Hey, autists. What's something that irritates you that absolutely nobody else/a severe minority seems to care about?

Anything and everything related to noises and sounds being so loud/unnecessary. It feels like the world keeps getting louder and louder for no reason. Speakerphones blasting music and full volume calls on speaker, thudding base/stereo systems, just the volume people seem to talk without any regard for the people around them is ridiculous. That's not to mention any of my misophonia related triggers on top of it all. Some days I really wish I could turn my hearing off for a bit

Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

I have a wireless charger by my bed for charging overnight, it's easier to just plop my phone on the stand when half asleep rather than fumble with a cable. Also, charging speed doesn't matter because it's going to be plugged in for a few hours when I and it's easy to grab when my alarm goes off. But when I need a quick charge, then it's a fast charge cable all the way

I bought some better quality socks

Darn tough socks are fantastic for quality/longevity, their guarantee/replacement policy makes them 100% worth it. Plus they are super comfy and great quality socks to boot. I invested in about 20 pairs over the years and haven't purchased anything else since because they hold up amazing

Because in the film industry, actors are not the ones responsible when it comes to firearms. There are armourers/props, people, and even assistant directors who are responsible for on set safety, actors and crew trust other departments to do their job correctly and safely. There are so many rules and regulations for how guns are handled on set, on every set I have worked on guns were locked in a safe with the armourer being the only one with the key, they would have to have their eyes on the weapon at all times with no exceptions when it was outdside the safe. You don't hold an actor responsible if there is a stunt gone wrong or a piece of the set falls down because it isn't their job unless he was behaving recklessly or outrageously. Although he may hold some culpability due to his role as a producer and the financial stuff, i.e., budget cutting, hiring inexperienced crew, etc. I can't stand the man myself, but he is not the one who is most responsible for this incident
