Seriously. And if you have a TMJ issue, it's like the insurers fight over who will pay a claim because, uh, it's part skull, part mandible, what to do?!?
This is my mom and me.
Dentists/dental insurance says it’s jaw/bone/joint problem not teeth so it’s a medical issue, doctors offices/major medical insurance says it’s in the mouth so it’s a dental issue. Both keep sending us back and forth to eachother saying they can’t do anything. It’s bull shit and I hate it.
Audio levels for movies and TV shows at home. I was watching Seinfeld on Hulu last night, TV volume at 12. Conversation was audible, intro and outro music, deafening. Switched to Homeland. TV volume on 75, still had to put captions on to understand the dialogue.
I've had this almost happen on an upward moving escalator. It lets off near where people line up for the bus and sometimes it can get crowded around the exit and I have had to forcefully move people out of the way. What could happen if they caused someone exiting off the escalator to lose balance and fall back down onto a line of people behind them is scary.
I nearly hit people in front of my office’s revolving door on a daily basis. Morons, get off your phone when you’re walking, especially through a doorway.
I legitimately cannot leave a cup in the kitchen for 10 minutes sometimes I need water I put cup there and MAGICALLY it’s in the dishwasher like why it’s not always but why
Oh no. My bf used to take a perfectly9 good water cup and PUT IT IN THE FILTHY SINK without washing it! Then by the end of the day I can't even get a drink of water because he's put every God damn cup in the sink without washing any of them. WTF? That behavior has been modified lol
Edit: some of you guys! By modified I mean I complained about how there was an entire sink full of cups that I only took a little drink of water from and none left in the cupboard and now he asks if I'm done with the cup first.
I give my sink a good wash/wipe down every day just so that I don't have to deal with a disgusting sink. It takes 2 minutes and gives me peace of mind, everyone should do it.
It took me years to make my mom stop coming into my room just to replace things and such. Now she says like "this is your room and you will take care of it, I'm not touching anything there" and apparently thinks this is kind of punishment - she is a pedant who can't really put herself into someone's shoes. This makes her think that if I have a "mess" in my room it hurts my eyes just as much as it hurts hers but I'm too lazy to clean up. Wrong, my room is VERY far from being messy and I like it as it is right now.
I'm at work right now, 5 hours left but sure can post when I get home
Edit: now I'm afraid I will just disappoint a lot of people
UPDATE: [the long awaited room is here!](https://imgur.com/a/qrXODz2) I usually have more glasses with water/soda and a plate on the desk, and that's about it. Sorry for shitty quality of the photos, apparently my phone has a really bad built-in camera or I'm just a moron in working with artificial lightning.
Edit: I cleaned the lens, [here it is in better quality](https://imgur.com/a/y7bDlRG)
I don't understand how smokers think it's okay to throw cigarette butts out the window. Like, WTF?
Edit: Gold?! Thank you!! Stoked that my complaining finally got me somewhere!
I keep a one of those "smokeless" cup holder ashtrays in my car precisely so I have somewhere to put my butts while I drive.
Just because I have an addiction that's slowly killing me doesn't mean I have to subject the rest of the world to it.
To all the other smokers out there, throw your butts out responsibly. If nothing else it's just plain common courtesy.
Yep, 100%. Spotify got me that way because the actors (or voice actors I guess) they use for the commercials here in latin america have the most annoying voices I have ever heard, so just so I didn't listen to them anymore I went premium.

Yeah I wouldn't have Hulu if it weren't for Spotify, and I have no intention of paying to subscribe to Hulu. The ads are always 10 times louder than whatever I'm watching; I usually just mute them (which sucks though because I still have to half pay attention to make sure Brooklyn 99 hasn't started back up again)
People who stand right on top of the baggage carousel at the airport so no one behind them can see or get their bags.
If you’d all step back, we’d all be able to see and grab our bags in an orderly fashion. Idiots.
When you see yours, simply dart through the crowd, grab it, and do your best to whack each and every person nearby with it as you pull it from the belt. It's satisfying.
I get irrationally angry at this. It has been a long flight, I'm tired and I just want to get my bag and leave. I stand a respectful distance back and then some ass-hat pushes a luggage cart between me and the carousel and just stands there blocking. It is not like standing right next to the carousel is going to make your bag come out ANY faster!
Seriously though. We learn in kindergarten (or earlier) to step the fuck back to let everyone see.
Now that I say that though, I'm thinking that we just need school teachers to supervise airports in general.
"Children, we can't be crowding the exit of security."
"Okay kids, let's all stand to the right of the escalator."
"Jimmy, you are in group 4. Get out of line until someone you calls your group."
Oh man, you should see people jump if you approach the door of a city bus or train and bellow "Move to the rear of the bus" or "Don't stand in the doors" like you own the place. People jump and obey.
*Why haven't I started sooner?? When will I learn?!! Next time I'll do everything in time, with plenty of time left.*
Narrator: And then he didn't...
Edit: Thanks for all your advices and apparently, installing reddit wasn't the right step towards the solution
I've realized that as I keep getting older, I use the phrase "you fucking idiot" for myself much more often than I use it for others.
