I have just been checking my Ebay account and have recieved a neutral feedback, the reason being the slow delivery time it took for me to get an item to a buyer.
The thing which this idiot failed to take into account that even though I sent the item via a next day courier, it isn't likely to be delivered if I am given the wrong address and a contact number which isn't in use. What really makes me want to rip this fools arm off and beat him to death with the wet end is the fact that the item went for 99p and it ended up costing me nearly £4 in postage.
I hope your dinkle shrivels up and drops off
However this got me thinking what sort of "little things", such as people talking in the cinema or taking more than 10 items through the express till, make you dispraportionately angry? Bonus points go to the most extreme and elaborate punishments for said discretions!
People who put all their stuff next to them in the empty seat on the bus. We are onto you! Move your crap and quit trying to hog two seats.
People who let their dogs off the leash at the park. They inevitably are large and inevitably come running at us when I am walking weiner legion command. The Shanker always freaks out and I freak out in case they try to make a run on TBone who is fearless but ancient and extremely frail. WHAT PART OF GET YOUR DOG OR IT IS GOING TO DIE DO YOU PEOPLE NOT GET?
Strangely enough when I am walking Rusty the Tank during the week they don't come running up (but kids do which is fine, he likes kids to pet him). The only dog to come running up to him aggressively was a pit bull-YIKES!
People who say they are sorry for something they had no part in.
People who think that every Jewish 13-year-old has a Bar Mitvah. Seriously, JUST BECAUSE I'M JEWISH DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO THROW A 5,000 DOLLAR PARTY, DAMNIT.
People who ask me what my pills are for. It says on the front of the damned thing: DIGESTIVE ENZYMES. If you can't read that, go back to kindergarten, you stupid asshat.
well.... what really burns my is all the petty-stupid stuff that happens in large bureaucracies. Here are a few actual experiences I've had over the last month.
1. This door locks at 8pm, the business closes at 10. So you have to walk all the way around the building if you want to get in between 8 and 10.
2. We need your license plate number to issue you a parking decal. So you have to walk all the way out to the parking lot to get this information for them.
3. we have a computer station so people can use our website, but we also set up a firewall in our search engine so you cant search for our own web site (this actually happened today.)
4. we dont ring up this item at this register. you have to go to a different register and stand in line all over again.
5. we arent going to send you an email to the email address you provide us. were going to set up an email account for you and you have to check that in order to get communications from us.
6. we need your name and address on these 5 different forms. getting asked for your address multiple times by the same institution is, I think, an experience everyone has had, and is completely stupid.
stuff like this just irritates the piss out of me. its petty, its stupid, its disrespectful of the other persons time. Every time something like this happens to me I want to grab the moron who made up this rule and choke the living out of him.
AF
I have an old house. Like, 1800's.
The windows have these plastic 'pull down and then let go' curtains that go all the way up when you do that. The one above my bed only goes up 1/4 of the way, and makes me a little mad. My mom tried to open it all the way one time, and it came undown. he removed the pole from the wall and left in on my bed. Here is where the fun begins. Its 11:00 pm and I want to sleep.
"Oh fething boy, my window doesn't have a curtain." I try to fix it, but it doesn't roll up correctly. Rather than gently take off the pole after I just took 5 minutes to correctly put in back on, I tear it out of the wall, rip the curtain off the pole, crumple it up, throw the curtain on the floor, snap the pole, (its wood) and punch the wall as hard as I could. I am now fuming mad.
But, I still need a curtain. Absolute rage faced, I uncrumple it, and then staple the FETH out of it around my window.
When a girl updates her facebook every 30 minutes... -.- Stalker alert- I swear oneday someone should just stalk her by doing exactly the same thing except boyish.
When a girl says "LIKE Oh MY GAWD Twilight" I immedately turn off my brain.
When a guy in highschool thinks he is "The gak" when he is being a douche to everyone -.-
When a teacher yells at you. For having a pass to go to another class..... wtf?
When a person starts to talk about how horrible their life is. When it is not even that bad. "Yeah i hurt my knee, my day sucks." Me "Well what else has made your day miserable?" "I got a C in a class, and I didn't eat breakfast." Me "Well, You want to know how my day was? Lets see, I got yelled at by a teacher, I slipped today, I accidently hurt my hip, I burned myself, I accidently hurt someone, and one of my turtles died? Now go away! Your day is fine! Stop crying over hurt knee!"
When people chew their food loudly.
When people get angry that I'm not listening to them. Despite me telling them I'm listening to my Ipod. And the fact that there is clearly a wire leading from my ears to a small bronze object in my hand.
When a friend lies to try and sound cool. You've already made it this far by bbeing yourself, lying does nothing to better you in my eyes. Unless the luie is funny. Which it usuually isn't.
I have another two, when people break man-code in public bathrooms. There are (usually) two empty stalls man!
Or, when people wait for you to finish going in the urinal, but stand semi-close and breathe loudly.
When people say your momma jokes, just stop, turn slowly, and stare them down. "You want to F*ck, my mom??"
And say it with extreme empathis. (excuse my spelling, my fething computer's spellcheck wont give me the correct spelling)
hipsters, usually the ones who go to bk, act like they have lived there entire life in bk, yell about how it is poor and thug and how that makes them poor and thug when they have rich parents backing them and they dont realize that everyone who lives around them hate them and they are killing the community and culture that is there... i don't mind if you live in bk, or if you are a hipster, just dont trash it and then try to represent it or say your thug since you live there when you are from somewhere else and ignore all the community surrounding you
that drives me up the wall. def when they try to be like oh your from bk thats awesome, i am too we have to be friends now. no!
also the people who go on rants about how it is stupid to have a piece of paper on the wall, then when they realize said paper framed on the wall is from the world trade center and fell on my roof, they then preceed to stay quiet for a few second before ranting about something else wrong, such as my warhammer guys! This is what happens when you have roommates with egotistic friends
I cant stand drivers who cant keep a steady foot on the gas. For example drive down the highway around 70 then drop their speed to 60 then speed up to 75 back down to 60, etc. Its extremely irritating when its in the fast lane.
More driving rage happens when you are poking at 60 and having drivers whiz past you doing 70, 75 because you are too busy texting or talking on your cell phone. Hell just texting or talking on your cell phone makes me want to perform a P.I.T. maneuver on them! For the ones that keep a steady foot they need their foot ripped off and shoved up their arse so that way they have a reason to not keep a steady foot on the gas!
uhh thank you?
This another thing that irrtates me.
When someone starts talking about pop music. Or rap music....
When someone starts talking about going out with a girl they don't even know.

