Not really a pet peeve per se, but I just saw someone finish their opinion with "and this is the hill I live on" Like wtf are you a Peppa Pig character, that's not what the phrase is

The most frustrating thing about making videos is I do my best to make interesting insightful commentaries about stuff I care about and get maybe a couple hundred views a day and a thousand subscribers, then some idiot harrasses some strangers in a mall and makes millions. Obviously I'm not letting it discourage me, but it can sometimes feel like I'm shouting into the void.

UX designers going: hey how could we be as annoying as possible? At some point my phone got a messages/sms app update, and now it launches an animated popup going 'Save this number as a contact????' at the top of every conversation with a non-contact number, where I haven't already dismissed it. If I do not manually dismiss it, it will pop up again every time I open that chat until it does. No, app, I do not want to add this person who sent me 1 message a week ago to my contacts. I'd understand it if it came up on numbers you've messaged a bit, or are in regular contact with, but the fact that it fires off on every single delivery/electrician/worker/rando is incredibly obnoxious. I do not understand why 'nag, pester, and annoy the user as much as possible' is the default state of ux design nowadays. At the very loving least add in a counter where it doesn't pop up until I've had 5+ messages with the contact or something. Or take the loving hint that if I don't interact with it, stop doing it. If I want to save a contact I'll do so! Christ. (I swear it seems like they have internal metrics about how much users engage with different UX elements, and they have insanely loving skewed views about gaming said interactions instead of making stuff good.)

Nature documentaries where they have a narrative voiceover about the animal instead of just letting us look the goddamn monkeys in peace. Don't give them names and try to add drama; tell me interesting facts or shut the gently caress up.

It's the worst because people on other sites start using "corn" instead of "porn" and saying "unalive" now

Not saying it isn't a cargo cult but most people who are into tiktok don't believe that the words are banned, just disincentivized if you want to be An Influencer

From what I can tell, social media companies like to keep their algorithms mysterious, so people do a lot of guessing as to how they work. I see it with online selling platforms a lot. People spend away more time and energy trying to figure out how to game the system instead of just making their products affordable and attractive to buyers. It leads to all sorts of nonsense/superstitious ideas.

I was watching a youtube video a few weeks ago, and the narrator censored the word "depression". That struck me as a little bizarre.

Watching a YouTube documentary about suicide but every few words are just silenced out. Can't say death, suicide, kill, etc. It's like recording a rap album called gently caress poo poo gently caress poo poo and releasing the censored version.

The silliest cold weather peeve: When I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt/sweater under a jacket or something, and the sleeves are uneven. Meaning more of the shirt sleeve can be seen poking out of the jacket sleeve on the left than on the right, or maybe one side can't be seen at all and the other has like two whole inches just hanging out on my wrist for all to see. I don't know why this bothers me, or why I spend so much time trying to carefully put my jackets on so it's all perfect and even, but it does and I'm frustrated with myself.

Don't give them names and try to add drama; tell me interesting facts or shut the gently caress up. My nature doc pet peeve is when it looks like it's about an animal but it's actually about some guy. Like it's called "Silky Sharks of the Azores" but the first bit of narration is "Tom Blatchely is an adventure, a dancer, a fencer, and is perhaps considered by some to be a world expert on the shark. Today, he has decided on a mission."

What bothers me about it isn't the unevenness, it's the fact that it means that the inner sleeve is bunched up somewhere in the outer one. This creates a warm spot and might even make me sweat in that specific location, then I take the jacket off and I have a little wet spot and it's the loving worst. Also sweat in general is a peeve for me. I have a huge head that leads to thermoregulation problems so I almost always under-dress for the weather (I say I like the cold more but I'm not sure I would without the thermoregulation problems) but I'd rather freeze to death than be inappropriately sweaty. Unfortunately I live in Florida for now so my life is just a whole-rear end shitshow about it, and I always run right up against dress code at work trying not to look sweaty in the summers. Ugh, hate it.

I run up against dress code trying to not freeze to death even when it's 85 outside. Which corporate moron decided that the dress code for every single food or retail place HAD to be a single thin short sleeved shirt which does NOTHING to protect the wearer against weather?

People who talk way too much, such as my boss. Every single 'conversation' he has with anyone, is just him talking at them, and then interrupting them as they try to get a word in. I just don't understand how you can get through life without understanding that just monologuing at people is not the way conversation is meant to work. He's also a huge bullshitter and constantly regales us with anecdotes of pure stdh, but no one can call him out on it cos, you know, he's the boss. Oddly enough he's not actually a bad guy and I think he basically means well, but christ he's exhausting.

Except he’s not an over-talker, he’s the most “active” listener ever. While he’s allowing you to say your piece he’s pouring out an unending stream of “uh huh, yes. Right, and? Yeah. Huh. Hmm.” Peppered with incorrect guesses about what you’ll say next or wrong conclusions that you then have to correct to the tune of “ah, I see. Right, of course, yes. Uh huh. Okay. And then…?” He literally never stops making sound if you’re speaking to him. If you pause, thinking he has an interjection, he’ll go quiet and look at you expectantly. It’s exhausting.