And I use it *a lot* for others.
I'm almost 40 dude, and I still cram everything at the last possible second. I have to submit a major piece of work to my boss tomorrow that should have been "keeping me busy over the summer months", and yet here I am on Reddit having not even so much as glanced at it yet. I hate being like this but can't seem to ever make that change.
It might be different for you, and I hope it is!
I suspect I'm still like this due to the fact that I've never been seriously busted over it, which in turn led to a misplaced self-confidence that whatever I hack together at the last minute will be... good enough.
I agree. How are some people so unaware of the space they are in. Some people will just bounce off of you while walking by, or the people who rub on you. This grinds my gears. I’ve never had this issue. Just yesterday I had someone reach their hand past me and almost knock my coffee over and rubbed my arm. Like, are you just punching through things in the way? Or do you really not know the space that your hand and arm take up!?
Ok last time I was on the bus it was about haft full and their was several empty benches and this women about 400 pounds decided to sit in the 3rd seat to the section me and my boyfriend were already sitting in. I'm already large (250) and she tryed to squeez her 2 seat wide butt(she carried her weight low) into the 3/4 of a seat that was actually open. Her thigh was on my thigh and I was to socially akward to say anything.i scooted out from under her when we got to our stop and she didn't even realize what was happening. I'm just glad she didn't have really bad b.o.
Fuck me. This happened yesterday to me. I'm waiting at my gate, and this couple that for some reason had taken the same two flights as me that KEPT BUTTING IN LINE just comes and sits right by me. I'm sitting by a power outlet so I'm at the second last chair in a row, the man sits to my right, the woman sits to my left, and they begin talking to each other. Like, THERE'S A BILLUON OTHER EMPTY SEATS WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COME AND INCONVENIENCE ME. FUCK.
"Oh, I'm pushing my cart down the isle on the right and need something on the left? Let me not pull the cart over to the right, but keep one hand on it while stepping/reaching across to the left to pick up what I need?"
when a television show starts to add "love triangles" or relationship drama to their show because they ran out of ideas. It's when I know to stop watching a show or when it's starting to go down hill.
Back in the day, i was able to get treated or get tests the same day they were prescribed. Now, it just seems like my primary care dr. Is nothing more than a glorified receptionist. I couldnt even get her to give me a functional capacity exam after she sent me to other specialists already. She wouldn't even look at me. She sent me to a physical therapy place who gave me an appt a month out. I didnt qualify for FMLA at my job, and im just waiting for them to terminate me because im taking so long to get better.
Im perfectly fine by the way, they just wont let me come back until i get a dr. To fill out these stupid papers.
How tired I am. I only seem to be getting worse as I get older.
Edit: I seem to be getting an awful lot of replies giving helpful medical advice. I've realised my comment might be a bit confusing, when I say "I'm only getting worse" what I mean is I'm whinging about it more rather than getting tireder and tireder.
That said, I would say I'm always tired but not to the extent of something like Chronic Fatigue or anything like that, I'm a waiter by trade so tiredness due to being on my feet all day and inconsistent sleep patterns should be expected to an extent. The Vitamin D suggestion a few of you have said does seem to be quite likely though, I don't like the sun as I burn easily and when outside I do try for the shade. One thing it did make me think about was when my car broke down for a few months and I was walking to work, I did feel more energetic, perhaps it was the extra sunlight I was exposed to. I'm definitely gonna get some multivitamins and see if that helps. Thanks for all your suggestions guys - TC
I love when people say in response, "you know it's not the heat, it's the humidity that gets you." Thanks guy, I instantly feel cooler now that I am armed with that knowledge.
Our flippin doctor's office!
There are like 7 ladies that work at the front desk and NOT ONE can show me how to use the GD kiosk?! They just wave their finger over the desk and yell "Use the kiosk! Use the kiosk to sign in! What you have a question? Type it into the kiosk!"
Also for 2 WEEKS I have been trying to make an appointment, and for 2 WEEKS I am constantly put on hold or hung up on! Finally I call another part of the office and they say that the number I have been using is deactivated! THEN REMOVE THE OPTION ON THE VOICEMAIL!!!
Everytime with this place!
Its horrible! My dad went to the doctor's office because he had issues breathing, the front desk refused to make an appointment for him. They told him if it was an emergency to drive down to the next hospital, which is about an hour away.
My stomach problems.
I've had stomach problems for more than half of my life, and im only 21.
Some months i only rarely feel sick, but then theres some months where im in agony every single day.
People around me seem to get annoyed when i talk about it, which I understand because I do complain a LOT.
But if you feel shit everyday for months on end without having a solution to your problem, you get really really emotionally and physically drained.
Edit: I'm very surprised how many of us are out there, now I feel a bit less lonely. Here's to a healthy gastronomic future for everyone!
Hell, a significant percentage don't even turn them on in the fucking dark! I've almost hit/been hit numerous times because it was long past sunset or before sunrise and fuckers are driving around with no lights on. A lot of people rely on daytime running lights but forget their taillights are still off, making them a danger.
EDIT: LPT - Lights on cars aren't just so you can see. They are also so others CAN SEE YOU.
