I'm 1000% with you.

Minimizing the use of these one-time-use plastics will do more than reusing them will. Throw em in the recycling bin and invest in some good containers.

My mother-in-law is similar and cant throw food away. So many leftovers get shared with us, which basically means we put it in the fridge and throw it out a few days later. Just like you said too, stuff that's not worth saving. It drives me absolutely insane, and she knows it because everyone gives her shit about it (in a loving way), but the woman is a straight up food hoarder. There was even a point in time where she was going to this "food rescue" place where they basically give away food that restaurants can't use. Her original goal was to take it to her place up north where people need donations, but she'd end up with so much that I was getting like two big boxes of random ass food every week because she couldn't let SOMEONE ELSE throw it out.

Do Americans just always cook/buy way too much food? The concept of leftovers was always weird to me.
Or when I'd see on tv people are just like "would you like to stay for dinner?" Like how is there magically enough food for extra people?

Also I don't think you can throw single use plastics in the recycling bin, It fucks everything up.

way too much is the american way.

-Corny b-roll
-People who are late
-People who complain at fast food restaurants.
-Shirts that are too short

Oh and people who think they need to win all the arguments they are in. Just admit you are wrong if you are you fucking fuck head.

I hate how I have to buckle my belt super tight for my pants to stay up and then unbuckle it to sit down comfortably.  All day long, buckle, unbuckle, repeat.  I don’t even buy my pants too big or anything, I’m just shaped weird and a little diva who’s never comfortable.

You can get belts that are for baseball or softball or something and they are stretchy. They still have a buckle so it's not problem completely solved but it could be an improvement.

Just don't fucking eat your cornflakes next to me in a quiet setting. The sound of slurping and chewing makes me insane.

There's even a scientific term for this:

People who drive too fast through residential areas. I get it cool guy you like to live fast and you don't care if you mow down an entire pee-wee street hockey team trying to let everyone know your rattling bass-blasting shit breather can really haul on four cylinders

Speakerphone. I hate everything about it.

dumb white christian republicans .. they suck

ban anyone who prematurely starts a thread for a video part and then does not subsquently edit their original post to include the video part

[Lifer]

Whenever I'm about to go skate and my parents say something along the lines of "be careful!" or "don't break anything"...

[yep yep]

Speakerphone. I hate everything about it.

what about solo speakerphone? I hate speakerphone but love it if I'm by myself working on the computer or just relaxing on the couch.

[Mean salto]

Not a big one but I get a little twinge everytime I hear someone say they saw a movie "in theatres". It should be I saw the movie "in the theatre" or at least "in theatre".

[Hinna]

be more grateful that your parents care

Speakerphone. I hate everything about it.

I agree fully with this

I typically tell people that i cant hear or that its hard to hear them when on speaker and it usually works

[Coastal Fever]

Thrift store chains (Value Village, Sally Ann, etc.) keeping their change rooms closed, while the expensive big box and mall stores have theirs open, is some backwards classist bullshit.  Basically forcing those who need cheap clothes to buy a bunch of donated then overpriced shit, that might not even fit, and then can only be exchanged for store credit, not even their money back.

Zoom meetings where small groups (5-10) will just stay on mute through even basic pleasantries.  I am absolutely the only one who responds when the standard "how's everyone's day going?" gets asked.  I aint trying to kiss ass but my god the silence is unbearable.

Building off of this – Zoom meetings that could've been an email.

I've been in two meetings TODAY that were an absolute waste of everyone's time – it was just for the meeting host to talk.

Adding to this but in a slightly different tack. Zoom meetings where people at the end add random ish on because they want to chat...in our last meeting our manager opened "the floor" to people so they could "give thanks"...so people were "thanking" everyone under the sun just to join in including our payroll staff and office cleaners...even though our offices are basically shut down and our expenses are late at the best of times, people miss the proverbial water cooler chat - that's fine but don't leech onto a progess meeting to do so.

Inconsiderate people, whiners, and attention seekers. Some people are all three and they can really eat a dong.

the fact that you can say this but you'll get banned if you said 'jewish entitlement' or 'brown muslims'. is that not crazy to other people?

Yes, dumb white Christians are such a marginalized group in our society, they really just can't catch a break.  Fuck off, dipshit.

This kind of banter on both sides., So bad faith from both sides.

When people have a kid and then tell other people they are selfish/ don't known how selfish they are until they have a kid. Dickhead you're still a selfish prick, in fact you're more selfish now because there's two of you. Society doesn't benefit from your offspring.
I genuinely don't think someone can really be a good person and a good parent at the same time.

society is contingent upon people havin kids so yeah, it kinda does benefit from that. a lot of us think it's cool to be peter pan and buy a bunch of sneakers instead of raising families but it's not a path to happiness. or continued existence. i'm not in love w/ other people's kids either but if you don't procreate, you're blowing it.

This is coming up a lot lately but people don't only have to exist at either end of the spectrum. You can not have kids but also not be Peter Pan sneaker guy and you can also have kids and still try and be a generally decent person.
My peeve is specifically about shitty selfish people who then have kids and continue to be shitty selfish people but now believe they aren't because they have a kid.

If you feel that there's some value to be gained from a spirited debate with a troll, be my guest.
