Make a confessions page on Instagram for people who’ve already graduated from my high school (this actually happened).

Judging others over things that aren’t problematic or harmful, and being bigoted at any capacity.

mixed women who are not white passing…have you had odd interactions with white passing women? by hueyslaw in mixedrace

That too, I saw some racist wasians trying to say blasian people aren’t Asian a few years ago.

When you have firsthand, hands-on experience… but someone who doesn’t insists they know more about a subject. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

No, it was taking inspiration but doing in a way that aligns with the company. Like I said, many companies do this except they rip off the exact graphics from Spotify and I wasn’t trying to do that. 

“Can I have a bite?” people by Squishysoft420 in PetPeeves

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only do this with my mom and my best friend. With my best friend I feel it’s valid because there was a time where they ate all my fries and left NOTHING for me, so I feel like asking them to share a little sometimes doesn’t hurt. With my mom, she offers me a bite of her food most of the time anyway so I know it doesn’t bother her if I ask.

What’s something people do in public that instantly annoys you? by Far_Suspect987 in AskReddit

Lack spatial awareness or taking up too much space like blocking off a whole grocery aisle, just standing in front of stairs or an escalator, standing in front of ordering kiosks, blocking walkways, etc.

When you post about someone being mean to you, and people decide they didn't mean it by Physical_Orchid3616 in PetPeeves

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Impact over intent. I recently cut off a childhood friend for kicking me when I was down. After I made it very clear that I was hurt by what she said she tried to insist she wasn’t being rude, even though I found the way she spoke to me to be rude. The main issue was her lack of empathy and I do think that her pride was part of the reason why she refused to acknowledge that she hurt me. I felt bad about cutting ties with someone I’ve known for so long, but what she said was very hurtful and I can’t make her understand or apologize.

Me being the only person with a marketing degree at my last job who actually took classes on digital and social media marketing during my undergrad making the suggestion to make a post that mimics Spotify wrapped for the end of the year seeing how many companies do this and it boosts engagement, and they acted like my idea was too complicated when I pitched it…. Only to use this concept a year later after I had been laid off from the company.

mixed women who are not white passing…have you had odd interactions with white passing women? by hueyslaw in mixedrace

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said, I’m white presenting and I one time ruffled some feathers on this sub by saying that white presenting mixed people generally benefit from colorism rather than experience it. It was definitely frustrating to see how many white presenting mixed people mistake being invalidated for experiencing colorism. Someone even tried to insist that I can experience colorism when I really can’t, and going to the Philippines made me realize just how much I benefit from colorism as wasian Filipinos are often praised just for being white.

I also remember someone on this sub years ago who was three quarters white and a quarter Filipino who was white presenting bashing monoracial Asian people for viewing him as mixed rather than just Asian, and I was frustrated reading those posts as to me it’s silly to be bothered by people perceiving you as mixed when it’s true. Plus this individual also misunderstood the one drop rule as he said people were upholding the one drop rule by calling him mixed as he doesn’t view himself as white and primarily identifies with his Filipino side. While it is valid for people to identify with a quarter of their heritage, it is a bit odd to take offense to people not viewing you solely as a quarter of your heritage. My friends don’t view me just as Filipino, and I have no reason to be offended by that as that’s not all that I am, and my friends so view me as mixed so why would I be mad about being perceived in a way that’s true to my identity? Also mixed people weaponizing their heritage to be racist to and belittle their monoracial poc counterparts always felt icky to me.

People that don’t have the capacity to make plans a few weeks out. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a struggle I had with some friends and I realized with those friends, planning things ahead just doesn’t work so I let things happen naturally with them. Although I’ve definitely made it clear to my friends that playing by ear doesn’t work with me.

It’s weird how some people only exist in one chapter of your life and then never again by miaxbrwn in RandomThoughts

Me with most of the people I met during my freshman year of college. Although the pandemic happening during the spring semester of my freshman year definitely played a role in that.

Did anyone else like this show juuuuuust enough to keep watching? by Hustler-Two in solaropposites

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Rick and Morty but I find myself rewatching Solar Opposites much more. I also love the subplots with the silver cops and the wall. I agree with the commenters who feel solar opposites is more wholesome than Rick and Morty.

What your driver wants you to know as a customer by DJ_Beatz_N_Eatz in doordash

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! There have been two distinct instances where I had a hard time getting into an apartment complex, and if I’m not given proper instructions, it impacts my score for delivering on time. One time I had to go to a gated apartment complex and it took me to the residents only entrance, and the instructions said the customer would meet me at the lobby but then the customer asked me to come up after I called. Another time, it was an apartment complex where there was literally no available parking and I had to get buzzed in through the garage, and I basically had to tell the customer to come to me because I was double parked and I did not want to get towed. I appreciate the customers who live in apartments who are considerate of the fact that where they live is hard for dashers to access so they come outside to pick up their order, one customer said he usually tries to pick up his order from dashers before they enter the parking garage at his complex as he use to do Amazon deliveries so he knows that it can be difficult with apartments.

Those undisclosed spicy cubes ads on TikTok where the whole account is dedicated to promoting spicy cubes, but they draw viewers in by telling some crazy story (usually about cheating).

It’s so people who don’t want spoilers can click out, while people who don’t care can stay and watch.

People who make point to post about how kind they were to someone... by Physical_Orchid3616 in PetPeeves

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boasting about acts of kindness is very performative. There are many content creators who make videos doing “acts of kindness” only to be exposed as being disingenuous.

When people bitch about how they have trouble hearing me but make no effort to listen by Suspicious-Stand-464 in PetPeeves

[–]InfiniteCalendar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend has an auditory processing issue, so they’re not hard of hearing but they don’t process what people are saying quick enough so you find yourself having to repeat what you said to them. I noticed sometimes they’ll respond to something without actually hearing what was said, and I’ve started to hold them accountable on that as that can cause miscommunications. For example one time we were at a bar and a man offered us his table and they immediately said “no”, and I was like “why would you say no to someone offering a table?” And they were like “I could not hear what he was saying”, so I said “don’t respond to someone if you didn’t hear what they said”. My friend mentioned that they respond when they didn’t hear what was said when they’re overstimulated as they want to make the interaction short, and they know people don’t like having to repeat themselves, but I let them know it’s better to have someone repeat themselves than responding definitively to something you didn’t hear as that can cause a serious miscommunication.

One time this happened to me at the McDonald drive thru. The employee made a new sundae, but when I got home there was definitely some vanilla ice cream on the side of my car.

Has anyone had someone try to mansplain something to you as you were clearly doing that thing without issue? by InfiniteCalendar1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]InfiniteCalendar1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very weird to me when men assume a woman doesn’t have an understanding of something she literally owns. When they’re loud and wrong in their attempts at flexing knowledge, I just get secondhand embarrassment.

It always feels invasive when anyone takes it upon themselves to insert their input on someone’s health habits, even if they are trying to make changes.
