People who think of or write about a “realistic” outcome to anything whether it be from minute things such as their thoughts on how a story should end to even important things like in their personal life or the world around them but it really amounts to elaborate doomposting in the veil of their misanthropic or nihilist view of how the world works as though they were objective facts.

Man, don't do @Dom Cruise like that.
 
My mother's complete and utter love of Aldi. Never mind that some giant redneck shoved her hard enough to give her a panic attack and heart palpitations for 15 minutes in the store, she continues shopping there in spite of the rotten onions and vegetables she buys and prefers I go to their bathrooms instead of some gas station.
I'm almost convinced she'll marry an Aldi's worker.
 
If you go through a busy drive-thru in your 25 foot long SUV or your Mercedes Benz that's too precious to you to leave less than five car lengths between you and the person in front of you then die. They are not meant for you and you're fucking up the flow for everyone behind you. Same for you assholes who wait 25 ice ages in line and then dig for change when you get to the pay window. I'm just trying to get my motherfucking ten-piece before the heat death of the universe.

A friend of mine told me to buy produce at Aldi's because it's so cheap. Almost all of the produce I bought went rotten within one day. Never again.

For more store/line a-logging from me, I hate being stuck next to the Amish anywhere.

When they go grocery shopping, they'll buy out half the store. The younger ones almost always pay with checks, which almost never seem to go through the first time because they're either faded or bent out of shape.

Then there's waiting for them at the bank. The younger ones are almost never prepared for any of the questions the tellers ask them. One of the best/worst moments I've had with an Amish person was at the bank last summer, waiting 20 minutes for a man that went to the drive-through window on foot who had little to no knowledge of any of his account information.

In all actuality, I wouldn't get so annoyed if they just fucking bathed more than once a year.

My mom theorizes that Aldi literally recycles old produce from other supermarkets.

It's almost the same thing with Mexicans, who will flash their credit cards at check out while pretending to be "poor"
The only appeal to Aldi are their grocery bags and their quarter systems, that's only it.
And a silver lining: she at least buys at other places like Walmart (prolonged exposure to one store makes me think of suicide), LIDL, and Costco.
 
Coworkers who can't read any one of the dozen social cues I'm providing that I don't want to talk to anyone on my goddamn lunch break. I'm sitting at my desk, not a common area. I have earbuds in. I'm reading. I'm facing a wall. I am doing just about everything I can short of tattooing Fuck You on my forehead. What gives them the impression that a) I want to talk about work off the clock, and b) I want to talk to them about anything, period?

This isn't a misanthrope thing, though I am one. Being quiet is just how I fucking recharge and I shouldn't have to spend twenty minutes in the toilet or my car to be able to do it.

"Awww poor @Paragon is sad! He doesn't think he deserves to talk to us! Let's cheer him up!"

If you're not a misanthrope, you're an idiot.
 
People who try to have a conversation with me about a topic I know little to nothing about, have said to them I’m not very knowledgeable on the subject and then they either proceed to hold me hostage telling every, single, little, detail on the topic or they just keep rambling on only pausing to look at me for comment, which I can’t fully give because dude I’ve made it clear I know Jack shit about Pokémon stop using me as a sounding board you autist!

If there's any "Current Year" term that I genuinely find valid and understandable, it's "emotional labor". It takes a Herculean amount of effort for me to not be a dick, and it's a choice I have to consciously make every day.

I am not a fan of engagin with aspies either, they also get progressively louder and start flapping too. I have low tolerance for people in my face but assburguers are worse than extroverts, extroverts tend to read the cues of the person they talk to and modulate, the asspie will just keep going in increments until you want to punch him.
 
If I ever see an inspirational quote attributed to Einstein or Marilyn Monroe, I assume it's bogus.
 
Using the bathroom after the last person just took a massive shit. I almost always end up coughing so that I don't gag.
 
Verbal tics, but I notion that "like" is the most egregious example.

Coming to the end of yet another college semester of Zoom calls, I have grown more annoyed by the overuse (I can almost call it abuse) of the word "like." It's not even a tic in some instances, but more of a poor supplement. Even some of the brainy and loquacious types fall into this folly.

At that adult age, shouldn't concise sentences be a forefront? Every time I hear it, I subconsciously feel appreciative that I had a teacher that [metaphorically] beat that bad habit out of the class.
 
Autocorrect feature when I type something in and it tries to tell me I can’t spell or spells something out I didn’t mean to type sometimes it’s helped me but usually it’s just an annoyance.

People that write "should of" instead of "should've".
I become irrationally angry whenever I see such a blatant crime against grammar.

I used to be friends with someone who would always write “encase” instead of “in case” and it would make me want to scream
 
I just had this one happen to me today -

Waiting in line at a gas station behind someone buying fucking lottery tickets. They buy them, scratch them or use them or whatever, but don't get out of line to do this, and keep on cashing in/rebuying more fucking tickets. I've spent 15 minutes waiting behind some cunt buying them before. It's the most rude shit I've seen people do with some regularity. I've seen massive lines form because of these scumbags.

Today I gave it about 2 minutes before I could see what was happening so I put back what I was going to buy and walked out.
