[note, not really piss off a LOT, but SORT of piss me off. a little.]
-1 people saying they're going to "make a change" then continue to talk about the change they're making without actually making the change at all.
e.g. —
day 1: i'm going to stay off social media! it's bad! it's a blackhole!
day 2: [posts 19 things, with one of them being how glad they are that they don't get on social media that much.]
day whatever: [posts 36 things, reminds people that social media is bad, exalts the benefits they've experienced since they've cut back so much on social media.]
-2 facebook posts with quotations from literary sources or famous writers when i know — the the point i'd bet my house on it — that these nincompoops have NOT read the books that held the quotes or who could NOT tell you diddly nor shit about the writers they're quoting.
-3 facebook/IG posts with quotations attributed to a specific literary source or writer that are, in fact....NOT FROM THAT BOOK OR WRITER. ohmygod, the vapors.
-4 misuse of the semicolon. shh.
-5 people who think the oxford comma is no big whoop. IT IS A BIG WHOOP.
-6 minority voices (as in voices that are IN the minority not voices OF minorities) being touted as voices that speak for all.
—7 people telling the same story like every 4 days. ugh!
—8 trump's face. jesus fucking pogo pony, his face.
—9 the inability to get my car washed in winter. apparently, one doesn't DO that in minnesconsin.
— the tammy wynette and george jones docudrama thing on showtime. what. the. hell.
[ok, that's it. i'm not as pissy. lol]

You've probably heard this song by Vampire Weekend, and I imagine you must hate it, right?

My pet peeve is those people who think FB is like their own personal PageSix and have 20,000 friends, and are constantly posting pix of their fabulous lives & memes like "Anything That Costs You Your Peace Is TOO Expensive," illustrated by pix of pug dogs in ballerina tutus.

I deffo feel you on no. 8. I have two browser add-ons that screen out a lot of garbage from my feed, and when I go in on my phone I realize how much they spare me from.
