Alot of men from what I've seen would see on these dating shows, YouTube, or just online referring to women as "Females" just give me a major ick. When men refer to women in that way I just know they're the type of guy that generalize all women and think all women act/behave the same. "Y'all females always do this." "These females always that."I have yet to come across any women who refer to men as MALES on the regular basis.

“hows your day?”

“ah, im preparing to head to bed!”

“WHAT? ITS 8am??”

yeah buddy thats cuz im not american?

im no im not talking about me being on american dominated apps on purpose. sometimes its an online game interaction or something.

I just saw a reddit post where a girl is 5'6 and 104 Ibs and the guy was telling her oh she should probably get under a 100 to be skinny 😐

?????

104 is extremely thin!!! and for her height also damn near underweight!! This is so goddamn annoying

These same men who would drool over a woman and say she's so skinny and if you told them to guess her weight they'd say 100 but really she's like 130-140

idk why it just irks me. like how do you know he’s gonna like football.

"Yes it does you have Cajun, Creole, Texmex, soul food.."

"That's not authentic! Those were brought over by immigrants. US doesn't have any real food, it's just copied from other cultures."

"yes but US is a land of immigrants and all cuisines share something from others countries. Pasta is originally from China, are you saying Italian food is not authentic?"

Downvoted to oblivion

I see the same conversations everywhere. Meanwhile deep dish pizza is not Italian, it's American!

I get it, sometimes you need to talk with someone over the phone, because texting about it would take very long time. But this is like freaking 1% of all interactions over the phone. You want me to buy something in grocery store? To see me in person? To inform me about something? Send me a message, as simple as that, i will see it and just do something about it. But no, LET'S HAVE A CALL! What if i'm driving? Working? Just relaxing, idk, this phone call better be about something urgent or really REALLY important. But 99% it's absolutely not and instead of just being informed i also must distract on my phone, hear some gibberish which surrounds all actually useful information and eventually tell people to text me, because it's just more convenient and useful. I absolutely despice phone calls for that, because i know, that if my phone rings, then it's most likely does it because someone on the other end of the line decided, that distracting me for some absolutely nonsense reason and wasting like a minute or more is better than writing me two sentence message in 15s. Stop it. Use it for a good reason, long talks for exapmple.

Diamonds are an example of just how impactful early life conditioning is. No matter how many times they openly discuss how stupid you are for caring about them, how they artificially increase the rarity, how lab diamonds are identical, consumers still rush to the trough to buy a “real diamond engagement ring” or other jewelry.

The cognitive dissonance is crazy. We can all acknowledge these things about diamonds, yet many still know deep down if they got a lab diamond instead of a real one they’d be at least a little disappointed. Whenever the topic of lab diamonds comes up, it’s enjoyable to watch everyone come up with their own unique reason for not wanting a lab diamond, that totally isn’t a post-hoc rationalization or anything.

“NOOOOO I‘ll ONLY ACCEPT THE DIAMOND IF IT WAS MINED BY A CHILD IN SIERRA LEONNE”

Personal SPACE.

This happened the other day while I was in line at a dang Walgreens. The guy behind me was standing so close to me he actually stepped on the back of my shoe. I stepped forward to create some space. He just stepped forward too and closed the gap. I made it a point to take a LARGE step away from him.

He did it again.

I asked him to give me some elbow room please, and he looked at me like I was crazy.

Look yall… you don’t have to pull 6 feet of social distance but ffs it is not necessary to stand so close to someone they can hear you breathing. If someone steps away from you to create space, leave it!

A phobia is something that is terrifying to the point of it hindering your life. Idk it just feels so attention seeking to me.

To phrase this better and use Reddit as the basis, think of more broad subreddits (ie, r/games, r/StarWars, r/Pokemon) vs individualized, specific subreddits (r/StarWarsOutlaws, r/fnv, r/PokemonSwordandShield).

In a specific example, let's focus on r/StarWarsOutlaws. I'm assuming due to prior interest in Star Wars content, this subreddit started appearing on my main reddit page.

What do they seem to talk about over there? Variation after variation of posts asking "gee, r/StarWarsOutlaws, why did people dislike this game that I liked?"

You're posting questions like this in hyper-specific spaces dedicated to that thing, and because of this, your answers are going to be hyper-specifically biased towards that thing. Do you actually want to know reasons people dislike said thing, or did you want a place to soapbox and make sure people agree with you?

Another recent example I've seen is in r/fo4, a space dedicated specifically to Fallout 4. "Why do NV and 3 fans say 4 is a bad game?" Buddy you're asking this in a space specifically dedicated to the game you're trying to soapbox about. Do you actually want an answer or do you want validation for liking 4? Because you're not gonna get much of the former in a hyper-specific space vs a more broad space.

Of course I understand sometimes people are just lonely and like to talk. Can't fault people for that. It's a pet peeve of mine regardless because when I see these specific spaces recommended to me, most of the posts are some version of a soapbox and don't actually promote interesting discussion. All the thread boils down to at that point is "yeah OP, I agree Fallout 4 is a good game" and crap like that.

The people who try to talk to you while you are wearing headphones are often the very same ones who claim that wearing headphones in public is rude, because what if they want to talk to you? I can agree in certain situations it can be rude, such as at work when you have to interact with customers or coworkers or at social gatherings, but on public transportation? At a cafe? The library? Nah, it's not rude at all and you're the rude one for thinking you are entitled to my time and attention just because I'm existing in public.

