Truly, what is? What do you have on your chest that you want to get off. You can say it here, we won't judge.

ONE RULE THOUGH. IF I GET A WARNING ABOUT MY BEHAVIOUR........ IT'S YOUR FAULT.

Now that that's out of the way, the show must go on.

1. I hate people that walk slow. I have a classto go to, and my projects gonna be late if you don't get ou... How can someone that only wieghs 90 pounds take up an entire 8 foot wide hallway? Lady, yes you. Yes, I'm talking to you. I hate you.

2. People that can't drive. Idiot, you betterget outta my way before I fall apart.

I feel better. Really, I do. Please., partake in this, and release your rage.

We must have been separated at birth.

Just twenty minutes ago, some moron merged into my lane without looking almost slamming into me. He actually accelerated when he did it. I had to slam on the breaks which nearly caused to car behind me to rear end me. Had I spotted him half a second later we would have wrecked. HARD. That jackass owes me a debt of gratitude for preventing him from wrecking his car. Man I am pissed off about that.

People who drive at 40km per hour in a 60km per hour road/ street.

People who sit at lights and take about 5 seconds to react to a change to green, then drive off as slowly as they can.

Getting 19 out of 21 red lights when driving into the city when in a rush. :(

Heh. Children, old people, and anyone else who can't aprreciate that useful, working people have places to go and things to do. This pretty much ties in with what everyone else has been saying...

On one of the main roads I travel on theres an old woman in a black Peugeot who drives at about 40km/h. I swear she just drives back and forth or something. I've been stuck behind her a dozen times over about fifteen kilometres in the past seven months, and frankly I just want to slam her off the road. As if there wasn't already roadwork EVERYWHERE and police everywhere else.

Mind you people in powerful cars who tailgate you when you're already ten over the speed limit gripe me just as much.

To get off the subject, as a Dell warranty service contractor (I'm not employed by them, I'm contracted by another company) I'm sick of people acting like it's my fault their computers are cheap and failure-prone. Or that I'm not paid to backup their non-functional-anyway hard-drives. Or that they keep brushing their touchpad with their wrists while they're typing. Seriously, I love my job and get to drive all day, but largely because I hear some of the most original, irrelevant complaints people can invent... and get to answer back.

Convoluted traffic patterns! The other day, I decided that I wanted to eat lunch at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant across from KU Medical Center and I wasn't able to make a simple lane change because of a whole line of cars following each other too close, so I had to take an indirect route. Between all of the no left turn signs and a no right turn (!) sign, it took me at least five extra minutes to get there. Not a big deal? Maybe not in the grand scheme of things, but this sort of thing happens to me all the time.

Alcohol is fun.

Does that count?

I hate most of my school subjects. I know this seems like the sort of thing a ten-year-old would say, but why do I need advanced math classes when a lot of the careers out there don't need it?

Also, I hate Bogans. Those people with the Australian accents that you hear on cartoons who live in run-down houses and grow marijuana in the vegetable patch. I swear to god I'm going to get out the hunting rifle the next time they're trying to graffiti our house.

Cheese, you're braver than me. Plenty of people in my neighborhood grow weed in their veggie patches, but they usually have better than hunting rifles to protect themselves, so any who would wish them harm prefer to leave them alone. Of course, they also partake of their own product, so they are too lazy and uncoordinated to do graffiti. One of them did steal my lawnmower once, but he got caught for that and about half a dozen other petty crimes, so now he's someone's prom date in county. He should have stopped his criminal ways before his 18th, all I'm sayin'.

things that irk me (at least when im in the states)

people that whine and complain at the grocer's checkout stand, about the black smudge on the side of the milk carton! get out of my way.. go back get another one with NO black smudge... otherwise just shut up, and pay.. a black smudge does NOT affect the flavor of your crappy milk!!

grotesquely fat people, in general... but especially at restaurants that serve especially unhealthy foods, who then have the nerve to blame someone else about their being fat!!

people in the US, who live in temperate climates complaining about how "hot" it is... true story, got a whole bar to stop and stare at me, as i berated some little whiny, girly man from san fransisco, who was complaining that it was too hot there, at 80 degrees (f) !! im sorry that i have been to places in the world where the average temp. in the shade is about 130F


i could probably come up with a couple more, but im sure someone will have a field day with these as it is

"Also, I hate Bogans. Those people with the Australian accents that you hear on cartoons who live in run-down houses and grow marijuana in the vegetable patch. I swear to god I'm going to get out the hunting rifle the next time they're trying to graffiti our house."

Couldn't agree more.

Whats in my mind.... even though its my bday , im still horribly stressed , mostly about my family's relationship.

My parents divorced , i have 3 step sisters all have super good grades , jobs.

I havnt seen my dad for 3 years, not to mention not growing up with him. My grades are awful and there is nothing to to surpass my step sisters with.

Now he is getting old, i want to spend time with him but my step sisters that lives with him always talk badly about me and my mom, Im always left in the distance.

