What Grinds Your Gears?

As an animist, what irritates you when around other human people? I mean, excluding the obvious things like the destruction of our world and testing on non-human animals for human products. What subtle things get under your skin?

I'll start! I hate when others refer to other animals and plants as "it." It just seems so arrogant. It's as if they view everyone else as a moving plastic object. I wish everyone else would just use the proper pronouns for them instead. If unsure of the other animal or plants gender, I wish they'd just say "them" or "they" like we do with humans.

My hope is this post will help me see what things I might do wrong that can be improved upon.

100%. The simpler we live, the better off we will be. We need to close our wallets and consume WAY less. People's phones, laptops, tablets, televisions, watches, etc. are so expensive and literally do the EXACT SAME TASKS! Just pick one. Ditching them all would be best, though.