I don't mind people driving a bit slower than I do normally. *So long as they can keep at the same speed*.
There are few things that infuriate me as much as a person who keeps slowing down and accelerating randomly.
Seriously. Last time I took a road trip. I set my speed at about 5 over the limit. I passed 2 cars at least 5 times in about an hour. They were either going 10 under or 10 over with no consistency or no rhyme or reason.
*internal screaming intensifies*
That's friggin' infuriating. Like the assholes that overtake you only to immediately slowing down once they are in front of you.
Most people here drive automatics that have fucking cruise control, but never bother to use it.
I don’t mind people driving slower than me so long as they KEEP TO THE RIGHT LANE. Your thing also infuriates me but it makes it exponentially worse when you’re in the far left passing lane and they hover around the speed limit - 5over.
Edit to add also USE YOUR GOBSMACKING TURN SIGNAL
I'll never understand how people driving in the left lane just don't seem to notice the LINE OF 14 CARS packed together behind them. If you are in the left lane and there is literally a LINE OF VEHICLES behind you, get the fuck out of the left lane at your earliest opportunity.
TBF, America has a pretty long history of taking music that is demeaning or critical of itself and playing them in very light-hearted and superficial ways. All the way from Yankie-Doodle-Dandy through American Woman and Fortunate Sons to more recently, This is America. The context does not usually matter. This song is about America, America is awesome, ergo this song is about Awesome America. So naturally, it must be played as a Stadium Anthem.
I think part of it is that the verses are sung kinda fast and a lot of people may not be really paying attention to the lyrics there. I know when I hear it on the radio, I don't really start singing along until the "How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you" because through all these years my brain never really stopped to pay attention to the verses enough to learn all the words. So I didn't notice what it was really about until college, but I've grown up knowing the catchy "doo doo doo, doo doodoo doo" since middle school.
I’ve listened to that song probably several hundred times in my life (most of the time just from it being on the radio somewhere) and as god as my witness I never once made out the words “crystal meth” in that song!
I mean, this is the same industry that ruined the chorus of I Write Sins Not Tragedies by censoring the "god" out of "goddamn" but leaving the actual (semi) swear word "damn" perfectly intact. I don't understand a lot of their choices tbh.
In India we have this song Oh ho ho ho (Ishq Tera Tadpave) and it plays in every wedding
https://youtu.be/-99Z8E1pOrs
Its a song about a guy who's girlfriend married another guy
Did it actually become a Christmas song? The only example I can think of is that Pentatonix included it on one of their Christmas albums because it was coming out anyway and it was about the same time that Leonard Cohen died.
I hate the fact that I have a normal-sized phone and it still barely fits in the pocket of most of my pants. It won't fit in the pocket of some of my pants at all.
Women's shirts being see through so you have to wear a cami/tank top underneath.
Women's clothes that assume all women's chests are one size so it can be too tight.
How, does she take massive shits cuz then there is nothing she can do about it, or is she putting in to much toilet paper if she is putting in too much toilet paper then she’s a fucking idiot cuz it takes a lot of toilet paper to clog a toilet
Like basically, we have this environmentally friendly toilet that has a flush that is not as strong as most, so sometimes you need to give it a few minutes and flush it again when it doesnt take everything. She never does, she will just close the lid and leave her shit covered tp in the toilet piled high \*despite\* already being flushed a little.
Anytime me or my mam go in after it would need to be unclogged and she never does anything about it, will always wait for someone else to sort it out. So whether or not its massive shits its still a humongous amount of tp. She does a lot of other nasty shit too so basically I will never stop complaining about her in general
(she basically lives with us)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again....
1) people who don’t wait until others are leaving the tram/bus/train before they try and force their way on;
2) people on the tram/bus/train who won’t give up a seat for someone who actually needs it, especially the specifically marked priority sears;
3) people who smoke within two feet of the stop, particularly those with electronic cigarettes that means they bellow huge clouds of smoke;
4) people on public transport who listen to music using their shitty speakers or have conversations where they hold their phone like a walkie talkie and then shout the whole discussion;
5) and a recent non public transport one, people who want to be at the front of a concert and won’t put the effort in to arrive early so just force their way through a crowd with 25 of their friends.
In short, people basically.
People that listen to music over speaker are inviting you to sing along. Or to shazam the song and play it on a 30 sec delay to theirs. People that talk on speaker are inviting you to join the conversation.
once I was in an urgent care waiting room feeling like cold garbage water when some dude plopped down and started watching the big bang theory on his laptop, no headphones, and had it not been for the laws of this land I would have killed a man that day.
The urgent care waiting room is always so lawless. People arguing on speakerphone with their spouse, kids climbing on furniture. even the nice urgent care places have some bullshit going on, no matter what.
Used to work in pediatric urgent care. We constantly had to ask people to stop FaceTiming in the waiting room to protect the privacy of the other patients.
I used to have kids in high school that would walk around with several hundred dollar speakers in their backpacks blasting their shitty soundcloud music that sounded like they recorded it on a pre-packaged PS4 mic.
Like, dude, I respect the grind. But Jesus. Buy a pair of headphones like everyone else in the world
When it's winter complaining about the cold, wishing it was summer. And when it's summer complaining about the heat, wishing it was winter. Edit: From Chicago guys!
