In some sense, the fact that humans still exist is nothing short of a miracle. After all, we’re not exactly the easiest species to get along with.
Just take a look at this Reddit thread, where people have gone on a rant about the things others do that drive them mad. From slow walkers and rude shoppers to buzz killers and law breakers, the list is long—and let’s be honest, probably not long enough. Check out their posts below and feel free to vent your own frustrations in the comments!

Animal cruelty and people who abuse children.
I'll never not feel enraged/sick and upset at the same time by it.

People who say "Oh it's their job to clean up after me" or "I'm making sure that they're still employed" as an excuse for not cleaning up after themselves in public.
Like NO.
You don't leave a soda spilled everywhere and then not even *attempt* to clean it up.
You don't leave rolls and rolls of toilet paper all over the floor in the bathroom.
You don't leave bags of popcorn and drinks and popcorn all over a theater floor and seats.
Take responsibility.
*Clean. Up. Your. Mess.*.

After working as a critical care nurse for years now, you’d think it would be the countless IV d**g abusers or alcoholics that’s I treat in the MICU.... but it’s not my patients that make me think that. It’s their families.
I get that *most* of the time, people are nervous for their loved ones...they don’t want to lose their parent. But I see this situation happen over and over... when it’s time, people can’t just let go.
So 95 year old nana comes in and has trouble breathing. We ask her if she would want to be intubated if necessary and says no. She doesn’t want that or CPR. But there isn’t a form and her daughter is healthcare proxy... too bad the family doesn’t respect that.
So we tube her. But her blood pressure can’t handle the sedation, so we need to start pressors. Then she develops a pneumonia, so we’ve got to pump her with antibiotics. But oops, too bad she’s already gone septic. Start some more pressors, who care if she loses a few fingers and toes in the process, we’ve got a BP right!? Get some bedside dialysis going too, might as well. Until ultimately, we tell the family it’s getting to be futile and we should really just make her comfortable for her own sake.
But no. They don’t agree. F**k your years of schooling and experience. So nana codes. I do chest compressions and break all of her ribs in the process. We shock her and slam her with d***s and fluids for a half hour until eventually there’s literally nothing more to do.
I’m sorry I know this was such a long rant. I just got off an overnight. But his happens so often and every single time I just think of the agony we put this person through in their last days on earth all because a family couldn’t respect their loved one’s wishes.
Please. When it’s time just let me pump them with morphine and Ativan and let them go in peace and comfort.

Might seem trivial but it f*****g drives me nuts when people get off an escalator and just stop and decide where they want to go next... It's like I can't stop this thing you need to keep moving. Also people who stand in doorways.
Edit: Wow I am soo glad others feel the same.
Also thank you kind stranger for my first gold!

Plastic litter on nature trails is really f****d up to me, like how does one enjoy a nature trail and at the same time think it's ok if we all toss Gatorade bottles there?

People who mistreat animals. I just can't fathom the mindset that enables someone to hurt truly innocent creatures.

People who do not care about others in public. Watching a movie/playing music on their phone without headphone. Playing loud music in a park. Taking all the space in public transport. Talking loudly. Letting dirt behind them.

That I've seen old men whistle and harass 11-14 y.o girls! That happened to me as well, but I have the courage to call them out with people around. I can't imagine what shy 11 year old girls feel when they get treated that way. I'm fourteen but I've already got slapped on the butt by an older dude, and when I talk about it with people they say " Oh, you should have not dressed S O S L U T T Y " ( I literally wore a t-shirt and jeans )
NO MATTER HOW A GIRL DRESSES, DON'T BE A CREEP
Ps. And I know I'll get a response saying something in the lines of " oH bUt iT hApPeNs tO mEn tOo ", yes but come on! How many times have you seen a grown woman harass a tween boy, and how many times have you seen a man doing the same thing to a girl? That's like a 2:10 ratio, if not more.

Youtube/Instagram/social media "influencers" who make a living off being an obnoxious piece of s**t, with thousands/millions of mindless drones rooting them on, buying their merch, giving them advertising power, and imitating them.
Edit: And to clarify, I'm not talking about *all* "influencers", I'm specifically talking about ones who harass, annoy, and distress people (usually completely random bystanders), cause drama, and have a mindless legion of followers who support it all the way.

Working in retail. Makes you realize grown adults still act like spoiled toddlers when they don't get what they want.

The fact that people at festivals "care about earth" and the amount of litter on the ground is disgusting. Not to mention even if every bit of it was picked up it would still end up on the ground and these people somehow think okay... kind of a GIANT double standard if u ask me...
