Currently leading my list, when people post vague meaningless drama on Facebook just to get attention. Things like:
"I could kill everyone right now!" or "What is wrong with people??" or "Going to bed to cry now"
...and then they sit back and watch for a few hours while other stupid people post comments like "What's wrong sweety?" , "Text me babe, what's up??"
They do this every few days or so, and no one ever catches on that it's just attention seeking BS.

^Doesn't Facebook have some sort of muting feature? And... you follow teenagers? First one that comes to mind... People talking loudly on the bus/ train. I'm not interested in your life story. I'm not interested in your political opinions. I'm not interested in learning about how great you are. I wish I could afford better noise-cancelling headphones, but until then, would you be a darling and try not to be louder than my music?

^Doesn't Facebook have some sort of muting feature? And... you follow teenagers? Probably that's what adds to the issue....one is in her 30s and one in her late 40s. You'd think they'd have grown up a bit by now.

Preaching or politics in music. Music is my escape from that shit!

^Hmm... I love this song. Got it live the last couple of times I saw them and it was amazing. And, as Lemmy says, it's about politicians...
This is great too:
Oh, yeah, this too:

People who expect you to work for free. And say that asking to be paid for your work is "whoring". Or that it's outrageous to pretend you love what you do if you want to make money out of it.

Currently, my pet peeves involve people on my Facebook feed:
"If you voted for Donald Trump, you are a racist, sexist, misogynistic, bleepity bleep bleep bleep. You can unfriend me."
"Time to get rid of the electoral college!"
"Don't blame me, I voted Bernie!"
Granted, I'm a Republican, so I'm sure my bias has glazed over Republican BS on Facebook too. But holy crap, I'm sick of this stuff. It's slowed down since Thanksgiving last week, but still trickles in every now and then.

I may have mentioned this before, but I hate it when I ask a question and people answer what they imagine I wanted to ask. I know what I wanted to ask. It's right there, in that fucking question.
Now I've started to include explanations of what I'm not interested in when I ask the question, but, somehow, I still always miss something.

Gee, judging by how much I've posted here lately, I must seem so pissed-off-istic these day... I have another one. A holiday one. Christmas (and whatever other holiday) hampers! So now every store has holiday shit right at the entrance. Everything... toys, Christmas decorations, sweets, booze... one store nearby even has a fucking piano with a 5m tree next to it right as you go in! And yes, they're for sale. Anyway, in the food and beverages section... Christmas hampers! The most frustrating things they can sell. The tiniest basket has at least 5 items inside and the cost is over 100. The biggest ones end up being in the thousands. The basic one is a bottle of some kind of alcohol, a bag of coffee, some chocolate thing, some biscuit or related thing, some kind of sweet Christmas bread thing. Some have more of each... I've seen hampers with 15 items or more. The items inside are almost never available to buy individually. I can't recall ever wanting more than two items for a hamper. I'm not going to buy the whole damn thing, never did - it's way too expensive, I have no use for the rest of the stuff and I even if I were into regifting or reselling, I still wouldn't want to buy some of the things in there for ethical reasons. But there's often that one thing, occasionally two, that I'd really like, I keep seeing every time I go in the damn store because they have to place this stuff right at the entrance... but it's only sold as part of a Christmas hamper and I can't buy it.

I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but for some reason "could of" always bugs me. And for some other reason, it bugs me even more because I realize the mistake comes from people using the perfectly acceptable contraction "Could've"

Another seasonal one: snow falling on websites. I'm trying to read the damn text! I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but for some reason "could of" always bugs me. And for some other reason, it bugs me even more because I realize the mistake comes from people using the perfectly acceptable contraction "Could've" Aaand... you've managed to make me check my text above.

People trying to please everyone and then lamenting about how everyone expects them to do this and that, how they get asked all sorts of intrusive questions and all that.
Let's get one thing clear: people won't bug you if you've taught them your answer is going to be "go fuck yourself!" at best.
Yes, you're burning bridges that way. Yes, you may be losing opportunities.
But at the end of the day, it's a choice you make. Be a fucking adult and deal with the consequences.

People who stop right before getting on an escalator and taking too much time to get on it when there's a line of people or just me for that matter waiting to get on the damn thing and get where there going.
I also hate when people slow down to text in the same scenario at an escalator, stairways or doorways for that matter. Get the fuck out of the way of the people behind you who are trying to get where they're going. Stop being so conceited to think the world stops for you and your stupid text.
I also hate it when I'm on an elevator going down, especially after a long days work ready for bartime, when you guessed it the elevator stops, no one gets on, or you think no one as the doors begin to close and texter idiot not minding his or her surroundings finally decides to pick his or her head and rush to reopen the doors and get on. Hey I didn't want to be encumbered by stopping at your floor to begin with let alone having the stop prolonged by your head being buried in your damn phone and not paying attention to the world around you!
How about this cell phones in general. I go back to Ana's example of idiots bringing you into their life by announcing to the world everything that's going on with them. Anyone ever notice 99% those people are doing it in a goddamn cell phone.

^ I probably posted this before, but I wonder how many people have missed the love of their lives because they were staring at their phones?
