I HATE, with an absolute and complete passion, people who get animals for a child or friends birthday or Christmas.
Lets say you get a dog. Does this person know how to take care of a dog? Were they expecting to have to take care of a dog, or do they have absolutely no supplies? Do they have any experience taking care of animals? Do you know for a fact that this person will be able to take care of a dog for years and not lose interest in it?
It makes my blood boil because so many beautiful animals are dumped in shelters immediately after Christmas because the person recieving them lost interest. My aunt has the most gorgeous, well behaved, purebred golden retriever that's a year old. She got it when it was only a few weeks old because it was dumped outside of a shelter in the freezing cold because it was an abandoned present and the shelter couldn't take any more animals in.
I know i've been talking about dogs specifically, but really any pet. Unless you have spent hours researching every single thing about the animal you want, don't get it.
I think the situation that Dark Sun mentioned above is even more terrible, because a puppy is just one of the many thing these kids got. Those kids are going to be distracted from taking care of that puppy because they have so many other shiny new things to play with, and I bet the parents are going to be too busy with their 4 kids to do anything. I guess its not fair for me to judge when I know nothing about the situation, but the whole concept makes my blood boil.

I had been begging my parents for a dog even longer than that. Also, my parents are great and also did their research. They also got all the materials and things to get a dog, and when I tell you on my birthday they surprised me and I completely gave them a list. Asked them if there was anything else we needed, looked at everything they got. They did amazing, there was only one or two things that we needed (which I bought myself). We also didn’t get the dog on my birthday, we instead got it four days later so we could prepare and everything. But yeah, the amount of animals abandoned around Christmas or because of birthdays is disgusting. Please do your research before getting any pet. AND PLEASE DONT KILL ME FOR GETTING A DOG ON MY BIRTHDAY😭😭 /hj

I hate parents who spoil their children rotten. Recently, one of my mother's friends spent a small fortune on her children this holiday season. Two PS5's with several games to go along with them, over $2,000 in clothes, a puppy, I could go on. Over 4 grand spent on them - one kid age 4, another 5, and two twins, age 12-13 or something? We thought their family was rich. They're a little well off, yes, but not by much compared to the average household. Their mother is just spoiling them more rotten than a pasture full of compost. I can't wait until her kids are old enough to survive in the real world and the massive slap that reality is going to send their way. HOLY SHITTT THIS REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING So I have this friend whose mother is not in the best mental state. Her mom is a single mother. Always ridiculously spoils her kids on Christmas though. This year, my friends sister got $2,000 golden goose sneakers, the newest iPhone, the newest Louis Vuitton bag, new AirPods, and a concert ticket. My friend got the same concert ticket and was told that was all they could afford. That’s ridiculous comparing the two.

I had a friend who worked in a shelter, and the amount of situations that made him want to throw a brick at a person (not literally) were far too many to count. A****** situations, pets being abandoned, you name it. All the meanwhile, he had to put on a fake smile and almost congratulate the ex-owner or give them a pat on the back - something about if they were to ever present themselves as "unpleasant", the shelter could be in jeopardy or something like that. He was there for 6, 7 years?, and I don't know how he did it, honestly.

Anyway, we're getting off track.
I hate carpenter ants during mating season around here. You basically have to keep your mouth shut whenever you go outside otherwise...

I hate how all the instrumental and epic music soundtracks I listen to on YouTube now have a guaranteed ad every 2-3 minutes. It totally kills the vibe.

twitter. i never cared for it to begin with, but God is it a dumpster fire now. to add onto this, people on twitter. Granted i have some friends from twitter, but overall most of the users on there are very fickle and will jump on you over very small things. Made a point about how ppl posting abt war and stuff shouldn’t do it bc they feel obligated to and that they should take steps to take care of their mental health as well, got called selfish for putting mental health first and got told i don’t care about people suffering bc i said “conflict” instead of a more heavy word

gen alpha content,lankybox, skibidi toilet, cocomelon etc lankybox honestly used to be good (maybe it was just better for me during my childhood idk) But now it's all that cringe crap like what happened. Skibidi toilet: I had a friend who moved schools for one year, and when our school had a movie night they said this one too many times and me and my friends were just flat-out concerned. HELP ME THEY ARE COMING BACK THIS YEAR I HAD ONE YEAR OF PEACE.

The fact that NO ONE CARES ABOUT GRAMMAR ISSUES AND THEY WONDER WHY THEYRE FAILING ENGLISH Like bro its not hard This reminded me- Other people's handwriting. Like, I literally can't read it how do you have a "pen license." Also, embarrassment. I know this had probably been stated before, but just when everyone is looking at you it's so freaking... Scary, I guess? I just genuinely don't like getting called out unless it's for something good, which I also mildly dislike.

I hate it when you're having a conversation with someone, and then they don't try to make conversation back. One-sided conversations suck

a lot of common "writing advice" sucks and is only good for newspaper or journalistic writing.
like "always write in the active voice!!" is TERRIBLE advice because only writing in the active voice makes you sound like you're yelling at the person reading.

Similar note, basically all "do this not that" artist advice can go in the trash. Unless there is a specific style or guide you want to follow exactly, the advice is pretty worthless for any kind of style that isn't specifically realism and not everyone wants to draw realism and certain things just aren't intended for realism. There's also a lot of art advice that's just plain pretentious and treats it like if you're not doing this exactly then your art is bad. Which isn't the case.
Also, people who "fix" designs without asking and wildly alter the original artists design and style. If it was meant to look that way they would have done it or asked for critiques and fixes. Stop it.
