Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.
I once had a date where the guy threw a candy’s wrapper to the floor while we were on the way to his house and went “oops 😉” as if it was funny or cute. I wish i would’ve picked it up when he didn’t notice and hide it in his house.
God that has raised my blood pressure. What a dickhole
I always have to look out for shards of broken glass in the bicycle gutter lane because I guess some people think it’s fine to just throw glass bottles on the ground
Intolerance.
For me it’s this, and the Dutch.
How paradoxical.
No it isn’t. Tolerance is a social contract; if you don’t abide by it you don’t get to be protected by it. Simple as.

Just riffing on a popular concept. I totally agree.
Idiots.
Though sometimes that includes myself.
At this point, everything.
Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
Botulinum toxin
You can blame @Mubelotix@jlai.lu for that one.
Cars, plastic, capitalism and fascism.

To future readers, Would quotes better suite the flavor of the above post, or a conjunction of the colon with quotes?
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
I have a nearly fully blocked nose, always have. As such I can’t really breathe through my nose at all (also my sense of smell is nearly nonexistent). I still eat with my mouth closed. It does take me a while longer though, since I basically need to stop eating in order to breathe. But I’d rather do that than the alternative, because I agree with you, chewing with your mouth open is disgusting and disrespectful.
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can’t stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you’re going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
This one drives me up the Fucking Wall™, because how difficult is it to spend 2 seconds letting people know through text that you’re not going? it’s so inconsiderate and immature.
People who think they’re an island. I don’t know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and they’re part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesn’t matter if it’s stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.
AI
Tailgating
I would tack on shitty drivers in general. People driving in the shoulder just bc they’re in a hurry or think they’re important, not using turn signals, not letting people merge, being distracted using their phone, weaving through traffic at high speed; things got way worse during the pandemic and they haven’t at all improved at least as far as I can tell.
People being rude to customer facing employees.
People who call putting an ipad in front of their kid “parenting”.
Arrogance
