“Man, I Freaking Hate People”: 35 Habits That Make Others Lose Their Cool
In some sense, the fact that humans still exist is nothing short of a miracle. After all, we’re not exactly the easiest species to get along with.
Just take a look at this Reddit thread, where people have gone on a rant about the things others do that drive them mad. From slow walkers and rude shoppers to buzz killers and law breakers, the list is long—and let’s be honest, probably not long enough. Check out their posts below and feel free to vent your own frustrations in the comments!

Animal cruelty and people who abuse children.
I'll never not feel enraged/sick and upset at the same time by it.
DC 1 year ago
But, don't people BECOME bad by having bad habits? Habits that put a burden on other, non-consenting, sentient beings? Slap the Kid, kick the Dog, scream at the Cat, and let Grandma marinade her butt, "because she'll forget within an hour anyway", and such? I mean ... if not the suffering we cause others to endure is what makes us bad people, what even is at all? And what we do, largely, developes into habits we repeat over and over again, maybe having decided on them by choice and rational thought, or maybe just by being used to them? One bad thing, we all do now and then. I stumbled over my cat yesterday, and I'm sure I hurt her. But, I'd never even think about kicking her, let alone regularly, I love her.

You can have your opinions on not being an animal person or not liking kids, but to do harm to them puts you in another category/level of evil, sorry not sorry

The reason we’re here is to look after the smaller and weaker; to stand up for them and protect them from the bullies out in the world—-NOT be the bullies ourselves. So if it’s an animal, or a child, or an old person, or someone in a wheelchair, or anyone at all, who is vulnerable, who is being abused, STAND UP and help them! Because one day, that vulnerable person may be YOU.

Like NO.
You don't leave a soda spilled everywhere and then not even *attempt* to clean it up.
You don't leave rolls and rolls of toilet paper all over the floor in the bathroom.
You don't leave bags of popcorn and drinks and popcorn all over a theater floor and seats.

I remember when I was younger and living in the city, I'd always wipe down my table when I left. That was pretty common in the neighborhood I lived in. It was a neighborhood filled with punks, artists, old hippies and randos like me. That was ten years ago and I moved back out to the country and where I work, people hold that mentality of "well, it's their jobs". That always kind of got under my skin. Sad fact is I revisited my old neighborhood, noticed how it changed. A lot of the old hippies either died or were forced out due to climbing costs, the artists and punks have all but disappeared and the coffee shop I used to hangout at has shut down. I miss those days.

It amazes me at how messy and trashed a movie theater can be after the show is over b/c people can't pick up their garbage and throw it away in the readily available garbage bins. Sure some popcorn will get dropped here and there, but man, leaving candy wrappers, nacho containers, cups, bags, etc. strewn all over where you sat? Shameful! And it's mostly from grown azz adults! As long as I've been working in the movie theater business, it baffles me how people can behave as if they have no home training.
Hobby Hopper 1 year ago
This is only tangentially related, but it somehow felt appropriate. The last time I went to see a movie, as soon as the show ended and the lights went up, there was a man looking for a ring he'd dropped. Cue the entire room full of strangers helping him look for his lost ring. It restored a bit of my faith in humanity. He found the ring, BTW.

In Korea before the movie they have ads that come on, they show the exit route (not the same way you come in, the exits bring you out to the lobby or even the outside of the theatre sometimes) and they also have a little cartoon reminding people to bring their garbage with them and throw it out in the cans as they exit. I never saw anyone leave garbage behind in the theatres there! I’ve always brought my garbage with me and thrown it out in the trash cans in the theatre, both in Korea and at home in Canada.

After working as a critical care nurse for years now, you’d think it would be the countless IV d**g abusers or alcoholics that’s I treat in the MICU.... but it’s not my patients that make me think that. It’s their families.
I get that *most* of the time, people are nervous for their loved ones...they don’t want to lose their parent. But I see this situation happen over and over... when it’s time, people can’t just let go.
So 95 year old nana comes in and has trouble breathing. We ask her if she would want to be intubated if necessary and says no. She doesn’t want that or CPR. But there isn’t a form and her daughter is healthcare proxy... too bad the family doesn’t respect that.
So we tube her. But her blood pressure can’t handle the sedation, so we need to start pressors. Then she develops a pneumonia, so we’ve got to pump her with antibiotics. But oops, too bad she’s already gone septic. Start some more pressors, who care if she loses a few fingers and toes in the process, we’ve got a BP right!? Get some bedside dialysis going too, might as well. Until ultimately, we tell the family it’s getting to be futile and we should really just make her comfortable for her own sake.
But no. They don’t agree. F**k your years of schooling and experience. So nana codes. I do chest compressions and break all of her ribs in the process. We shock her and slam her with d***s and fluids for a half hour until eventually there’s literally nothing more to do.
I’m sorry I know this was such a long rant. I just got off an overnight. But his happens so often and every single time I just think of the agony we put this person through in their last days on earth all because a family couldn’t respect their loved one’s wishes.
Please. When it’s time just let me pump them with morphine and Ativan and let them go in peace and comfort.

