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.”
Intolerance.
For me it’s this, and the Dutch.
How paradoxical.
No it isn’t. Tolerance is a social contract; if you don’t abide by it you don’t get to be protected by it. Simple as.
Just riffing on a popular concept. I totally agree.

Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
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.
At this point, everything.
Hear you there!
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
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.
Botulinum toxin
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!
I used to do this when I felt unwelcome (I actually was). Maybe you could make sure your friends know you really would like them to come
Oh they definitely do know they are welcome, but I appreciate the advice!
Wood in my mouth; I struggle with popsicle sticks and chopsticks as a result.
People being rude to customer facing employees.
People accusing me when I’m not the one responsible
Bullshit
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.
Do other cafinated drinks have the same effect?
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
Hmm, interesting, that is indeed quite a mystery.
Hypocrisy
Religious people sense of rightness
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.
