Lies and deceit.
I feel like I’m being played for a fool by not telling me the truth and wanting to sugar coat it or something. I can’t stand it whoever it comes from, be it a stranger or my own mother.
People accusing me when I’m not the one responsible
Incompetence
Cars, plastic, capitalism and fascism.

To future readers, Would quotes better suite the flavor of the above post, or a conjunction of the colon with quotes?
It’s a real problem, but I hate filler words. “Um uh hmm” just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It’s at a level where I’ve seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn’t really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it’s so hard.
That’s sad to hear, especially since filler words are a vital part of our language
Not trying to contact people when they leave, they need contact unless they explicitly say they need time
Tailgating
I would tack on shitty drivers in general. People driving in the shoulder just bc they’re in a hurry or think they’re important, not using turn signals, not letting people merge, being distracted using their phone, weaving through traffic at high speed; things got way worse during the pandemic and they haven’t at all improved at least as far as I can tell.
Religious people sense of rightness
So much this. I was having a discussion with one religious zealot and he kept insisting, “he’s your god too” when I referred to yahweh as “his god”. No asshole, I don’t subscribe to your fairy tales. Though, in a nod to keeping the discussion civil, I limited my responses, to “no, I don’t subscribe to your beliefs.” Getting upset, yelling or insulting only plays to their ability to project victim-hood. So, it’s important to stay calm and keep the conversation rational and focused on the failures of their explanations. You will never convince the delusional to give up their delusions, but you can convince the other people around, who aren’t fully delusional, to question the delusions.
People who call putting an ipad in front of their kid “parenting”.
At this point, everything.
Hear you there!
Parents refusing to notice their children’s needs
Speciesism
I believe the word you’re looking for is anthropocentrism

Bullying, weather it is physical, intellectual or emotional…it just grinds my gears.