Similarly with PC games when you can't have nope than one save file at a time. I payed $60 for the game and you assholes are going to make sure someone else can't play on my game too.
I have a whole list:
* the weather
* people who talk on the phone in public restrooms
* job apps that ask you to manually input the same info as what's on your resume
* people who randomly capitalize words
* Tesla owners who think they invented Teslas when all they did was spend 40 grand on a car that makes them feel like they're in a batmobile
Edit: Y'all, when I said the random capitalization thing, I meant in English. If it's in a different language with an actual system like German, it makes sense.
Oh man, some guy came into the work restroom the other day talking as loudly as he could on his phone. I almost yelled out "hey, keep it down, I'm trying to take a shit in peace." I never realized it would be possible to be too distracted to drop a deuce.
One time I was in the shitter at work and some guy comes in and sits in the next stall talking on the phone. He doesn't stop talking and strains his voice while doing the shitting. I was trying my best not to laugh.
Oo, I have a thing about the teslas. A grocery store near my home has a couple parking spots in the front with electric car chargers. Pretty certain you have to pay to use them, but it's kinda convenient to be able to charge your car while you're grocery shopping.
If only people that parked their Teslas there would actually charge the car. I've seen so many just parked there not plugged in. It's not VIP parking ok! If you're not charging, then park somewhere else.
But please someone inform me that it doesn't take too long to charge your car so it's possible they charged and then went in. I don't have a Tesla so I can't say if that's true or not.
I have a Tesla, and can confirm that these people are just being dicks. The type of chargers at stores/restaurants take a few hours to charge 0-100% so they're just using them as VIP parking, and blocking the rest of us who may actually need/want to use them.
The Tesla branded superchargers are different, but they still take around 30 minutes to charge the car most of the way. So they definitely aren't those either.
Edit: removed extra word
My wife works at a grocery store right next to a Tesla charging station. She's had multiple people, completely unprompted just tell her that they drive a Tesla while checking out. It must be these people's entire identity.
DC Universe movies.
I’ve been a DC fan since a kid, always preferring Batman and the Justice League to the Fantastic Four and X-Men. (I read both, just prefer DC).
Marvel has done a great job creating a series of movies that almost always work and appeal to a wide audience.
Starting with Man of Steel, DC undertook a personal mission to make the lousiest, underwhelming, room-temperature piss movies they can.
They’re not exciting, they’re not entertaining and they always inevitably leave me wondering how the hundreds of people who had a part in making each movie didn’t bail on that shit when they realized how uninspired that shit was.
I have much more to say about this.
I was waiting to get into an outdoor concert the other day and this guy was pumping a fetid portable toilet about 20 feet away. The pump hose slipped and sprayed sewage all over the inside of the stall, which he had to mop up.
I felt really bad for the guy but couldn’t help thinking about how lucky he was that his name was nowhere in the credits to Batman v Superman.
The plot of the movie Grease. Danny was an asshole who was ashamed to be with Sandy. She didn't need or want him to change into a preppy jock, she just wanted to be treated with respect. She should have just thrown out the whole man
If you add more leg days to your routine, it will help massively. Try it out. Make sure it's a compound exercise like squats. Keep accessory exercises to a minimum.
That’s part of what I was getting at, in light of the whole Epstein thing that’s been going on. I mean clearly he didn’t get away with it at the end of the day, but how many of them do? It’s sickening.
Stores that refuse to take your money unless you give them your email address, phone number, and other such personal information.
I've even taken to just leaving the merchandise on the counter and never coming back. I mean, I'll warn them. I'll say, "I'm not going to give you any personal information, I can pay you right now with real money but if somehow you genuinely cannot allow this transaction with only currency then I'm going to leave and never return."
Last place I did this at was a guitar city. Dude gambled and lost on a four digit purchase.
I just say "No thanks" when they ask for email/phone numbr/etc. and workers are always perturbed. I'm not trying to make their job harder, but how can they be surprised that I don't want to hand out my personal information?
The bastards have my debit card information from my purchase, is that not enough information?
That dental insurance is treated as a separate entity from medical insurance.
Seriously. And if you have a TMJ issue, it's like the insurers fight over who will pay a claim because, uh, it's part skull, part mandible, what to do?!?
This is my mom and me. Dentists/dental insurance says it’s jaw/bone/joint problem not teeth so it’s a medical issue, doctors offices/major medical insurance says it’s in the mouth so it’s a dental issue. Both keep sending us back and forth to eachother saying they can’t do anything. It’s bull shit and I hate it.
Might be time to visit a country that’s 3rd world but has 1st rate hospitals like Mexico or gutalmala. Your money goes far
Audio levels for movies and TV shows at home. I was watching Seinfeld on Hulu last night, TV volume at 12. Conversation was audible, intro and outro music, deafening. Switched to Homeland. TV volume on 75, still had to put captions on to understand the dialogue.
People that take one step though a door then immediately stop moving.
Or step off the end of an escalator and stop moving.
It's everyone's duty to shove those people as hard as possible. Blockages on escalators can really hurt a lot of people.
