I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
New year’s eve. I’m generally not a depressed person but new year’s eve just reminds me of the unstoppable passage of time and how I have one fewer year left here and haven’t achieved a fraction of what I want to. Just really depressing stuff, generally. Being at a party with cheerful friends and alcohol helps a bit.
Same with birthdays a bit, but not as bad.
2020 (or was it 2021, dont remember) new years in NYC time square was so depressing. Just empty. Like an apocalypse.
When people linger in doorways. We’re not hanging out with you because you’re cool; we’re trying to get past you. In or out, you’re wasting the heat/AC!
More like wasting space and time. GTFO the way.
You want to sit and chat with someone, go to where there is space to sit and chat instead of inconveniencing everyone.
The habit of people to skip any or all nuance in assessing a situation because it’s “more palatable”.
A good example of this is familial relations. Family is more than just “parent”, “child”, “sibling”, “friend”, and/or “spouse”, you could have grey areas where something would come off as not quite one thing or another thing. Age-gap siblings can develop into having an aunt or uncle who is younger than you, or you might be older than your step-parent, or you might manifest a relationship in a way that contains some aspects of a friendship, etc. But there are people who don’t want to hear any of the buts about it, they just want a one word answer.
Ice in drinks, because I hate straws so I almost exclusively drink from the side of the glass. Ice slams into my teeth and makes me rage. What a first world problem lol
Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?
- You get less of the drink you paid for
- It ends up watered down.
- Cold = less flavour
- It’s too fucking cold
And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice
All valid points, but if I may, for me it’s more like
- I don’t want more drink
- I like it diluted - lasts longer
- Cold = sensory heaven
- It’s never ever cold enough
- Crunchy water snack when you’re done!
I love ice, I finish my drink then I chew the ice until I get brain freeze. It’s epic.
you can have all of mine 💀
Thanks! 🧊🧊🧊
Ice…slams into your teeth?
Just pucker your lips a bit and use the top one to block the ice. I’m trying to think through how I drink from a glass of ice water or iced coffee and I’m relatively confident that’s how I do it…
Okay I tried it out. My upper lip blocks the ice. Sometimes if I open my mouth more a cube will tap my teeth, but only gently because it was already held by the lip until then. The only way I could get ice to slam into my teeth was to like, hold my lip up in a sneer and just let the ice hit my teeth. But my instinctual ice-water-drinking method is to block ice with lip.
Give it a try! Might change your life, cold ice water is fucking awesome.
I think I might have a weird shaped mouth haha. To be honest I usually find ice cold drinks to also be too cold overall and painful on my throat. I drink any fluid like someone who just walked a day in a desert with no water…
Actually, you know what I do like ice in? My hot drinks! I put a few cubes per cup of hot coffee or tea so I can drink it NOW, not in 20 minutes when it’s safe consumption temperature but I’ll have forgotten where the hell I put the mug
Fair enough, lol. I got a good chuckle out of the image of downing any drink by just dumping the whole thing straight down your throat. 😂
I can literally do that lmao. Feels awesome when you’re extremely dehydrated. Probably not good for you though
I can gulp like a champ, but I’ve got nothing on this
Hate is such a powerful emotion. I can’t honestly think anything that I hate. I dislike many things but not hate.
The smell of coffee. I don’t know what’s wrong with me (or alternatively the vast majority of people) but it smells as disgusting to me as a steaming pile of dog poop. I learned to ignore it to some extend but I still hate it in all its variations: The powder, freshly roasted beans, freshly brewed coffee, cold coffee, coffee breath, …
I learned to ignore it to some extend
That must not have been an easy thing to do, and I feel for you knowing how omnipresent coffee is. Heck, I had my first coffee I was not 9 year-old. I remember it vividly, it was a large and thick cup (to my kid eyes at least) half filled with black coffee (not the tinted water many people erroneously call ‘coffee’), without milk but with sugar, way too many. I liked it, probably because of the too many sugar in it, and I never quit drinking coffee for 50 years or so, up until very recently and only because my doctor told me so.
As for the smell, obviously I would not compare it to poop like you did but I reckon there is one thing they may both remotely share, very remotely though, a kind of ‘earthy’ smell?
