general Mediocrity That Grinds Your Gears

+1-Well, I can't stand collective incompetence and stupidity. Had to deal with that bullshit every unfortunate I was forced to go to Bolivia. I'll make those mediocrity intentionally vague, otherwise I'd spend weeks listing all of them. And they later complain of the crime rate and their president .

2-on the plus side of the above, it made me more patient to the more tame and infrequent cases of such here in America, with one exception: when I've moved to my new house, where the water service is separate, they cut it out the next day, which prompted me to contract the service, where they told me to be installed the next day and I was like "OK, fine". Guess what I got for next day, no water that is. Called to complain politely of such, and was told that the technician would come to check... come evening, NO TECHNICIAN CAME TO CHECK. Called again, and was told the water will come next day, and I was close to tell her off. Thankfully, they seemingly got the message as the water already arrived when I woke up.

3-bad writhing in fics: There are many things that can screw a fic, some less than others. Sadly, bad writhing will screw it outright, even if the plot sounds good. Bad pacing and excessive amounts of "grammur" make reading a huge shore. I'm mentioning this because I was following a fic that was first updated a few days ago, after years of hiatus, but the writing is as bad as before. Ditched it before finishing the chapter