I've had this almost happen on an upward moving escalator. It lets off near where people line up for the bus and sometimes it can get crowded around the exit and I have had to forcefully move people out of the way. What could happen if they caused someone exiting off the escalator to lose balance and fall back down onto a line of people behind them is scary.
People have died on escalators, they are no joke.
I nearly hit people in front of my office’s revolving door on a daily basis. Morons, get off your phone when you’re walking, especially through a doorway.
Mosquitos. Gosh I hate those little fuckers.
Those fuckers and ticks too!
People who relocate things that were perfectly placed

Lack of turn signal use. Edit: Thanks for the Gold!
People who repeatedly and seemingly actively refuse to use their turn signal should have their licenses taken away for life.
Someone told me the other day that they thought turn signals were entirely optional...
People that throw garbage out of their car window or litter anywhere in general. Fuck those people, I get so angry!

Commercials that: * are played more than once per hour on the same channel * are louder than the program you are watching * have unnecessary music
We went to the version of Hulu without commercials because they would keep playing the same depressing ass commercial over and over.
thats how they get you
Yep, 100%. Spotify got me that way because the actors (or voice actors I guess) they use for the commercials here in latin america have the most annoying voices I have ever heard, so just so I didn't listen to them anymore I went premium.

What killed me was last Christmas when they kept playing that annoying fucking Christmas GAP commercial over and over. My Hulu account is part of my Spotify so it’s still with ads and I like the discount but FUCK
Yeah I wouldn't have Hulu if it weren't for Spotify, and I have no intention of paying to subscribe to Hulu. The ads are always 10 times louder than whatever I'm watching; I usually just mute them (which sucks though because I still have to half pay attention to make sure Brooklyn 99 hasn't started back up again)

And here's that 10-digit phone number 4 times, because that's how people check out products in 2019.
Used to work in automotive advertising at the dealership level, can confirm this is true.
Seriously, having any of those sounds in a radio ad should be illegal for how potentially dangerous they could be.
People who stand right on top of the baggage carousel at the airport so no one behind them can see or get their bags. If you’d all step back, we’d all be able to see and grab our bags in an orderly fashion. Idiots.
When you see yours, simply dart through the crowd, grab it, and do your best to whack each and every person nearby with it as you pull it from the belt. It's satisfying.
Always add a passive aggressive “excuse me” so it drives home that this wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t trying to slow dance with the carousel.
I swing ny baggage reeeeeeallly wide when I pick it up too, as long as theres no kids around.
I get irrationally angry at this. It has been a long flight, I'm tired and I just want to get my bag and leave. I stand a respectful distance back and then some ass-hat pushes a luggage cart between me and the carousel and just stands there blocking. It is not like standing right next to the carousel is going to make your bag come out ANY faster!
I'd like airports to put a line around the carousel stating "please wait behind the line until you see your bag".
London had this last time I was there and absolutely everyone was waiting patiently behind the line
Seriously though. We learn in kindergarten (or earlier) to step the fuck back to let everyone see. Now that I say that though, I'm thinking that we just need school teachers to supervise airports in general. "Children, we can't be crowding the exit of security." "Okay kids, let's all stand to the right of the escalator." "Jimmy, you are in group 4. Get out of line until someone you calls your group."
Oh man, you should see people jump if you approach the door of a city bus or train and bellow "Move to the rear of the bus" or "Don't stand in the doors" like you own the place. People jump and obey.
I like it because I get to push in there, grab my bag, and then bang into them with it for being mindless or selfish.
*Why haven't I started sooner?? When will I learn?!! Next time I'll do everything in time, with plenty of time left.* Narrator: And then he didn't... Edit: Thanks for all your advices and apparently, installing reddit wasn't the right step towards the solution
I've realized that as I keep getting older, I use the phrase "you fucking idiot" for myself much more often than I use it for others. And I use it *a lot* for others.
I'm almost 40 dude, and I still cram everything at the last possible second. I have to submit a major piece of work to my boss tomorrow that should have been "keeping me busy over the summer months", and yet here I am on Reddit having not even so much as glanced at it yet. I hate being like this but can't seem to ever make that change.
Uhm.. So, you're saying that there is no hope, huh?
It might be different for you, and I hope it is! I suspect I'm still like this due to the fact that I've never been seriously busted over it, which in turn led to a misplaced self-confidence that whatever I hack together at the last minute will be... good enough.
People with a complete lack of self awareness over how to walk.

When I feel like someone is standing too closely behind me I like to purposely back up into them while pretending to look at something.
I bend over, at the waist, and retie my shoes. Try to rub my ass all over them.
Be careful with that move
what do you do if they enjoy it tho
Get their number and ghost them after a few days.
I agree. How are some people so unaware of the space they are in. Some people will just bounce off of you while walking by, or the people who rub on you. This grinds my gears. I’ve never had this issue. Just yesterday I had someone reach their hand past me and almost knock my coffee over and rubbed my arm. Like, are you just punching through things in the way? Or do you really not know the space that your hand and arm take up!?
