Stupid things like being at work, someone uses the last of something and just leaves the empty box and tells no one that we're out. To me that says "fuck you, someone else can clean this. I got what I need, the person who needs it next can say we need more."
Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.
I always have to look out for shards of broken glass in the bicycle gutter lane because I guess some people think it's fine to just throw glass bottles on the ground
People who think they’re an island. I don’t know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and they’re part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesn’t matter if it’s stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.
I have a nearly fully blocked nose, always have. As such I can’t really breathe through my nose at all (also my sense of smell is nearly nonexistent). I still eat with my mouth closed. It does take me a while longer though, since I basically need to stop eating in order to breathe. But I’d rather do that than the alternative, because I agree with you, chewing with your mouth open is disgusting and disrespectful.
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can't stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you're going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
Exercise. In my case it's so bad that "sitting upright" counts as exercise. Or "watching something slightly intellectually stimulating". I basically live 24/7 in bed. Haven't showered in months. I look forward to the next day my wife shaves off my ugly ass dirty greasy hair.
So, uh, no, I'm not ok. I'm glad I live in a country with a somewhat working social safety net and I'm lucky to have a loving wife who can take care of me.
I would tack on shitty drivers in general. People driving in the shoulder just bc they're in a hurry or think they're important, not using turn signals, not letting people merge, being distracted using their phone, weaving through traffic at high speed; things got way worse during the pandemic and they haven't at all improved at least as far as I can tell.
The "virus wombo combo" of mono and COVID fucked a lot of things up permanently, but most of them have rebounded to an acceptable state. Whenever I drink coffee it fucks me up, even decaf coffee. Makes me feel tired as hell, stressed, overstimulated. It also seems to last for almost a full day. Drink coffee in the morning, and I have a big chance of sleeping badly.
Not that it's guaranteed to hold me back...
Every now and then the sane part of my brain forgets to pay attention and my coffee craving gets the better of me.
Not nearly as bad, if at all. I drink a lot of tea on work days (probably over a liter) and have never had issues with that. I don't regularly drink energy drink or cola etc, but he times that I had them also didn't have the same effect.
While caffeine also doesn't necessarily make my body happy, I do think that there's something else that upsets my body when drinking coffee. Maybe something to do with dehydration or histamine intolerance. Idk.
Edit: hmmm but apparently black tea and green tea are also high in histamine and I drink a lot of that. It remains a mystery
Chocolate! I have no idea why but if I eat more than a small bar of chocolate in a short time span I get this tingling sensation in my mouth, forehead and temples. It's not painful or anything just very weird and I've had it all my life. I've been tested for an allergy to chocolate and it came back negative!
So much this. I was having a discussion with one religious zealot and he kept insisting, "he's your god too" when I referred to yahweh as "his god". No asshole, I don't subscribe to your fairy tales. Though, in a nod to keeping the discussion civil, I limited my responses, to "no, I don't subscribe to your beliefs." Getting upset, yelling or insulting only plays to their ability to project victim-hood. So, it's important to stay calm and keep the conversation rational and focused on the failures of their explanations. You will never convince the delusional to give up their delusions, but you can convince the other people around, who aren't fully delusional, to question the delusions.
Starch. This limits what I can eat. Unfortunately I didn't know this growing up, so I ate a pretty carb heavy diet which caused health issues which caused me to be grouchy a lot. Took until I nearly 40 to figure out that I wasn't just an unstable asshole.
It's a real problem, but I hate filler words. "Um uh hmm" just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It's at a level where I've seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn't really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it's so hard.
I feel like I'm being played for a fool by not telling me the truth and wanting to sugar coat it or something. I can't stand it whoever it comes from, be it a stranger or my own mother.
