Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 79

People that regularly get on their phones during movies because they’re bored, but still regularly think the problem is that the things they’re watching are actually boring and won’t accept that it’s not the movie’s fault that they’ve conditioned themselves to disengage so easily

 

that shit drives me insane

 

Like if you’re not gonna pay attention to the things you ”watch”, whatever man that’s fine, we’re just different people. I’m not gonna hate on someone with a short attention span, we’re all just out here trying to live so who cares, do what makes you happy, etc. But at least own that that problem is YOU and not the majority of things you put on

 

The Bruins not extending an offer to Chara

 

I don’t watch hockey, but out of solidarity, fuck that decision

 

allergies

 

German shepherds, hands down my least favorite dog breed

 

^maybe this is extreme but the one I’m dog sitting has been a massive pain in the ass today

 

I take exception to that statement

 

any commercial featuring Zoltan Kaszas

 

This mf at the grocery store was using one of those power scooters and didn’t even need it. Just basically joy riding. I didn’t want to judge too quickly, because I don’t know if someone has medical issues, but the scooter disappeared at check out, maybe even before. He was able to “jog” just fine too. Making something unavailable for someone who actually needs it. Smh

 

The reactions I get when I tell people my wife didn’t change her last name.

 

When anyone refers to a number other than two as a couple.

 

Okay okay never heard that one before. I definitely do that

 

A “couple” does legitimately have to mean two, but I remember having a bunch of other arbitrary rules about non-specific numbers when I was little lol. “Couple” = two, “a few” = three or four, I think “some” was like five or six, “several” was obviously seven, and then anything more was “a bunch”

 

It feels like the umpire/ref hand signals in baseball for “safe” and “you’re out” are backwards

 

The noisy people have their music playing super loud and of course the office is closed so I can’t call anyone over. And security doesn’t do shit. I told the office it’s usually louder after hours and wtf am I suppose to do

 

When it’s assumed tall people are also physically strong. I can’t begin to count all the times I’ve been expected to carry heavy things on my own just because I’m 6’2” & somehow that’s supposed to translate to upper body strength.

 

when someone misspells an array of different words regularly, mostly because it's just so damn hard for me to let them be wrong and not say anything. I've gotten way better at it tho. or when people like to use words that they in no way understand the meanings of

 

“Cuppa”

 

“Claps back”

 

when someone adds literally nothing to a conversation and acts as though they really did something

 

I have a know-it-all coworker like this (don’t we all?) who loves to reiterate what others say and act like she came up with the idea herself

 

just brutal

 

More than a “tiny” annoyance. The fact that trump cult followers act like what they’re doing isn’t a problem
