completely inconsequential pet peeves i have

06 Oct, 2025

Heya!
I haven't posted in a while due to being really busy™, but I had this fun idea for a blogpost and wanted to do it: completely inconsequential things that mildly annoy me for basically no reason. So... Here's the list!

1. The word "colorway"
   I don't know what it is about this word, but i just don't like it. Probably because there's no point. I mean, come on, just say color scheme! ...though i guess that's a longer word than colorway. Oh well, still don't like it.

2. The word "mutual"
   I don't like how, in some spaces (cough tumblr cough), this has completely overtaken the word friend. Just say friend, seriously. Mutual always had this cold, detached sort of connotation for me. I once read a post where someone said they really wanted to make more mutuals, and like, your goal is to only sort of get to know more people? C'mon. You can just call them friends, it's fine dude.

3. The legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom
   I don't know why, but when this game came out, I set myself the goal of never learning anything about it. So far, I've been pretty successful at that. I know that there's some sort of building mechanic? But that's it. I don't even remember why i started doing this, but now it's already been like, at least a year and I'm in too deep to stop. I don't actually know how long it's been since I'd probably accidentally be learning new info about the game if i tried to look up the release date online. I am nothing if not committed to the bit, i suppose. Though i forgot what the bit was even about. I'm sure i had a good reason to start doing this. Probably.

4. Crepe stands that only have sweet Crepes.
   I know the sweet Crepe is the original vision for the crepe - but, come on. Savory crepes are so much better. There's such a distinct lack of creativity in the crepe business, it's honestly apalling. Come on! Be daring! Sell savory crepes, they're the best kind! At least do ham and cheese, that's the bare minimum. But nooo! Instead all we get are nutella crepes. What's the point, man. Are you seriously so uncreative you can't possibly fathom putting more than one ingredient on a crepe?

5. When someone sends me a link with tracking parameters in the url
   C'mon dude. If you send me an amazon link, remove all of the tracking bullshit from it. I don't need an entire essays worth of tracking params in my dms. It's common courtesy! Same goes for your youtube share links. It takes like, what, a couple of seconds to remove that stuff from the end of the url? C'mon. I feel like the world would be a much better place if everyone just removed the tracking params from the links they send to others.

Aaand that's all i can think of! For now. If you have a blog: Feel free to steal this idea! I wanna know what completely meaningless things you get unreasonably annoyed at. If you make a post like that I'd also appreciate it if you email me, so i can read it.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
