Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people just throwing trash out their car windows. It’s become disturbingly common and I really want to scream at the that the world is not their trashcan. I don’t, because I really think I would get shot.

Saying that they could care less when they mean they couldn't care less.

Like, of course anyone can care less than they currently do.

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it's a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn't just lying. It's making someone belive that they can't trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. "Five dollars" is $5, not 5$.

People who make small talk with the cashier or service person when there is a line and people who accelerate in the turn lane.

People with shattered phone screens.

Pretty much anyone with a broken phone screen are just chaos moving around.

I understand where you're coming from, but it might just have been a simple accident and they're too poor or don't have the time to get it fixed. I went around with a shattered screen for about six months.

That's the exception for me. If the screen is cracked, but it bothers them I sympathize, but if it's cracked and they throw their phone around and get mad as if it was the phone's fault then I super, super judge them.

I have the same theory. Anytime I see someone having a phone call on speakerphone it's almost 100% because their screen is shattered and they just walk around screaming into their phone.

Makes sense that these are also the type of people walking around just raw dogging life with out a cell phone case.

Here are my top 5:

  • Being on their phone too much.
  • Being willfully ignorant.
  • Believing in religion.
  • Using proprietary social media apps (e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook).
  • Using non-free BIOS firmware / non-free software.

Being smarmy. I can't stand people who are ready to manipulate anything out of people as they do it with their smarmy smirks.

Being all like "I fucking love science" whilst perpetuating ignorance of what science actually is like

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Elaborate with example pls

Anyone calling themselves a "scientist"

Biologist, astronomer, mathematicians, these are all valid professions.

Scientist is not a profession.

  • People who take phone calls with it on speaker
  • People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
  • Wearing "MAGA" clothing
  • Having a cyber truck
  • Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
  • People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
  • People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
  • Edit: People that don't like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don't vibe with animals in some way are... Off.

~~damn, I'm a judgy bitch~~

'It has chemicals in it'

This use of 'chemicals' as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they're parroting some scaremongering tiktok.

being judgey assholes

[–] [email protected] 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.

Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.

I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I think it's because they are emulating chaos-based reality tv shows.

These garbage reality shows had people using speaker-phones in public so they can record both sides of the conversation as easily as possible.