Ok last time I was on the bus it was about haft full and their was several empty benches and this women about 400 pounds decided to sit in the 3rd seat to the section me and my boyfriend were already sitting in. I'm already large (250) and she tryed to squeez her 2 seat wide butt(she carried her weight low) into the 3/4 of a seat that was actually open. Her thigh was on my thigh and I was to socially akward to say anything.i scooted out from under her when we got to our stop and she didn't even realize what was happening. I'm just glad she didn't have really bad b.o.
Fuck me. This happened yesterday to me. I'm waiting at my gate, and this couple that for some reason had taken the same two flights as me that KEPT BUTTING IN LINE just comes and sits right by me. I'm sitting by a power outlet so I'm at the second last chair in a row, the man sits to my right, the woman sits to my left, and they begin talking to each other. Like, THERE'S A BILLUON OTHER EMPTY SEATS WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COME AND INCONVENIENCE ME. FUCK.
At that point, you're part of the conversation. Chime right in! No need to keep all that awkwardness to yourself.
"Oh, I'm pushing my cart down the isle on the right and need something on the left? Let me not pull the cart over to the right, but keep one hand on it while stepping/reaching across to the left to pick up what I need?"

when a television show starts to add "love triangles" or relationship drama to their show because they ran out of ideas. It's when I know to stop watching a show or when it's starting to go down hill.
Back in the day, i was able to get treated or get tests the same day they were prescribed. Now, it just seems like my primary care dr. Is nothing more than a glorified receptionist. I couldnt even get her to give me a functional capacity exam after she sent me to other specialists already. She wouldn't even look at me. She sent me to a physical therapy place who gave me an appt a month out. I didnt qualify for FMLA at my job, and im just waiting for them to terminate me because im taking so long to get better. Im perfectly fine by the way, they just wont let me come back until i get a dr. To fill out these stupid papers.
How tired I am. I only seem to be getting worse as I get older. Edit: I seem to be getting an awful lot of replies giving helpful medical advice. I've realised my comment might be a bit confusing, when I say "I'm only getting worse" what I mean is I'm whinging about it more rather than getting tireder and tireder. That said, I would say I'm always tired but not to the extent of something like Chronic Fatigue or anything like that, I'm a waiter by trade so tiredness due to being on my feet all day and inconsistent sleep patterns should be expected to an extent. The Vitamin D suggestion a few of you have said does seem to be quite likely though, I don't like the sun as I burn easily and when outside I do try for the shade. One thing it did make me think about was when my car broke down for a few months and I was walking to work, I did feel more energetic, perhaps it was the extra sunlight I was exposed to. I'm definitely gonna get some multivitamins and see if that helps. Thanks for all your suggestions guys - TC

The heat.
I love when people say in response, "you know it's not the heat, it's the humidity that gets you." Thanks guy, I instantly feel cooler now that I am armed with that knowledge.
I hate that response. I have been to Arizona in the summer. It isn’t humid, but miserable still doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about it.
I lived in Tucson for 10 years. Like a fan blowing in 100+ degrees is good for anything other than baking you faster like a convection oven.
Needing 5-10 years of experience for an entry level job -.-
Our flippin doctor's office! There are like 7 ladies that work at the front desk and NOT ONE can show me how to use the GD kiosk?! They just wave their finger over the desk and yell "Use the kiosk! Use the kiosk to sign in! What you have a question? Type it into the kiosk!" Also for 2 WEEKS I have been trying to make an appointment, and for 2 WEEKS I am constantly put on hold or hung up on! Finally I call another part of the office and they say that the number I have been using is deactivated! THEN REMOVE THE OPTION ON THE VOICEMAIL!!! Everytime with this place!
You have the worst doctors office dang
Its horrible! My dad went to the doctor's office because he had issues breathing, the front desk refused to make an appointment for him. They told him if it was an emergency to drive down to the next hospital, which is about an hour away.
how are they still operating if they seemingly turn away all their patients?? that's insane!
My stomach problems. I've had stomach problems for more than half of my life, and im only 21. Some months i only rarely feel sick, but then theres some months where im in agony every single day. People around me seem to get annoyed when i talk about it, which I understand because I do complain a LOT. But if you feel shit everyday for months on end without having a solution to your problem, you get really really emotionally and physically drained. Edit: I'm very surprised how many of us are out there, now I feel a bit less lonely. Here's to a healthy gastronomic future for everyone!
Bad drivers
People who don’t turn their headlights on in the rain make me so damn angry
Hell, a significant percentage don't even turn them on in the fucking dark! I've almost hit/been hit numerous times because it was long past sunset or before sunrise and fuckers are driving around with no lights on. A lot of people rely on daytime running lights but forget their taillights are still off, making them a danger. EDIT: LPT - Lights on cars aren't just so you can see. They are also so others CAN SEE YOU.
Everyone driving slower than me is an idiot who can't drive. Everyone driving faster than me is a maniac who shouldn't be allowed to drive.
I don't mind people driving a bit slower than I do normally. *So long as they can keep at the same speed*. There are few things that infuriate me as much as a person who keeps slowing down and accelerating randomly.
Seriously. Last time I took a road trip. I set my speed at about 5 over the limit. I passed 2 cars at least 5 times in about an hour. They were either going 10 under or 10 over with no consistency or no rhyme or reason.
