Listening to Tik-Toks or other stuff like that on speakers in public.

Back in my day (pulls out rocking chair) we used to get annoyed at someone with their Walkman cranked up so high that you can clearly hear it across the room.

At least in that day the asshole was suffering permanent hearing loss for their rudeness. Curse modern technology and their built-in speakers!

People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.

Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.

I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...

Their choices with tech, choices in consumerism (Stanley Cups hype, hypebeast brands, Temu shit, etc), not using blinkers, amount of time spent staring at phones, hobbies

I find it rude when people on the bus put their bag on the empty seat next to them, so that you have to ask them to move it when there are no empty rows left. It's strangely hostile to me.

I think its just polite to leave your bag off the seat until the bus is boarded.

Here's something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!

If someone's stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It's just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.

But if they describe what they did already, then I think "Wow, this person really put in some I-don't-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!"

Criticizing people for voting 3rd party and then doing nothing to replace first past the post voting.

Okay, I very publicly judge these people. It's not a secret.

There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

That's infuriating. Why couldn't that guy just let someone else do their set while he does his breaks? Heck, if I were that dude, I would have made an arrangement with someone to alternate sets with.

Even if we assume the guy has a fatigue issue, that's still no reason to hog the machine.

Speaker on a phone call in public. For that matter, any sound from a phone in public.

Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. "Five dollars" is $5, not 5$.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

I judge people for spelling.

Easy stuff, too: emails; the ask; the spend; action this. People who can't pluralize or know what mass nouns are, or people who sound like fucking used-car salesmen, get to a different tier of respect than people who are actually adequate.
