Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome.

Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you're going off topic and get people mad at you.

Well, don't do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve!

Rules are simple

1: Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain't power tripping bastards, we aren't here to judge users or mods, we're here to vent a little spleen about the minor annoyances of life.

2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already said, this isn't about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it's about us having a peeve.

3: Wheaton's law is in effect. Don't be a dick. It ain't cool, and it won't be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the call as to what is and isn't dickish. Complaining about it won't get you anywhere. If it's a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was.

4: If it isn't obvious, bigotry is inherently dickish. Doesn't matter if it's blatant or dog whistles, don't do it, you'll get immediately banned.

5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an individual as a motherfucker, that's not likely to end in a friendly way. You dig, motherfuckers?

Post guidelines

Try to remember that any pet peeve you have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about other people, there's already communities for that kind of thing.

Example: Turn signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don't know if they're really signaling to turn, if it's something they didn't know they did, etc, so now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and navigation.

Don't just complain about how stupid the people must be, how inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself.

Feel free to refer folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that's part of why we're here :)

The word "slop" (lemmy.ca)

Particularly in film criticism. When someone uses this word, I immediately think they're unpleasable and will complain no matter what.

I am fine with it being used in the context of AI generated content.

Anything else and I agree.

That's where it's being overused the most. No judgement on merits, just kneejerk insistence that anything related is disqualified from redeeming qualities.