A stupid sign that sits before the speaker system at my local McDonald's that reads " To ensure promptness in your order,please have your change ready.".....Huh?...what?
How can I possibly have MY change ready...your cashier has MY change...it's what they will give me once I have paid for MY order.
Or perhaps they wish for me to pay for my order with change...in which case the next time I go to that McDonald's,I'm ordering ten Big Macs and paying for them with pennies.
Also...I hate the term "unsweetened tea", it's fething tea you feth holes...if it was Never sweetened..then it can't be UNsweetened.

Yeah, it'd be pretty much the same if you came to a British school. That's just the way kids are.
What pisses me off?
When you're walking down the halls at high school and a group of people decide to park their dumb asses in the middle of the hall and stubbornly refuse to move.
I'm not a very angry person by nature but that makes me want rip someone's head off.

You know what's interesting? Think about all those people that you don't like for a second.
Now that I'm 10 years down the road, you know how many of them I'm still in contact with? Practically none. It's a scam. Just get good grades and move on with your life.
Hmm what makes my blood boil?? well if you were to ask my college mates then they would say everything lol
But yea, having no money and having to play games youve completed before just to waste time (doing that right now), Warhammer models problems (part wont glue onto another part, dropping a bit thats wet with paint or glue onto a recently clean floor etc) that and 10 year olds on Modern Warfare 2.
Honestly id love to find these 10 year olds and shove them into a wood shredder they are that annoying.
People who find it weird im not on facebook. I dont like it. It turns into who can have to most friends. It turns friends into commodities. I didnt like myspace why would i like facebook?
Steam. And windows fething live. I actually did get to play DOWII finally, but the process made me feel like I'd just bought Mr. Garrison's 'It". Seriously. I take back most of the bad things I've said about DOS. I had to make an XBOX gamer tag. I don't know what that is, I don't even own an XBOX and I don't care!!!

People who put their feet up on Bus seats. I realised I'm getting old when I had an epiphany that sometimes I deliberately choose my seat just to stop people from doing this.
The current obsession with "fancy dress" when people go out. What ? When was this approved ? Did I miss a vote ? It's for children only, grow up.
My housemates stubborn inability to notice that they haven't quite turned a tap completely off
They don't drink a glass of water or anything else that way, which means they're doing it because it's too hot for them. And if it's too hot for them...let it cool a little instead of sharing loud gurgling noises with the rest of us.

Yeah it pisses me off when people stop in the middle of the sidewalk outside my office to smoke or talk on their phone and everyone is going around them. GET A CLUE.
Or when 4-5 people are walking shoulder to shoulder down the middle of the parking lot when your trying to get to a spot.
People who like to have conversations in doorways... I usually say something about that, like "Anyone else find it interesting that people can always find the most inconvenient spot to have a conversation"
When there are multiple stalls open and some dude takes the one next to you... Bro code violation.
People who go slow in the fast lane, then decide they want to speed up when you go to pass.
When there is traffic and people end up stopping in the intersection for a green light, then it turns red, and your light turns green, but now you cant go cause some gak is in your way.
And last...
When there is a line of cars a half mile long waiting to exit the interstate, and some fuckhead decides to zoom all the way to the front of the line, put his turn signal on, and stop in the middle of the damn interstate. Then he does that thing where he shoves the front corner of his car between you and the guy in front of you and forces his way in. Then waves like he is thanking you for letting him in...

I hate liberals. Not really though. I just hate the ones that when you compare them to regular liberals are like fox news talk show personalities compared to regular conservatives. At least the talk show personalities are acting crazy to get ratings. It also seems like the older I get the more crazy liberals there are.

This only bugs me when there are people who are standing. If there are empty seats it makes perfect sense to put a backpack full of books next to you instead of on your lap. But when you've still got them there and there are people standing because there are full seats then you are just being a dick. Same goes for putting your feet up on the seat.
Something I absolutely despise and would like to rid from this world is how you are expected to record every single part of your life on Facebook. <rant> Ok, I use Facebook to catch up on mates, organise days out, but whenever you see a news item, for example, they say something along the lines of "a Facebook group has been set up regarding the matter", with some occations calling it breaking news that a group has been created. Anything else we see on the internet, even here on Dakka, we are expected to share on Facebook. The whole thing just sickens me </rant>
Ok, for anyone who thinks I may just be an old guy who doesn't understand what Facebook is about, I'm 16, and although I have a page on it, I very rarely use it.

The trick to that is to drive a car that is worse than his and not budge as he comes in. Just follow real close to the guy ahead of you and as he nudges in just move closer to him. If his car is nicer he'll back away.
^I'm guilty of doing that. Except it backfires sometimes. Some people force me to let them sit even when there is an open seat because they know I hate it.

