Anyone who wears their watch on their right wrist. ITS MEANT TO GO ON YOUR LEFT WRIST!!

not as bad as those people who wear their watch with the face on the INSIDE of their wrist though. My default position is instantly to be suspicious of people who partake in this nonsense.

I wear watches on my right wrist because I can't buckle them with my right hand onto my left wrist. What is so tilting about the side someone has their watch on?

Has this one already been brought up? (I'm too lazy to search for it.)

The reflexive "thank you for your service" that so many people utter when they find out someone served in the military.

Ugh! Sounds so obsequious. And not everyone who wore a uniform is a selfless hero. I never served, but I worked a lot with servicemen from all branches (except Coast Guard), both officers and enlisted, and they're a normal cross section of humanity: some really great people and some who are dicks.

But it shouldn't bother me, hence this post.

this is a very american thing, and I'm not. But it feels very very weird to hear that sometimes.

Like in a movie it sounds ok because it's basically always said to someone who deserves it after doing something heroic or w/e.

But other than that the whole constant worshipping of the military feels like a huge cult, and a very dangerous one at that.

Like how many in the military actually do it for altruistic reasons (which would be the only instance where thanking them makes sense)... 5% maybe? Less?

The last veteran I had the pleasure of speaking to was some rando who pulled up a seat next to me at my local watering hole. He proceeded to tell me, unsolicited, that he didn't serve so that gays could get married and that since Trump's election more young men are now enlisting so they can, "bag themselves a towel head."

The problem is 2+2 is that you assume the cross-section of actual society represents the cross section here - when even the worst poster here is above 100 IQ and you completely lose perspective on how terrible your average person actually is

People who wear HR fitbits *not* on the inside wrist. It's supposed to position that way to best monitor your pulse.

When people type 'quite' instead of 'quiet' or vice versa.

'Vice versa' kinda pisses me off too but not nearly as bad.

I'm 54 years old, and I don't think I even knew about "savory" until I started watching reality cooking shows.

The games women play piss me off. I swear if women did not have the value that comes with the uterus like half of them would be homeless. On a side note 23% of women have partaken in direct prostitution across the board according to the Economist.

Prostitution: cam girl,stripper,weather girl,model,hostess,whore,escort,trophy wife,pornstar, go-go dancer, club model, promotional girl, phone sex girl, etc.etc.
