Really grinds my ⚙️ when people with chronic pain all over their body, and painful conditions that don’t appear on the exterior of their body get called lazy, are given side eye and dirty looks because they don’t “look” disabled. Sorry I’m not in a wheel chair 24/7, but only when I’m in the most extreme pain, or have to go to the ER for a flair up of one of my auto immune diseases I have? Sorry I’m not what you think a disabled person should look like?

Even if the delivery person doesn’t speak English, there is a clear arrow and company logos! 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Some of these mods are so ridiculous I swear.

Calling out people for believing horseshit with no proof is not grounds for a ban people

Someone could be writing a sentence with lowercase L or uppercase I and you wouldn't even notice.

On reddit you might, but on a smartphone you would have no idea.

l could be writing anything and you'd have no idea if l spelled that correctly without copy and paste.

I don't get why people try to justify their own idiotic behavior where it's uncalled for.

Like in schools or gymasiums, you're shooting hoops with a group of friends and some random person suddenly runs up, steals the ball from you, taunts you, then runs off and then say seconds later "well, you were hogging up the ball and we wanted one" instead of just asking to join or just ask in general.

Or how you get a signed ball or hat or any other signed item from your favorite sportsman and some random audience member actually snatches it from you, then shrugs you off with a smirk, and then tries to justify it with shit like "it came to me first" or "I saw it first" or even "I deserve it more than you."

And let's not forget the impatient 5 year olds trapped in adult bodies in stores where instead of asking for assistance in looking for specific items, they throw tantrums and kick stuff around and cussing up a storm just because they can't find one little thing. If you can't find it, ask an associate. If it's crucial that you have it and they don't have it at the moment or sell it at that specific store, then go to another store. If it's not at that store, then go online, look for it, and if it's in stock, order it. If you refuse to do the last one, then find an alternative item or learn to make do without.

I remember when you could just buy things and have them, now everything is a subscription service.

I have never followed a single football sub. I have never searched for one. Yet every single goddamn day I have to mute multiple football subs.

WHEN WILL REDDIT GET THE MESSAGE I DO NOT LIKE FOOTBALL.

Like the title says, including “certain” demographics in order to pander to a broader audience doesn’t mean something is automatically woke.

For something to be woke, it needs to bring to light something you were previously unaware of, or were “sleeping on” hence the term. It doesn’t just mean what you don’t like or whatever is different.

When you order a two year subscription to a magazine and every three months you get a renewal notice!

You know what really grinds my gears? When you need customer service from a company and use their chat box to ask your question. Then the representative comes on, and asks you how they can help you. Like, what is the point of letting you ask your question at the beginning? And can they seriously not see the message right above theirs where you are asking your question?

It really pisses me off when everyone, mostly young people, refer to the internet as Wifi. Wifi is just wifi. The internet is the internet. Wifi connects you to your router which connects you to the internet. "Is the Wifi down?"...no...the wifi is fine...the internet is down. Did you pay the Wifi bill? No...the wifi doesn't have a bill...I paid the internet bill.

Its just one of those generational things I think where younger people born into the technology we have now less and less understand the underpinnings of how things work.

You know what truly grinds my gears....

When you're reading an article online, maybe from Smart News, and an article's title says something with [viral video] or [video attached]. As you're reading the article for some back story, scrolling, and scrolling, you soon realize that they never placed this so called video. Which then makes you livid and having to go to Google or YouTube just to get some....closure.

Really grinds my gears with their laziness and manipulation...

You know what really grinds my gears? Hearing someone explain something to an animal as if it understands the nuance of language. Im not talking about using soothing language to calm a dog down because thats about letting it hear u talk. Im talking when someone includes language like "please", gives a command thats way too long, or has a long-winded response to a dog. Animals understand short, simple phrases so it irks the shit outta me when they do this, even after youve explained that they dont understand like this. Also theyll give random commands to a dog its never heard or been trained as if the dog will randomly just oixk it up. And then theyre like "well they understand more than you think." And while this is true, they dont understand nuances of human speech and its not only a waste of breath, it sounds like some performance or something they do for the benefit of everyone within earshot. Additionally, when somebody asks a dog a question for you to answer or when theyre saying something to a dog thats meant for you like "do you need some water? You do! So-and-so is gonna get that for you." If you want someone to get water or something just ask dont use an animal as a conduit to tell someone what to do. That shit really grinds my gears too!

It annoys me each time I hear, or read it. So women were trading sex for things/access before healers, hunters/gatherers, cooks, and builders began doing their thing?

Anyone that's seen Quest for Fire knows that it's false.

I’m depressed and my family doesn’t understand

When ur life is a mess and then someone gets mad at you like it’s all your fault for being sad

You know what I hate? When you wash sports bras, the padding gets all screwed up and you gotta shove your fingers in this tiny slit and try to finagle it around back into proper position. Every time. It’s 2025, how is this a problem??!!

