Ask me what little thing pisses me off and... I wouldn't know where to begin. Oh, Lord. What does that say about me? Yikes.
You see, there's no shortage of things out there that annoy the hell out of us. There's a recent viral meme that I love because it proudly declares, "I hate going out in public because the people be there." It speaks to me.
But there's more out there to get on our nerves than just people, as we were reminded once Redditor 19senzafine asked the online community,
"What pisses you off instantly?"
"YouTube turning..."
"YouTube turning your whole recommendation page into a topic you've watched two videos of."
Isn't that the worst? I hate it so much. Imagine needing to research QAnon nonsense for your job only to have your entire YouTube page think you actually believe in it...
"Bees only sting you..."
"Horseflies. Bees only sting you if you mess with them. Wasps sting you if you get too close. Horseflies will chase you to the next town over just to bite you."
"I work..."
"Buffering.
I work so hard and pay so much for good internet. Having 100/100 speeds and being plugged into the router should never have issues."
Incredibly annoying, I agree. And it says a lot that the United States, for all of its boasting, doesn't actually have the greatest internet infrastructure in the world.
"It's a scam..."
Ads about $350 dollar surveys on Instagram. It's a scam and it's annoying as hell.
"When it takes..."
"When it takes 15 seconds for a company to put a fraudulent or unwanted charge on my account but takes 5-10 business days to get it back."
I had to deal with this fairly recently and trust me, I was quite annoyed. The system is designed that way––there is no other explanation, is there?
"I was ice fishing..."
"Seeing people leave trash out in nature.
I was ice fishing this winter and I saw these guys just dump their trash in the hole drilled in the ice. My blood was just boiling at the total disrespect given to nature."
Here's a rule: Don't litter. Just don't do it. It's a quick and surefire way to let everyone know what an ass you are.
"The rage I feel..."
"Accidental instances of minor physical pain. For example: bumping my head on an opened cupboard door, stubbing my toe on the corner of my bed frame, tripping over a raised part of my rug.
The rage I feel during these experiences is the most extreme rage I've ever felt in my life."
"People who refuse..."
"People who refuse to accept that "no" or "I don't know" are perfectly valid answers."
The human body's..."
"The human body's need to save EVERY GODDAMN CALORIE it can get hold of. Can't it just start realizing when enough is enough and pass the rest on?"
Yeah! What's up with that? It's not fair at all!
"Someone automatically assuming..."
"Someone automatically assuming I'm an idiot. I would rather act silly and fun, but it makes people think I'm completely ignorant."
Okay, if reading any of these sent your RAGE-O-METER spiking in advance, sorry, dude. I'm just the messenger.
