It's like an assault on my ears

How the BBC make out as if media city is Salford

It's not Salford. It's Trafford.

I'm from Salford and that's why it annoys me. It's no wonder we have immigration problems when the media are telling lies about what our cities look like


Media City. Salford is nowhere in sight as far as I'm concerned


Salford

Yeah well I still say it's not Salford

Anti-vaxxers

Videos with the title "Only 70s/80s/90s kids remember these things!" I find it so annoying for some reason. Maybe because it's going on as if we're supposed to be special or superior for growing up without a phone we could take everywhere we went or something stupid like that.

A lot of people have their nostalgia filter on too high, if you know what I mean.

Mothers when they tell their babies to "stop growing". I know they like to enjoy the moment but they sound like their baby has just reached adolescence or something, when the baby is actually only like 3 months old. Personally I prefer toddlers to babies, because practically they still are babies but you can engage with them better and they can talk back and don't require bottles of milk that have to be warmed up every few hours. Babies are, dare I say it, a pain in the ass and are always farting, burping, and dribbling.

People telling me what I should think, like or do, since being polite or quiet is typically taken as in need of advice. Nope, not ever, unless specifically asked.

Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I'm not doing something. My slow brain needs downtime to catch up to everyone else. People seem to just function in real time. I'm always delayed. I took an IQ test that said my processing speed was way slow. Congruently, it took me years to understand what that meant.

When autocorrect changes a very commonly used word to another very commonly used word, and you don't notice. Like mine often changes "or" to "of", or "say" to "day". Ugh! These are the sort of words that your brain often misses when typing on your phone even if you're reading the text as you're putting it in, and you only notice it after an email is sent (because as an ADHDer I just want to send it before proofreading lol), and then you hope the other person who receives the email knows what you mean and ignores the embarrassing error.

Being sick

Someone somewhere is getting paid big bucks for suggesting "Put bits of Oreo in it" at every single Cadbury product development meeting.

When there's a language option online and they always either show the USA flag or the UK flag (sometimes both) for English. As if those were the only two places where people speak English. It's not even an official language in the US like it is in Canada.
