Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    Messaging:

    • People who reply to direct text questions with 5min audio recordings.
    • People who use Enter as if it was the space bar, sending 10 messages for what could be easily sent as one.
    • People who treat their requests as of utmost urgency, but when you contact them back take hours or even days to reply back.

    Online forums:

    • The sort of illiterate fuck who treats “but” as if it contradicted everything preceding it.
    • People who feel entitled to have ELI5 versions of the text content produced by other people. (i.e. throwing a tantrum because of difficult words, text size, or even conceptual complexity.)
    • Usage of “lol” and/or “lmao”. (I mentally translate those into “I’m braindead and should be treated accordingly.”)
    • The sort of dead weight that focuses too much on specific words being used to convey something, instead of what it conveys.

        You // need // some // Xanax // /s 😁🍻

        NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP IT!!! /s

        Serious now. It doesn’t work here, since there’s no audible ping for every reply that you sent me. It’s more like in whatsapp*: I definitively don’t want to mute some people, but I wish that they didn’t send me multiple short messages.

        *inb4 I hate whatsapp but not having it in Brazil is social suicide.
