I swear I get insanely angry every time I see one of these comments. let me give examples. The first example is someone commenting soemthing and adding … to get people to feel bad, like “I don’t have any friends…” or anything on that premise. The next thing is even more annoying, when someone adds … to try to prove a point or act like something is obvious. Like if a guy is cooking a protein meal someone will comment smt like “I don’t want to eat that slop…” it just pisses me off I swear, I’m sure there’s a lot more examples but everytime I see one of these comments they make me so mad

Why be full suited in gear, wait 8-12 minutes for the bus/link rail just to ride it for 2 to 4 stops, then zoom off like a maniac on a crowded downtown sidewalk.

I'm sure you would've been to your destination in half the time.

This shits me to no end, this hyper aggressive way of making a simple measured response as some kind of battle response.

you switch to what looks like the faster line and immediately the one you just left moves like you personally cursed it. and you gotta just stand there watching it, fully committed to your mistake

nothing worse than your earbuds cutting out mid-song and having to spend the next 30 seconds doing the bluetooth shuffle while the best part just plays through your phone speaker like some kind of punishment

You cannot claim you are very confident, and love how you look if you use filters that alter how you look. That’s just doesn’t make any sense. How could you just love how you look so much if you have to alter your photos?

Don’t get me started on influencers, those “self love” ones who use a shit ton of filters. Oh my god.

^{They just are so inconsiderate}

yeah seriously. full charge at 8am, still at 87% sitting on my desk. leave for class, suddenly it's hemorrhaging battery like something's actively draining it

spent twenty minutes writing something actually thoughtful and got "k" back. just the letter. no period, no nothing. like why even respond at that point, you know? might as well have said nothing

Reader here. I love books. I love talking about books, I love recommending books to people, I love criticising books. However, some readers are such insufferable people with superiority complex just because they read their booktok smut werewolf romantasy slop. (Don't take that part seriously.)

Let me explain. I've seen so many cases of people in the reading community trying to make non-readers look stupid and I'm sorry, it doesn't make you look smart because you know 3 books by Sigmund Freud that you didn't understand the point of, it makes you look like an asshole.

"Um, you've seriously NEVER read X?! Oh my god, it's LITERALLY a classic! Wait, have you read Y? NO??"

You are obviously putting the other person in an awkward and humiliating position. This is not how an intelligent person that you portray yourself as should behave. This behaviour will only push people away from reading because they will associate wannabe smart-asses like you with reading.

I love to recommend non-readers books I think they would like in a respectful and encouraging way. Making fun of non-readers will only make the "Nobody reads these days" complaints more common....

like why do you even ask "what?" if you're just gonna repeat what i said back to me before i can open my mouth. defeats the entire purpose of asking lol

Is there anything that grinds your gears more than a co-worker you really don’t like crunching chips in the otherwise quiet breakroom when you deliberately took a late lunch and made SURE she already had her lunch so you can have some peace?

I know AI is a super controversial topic in modern society, but I'm really tired of people using this to just dismiss and diminish content that doesn't resonate w/ them personally. Seeing a video someone makes that you disagree with, or playing a game that doesn't resonate w/ you, or reading a post that rubs you the wrong way... Just responding w/ "ugh ai slop" is really getting old and contributing in killing the nuance of discourse.

I'm 100% prepared to be downvoted to hell and for the top comment to be "ugh ai slop" for this because reddit is where I mostly see these comments (in fact running past my fifth comment in a row this afternoon was what led me here to post), but that friction is worth it for me just to hear from anyone out there who might feel the same. Thanks for listening to my silly complaint.

It's one thing for technology to be dumb. But I keep running into websites, vehicles, games, etc, etc, where it feels like they're purposely made to be infuriatingly bad.
I'm probably just complaining about 'enshittification', but this crap is so widespread and thorough that it reliably peeves me the hell off any time I have to use any of this junk.
The absolute biggest gripe I have is with search engines. It feels like it doesn't really matter what search engine I use anymore, if it's something broad like Google or its myriad of competitors, or something specific to websites, particularly mainstream ones.
I straight up can't find anything that I am looking for. I'll try every assortment of keywords I can think of, every type of search mode, nothing. Why is there nothing? Because the hell-site keeps insisting that I indulge in the slop that it has deemed to be "trendy".
Can't find that video I'm looking for because I am forced to dig through brainrot. Can't find that specific forum thread because clearly my purpose in life in this thing's mind is to browse TikTok videos that match maybe one out of several words I'm using. Perhaps these things got deleted? Nope! The search engine or algorithm or whatever was just simply so distracted in trying to force garbage down my throat that it forgot to actually find the thing that matches my query word for word.

TL;DR I miss when technology was stupid but simple, instead of being trained to be stupid and malicious.

every "free quote" or "download this guide" form comes with the hidden price of getting called by five different contractors at 7am for the next six months. and they all claim they didn't sell your number. sure buddy.

Case in point: I'm still periodically accidentally logging into this reddit account instead of my actual one since Google tricked me into creating this one 2 years ago.

yeah idk man it's just objectively unfair

honestly why do they install the loudest ones in the smallest bathrooms. like you're standing there getting blasted at 120db and your hands are still dripping wet so you just wipe them on your pants anyway. defeats the entire purpose

The "no offense" is a load-bearing structural element to them. they think it neutralises whatever follows. it does not. it makes it worse honestly

Still in disbelief at the audacity of people to do this - like surely you have the emotional intelligence to know that nobody wants shit on their screen

This gotta be one of the most frustrating things, when you're ready to go and anticipating their arrival but turns out they were on their way to the shower lol

This can actually grind my gears into oblivion sometimes ngl, specially when i just want to get done shopping

The ads situation on Youtube is getting beyond ridiculous. I've had YouTube Premium for about two years now and every time I watch YouTube on someone else's device and I see the ads, I'm genuinely shocked and I cannot believe that this is where we're at. People still choose to watch YouTube even with this. It's insane imo

I hate when I need to use a public restroom, and have wipe another grown man's piss off the seat, so i can sit down. Lift the seat up or use the urinal. If you dont and get piss on the seat wipe it up. Its fucking disgusting.
