"Oh yes sir please hold."
[Most obnoxious 10-second loop of music anyone could ever make.]
Robot voice: "Your call is important to us, stay on the line pls! ok thxx!"

I just wanna kill myself out of frustration sometimes. Like not even because I'm sad, depressed or confused but I legit just feel like plopping a bullet through my skull whenever I'm extremely pissed off.
Accuweather is shoving more and more clickbait shit in their site. I don't want another weather.com
How the fuck does realtek on motherboards support 5.1 through the 3 rear jacks just fine but the optical out can only do stereo? That's stupid. Having to use on of my card's hdmi ports for audio.
Hit a pothole and absolutely destroyed my tire. That was fun changing in below freezing weather.
This seems to me like a random doxx. That's never acceptable on FP.
Contact me on Discord if this is a misunderstanding.
When you're a not-good-looking person and people who's faces are a perfect oil painting think they can give advice on shit they never had to deal with. It's not very hard to say "oh well i'm sure it's not a big problem ur jus making it seem like that =]" when these problems never happened for them.
Fuck everything about health insurance in this country. Seriously, a fucking 12 grand deductible but you still have to pay 30% of the bills?? FUCK OFF. No wonder people demand universal healthcare fuck everything about the extortionate clowns.
Yesterday I finished the usual festive extra work with 4 weeks of standing next to an industrial oven at 170°C for 11 hours per day in mid summer.
And when I thought I can have 3 weeks of vacations, my boss tells me I have to come once per week to clean the machines because the other guy got an accident recently and there is nobody else in charge for maintenance, ruining my plans to travel to Chile for the vacations.
Ad creep on YouTube
I get that YouTube survives off of ad revenue, but the intrusion of ads has become absolutely ridiculous. Even just a few years ago, you would only ever see video ads at the start of maybe 1 out of 3 videos, and I believe you could always skip them after a few seconds. Now, it seems like virtually every YouTube video has a pre-video ad, and about half of the time, it’s one of those obnoxious 15 second ads that you can’t skip. But the icing on the cake is the ads that will interrupt you about once every four minutes during a video.
I know there’s the YouTube Premium service, but I absolutely refuse to dignify YouTube with a subscription to it, given how disgusting they treat and take advantage of regular users. At this point I would sooner jump over to a different video service. But who am I kidding; the only competitor in terms of scope and availability is videos on Facebook, but the ads on that are even more obnoxious. I hate how digital media is creeping ever closer to be like Fifteen Million Merits.
To be honest if you demand a free service you have to at least give up privacy or let them ad you. Making free users miserable to push paid subscriptions is going to hurt them more than you.
What bothers me the most is the acceptable content double standards. They'll gladly demonetize over a cuss word but allow advertisers to knowingly and willingly put fake/scam/phishing ads but google doesn't give the slightest shit. But apparently the have time to fuck over content creators.
Youtubers that get overly angry about unimportant pop culture shit.
Like the Film review channels who act like a bad movie existing is actually physically painful for them.
When you ask for help on one part of a game, and there's always someone that goes "uhh just try not sucking uhh". Thanks, saying that magically changed something.
I hate the FFXIV community for this exact reason. The general game population is constantly looking for any opportunity to jack off all over themselves about how much of an idiot they think you are, even if it means clearly intentionally missing the point of your question or observation completely.
One time I asked if it was possible to cancel an ongoing cast from within a macro and got dogpiled by people who took my question to mean "I don't know how to cancel casts" and proceeded to lose their collective fucking shit over what a braindead fucking moron I must be to not know that. Like, anyone who plays a caster for more than eight seconds knows that you can't move while channeling a spell without canceling it, so to make the assumption after playing the game for several years that I don't know that is an incredibly desperate stretch. So you get the idea, there's no fruit hanging low enough.
