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.
Excessive swearing. I mean, sure, if you want to swear, you can, but I'd like to be able to watch a video on YT without soneone cursing every 5 seconds

Me: Look at this roku mobile remote app, it’s better than the physical remote when my mom uses it. I’ll download it.
Roku remote app: *ADS EVERY FIVE BUTTON PRESSES OR SOMETHING*
Me: JEOGOEJCLDÑWJWLCKGJEKWPQOXKCMSKQ
LET ME USE THE APP (not just roku remote but thats a relevant example) WITHOUT INCESSANT SHOVING PRODUCTS DOWN MY THROAT
I frequently add songs then end up deleting them after a few months when they get annoying so it really peeves me off when I delete a song off a playlist and it repeatedly comes up in Suggested For This Playlist, Release Radar or Discover Weekly. I deleted this song for a reason please stop.
Likewise when I use the I Don't Like This Song button in Discover Weekly but Spotify continues to to suggest it. There's 3 songs in particular I really can't stand but they're continually suggested to me no matter how many times I hit I Don't Like This Song. They're not covers, remixes, acoustic versions or radio edits, it's the same song I hit the I Don't Like This Song for button the previous few weeks before it'd even had a chance to play.
When I'm typing and the cursor does that thing where it skips up several lines with the cursor ending up in the middle of a word despite my hands not knocking the trackpad or page up/arrow keys. Usually by the time I notice what's happened I've lost my place in the story/plot notes page, I have a hard time tracking down where the cursor is now and what words belonged to the sentence that got cut off by the cursor jumping up a few lines. Annoying enough when I'm trying to write a long comment, make plot or character notes but outright frustrating when I'm trying to write an OC fic because it can really throw me off my groove.
I'm mainly referring to things like surveyors and people any kind of maintenance jobs that requires you to sit in for most if not all day and on a rare occasion, taxi drivers but when people come early, make no effort to make themselves known but act like you're a massive inconvenience/try to make it out it's all your fault when they end up late. I've had workmen try to accuse me of sleeping in when I've been stood in the kitchen watching them fuck about on their phones in their vans for half an hour before they decided to do anything and it's happened often enough it's one thing I am prepared to raise hell over. I think the thing that gets me is how rude and condescending they can be with it sometimes?
When people talk during class/lecture...
Like, come on...some people are actually trying to listen but it's much more difficult when you are right behind or next them talking on the phone/whispering to your friend :'(
ESPECIALLY when the professor asks you stop MULTIPLE times and I can hear you whispering about how "Omg stupid and unfair" it is that you can't talk in class.
Really? This is university. You are adults. Grow up and quit acting like you're in kindergarten.
when people do passive aggressive comments on th threads, imo if you wanna be aggressive bout smth just go straight up and be angry, vent, rage, don't do the "uwu sweaty" tactics. i try to keep all my comments in a set tone by reading them in my head while i type, and if i seem to be too odd in my typing i'll change it up.
When I join a new website or buy an electrical product from a specific store and specifically say NO to all e-mail alerts because my inbox is enough of a mess that I've already got to separate my gaming e-mail from my professional e-mail to have a hope in hell of finding my work e-mails but I still get spammed with a load of unnecessary crap and promotions from that website/store.
Also when I keep unsubscribing to email promotions/newsletters and still get spammed with them that I eventually end up having to threaten to make a formal complaint to some advertising regulator if they don't take me off their mailing list and keep me off.
I haven't had to put in a formal complaint yet but I have had to threaten it a several times times and I shouldn't need to?
No promotional e-mails/newsletters should mean no promotional e-mails/newsletters. Unsubscribe should mean unsubscribe.
when people think that just because something offends them, they can speak up for the whole of a community and tell others to not draw or enjoy pieces of media that they find 'offensive'. whenever people tell me that i shouldn't draw/like X because its """problematic""" i go "cool, gonna do it anyways".
unless something is Very Blatanly meant to offend (i.e. obvious propaganda of racism) then i don't think that people should be putting down others for what they create or consume.
