It's also pretty funny when most actors from the UK attempt American accents. It's almost always really bad and almost sounds like AI attempting to fulfill some prompt. Generic and unnatural. Very, very few UK actors can ape any kind of regional US accent. This is why I respect Liam Neeson. It seems like he basically concluded: fuck it, I'm Irish, I can't do any other accents, so I'll just pretend to be an American that sounds Irish.

Edit: Northern Irish I should have qualified, before anyone from the likes of Dublin or Castleknock attempts to fight me.

Is it Festivus already? The airing of grievances thread!
people standing in the middle of main arteries just checking their phone or talking - move to the side!
commentating a match footy, snooker etc as if I didn't just watch the exact same thing. "that's a goal"

 

[nightfly]

Women that have really ugly tattoos. There's a woman that lives near me I see outside fairly often that looks rather okay but she has these really ugly tattoos of bats all up and down her arms and legs, just.... Ughhh.

 

[E-Cat]

Poor spelling.

People in stores standing there, or with their carts in the middle of the aisle. I dont think they mean to do it. Just clueless people with tunnel vision. They have zero sense of etiquette (seems like they never grew up with any) and like Liam Neeson said it that Batman movie "you got to know your surroundings". It's obvious they dont know.

Related to that, people who dont hold the door open when someone is near. I always do at stores or at work. Some people just dont give a shit. I swear that every Indian person at work doesn't give a shit and will just let the door slam in your face even if you're right behind them.

Yep. Broadly speaking, any act that clearly shows somebody 1) has no awareness of their surroundings and 2) doesn’t give a shit about others. Obnoxious in normal situations, dangerous in dangerous situations because it’s the people that will tramp you / literally throw you under a bus to save their skin and not even notice.

Another one is piercings. If you have 10 earrings per ear and/or eyebrow / chin / nose / lip / tongue / bellybutton piercings my mind will make a lightning-fast judgement on you and believe me, it’ll be correct 9 times out of 10 even if you’ll never be able to admit it to yourself.
Tats are different because they may be telling a story about you that’s years old, just indelibly marked on your skin. The choice to keep a piercing is one you make every single day.

 

[Hudo]

I only judge people when they try to force, harm or bother people with their beliefs/idiology/principles (whatever they may be) and refuse to accept that other people might disagree. That's really the only think that actively makes me not want to interact with a person.
For example, I live 10 minutes away from a Jehovah's Witnesses "Temple" (or however they call they gathering building) and sometimes, they come knocking at my door and try to bother me with their shit. I still remain friendly and close the door on them with a "not interested, sorry" but I still think they're assholes.

Americans who try to do a British impersonation.

You can't. None of you. Just stop.

Are you British?

 

[AV]

Being French.

 

[Spaceman292]

For me it's how they like their steak, if they drag their feet when they walk, and if they wear pajamas in public

I hate people who judge other people over how they like their steak. Same goes for coffee snobs, beer snobs, pizza snobs. Basically any food try hards.

 

[Spaceman292]

Chew with your fucking mouth closed if you want me to give you the respect due to a human being.

Anyone who chews with their mouth open should be left in the wilderness with the rest of the beasts

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Attentiveness

 

[BlackTron]

One girl I dated a short time had some health and behavior issues. I noticed she didn't eat breakfast, but she did have a coffee each morning with like 15 sugars in it instead. Ummmm, yeah....it was definitely one of the red flags that I might not be able to fix this lol

Understandable. There's being a snob, and then there's suicide by coffee.

 

[Days like these...]

People who don't bathe daily and people who have "Blessed" tattoos are harshly judged instantly.

 

[UnNamed]

When people you know stare at you without salute you because they wait to you to say hi first, and if this didn't happen, they just move on.

 

[ShadowNate]

Bad parking, double parking, parking on a illegal spot. That's probably not innocuous though.

Click baiting.

 

[HoodWinked]

Not innocuous these are all sufficiently adequate to be harshly be criticized for.
If anything people need to be shamed more, people are way too damn comfortable out in public.

And starting sentences with 'so' use your imagination ffs.

people who assume you want to smoke their schwag 2.0 / PGR weed that they think is so "fire" and then call you a weed snob when you turn it down

 

[Winter John]

Them people that if you mention a movie or a band you like they’ll immediately come out with some obscure bullshit and claim it’s way better. They always do it in the most patronising way possible too. They can’t just be fuckin guys about it. Gotta act like superior assholes. Fortunately they a minority.

 

[navii]

Toasting sandwiches or baguettes. What a way to absolutely destroy some perfectly good ingredients. If it's not a burger, it shouldn't have the internals heated, pressed, melted and fused together.

