Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn’t, or something that makes you feel like a nerd for getting annoyed at it.

I’ll start with a combination of the two: When people call chiptune music “bitcrunch”

    Not sure if this counts as a pet peeve but I can’t stand it when people want me to watch YouTube videos with them. Send me the link I’ll watch it later, don’t use up my socialising time for that shit

      I hate when people send me YouTube videos in general. I’m rarely in a position to watch them without it annoying people around me. Also, I don’t pay google money so I end up getting screamed at to buy the next treat before I miss out.

            the firefox and ublock combo works on android too. paired with backgroundvideofix you can watch videos on it.

            if you prefer an app, yt revanced or newpipe can adblock too.

                thats unfortunate but if the consequence is less youtube in your life, all the better.