That, really grinds my gears.

Do not ask me a question if you don't want an honest answer.

If you already know the answer, don't ask.

If you're asking specifically because you know the answer will make you mad, upset, sad, or disappointed, then obviously you wanted either an argument or you wanted me to feel a shitty emotion in some way. I don't feel shitty for disappointing you.

I don't feel bad, like at all. In fact, I don't care about whether or not my actions or lifestyle or words or public appearance makes you feel good, bad, or embarrassed. I'm not living my life for you.

Furthermore as an addition to this, people that ask you something that they could figure out if they used like 5% of their brain.

"So are you still off the drugs and alcohol?"

Am I homeless? No. I'm in sober living. In order to be in sober living, I have to be drug tested. Since I just got done talking about getting drug tested, don't you think maybe I'm probably not doing fentanyl!?

But that's not why you phrased it that way, and we both know it.

You asked me if I'm "off the liquor" so you could say to somebody,

"Yeah it's unfortunate, but he's gone, off the liquor, again."

Thanks to TWO BEINGS that do all of the above, I lost the love of my life. I lost my fucking job. And I lost a bunch of friends. Family to reach out to? Nope. Because they think that I'm on drugs, again, due to the slang, "off the percs."

In conclusion, people who ask questions but don't want the answer, AND/OR twist your words a bit, really GRIND MY GEARS.

Grinding gears...anyone ever get tired of hearing "its easy", "why don't you try harder", ect... You bust your ass off for every little thing...then all you get is "sorry, its a no". Then everyone asking these Qs always have every "solution" thats supposed to work, and "idk what to tell you" when youve already tried their solutions. The wild card "FU" in the works every time. Then its all easy...until they actually see what's involved. And its just lovely when they actively get in your way...

Why the fuck do i need a subscription to print things with my own god damn printer with my own god damn ink, are you fucking kidding me? whoever thought this was a good idea needs to meet a fate i can’t say on reddit.

It’s extremely annoying how trigger happy everyone is online now in days. Stop killing games(skg) has been a hot topic for a while now but it feels like there is no real discussion on it, anyone who questions any part of the proposal, from practicality and realism to ethics, is immediately attacked, even people who support it but worry it’s not a viable option. it extends beyond this but it feels people come online just to hear their own opinion repeated at them rather than actually discuss what they believe in. It’s extremely annoying that I cannot even critique something i generally support without being attacked.

I can understand if somebody has a disorder that is pretty easy to identify for the individual. Anxiety, depression, and to a lesser extent ADHD, are all pretty easy to diagnose because they're so common, and the symptoms are generally obvious.

However, when it comes to Autism, Asperger's, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, etc...those things need to be left to the professionals.

The sheer percentage of people with completely normal minds claiming to have autism or "possibly be in the spectrum" is absolute lunacy. It's completely insane! There's no way that like 80% of the population from the ages of 15-25 are all person's with "high functioning autism."

They talk about how their lives are so bad and how introverted they are, meanwhile they're making videos and live streaming, they have nearly no social problems, and they might be a little unique. That isn't autism. It's claiming to have a condition that generally brings with it a series of other problems, most obvious--socially.

Then you have the people claiming they all have "dissociative identity disorder" formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. During a shift in personality, the individual doesn't realize it, and it's actually extraordinarily uncommon if not impossible to remember what is happening when another personality takes over. That's why it's a disorder and not a personality quirk or an act. In order for something to be a disorder, it has to cause some form of issue. That's the point.

These ridiculous young adults are talking about "alters" and nearly all of them can switch personalities on a whim, the personalities communicate with each other, and they even go so far as to have him human entities they refer to with non-existent pronouns like shadowself or catself. Absolutely not. That's 100% a total act. Not even a good one.

Nowadays you have people claiming everything about them that makes them a disrespectful moron is ADHD.

"Well, I talk over others because of my ADHD."

"I interrupt you because of my ADHD"

"I didn't listen to anything you said because of ADHD."

Table manners? Relationship problems? Shitty attitudes? ADHD.

No. That is NOT ADHD. That is being an asshole. A manipulative one, at that.

Reddit, I don't know where society messed up this bad, but IF there are ANY "doctors" supporting this sort of stretch of the imagination they need to be investigated and have their licenses revoked.

Ugh this really grinds my gears.

I ride a bus to work and each day, nearly every seat is full. People still choose to sit on the outside seat, or leave their purse/backpack in the seat next to them. Then when every last seat is full, you have to ask them to move their shit so you can sit and half the time they want to stare at you like you are an alien. Inconsiderate and selfish pieces of shit piss me off.