Whats really fun is to find the akward antisocial guy on the half full bus that you know is uncomfortable. Go and sit right next to him, even if there are other seats.
People who phone on behalf of 'your bank' then so they can check they have the right person, expect you to give them your personal details, then when you say that you won't because hwo do you know they are the real thing, they offer you a number you can call so you can check
People who leave their cars running while they go into a store. It takes more fuel to idle for 10 seconds than it does to start the vehicle. Shut your piece of car off if you're not using it!
Parents with maturity issues. You might not want to grow up, but when you had kids, you made that choice. Act like the adults you're -supposed- to be. They try to pass off blame for their mistakes, they still expect free handouts, and only their time matters. We had a couple living on my old street that were like this. They moved within a year. Probably due to all the fines they kept getting from Bylaws because of all the complaints they caused.
People that rice-out/fart-up Honda Civics. It's not a race car, it's a cheap, reliable, economy car. But if making your car sound like it has a cracked exhaust manifold makes you feel better about your purchase, go on ahead. I'll enjoy my turbocharged V6 that actually has some balls.
Emo. The "music", the "culture", everything about it. It needs to die in a fire.
People that tailgate. Although I do enjoy driving at a whopping 20Km/h when they do so, and watching their reactions in my rearview.
People that don't signal and/or shoulder check when they change lanes, and then flip off the people that they cut off. I saw a guy do that to a bus! In a compact car! I mean, first off: Bus beats clownmobile. Second, city busses always have right-of-way unless making a left turn. Do everyone a favour and get yourselves into a fatal accident with a brick wall.
Stoplight Texters/Cellphone drivers. Words can't convey the burning hatred I feel for you lot. I can't even call any of you 'people'. You disgust me that much. Not a single one of you happens to be so important that you can't wait until you get home. Again, I hope you all find your way into a fatal accident with a brick wall.
Line jumpers. People patiently wait their turn for a reason. You're not special (Well, maybe with a capital 'R', but that's another story), get in line like everyone else.
And lastly, perfectly healthy people that park in Handicap parking stalls. They're there for people that need them. Use your functioning legs and walk your lasy arse the extra 10 or 20 feet to the door you waste of flesh and air.

*Whew*. Damn that felt good
I agree, but being 'emo' is sort of normal for people. People call me emo, even though I'm sitting around thinking, which irritates me to no end. I indeed hate it when they make that their appeal and start a trend out of something as normal as patient deliberation
At my High school there are those who don't flush. Seriously, attempt to act your fething age. It's pretty damn simple, stand up, push button, how the could you people have gotten that wrong!? But it doesn't stop there, some decide "Oh let's urinate on the floor, people won't mind". And the absolute worst, smearing fecal matter over the walls.
WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO FRACKING DO THAT!? My school never went looking for this moron and resorted to locking all but one bathroom for the rest of the school year (6 months)
Other than that, there's hipster slang, anything on Sirius 1, and flying insects.

See? I KNEW I liked Canadians. You guys are doing it right!
Man, you want to try going to mainland europe! Those fethers just can't queue - it's bloody chaos over there. It's the only fair way! How are they not getting it?
I have a theory that that's why they think Brits are violent. 'Pushing in' a queue in front of someone is a grave insult here - people have been killed over it! So naturally a bunch of likely lads rock up in some spanish resort, get a load of cheap beer in them, then some spanish bloke pushes into the queue for a kebab. 10 seconds later:

Our school has those auto flushers, or you can hit the handle with your foot (my preferred means of flushing..No way I'm reaching down there!)

My school also has those with a "manual flush" button which I use when the auto timer wont flush (which is all the time meaning some people should learn) and I also use my foot with handles because my hand ain't touching something that was obviously splashed with toilet water.
Upper management. I hate upper management. Iv worked at a lot of places and they always have no idea about how the lower management people DO their stuff. At my work, they decided to change (upgrade) our software. Its now 10 times slower and their pushing us to do 10 times more work. Sigh.
Smokers. Yeah you heard me. What gets me is the young people who take it up. Seriously, how stupid are you? And girls, if you like being pretty, the stuff makes you age quicker, teeth go yellow and your breath, well, yuck. I feel no remorse for smokers.
The little emo\goth try-hards. You give a bad name to real goths everywhere. Dont wear all your crazy spikes, armour, makeup during the day and especially when its so hot the road is melting. It looks dumb, even to other goths (day vampires? sigh). I
Todays music. Iv never been into it but these days its just bad. Really bad.
People who can't use a public toilet. I believe its the person(s) who are afraid to touch anything that cause all the issues. You know who you are! Putting toilet paper around the seat (which doesnt help by the way, just so you know), guys who dont put the seat up etc. Afraid of germs? Wash your hands. Better yet, theres this thing called a shower when you get home. Germs are on everything, they dont stay in the public toilets. Used an Eftpos (bank teller) machine? Put your hands on a door knob or magazine at the newsagents? Guess what, chances are Mr PooHands has touched that too.
People who judge me because of my car. I own a 97 GTR-T R33 skyline. It seems that if you own a skyline then your in the majority of idiots\hoons\dangerous drivers category. I had no idea what a skyline was when I got it. Leave me alone (looking at you too cops!! They're yet to fine me for anything though). I like my car.

Iv got a leather trench coat. Its SOOO nice. Unfortunately I live in redneck city and security guards follow me if i wear it. Sigh.
I use to hang out with some goths. Im talking the real deal, these guys where scary yet fun. They only wore their stuff at night when going out to a club. During the day it was black shirt, jeans or shorts and boots. Nothing fancy. Makeup was only for the special night outs.
People who drive below the speed limit. Like being caught behind some fether in a 60 zone who's driving 40. It is infuriating.
People who don't go when the light goes red. There is a set of lights on my way home from work which, I swear, must have some sort of magnetic field emitter built into it that halves the IQ's of most nearby drivers, because I've waited a good 5-10 seconds at that green before the people in front of me start moving. It is infuriating.
I'm a very angry driver, not because I consider myself to be a "good" driver, but because so many people on the road are such fething terrible drivers.
At my High school there are those who don't flush. Seriously, attempt to act your fething age. It's pretty damn simple, stand up, push button, how the could you people have gotten that wrong!? But it doesn't stop there, some decide "Oh let's urinate on the floor, people won't mind". And the absolute worst, smearing fecal matter over the walls.
WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO FRACKING DO THAT!? My school never went looking for this moron and resorted to locking all but one bathroom for the rest of the school year (6 months)
Other than that, there's hipster slang, anything on Sirius 1, and flying insects.
Not trying to one up you, but that's got nothing on what a kid did that really boiled my blood back when I was in school. A kid in our class dies, we go out to the grave one day, this kid and his friends stay out there for a minute, and head back to the bus. When I finally get back there, I get into my seat along with the dead kids best friend (who, I must say, was an absolute monster in the fact that he could pick up the teachers and throw them if he wanted to.) and the jackass says to his friends "I hope the rest of them stay out there longer, I don't want to go to class."
A kid he just grew up with died, and he is only caring about the class he is missing? Pathetic, just plain pathetic....
The bad thing was was that I was caught between that jackass and the big guy. I'm probably only alive today because the big guy (who has become a good friend of mine since) isn't the violent type.

