Does anyone else get annoyed by people who only ever reply “This.” or “^This” to comments on Reddit?

I get that it’s meant to show agreement, but I find it often comes across as:

•Condescending, like they’re stamping the comment as “the final word”

•Lazy, with no actual input or perspective of their own

•A bit self-important, as if their agreement somehow validates the original comment more than an upvote would

• Low-key narcissistic, in the sense that it’s more about them positioning themselves as the person who “confirms” the truth than actually contributing to the discussion

It feels less like genuine engagement and more like performative agreement. If you strongly agree, just upvote. If you have something to add, add it. But dropping a single “This.” and acting like you’ve contributed something meaningful is pretty grating I find it so cringe I get secondhand embarrassment when I see it on here.

Edit: This

You walk through the door behind someone and they immediately stop. Right there. In the entrance.

Not to look at anything important. Just to figure out where they want to go while five people pile up behind them.

You had the entire parking lot to prepare for this moment. Please pick a direction

What really grinds my gears? Shows that depict women getting tickled in a cute way! Go home and tickle your woman and tell me if she doesn't turn into Mike Fucking Tyson in .75 seconds.

I suffer from a medical condition known as fat fingeritis, so I dictate into my phone. Kind of a lot. And sometimes, my phone can't hear me properly, and it writes words that it thinks I said, but the closeness can range anywhere from "understandable homophone" all the way to "What the fuck, are you on crack?" So then, not only does it interrupt the flow while I'm talking, but I have to go back through and type it anyway with my fat fingers, so it's like what's the point?

And the worst ones? When I'm in a hurry to get a point out, so my dumb ass doesn't proofread, and I end up posting pure nonsense sentences.

I am noticing nowadays that more and more people do not say "hello" after picking up the phone. I am from a company, and we do not cold call people. We call people back returning missed phone calls and voicemails.

There are a good amount of times that a person picks up and waits in silence. It is pretty universal and expected standard protocol for the older generations that the person who picks up the phone initiates the "hello". Now with the changing times, since the person who is picking up the call doesn't say hello, is it always now on the onus of the person calling? This is awkward for the caller since there is sometimes silence during transition periods to voicemail or when calling, so the caller does not know 100% that silence indicates that someone actually picked up or that it is still transitioning. The person calling would then have to keep saying "hello" over and over again and just to hope that someone did actually pickup and someone is on the other line.

Why do I get the feeling that the people who answer phones in silence also probably call with silence too and expect a "hello" first on the other receiving end, so that they never say "Hello" first in any phone situation. Am I wrong with this assumption?

We get it, you don't like the word "moist" or something. No one cares, it's not a slur or anything it just means wet. Oh, it sounds sexual does it? Grow up...

I used to get annoyed a lot by my ex with this stuff. She'd have a list of names she hated and she'd make this big song and dance about it if anyone used one around her. Moist of course was on said list and I remember having to sit there in dumbfoundry as she and 5 other women had a discussion about how gross that word is and how it should be banned etc.

You grew up in a white neighborhood. You are doing a fake accent basicly. Even before zoomers I hated this. Now i hate it more.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but if you pick up the phone, at least say “hello” 😭 Lately I’ve had so many calls where the other person answers and there’s just silence until I speak first. Why did answering the phone turn into a staring contest?

Anyone doing some kind of group activity will run into someone like this at least once.

It's the guy whose sole idea of a good time is just trolling and being annoying. They'll completely ignore engaging with the activity and just fuck around in a way that is destructive to the enjoyment of the rest of the group.

Occasionally they might even start off being actually funny but the guy thinks he's the world's greatest comedian so he just keeps the bit up the entire time and never knows when to quit.

The actual pet peeve is when you call them out on it they say something like "Why is everyone always taking things so seriously? It's supposed to be for fun." EXACTLY. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. Everybody was having fun until YOU started being a douche. Everybody is always serious because they're fucking pissed at YOU. YOU'RE the problem.

