There’s a silent universal nod for what things people commonly find irritating. Like, when someone’s loudly gobbling a mouthful, or picking their teeth with bare hands (worse, braces!), or when a person in front of you is biting their nails like they were some salty caramel popcorn. Apologies for ruining whatever it is that you were eating.
But people are so much more complex than that. You see, among the universally annoying and “no, we won’t be friends after that” list stands a bunch of very subtle little things that for many mortal ones, like you and me, don’t even raise an eyebrow, but for others, provoke a full-on breakdown.
So let’s dive deep into the sea of stuff people find annoying, although often totally irrational.

Wait, who invited the volume monster?
When the TV show you're watching goes to an ad and the volume goes from reasonable to incredibly loud without having changed the volume.
Rus Kus 4 years ago
Yes! And it's impossible to set a comfortable volume for the whole movie if I watch in headphones. Either I can't hear dialogues or I'm deafened by music. Maybe I can't hear dialogues because of constant music pieces so it's a vicious cycle

The Volume Battle Nobody Wins
Having to watch movies with your thumb on the volume buttons on the remote - have to turn it up to hear talking, then its immediately too loud for action sequences and wakes up the kids. Movie night ends before it even starts.
Same applies to TV shows when the commercials are louder than the show you're watching.

Or when the music is mixed too high against the dialogue so you can't understand what's being said. And there's no way to fix that except turning on the captions, which is not very satisfactory. STOP THE DAMN MUSIC

This is why you watch movies with surround sound. Dialogue is always center speaker and the rest can be tuned down.
Scagsy 4 years ago (edited)
In theory, yes. In practice, nope. We set up our (quite expensive) home cinema speakers with the calibration microphone in order to define speaker distance and volume. We have now done this three times. It doesn't matter which setting we use, it's always far too loud when something blows up and far too quiet when somebody is speaking. It's all relative and has little to do with your setup (unless you can afford a setup like they have at the cinema).

I had this happen with a guy from my school. I wear a lot of gay pride, women’s rights, pro-science, acceptance, Black Lives Matter, etc. shirts to school. He noticed my shirt and began making fun of it to his friends. I ignored him, but he came and sat down on the bench next to me. I moved away from him, but he kept coming closer. It made me really uncomfortable, and his friends were telling me to slap him (I didn’t but I wanted to 😂). He then insisted I give him a high-5 and when I refused (THIS IS COVID) thus embarrassing him, he called me racist ( while I have a Black Lives Matter shirt on 🤔).

Oh my god, at school initially you had to fill in a form of what you wanted for lunch and the cafeteria ladies would deliver it to your classroom bubbles, but then my school decided that it was too Covid-y so it was abolished and now you had to go up to the canteen at a specific time depending on your year group. Except, it was a five minute slot for years 8-14 so that meant that the cafeteria was PACKED. I didn't get to go to lunch until 12:40 and by the time I actually got my food and returned to my bubble it would be 12:55 aka 5 minutes until the end of lunch. And the girls in my school didn't follow any of the Covid guidelines so whenever I'd inch forward in the queue to try to social distance, they'd step forward as well and I'd be trapped because the person in front was too close as well.

Johnny 4 years ago
The problem is that there's no universal design for chargers, some have the main body off to the side so you can put them side by side in a normal power strip, but if your power strip has the outlets rotated, then those will still cover multiple outlets. I've seen some power strips with rotatable outlets so you can choose the orientation, but I usually solve this with a "squid" type power cable that has a outlets on short pieces of cable so you can plug in any size power adapter.

Even though my last job included having to work with those wretched self-checkouts, I refuse to use them. I will stand in line before I use one. I have also been known to leave a basket of merchandise in the aisle and walk out because that is all that was available when I was ready to leave. The way I see it is if I take the time to go to a store and select the items I need, the least the store can do is to provide a live cashier on a real register to ring out my selections. If I want to check myself out, I'll stay home and purchase everything online and have it delivered, but I don't always have that kind of time since it would have to come by UPS, FedEx or the post office because I live outside of all delivery areas except for those three.

