Why do you say that Fnord?

Because it happens.

I feel your pain.

Falsely confident people that convince me what they are saying is correct when it is actually incorrect. They aren't trying to deceive me but they simply truly believe they are correct for no reason. It often turns out that I am correct. I wish I had even just a small portion of that confidence they have.

People who label kind people as being too soft. Like it's a bad thing to be kind.

Funny how it's always the c***s that think that way.

When you're trying to plug in a light but you can't see to plug in the light.

Pushy salespeople who try to get you to buy something that you don't want.

When the mods delete my post because of using the C-word but someone else can use the same word and their post doesn't get deleted.

Face "humor" on TikTok. More like face horror. And why do the people in them always make horrible screeching sounds and talking like two year olds with ADHD off their medication?

I know face humor can actually be funny if it's not overdone and the person's face looks normal most of the time. But for some reason on TiKTok people make all these hideous grimaces like they're being shocked with a cattle prod every two seconds. No wonder the world is in such awful shape.

People who stand in the middle of sidewalks, blocking them.
People who jaywalk
Profanity
People giving me advice when they don't even know me, even shrinks.
People who throw the R-word around like confetti
People who try to take Germany from me. +

Bus drivers who don't stop at your bus stop even though you pushed the buzzer.

Ah, yes. One time, I pressed the buzzer in good time and even stood up ready to get off at the next stop, but the driver went zooming past my bus stop and the next bus stop was about half a mile down the road and around the corner. Annoying being so I had heavy shopping bags and it was freezing cold.

I know bus drivers are only human and so will forget sometimes but whenever a passenger presses the buzzer a little light comes up in the dashboard (I know because I work at a bus/coach depot), and all drivers should get into the habit of double checking the dashboard before approaching each stop just in case they forgot if they'd heard the buzzer or whatever.

Shops etc where customers are waiting to be served, randomly standing everywhere rather than in a queue. I often end up waiting unnecessarily longer than I should because the shop staff choose to serve other customers, who haven't been waiting as long as I have. If I say I've been waiting longer, they look at me as if I'm being selfish. I always make sure to let those customers that have been waiting longer be served before me but many other people don't show the same courtesy. Those shops etc are also to blame.

When the paper straw disintegrates before you finish your drink.

When you order all-natural Vitamin E face cream and it doesn't occur to you that they'd pump the stuff full of scented flowery chemicals so strong that you get a migraine and can't even wash it off your hands.

And ... because I guess all face cream is for women, because I guess flowers aren't for men, and no autistic people with SPD ever take care of their skin.

When people try to “help” those who are struggling by pushing bizarre, quack remedies.
