Someone complains about poor service from DoorDash - “well don’t use it then, you should learn to cook, I cook every meal.”

Someone asks for advice about buying a pre-made sauce - “You should just make it yourself, it’s so much better.”

A parent asks for thoughts about a kids TV show - “Kids shouldn’t be watching TV, my kids spend all day outside playing.”

Yes, congratulations, you’re Better Than Everyone Else. Feel better now?

Even worse when the entire post gets derailed by people circle jerking about how they grew their own tomatoes in their own organic garden and canned their own sauces and they’ll never go back to pre made and people actually answering the question get downvoted. Good for you, go find a homesteading subreddit to talk to each other about that. I just wanted to ask a question about this jar of pasta sauce!

people making over 100k crying about being the “new 40k“, when by in large most Americans are actual real life making 40k and a LOT less, dont get my sympathy. I dont know anyone friends or family (living in NJ rn) making 100k and we’re either struggling or making it work within our means. If people i know have bought houses and raise families comfortably with under 100k in NJ, you not managing 100k is just wild to me.

Lifestyle creep and living beyond your means are not the same as struggling. Sure you get taxed, a $1k car note on a pickup truck you don’t use for its purpose is not a necessity, get a hybrid Toyota from a couple years back, your 401k and other investments are probably stacked, you go to a nice gym, buy really great healthy groceries, etc. etc. that’s not living paycheck to paycheck.

Most young professionals I know can’t even move of their parents or without roommates. 100k+ salaries are life changing amounts of money most Americans will never reach, its is ABSOLUTELY not the “new 40k”.

reddit is filled with bootlickers so I don’t imagine this will resonate, but it is the most out of touch thing I’ve seen and comparing it to real life working class conditions while living in luxury apartments is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I’m talking about those professional cooks who see a video of someone preparing home meals for a small amount of people and just have to leave some variant of “you shouldn’t do it that way, you should it do it the way we do it in the restaurant.”

I don’t think I need to point out that restaurants have a higher volume of people eating as well as a bigger variety of food options. Restaurants also have to factor in speed and being safe in ways that the home cook doesn’t. Stop being condescending jerks

Whenever a teenager or a young person in general has a grievance, adults always love to say "it only gets worse from here” or "it gets harder from here" it got harder for YOU, babe. You goofed around as a teenager too much and that left you unprepared for adulthood, so stop projecting.

Just because you are unhappy and disgruntled with your life doesn't mean everybody else has to be. It's not everyone's fault that you have a crappy life as an adult. Stop telling young people that their lives are gonna plummet because yours did

I'm 19 years old. Respectfully, I would like to live the rest of my life without some disgruntled adult saying how my life is gonna be a huge pile of trash in the future.

And I especially don't like this because it implies that if you're a teen, you live your life on easy mode. yes you have no bills, but being a teenager isn't really as easy as people make it seem. You absolutely have responsibilities as a teenager. They may not be ones like paying mortgages or taxes, but as a teenager you get your first job, you're responsible for turning in your homework on time, getting home at a certain time, having a solid GPA, getting your drivers license, and much more.

going to an interview
“Make sure to dress nice!” I know that already, I literally wore one to the last interview I went.

running late to an errand my parents asked me do cause they gave me the wrong address
“Hey! Don’t speed just cause you’re late and upset!” Telling that to the guy who’s previously stated multiple times that I don’t like people who drive aggressively because they’re late to something.

These are ones I remember cause they’re more recent, but they def do this quite a bit. They don’t take into consideration anything you’ve done and shown in the past and just assume they’re talking to the most ignorant version of you in the moment. They probably think they’re being helpful but it’s just annoying.

I cannot stand when I click on a website because I want one incredibly simple piece of information, like a price, opening hours, shipping cost, availability, whatever, and five seconds later I'm staring at "Create your free account to continue."

Continue WHAT? I haven't done anything yet.

I don't want a profile. I don't want to choose a password. I definitely don't want to verify my email and then get six marketing emails next week because I was curious how much one stupid thing costs.

The worst ones let you browse just long enough to think the information is available, then blur the exact part you came for. Or you fill out half a form and only at the very end they reveal that you need an account to see the result.

At that point I usually just close the tab and find another site, even if making the account would've taken less time. It's the principle of it.

Why does checking a restaurant menu, getting a rough quote or seeing whether something is in stock require me to begin a long-term digital relationship with your company?

If an account actually does something useful, fine. Save my orders, remember settings, track something, whatever. But forcing registration before you've given me any reason to come back feels completely backwards.

