Occasionally, they will say that they do not have tablespoons and refer him to a soup spoon in which he is perfectly okay with.
I'm starting to think this is the case. They just may know that it irks him.

The past few nights I've randomly gotten hiccups just before going to bed, which ends up keeping me up longer. Tricks to get rid of them don't seem to work on me.
So that.
So that.

Those type of friends that expect you to talk to them everyday on social media then give you effortless one word replies. Never the ones who check up on you, or make conversation, it’s always about them. 
Then when you don’t inbox them for a day they go all moody and claim that you’re not making effort with them, and claim that they deserve more respect.
Why should I make effort with someone who gives me blunt replies back constantly? Puts me on a downer, and I’ve been mates with them for years so it isn’t easy to get rid of them either. I’m stuck. 🤬 I’d rather them not message me at all than to get a blunt reply, it’s exhausting.

Real friends dont need to be talked to everyday, when you do talk again its like the conversation never ended.Those type of friends that expect you to talk to them everyday on social media then give you effortless one word replies.

Spot on! What’s so hard to understand about that? Like I have time to come up with conversation all day long, I call it ‘filler text’ when I’ve got nothing to talk about. Should only be a conversation there, when there is an actual subject to be talking about. And, that person complained because they sent me ‘haha’ before so I ignored it then they said I should give them more respect just because I ignored a one word reply.
How am I meant to reply to that?

With great difficulty I’m probably not qualified to give advice on that, if my friends were like that I wouldn’t have any friendsSpot on! What’s so hard to understand about that?

.What is very annoying is when I'm a little bit tired of stressed while waiting in a waiting room and little children are making a lot of noise and are constantly running around. 
There is a new guy in the fitness, whom I know from another fitness, is constantly blowing loudly through his mouth when doing cardio. He has always been a show-off. Maybe he wants to prove himself because he is old(er). Also, he is constantly driving around with a ski roof box. He has a big SUV and more than room enough to put his skies in his car.

The term "inbox" when meaning to message annoys me.

Why does that annoy you? It wasn’t over text. It was on Facebook messenger. (Still, same thing but I hear more people using the word, “inbox” for Facebook than I do text.) Tbh, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term, “inbox” for text messages.

I don't think the medium matters, SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook... whatever.. infact, looking at my facebook interface, it's not even called an inbox any more.
I just find it irritating... "like inbox me, we'll totes go for an avocado frap"... the word message was fine.

Yeah I guess I can come to an understanding with what you mean. I guess I just say it out of habit. Because I use to use the term ‘inbox’ all the time when I was in Secondary school, it’s kinda stuck with me.

When people don't give clear enough directions which lead to something going wrong or being done incorrectly. Story in the spoiler below for better context if needed, and also truthfully because it's on my mind right now. Not intended to be venting however.
I'm by no means knocking the man or his teaching style, but my auto mechanics instructor had a bad habit of this. There was one time at the end of class while he was giving instructions to clean up, he wanted "every item on every table put away" so I started cleaning up a table he had setup as a learning station for the younger kids. Me being an older kid thinking I was following his instructions, I didn't know he wanted that very table to stay untouched. I was walking back to get the rest of the items and finish, and that's when he flies off the hook wondering "where the hell" the stuff went and who was responsible. I had to tell him what the situation was and he wasn't happy about it being me who cleaned the table since I should've known.
In my defense it didn't help that I was on the opposite side of the shop and couldn't see him during his initial instructions, so if someone asked if that learning table was included I truly didn't know. It also didn't help that it had some oil bottles and filters, oil system parts and shop towels on it; we had multiple oil changes that week and I thought everything was left over and done being used. The kids in my grade including myself were assigned to do tires (opposite side of the shop again), so it wasn't obvious to us or at least me that there was a learning station setup anywhere.
Bottom line it was a simple mistake but after I apologized to my teacher and explained my side, he understood everything. He consistently did a good job at making sure we knew when we screwed something up and not to make the same mistake twice, so it actually turned out that him not being happy with me was actually just his reinforcement to not do it again. Though I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel like it was directed right to me.

Public Transport
When people are lost on public transport and they ask other paying public transport users for directions or where to go it is not the publics responsibility to answer or to help they should ask staff or call customer service and people should stop talking to strangers on public transport and it should be considered rude to ask customers for help. People should make a travel plans before going anywhere.

As a father to an autistic son and daughter, and knowing how difficult public transport is for them, when/if they use it, I would hope that strangers would be able to be good samaritans and take a little time out of their day to help them if needed, I would consider it extremely rude myself to not feel like helping someone for directions if I was asked, just for one example it really wouldn’t matter how well they planned and trust me they do this meticulously, the sensory difficulties associated with public transport mean for them that the best made plans just dont work.
So for me the true is opposite with what confuses/annoys me, will never understand an unhelpful attitude whatever the circumstance, not everything is black and white - I guess the lesson is not everyone gets lost because they didnt prepare or make travel plans.

I'm too timid to enforce my thread topic. I bet that grinds someone's gears.I've stated this before, but apparently it doesn't matter so I've given up on expecting quality content in here. But it's always a plus when there is.
But some folks get what the thread is for and I enjoy their posts.Here's one. I've seen so many videos of this on youtube. Why do so many people jump in front of semi-trucks and then slam on their brakes? Aside from the obvious insurance scam, which is completely dumb(chances with trucks having dashcams are high), I can't help but see it as pure insanity.
