When I post asking something specific and I get questioned or am given unwanted advice. Exhibit A:
I ask what everyone’s favorite pre workout is and I just get “You don’t need a pre workout”. That’s not helpful. I personally like pre workouts and the kick they give me. If other people don’t, that’s ok. We are all different. But if you have nothing to offer to the conversation I’m starting please just keep scrolling.
Perfectly able bodied people who don’t put shopping carts away in designated areas.
People who use certain words that we rarely used to hear, just because they are popular right now. Like “Normalize” or “Toxic”.
When I’m in the middle of a phone call and someone starts talking to me at the same time. Oh I want to strangle people that do that 😤
When women say they want to lose weight, but don’t want to lose their curves. Like it’s soooo easy to lose weight that you are going to lose your body shape after a few days of diet and exercise 🤦🏽♀️ If only it was that easy!
When people tell others “You look great, you don’t need to lose weight.” Who are you to tell someone else how their bodies should look? I understand a lot of times people are trying to be nice. But it’s just inappropriate to tell someone else how their body should be.

Haha I just unloaded on another pet peeve thread so I won't do it here. But I have to agree with you about the shopping carts. The local market I go to usually has a few carts clogging up the front door so I round up some and put them inside. It's literally a few feet. I don't get it. It saddens me to think people can be that lazy. And I'm obviously not talking about the disabled.1

When I’m driving behind someone, and I see them throw a cigarette out the window. That really gets under my skin.2

Yes someone will surely say “Maybe that person is disabled!” They just made it perfectly fine through an entire parking lot, an entire store and back through the parking lot. They can make it to the cart stand 🙄0 -
When I see a sign in a shop window saying “buy your (whatever it is) here! Well if they are mine which they have said they are when they say “your” then why do I have to buy them, they are mine! 😁 Also people who go to the gym and spend more time on their mobiles instead of working out 🏋️♀️ and people who use the word “like” in sentences! Example: he like said like what are you doing like!1

Yes on their phones holding up a machine while wait for it or even better using the machine or bench next to them as a resting stop for tiger phone, keys etc. just inconsiderate.0 -
When I'm working out to a YouTube set I'm trapped under a barbell and right in the middle of a song comes a ridiculous ad. And it always plays higher volume for whatever reason. Like really. It gets me so beyond mad.2

Unsolicited advice.
Answering a question with a question.
When women say they wanna workout but they don’t want to be muscular as if it happens over night.
The inability to keep scrolling past a post or comment you don’t like.1 -

Adults who think the world owes them something. Again. Grow up. Take responsibility for your own life.
People who try to use the kindness of others & manipulate them. That sucks.
Bullies. Bullies actually make me sick. Cowards that try to pick on anyone they perceive as weaker than themselves. News flash. Your the weak one. Your the coward.
People that sit on their backsides who moan, winge & whine when life doesn't magically come knocking on their door with amazing things. You want it? Go get it Karen !
PHEW! 😛 turns out a lotta things grind my gears

When older women and men touch my hair, or me, without my permission. Always happens in weird places too.
Hitting any of my toes on something.
Stepping on a lego.
My internet going out RIGHT when a good part in a horror movie happens.1 -
People always want to run their hands through my hair, too. They ask if they can braid it.
