There might be certain issues, mistakes, or potential improvements that go unnoticed by many. Yet someone who recognizes them might quite on the contrary be determined to correct them no matter the cost of their time and energy.
And they might be right if we think about someone like Ignaz Semmelweis discovering that by disinfecting their hands healthcare workers could drastically reduce the incidence of infection in obstetrical clinics. Yet it might be something smaller, for example pointing out the fact that bees have six legs rather than four!

Social media has been one of the most damaging things to ever happen to our societies mental health.
I'm sooooooo happy I was not a young person in the age of social media.
Burgers should be wider not taller, if you need to put a skewer through it its no longer a burger its a keebab.

It is not impolite to correct someone who is spreading misinformation, regardless of whether they’re lying or just plain incorrect.
Also nobody should be obligated to "respect the opinions" of bigots and generally hateful people. "Trans women are predatory men" is not an opinion. "Illegal immigrants should be put to detention camps" is not an opinion.
(Able) People who don’t return their shopping carts are s****y people.
If someone is behind me, I will always throw my arm back and hold the door. The amount of times people just let it shut in my face has me irate.
I had walked through the doorway, and saw an elderly man approaching. Naturally, I held the door open for him. He looked me up and down and said, "Thank you, sir." Placing my hand on his forearm, I gently said, "You need to book a sight test if you think I am a man." ....For some reason, it appears he took it as an affront to his masculinity that a woman would hold a door open for him. In my world, people hold doors open for others. (Edited to add: this man's sight was good enough for him to drive a car. He had a good look and me, and then chose to call me 'sir'. I'm a small woman with long hair, and I was wearing a summer dress. He chose to be rude and sexist.)
It's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less"! If you could care less then you care!
Cut the god damn tails off my shrimp before putting it in pasta, I don’t care what the French say.
For pasta French also cut the tails. There are some dishes, where the shrimps are the main protein, and must be shown, so they are with tails served. But in paste or rice dishes, where they are mixed with other ingredients, it's cut. You suppose to can eat the dish as full, and not search for unedible pieces in every bite.
Every single time someone posts a picture or article about Istanbul, I comment "not Constantinople." I will usually get downvoted to hell for it, but I think it's hilarious. So I'll die on that hill.

Tipping for carryout is the biggest scam in restaurant history.
Mandatory tipping in the US restaurants is the biggest one. Pay your servers a 25-30 bucks/hour, and pay your cooks a 30-35 bucks/hour at least. No, you don't have to raise prices, because with these hourly pays, the guest will pay likely the same amount as now with 20% tip "obligatory". Your greed will just loose. Don't even try me to shame into paying your staff!
Burgers come WITH fries. Stop trying to charge me an extra $7 for 1/4 of a potato’s worth of shoestring fries that get cold before they even reach the plate just because you put truffle oil or some other b******t on them.
HATE when restaurants do this. $11 for the burger, you want fries? $5 for plain fries...
Utensils need to be at the END of a buffet.
So many places put them at the beginning of a buffet. You don't know what utensils you'll need yet and then you have to carry them around the whole time. Madness.
If you are on the highway and you try to move over two lanes to sneak into a packed exit right before the guard rail, you have already missed your f*****g turn. Go to the next exit and turn around or try another route.
Before anyone brings it up, no, I am not talking about merging. I am talking about seeing a long line of people waiting to get off an exit, and you breaking the law by crossing solid lines to cut in because you couldn't be f****d to read the signs for the last two miles telling you which lane you need to be in for your exit.
What gets me are the people who see the long line up, keep driving all the way to the front and then try to force their way in.
Don't force me to download your f*****g app.
Went to Chipotle, at 6pm. They told me they weren't accepting anything but online orders. This had happened to me once during covid due to supply issues so I asked if they were low on food. They said no. I asked if they were short staffed or something. They said no. So I said "you're telling me you can't give me the food that is literally sitting in between us, by giving you this money that is literally in my hand unless I have a smart phone and make an account and type my order in?" They said that's correct. So yeah, for absolutely no reason besides wanting to sell my data probably, they're willing to lose customers.
Another time I went into a Firehouse Subs that has had open dine in for over a year since covid died down. The employees looked at me like I was crazy or trespassing when I walked in. One girl was like "hi?" I said "hi..." She said "are you here for an online pickup?" I said "no, I'd like to order and eat my food here, your dining room is open right?" She said "oh...ok.." Dining room didn't have chairs on the tables or anything, it looked normal.
Why? How did we get here as a society?
Because people weirdly want to do away with people for some strange, self-damning reason.
Everyday and every day are different. And not interchangeable.

People need to stop bringing animals into the grocery store. No Brenda, your s**t-bull mix that lunges at everything isn't a service animal.

More like your chihuahuas. They don't need to be in the store, they especially don't need to be in the cart people put food in! Leave them home.
I adore my dogs but I've never felt the need to take them grocery shopping with me. I don't understand why this is a thing now. Unless you are blind or otherwise disabled and legitimately need a service animal, leave Fido at home.
I have epilepsy and it's asshats like Ok_Concentrate_6887 that stop me in public places and tell me I can't have a dog or that my dog isn't a service animal without a red vest(they don't have to wear one.) She's better trained at controlling her behavior and emotions than a lot of grown humans.
So I assume your dog warns you of seizures. Great, so you have a legitimate reason to have it around. Now remember please, that there are a lot of people who find it cool to pretend some s**t, just to be able to do as they please. I agree with others here, the issue is that real service animals aren't registered. Good luck, btw, from a fellow epileptic.

