People that dismiss other people's problems/struggles as "no big deal" because they are not affected. Actually, most people are like that. That's why I make a point of dismissing many people's problems as no big deal in retaliation.

The "pointless thread of..." threads

When people drunk post on forums or social media

When people play music or videos out loud on their phones on the bus

Catcalls

Customers whistling at me

Talking down to me

Micromanager

Loud noises, esp in confined spaces

Day laborers

In Kentucky the weather is around 100F in the summer. In business buildings such as restaurants the air conditioning is blasting. So it's a chilly 65F indoors.
So I'm wearing shorts and T-Shirt in a chilly building.

In church they have the speakers cranked up, even though everyone could hear the preacher without the speakers...it's a small room!
The preacher shouts into the mic and it's extremely unpleasant.

People who are so used to lying that they can automatically, naturally and convincingly tell harmful lies without even being aware of the fact that they are lying. I think they are evil.

The idiots running Sky news are showing an interesting program about Putin with English subtitles at the bottom of the screen and simultaneously running a news ticker over the top of the translations. Utter idiots. Can't even arrange their own text so it is visible. Gave up on the program in the end as it was so annoying.

- When you click the thing that says "Don't ask me these questions again" on a website login, but they always ask you those questions again.

- Two-step verification when they text you a stupid PIN that expires in two minutes. I can never find my mobile phone or else it's dead. It's ableist to think all people can rush back and forth between two devices all the time (or that they even have two devices). After my stroke it was almost impossible to get up and down the stairs to find my phone. Then the websites would lock me out from my laptop.

Fat people that fat-shame other fat people. Does being fat give them the privilege to fat-shame? They shouldn't assume that other fat people are as insensitive as they.

When people with the same regional accent as me pronounce "scone" as "scon".

When people don't read my OP properly, or ask me questions that I had already answered in my OP.

Smarmy condescendence and malicious stupidity.

People who go on about it being the coldest day, layer up with Thermal underwear and wear an overcoat and gloves.

People who tell me to wear gloves (or hats, or a coat for that matter).

I don't bother with any of that.

Most of the time I don't even wear socks in the winter, even when there's deep snow.

When people (NT or not) claim we typically lack empathy.

Real estate agents, car dealers, politicians etc - liars/deceivers.

People lacking the courage to ask me directly why I do or say things, and asking disinterested third parties instead.
