You know whats Not on Roids, folks? The list of things you hear people moaning about constantly. Seriously! It’s a competitive sport now: Who can be the most dramatically inconvenienced by… checks notes …everything? Apparently, genuinely intelligent individuals have better things to do than whine about these eleven particular grievances, and frankly, their superior intellect is showing.
Lets dissect this madness, shall we? First up: slow walkers. Oh, the horror of navigating a public space at a pace slower than continental drift! Then there’s mismatched socks (a fashion emergency!), people eating loudly (because apparently chewing is a performance art), and unsolicited advice – as if anyone asked for your wisdom nuggets.
The article wisely points out that while complaining can be good, just to vent stagnant emotions when we dont feel heard, it shouldn’t be a constant state of being. It’s like emotional junk food – temporarily satisfying but ultimately leaves you feeling worse. And yet, here we are, perpetually fueled by the outrage over someone else’s slightly too-loud crunching.
Then we have: people who dont respond to texts immediately (the end of civilization!), incorrect grammar (a personal affront!), and others being happy (clearly a sign of delusion!). The list continues with things like talking during movies, open-plan offices (because the freedom to interact is so burdensome), and other people’s pets – which are apparently only tolerable if they meet specific aesthetic criteria.
Honestly, its exhausting just reading this! People with actual intelligence arent dwelling on these trivialities. Theyre solving problems, creating things, pondering the mysteries of the universe… you know, doing stuff. While you’re meticulously analyzing the trajectory of a rogue popcorn kernel, they are probably inventing a faster way to get it cleaned up.
Its not about being superior; its about prioritizing mental energy. If you find yourself constantly fixating on these petty annoyances, maybe take a deep breath and ask yourself: Is this really the best use of my precious brainpower? The answer is almost certainly “no.”