Once again your penchant for anti-social behavior makes me cringe. Hint: This gak does not make you look cool. At all.

See I don't get all that bent about stuff like that. People like that are just so ignorant it's not worth getting upset by.
Poeple that park across pedestrian crossings when the traffic is heavy. Really, is it going to get you that much closer to you destination. That half a car length! You punk bugga! You've just made an accident about ten times more likely so you could get three meters closer to the car across the road from you!
God, if I had more courage and less brains I'd walk over the bonnet of your car when you do this!

I have done this. Some people tried to get violent..... then see me standing and choose more wisely.
What gets me boiling mad these days:
My roommate that works a MAX 20 hours a week, then comes home and complains that dishes are not washed and house cleaning needs done, then locks himself in his (filthy) room for the next few hours playing WoW. He even had the nerve to get annoyed when I had to ask him to move his pos Mazda so I could go to my Full Time Job... why? Becasue he was in a "Raid" and didn't want to be bothered. This guy is just shy of a living abortion as far as I am concerned. I could go for hours about things I do not like about him. The only reason he still lives here is because he sleeps with the girl that owns this place.... one way of paying his share of the rent I suppose, though, as I understand it, she isnt exactly happy with his bs attitude toward finding a better job, or helping around the house.

Don't worry about one upping me, it's alright. Still, with undisciplined kids like this, whatever they do, they'll enjoy playing their little game until the day comes when they realize their lives are of no more worth than the flies I so proudly crush with my hands. Living with an angry grandparent as a disciplinarian has never been so rewarding.
When a girl stops talking to you. Because of f---ing rumor about me liking her -.-
And of me being gay.
Which is so not true...... Except me liking her.
I hate gossip in general...

Well, obviously people from Dakka are excluded!
As for the flatmate thing, I had the same issues a while ago but worse, so I know your pain. When the scumbag got thrown out I tossed his bags down the stairs at the end and then spent a week cleaning mould off the walls of his room! Bleekch!
I hate it when people stop at a red light, and then spend the rest of the light creeping up to the intersection. Seriously? Are you making the goddamn light change faster? Then when it DOES change, they are usually so fething close to it, they dont see the change.
People on cellphones. I swear to god, one of these days Im just going to SNAP and take someones phone, and drop it in a toilet, or step on it or something violent to the wee phone. Example today, my brother and I walk into a gas station to get some food. We are waiting behind this dick whole yakking away on the phone, about his room mates girlfriends "big boobies" and taking FOREVER to grab a damn hotdog. Almost. Went. Nuts.
I also hate door to door types. My house is in a neighborhood that just gets them by the hundreds. Seriously, if I wanted new windows, I wouldnt wait for you to come asking. Also, if I wanted to attend church , ID fething BE THERE WOULDNT I?!?!?!?
People that whine about their lives. Get the feth over yourself

Actually where i live it does work. We are tripping the light. Except our town is weird that way.

Hehehe.... In cases like this, and some others where people are just annoyingly in the way..... I just use my 'outdoor voice' and say in a nice loud barritone... "EXCUSE ME." They invariably turn to see my 6'4", 200# frame looming over them. The look on their faces is print worthy.
I gotta agree 100% about the cell phone thing. Some people act as if there's an umbilicle attached to the freaking thing.
Example: Each year at Halloween I take tickets at the door of a popular haunted barn attraction. Thousands of people go through it on the weekends. I tell them the safety rules then send them in in groups. Now, even though we have signs that say "secure your cell phones" we get people who want to enter the attraction while jabbering away on their phone. Worse yet are the ones who try to use their phone like a flashlight (its DARK) and then drop it somewhere inside the barn. They come out insisting that we stop everything to look for their lost precious cell. I have guys inside who I call on the radio and have them do the searching. If they find the phones they usually have been stepped on quite a bit and don't work any more. Then these cell monkeys are angry at us? Grrrrr......

My nephew was that kid. He used to throw poop on walls and ceilings and stuff in elementary and junior high. One time he got busted by his brother and then they both started doing it.
BUT NOW FOR THE KARMIC JUSTICE.....
He got a job a few years ago as a janitor at a Fundamentalist Lutheran elementary and junior high. One day, I went to pick him up and he came out the the Schissekampfwagen, my '92 Dodge Caravan's nicname, and started going off on all the little a$$holes at the school. There was a rash of poop smearing and "dropping deuces in the urinal." I just laughed and laughed reminding him of what a little sandy butt hole he had been when he was a kid. Then we smoked a scoob, hit the Dairy Queen and played Return of the King on the PS2 for a good 2 hours.
Heres one.... Why does EVERY FREAKING D&D adventure have to be some god aweful "save the world" for little or no reward crapfest? What ever happened to a simple dungeon crawl.. you know - Kill monsters, take treasue? And don't go blaming Tolkien.... even he had a bit of dungeon crawl/hunt the monsters adventuring hooks.
When i was a bartender and someone was talking on the phone, even if they tried to signal me, i would ignore them.
Then when they got off the phone and asked my why I wasnt helping them I would say " I was just being considerate and not interupting your conversation"
When people assume that because I don't drink at the age of 16, it means that I'm weaker/less brave/cool/tough than people who do.
I don't like the taste/scent of alcohol, and I'm not going to force myself to drink something that I don't like the taste of just to be seen as "hip".
For example, at a recent party, I was asked why I don't drink. During my explanation of why I don't drink, the imbecile who I was explaining to punctuated every other one of my sentences with insults under his breath, as if the fact that he drinks makes him intrinsically tougher than me.
I'm almost a foot taller than him, do rowing 8-10 times a week, and am a lot bigger than him muscles-wise, and yet people still seem think that because I don't drink and I "talk all posh loik" it means I'm a wimp.
(point of fact, at this party I was referred to as Jesus, behind my back, as not drinking is obviously the height piety.
I hate getting woken up in the middle of the night because some fething terrorist thought it was a good fething idea to attack our fething base. I hate the behavior of mother fething terrorists and their fething ideals.

