People who think theyβre an island. I donβt know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and theyβre part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesnβt matter if itβs 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.

People being rude to customer facing employees.
Cars in cities.
You don't realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.
I don't need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.
Inconsideration. Drives me absolutely crazy.
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."
Try to get a quick lunch, sit down to eat, asshole in corner listening to tiktok at full volume, imagine murdering this pos through the entire meal.
His name is Lou and he drives me insane...
The full volume is annoying enough, but shit like tiktok is like listening to someone change the channel every 5 seconds... And at full volume...

my CAT. is so, cute!
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
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 donβt care at all.
I once had a date where the guy threw a candy's wrapper to the floor while we were on the way to his house and went "oops π" as if it was funny or cute. I wish i would've picked it up when he didn't notice and hide it in his house.
God that has raised my blood pressure. What a dickhole
Lactose
At this point, everything.
Hear you there!
AI
Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
Alcohol Weed Lactose
Yeah Iβm no fun.
Bullying, weather it is physical, intellectual or emotional...it just grinds my gears.
Wood in my mouth; I struggle with popsicle sticks and chopsticks as a result.
People who call putting an ipad in front of their kid "parenting".
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!
If they do that more than a few times Iβm not inviting them anymore
People who micromanage, either directed at me or someone else
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!
People misusing words
Misusing them in what weigh? Like using an uncorrect word? Or using a word that has a different consternation than the one they meant to use?
Weed
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.
are you ok
My illness is chronic but my tits are iconic!
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.
Ive been through a fraction of this, and I can only imagine how not nice it must be to be debilitated like this.
I wish you the best for the illness, and congratulations for the tits.
Coffee :(
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.
Arrogance
People accusing me when I'm not the one responsible
Bullshit
As my mom beautifully puts it : "I'm racist against idiots"
Tequila, takes very little compared to other spirits to make me nauseous.
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.
