The level and breadth of stupidity and incompetence that I witness and must contend with on a daily basis - in all forms, and how it affects my quality of life.

What are some examples?

The level of apathy people have from a completely corrupt government, people's inability to recognize how corrupt a government is, general stupidity and inability to recognize how they are manipulated and controlled which is to the detriment of all of society.

Was talking about things you can control, to an extent. Get in government or STFU is my stance. I want specifics, not just "GOVERNMENT BAD RAAAAAHHHHH"

#Libtards in general.

And @Patrick I know you'd rather I refrain from using that term. But there's a damn good accurate description reason why I do:

That's like saying join the mafia to change it. Or join the military to change it.

And I have nothing to complain about that's within my control.

I'm not complaining about government, I'm complaining about the sheep and cattle I live among that aren't even aware of what kind of government they have, and just eat shit thinking it's knowledge and information. People aren't people, most of them.

Everything these days pisses me off, but in varying degrees.
Herewith a list of complaints, some important, some trivial.
1. Tipping expected everywhere.
2. Yuppie women in nice cars paid for by Mr. Simp who almost run me over as I stroll over to Dunkin.
3. McJob workers who say "No problem" after I say "Thank you."
4. New Yorkers/New Jersey escapees who ask for "cawfee".
5. People who say "Can I get...." when they order a donut, hamburger, etc.
6. Assholes who hit your car when you're parked; they are generally extreme geezers who should not be driving anyway.
7. Illegals, their spawn, crowding everywhere and sucking my blood via my wallet.
8. Assholes who don't realize that modern roads have the signal lights timed for the speed limit; if you speed past me on A1A at 65 mph you and I will end up at the same time at the red light at Donald Ross Blvd.
9. Nasty huge, women from the hood with little loud kids in Publix supermarket.
10. Constant junk mail from United Healthcare and AAA.
11. Girls who "axx" me for money for various "emergencies" (lack of planning or preparation).

The assumption that I want to pay with a credit card rather than cash.

Passive aggression, especially the part where the person pretends he wasn't being passive aggressive.

The use of logically and grammatically incorrect "they" where the correct pronoun is "he" in English, as in the above sentence. "He" refers to both sexes by default and this was understood for centuries until the woke banned it.

The vast numbers of sheeple who are still willfully blind to the fact that the government routinely lies to them, and that this threatens their lives. For example, lying that the toxxine is "safe and effective". I agree with @richwicks on this.

The use of CE and BCE instead of the traditional AD and BC.

I could go on and on, but it's probably not healthful to do that.

Lets see, in the past week: (i) the unethical behavior of the local area planning and zoning folks and the response from the community, (ii) so called pharmacy technicians that are incompetent, (iii) so called automotive experts that really have no clue how an automobile works, (iv) Rel-tards that lie cheat and steal and take advantage of their clients and the system for their own profit, (v) the Rel-tards brokerages that support the lying, cheating, scum Rel-tards that abuse the system, etc...

3. McJob workers who say "No problem" after I say "Thank you."

When I first started hearing this a few years ago it drove me mad. I actually spit back at them a few times with: 'Well, I am glad that my custom was not a PROBLEM for you and accepting my hard earned money was no PROBLEM!' type of thing.
They and everyone around thought I was crazy. Now I just accept it as part of the daily demoralization rituals.

People who say "I did that on accident." I usually respond "Yeah, I prefer to do things by purpose." Goes right over their tiny-brained heads.

Note, the vaunted Grammarly add-on doesn't even flag this error as misuse. /sigh/

I hate that so many Free Style soda machines are out of order.

Why?

Would you prefer "It's no problem for me, after all I'm paid to do it"? It's just another way of saying "you're welcome" or "my pleasure".

It is much different to my ears. Much less gracious, almost snide. It implies that there just as easily could have been a 'problem'. I concede that I am a prickly mother fucker.

I have used "no problem" before, but I never even considered the possibility that somebody would take offense. It literally means "you didn't inconvenience me at all". It's very neutral. If a short woman asks me for help to get something off from the top shelf at the grocery store they will generally thank me, and my response has always been "no problem", you know why? It wasn't a problem. "You're welcome" to me almost sounds like she owed me the gratitude. She doesn't, for what, for me reaching a box or a bottle?
