This is the thread for general pet peeves. I don't mean character ones or fandom pet peeves, I mean random, not specific to anything pet peeves.

Rules

1. Please don't name anybody.

2. If anybody starts to argue, take it to profile comments or PMs.

3. Black out any sensitive content.

NYAHILISM

people who try and guilt me into free art of their ocs

other than that i aint fond of people whose immediate response to me saying that i like bugs is talking about how much they hate them. i've said "hey, please don't kill that bug, it makes me upset" only to have people look me in the eye and make a point of crushing it. i've said "please don't call bugs ugly around me, you can do it when im not participating in the discussion but it makes me upset" only to have people continue on and on about how house centipedes look like the literal devil... it costs $0 to be nice, and even less somehow to be nice to bugs

Recently Facebook's started doing a thing where it notifies me if people are commenting on post from pages I follow but I haven't liked/commented on. I don't have notifications for the post Facebook wants me to interact with turned on and I can't figure out how to turn these notifications off.  It's nothing more than spam and it's really starting to annoy me because there's no way to disable these notifications. 

Tbh I think Facebook in general annoys me a lot and stuff like this doesn't help. I've been a lot happier for cutting down how much time I spend on the site. I don't like how it's necessary to have a Facebook to keep in touch with friends/family and if it wasn't necessary to have a Facebook I'd delete my account in a heartbeat.

yes so much on the bug thing

also misinformation about spiders

daddy long legs (cellar spiders) are gentle creatures that would never hurt a human

they cant run around like other spiders so u wont see them appear out of nowhere, they also walk very awkwardly and slowly

My current pet peeve is that my phone keeps autodimming even with auto brightness and True Tone turned off. 

It doesn’t notice during daytime but if I’m reading at night it’s jarring enough to be distracting.

Mine is petty af but people getting sinks covered in water and not fucking cleaning them. 

My god, 8/10 times I go to use the sink, the previous user didn’t bother wiping up the water they got all over it. How does that even happen? Do you flap your wet hands on the sink instead of using a towel? 

It drives me insane and I always end up being the one to wipe it down, since n o b o d y else in this house has enough functioning synapses to do so.

Albinistic

the fact that my computer monitor still hurts my eyes even at it's lowest brightness setting (i have extreme light sensitivity) and i had to install a special piece of clunky software to make it go lower

the numerous times where i randomly lose items around the house, which i am very good at

roleplayers whos "OCs" consist of stolen images off Google Images/DeviantArt/FurAffinity. no, it doesn't stop being art theft because you wrote "art not mine." that's still someone's character and you have no right to use it.

seeing people enjoy the daytime and sun when it's nothing but uncomfortable or even painful to me. this actually depresses me a lot... especially since most things are only open during the day and there's not a lot of support for people with a nocturnal lifestyle. i feel like i'm missing out on so much.

When you inquire about a character but get blatantly ignored-

I mean. I get that nobody has to entertain your offers, but I'd prefer if I was just told "no". It makes me feel worse when I'm ignored. Plus, why have a character up for sale for days on end if you're not going to look at offers? Or even reply about the listed set price?

Same though? Whenever it rains and I’m walking around I do my best to put the worms that are on the sidewalk in a safer place. My neighbors would go outside during storms and shoot them full of BB pellets because they thought it was funny and it always made 10-year-old me cry :( There’s also an annoying rumor that seems to be common knowledge in my town that daddy long legs are the most poisonous spiders in the world but they just can’t bite you because they’re so small. Lol. Literally everyone within a 100 mile radius thinks this and it’s completely fake. Heck, they aren’t even really spiders, they’ve only got six legs and a pair of weird antennae. They’re super chill and fun to play with!
