Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, citizens were free to watch YouTube videos to their hearts’ desire, without being constantly bombarded with ads for fat-burning tea and companies that will help you build the perfect resume. These same residents could go to the grocery store and purchase a gallon of milk without wondering if they were going to be able to pay rent that month, and they could walk home without hearing TikToks blaring from other people's phones.

Romanticizing the past isn’t always the healthiest thing to do. But we have to admit, there are some things that have gotten way out of hand these days, so Reddit users have recently been calling them out. Below, you’ll find some of these annoyances that likely grind your gears too, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the things you’d like to put an end to as well!

    Why are so many staples going up by 60% or more? Supermarket brand bread has gone from $1.00 per loaf to $2.60 in 3 years. At the same time practically no workers have had pay rises outside management and many have had pay drops. Management rates in the meantime get increases over 15% in many of the years.

    A lot of those apps are just web pages and your company has strict security measures to protect the data in their care. That data will be personal so a data breach is bad news. Especially in Europe and UK where a GDPR breach can cost millions if the company is large enough.

    I think it's because some "activists" have been spreading what used to be false information just to get people's attention, and now that it's gotten bad enough for it to be true no-one believes them anymore. It's also not helped by governments telling people that they need to recycle and shower less, while large companies and some countries spew out more toxic waist and fumes than an entire country of recycling people could negate

    I don't think we can stop it now and I wonder if really ever could. The earth has been warming for the last 100,000 years. It is part of a natural cycle. Changing climate moved forced the big herds out of Africa and our ancient ancestors followed them to every corner of the planet. Melting glacier water allowed for masive ancient settlements in places that are deserts now. Now, 12000 years later I think we need to stop focusing on stopping climate change and work on managing its impact. It's going to be hotter. Storms are going to get bigger and carry more rain. We're going to experience more droughts. Some animal species are going to die off as their ecological niches disappear. Coastal waters will rise submerging some settled areas. We need to focus on mitigating these things because the train has left the station on climate change. It's a done deal now and we aren't going to stop it. We just need to survive it.

    Each generation has consumed exponentially more than the previous. Your generation consumes a *lot* more than mine did. I grew up in a household where we had an under the counter fridge-freezer, no dishwasher, landline phone only, no washer, dryer, air-conditioner. Single car households were the norm. Veggies were eaten in season until you were sick of them. I had school uniform, one pair of jeans, one pair of shorts, a dress and a few t-shirts. We were considered middle middle class and were living in a nice suburb of London. I'm only 53. How many people of Generation Z would be prepared to live this way?

    Well, depends on the definition. "Cancel culture" can be both a shorthand for "unrepentant bigots finally facing consequences for their actions" and "people getting backlash for some stupid sh#t they did 20 years ago". Only one of those is good / justified.

    1 million up votes. My husband has a real service dog that lived with the trainer for the 1st year of his life getting training, we would visit him once a month. You can tell a real service dog from fake in a milisecond once you have a real one & now how they react to situations. Here in the US there is no card saying the service dog is legit so as soon as someone says I have this card I call BS. Your service dog shouldn't be barking & riding in the grocery store cart BECKY! Emotional support animals are not service animals. A service animal must preform a task for instance my husbands protects him during a seizure

    Forget actual facts. Every news outlet avoids doing any actual journalism because there's no money in it. Instead they copy/paste AP stories (edited to put themselves, their advertisers and the politicians they've bought & paid for) and listicles from reddit.

    The way people treat hospitality and retail staff. This week I had a woman lose her 💩 at me when I had to tell her she couldn’t take food out of the restaurant, I’ve had people ask for drinks but basically demand them and not even say please, I’ve had tables let their kids make a total mess of the table and floor and show no remorse because that’s what the staff are paid to do

    Part of the problem is that politicians are the new celebrities. It's all about how popular they are with the social media crowd. And, then there's the fact so many high ranking politicians spend a large amount of time on those social media platforms acting like children. I've seen governors, senators etc literally making fun of each other over their choice of wardrobe or what kind of car they drive, just to try to generate likes and shares.

    Absolutely everything being a scam or a con. From MLMs to literally fake products for "sale", to the ever increasing barrage of fake accounts trying to trick people into handing over money or credit card details, everything is a hustle. It now takes effort to sift through the c**p to find real things.

    Blame food companies for loading up their food with sugar, fat, salt and worthless calories; blame the fact that healthy food is pricy and that your average min-wage, 2/3-job worker doesn't have the time or budget to prepare it. Blame increasing rates of depression, which makes even the most basic care tasks incredibly difficult, to say nothing of trying to exercise or maintain a diet. Blame long working hours requiring workers to sit for 8+ hours a day. I'm so f*cking tired of obese people being treated like dog$hit under the veneer of "concern for [your] health" or "the strain on the healthcare system" with 0 thought for the fact that these are human beings just as deserving of dignity and respect as non-obese people, or how they got to be obese in the first place.

    When I first went crazy, it really wasn't a 'thing'. I was an outcast, a pariah. We were supposed to suck it up. Now we all discuss our mental health so much that my last therapist asked if I had been diagnosed with my issues or merely thought I had them. Okay that's a downside to freedom to talk about it, but the fact it's not immediate hospitalisation and EST is a big positive.

    Real estate prices I'm finally earning a decent enough living to be able to own (and will be moving in next summer), but still can only afford condos or townhouses, and not even in my county. Have to go about thirty miles south where it's a bit more affordable. Single family homes are all out. And for context, I net about $60K/yr and live in New Jersey. Also property taxes are insane here.

    Also, at least in the DC area, violent crimes by teenagers. It’s insane. Last year, a 12 year old and 14 year old killed an Uber eats driver and stole his car which they then immediately crashed. Lots of carjackings here. A lot of these kids are on the edge of their seat to start s**t too—they will sit in the metro and be extremely loud or knock into you multiple times waiting for you to say something so that they can then attack you. So no one says anything about their s**t behavior anymore for fear of severe injury or death. Amazing!

    Amusement park prices, both admission and the prices inside the park. We went to Cedar Point last month. Tickets were $125, parking another $30. $16 for a funnel cake, $10/game, and it was literally $50 for 4 small frozen yogurts. Was bullsh**ting with one of the employees and mentioned the absurd prices, and she told me that she would have to work for 2 hours to afford one funnel cake. The prices are audacious on their own, but knowing that they aren’t even properly compensating their employees after all that price gouging is absolutely infuriating.

    Game companies thinking they can release a game bit by bit through DLC rather than just straight-up giving us the full product, a DLC is just supposed to be an extra add-on, the game should still be playable even without it but most AAA game companies would rather let us play 25% of a game and have us pay extra for the rest.
