When a slow car changes lanes right in front of me. Hello! Go behind me!

I’m an Orthodox Christian and what makes me irrationally angry is that we celebrate Easter on a different date 😂

Seriously though, do you realize how awkward that is? Especially with years like this where the orthodox Easter is on May 5, which is over a month after everyone else celebrates Easter. It’s like celebrating Christmas on Feb 1 ! Then try to explain it to your little kids as to why we celebrate “ the other easter” and God forbid you forgot to buy easter egg coloring or any easter decorations before the “ regular Easter” , then good luck finding those a month later !

Bikers that think they are cars and hold up thousands of people daily and cause confusion and havoc on the road.

The word "conflated" that everyone and their brother started using to make themselves superior.

2) when my husband tries to do voices for kids books, but they all sound like a bad 50’s movie mobster regardless of who the character is…this is very irrational, because he is so clearly being a great dad, but it is like nails on a chalkboard.
3) avocados that never get soft before they rot.
4) when people call the boys teams “mascots” and the girls teams “lady mascots” especially when the mascot is something is equally male and female. There are female lions, eagles, etc.

I'm the opposite on #1. I hate when people do the "thanks" wave as if it makes their stupid move into traffic okay. Especially when they want to go across multiple lanes. Just drive down the road a bit and turn around like normal people do.

When someone leaves their used K cup in the Keurig.

As someone who gets peeved by many of the things mentioned so far, I thank you for this - I am now going to ask myself is something is as annoying as monocles and it will likely make me laugh and therefore let the annoying thing go.

This made me laugh out loud. I'm happy for you that at least this happens only once a year.

No, I don’t possess some special skill or quality that enables me to power through my teenager’s second suicide attempt in a single month and complete lack of support from his dad because he thinks he’s “just seeking attention.”

I’m so terrified and sad I can hardly breathe, but yes I still get out of bed every day and go to work because no one else is going to pay the bills and keep a roof over our heads.

I’m not resilient, I’m completely broken inside. I don’t need a compliment that disguises the very real human cost of what I’m going through.

I'm so sorry, PP. I am not in your situation but have also had people use that word towards me and I get it. I hope you have someone in real life who lets you be your broken self and will hold you up for a bit. I'd do it for you if I could.

I have one who sends emails written in ALL CAPS. LIKE EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY. They also use the high importance red checkmark. Yeah, I ignore those until I want to look at them.

The word "journey" in a professional training concept. You need to learn the stuff so you can be competent about your job. Discussing someone's "learning journey" like it's some sort of trip they're taking is ridiculous. If you want to be an adult professional, learn what you need to learn. That's called having a job.

YES!

I don't know how people can just walk away from that.