Just point out that Jesus did in fact drink.... the wedding at Caanan... the last supper... At least 2 instances of him drinking. (Look up Passover rituals for the second one.)
1. FETHING CONSPIRACY THEORISTS! ARGH!!! I REALLY hate when I'm trying to pay my respects at Ground Zero, and there's some loud gakker screaming about how Bush blew up the center and yadda yadda yadda....
2. People whose debate techniques are: I CAN TALK LOUDER THAN YOU! I'M RIGHT!1!one!!
3. People who mock me because I have different political beliefs than them. Point in fact, I am a fiscal conservative living in California. I am surronded by liberals. Saying something like, "I think the [insert issue here] is bad because [insert conservative idea here]. ANd the response is. OMG! YOU'RE CONSERVATIVE?? DO YOU HATE GAY PEOPLE??
4. People who insist on spreading rumors. Just because my best friend is a girl, and I thus spend lots of time hanging out with her does NOT mean we're dating.
5. Stereotyping, just....stereotyping in general. I won't even go into it.

/thread
Having written these all down, I think I'm a very angry person inside. Here's the full list of things I came up with while reading this thread...
People who are judgmental about minor things. Case in point: one of the managers at my work is a nice enough guy, kinda quiet at times, but isn't afraid to crack the whip. About a week or so ago, I asked him to sign a request for me to get fewer hours during the week - mainly because with my current work and school schedule, I was getting about an hour to do two hours worth of homework, and was really starting to fall behind because I just didn't have time to do the work. He just kind of shakes his head as he does, letting me know that I'm probably only going to work 3 days a week now because of how the shifts work.
People who tailgate because they want to speed. I sometimes find it funny to go five miles under the limit when they do, and watch their reactions. People who are judgmental about 40k. I know they are toys, essentially, but my dad acts like I'm the scum of the earth because I'm not into sports like the rest of the family. People who play with my things and break them (usually inadvertently). Happened with two tape measures now - the tape no longer locks in place, and one of them is permanently bent at about the 4 inch mark because one of my buds was screwing around with it. People who fiddle with settings on the computer without asking/fixing them when they're done. Parents who can't see as well as I do + me at max resolution for my monitor = I've lost icons to the res getting set to 800x600. People who stand in the middle of lines/in front of counters at fast food places, not ordering anything, just talking amongst each other. Seriously, go stand somewhere else, don't make everybody wait behind you for five minutes until you say that you're not in line. People who can't turn the faucet off properly - and it drips. Constantly. Until. I. Go. Turn. It. Off. People who decide to eyeball microwave times without turning it off properly. I use my microwave for telling the time, but it doesn't help when it's permanently frozen on 4:37 when somebody took something out early... People who decide that a thin stall wall is privacy enough, and start letting rip on the john to the immense disgust of everybody else in the restroom. People who walk out of the restroom without washing their hands. (By the way, be wary of shaking hands of customers - it's shocking how many people assume that they don't have to wash their hands, just because the sign says 'Associates are required to wash their hands before returning to work.' People who decide at the absolute last minute at a stoplight that they want to turn, and go half into the turn lane. This does a wonderful job of backing up traffic, because half the weight of the car isn't enough to trip the light to go off. Modern music in general, but mostly songs that decide to copy+paste an old rock song and change the beat/lyrics slightly. (The modern version of the song "You Spin Me Right Round" usually makes me want to punch a wall because the lyrics are wrong - and consequently, people try to sing the song without knowing the real lyrics) People who decide to leave the seat down in the stall when they take a piss - and wind up missing the bowl to get that lovely yellow liquid sitting on the seat. People who don't pay attention when turning at a stop light. The light was red, I was on my bike and had the Walk signal to go across. The lady in the turn lane, NOT WATCHING THE ROAD, decides to start pulling ahead, and almost runs me over as I go across.
Oh! Forgot to mention my two sleeping annoyances: Getting woken up by someone else for some irritating reason (my siblings going on the computer, which is in my room, because I have school in the morning and they don't...) and having my internal clock wake up 15 minutes before my alarm clock. I set my alarm to give myself the absolute minimum amount of time to get ready to as to have the most time for sleep as possible.
I am a bitter, bitter man now that I think about it.

Brooklyn, NY.
Hipsters ruined the place. Don't let it happen to your neighborhood. Think of the song "Common People" and you'll get why people are annoyed. Preferably the Shatner version. It's superior in every way.

Only guy's I've ever met from Brooklyn were some marines I met during the 80's, THEY were tough bastards, real hard ass until you got to know them.
So all I can say is I've liked everyone I know from NY.

It's not the people from there that are causing the heartburn. It's people that move there. It's complicated.
I really hate it when people say i'm depressed. And Take pills for it... Everyone is depressed get over it! its called a job! EVERYONE HAS THAT PROBLEM! But we all get happier when it is friday at 5:30.

