Let's make this thread a vent thread.

I'd like to start a thread filled with things that build your ire. This thread can be a place where you can lay out whatever causes you to be annoyed, frustrated, or outright angry. Of course, let's keep it within forum etiquette rules, but otherwise it's fair game. Let me start:

1) In my free time, I often play a variety of videogames to turn my brain off for a while. I genuinely don't care about the story or the nuances or the character relationships. I would like to just play the game. Nier: Automata in particular raised my ire for having possibly the most pretentious credits sequence I've ever seen. Let's just say if other players are struggling, well, good luck to them. They aren't getting my save file.

2) When drama YouTubers - regardless of credibility - title their videos with vague names such as "The <person> Situation" or "The situation got worse," etc., etc.. Is it not possible for them to title their videos with a little more clarity?

3) People who decide to drive 5 mph below the speed limit at the slightest hint of inclement weather. Your cars are not going to be defeated by a literal sprinkle from the Heavens.

4) NFTs in general, including the people that get scammed. It's... literally buying nothing. And it saddens me that there still will be people who will fall for it.
I find it annoying when a YouTube thumbnail appears and the story doesn't even contain the info presented in the sketch.

Yeah, like, "Fight breaks out at bbq"! with picture of man swinging fists in thumbnail ! , (so I click on it obviously) ! , and there's no fight to be found despite my best efforts. :).
I am annoyed by the countless spam posts in these forums. But whatcha gonna do 'bout it?

5) People who have to comment "Who's watching this in <insert year here>?" on every single video on YouTube. Who cares? Are you trying to make a connection with strangers on the internet who are also watching the same video at the same time as you? Get a grip.

6) People who can't seem to use their turn signals while driving. Are you allergic to using them? Is it too much effort to flick your wrist? It's not just a courtesy, it's a safety measure.

7) The fact that in the 2020s, people still can't seem to understand how to use "your" and "you're" properly. It's not rocket science, folks. If you're going to comment on the internet, at least try to use proper grammar.

8) The people who use GPT to answer online forum questions. I mean, come on. Are you even trying? It's like you're not even a real person. Get off the forums and let the humans handle it.

9) People who continuously deny climate change.
People who continually push climate change despite old Greta’s prediction that we would all cease to exist by 2023.

It’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it whether anyone likes it or not. :-) What’s more, I don’t care whether you like it or not.
10) Politics, Nations, Banks and all their horrendous fallout. Bookkeeping imps.
