the browser, I have already forgot what I was going to search. Sometimes it happens when I'm switching tabs in the browser.

I really hate mosquitoes.I hate that they spread diseases,I hate their annoying buzzing sound (especially when they fly by my head every few seconds at night while I'm trying to sleep),I hate how I notice them for a second and then they just disappear like they can teleport.If those little sh*ts became extinct,I would not miss them.

I can't stand it when people can't spell "definitely" properly. They either spell it "defiantly" or "definately" and it drives me crazy!

Audio books!

 

Unless you are handicapped in such way where you can't hold a book, turn a page, see and read words...read the book!  How lazy can one be if they don't even want to exercise and use their imagination.

I also prefer hearing my own internal voice reading the book rather than someone else's.

-A few months back our next door neighbours complained that our air conditioner was too "loud" to the point where we had to get someone to have a look at it yet they said it was in fine working order. Sometimes when I've been out in my backyard I can hear what sounds like a f*cking orchestra with instruments and sh*t coming from their place which is  ALOT louder than a humming air conditioner.

 

Basically I can't stand people who have the nerve to complain about noise yet they're no better themselves. Ok fair enough if we throw parties every weekend, but I swear some people just have nothing better to do *shrugs*. 

 

-Stuffing up my order at McDonald's, KFC etc. I get people make mistakes and being a fast food worker would probably be a stressful job at the best of times, but I can't stand it when my relatively simple order gets stuffed up simply because they haven't been listening. I guess that's why it's becoming automated now with those self service kiosks becoming more common to take out as much of the human element as possible.

 

-This is somewhat related to the point above, but people who actually overreact. Now as annoying as it is to have your order stuffed up I never raise my voice or become rude. I remember a while back some guy at KFC got upset that his daughter (or son. Can't remember) didn't get something and he flipped his lid. I mean seriously conduct yourself in a reasonable manner in public. It's not hard,
