Back in my day (pulls out rocking chair) we used to get annoyed at someone with their Walkman cranked up so high that you can clearly hear it across the room.
At least in that day the asshole was suffering permanent hearing loss for their rudeness. Curse modern technology and their built-in speakers!
Spelling errors on professional documents, especially signs/posters/ads. You don't have to know everything, but you have to check before putting it up.
When I see restaurant specials boards riddled with mistakes it makes me want to not eat there.
Their choices with tech, choices in consumerism (Stanley Cups hype, hypebeast brands, Temu shit, etc), not using blinkers, amount of time spent staring at phones, hobbies
Being all like "I fucking love science" whilst perpetuating ignorance of what science actually is like
I find it rude when people on the bus put their bag on the empty seat next to them, so that you have to ask them to move it when there are no empty rows left. It's strangely hostile to me.
I think its just polite to leave your bag off the seat until the bus is boarded.
Here's something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!
If someone's stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It's just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.
But if they describe what they did already, then I think "Wow, this person really put in some I-don't-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!"
Criticizing people for voting 3rd party and then doing nothing to replace first past the post voting.
Okay, I very publicly judge these people. It's not a secret.
There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.
I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?
But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension
That's infuriating. Why couldn't that guy just let someone else do their set while he does his breaks? Heck, if I were that dude, I would have made an arrangement with someone to alternate sets with.
Even if we assume the guy has a fatigue issue, that's still no reason to hog the machine.
The roads in my city are as far from flat as you can get. The potholes aren't bad but the roads are build to slope into the gutters and the gutters occasionally cut through the streets like reverse speed bumps, the train tracks are like crossing wagon ruts.
So if I see you rolling around in some luxury sports car with a 3in clearance, I'm going to assume you're too fucking stupid to deserve that much money.
Speaker on a phone call in public. For that matter, any sound from a phone in public.
People who make small talk with the cashier or service person when there is a line and people who accelerate in the turn lane.
Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. "Five dollars" is $5, not 5$.