I agree. It seems to be a compulsive thing now. If you're some unknown alternative band, you have to set up some prep studio in brooklyn to make a name for yourself (Like MGMT. Go back to Pennsylvania, nerds). That 'ghetto' stereotype of brooklyn is gone, whcih saddens me greatly.

Thats what makes me mad.
Does your GF not like?
Do you speak different?
Does your breath smell in the morning?
Does your Legs hurt after a mile of running?
Do you have a cold that only happens every year?
Are you not making money?
Is your skin growing hair?
Are you not satisfied with your sex life?
Do you have a fansication with knives? Well you have cancer!
We have pills for all this

This. Freeking this. Just because I hate that piss-waser beer you guys bought and refuse to drink some just to get drunk does not mean i'm weak. Example: my after prom. Twice in the night I was accussed of being boring for not being drunk. Oh so so so sorry I don't enjoy puking up and making a fool of my self. Go make your aquitance with Hel.

Kick his ass. Please.
And same for me, I hate it when my friends ask me why I don't drink underage. Its illegal, and tastes like piss.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with drinking when you are underage and if the beer tastes like piss you should probably get some better beer. Those guys are a bunch of tools though. If someone doesn't like to drink that's there business and "I don't like to drink" should be the only reason someone ever needs to not be drinking.

I don't like the taste/scent of alcohol, and I'm not going to force myself to drink something that I don't like the taste of just to be seen as "hip".
For example, at a recent party, I was asked why I don't drink. During my explanation of why I don't drink, the imbecile who I was explaining to punctuated every other one of my sentences with insults under his breath, as if the fact that he drinks makes him intrinsically tougher than me.
I'm almost a foot taller than him, do rowing 8-10 times a week, and am a lot bigger than him muscles-wise, and yet people still seem think that because I don't drink and I "talk all posh loik" it means I'm a wimp.
(point of fact, at this party I was referred to as Jesus, behind my back, as not drinking is obviously the height piety.
Kick his ass. Please.
And same for me, I hate it when my friends ask me why I don't drink underage. Its illegal, and tastes like piss.
Same here.
Most of my friends are 21+, and they try to invite me to drink all the time. I don't really want to, (no offense to anyone, but I hold myself as being better than the animals that people become at high school drinking parties.) and the stuff tastes like gak.
Wine, on the other hand, is amazing..... and I get made fun of because I am not "manly" and that "real men don't drink wine". To which I reply "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!"

Anyways, I was talking about conservatives. Conservatives don't have any facts, and when you show a conservative facts, he just starts squawking about liberal bias, or going off on some screed about the horror of brainwashing that is a college education. I mean you have to know what I'm talking about, Rain. You're always running around here ignoring facts, making up nonsense, and failing to support any of the ridiculous positions you take.

If you believe in morals without religion, then you should be able to believe of society without government.
As for your questions, remove yourself from their paradigm is one answer. I did. I pay sales tax of 5%, and $90 or so a month for socialised medicine in this country. That is all. I too got sick of Canada flushing a good 30% of my paycheque away on whatever.

Whenever my GF says that, I always respond with, "well, that depends on what the favor is." Then, after I hear what it is, I decide if I'm going to do it or not. Works like a charm.
As for it being a passive aggressive order, maybe, maybe not. I use that phrase sometimes with my troops so that it isn't a direct order. So, they don't feel like I'm telling them, you must do this or that. It's a way to say hey, I really need this done, can you do it? I hate to ever have to say to a troop, you will do this. Most of the time things get done quicker if they are phrased in the form of a question, at least in my experience.

Y'know one thing that drives me a tad nuts? People who stereotype a whole group of people. Not all conservatives are like that, I happen to be a conservative who will listen to facts and change my arguments to deal with them or whatever needs to be done. Conservatives have plenty o facts on their side, and just because some conservatives are crazy, screaming, McCarthy-ist nut jobs doesn't mean they all are.
Oh, one more thing to add to my list of things that boil my blood. News casters who don't let someone who disagrees with them talk. Nancy Grace and Chris Matthews I am looking at you.
There's two types of 'conservative' though. One I can respect... the one with the 'less government' fiscal ideal. One I can't stand: the god-fearing, gun toting, prayer-in-schools, anti-gay-marriage, pro life, pro-death penalty type who vote based on their religious faith. Religious conservatives bug the sh!t out of me. Financially responsible and personal rights (like the bear arms thing for instance) conservatives are on my team.
I also hate flakey hippies just about on the same level as religious morons, self-proclaimed 'wiccans', women who throw punches with the assumption that they won't get hit back, I hate it when people who get to sit around doing next-to-nothing at work (cubicle culture), act like they think they are better than me for having a 'good' job, while I bust my ass for less wages doing the tough jobs, and don't have the luxury of playing 'mafia wars' or writing on 'dakka dakka' while I'm theoreticaly at 'work'.