If she was fully able to express her wishes to you, the hospital should not have turned to her proxy for decisions at all. Health care proxies should only apply when a patient is incapacitated.

My mother always said she didn't want to be a vegetable. My father wouldn't let my mother go in peace at the geriatric ward, no matter how bad her dementia was, and even after he lost interest in seeing her. I would find it hard to let my husband go, but it would also hurt me to see him helpless and miserable.
Vinnie 1 year ago
The nurse's words really hit close to my heart. My father refused to let my mother go, even when he lost interest in her. My dad justified prolonging her dementia with "She's still eating" - and she was in a wheelchair, being spoon-fed and unhappy. I've seen people in wheelchairs needing to be spoon-fed, who could still enjoy life - they smiled, they were alert, they expressed themselves well just through facial expressions. My mother was obviously not able to get pleasure out of life, even before she was so helpless.

I'm only speculating, but can you imagine dealing with a family who might threaten litigation because "Nana wasn't in her right mind when she said that"? That's why it's important to have wills & medical directives in place as soon as you can. You can always make updates if you change your mind, but I imagine it's often a nightmare to fight the families when there is no prior directive in place other than a chosen proxy.

I wanted to do a good deed so I petsat (?) a cat for 5 months between their different homes. The first home couldn't keep her after her first litter of kittens and the professional cat breeder didn't have a new home lined up immediately so she stayed here. I thought the cat breeder was kind of nice (found her on a help wanted site) until she asked if I would permanently take in a male cat. He has done his duties at 4 years old (!!!) and if I don't take him "I will just have to put him down because I can't have unnecessary cats here". (Loosly translated to English, but you get the idea) My heart broke, just 4 years old and dumped on the trashheap. He lived in several "homes" during that time, locked in cages but whit small outside ground, and also living at a breeder that was a hoarder of cats that just peeped and pooped whereevee in her house. He's so terribly afraid of people and so scared it breaks my heart seeing his photos. That cat has big sad eyes and ears that folds sadly 😭🐈

I’d almost wonder if this applies to a majority of people. While only a minority will actively torture animals for fun, many people (I dare say most) would happily injure or kill wildlife they don’t get along with, and an even greater number of people would leave an animal to die if they hit it on the road.

I live a fair drive away from the beach, so when I go there, I like to make a day of it. One time I was lucky enough to be there on a really warm summer's evening and the surf was so calm. I was so looking forward to just sitting quietly to watch the sun setting over the beach, when a group of guys came and set up their stuff right near us (me, my husband and our daughter) and started playing music LOUDLY. It ruined the moment for everyone - as there were many couples and families sitting quietly or paddling in the warm water. They stunk up the beach with smoking weed too. They were drunk and stoned, so we didn't feel safe asking them to turn it down. We ended up leaving. WHY do people feel the need to play loud music in a public place?

I said that’s not their only job. That they’re paid so little they have to go on food stamps to feed their families (yep, it was Walmart), and they’re worked so hard and treated so badly, that the LEAST the rest of us can do is return our OWN damned carts! Oh, I embarrassed her, because there were other people around. Since she just stood there like a helpless idiot, I grabbed her cart and put it in the cart return, and got in my car. Caught a glimpse of her scuttling to her car with a very red face.

We live near a riding school, which often take the horses out to the woods behind our street. Horses poo too, but their poop is never picked up, or scooped away from the walking/cycling paths. It can take weeks for rain to wash it away. I understand that they don't have huge bags, but at least push it off the pavement or make the horse turn its back towards the ditch when they feel a poo is imminent.

Seriously, the texting and driving is just as bad as drunk driving. I've been behind people texting while driving and I kid you not, I thought they were drunk. Driving down the center of the road, into turn lanes they have no intention of using, weaving in the lane. It's horrible. And with speech to text not necessary. Or even better, put the damn phone down and pay attention to your driving. The only thing worse I've seen is someone reading a tablet on the highway. Self driving cars can't come soon enough.

I don't believe the miraculous and spiritual claims of the Bible, but if someone actually genuinely believes that stuff, as many Christians *claim* they do, then it makes complete sense it would absolutely be the most important thing in their lives, the very thing they define their identity by and the filter by which they see all of reality. Of course, even then you can have basic respect for people that don't believe the same as you. That's where I draw the line. You want to believe all these incredible things and structure your life around that? Great, I celebrate your freedom to do so, because that's a freedom that all people should enjoy. But, the second you try to force any of that on someone else, you've gone too far.

And I feel that should be added that it's not always the views that are extreme, but rather their insistence of forcing those views. A lot this comes down tribalism and post-pandemic troubles. People, as much as we hope we were, are not by nature rational. It's a learned trait I think. And when we're confronted by uncertainty of the future, we tend to revert to our lesser selves. Now, I think it's important that I point out that I believe we should view ourselves as a single global tribe and we should strive to become a post scarcity egalitarian society. And for some reason, that view has been seen as naive at best and extreme at worst and I don't understand why when my views are pretty damn harmless. Yet I see a lot of people with views that are very harmful become mainstream while they demonize the other.