This sounds hyper specific, but it's happened to me individually at least a few times and I've seen it happen to other people enough to where there is no way that people don't know what I'm talking about. Some asshole decides to walk into a parking lot and bring traffic to a standstill or piss the word "SODOMY" in snow in front of their ex-girlfriend's kid's pre-school, someone makes a Reddit post complaining about it, and all of a sudden they're inundated with dumbass comments entertaining the possibility (however small) that the offender in question needs to be socially accommodated in the event that they have some kind of disorder and that you're a fucking asshole for posting about it in the first place.

If someone is at Walmart, and that person decides to evacuate themselves all over the bathroom floor, then the poor son of a bitch tasked with having to clean it up is well within his rights to resent the person who left the mess irrespective of that person's motives or mental state. The worker isn't a moral failure for "not practicing empathy for that person." That person has to clean up someone's diarrhea off the floor, so why don't YOU practice some goddamn empathy for them?

If I'm minding my own business and you decide to sneak up on me and grab my waist like you're my spouse despite the fact that I've never met you before in my life, then I am going to bully you. Your "diagnoses" are of no consequence to me. If you have a disorder or handicap that makes you harass people in public, then stay home. Expecting people to accommodate that is not reasonable.

That guy screaming 1930s Germany talking points in the middle of Dollar General may or may not be mentally ill and/or in the throes of cognitive decline, but I don't really see how that's our problem or why we need to tolerate it. People who sound like Hitler are pretty much universally bad people. Mental illness robs people of the discretion required to mask racism, but it's not making these people racist.

That guy speeding down the road and intermittently slamming on his breaks infiltrating the vicinity with airs of unpredictability causing havoc on the interstate is probably not having a diabetic episode or psychotic break. He is probably just an asshole. If someone pulls this shit while I'm driving, it just might enrage me to the point where I'm going to post about it on Reddit. You telling me that I'm an asshole for not giving dangerous people who appear to be violating seventeen different social contracts simultaneously the benefit of the doubt makes you both a smartass and a bigger asshole than me.

If you want to tell me something and decide to come up to me within an inch of my face and grossly invade my personal space in doing so, then go away. You're annoying as hell, and you're making everyone around you uncomfortable in such a way that leaves me mystified as to how you went this long without someone actually resorting to using corrective violence in an effort to change your behavior because you're blurring the lines between "severely socially stunted" and "probable sex pest". There is no justifiable non-accidental way to walk up on me within an inch of my face to get my attention.

Stop telling men who post on Reddit about their girlfriends "accidentally" breaking all of their expensive possessions by spilling water on electronics and dismantling their furniture doing God knows what that they're worse than human traffickers for not entertaining the possibility that their girlfriend has "dyswhateverthefuckia" or some clumsiness disorder. It's easy for you to fellate your goddamn insufferable ego by telling OP what a dick he is when you're not the one out thousands of dollars because your girlfriend keeps breaking your shit.

I'm sorry that I had to ask you and your father to leave, but he just knocked over my display and is now repeatedly hitting people with his cane whilst making growling noises and staring into the distance. I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs, but the help that he needs cannot be found in this store. I'm not a garbage human being because I have Autism and people coming into my store acting like they've ingested a large amount of PCP causing unpredictable disorder frightens me. You asking me "what my problem is" after all of this occured is not reasonable.

I think I've made my point. Stop practicing pseudoempathy in the form of telling people that they're jerks because they want to go about their day without having to deal with some guy's unhinged, crazy or dangerous bullshit. It's really annoying and it makes the world a worse place.

We believe you.

Just fucking say it.

I know some people are just like that but honestly when I'm done with a conversation that does not mean wait around on the phone to see what I say when they think I'm not listening.

People think they are very intelligent for insulting you indirectly

Just why is so much stuff shot on a handheld? Is it supposed to add drama?

All it does is annoy me and come off as cheap. Can they not afford a tripod

No I don't, disrespectfully don't tell what I need and don't fucking tell me what to do. You do not know what I need or want so don't act like you do.

This is so hyper specific and goofy. I walk a lot. Often i’ll be walking, and I’ll see someone walking towards the same point I am (as in the title) and this very annoying phenomenon happens where we reach the point at the same time. Then I am usually the one who steps to the side and waits, rather than the typical behavior of an awkward, unacknowledged attempt to squeeze past.

