Noise.
The sound of other people eating.
Littering.
Cars in cities.
You don’t realize how insane they are until you spend time somewhere without them.
I don’t need to. I can feel the sweet death threat every time I cross the road on the zebra lines without traffic lights.
People
At this point, everything.
People being rude to customer facing employees.
Pride and Prejudice
Intolerance.
For me it’s this, and the Dutch.
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.
People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.
Arrogance
Religious people sense of rightness
Tailgating
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.
Coffee :(
The “virus wombo combo” of mono and COVID fucked a lot of things up permanently, but most of them have rebounded to an acceptable state. Whenever I drink coffee it fucks me up, even decaf coffee. Makes me feel tired as hell, stressed, overstimulated. It also seems to last for almost a full day. Drink coffee in the morning, and I have a big chance of sleeping badly.
Not that it’s guaranteed to hold me back…
Every now and then the sane part of my brain forgets to pay attention and my coffee craving gets the better of me.
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!
