It is more than just old selfies, People usually post pics like baby pics or when they were younger or had crazy hair from a certain decade. Sometimes family members are included in it. It's pretty fun actually.

I don't do it but I like seeing others post theirs.

Maybe that's the case but there are some movies in the 90s that still have that appearance.

I've only seen a few in my lifetime. It doesn't seem they ever really took off.

(The giant 10" grandfathers of DVD, that is.)

Anyway, something that really irritates me.

I'm naturally soft spoken and it's difficult (even painful) for me to raise my voice.

Person: I can't hear you! You need to talk louder.
Me: [raises my voice]
Person: GOD YOU'RE TALKING SO LOUD RIGHT NOW
Me: [lowers my voice]
Person: [stops listening]
Me: [just stops talking forever]

(and a gif to perfectly complement my mini-rage)

When you've got like ten tabs open and there's a video advertisement going on that you can't find so you have to wait until it stops and pray that it doesn't replay.

That isn't an issue if you use chrome. It shows a little speaker near the top whenever you have sound coming from a certain tab and you can pinpoint it quickly.

Just giving you a heads up. Use Chrome instead.

I am using Chrome and it's not there, or at least I haven't noticed it. I guess it's an older version or something.

$150 parking tickets grind my gears. Apparently my permit wasn't valid in that particular spot.

You know what really, really (and possibly literally) grinds my gears?

Our car has taken a liking to making a disgusting knocking sound while decelerating and accelerating, but not when driving at a constant speed.

(And we never actually know how much gas is in it, the left blinker needs to be flipped manually to work, there isn't a cupholder anymore, the wipers are sloppy, and a couple months ago it suddenly decided to display all temperatures in Celsius/all distances in kilometers.)

Then again, I was a piece of shit when I was 14 years old, too.

Put in some fuel injection cleaner and add about 20 bucks worth of premium fuel when you do it. Sounds like your fuel injectors need cleaning. Fix your gas sending unit. Have Ki change the wiper blades.