Let me see the information first. If your site is useful enough, maybe I'll want an account later.

Making me invent password number 47 just to learn that you're closed on Sundays is not building customer loyalty.

For example, when you’re talking to a friend in public and the topic is really sexual but they don’t lower their voice. Like I’m no puritan but I don’t think everyone else needs to hear this lol

People seem to do this a lot on this sub. I’ll give examples.

Poster: I hate when people talk with food in their mouth

Commenter: just stop eating food with people if you can’t handle it

Poster: I hate when people send dry texts

Commenter: stop texting people

Poster: I hate when I can’t find parking spaces

Commenter: just don’t drive if you don’t like it

Thanks, genius🙄

Lifehack!!!! Use carpet gripping tape under your carpets and rugs in order to stop them from moving around on the floor.

If you don’t use up the entire countdown when you use the microwave, you should clear the timer. It’s not the next person’s responsibility to set the microwave back to zero. It should already be reset the next time someone goes to heat something up.

It’s so simple. All you have to do is press one button to get it to clear out.

HATEEEE when im in a lil argument online and the person hits me with the “get a job” like baby there are 24 hours in a day and the average person only works for 8 of them and sleeps for 8 of them which leaves me approximately 8 hours of free time per day to tell you that what you’re saying is genuinely stupid

I’ve recently noticed how annoying it is when people say this in a debate. They make their case, and if you don’t agree to it, they say “it’s not that complicated bro”. As if just because you don’t agree, you don’t understand what they’re communicating.

It’s an annoying thing to say and it’s also become very overused.

If you have tappy clacky fingernails, and you are holding up and showing something to the camera in a YT video, talking about it etc, and you clackytap your nails on it, I'm done watching you and any of your videos forever.

When it's become so natural and normal for them they struggle to communicate without it. It's every third word. If you ask them to please curb it because of the company you're in or because of the current situation, their speech becomes halting and they still mess up and apologize.

This annoys me so much! When someone is constantly correcting you for using exaggerated statements to make a point. It started as a child, where I’d be corrected for saying things like “ugh everyone hates me” or “I don’t have any friends”. I don’t LITERALLY mean I don’t- never mind. It’s so frustrating. It has extended into adulthood. “

“Oh my gosh, there’s fifty feet of snow out there”
“Actually there’s only 2 feet so….

It’s almost reminds of me this example I’ve seen used for people with lower IQs, where they can’t understand hypotheticals. Like if you ask someone to imagine they didn’t eat breakfast and they keep saying “well I did eat breakfast”. They literally can’t comprehend it. That is what this behavior gives!

People going say, 5 mph lower than what you want to do.

You go to pass them… they speed up to 4 more than you want to go.

“Okay, must not have realized they were going that slow”. So, you get back into the traveling lane.

They slow back down to the 5 mph lower than what you were doing.

“What are doing?! Do you hate people passing you that much?!”

Innit?

Like we get it, you’re different… you’re not shackled by the chains of conformity /s

Seriously tho, just bc you go against the grain, doesn’t make you better or deeper than the rest of us.

To a certain extent it’s okay and good to push back on stereotypes and tradition. But when you’re doing it to just “be different” or to look down on others, you’re just a butthole.

Every time Kanye does some bs on twitter or literally just commits hate speach, its always "oh but hes bipolar" or "hes still a really good just separate the art from the artist!" But whenever something new hits the media people love it until they find out the creator hates puppies or something, then they cant separate the art.

Same goes for almost every super famous actor or singer. People are willing to ignore their bad traits but draw the line when a smaller creator does something way less bad.

For example, I have a friend who hates musicals. She doesn’t actively disparage them, but makes it a point to have that known whenever they come up. I love them and have plenty of theatre songs my playlists. More than once, one will auto play and she’ll say ‘oh this is a good song!’ And upon finding out it was from a musical she’ll go ‘never mind, it does sound kind of repetitive and cliché anyway’

You JUST said you liked the song?? Is not liking musicals such a point of pride for you that you can’t even let yourself be perceived as having liked one?

Another one I see often are those pranks where people are given like a regular burger and then lied to and told it’s vegan afterward. SO many people go from singing its praises to hating it when they think it’s vegan, as if it doesn’t taste the exact same as when they didn’t think it was. Its annoying in all its forms.

Edit: accidentally implied the prank was giving someone a vegan burger and revealing the truth afterwards, when I meant giving someone a regular beef burger and saying its vegan afterwards as the prank. Fixed that
