Pretty simple and straightforward! So tell us what grinds your gear. There are things that we usually will be calm and collected at. But there are a few which just pisses us ALOT.

1. When people call me short
2. When people cannot spell my name right
3. When people who should know how old I am mistake me for being a lot younger than I really am (an example would be a person in my graduating class thinking I'm a freshman despite us having known each other for the past four years)
4. People talking to me like I'm a little kid
5. People telling me I'm wrong in a very pompous manner (I don't mind being told I'm wrong but if you do it in a very "haha I'm better than you because you are wrong and I am right" manner you will most likely get a kick to the legs)
6. People referring to my interests as "childish"
7. People telling me that my opinions are wrong, "just because"
8. People telling me that my hating teachers is wrong because they like that teacher
9. People purposefully using my painful past against me
10. People replacing me in friend groups (happens more often than you would think)
The list of things that piss me off can fill the pages of a dictionary.
But we'll start at one. People, when you're done unloading grocery bags into your car, put your damn shopping cart in the shopping cart area. Don't just leave it lying around the parking lot because 1) Someone has to go get it eventually, 2) It takes up a parking space, 3) It can roll off and hit a parked car, and 4) It's f-ing rude.
I don't care how much of a rush you're in. Unless someone's dying, there's no reason you can't spend an extra twenty seconds putting it away.
being interrupted or ignored when i talk
being misgendered after ive told someone my pronouns
when people leave the toilet lid up instead of putting it down after theyre done, like not the seat but the actual lid when there is one, i dont know why this bothers me but it Just Does
also when people leave cabinets and drawers and stuff open and then just leave the room, i understand occasionally forgetting but when its a consistent thing its so obnoxious to me for no reason at all
Let's see.
--People honking a millisecond after a light turns green. When people do that, I really feel like putting the car in neutral, put my foot on the accelerator to make it look like I'm trying to move, and then put my hazards on to make it look like there's some kind of car failure. I have never actually done this, but oh, the temptation!
--Tailgaters. When people do this to me on the highway, sometimes I try to match my speed with the speed of the car directly on my right so speeding around all of us becomes that much more difficult for the person that has their impatient panies in a bunch. Also, I just happen to decide that's a great time to use my washer fluid. Now this, I've actually done.
--Looking for a job and all the nonsense that involves. I honestly feel I could do a whole standup comedy skit on just this alone.
--Interviews. Basically an exercise in how good you are at white lies. If you help train me well, I can do anything, let's just leave it at that.
--Smartphone batteries dying after barely even using them for anything. For all the wonderful and amazing things smartphones can do, they sure can't do them for very long at all.
--Grinding/farming in MMOs/RPGs. Way to make a game feel more like work. When games start requiring excessive amounts of this to get ahead, that's usually about the time I move onto something else.
--Discussion about politics. It's the fastest way to lose faith in humanity.
--Atheist rants/insults. If you don't believe in God, that's your own business, but don't talk down to me just because I do, because I don't even want to hear it. Let's just agree it's better we keep our beliefs to ourselves, please.
--Debates with hardcore vegans. I've seen them, and I've wanted to wish I hadn't.
I'll be honest, usually I'm a very chill kind of guy, so even when I see this stuff, I kind of just let it pass along, but deep inside, I'd want to drop it all in a fire. A lot of the basic stuff like spam mail, sales calls, and stuff like that could be put on there, but that's already on everyone's list.
I should also add a big one for me that hacks me off to no end:
-Being called a lesbian any time I am seen hanging out with a girl. Like, I get I hang out with guys more than girls, but oh my gosh, that does not equate me hanging out with girls on rare occasions meaning I'm dating them. That is not how lesbians work. At least, I don't think. I wouldn't know because I'm not a lesbian and hate getting called one since my childhood reasonings. @Suicune's Fire is this how lesbians work? Do you just ignore other females all together and the only girl you hang out with is your lesbian girlfriend? Because I could be very wrong but I'm pretty sure this is not how this works!
It works the same for guys. If two friends are hanging out and having fun, why the hell do some people think there's a sexual relation there? Yesterday, my friend and I went to the movies to go see Captain America: Civil War. No problem with that. And yet, neither of us are homosexual. So where do people get the idea that something like that makes it so? Since when does it go from "two guys hanging out and doing fun stuff" to "a gay date?"
Man, and some people wonder why no one wants to leave the house anymore.
Right? I can remember one time my best friend and I were at a football game and we were supposed to man the cameras for the jumbotron. However, something happened (like the cameras couldn't connect or something) so we got the game off and went and hung out with some of our ROTC friends. Well, one of the kids there had brought his younger brother along. Everything was fine until the ROTC had to go do something at half time, so it was just me, my best friend, and this guy's younger brother. IMMEDIATELY after the ROTC kids are out of earshot, the younger brother turns to my best friend and I and goes "So are you two lesbians?" Of course, both of us are in the initial shock phase of this (I was more shocked at being called a lesbian than anything since this is before my memory resurfaced), but this kid took that as either we didn't understand or a silent yes, so he just continued. "So you like that pussy huh? Y'all hang out in the seventh stairwell (that's the forbidden acts stairwell just FYI) a lot?" Long story short, the kid wouldn't shut up, was convinced we were lesbians, and I had to keep my best friend from ripping his head from his neck the entire night. But like, where did he get the idea from since literally in the hour he had known us all we had done was laugh at pictures we showed each other and talk to people. We didn't share food, hold hands, kiss, or anything else that couples do. I don't know where this idea came from or if this kid was just perverted.
