Every day, some annoyance begs the question, “How is this still a thing?” From superfluous charges attached to normal transactions to absolutely predatory social media stars, there is a long list of norms that are way beyond their expiration date. So the new year is a good time to sit down and take stock.
This post may includeaffiliate links.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, being a f*****g subscription.
Pop up ads that don’t permit you to “x” out for like ten seconds. I’ve left many sites for that reason.
The practice of businesses laying off thousands of employees because the company is “needing to make difficult choices” and “cutting the fat” while giving CEOs millions in bonuses.
Influencers
Having to put in payment info for a “Free Trial” so it’ll just auto-renew and start charging you once your free trial is over.
Cancer. F**k you, cancer.
Spinning the iPad around asking for a tip when all you did was take/pull up my order
War
Family vloggers
Old politicians. Let’s start fresh. Pretty sure they’re past their expiration date anyways.
Telling me your life story when I’m only there for the recipe.Everything becoming a subscriptionEveryone begging for a tipLastly: HOAs
Obsolescence being built into things, electronics especially.Rent being so damn high.Groceries being so damn expensive.Having too much month left at the end of my money.
auto-playing videos on websites
Prank YouTube channels that are clearly meant to embarrass or harass people just trying to go about their day
Tipping in America
The teeny tiny X in the corner of ads. Every other mm takes you to the purchase page.
Having to constantly tell websites you’re OK with cookies
The idea that anything can be labeled “hate speech” simply because it “offends” someone.
Andrew Tate
High Cost of Healthcare
Private companies investing in single family housing.
Medical bankruptcy or being unable to access lifesaving care because you aren’t rich enough or are in the wrong country/province/part of the world.
Ticketmaster
People “self-diagnosing” themselves as “autistic” or “neurodivergent.” Just because you’re quirky and have poor social skills Claiming to advocate for other “autistics” while denying the severity of symptoms of those with level 3 autism who don’t have the ability to create a TikTok to advocate for themselves..
Unskipable Ads.
Predatory Prank videos
Fentanyl. I had an 18 year old niece who died from taking a pill she thought was a painkiller, but it was fentanyl and she was gone in 20 minutes. Her “friends” did nothing to help her. Nobody was charged for her death even though they knew who the drug dealer was.Talk to your kids about fentanyl! No family should have to go through this nightmare.
