Things That Irritate You in Life

Here is another thing that really gets to me.

When established rules or laws don't get enforced consistently. If a rule or law is not worth consistently enforcing, don't put it on the books.

Also when people in positions of authority just make up rules at whim without notifying us prior or running those rules past us. It is such a power trip and makes us feel like we are walking on eggshells. It is gaslighting and it is playing mind tricks. One of my biggest fears in life is being placed in situations where people in positions of authority are misusing or abusing their power. As non-sequiter as this may sound, that is a reason I have procrastinated job searches and stayed on prolonged unemployment benefits in the past. That is also why I couldn't finish out college and finally earn a degree and also why I didn't pass my behind the wheel driver's test until the third try. Though I know it is a part of life, I have this odd fear of getting evaluated. Being as wary as I am of authority has made me miss out on many aspects of life. There is a reason I believe in and support policies like Universal Basic Income and workplace democratization across the board.
 
People who have a cry about seeing or hearing anything to do with Christmas while we’re still in November.

There’s products we can’t buy all year round on the shelves for a few extra weeks and instead of hearing the same old songs we hear every day on the radio, we hear songs that we aren’t subjected to for 10+ months of the year.

Edit: I can partly understand for those who celebrate Thanksgiving and want to get that out of the way, but the complaining is just as rampant outside of North America.
 
Another thing that really gets to me and irritates me! When people are cold, dismissive, and overly matter of fact (using too much of their head and not enough of their heart when talking with you about an unpleasant or upsetting situation), and then they simultaneously belittle you and talk down to you. There is a family member that does that to me quite a lot...

That same person can also be very selfish and want to suppress my feelings and emotions, so they feel better and more at ease. That is totally selfish and codependent, and again it really irritates me and makes me uncomfortable... I have the right to feel my feelings and acknowledge my thoughts and perceptions in the way that I see fit. This person on a frequent basis oversteps her boundaries...
 
-Bits of dry skin around fingernails.

-People who think that animation of any sort is made for young children and people also think anyone else can't enjoy or watch them because you could be doing better things than watching the same Bugs bunny cartoon for the 6th time in the basement on your laptop(Totally not based on a true story;))

-For some people, after Halloween means immediately start promoting Christmas.

-A toddler Running up and down screaming about something stupid and the adults are just chatting and don't seem to care about their screaming kid.

-Adults who forget what it's Like to be in the ages 5-18

I’m thirteen and I still love Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, the old Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy (and others), The original Pink Panther, the 1990s Pink Panther, The Inspector, and the newer Pink Panther and Pals.

This. Because of this toxic mindset there is very few animated films that are mature enought for both childrens and adults. That and "adult" cartoons tend to be overly edgy stuff that is more suited for kids who just hit puberty than adults.

Even on the authority of animation icons such as Chuck Jones, his "Cartoons", were never fabricated in the ethos that they were going to be categorically for children. It never even crossed his intellect that he was making his short films for young children. Yet there still viewable now and guffawed at now from people of any age group.
Okay I don't really want to turn this into a derailment so that's all I'm gonna say.
 
On the subject of animated cartoons and movies, it would seem like good business sense to make them at least watchable to the parents of the children they’re aimed at. If something’s torture to watch, you’re not gonna encourage your kids to get into it when there’s plenty of kids shows out there that you can tolerate, even enjoy, watching with them.

With some automobile related exceptions (which we all know were made only to generate merchandise sales), Pixar are a brand that succeeds more often than not in making movies which kids and adults alike can enjoy.
 
Another thing that really gets to me! When people and institutions don't acknowledge me or return my calls. It makes me feel like I am not important or don't matter. Though I should probably not take it personally or read too much into it, It actually hurts...

Another thing that really gets to me that also effected me today, when people (especially certain family members) give unsolicited advice. In other words, giving advice when it is not asked for.

Actually “Oh no are table its broken” is the most overused phrase of 2021

I said IMO so my answer still stands - as does anyone else’s as to what they think the most overused 2021 phrases are.

I think we’re all sick to death of hearing about Covid, so anything like “the new normal” or “social distancing” would surely rank high on anyone’s lists.

Unfortunately the virus is a very long way away from being done with us, so we better used to these things.

This crisis will last at least another five years, if it will ever end at all.

And unless some changes are made soon, I think some things are only going to get worse, both socially and with the disease.

We're in this crisis for the very long haul, and I am deeply pessimistic and almost hopeless about what and how unpleasant that long haul is going to be like.
