Uncomfortable pants, loud music in restaurants, willfully ignorant people.

Reading snobbery. I have friends who say they'll only read Prix Goncourt or Pulitizer or Governor General's Award books. If that's your lane, good on you. I read some of that stuff, but I also read lots of fantasy/sci fi and I can't tell you how often friends opine that's adolescent stuff.

This is mine too, though I’ll extend it to social snobbery. Read only popular fiction? Eat fast food? Listen to cringeworthy bands? If you’re happy, I’m happy.

When you write a short informative email with a bulleted list etc and someone replies with a question that is answered in the original email. I now just copy and paste the original email with nothing added and hit send.

THE WORST!! Ugh!

Coworkers to whom I have told something to multiple times who still ask the same question.

Uncomfortable clothes and shoes. Actually being uncomfortable at all. If you give me a wee chair that is going to leave me bruised, I have no problem saying, "I'm not going to fit in that chair."

wendywimmer.bsky.social•47 days ago

Same! I have decided that it's not MY fault that they have provided a chair that would be uncomfortable but tolerable for people with a BMI under 30. If I don't say something, then they never know to change it.

Willful ignorance.
And long lines at a drive thru.

wendywimmer.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ooooh yeah, long lines. Sometimes I don't care because I'm listening to an audio book, but if it's for, say, coffee or something, clearly they are overclocked and I'd be just adding to the staff's strain. I don't need coffee that badly.

Among a host of other things: Uncomfortable clothing; dressing up in general.

NO MORE HARD/RIDICULOUS HEEL SHOES please and thank you.

Unnecessary noise, others wasting my time, people-pleasing.

Early flights. I used to take the earliest flight possible because they were generally cheaper and also, it maximized my time at the destination, but especially when flying west, it just maximized my jet lag/exhaustion. Also I hate flying so I'm not making it more miserable.
