Updates and privacy notices from the likes of Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook and a bunch of other apps.

Google, for example, are now telling me they'll be binning inactive accounts for Drive and Photos apps; and another notice about something new called "Smart Features" for Gmail, Chat and Meet. Which means you've got to read what these features do and whether it will "enhance your experience" blah blah

I just wish they'd leave things as they are and let users just focus on what works rather than just adding complications and time-consuming pap

When you try to peel the lid off a resealable packet but it doesn’t come off cleanly and you end up ripping it to shreds and wrapping it in foil/cling film. Winds me up. Happens every single time!

Maybe controversial?
But people that brag & try and push being a vegan on to you!
Like fair enough it is great that you're a vegan, but you know those people that are so aggressive that other people aren't vegan!?
You do you honey but leave me alone!! I don't wanna be a vegan!!

Can I say, as a vegan, normal vegans actually hate preachy, aggressive vegans. Mainly because they completely defeat the point of the goal of veganism! If you're being patronising, rude etc to people then they're never going to want to even attempt it. I love it when some one says to me "omg I tried this new vegan thing and I loved it" I'm like great that's amazing! Cause every little thing is helpful to the goal, even if it's just as simple as ordering the vegan burger at kfc, or having vegan mayo with your chicken salad. I always think that the aggressive vegans don't actually care about animals/the planet/health. They just want to be better than someone.

Another thing that winds me up is when people slag off people who aren't vegan but try vegan things. There's always YouTubers who do the whole "eating vegan for a week" or "trying vegan products" and you always get comments from dickheads like "if you're not vegan why would you buy vegan xyz" and I'm like... ok but even just a week, or buying cruelty free shampoo is something! All they do is put people off trying, makes us look crazy and militant! It really fucks me off!

FB Marketplace.

I have a listing that includes 8 photos and an extensive description.

People then message 'hi what condition is it'. 'Where u located'. 'What's the storage'. 'What colour is it'.

READ THE AD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over.

Update - 'how much is it'

GAHHHH - give me strength!

Humans: Loud chewers. Slow walkers. (pre-rona): Cretins that stand on the left side of escalators/travelators. People that suddenly stop in front of you. People that stop to chat shit in the middle of the entrance/exit instead of standing to one side out of the way.

Dogs: can do any of the above Bloody love dogs.

So annoying when folk go on about their kids growing up too fast. Where did the time go? How can he/she be (insert age)?? All grown up! (And they start saying that at like age 3). Where did my baby go? Time flies. I wish I could stop/freeze time.
The list goes on. It’s just boring to read. Kids grow up and it happens faster than any of us imagine. Just cool it with the meaningless phrases!

 

[The King in the North]

Chavs, who modify their already shit Corsa, only to drive around the block, just to try and impress the lasses on the block, then look like a tit doing it. Same with them idiots on motorbikes.

When someone asks a question on a public page on Facebook for example on a local area page someone might say "does anyone know what the new shop in the town is going to be?" Then multiple people will reply with the same answer. If I see someone has already replied then I leave it , why do people have to be the one to answer like they are special and have special inside info or something. I see this daily and it winds me up

I am quite into politics, especially the parts of it that effect other people who may not specifically be me. I share things on Facebook, as it is MY account and I am entitled to post what I like on my account, if you don't like it scroll past. My dad feels the need to confront me on things, especially posts calling out the local Tory MP. He's in love with him. He can't hear an opposing opinion, he doesn't care about anyone other than himself. Why should I have to restrict what I decide to share to please other people? Like, for example, I share posts about protesting women on the streets, since that's what the issue is right now, and he'll sit and scoff at me and roll his eyes. I also share things about men's mental health, he doesn't scoff at those.

Whataboutism. Particularly now, when they only care about an issue when it's to speak over someone else. Can guarantee a lot of these people have never cared about men's mental health until the subject of women came up. Same with the #savethechildren thing, only cared about when people were being asked to do something they didn't want to, they've all gone back to not caring now.

The people who used to batter on about 'freedom of speech' and 'human rights' (in relation to lockdown and masks) now suddenly don't care that these 2 things are imminently going to be stripped from them in the new policing bill. So these 2 things only really mattered when it suited them. Protesting is a human right, and it's astonishing to me that people don't seem to know that. Look at how many things protesting has achieved and people seem to forget that. Because the media decides to focus on the negative parts of protests, people who may go to cause trouble and take attention from the cause.

The argument about the AZ vaccine. Millions upon millions of people have been given that vaccine and a few have had blood clots so some countries have suspended it. The Pill (contraceptive) gives 1 in 1,400 women blood clots and it's still being given out after a simple questionnaire. I'd say I don't get it, but I do. The AZ vaxx affects men, the Pill doesn't.

Couples posting pictures on SM over Christmas / New Year. I say this as someone who is over the whole dating/couple/romance things but it’s so jarring - just enjoy your time together & get off your phones. No one gives a shit about your matching couple pyjamas. Seriously.

 

[bunnyboo]

Got a bunch of happy "St Patty's day" from a bunch of American colleagues (I'm Irish). I actually explained to them that it's St. Paddys day... and I got corrected by them lmao. Sure what would I know? I just.. I can't. I also don't know why these yanks are like oh my great great great uncle twice removed was from Ireland, therefore I'm half Irish. Fuck off you plastic paddy

 

[Mamacita]

People who say Boris is doing the best he can.

Well I truly believe he is, it's just his best is shite

 

[Hastaggifted]

My dog has started waiting until it is completely silent in my house and will come right up behind me and start barking as loud as she can. Scares the shit out of me. I'm pretty sure she finds it hilarious as sometimes she does it a couple of times a day, usually when I am holding something.
Annoys me more than immensely

 

[Warpaint]

When I've loads of work to do and my colleague decides it's going to be a chatty day

 

[bolimepipi]

when you're watching a movie with someone who read the book that inspired the movie and they keep saying: ''this is not how it was in the book'', ''in the book he said this and that'', ''this was way better in the book'', i'm watching the movie ffs, i'll read the book if i want to know about that version (i say this fully knowing that i sometimes am this person )

Video group calls for socialising. I hope they are left behind in 2020. The only person I like videoing is my mum. This Christmas we videod my in-laws and SIL and her husband and kids. It was God damn awkward. None of us are extroverts. I couldn't wait for it to end.

How memory can recall the slightest things from 40 years ago, and yet can barely remember what I did yesterday

 

[Bizziebody]

Uneducated 'influencers' claiming to know all about how dangerous the COVID vaccine is and how they won't have that 'poison' injected into their body. Fair enough, but you clearly had no problem with the face fillers and fake breasts.

 

[onlyheretoorbit]

Spending 5 mins stood in the supermarket waiting for some dithery twat to choose between two own brand tins of beans just so I can grab what I need and keep moving. Or a couple sizing up packets of chicken breasts while their trolley and three offspring block off the entire meat chiller. And then they look at me like I'm the dick because I'm stood waiting.

Maybe it's just Aldi, but the staff also tend to leave their bloody crates and pulley things in front of shelves so you can't get to them. One last week told me off to stepping on a crate to reach a bottle of water - maybe don't leave it there then?!
