Things That Annoy You

[Valerius]

Most of my family refers to videos on youtube as "youtubes" and it drives me nuts. Not "Youtube videos" or even just "videos," they just say "youtubes." As in "I watched a youtube on how to do x."

My mother and brother both call websites "dotcoms."

Have you considered breaking the news that not all websites have a .com address?

In significantly worse news: I happen to know of a person who uses the word "googling" to refer to sending text messages. As in, he'd say "google me the address to X" to mean "send me a text with the address". To this day I'm not sure if he does it on purpose to mess with his kids.

At least they know how to use technology, my mom has more or less no idea how to use a computer and a DVD player.

Sounds like my mom, too. She knows her way around booking and accounting programs for work, but aside from those, she's technologically retarded. I say that with fondness.

It was the most endearing thing ever when she came home from work one night, and told me how she turned on the computer there all by herself. She had such a cute grin on her face.

My dad isn't very good with technology.

When he want's to google something he just uses any search engine and types "google" then what he wants to look for.

I hate pregnancy brain with a passion. I can't think worth a damn right now.

Having to conform to someone else's coding conventions when programming knowing all the while that they're clearly wrong.

I got up at 6am to go to a mostly redundant college orientation tour. When I arrived, I had to put on a name tag. I wrote "[Given name], but please call me Will" because I'd like fewer people calling me by a name I hate.
Boy, was that a mistake.
I got three "So, wait, you're a tr*nny?"s from the kind of douchebros that seem to spawn on college campuses, a "But you would be so pretty if you just blah blah blah..." from a girl who went on to say "hashtag YOLO" unironically, and a whispered stream of incoherent "g-d put your ~*soul*~ in that body for a reason" type bullshit from a Personal Space Invader. Fortunately the profs called them out on their douchebaggery and the decent people (or at least the people who left me alone) outnumbered the jerks by about 4:1.

And that's why university is so much better than highschool.

Quick question though: Why couldn't you have simply put "Will" on your name-tag?

The mindset that so many people have that you have to hate someone, because its a social cue to do so.

What, no, fuck off, i aint gonna personally hate on someone if they havnt done anything to me. Theres no point!

If they've done something to significantly harm others, then it's a very good reason to dislike them. It's not all about you.
