1. People who don’t clean up after their dogs
I work in a major city. So, of course, there’s lots of people walking their dogs at all times of the day. But, more often than not, first thing in the morning when I get out of my car, I’m hit with the smell of shit. Then, walking down the block to the office, there are always piles of turds just on the sidewalk. Not even in those little pockets of grass near the trees. In the DEAD CENTER of the fucking sidewalk.
Thankfully, there are street cleaners doing their jobs at that time, but still, they shouldn’t be having to follow people around with pooper scoopers. Read the sign near the little trash can and pick up after your dog, asshole.
2. People who get angry when I’m justifiably angry at them
I’m sure this happens to everyone. But, I’ve gotten into arguments where I didn’t start it, wanted to be alone while I was doing something, or didn’t want to get picked on over dumb shit. I respond negatively in some way, either politely or straight up screaming at people. No matter how I approached it, though, the other person would get mad like they weren’t the one intentionally pissing me off.
“Why are you so sensitive?”
“You can’t talk to ME like that!”
“It was a joke, stop being so dramatic!”
“Whatever, you’re too adjective for me anyway, insert sexist/racist slur here!”
Like…fam, you are the one coming in being a cockwaffle. Don’t be surprised that I’m angry when you’re making me angry.
3. Getting interrupted while I’m talking
The older I get, the more this makes my ass itch. This mostly happens at work, but I’ll be explaining something to someone, or even just saying how my day was. Then, midway through the sentence, my train of thought gets hijacked and the other person just goes on with their sentence while I’m trying to re-enter this conversation. Several topics of conversation get lost to time while I’m midway through a story or a sentence, and by the time I’m able to speak again, the topic has switched, and I’m so irritated I just don’t feel like talking to that person anymore.
I think it’s a bit worse when I’m explaining a process or something. I’ve mentioned before that I work in IT, so I’ve had to ask people about symptoms of issues or explain a maintenance process. You would think important things like, “Can you tell me when and where this started?” or “So, here’s how long this will take,” would warrant the other party keeping their fucking mouth shut for a second? NOPE. Just continue talking when I’m talking, then ask me a question because you didn’t let me talk, then continue to talk over me because you won’t fucking listen!