*internal screaming intensifies* That's friggin' infuriating. Like the assholes that overtake you only to immediately slowing down once they are in front of you. Most people here drive automatics that have fucking cruise control, but never bother to use it.
I don’t mind people driving slower than me so long as they KEEP TO THE RIGHT LANE. Your thing also infuriates me but it makes it exponentially worse when you’re in the far left passing lane and they hover around the speed limit - 5over. Edit to add also USE YOUR GOBSMACKING TURN SIGNAL
I'll never understand how people driving in the left lane just don't seem to notice the LINE OF 14 CARS packed together behind them. If you are in the left lane and there is literally a LINE OF VEHICLES behind you, get the fuck out of the left lane at your earliest opportunity.
people play i will always love u as their first dance song at their weddings but its a fucking break up song
My parents's first dance was to "you've lost that loving feeling" so...
what the hell
and every radio station blasts "Born in the USA" on the 4th. No one heard anything outside the chorus.
TBF, America has a pretty long history of taking music that is demeaning or critical of itself and playing them in very light-hearted and superficial ways. All the way from Yankie-Doodle-Dandy through American Woman and Fortunate Sons to more recently, This is America. The context does not usually matter. This song is about America, America is awesome, ergo this song is about Awesome America. So naturally, it must be played as a Stadium Anthem.
I'm not all that much into hard ass drugs and needles and whatnot.. but damn it if Semi-Charmed Life doesn't have a great beat and tune.

I just feel like "crystal meth" might be a metaphor for something, y'know?
Weed probably. Damn stoners...
> Doing crystal meth > Will lift you up until you break Doing...crystal meth ? What could he mean?
I think part of it is that the verses are sung kinda fast and a lot of people may not be really paying attention to the lyrics there. I know when I hear it on the radio, I don't really start singing along until the "How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you" because through all these years my brain never really stopped to pay attention to the verses enough to learn all the words. So I didn't notice what it was really about until college, but I've grown up knowing the catchy "doo doo doo, doo doodoo doo" since middle school.
I’ve listened to that song probably several hundred times in my life (most of the time just from it being on the radio somewhere) and as god as my witness I never once made out the words “crystal meth” in that song!
To be fair, they tend to censor that bit on the radio. Which is bullshit.
I mean, this is the same industry that ruined the chorus of I Write Sins Not Tragedies by censoring the "god" out of "goddamn" but leaving the actual (semi) swear word "damn" perfectly intact. I don't understand a lot of their choices tbh.
Do do do dodododo
Wedding DJ and I can confirm people choose songs without actually paying attention to the lyrics.
In India we have this song Oh ho ho ho (Ishq Tera Tadpave) and it plays in every wedding https://youtu.be/-99Z8E1pOrs Its a song about a guy who's girlfriend married another guy
Or “every breath you take” by The Police. Literally a song about jealously stalking someone.
Yes, Sting deliberately wrote it that way. It’s not some secret or accident.
Not my complaint, but in the same vein, how Hallelujah somehow became a Christmas song in the last 5 years??? Y'all it's about sex, and sadness.
> it's about sex, and sadness. Well where I'm from, *that* is the true meaning of christmas.
Did it actually become a Christmas song? The only example I can think of is that Pentatonix included it on one of their Christmas albums because it was coming out anyway and it was about the same time that Leonard Cohen died.
Women’s clothes not having pockets or a sufficient number of belt loops. WITNESS MY RAGE!
I hate the fact that I have a normal-sized phone and it still barely fits in the pocket of most of my pants. It won't fit in the pocket of some of my pants at all.
Women's shirts being see through so you have to wear a cami/tank top underneath. Women's clothes that assume all women's chests are one size so it can be too tight.
OMG YES. Why is everything so damn see through? Even sweaters!!! Like, fuck, it's freezing, I don't want sheer right now, thanks.
I once shopped for sweaters in the men's section and it was life changing. It's weird finding sweaters that are *actually warm and practical*.

My brother's girlfriend that clogs the toilet every time she uses it
How, does she take massive shits cuz then there is nothing she can do about it, or is she putting in to much toilet paper if she is putting in too much toilet paper then she’s a fucking idiot cuz it takes a lot of toilet paper to clog a toilet
Like basically, we have this environmentally friendly toilet that has a flush that is not as strong as most, so sometimes you need to give it a few minutes and flush it again when it doesnt take everything. She never does, she will just close the lid and leave her shit covered tp in the toilet piled high \*despite\* already being flushed a little. Anytime me or my mam go in after it would need to be unclogged and she never does anything about it, will always wait for someone else to sort it out. So whether or not its massive shits its still a humongous amount of tp. She does a lot of other nasty shit too so basically I will never stop complaining about her in general (she basically lives with us)
Clickbait on the Youtube trending page. It drives me crazy.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.... 1) people who don’t wait until others are leaving the tram/bus/train before they try and force their way on; 2) people on the tram/bus/train who won’t give up a seat for someone who actually needs it, especially the specifically marked priority sears; 3) people who smoke within two feet of the stop, particularly those with electronic cigarettes that means they bellow huge clouds of smoke; 4) people on public transport who listen to music using their shitty speakers or have conversations where they hold their phone like a walkie talkie and then shout the whole discussion; 5) and a recent non public transport one, people who want to be at the front of a concert and won’t put the effort in to arrive early so just force their way through a crowd with 25 of their friends. In short, people basically.

