I think it's because I grew up drinking diet pop in the bad old days before non-terrifying artificial sweeteners and now the regular stuff just tastes too sugary. I hope you also agree that stevia/splenda diet coke are disgusting. I'll take the mostly made up and misconstrued/disproven health risks of aspartame over that stuff any day.

Every person I've known that outright dislikes pizza has been from the east coast, and I never thought much of it until I visited New York and all of the pizza had sauce that was loaded with sugar. Sugar doesn't go there, what the gently caress.

I'm picking up some shifts as a delivery boy for a deli on some nights to not be as poor, and that means tips, and that means I try to spend that cash day-to-day to save actual paychecks. Self-checkout machines should tell you they are card-only before you start scanning. Stop making me have to shuffle away and unbag my first item like an idiot, machine. You are the idiot!

I played a song from a Spotify playlist in my PC browser and it opened Spotify on my phone and started playing it there, too. WTF? Then this morning, after my phone paired to my car, Spotify pulled an "Imma let you finish" on my usual music app, cutting off my local MP3s to pick up where it left off on the playlist. Who asked you? Go away!

You are the idiot! This, but in reverse. My local supermarket clearly labels the card only machines with big green signs and there's usually a staff member to point this out if there's a line. Scan your first item: this is a card only machine, do you want to continue? I can read and my ears work, stop bothering me!

It has nothing to do with age but "is a thing" is an infantile phrase. It's meant to make the speaker sound chipper and is a substitute for a range of more precise phrases. It comes from the same linguistic sewage pipe as TED talks. Just look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsn4z7bNb14 The channel topic is potentially interesting but it's delivered in such a grating style that I just don't want to watch it.

Peeve: Low effort humans. Don't expect me to keep giving you my best if you are going to half rear end everything. (You may be exempt if you have depression or something) Don't expect me to shoulder the burden if you insist on doing as little as possible in the project/conversation/friendship/whatever. Living that  life yo!

Apparently eastern and western variants of "standard american" or whatever you call it are actually diverging at present so maybe that has something to do with it? It doesn't sound affected at all to me. "Quirky affectation" in people who sound like me is usually like, talking about watching telly or calling your friends "mate" or going "bloody hell" Yes quirky people are all teaboos why do you ask