I get it, you got some day old bread and saggy lettuce, this will bring your half dead sandwich zombie back to life. But to put some fresh ingredients into that is an atrocity.

 

[Billbofet]

People that Facetime as they walk around in public, like grocery shopping.
Along those same lines, people that continue to talk on their phone as they are transacting at a restaurant or store.
People that back into parking spaces

 

[Scotty W]

If they like superhero films

 

[AlteredForms]

People having way too many kids. Especially in countries that aren’t their own. Be good guests and don’t be a liability to the system.

Yes it's fucking terrible. And it's even worse because you know Glen thinks it's good because he's a maniac.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

People who bring smelly food to work and make it in the cafe microwave. Stinks up the room and microwave. And not once have I ever seen one of them wipe down the microwave as you can see bits of food exploded inside. Even worse is when they bring their food to their desk so it stinks up the entire floor.

Another one. In the bathroom guys who dont flush the urinal. Also, I think it has to do with guys with droopy dicks or they are uncircumsised, but before they piss they take a paper towel and wipe their dick at the urinal. Then they either toss it in the garbage as a piss rag or toss it in the urinal clogging it up. Then the custodian has to clean it out.

Some people are plain gross with zero sense of etiquette. Just imagine how gross their car and how house are.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

People having way too many kids. Especially in countries that aren’t their own. Be good guests and don’t be a liability to the system.

People with too many kids anywhere is a problem UNLESS they can satisfactorily cover them as good parents with a roof over their head. Problem is it sure seems most people with tons of kids are trashy deadbeat families, or live in a dirt poor country which you'd think is the last kind of place to have 6 kids. But that's wat you get with people who dont give a shit about birth control pills or going to Walmart to buy a pack of rubbers for $10 and leave it in your night stand. Its sounds super easy to handle, but some people have no sense of responsibilties....

........OMG I'm pregnant! What am I going to do?........ Well, it's not hard to understand you and Jim Bob might be getting a baby if he blows his load inside you. Duh.

As usual, the rest of society (who are responsible enough to get through life self sufficiently) has to cover their asses with taxes.

In life, the better you do the better you are rewarded. But taxes are the only thing where the better you do the worse you get grilled. Not only does someone pay more tax $$$ the more they make, but it accelerates as it'll be progressive tax rates making it even more than it should be. Makes no sense. But the only way for government to survive is rely on people who can pay to cover deadbeats.

 

[Rran]

Public spitting.

Absolutely horrendous.

 

[John Marston]

Bad grammar in work emails.
Especially from Leads or Bosses.
I just giggle, lose all respect for them and delete the email.

Here's an example from my memory of an email asking us to do Overtime back in 2007 ( In french because Montreal):

"Bonjours,

Ces le temp de faire de lovertime donc jaimerait que vous soyé disponible car ont a baucoup de job pis on es en retar.

La bouffe es payer faque svp votre effor est aprécier merci."

Don't even google translate that shit because it will explode in your face

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Poor knife skills. If you are filming yourself while cooking at least act like you know what you are doing. It could be the most delicious recipe tutorial on the Internet but if the person can't hold a knife properly I'm not taking you seriously. Same thing if the knife is obviously duller than a spoon.

As for more real life day too day stuff; how you act at the grocery store. People that park themselves in front of the meat counter for minutes on end drive me crazy. You do not need to examine ever package of steak and ground beef is not that complicated that you need to do calculous to figure out how much it takes to made a hamburger

I damn near had to fire a guy at a restaurant I was a supervisor at, because the dumb fuck couldn't be bothered to keep his knives sharp. Bitch I'm not going to be the reason you claim worker's comp after injuring yourself from a dull knife slip.

- How they like their steak

- if they are a degenerate fan of a Boston sports team

- Their top video games of all time

- Whether or not they shower before bed

- Whether or not they consider the incessant moaning and incoherent yelling of modern music to be "good music"

- Whether or not they consider Burger King to be food

- Whether or not they think Band of Brothers is the greatest peace of filmmaking this side of the millennium.

People with poor hygiene piss me off

I remember a hilarious thing I saw in gridlocked traffic in Miami when a piece of shit opened the door to his Mustang, and set a McDonald's bag on the pavement at a red light. As he closed the door it got caught up in his door, and the bottom of the bag rose up a few inches off the street.

Yeah you take that garbage back to your house.

This one put me in a good mood.

Yeah bro? You found some chick classy and potential pair-bond material when you were rubbing one out watching her getting railed by three dudes at the same time but then she got a tattoo and it was like "ick gross can't get boner anymore"?

Wearing shoes around their house. It's not even my own house, why should I care? And yet it still bugs the hell out of me.

I'll double that issue. I'd stomp around my apartment in Japan with my shoes on.