Having had a lengthy conversation with you, Chris, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...there is a very large gulf between your self-perception and your actual behavior. In short, no, you aren't the sort of conservative who "will listen to facts and change my arguments to deal with them." You are very much the sort of person I was complaining about, the sort who thinks his uninformed, uneducated opinion is worth sharing, can't be bothered to educate himself, and insists on "agreeing to disagree" when he should be recognizing the limits of his knowledge and trying to learn more.
I mean heck, Chris, my comment about people who are incapable of recognizing that some opinions are foolish and embarrassing was directly inspired by your post in the Blood Dolphins thread whinging about how dare I say that your completely uninformed, ignorant and pig-headed opinion was wrong, as if it were utterly implausible that maybe, just maybe, you might have been talking out of your ass.
Conservatives have plenty o facts on their side, and just because some conservatives are crazy, screaming, McCarthy-ist nut jobs doesn't mean they all are.
Nope, 'fraid not. All facts support liberal positions. Conservatives positions are all based on dogmatic assertion of ideological fallacies that exist in defiance of basic facts, except those conservative positions that lack even that much "support" and are little more than empty, rhetorical dog-whistles for racists, xenophobes, sexists and homophobes. Conservatism is not a rational position, it is a frothy stew of hate, ignorance, idiocy, and lies perpetuated to maintain the elites.
You can pick any commonly asserted conservative position, name any recognized conservative principles, and I can show you exactly why it's a complete load of crap. Except you'll insist on agreeing to disagree, even after we reach the point where anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty would have to capitulate and admit their position is filled with faults.
Feel free to test me on that, I do enjoy pointing out how stupid conservative positions all are. Not that conservatives are ever convinced. It's pretty hard to convince people who regularly deny the possibility of reason and truth that there is a reasonable truth.
I hate people who are deliberately belligerent purely because they disagree with someone's standpoint, and who seem to need to be able to see themselves as right, by trying to destroy other people's opinions.
Just because you have an opinion, which may or may not be backed up with evidence, doesn't mean that other people aren't entitled to their own.

Yeah. Whatever. I'm just sick of conservatives inciting hatred of gays, muslims, and other minority groups because of their precious right to have an indefensible, stupid and often inhumane and backward opinion they can't hope to support.
Call me belligerent all you want. I hate conservatives, and I'm not going to apologize for it.

With concrete boots on. Wait til you've had a few friends end up in a hospital because some jack-booted fascist half-wit got riled up by conservative anti-gay hate speech and beat the crap out of them.

Yeah. Whatever. I'm just sick of conservatives inciting hatred of gays, muslims, and other minority groups because of their precious right to have an indefensible, stupid and often inhumane and backward opinion they can't hope to support.
Call me belligerent all you want. I hate conservatives, and I'm not going to apologize for it. Conservatives are gakky human beings with gakky ideas that they can't defend, so they have to enflame the worst tendencies in the worst sort of people to get power, and the world would be a better place if they all jumped in a lake. With concrete boots on. Wait til you've had a few friends end up in a hospital because some jack-booted fascist half-wit got riled up by conservative anti-gay hate speech and beat the crap out of them.
That gak really makes my blood boil.

I hate racists in general
I hate races in general too.
So wrong, and yet, my sides hurt from laughing. I am a complicated man.
Ok I am currently among the most PISSED OFF people in the US......Why?
All week Fox Sports has been advertising that they would be showing the game between Philadelphia and Green Bay. They even published a map showing what areas would be veiwing which games. The "A" team of commentators even in Philadelphia.
So..... Here in Oklahoma, they are showing the Arizona/St. Louis Game.... because some former player for the local college now plays for the Rams. And its a massive suckfest of a game.
So why am I pissed? I grew up in Philadelphia, been raised as an Eagles fan. Anyone that knows NFL know about us Eagles fans.

You've gotta get that sports package, man.
I'm in the same boat, I had to watch Red Zone today to catch my Patriots updates.

Having had a lengthy conversation with you, Chris, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...there is a very large gulf between your self-perception and your actual behavior. In short, no, you aren't the sort of conservative who "will listen to facts and change my arguments to deal with them." You are very much the sort of person I was complaining about, the sort who thinks his uninformed, uneducated opinion is worth sharing, can't be bothered to educate himself, and insists on "agreeing to disagree" when he should be recognizing the limits of his knowledge and trying to learn more.
I mean heck, Chris, my comment about people who are incapable of recognizing that some opinions are foolish and embarrassing was directly inspired by your post in the Blood Dolphins thread whinging about how dare I say that your completely uninformed, ignorant and pig-headed opinion was wrong, as if it were utterly implausible that maybe, just maybe, you might have been talking out of your ass.
You can pick any commonly asserted conservative position, name any recognized conservative principles, and I can show you exactly why it's a complete load of crap. Except you'll insist on agreeing to disagree, even after we reach the point where anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty would have to capitulate and admit their position is filled with faults.
Feel free to test me on that, I do enjoy pointing out how stupid conservative positions all are. Not that conservatives are ever convinced. It's pretty hard to convince people who regularly deny the possibility of reason and truth that there is a reasonable truth.
Y'know Gailbraithe, didn't you already get a 5 day ban for personal attacks in debate? I reported you as well as the claim that dogma alone got you banned.
See the bolded stuff above? That is not necessary for you to convey your point that 'ChrisWWII's opinion is wrong'. That is random gak that you just tack on because you want to insult me. If you want to debate someone, cut out all the insults. A good debater shouldn't need insults to back up his or her points. THeir points should stand on their own merit. Yes, I hold the opinion that agreeing to disagree is a completely valid solution because some disagreements come from such deep seated emotional viewpoints that they are irreconcilable, and both can be right at the same time. In our earlier debate, we both had viewpoints that were on clean opposite sides, and were obviously not going to budge on. Neither was wrong, despite what the other thought, and the mature debater would smile and say 'well, this was a fun debate' and continue. It's only immature people who go screaming that the other is an idiot.
=Shakes head= I will feel free to test your opinion's Gailbraithe, as not all facts support liberal positions only. Socially, maybe, but I don't give a crap about social conservatives anyway. Fiscal conservatism has tons of good points and evidence backing it up. Here's a good, standard, conservative position for you: The free market is good, and overregulation is bad.

No, Chris, those arent insults (well, maybe pig-headed is a bit). Those are actually fairly accurate descriptions of your opinions.
You even admit it yourself in some of your posts. In that whole argument about ethics, you kept making it clear that you haven't studied ethics. That means you're uninformed. You've admitted you don't know anything about the study of ethics. That makes you ignorant. You don't care that you don't know anything, you reject the idea of reading anything that might make you informed, and you expect your opinion to be taken seriously despite your ignorance. All of that makes you, yes, pig-headed.
A good debater shouldn't need insults to back up his or her points. THeir points should stand on their own merit.
I don't use insults to back up my points. You made the claim that you were open-minded and reasonable, I am arguing that you are not.
Yes, I hold the opinion that agreeing to disagree is a completely valid solution because some disagreements come from such deep seated emotional viewpoints that they are irreconcilable, and both can be right at the same time.
No, that's not how it works. Rightness isn't determined by what you want to believe because of deep seated emotional viewpoints. Agreeing to disagree is just a thing cowards do when they can't admit they are clinging to emotional reasoning and are too weenie to cede the point. Agreeing to disagree is just a cheap way of never having to admit you're wrong, or that you don't know what you're talking about, etc.

