This is possibly the single most infuriating thing about jeets other than when they're just swindling old ladies and shit like that. They will either pretend to be or actually be so impenetrably stupid that no number of explanations of the simplest thing will get through their shit-filled skulls.

It's that checkbox mentality - or more generously, being rigidly adherent to some printed list of instructions is what they're paid to do. They're not trusted or empowered to use judgment, so whether they have it or not, or whether they could develop it or not, the experience is built around removing it from the equation. The expectations companies have of their offshore help are minimal, and that's what they deliver, 99/100 times. Can't count the number of times I've solved a tech problem for a tech support person who is supposed to be helping me.

The irony of providing - in the name of saving money - that low level of service to employees trying to do and being prevented from doing their damn jobs by stupid, unthinking systems and employees is rich. I can think of no coworker who hasn't lost many hours of productive work time for dumb in-company tech fails and unskilled tech support. And there's scarcely a day that goes by without some mid-to-highly-paid professional in a meeting having some kind of tech issue that has (mostly) nothing to do with their own ineptitude.
 
The four-way stop being such a massive fucking obstacle to other drivers. Especially when you get the retard trying to turn left right off the sign who gets all pissy when you, who are going straight, pull into the intersection expecting him to pull parallel to you and then turn after you’ve passed, instead of sitting on your own sign so he can cut diagonally across the intersection. I should be able to put a brick through his windshield in such a situation.
 
If you have spent any amount of time in the Netherlands, you will no doubt come to despise the niggerlicious abomination that is the fatbike. Over the course of ~9 months, I have never once seen a white person above the age of 16 using one of these. It is always either some disgusting mystery meat mutt or raghead going max speed regardless of where they are. I guarantee you that the demographic rot of the Netherlands would be significantly improved if every fagbike driver disappeared today.

I FUCKING HATE E-BIKES AND E-SCOOTERS. My Australian shithole suburb is infested with dropkick housos on unregistered dirt bikes and shitty E-bikes. They come flying past you on the fucking footpath, and the worst ones will deliberately buzz you and scream stupid shit at you. You've pissed me off by reminding me of them, it's like the number one problem in my narrow dull life. For catharsis, I'll have to share the following:

Last month, two subhuman methheads sharing a scooter came up behind me on the footpath and yelled at me to 'MOOOOOOVE'. I moved, and then they immediately tried to jump off the kerb and face planted. Looked like it really hurt, and they made a funny sound. Lmao. Owned.

In my city, people started throwing those fucking e scooters in the fucking river. Makes me glad, because I got tired of getting screamed at and nearly ran over.

My town isn't fancy enough for these, so the youngfolk use lethally shitty Chinese E-bikes, and worse, petrol powered dirt bikes. It's hell here. Anyone outside a major Australian metro area knows what I'm talking about.

In the cities, lime bikes get smashed to bits and thrown into the nearest body of water by anyone slightly drunk. These companies are still somehow profitable.(??!)

At this point I hate them. And even worse, in my town it's a bunch of teenagers owning them, which tells me their rich parents are buying them for their kids.

It's crazy how many teenagers I see speeding on them. More than adults.

People in my area are getting harassed by e-bike gangs.
 
When people encourage their kids to be "sassy" and have attitude. Sure, it can be funny/cute because babies can make anything funny/cute, but it will quickly turn into having a rude kid.

pedestrians who are 100% in the wrong, but since they see an ebike they feel like they did nothing wrong. Don't look at me like I'm an asshole because you decided you walk in the middle of the bike only path.

People are just moronic.

I run on sidewalks and paths. Shit is usually fine if there's a "divider" line down the middle. But, on a regular sidewalk, it's like all common sense goes out the window.

Folks (in the US), if I'm coming up behind you while running and you notice my approach before I say anything, don't move to the left of the fucking sidewalk. I'm going to pass you on the left, just like a bike or (if we're driving) a car.

Also, if you're walking your dog, buy a reflective leash and keep the animal to your right-hand side. I know, I know, this might require training your pet, but it's worth it in the long run vs being a lazy, entitled cunt.

Don't even get me started on FOBs ambling down the sidewalk with their ENTIRE FUCKING FAMILY SPRAWLED OUT ACROSS IT.
 
Boomers not listing/telling that their product isn't a complete set, so now I have to haggle other people to get the last fucking volume of a book series. Or I have to buy another full fucking set to get the last fucking book. It wasn't even cheap too, kill em all.
I am really fucking mad, still sulking after 5 fucking hours about it.

BULLSHIT.

(And yesterday after the "verification" the call was dropped because it was a holiday.)

In that big city I used to "live" in, people on bikes still wizzed right by me on the sidewalk with no warning or slowing down or getting off the bike... and this was before "e-bikes" and "e-scooters" with their potentially explosive batteries went mainstream. One guy even used a motorized (combustion engine) bike at full speed. On the sidewalk.

I used to buy all the anti-glare and scratch and all those extras and they don't do shit. My glasses still have glare at night and they get scratched easily. I finally stopped doing that because it made no difference, except I was out more money.
 
Speaking of riding on sidewalks, etc. I ride my bike on the sidewalk all the time, and move out of the way when someone is walking on it. One thing though, that bugs me, are the times when I alert them with my bell and they don't step slightly out of the way and they just keep walking ahead of me, so I go in the grass to avoid them.

But what bugs me more is when people get angry when I'm on the sidewalk. I've been hit by a car crossing the street. I don't want to ride anywhere near cars.

Another thing that grinds my gears these days: When people park their fucking big ass cars right outside a store when the parking lot is right fucking there. Just drop them off and park in the parking lot like normal people do.

Stop blocking the damn street.
 
Windows 11. My mom updated to it, and in the past two days since she's done that, I've had to help her with the following:
  • It being ungodly slow. Especially on start-up. What used to take five minutes at most now takes at least ten.
  • Incredibly frequent ghost pop-up errors
  • The new taskbar being terrible
  • Edge constantly logging her out of sites and the browser itself
  • Her extensions malfunctioning and her preferences resetting
  • Edge in general being slow as hell and a major pain in the ass
  • My mom refusing to just ditch Edge and go to something else like Brave or even fucking Chrome
  • My mom also refusing to switch to another operating system or rollback to Windows 10 because she is afraid she will lose her antivirus or something
