~~I'm sorry, but why do you care if people wear hot clothes in warm places?~~
For me it's enshittification, stupid policies in any institution or just overrergulation in general.

Newspapers who use the word "ouster" but as a noun, not a verb.

"With Torres conspicuously absent from City Council and committee meetings and events in District 3, the mood quickly changed from offering Torres due process to calling for his ouster as many residents and organizations felt Torres was in no position to effectively represent his constituents."
—Devan Patel, The Mercury News, 6 Nov. 2024
"Niccol’s surprise hiring in August — announced alongside Narasimhan’s ouster — was greeted with widespread praise from the Club and Wall Street, with Starbucks market capitalization soaring by $21 billion in a single day, to nearly $109 billion."
—Kevin Stankiewicz, CNBC, 23 Oct. 2024
"The news of Hinton’s award comes weeks away from the first anniversary of Altman’s brief, stunning and ultimately unsuccessful ouster—as well as the second anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT at the end of November 2022."
—Christiaan Hetzner, Fortune, 9 Oct. 2024
"That experience was in the back of my mind when reading about the struggles at CVS Health, which owns Aetna, and the ouster of CEO Karen Lynch last week."

The habit of people to skip any or all nuance in assessing a situation because it's "more palatable".
A good example of this is familial relations. Family is more than just "parent", "child", "sibling", "friend", and/or "spouse", you could have grey areas where something would come off as not quite one thing or another thing. Age-gap siblings can develop into having an aunt or uncle who is younger than you, or you might be older than your step-parent, or you might manifest a relationship in a way that contains some aspects of a friendship, etc. But there are people who don't want to hear any of the buts about it, they just want a one word answer.
Myself
I also choose this person
I hate when people use my shoulder as support, as I'm showing them something. Simply... don't, okay?

The fact that middle-click is used for pasting in Linux
That reminds me of the time I didn't know that "select - middle click" and "ctrl+c - ctrl+v" are entirely separate clipboards in Linux.
So I was implementing a password manager for the very first time.
For every single account I had, I created a new password within the password manager, and copied it with ctrl+c
Then I went to "change password" in the online account and pasted the "new password" in with middle-click.
For. Every. Single. Account.
The next day I couldn't log into anything and of course had no idea what string I had replaced all my passwords with.
Getting back into my main e-mail account was a bitch, cause I had set it up with my home phone number and address in the year 2004, never updated that info, and moved 11 times since then.
I was about to switch all my windows machines to Linux but then you had to tell me this...
Just randomly thought: I also hate people who seek thrills and extremely "unique" experiences. Like those who own pet chimpanzees, try various drugs to get high, or risk their lives for TikTok.

The pet chimpanzees thing I get. Its a wild animal and shouldn't be a pet.
However all the other stuff is only affecting that person doing it. Why do you care what they do to themselves (as long as no one else is involved without their own consent)? How is your life negatively affected if those other people do those things to themselves? Do you want those other people having a say in what you do that doesn't affect anyone else?

Greeting people or goodbye's. Please don't touch me, unless you are my child or pet. I was hoping the new covid habits of not shaking hands or hugging would become permanent, but it's back again. And i still have this reflex of shaking hands, instead of keeping my hands in my pocket.