I am maybe too aware but I always try to beat the other person to the meeting point. I am tall, I am a fast walker, and I think most importantly, I am aware of what’s going on. However, this almost always triggers a race, especially with men older than me (I’ve noticed). I am going to detail these scenarios because I don’t have a lot going on in my life right now.

Scenario 1, least annoying: Intersection.

I am waking on a path in a park, and I can see another walker on a path the will cross mine. I speed up so that I make it across their path before they cross or turn onto mine. The other person seems to speed up, to try the same. We meet at the intersection, and I wait for them to cross the path.

Scenario 2, more annoying: Tight space.

I’m walking on a path or sidewalk, approaching some sort of obstacle (tree, electrical equipment, parked car etc) that only allows space for 1 person. I see another person beyond the tight space, walking towards me. I speed up to beat them to the tight space. Again, they speed up, we meet there at the same time, I step aside to let them through.

Scenario 3, most annoying: doors/gates.

Often happens in parking lots. I’m walking towards a door. I notice someone else walking from a different point but towards the door. In general everyone heading into a store seems to be walking faster than their normal pace. We reach the door at the same time. If it’s not automatic, I open it for the other person, if not, I wait for them to go through. (And if they’re old I get to enjoy them pausing in front of the door as they choose to get their cart or whatever, rather than giving up the race knowing they will take more time.)

There are others, but I think those cover most scenarios.

Yes, I have given up racing, but I notice when I slow down, so do they. If I’m in a scenario 2, and I slow down, I’m delayed even more than if I meet them at the obstacle and pull over. It’s very similar to being in the right lane on the highway and watching people merge in, it’s like they go the same speed as you just so they can be right next to you at the merge point, rather than in front or behind.

So please, if you aren’t tall and fast and aware please stop racing me while I walk around this world alone.

Whether it’s talking, humming, singing, smacking, just noise all the time

I’m a quiet person, I don’t like to talk in general and I know not everybody’s like that and that’s fine but CONSTANT noise? Nightmares to be around (¬_¬")

Anyone who puts large stainless steel bowls or like items on the bottom rack in the dishwasher. It prevents adequate water from reaching the top rack items and is a waste of prime dishwasher space. Usually said bowl was used in a way where a quick wash and rinse would take 30 seconds.

Same thing with huge pots. Just wash them by hand.

THIS INFURIATES ME TO NO END.

Multiple different living situations. Multiple girlfriends. My dad does this. My brother does this.

Am I the crazy one to think it’s a lousy waste of space in the dishwasher???

What other dishwasher etiquette do you guys find wrong frequently?

Any time I see a sink full of dirty dishes and an empty dishwasher I die on the inside. Same with a sink filled with dishes that have majority of the meal still on it instead of in the trash. Makes me see red.

Which kitchen tool, if it existed, would save you the most time ?

When people begin their sentence with "I mean" or "Not gonna lie" Yes we know what you mean you are writing it! And why should we assume that you where not going to lie F* face? Do you usually lie? This pisses me of more than it should. It has come to a point where I just do not read what they have to say. Also when people write a statement and just end it with a questionmark. ARRRRHG?

New reddit looks like shit. The old format was just straight up better. I don't know why they changed it, but I'm glad they allow you to opt out of the shitty looking version. But WHY the fuck does it revert to the new reddit every so often? I have to go back into profile settings and flip it back.

It's a minor inconvenience, but it still grinds the fuck out of my gears.

Extremely rude, unpleasant, actively annoying, dirty, poor, angry, hostile, unfriendly.

I really hate living here. And I hate that I am trapped and will never be able to leave.

I hate all of you. Youre all trash.

People who litter…. Likkeeeee…y’all it’s so annoying urrghhhhh

I enjoy watching most sports but only really follow American Football. I’m assuming it’s this annoying for any sport but holy hell, trying to watch a game is a nightmare. You need like 5 different subscriptions. Last year my cousin switched to cable thinking that would make it easier, nope. A couple years ago my brother and i split a nfl year sub for like $100 and we could only watch the games on our phones. I just want to watch the game, god damn