There :"/

well, first off, happy birthday

while im no expert, i would suggest that you call him direct on the phone, arrange some way to meet up with him without the outside influences of siblings... While they may talk poor about you, i know that he is proud of you, no matter what.
For some strange reason, parents are proud of their kids, seemingly without end. I mean, unless you are charlie manson reinvented, there is something he's proud of. sounds to me like you are still in school, so you're young... dont worry so much about making others happy. find your place in the world, find what sort of career or workfield YOU want to get into, and go for it... nothing will make a family more proud than someone who, may not achieve their ultimate goals, but that they tried their best, and came out the better and stronger for it.

I'm more worried about the world economic crisis than anything else.

People who drop litter, especially when there's a bin but scant yards away,

People-- and I guess here it's mainly an age thing as it's kids-- who put their feet up on the seats on buses. Because I A.Am now old and B.Therefore always right I now deliberately go and choose my seat just to stop them from doing it.

People who walk along the street/wherever playing their gakky music from their crappy phones. Not least as it is never, NEVER a song that is any good.

I can't stand Gordan Brown, I just him want to admit he's ruined the country and retire. I'm also fed up with the bankers, why should we pay for their mistakes? I'll stop before I make myself too angry.

Seconded, i take it you voted Conservative then? I know i did, fat lot of difference it made though

If we are doing the Grumpy Old Men schtick, these are my gripes.

People who don’t move down inside the bus or tube to let others on.

People who don’t get out of the way in the bus or tube to let others off.

People who push onto the tube before letting people off.

People who put their feet on the seats.

People who listen to music too loud, or use their mobile phones too loud.

People eating food or drinking on the tube.

People who out on their make-up on the tube.

People who stand on the left on the escalator.

People who stack their damn luggage in the middle of the aisle on the tube, not in the areas reserved for stacking luggage.

People who stand in the areas reserved for stacking luggage on the tube, and stop people with luggage from stacking it there.

People who take up a seat for themselves and another seat for their bag.

X2 if they look at you in a funny way when you want to sit where their bag is sitting.

All these things are minor examples of thoughtless stupidity and petty selfishness. The Japanese have got a brilliant poster campaign going to try and wipe it out. Here are a few examples.

http://www.julieinjapan.com/2008/12/japans-please-do-it-at-home-train.html

Other minor public annoyances...

People who park badly and take up more space than they need to, blocking others from parking.

People who stop and chat on the pavement, and stand across the narrowest gap so that everyone else has to go in the road to walk around them.

And now here's my gripes for the day:

Girlfriends that can't understand that you've broke up with them and turn up at your house at inconvenient times (ie when I'm painting)

People in Supermarkets that seem to take great joy in bashing a trolley against your legs and then shout at you because you've gotten in THERE way.

Public Buses in general (real trains seem to be okay theirs just something about Bus' see Killkrazy's post)

Also British weather dictating when you can spray models, in other words when it feels like it

Leeches. I hate leeches.

Gear that works intermittantly. NOTHING will make you want to snatch yourself bald faster. Except people acting the fool whao should damn well know better.

Various things are on my mind, I'm the kind of guy who begins a day pondering cheesecake and finishes it with the insignificance of man

Liverpool Vs Chelsea is one of the dullest games of football I've ever seen.

That is all.

AMEN AMEN
very very true..
note: i spent 2 months is aus and the bogans and deros can really get to a man!!

I get annoyed by:

Chronic Proxiers

Americans who've never even been to Europe yet still insist on calling soccer "football"

People that don't use the feeder lane to get up to speed while merging onto an highway

I really dislike Rules Tyrants. Rules tyrants are TFGs that are the all knowing, all wise, and unbendable interpreters of the rules that because they're also the even organizer, listen to no one.

All Jets Fans.

I live in South Africa, and i HATE always having to be overly safety concious and THERES NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!!
think about it (i'm 16 years old and i need a parent's lift everywhere!!) its really not ideal when your this age.
I also hate the complications of girls, like if you like them, they should just go out with you hahah

Otherwise i agree with what all others have said

...you're right it does feel better

When there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits?

And no offense to anyone here because I dont know you. But I HATE ignorant abnoxious americans and I'm affraid so do alot of people.
I have mat many americans that think Africa is a country.. :O!!
The worst example i can give is one lady at JFK international in NY:
she overheard my sister and I talkin and questioned which part of England we were from (She just assumed we were from there because we didn't sound american).
WE informed her that we live in Cape Town South Africa. Then amazingly, upon hearing this she questioned whether we knew her friend in Cairo(Egypt)!!!
She hadn't asked our names nor did we know hers, nor did we know her friend on the other side of the planet's.
*** But, just because we were from africa, she assumed we knew her 'friend'!!!

If terrorism exists I'm sure it is because of examples like this...
But nevertheless my intentions are just to inform, not offend

PS sorry about the uber multi-post

Ok, we'll apologize for being ignorant, but you gotta apologize for Dave Matthews.