Who does something like that? Although I will say, I'll take the clean dog sitting in a purse any day over the sick kids running around and coughing and playing with the produce. Thanks, asshat parents.
Service dogs aren’t emotional support animals and they’re not pets. Unfortunately we often have conflicting accommodations. In the US, the ADA helps with deciphering this, but it always comes at the expense of the “lessor” accommodation. A legally blind person or narcoleptic person has a medical condition that falls under the narrow scope of disability. Their right to use a service animal would legally supersede the accommodation of some with a medical condition such as asthma or allergies. Unless, although wholly unlikely, the asthma or allergy was some how defined as an ADA protected disability. It’s not fair, but this is what happens when accommodations conflict. Someone loses out.
Support animals under any description should be issued a LEGAL identification card that is given once training is completed. It doesn't have to say a single word about the owners disability, just be issued by the government that it is a trained and licensed service animal. No card? No entry. Period.
Load More Replies... People with asthma or allergies deserve to be able to shop too, and not have to worry about possibly dying if there is pet allergens on the food they eat.
Mine stays in the truck and seranades me as soon as I come back in sight. My pit used to yodel the whole time I was in the store.
I have never been afraid of pit bulls until this past weekend. A person brought in their pit bull into my job. And dogs are not allowed unless they are service dogs but no one gives a s**t. So the dog was not a service dog at all, it was just in a collar and a leash. So I walk past and I said "Hi puppy aren't you cute" and it growled at me. And the guy just laughed at me. He thought it was funny. That's not funny. I was going to tell them that you shouldn't have your dog in here after that incident but I didn't say anything.
A dog that growled is a dog that didn't bite instead. Dogs growl to communicate their boundaries or discomfort. It's a good thing because it means they inhibited the urge to bite. We're slowly learning to encourage growls. They communicate something important that might have got you bitten. Maybe the dog us scared of humans. Maybe it's traumatized. Maybe it's in pain. Never approach an unknown dog. Stand at a distance and let them come to you if they want to. The dog wasn't the creature who was wrong in this scenario. I volunteer at a shelter. They never discipline growls. They discipline volunteers by teaching us how to approach potentially nervous dogs slowly and listen when they growl.

I sometimes want to be a cop just to arrest people for bringing dogs into stores and people that drive with dogs on their laps.
If they normalize emotional support pets, I'm going everywhere with a pet grizzly bear
Saw a woman put a collie-sized dog in a cart at Walmart and hold it down. Definitely not a service dog. She was afraid he'd jump out of the cart.
Thank you! I seriously want to start a petition in the US so people have to have a certification card to bring their dogs into the stores. No, Bethany, your f*cking yappy little purse pooch is NOT a service animal, no Mr. Major A*****e at Home Depot, your German Shepherd that just took a s**t on aisle 12 is NOT a service animal, no Entitled Karen, that ugly f*cking PUG that just pissed all over the house plants is NOT a service animal.
And tell me just how you control an animal that needs to pee or s**t??? AND who the hell is going to clean it up - IN A SANITATRY WAY??????????????
I have no problem with service animals. The problem is people who are too entitled to leave Muffy at home while they shop and suddenly call it an emotional support animal. If you need an ESA to go shopping, you need to stay home snowflake. Pets stayed home where they belong for centuries, only recently has it become a problem.
I have an alert dog. She is tiny, but does her job VERY well. Don't tell me I can't have her protection with me.
And don't wear your s****y horsey boots and wellies into the supermarket.
Imagine putting a toddler with allergies into a cart someone had their little rat dog in...dander everywhere.
Not to mention, some dogs carry poison oak/ivy oil on their fur, and that can transfer into the cart. I've gotten smeared a few times in a similar fashion.

Amen! Your little sweetie has no business in a shopping cart (where other shoppers place their food), in a grocery store. I don't know why the management refuses to enforce the law on this. Dogs are not known for washing their paws after trotting over who-knows-what, or gargling after cleaning their nether regions.
The staff at my City Market says it would take more hours in a day than they have to confront dog owners who swear their little angel dog is a certified registered support dog for something and to try and get proof to tell them they can't come in. If it is too hot or too cold my pugs stay at home in comfort instead of being hauled inside a store to irritate people who think a grocery or bakery or sandwich shop should be pet free and not spreading hair and germs all over their food!
If I could upvote this a million times I would. People slapping on a vest they bought on Amazon, and jack-assing around the store with their unsocial pets are the bane of my existence Nothing to do with the breed in any way shape or form. My ASD therapy dog is a Cane Corso, but he's also professionally trained and nationally certified service animal.
Well-trained, well-behaved animals that are either service animals or CERTIFIED emotional support animals, are no problem. Even Mrs Wealthy’s little lapdog doesn’t bother me as long as they’re calm and quiet. So far, I haven’t seen any badly behaved animals in any of the stores or restaurants around where I live, so I guess I’ve been lucky so far.
This is an exclusive to a certain "class" of people...called nouveau riche.