Oh, yes, volume! The idea that you can have multiple departments sharing the same space because there are no walls is insane. Who thought it would be a good idea to put the Sales Team only a few desks down from Finance?! HR can't have any confidential conversations, or look up confidential information on their screens because anyone wandering by can see it, so they book out every single meeting room for most of the working week just so they can do their actual jobs. And open plan means you can fit more desks in, so the inbound call centre staff are jammed in tighter than economy class - our fire evacuation times are dreadful.

Sometimes, it is not someone trying to one up you. Sometimes, it's people trying to relate to YOUR story or experience by sharing THEIR story or experience. Unless, of course, they start by saying, "I got one better than that..." Then I would totally agree that's annoying as hell.

I once read that some people do this in an attempt to “fit in,” because they’re trying to show they have something in common with you… they’re not really trying to upstage you. So, now when it happens to me, I say, “Wow. Let me share more about my experience and then you can tell me more about yours.” If they’re truly trying to one-up you, they won’t be interested in listening to anything more you have to say and they’ll try to change the subject. However, if it’s an honest attempt to show commonality, you’ll be able to get a whole conversation going!

It really depends how you define pessimism. If it's the good old sarcastic jokes, they help you cope with this situation you don't want to be in. Also, when there's a problem, it needs to be addressed. I dislike constant meaningless complaints too, but the "just shut up and work" is a bit of an unhealthy and kinda dangerous attitude. Meanwhile, forced optimism is annoying too. It feels insensitive.

Turned back to find Laurel and dumped the entire pot into a carraffe and was going to take it back to his desk. His response to the flat, unfriendly stare? "Buddy, you need to calm down.

It depends on context. When a last minute thing comes up, or something goes unexpectedly goes wrong.

Naïve optimism along colleques can be just as obnoxious. No, that is not going to work, and just pressing on is going to waste alot of time and resources. It will often create a mess that I would prefer to not have to clean up. When it is foreseeable that what you are proposing is going to fail, just stop and think it though and come up with a proper plan, instead of criticising me for being the pessimist. It is called experience and can protect you from a lot of harm, and get you to the goal more easily. It ought to be a more valued asset instead of being viewed as a buzzkill.

I think it really depends. The team I work in is lovely, and if, like today, I'm struggling with motivation because I'm overheated in my little home office and i've not slept well, I can tell my team and they'll help me where they can. Just like I'll help them if they're struggling and I'm OK. If we all just 'shut up and did our jobs' we'd all be a lot less happy at work. On the other hand, I've worked with people who would just moan about everything and everything which is exhausting.

Which isn't clever, because if their headlights are already blinding you , you won't be able to see anything when they really switch on their high beams in retaliation. The best way to warn them that their alignment is off is to flash a few times. Experienced drivers will have it fixed asap.

When you work for a government entity, they get X dollars per year. The next year, if they don't spend it, it gets cut to what they did spend. SO... they waste materials and goods etc just show they can show it was spent to get that same allotment. Example: Why my unit bought 200 copies of Photoshop when all they had to do was buy one and an enterprise license. Would have been 1/3 to 1/2 the price. What happened to all of them? 3 Discs, 3 manuals and the codes were kept. Everything else went in the crusher. Your tax dollars at work.

Actually it was more than that. Airlines also carry government mail. If a plane is diverted or doesn't take off when it should, the government mail is immediately removed and placed on a plane leaving and going to the same location. In addition cargo that is carried by passenger planes is not left on the tarmac. Passenger planes do carry cargo, not as much as "cargo planes" but they do carry "high value" cargo.

Not Your Project, Guys
During May, I had 3 guys hit on me hard through the online games. They know nothing about my personality, didn't bother to ask, but just kept wanting pictures and personal information and trying to insert themselves into whatever I'm doing.
One of them would not stop pushing his sexuality onto me until I blocked him. The other two treat me like a little fragile girl in need of rescuing. Dudes, I'm fine! Stop! It's such a waste of time and I'm practising being less polite and passive about it.

IMHO--men respond to directness-- be blunt and short. This is how they talk to each other. being nice = (in their head)= there are doing something right because nice is a positive response = repeating that behavior. So i suggest saying "No" and "no-- you jerk" or if you are feeling saucy "eat a bag of d..ks'" then saying nothing further. Try to drop the things we women say like "I don't want to sound mean" or "I'm sorry but .." Treat them like an annoying kid brother who is bugging the frick out of you!! :) go for it!!