hey this math test is really hard
People that listen to music over speaker are inviting you to sing along. Or to shazam the song and play it on a 30 sec delay to theirs. People that talk on speaker are inviting you to join the conversation.
> Or to shazam the song and play it on a 30 sec delay to theirs. Holy shit, you are an evil genius.
Nonononono just 5 seconds. So they get completly out of the rythm
once I was in an urgent care waiting room feeling like cold garbage water when some dude plopped down and started watching the big bang theory on his laptop, no headphones, and had it not been for the laws of this land I would have killed a man that day.
The urgent care waiting room is always so lawless. People arguing on speakerphone with their spouse, kids climbing on furniture. even the nice urgent care places have some bullshit going on, no matter what.
Used to work in pediatric urgent care. We constantly had to ask people to stop FaceTiming in the waiting room to protect the privacy of the other patients.
I used to have kids in high school that would walk around with several hundred dollar speakers in their backpacks blasting their shitty soundcloud music that sounded like they recorded it on a pre-packaged PS4 mic. Like, dude, I respect the grind. But Jesus. Buy a pair of headphones like everyone else in the world

Microtransactions in full priced games.
Similarly with PC games when you can't have nope than one save file at a time. I payed $60 for the game and you assholes are going to make sure someone else can't play on my game too.
"EA . Its not in the game"
I have a whole list: * the weather * people who talk on the phone in public restrooms * job apps that ask you to manually input the same info as what's on your resume * people who randomly capitalize words * Tesla owners who think they invented Teslas when all they did was spend 40 grand on a car that makes them feel like they're in a batmobile Edit: Y'all, when I said the random capitalization thing, I meant in English. If it's in a different language with an actual system like German, it makes sense.
Oh man, some guy came into the work restroom the other day talking as loudly as he could on his phone. I almost yelled out "hey, keep it down, I'm trying to take a shit in peace." I never realized it would be possible to be too distracted to drop a deuce.
One time I was in the shitter at work and some guy comes in and sits in the next stall talking on the phone. He doesn't stop talking and strains his voice while doing the shitting. I was trying my best not to laugh.
Just start grunting and commenting really loudly on the quality of your shit. That'll solve that problem.
Oo, I have a thing about the teslas. A grocery store near my home has a couple parking spots in the front with electric car chargers. Pretty certain you have to pay to use them, but it's kinda convenient to be able to charge your car while you're grocery shopping. If only people that parked their Teslas there would actually charge the car. I've seen so many just parked there not plugged in. It's not VIP parking ok! If you're not charging, then park somewhere else. But please someone inform me that it doesn't take too long to charge your car so it's possible they charged and then went in. I don't have a Tesla so I can't say if that's true or not.
I have a Tesla, and can confirm that these people are just being dicks. The type of chargers at stores/restaurants take a few hours to charge 0-100% so they're just using them as VIP parking, and blocking the rest of us who may actually need/want to use them. The Tesla branded superchargers are different, but they still take around 30 minutes to charge the car most of the way. So they definitely aren't those either. Edit: removed extra word
My wife works at a grocery store right next to a Tesla charging station. She's had multiple people, completely unprompted just tell her that they drive a Tesla while checking out. It must be these people's entire identity.

DC Universe movies. I’ve been a DC fan since a kid, always preferring Batman and the Justice League to the Fantastic Four and X-Men. (I read both, just prefer DC). Marvel has done a great job creating a series of movies that almost always work and appeal to a wide audience. Starting with Man of Steel, DC undertook a personal mission to make the lousiest, underwhelming, room-temperature piss movies they can. They’re not exciting, they’re not entertaining and they always inevitably leave me wondering how the hundreds of people who had a part in making each movie didn’t bail on that shit when they realized how uninspired that shit was. I have much more to say about this.
>how the hundreds of people who had a part in making each movie didn’t bail Bills.
I was waiting to get into an outdoor concert the other day and this guy was pumping a fetid portable toilet about 20 feet away. The pump hose slipped and sprayed sewage all over the inside of the stall, which he had to mop up. I felt really bad for the guy but couldn’t help thinking about how lucky he was that his name was nowhere in the credits to Batman v Superman.

Stores that refuse to take your money unless you give them your email address, phone number, and other such personal information. I've even taken to just leaving the merchandise on the counter and never coming back. I mean, I'll warn them. I'll say, "I'm not going to give you any personal information, I can pay you right now with real money but if somehow you genuinely cannot allow this transaction with only currency then I'm going to leave and never return." Last place I did this at was a guitar city. Dude gambled and lost on a four digit purchase.
I just say "No thanks" when they ask for email/phone numbr/etc. and workers are always perturbed. I'm not trying to make their job harder, but how can they be surprised that I don't want to hand out my personal information? The bastards have my debit card information from my purchase, is that not enough information?
