De verjaardagskring is het slechtste sociale idee dat we hebben.
Je spreekt alleen de twee mensen naast je, en met de rest wissel je hooguit een blik uit over de schaal kaas.
Staand met een borrel in de hand praat je met vijf keer zoveel mensen.
Waarom doen we dit nog?

Jealousy is a curse, resulting in emotional exhaustion & hyper- vigilance.
I've suffered with this for my whole adult life; during every intimate relationship, and it makes me feel awful.
I think it's time I learned to get it under control - there's no help coming from anywhere else.
I've asked for help via the usual medical routes, but they act like it's not a valid enough reason to warrant the help.
I'm sure the ones on the receiving end of my jealousy would disagree, likewise, so do I, as its damaging effects are severely underestimated.
I don't have green eyes for nothing that's for damn sure & it's putting me off future relationships 😐

"Sign in to prove you're not a bot! Also, can we interest you in some AI?"
If you're a large corporation / business, and you've jumped on the AI bandwagon, don't ask me if I'm a robot or not! At that point, what does it matter if I'm a human or a bot. You (or rather, your wallets) have already decided that you prefer bots to humans.
IDGAF about DDoS or spam. That's your problem. My problem is that Captchas and the like have become insufferable. I can't even watch a YouTube video without signing in any more, if not because of equally BS age-restricting, but because Google - the company that gave us Gemini AI - still wants actual human beings to watch content posted to the very same video sharing website that they've already ruined.
And this is coming from someone who thinks the "anti-AI" crowd are grossly uneducated.

This is a photo of me and my best friend from 2014… is this photo racist?

Are you a good little Goy?
How much human capital are they extracting from you weekly? Do you enjoy being a caged factory farmed cattle? When you should be free roam frolicking in the fields. Do you enjoy LARPing clocking in to your meaningless job?
How having about having to listen & take orders to your Boss? Imagine spending the little time you have left in servitude of some drongo. We have collectively lost our humanity when we put profit above all else.

Endless LOLZ
Nothing is that funny, that you need to add LOL at the end of every sentence, and there's no way these people are actually laughing at that exact moment, after whatever shit they've just typed.
Its like "I fell down the stairs & was paralysed from the neck down lol"
Grow up, stop using lols as a default replacement for actual punctuation when what you're saying isn't even remotely funny half the time.

What's something completely normal that instantly makes you dislike someone?
For me its when someone constantly interrupts me when speaking. like bruh,lemme finish

Is anyone else sick of banal chit-chat & how do you deal with it?
It's like I can feel my life force draining out of my body.
I'm not interested in whether Tesco has changed its layout again or your weather updates. Give me 'meat' to feed my soul & leave me craving more, God dammit.

Why do left handed scissors also have to be blunt?
I always found it a bit of an insult that just because I'm left handed scissors making companies also seem to assume I'm clumsy too.

Business English
Meetings do not have a "readout" but they might have a "summary" of what was decided. TV reporters covering foreign affairs use this a lot.
"Surface" is not a transitive verb unless you are aboard a submarine. So you can not "surface that as an issue".
You might start up a new service offering but you don't "turn it up" as though it had a volume knob. Marketing people trying to sound technical might use this.

It annoys me so much that a wine or beer daily at home is perfectly respectable, but smoke a spliff and suddenly you’re a “druggy”
New the site and to be honest, I’m actually happy to vent somewhere now lol.
I wonder if everyone will disagree here tho but What really annoys me about this is the double standard.. My mother-in-law has a glass of wine every day, and my father-in-law will have his few beers at night in front of the TV. Nobody bats an eyelid because it’s seen as completely normal.
But mention having a joint and suddenly people are judging you and treating you like a druggy outsider.
If someone is sitting at home, minding their own business and smoking harmlessly.. why is that somehow more deserving of judgement than someone drinking wine or beer every night?
Ahh have to vent about it somewhere, it actually bugs me to the core.

People who just reply “This” - does it bother anyone else?
Does anyone else get annoyed by people who only ever reply “This.” or “^This” to comments on Reddit?
I get that it’s meant to show agreement, but I find it often comes across as:
•Condescending, like they’re stamping the comment as “the final word”
•Lazy, with no actual input or perspective of their own
•A bit self-important, as if their agreement somehow validates the original comment more than an upvote would
• Low-key narcissistic, in the sense that it’s more about them positioning themselves as the person who “confirms” the truth than actually contributing to the discussion
It feels less like genuine engagement and more like performative agreement. If you strongly agree, just upvote. If you have something to add, add it. But dropping a single “This.” and acting like you’ve contributed something meaningful is pretty grating I find it so cringe I get secondhand embarrassment when I see it on here.
Edit: This

Voice to text that doesn't effing hear me correctly and I have to type it all out anyway
I suffer from a medical condition known as fat fingeritis, so I dictate into my phone. Kind of a lot. And sometimes, my phone can't hear me properly, and it writes words that it thinks I said, but the closeness can range anywhere from "understandable homophone" all the way to "What the fuck, are you on crack?" So then, not only does it interrupt the flow while I'm talking, but I have to go back through and type it anyway with my fat fingers, so it's like what's the point?
And the worst ones? When I'm in a hurry to get a point out, so my dumb ass doesn't proofread, and I end up posting pure nonsense sentences.

People who stop walking the second they enter a store
You walk through the door behind someone and they immediately stop. Right there. In the entrance.
Not to look at anything important. Just to figure out where they want to go while five people pile up behind them.
You had the entire parking lot to prepare for this moment. Please pick a direction

Does anyone else hate when people answer the phone and just… say nothing?
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but if you pick up the phone, at least say “hello” 😭 Lately I’ve had so many calls where the other person answers and there’s just silence until I speak first. Why did answering the phone turn into a staring contest?

People who are "just trying to have fun" at the expense of everyone else's fun
Anyone doing some kind of group activity will run into someone like this at least once.
It's the guy whose sole idea of a good time is just trolling and being annoying. They'll completely ignore engaging with the activity and just fuck around in a way that is destructive to the enjoyment of the rest of the group.
Occasionally they might even start off being actually funny but the guy thinks he's the world's greatest comedian so he just keeps the bit up the entire time and never knows when to quit.
The actual pet peeve is when you call them out on it they say something like "Why is everyone always taking things so seriously? It's supposed to be for fun." EXACTLY. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. Everybody was having fun until YOU started being a douche. Everybody is always serious because they're fucking pissed at YOU. YOU'RE the problem.

When people think it's cool or quirky to dislike a word.
We get it, you don't like the word "moist" or something. No one cares, it's not a slur or anything it just means wet. Oh, it sounds sexual does it? Grow up...
I used to get annoyed a lot by my ex with this stuff. She'd have a list of names she hated and she'd make this big song and dance about it if anyone used one around her. Moist of course was on said list and I remember having to sit there in dumbfoundry as she and 5 other women had a discussion about how gross that word is and how it should be banned etc.
