Pet Peeves

Have you ever had a bag of chips that wasn't inflated?

The chips are all smashed up.

They're not lying about the air serving to protect the contents, even if it also has the benefit of making the bag look fuller.

I hate when people immediately jump to the most cynical explanation as the exclusively correct explanation when it's not even the best supported explanation, it's just the most emotionally satisfying explanation because it dovetails the best with their miserable outlook towards the world.

Contents may settle during transport

When this happens with anything I especially want to post from YouTube:

*Starts watching a YouTube video*

Me: Oh good, it just gets right into it without any introductions or self-advertising...

*Turns out it was starting with previews*

Then...

Youtuber: Hellooooo, what is up guys, welcome to my channel, if you haven't done so already please hit that like button and subscribe, also follow me on Instagram, my link is in the description and again don't forget to subscribe so you'll get brand new content every day...

*Hits the "back" button*

Modern YouTube videos really aren't ADHD-friendly. All I want to do is watch the video. I click videos for the content of the video, not for the person's channel. I don't subscribe to anything because I don't want endless notifications and even if I switch them off I'd still be bombarded with the same content in my feed until I get sick if it.

^^if you get lucky. sometimes they have timestamps. So it's easier to skip past the intro, not all videos though. I'm not sure how they choose which ones get that

When I want to listen to a nice song on YouTube and advertisements use crappy songs.

Ads that keep stealing the page so the phone keypad disappears while you're typing on some websites. I would pay for every website I visit to stop this s**t from happening but I can't afford it. Adblock exists but there's got to be a catch, because if it was completely free with no ads then everyone would be using adblock and ads wouldn't gain their purpose.

shifting sands of wiki
also wiki panhandling while it is only 'authoritive sources' in this day&age

i used to classify, if it has a donate button, its a paid-for site, eg; religions
but i don't see these anymore
once i went to a meeting of support of a thing
obligatory press photographes taken, sus and then some whipped out a donate thing to pass around- huh is it church?
ofc i hadn't forseen that, no money in the pocket and awkward moment when you get it in your hand but you have nothing
why is everyone watching, wasn't it about the 'cause'? its never about the cause in nt land,
the cause is the stone of upward measuring
o-o-o

People chewing, lol and you can't exactly tell people not to chew their food. But I hate the sounds even though I am not innocent of making the same noises I don't want to hear from other people. So that is a pet peeve I have to do my best to ignore or I will seem like a rude a**hole.

Well you could always pay for premium but it's like 16 dollars a month, but then also no ads. To me it's worth it because what else am I possibly going to do with that 16 dollars, like to me getting unlimited add free songs is worth it.


But also commercials have found their way into video streaming as well, there was a blissful time for a minute you didn't have to deal with ads anymore but they've come back with vengeance it seems. people literally paying a bit more just not to be interrupted by ads. But for sure a lot of newer ads just have loud abrasive music that interrupts anything you're trying to really listen to.

People who buy cheap particle board furniture, like say a desk, in humid, hot climates, where they're sure to get a white-frost-looking mold growing out of them. Wiping it with soapy water won't help; the mold will just grow back.

hey man, some of us are poor and that particle board furniture is all we can afford. That said me and my boyfriend have never gotten mold on it...idk maybe the dry colorado climate helps. That said we have also thrown out a lot of particle board furniture and we've been working on upgrading a bit...but we are rather poor so it's a process. But like particle board is not nessisarly a laziness thing. Like sometimes you need a table and you only have so much you can spend so you get something that is less than ideal but more ideal than nothing.

If mold doesn't grow out of it, then I'm not blaming you for it. Mold is bad for people's lungs and general health.

Pro tip: on the undersides of the furniture if one shines a flashlight 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the surface, so the light shines across the surface, one will be able to see any mold really easily.

I don't really hear people chewing but I get irritated by coughing and sneezing sounds. I also can't stand the sound of loud motorcycles, babies crying, and people moving around in the room above me. Strange how all the sounds that drive me insane are made by people.

When people suggest to me to buy a white noise machine to drown out the noise from the noisy a**holes upstairs. I've tried fans and the TV and other things but it doesn't drown out the noise of footsteps above, because of the vibration. White noise might help drown out noise next door or below, but not above. Neighbour noise (that isn't anti-social) is worst coming from above. At least next door and below you don't hear them walk across the room or brats dropping toys on the floor. Ouch.

All of the above seriously irritates me
