people who complain about mundane crap. like, what the heck? nobody gives a hoot
To extend this, people who complain without good reason. I can see a reason to complain about not getting something you were promised, NOT that your pizza is 5 minutes late.

Why do perfectly healthy people who can get a job often decide to live off of welfare? I tend to get in a ranting mood on this subject, but here is the short version: why do lazy people prefer to live off welfare and feel entitled to it instead of people who actually need it (like the disabled)

Oh, and I should point out, that with my friends that can have reasonable conversation about these topics, I SERIOUSLY HAD 2 PEOPLE BLAME OBAMACARE.

Miiverse admins... i just got 2 notifications because my posts got remove for pretty bad reasons...

This was removed for criminal activity:
"For the first time ever i played Project M and... I got totally bodied..." (Please read edit)

and it also looks like that even just mentioning friend codes or FC can also get your post removed but i may be wrong...

EDIT: I reserched about Project M being mentioned on Miiverse and removed likely because of legal reasons and i will admit that this may be my fault and found that nintendo made a reasonble warn but the second reason still stands as bad i never understand this... i know it's too protect children but in this case i reminded a SCHOOL FRIEND that i know IRL to exchange his FC via private message. I really think it's bad to do this.

1. People who like Nightcore. I tried my best to do some research on it so I could figure out why people enjoy it... No dice. Why oh why are chipmunks suddenly developing the cognitive reasoning required to make internet accounts? No offense to any chipmunks on this forum, but you're ruining good music.

2. People who use ellipses at the end of every single statement... Ellipses are for moments of silence... That, or emphasis on a following sentence... If you use them constantly, it makes you look like a space case... I'm doing this to show you how obnoxious it looks... Oh, and if you use it to reply to someone after a one-line sentence, it's just patronizing...

Why is Hilary Clinton even a presidential candidate besides being a woman? There are far more competent women with better political experience than her.

Oh, great! Another politician who likes to point upwards whilst making a stupid face.



Seriously though, what even is that? The next "Sieg heil!"?

Why we even still have the bipartisan system.

I hate American politics so much that I've honestly considered moving to Finland to live with my best friend instead.

How people want better graphics on computers, tablets, and games. I mean, graphics DON'T REALLY MATTER. any graphics are ok to me, the only thing that matters to me is HOW the game performs. Ex: most of my friends rather play games and use devices with better quality graphics like Battlefield 4 over playing games like Smash bros. 64, Super mario world, And the Gameboy TETRIS.

The general entitlement people on welfare have.
^
That is referring to perfectly healthy people who have the qualifications to get a job, but choose to just profit off of welfare babies.

Those online IQ tests and IQ tests in general

They are rarely accurate and often times, I hardly believe them.

They are subject to change.

Ex. I took five of them and here were my scores

111 (above average)
124 (good)
132 (great)
140 (genius level)
159 (1 point short of Einstein)

Still a point of pride, though.

"Sonic's blue arms are hideous! Sonic's ruined forever!"

My God, just shut up about the goddamn arms already! This is one of the reasons why I don't want to associate myself with the Sonic fandom anymore. They complain about stupid, minor things that don't even matter to anyone.

I'm surprised that the fandom is still this trivial over something as silly as a character's eyes & arms.

People who will buy a lottery ticket every week, believing it's worth it for a "chance to win", yet if you ask them whether it's worth it to buy two in one week instead for twice the chance, will say no and not even remotely understand the inconsistency (or the expected loss of purchasing the one to begin with).

What baffles me the most about it is that it got some fans, namely CWC, to physically assault a game store employee with pepper spray over it.

What is that guy's problem?! (And I don't believe the "but I'm autistic" card he keeps pulling for one second. I'm autistic, and I and many other autistic people that I know find his actions repulsive.)

I'd normally don't talk about CWC much, but I find it ridiculous that he had to pepper spray someone over a cartoon hedgehog's arms. Fans will go to great lengths by doing stupid things like that. As for CWC, it's something else that's causing him to act this way. No way it's autism (I'm autistic myself and I'll never do something as awful as pepper spraying someone unless it's a person trying to harm me).

How razor companies keep finding ways to release "new and improved" razor technology. It used to be just add another blade. Then it was add batteries. Then it was to add a precision trimmer on the previously unused end. Now they added a flexball, whatever that does.

My three guesses

Sociopathy
Insanity
Psychosis <-- That is different from Psychopathy

I've thought of a few more:

How some companies have questionable hiring practices such as only hiring those that they know like family and friends, aka nepotism.

People who change their scores on MAL constantly (i.e. rating an anime series a 7/10 then a few weeks later change it to a 4/10)
It's fine if you change it like 1 or 2 points from your original score but gosh some people change them so drastically.

Why doesn't Sprite have a cherry alternative? Cherry 7-up is good but 7-up sucks. Cherry Sprite would likely make my tastebuds dance an Irish jig.

Agreed. They have to have those in stock besides the new soda machine in Burger King. (Probably only where I live, idk)

Speaking of Burger King - it baffles me that every time I order a burger with no mayo, they slather it on like it's going out of style. Seriously, can they not listen to simple directions?

That happened to me once when I ordered two plain chicken sandwiches. They put mayo and pickles on it.

I hate it when restaurants do this. Even when you say that you don't want mayo or anything on your sandwich very clearly, they put it on anyway. I don't mind mayo, but putting too much on it is overkill.

The sooner their jobs are replaced with robots or advanced fast food worker AI, the better.

I hate mayo with a passion so every time restaurants do that I get really angry, haha.
But for real, fast food workers need to pay better attention.

I have the opposite complaint. When I order something and ask for mayo it looks like they use a medicine dropper to apply 3 drops to each bun which effectively only turns certain parts of the bread an off white color. It adds no flavor whatsoever.

You know what grinds my gears? (Yes, Family Guy reference) People who don't bother reading something that's so easy to understand and complains about it, than you tell them what the text said, and NOW he understands it. I know not everyone understands everything, but most of the time, it's not rocket science and it can be annoying. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who witnessed this!

How many people have no idea what the difference is between a "parody" and a "reference".

Why two of my kittens can't get the hint that walking too close to my feet is a really stupid idea (I'm worried that one of them may have a broken leg after walking too close to me)

That's not baffling, baby anythings are sort of stupid.

I would've assumed they would have learned the first couple times someone accidentally stepped on them.

Also, the same kitten tries to chew on the speaker wires despite telling him off and sometimes relocating him almost 20 times in about a few days.