Why the fast lane feels like a slow curse
People who go 10 under the speed limit in the fast lane. Seriously move over

What about people who, unnecessarily, use the slow lane as their special passing lane because they are more SPECIAL than anyone else on the road? Even better are those EXTRA SPECIAL people that use a turn lane as their own special passing lane, especially when that turn lane is a left turn lane/highway entrance lane which they are approaching on a blind hill. Moral of the story, there are far more asshole drivers driving 10%-50% above posted speed limit than there are driving 10MPH under posted speed limit. Unfortunately BP limits characters so I can't go into red light runners and side street, i.e. neighborhood, speeding.

If it's not my machine, I'll try to help and walk them through it, but after a bit if there's still the disconnect, I'll ask "mind if I drive?" and they usually gladly let me. I think it's polite, not assuming they can't, but at the same time avoids the frustration that I'm sure both of us feel in those situations.

Exactly! It's best to let someone walk through the process if they can since they're more likely to remember it, thus saving you future explanations. If they're just not getting it or getting frustrated, they'll almost always be happy to let you take over.

When Jimmy Carter was President, he decided that we [the American Public] were using too much energy. So he demanded that ANY AND ALL buildings that received ANY Federal monies could not be heated past 65 degrees in the winter. It was the worst winter we ever had. The building where I worked was so well insulated that with the heaters turned off the ambient temp was 72 degrees. BUT they sent out "building heat inspectors" and regardless of WHY the building was over 65 degrees, you lost your federal monies. SO TO COMPLY THEY TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONING TO GET THE TEMPS DOWN. People brought electric heaters, electric blankets, whatever to stay warm. I was a GTA and my desk was right under the air condition vent. I caught pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchitis, sinusitis and literally threw my back out coughing.

People pushing my wheelchair without asking. Sometimes they're being helpful, sometimes they just want you out of their way, but even if I'm struggling with a slope or a curb, a "here, let me give you a hand" or "may i help you?" would be nice.

Blind people often have a similar problem. I was guiding two men through London and in the tube station someone grabbed one of them and dragged him through the ticket barrier while I got my ticket out of my bag (we'd been staying the night in London after a meeting so had a lot of stuff with us). This person didn't ask. All people have to do is ask if someone needs assistance, it really isn't that difficult. Sorry you have that experience all too often.

One thing that bugs me and hurts, when you're trying to pull your covers up and you end up punching yourself in the face.

People who get off a train and immediately stop right in front of the door to orient themselves on the platform (so that those behind them can‘t get off the train).

I hate it when people stand blocking the doors when they're trying to get on. I've lost track of the amount of times I've loudly said 'you can get on quicker if you actually let us get off'

People who think mental health disorders are ‘trendy’ and ‘quirky’. No, they really are not.

People killing spiders for no other reason that they don't like them. I don't mean people who have a real arachnophobia, I mean people who just don't like them and squish'em dead therefore. What the ...? They just want to live. To them, their life is no more and no less important than ours to us ... if I see them first, they're evacuated, if the cat finds them, they're snacked, but she's a cat ... that's something else. People, grown up people who just don't like spiders don't have any valid reason to kill them. People with a true arachnophobia may seek help, as a disorder of that kind isn't fun in any way, I think it would be best for them, too ... and, usually, they freak out and evade the spider's surrounding - to kill them, you gotta be close. Catching them with a glass and paper works flawless, reduces the risk of accidental amputations, and is not asked too much from an adult.

all bugs really... I almost always try to rescue and put living creatures outside if they're indoors and I don't want them there...

People blasting their Spotify playlist on the beach. I came to enjoy the waves and relax on the beach, not listen to your shitty music that all sounds the same that you can listen to literally any other time.

For me it's people who stop dead as soon as they cross the street and get onto pavement, completely oblivious to everyone tripping up and stumbling behind them in the road trying to get round them.

I have this friend that I let sleep over a lot, I buy snacks that we eat during the night, guess what she does to clean off the chip dust... WIPES IT ON MY BED. And she is always messing with random s**t, she wastes my makeup and paint by RUBBING IT ON MY WINDOW AND CALLING IT ART.
