Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. “Five dollars” is $5, not 5$.
Saying that they could care less when they mean they couldn’t care less.
Like, of course anyone can care less than they currently do.
Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.
Here are my top 5:
- Being on their phone too much.
- Being willfully ignorant.
- Believing in religion.
- Using proprietary social media apps (e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook).
- Using non-free BIOS firmware / non-free software.
People who make small talk with the cashier or service person when there is a line and people who accelerate in the turn lane.
Being smarmy. I can’t stand people who are ready to manipulate anything out of people as they do it with their smarmy smirks.
People with shattered phone screens.
Pretty much anyone with a broken phone screen are just chaos moving around.
Being all like “I fucking love science” whilst perpetuating ignorance of what science actually is like
- People who take phone calls with it on speaker
- People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
- Wearing “MAGA” clothing
- Having a cyber truck
- Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
- People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
- People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
- Edit: People that don’t like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don’t vibe with animals in some way are… Off.
damn, I’m a judgy bitchThese are all reasonable. Add people that let others in, in potentially dangerous situations.
being judgey assholes
‘It has chemicals in it’
This use of ‘chemicals’ as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they’re parroting some scaremongering tiktok.
I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don’t immediately know what it is, doesn’t mean its bad.
I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite
It’s more of a lack of understanding of chemistry, this chemical compound contains something harmful in another form, but it is completely harmless in the form that it takes in this food or vaccine, etc.
People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.
Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.
I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth…
I think it’s because they are emulating chaos-based reality tv shows.
These garbage reality shows had people using speaker-phones in public so they can record both sides of the conversation as easily as possible.
Shit Parking.
If you’re driving a 2 ton metal box and can’t have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn’t be on the road.
I agree, I shouldn’t be on the road. I try to be as safe as I can but I hate driving.
People who don’t like cats.
I’ve noticed a correlation between people who don’t like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that’s how I feel.
I love cats. Other peoples’ cats.
I will never own my own cat because I don’t want to accept the burden of responsibility that responsible pet ownership demands.
I don’t like cats, mainly for two reasons:
- I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
- Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It’s like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.
I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.
I don’t think they mean “people who wouldn’t have cats as pets”, there are tons of valid reasons not to want cats as pets, such as the two you described, and I wouldn’t say that you “don’t like cats” given those two reasons
Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*
*not true of all cat people
Interesting. My reasoning is that narcissistic people crave attention, which cats may not give so overtly as a dog. Basically for a dog, a person is a god and some people love that kind of relationship.
I’ve definitely seen multiple people talk about how they view it as a red flag when people like dogs but not cats because cats are mean. Their reasoning is that dogs will love you no matter what but cats have to want to get attention. The argument is that people don’t understand boundaries/consent.
I see their logic, but I think it’s looking a bit too far into it. Yellow flag maybe, not red.
This is my narcissistic neighbor’s behavior. He has 2 dogs, but he treats them like objects and not as part of the family. He absolutely hates cats for no real reason.
It’s a massive red flag. I had to help his ex wife escape from him because he’s a DARVO type abuser.
We really don’t deserve dogs, they’re too precious. Meanwhile, if you’re a jerk to a cat they’ll hate you a lot faster than a dog does lol.
Someone who doesn’t like cats is a red flag for me for one simple reason:
I have cats! They’re not going anywhere, either, so this probably isn’t going to work out lol.
In my experience dog owners often like to control another being, cat owners like to just let others be.
What’s your experience with people who have both?
From my experience, they’re usually very nice people that really enjoy all animals
Oh boy, does this also hold for people who don’t like any pets?
So people who don’t like cats are cats
Their choices with tech, choices in consumerism (Stanley Cups hype, hypebeast brands, Temu shit, etc), not using blinkers, amount of time spent staring at phones, hobbies