Just think about how people drive cars: in the UK, pedestrians have priority at junctions (and always have had - they just recently made it more abundantly clear in the highway code) but how many car drivers abuse their power (of being in a powerful killing machine) and ignore pedestrians waiting to cross the side road? As a professional driver, I'd estimate that 10% of drivers are active ar53h0l35, but another 80% are mindless, passive ar53h0l35 who don't even realise it. It takes positive action, vigilence and humility to avoid abusing power once you have it.

Student Paramedic in the UK here, for context you don't pay for healthcare in the UK including the ambulance service.
We often have patients who will ring us up and say over the phone things like "I have chest pain" chest pain is a high priority case and often gets dispatched as quick as possible. But upon arrival they will tell us "I never said I had chest pain" Yet we ring and ask for a transcript of the conversation and there it is.
9/10 times we have to take them into hospital to check they're okay just incase there is any heart or lung issues, but people will lie to get things seen quicker through the emergency pathway. But people will get us out for anything because they can't be bothered to: A) Drive themselves, B) Pay for a taxi, C) get public transport or D) wait too see their GP (Family doctor)
You can leave people at home and tell them you won't take them but if they ring back another crew will be sent out or even worse something bad could actually happen and you're stuck with the liability.
It makes me so annoyed people see it as a taxi and not as an emergency service. But let me clarify this is a small amount of people but they're definitely there.
EDIT: (My personal opinion) For all those saying "This is why things shouldn't be free" This is a minority of people who do this, all of my patients are treat with dignity and respect, I've had people who've come off motorbikes, attempted suicide, heart attacks, pulled muscles, chest infections the works. I know each and every one of them no matter how dire the circumstances will be treat fairly and equally for their condition with a care plan to look after them after they leave hospital.
The NHS has saved my life and countless others and takes a small sum out of my taxes at the end of the month without the worry that I need too fork out for insurance.
From all the comments for American and other EMS colleagues from around the globe (you guys are rocking it by the way, keep up the stellar work) the situation is similar in their work, people just don't pay as a result your insurance premiums go up and to pay the difference, in the end everyone pays for everyone else.
Edit Edit: IMPORTANT: please don't let this put you off calling an ambulance, if you are genuinely worried about yours or someone's health call us up, we'd rather arrive and find it was nothing than be called when you're at your worst.

And in my rearview mirror, I can see them now straddling the middle line, so effectively they're blocking both lanes of traffic heading west, and they're still doing less than half the posted speed limit. I give kudos to the other drivers for not honking/road raging and just passing them like I did. (This was 8:00 in the morning on a weekday, not a local license plate... Behavior like this is common enough in a major tourist town, people have no idea where they're going, so it's not likely that they were drunk or anything like that)

My failings are my own, and my inability to fully rectify them frustrates me more than anything. I long ago realized that I'm a perfectionist. I am my own worst critic.

I used to feel like venting our frustration at the stupidity of "those people who..." was therapeutic but nowadays I think it just keeps us cranky and elevates our blood pressure. I've had my moments of road rage definitely but in general I've found letting people be stupid and moving on is better for my mental health. They'll get what they deserve, I don't need to be the enforcer of karma.

“ Have you ever reflected on your own habits after hearing others' complaints?” That’s why I’m here! I’ve discovered that a lot of the things I was taught/picked up from those around me is NOT GOOD, and I’m trying to learn to be better (if for no other reason than to try to alleviate my shame). Also, I don’t get out at all, and the world is rapidly changing, and I need to be prepared in case I decide to rejoin humanity.

I walk a lot, and take my car only if I have to drive my kids or do groceries. But the time I have to wait at a crosswalk is really insane, and it drives me nuts.

I really hate those alpha male movements, the radicalization of young men to hate women. That is so freaking scary! If you hate women so much, don't date them, don't marry them, we really don't want to do anything with you! But they do want women they just don't see them as people. Scary!

I watched a horrifying BBC docu today about Andrew Tate. At least there were fun parts, like experts pointing out when he becomes extremely agitated or is lying. Geez; even if all the disgusting charges are dropped he still needs to be exiled to a remote island without Wi-Fi so he can’t endanger women anymore. 😰

I was an auditor (now retired). I used to say that I hate everybody equally. Except you, you I hate personally.

Haha, as a former auditor I get that. But the auditees probably hated us equally, except for me that they hated personally ;)

I had to laugh at something today, I was driving, the car in front of me was extremely slow, and constantly hitting the brakes so the safest thing for me to do is to pass them so I'm in front of them. And in my rearview mirror, I can see them now straddling the middle line, so effectively they're blocking both lanes of traffic heading west, and they're still doing less than half the posted speed limit. I give kudos to the other drivers for not honking/road raging and just passing them like I did. (This was 8:00 in the morning on a weekday, not a local license plate... Behavior like this is common enough in a major tourist town, people have no idea where they're going, so it's not likely that they were drunk or anything like that)