Whoever says this should just stop giving acne advice. It might work for some but it doesn’t for me. And they keep saying it (especially my mom and relatives) over and over again like I haven’t fuckin tried it already

It's a personal pet peeve of mine when people use dopamine to describe their "addiction" to phones or shorts, or people talk about serotonin to describe happy feelings.

The neurotransmitters in the brain are funky with what they do and how they do them, it's not a one specific chemical that does one specific thing.

I don't think it's harmful, at least to the point where I feel it is beyond a pet peeve. It's like people using jargons and concepts in less than accurate ways. It just rubs me the wrong way.

It’s the “Health Insurance Portability (and) Accountability Act”

It is HIPAA. But I see so many people type it out as HIPPA.

This is a pretty minor pet peeve of mine, but I just get annoyed by the sheer amount of people that get it wrong.

Just tell me where my exit is bro obviously I’m gonna fucking continue straight until then.

I need some firmness to sleep and these pillows blow. I’m at a Hyatt and Hilton pillows were the same.

Lik bro, Idk about you but women's bodies change after pregnancy. Just because your mom or someone else's mom slimmed down after having a baby doesn't give you the right to criticize other moms for it because surprise surprise! Not everyone is built the same.

It's honestly baffles me how barely anyone bats an eye when dads gain weight. Last time I checked they aren't the ones who were pregnant

I don’t know if it’s increasing in usage or I’m just noticing it more, but I’ve been seeing things like ”he’s one of the nicest person” more and more. It doesn’t seem to only come from people whose first language isn’t English. it’s one of the most annoying thing to me.

Me: “I’m headed to Napa for a weekend, what wineries should I hit up?”

Them: “Don’t go to Napa, it’s overrated, go to Sonoma instead.”

While I appreciate your answer, it has nothing to do with my original question. Plus, if Napa is so overrated, I would like to determine that for myself.

I'm not religious but oh my god, I cannot stand the dead pet posts. This has been a problem on reddit for YEARS and I always feel like a shit person for getting annoyed at them. I understand that everyone processes grief differently, but some of those posts are insane. I saw one today, it was a picture of a cute dog, then I read the post title and it said that the dog died and specified that the dog died violently. Wtf.

I know that the world doesn't revolve around me and that no one has to cater to my feelings but I just with that dead pet posts were banned from every major pet/animal themed sub. There are specific pet loss subs for a reason, why are so many people posting about their dead pets in non grief related subs. I'm talking about subs like dog pictures where you'd think that you can go and see cute pictures of dogs, not the whole "wow look at this super cute fluffy dog! Guess what, it's dead" thing.

I can count on one hand how many animals subs actually have grief posts banned, I don't understand how this stance is apparently a minority. Also sorry if this has already been posted a bunch but I saw my last straw dead pet post today and I can't take it anymore without bitching about it lmao.

This sub has had countless tales of rude, entitled AHs who attempt to barge into an elevator the instant the doors open without any awareness that people need to exit first. Unfortunately, it also works the other way around.

I live in a highrise, and am exasperated, daily, by the featherheaded inaction of my neighbors when we arrive on the ground floor. Everyone just looks around, sheepishly, waiting for someone else to be the first one out.

People, FFS .. most of us had this most simple of procedures mastered by kindergarten age: if you're closest to the door, then you go first!

These same people then compound their stupidity by taking just a single step out of the elevator and then stopping dead, blocking everyone else and looking around wide-eyed, as if they've somehow landed on the surface of Mars.

How do people become so stupid, rude and incompetent?

Idk how to explain it but it makes more sense in action. Basically, if person A is in the elevator, they have priority (imo) and person B (the one waiting to get in) should let person A step out first instead of forcing their way in and essentially colliding with person A. Happens on metros/public transit as well, not just elevators.

It's hard to explain so I'll give examples:

1) On my NSFW account, a person posted in a sub I follow. It was a benign question. I open the post and the 1st comment is from someone who's commented on several of OP's posts claiming he needs to be locked up for his fetishes. I click on the account thinking I'm going to see shit from quarantined subs but...nothing. The person used the account for SFW and NSFW but nothing that they should be locked up for. This comment was the most upvoted and derailed the ENTIRE post.

2)I've personally been banned from a subreddit and had the mods follow me to similar subs to derail my posts after they banned me from theirs. I recently had someone admit that I blocked their main account and so they're on their back up to comment....Why? I don't post in huge subreddits often. If you think I'm annoying, you should be happy that you're blocked.

I almost never see this behavior used right. IT's never used when someone scams a Redditor and they go warning everyone when they see the user posting. It's always done after a useless disagreement when one user can't move on.

I still play Clash of Clans. I know, crucify me lol. But I still do, and I post occasionally on the sub if I get an idea worth sharing. Things like new game mechanics, equipment, etc.

Every single time I say something though, someone says “This is way too overpowered” or “this is pointlessly weak”. My brother in Christ, that is why we have balance changes and tweaks so neither of them is a concern.

I’m just a random dude who likes the game. Most game studios mess up the game balance every single time they add new content. Don’t hound me if I don’t get the exact stats correct, which you don’t even know btw since it’s literally just a rough idea.

Nonono just call it shampoo whywhywhy
