Ask Lemmy

I remember that thing I hate: Ice cream melting faster than your consumption speed. Aaaaarrrrrrrgghhhh I hate it!

Plug in air fresheners.

If I rent an Airbnb which has them I will hunt every single one down and it's going straight out the window.

New year's eve. I'm generally not a depressed person but new year's eve just reminds me of the unstoppable passage of time and how I have one fewer year left here and haven't achieved a fraction of what I want to. Just really depressing stuff, generally. Being at a party with cheerful friends and alcohol helps a bit.

Same with birthdays a bit, but not as bad.

I have a weird dislike of Tom Hanks. It isn't hate, but I find myself inexplicably hostile towards him. No idea why.

When people linger in doorways. We're not hanging out with you because you're cool; we're trying to get past you. In or out, you're wasting the heat/AC!

Newspapers who use the word "ouster" but as a noun, not a verb.

"With Torres conspicuously absent from City Council and committee meetings and events in District 3, the mood quickly changed from offering Torres due process to calling for his ouster as many residents and organizations felt Torres was in no position to effectively represent his constituents."
—Devan Patel, The Mercury News, 6 Nov. 2024

"Niccol’s surprise hiring in August — announced alongside Narasimhan’s ouster — was greeted with widespread praise from the Club and Wall Street, with Starbucks market capitalization soaring by $21 billion in a single day, to nearly $109 billion."
—Kevin Stankiewicz, CNBC, 23 Oct. 2024

"The news of Hinton’s award comes weeks away from the first anniversary of Altman’s brief, stunning and ultimately unsuccessful ouster—as well as the second anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT at the end of November 2022."
—Christiaan Hetzner, Fortune, 9 Oct. 2024

"That experience was in the back of my mind when reading about the struggles at CVS Health, which owns Aetna, and the ouster of CEO Karen Lynch last week."

Ouster - One who ousts.

people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer

You think I have that much time in my life to list all of them!?

The one that pops into my head immediately is:

There is a special place in hell for people who don't hug the curb when yielding to traffic before making a right hand turn. Instead they take up the half the through lane and half the turning lane, meaning that the person behind them can't pull forward.

Myself

I hate getting my feet wet in the bathroom because someone else dripped all over the floor/rug because they didn't dry themselves before they got out of the shower. Especially when I have socks on. Dry your entire body before you take any body part out of the shower. 😤

I hate when people use my shoulder as support, as I'm showing them something. Simply... don't, okay?

The habit of people to skip any or all nuance in assessing a situation because it's "more palatable".

A good example of this is familial relations. Family is more than just "parent", "child", "sibling", "friend", and/or "spouse", you could have grey areas where something would come off as not quite one thing or another thing. Age-gap siblings can develop into having an aunt or uncle who is younger than you, or you might be older than your step-parent, or you might manifest a relationship in a way that contains some aspects of a friendship, etc. But there are people who don't want to hear any of the buts about it, they just want a one word answer.

Dogs. I don't want to hear about yours and if I'm in public keep your dog away from me.

The word "poop". It sounds so disgusting and I can't bear it if anyone over 6 years of age uses it. Say shit or crap or manure or even stool, just not that stupid nauseating word.

~~I'm sorry, but why do you care if people wear hot clothes in warm places?~~

For me it's enshittification, stupid policies in any institution or just overrergulation in general.