Maybe I phrased it in a confusing way. Coffee does not smell like dog poop to me. It’s just exactly as disgusting. Can’t really compare it to anything else but it’s a very intense smell that I just can’t stand. I noticed that microwaving chocolate milk can lead to a similar smell but by far not as bad as coffee.
It’s not roasted stuff in general that I despise and also not related to milk.
Did you switch to something or off caffeine altogether? Black tea is much nicer haha
Yep, I drink tea (I already was) and decaffeinated coffee. For the most part, I drink good old water.
Little squirts of pure vanilla are quite nice complement for tea, particularly earl gray
/me dutifully write this down.
Never tried that, thx for the suggestion.
It is amazing how much this kind of thing depends on conditioning; there is a culture I read about recently where if someone sees you drinking coffee then they would ask you how you were feeling because it is considered to be a gross drink that you would only have when you were sick; tea would be the beverage of choice at all other times.
Oh, where is that? As an inspiration in case I decide to emigrate one day. 😄
I read it somewhere in a book I was reading on Buddhism and the nature of the mind; if I am able to find it I will let you know!
Plug in air fresheners.
If I rent an Airbnb which has them I will hunt every single one down and it’s going straight out the window.
Lol why?
super unhealthy for everyone
Got misophonia, the sound of dog licking triggers me
licks his dog, loudly
The sound of flip flops. Drives me up a wall!

Dogs. I don’t want to hear about yours and if I’m in public keep your dog away from me.
I used to sit a dog who loved sniffing random people’s feet lol
The concernedly rising sightings of “could of” and “should of”. And it’s always the native English speakers. It irks me every time I see it. Why are you making such an obvious mistake? The sentence doesn’t even sound coherent. How about you speak the sentence aloud and see how wrong it sounds?
But spoken it’s fine. It’s could’ve.
It’s when that gets written as “could of” that it becomes an abomination…
I have definitely heard “could /should of” by native speakers more than once.
What do you mean you’ve heard “could of”? Of course you would have heard that. That’s literally how it’s pronounced. It’s just not spelled out that way, as the above person noted. People end up erroneously writing it like that because that’s how you say it out loud.
Do you pronounce “could’ve” in a way that doesn’t sound like “could of”??? Curious to know what that would sound like.
“could have”?
Yes, but both “could have” and “could’ve” are correct, but also spoken differently, which is why I’m confused.
Perfume and cologne. Makes me wheeze. Also long dirty fingernails, people who work with soil excused from that.
I was at a fried chicken place and there was someone in there wearing so much perfume it overpowered the oily aroma of fried chicken. What the fuck
Glad to hear that workers like me have an exception. Always feel a little insecure about my dirty nails (I’m a woodworker and the grit from sharpening gets onln my nails and hands).
Also hate super strong perfume. Sometimes there are old ladies, who I assume have little sense of smell left, utterly dowsing themselves in perfume. As soon as they open the door the smell hits you like a brick. Honestly I dont know if I hate the smell of BO or chemically perfume more. One grosses me out and the other makes me winse. Sometimes its so strong my sinuses and nostrils burn.
I just mean people who are lazy about cutting their nails, it’s obvious when it’s someone working with their hands like you. Usually it’s gross old men with untrimmed hair and beards and these nasty ass fingernails and you know they’ve been on a bullshit disability claim since they were 50 and do nothing but watch TV.
I grow my nails to play guitar and I’ve gotten flack for it, but my old lady doesn’t care and it’s nobody else’s business. I try to keep clean but the factory can be a punishment on one’s shiny cuticles
it took my family member 5 years to get disability after a near fatal crushing accident. I have no idea how they’d fake anything and get on disability, maybe you can tell me the secret of getting it sooner? BTW, You can’t tell if someone’s disabled by looking at them.
Sometimes old ladies shop at my work and the lingering smell of perfume transports me back to childhood, lingering in the hallway while my mom got herself ready to go out. That’s about the only positive thing I can say about most perfumes. I do like my wife’s sweet vanilla scent, though.
people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer
And drivers who speed out of their driveway
You think I have that much time in my life to list all of them!?
The one that pops into my head immediately is:
There is a special place in hell for people who don’t hug the curb when yielding to traffic before making a right hand turn. Instead they take up the half the through lane and half the turning lane, meaning that the person behind them can’t pull forward.