Another time I remarked how older fights don't let you respawn if you fall out of the arena, but later fights do, and wondered if they would change the older fights to match. I know the no respawn thing was to make the fights harder but they're been outleveled and outgeared by the players so much that it can be clutched with only like half the party alive. But it's boring to have to just watch while the party clears the fight slower without you and it doesn't make any difference in difficulty, so I'd rather just be able to revive so I can play the rest of the fight. I literally said all of this up front, only to have people be like "OMG THIS FIGHT IS EZ AND U WANT IT TO BE EASIER LOLOLOLOL U BAD" just completely ignoring what I had to say in favor of 15 seconds of sad, unearned flexing.
So yeah, nobody should do this, it just ruins the community of the games you play and makes you look like a tool.
Parts of a game can be badly designed with the game still being good as a whole.
There's an increasing amount of zoophiles appearing on Imgur in comments, five different accounts now I've found on front page posts with animals in them that are very, very nasty to read, just in the last week. Thankfully all downvoted to the bottom and out of sight, but seriously...
What the shitting fuck???
Another thing which really shits me off is when things in the media are unnecessarily vague. It’s hard to articulate the exact problem, so I’ll use an example: ‘Releases 3 / 5 / 2019”. Okay, so is that the 3rd day of May, or the 5th day of March? It shouldn’t even be an issue, but of course, North America uses month/day/year whereas the rest of the world uses day/month/year. And given that lots of media is American biased, it just creates confusion. Keep your idiotic month/day/year system, but please write the name of the month.
Even worse is ‘releases this fall’ which takes the American-centric thing way too far, because a) I’m pretty sure only in North America is Autumn referred to as Fall, and b) literally half of the world is in the southern hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed, so saying that something is to be released during a particular season also creates unnecessary confusion.
"Coming this Summer"... uh ok. Call me again when it is out.
You know what bothers me a lot? People posting shit on the internet like "Japan is in the future" or "Japan is weird" as if it is the norm but they do not even consider the context, it is only one place in Japan and definitely not the norm. Once again, we are not as special as the world thinks.
I mean Japan has some cool shit and I really enjoy going on a holiday there but people are pretty quick to fall into the weebtrap of thinking everything about the country is amazing. I wouldn't want to live there at all but I'd be lying if I said there's nothing I'd like to have back home (private Karaoke booths for one, I know I'd spend an insane amount of time and money there if I had access to them closer to home).
"Coming in 2020!!!"
wow i'll be sure to hold onto this excitement for over a fucking year

Excuse me?
When people use "body positivity" as an excuse not to better themselves and work out or eat healthy. IMO there is a difference between body positivity and self confidence where one can also see their flaws and work to improve them.
I wish there was a better way to find ice/hockey skates. I have a pair that don't fit my ankles that well at all but they're the closest I've been able to find by ordering different pairs, trying them on, and then returning them at a net loss.
Why don't skate manufacturers just... tell you how their boot fits?
Like, show you a fucking picture of "if you have this shape foot, then this boot will fit you" instead of "uhh if you're a size 13 then an 11 will fit except when it doesn't because the size changes depending on the manufacturer :\"
When I moved to a new town I arranged to get my PC sent over by courerier and they sent it to a town with the same name in Germany. They couldn't find the address there (because it didn't exist, obviously) and then wanted to charge me a €100 handling fee.
Despite, y'know, me having very clearly marked the parcel with the province and city code and, most importantly NETHERLANDS in big bold text.
I got my PC back eventually and didn't need to pay the fee but it took them 4 months to get it back to me.
This is me buying clothes ever. I firmly believe we should sell shirts with the same measurements we use to sell pants instead of this S/M/L/XL bullshit because they're so vague and manufacturers just ignore them when things start getting to the upper sizes. I think it's because they want to save money on fabric while still getting the "above XL" upcharge? I don't mind paying more, it's my fault I'm so big, but give me an actual fucking 2XL shirt that's not obviously just a relabeled Large that barely comes down to my navel.
How convenient of facebook to start shoving fucking ads for overwatch livestreams in notifications when I started playing the game again yesterday. "We DoNt LiStEn To YoUr MiCrOpHoNe". This bullshit should not be tolerated.
Youtubers who title their videos like feature stories but don’t capitalize them properly.