You should start a new thread. And better phrase the position, because the position you've posted is almost entirely void of actual meaning. I mean, duh, of course over regulation is bad. No one contests that. What is contested is that the market is over regulated in its current state, that less regulation would result in greater wealth creation, and whether one can regulate a free market at all.

Are you saying that you aren't using emotional reasoning?
Because it would seem to me that it's the only reasoning that you use. It's why you can't just discuss something without immediately insulting someone and bringing up the Nazis.
I hate that I've been actually using my email on 8chan for the past 3 years I never realized it wasn't mandatory. pft.
Also, not wearing leather. I wish I could wear leather all day, all year, but I can't. I love all of my various biker jackets, and this heat is making it hard to enjoy them

Correct.

This would be more convincing if it weren't coming from someone who insists that having his beliefs accurately identified as the fascist nonsense it is is some kind of insult. It's not an insult when it's an accurate description of the pure BS you put stock in.
And if it seems like the only kind of reasoning I use, it's because you're so poor at critical thinking, so completely unprepared for debate, and so completely dishonest intellectually that you lie to yourself and delude yourself into thinking that a rational, articulate point made against your stupid, nonsensical garbage beliefs must be "emotional reasoning." But seriously, you almost certainly have no concept what emotional reasoning is, or how to distinguish it from objective reasoning. No offense, but intellectually you have the credibility of a rock.

So... since you're an expert on debate and all, I think you'd know what ad hominem means. Delicious, delicious irony. Here's an idea, why don't you make a "rational, articulate point" and I'll respond to it. Way to totally prove my point while trying to refute it. Nothing emotional about this post, huh?

I'd like to point out that there are plenty of liberals who hate gay people. California passed prop 8.

Eh, there's actually a lot of conservatives in CA. They just get voted down in most regular elections...Prop 8 passed thanks to a mass influence of support from Mormon groups that really mobilized the conservative group.
But yes, I agree. No need to derail this nice thread. Apologies to the OP, and everyone whose been pissed off cause of us derailing the thread.
I really hate people who do that....no respect for other readers.
I can;t stand it wne I call someone sir or ma'am, only to get a look of disgust back. They seriously look at me as if I sodomized a rabbit in front of their eyes. What blows me away is that women don't like that up here, they think its wierd and over-polite. Its funnier when an older women gives me this look, because she's not fooling anybody, she's passed her 30's by a good bit. Bless her heart .
Hey I hate gay people and I'm extremely liberal. I am not opposed to homosexuality other than I don't really want to partake of it. What does bug the gak out of me and makes me hate fags (not to be confused with 'homosexuals') is the annoying affected whiney voice, fasion obsession, and generally shallow outlook. Sorry fags, you aren't cool enough to count as 'homosexual' in my book. The only people who think you are so damn cool with your printzing prancing act are others like you, who really want to imagine you as a 15 year old in spandex. The rest of us are just annoyed by the lisping, the pants-judgementalism, and the complete obliviousness to anything non pop-oriented. Sorry but Abba and Madonna still suck, and tight pants never looked good on anyone with balls or a perpensity for facial hair.
I love the idea of homosexual rights
I hate the idea of annoying cliches who just want to preen.

And I'd like to point out that there is a difference between a liberal and a Democrat.
And I'd like to point out that not everyone in California is a liberal.
And I'd like to point out that almost all of the Democrats who voted for Prop 8 were conservative Democrats.
And I'd like to point out that many people who voted for Prop 8 were mislead about the consequences of gay marriage by a deliberate campaign of lies perpetrated by conservatives.
And I'd like to point out that, if not for conservatives, Prop 8 wouldn't even exist.
But mostly I'd like to point out that this is a perfect example of what I was talking about in my first post. Here we have a conservative, Brock, castigating "liberals" for opinions held by a small subset of conservative Democrats, all while ignoring that the conservative movement -- from base to leadership -- has relentlessly pursued an overt anti-day agenda for decades now.
But I think pointing those things out will have no effect, because conservatives never listen. They just make stupid, silly excuses for their behavior, like this nonsense you've posted here.

I'd like to point out that while the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the LDS church or Mormons, did "mobilize" its members in support of prop 8 and we did reach out to the community, and we did donate to http://www.protectmarriage.com/, there are approximatly only 800,000 members of the LDS church in California. California has a population of around 36,961,664 (Jul 2009). The population of LDS church members is around 5,000,000 in the United States, 11,000,000 worldwide. Prop 8 passed with a 52.24% vote. 7,001,084 voters, voted yes. Now, even if all 800,000 members of the LDS church were of voting age (which they aren't) 800,000 of 7,001,084 votes is 11.4%. It's likely that not even half of that number could vote. On top of that, not every member of the LDS church voted in favor of prop 8. So, it's more likely that 400,000 members of the LDS church voted and the majority probably did vote yes. So, around 5.5% of the votes.
What I'm trying to point out is, that yes the LDS church really did their part in supporting prop 8, but it wasn't solely because of their membership that prop 8 passed. 94.5% of the yes votes came from other demographics. 800,000 church members out of a population of 36,961,644 and a nationwide membershp of 5,000,000, it is just an overgeneralization that prop 8 passed mainly because of the LDS church. The LDS church is an easy target for prop 8 hate.

Well, once again, what should have been just a light hearted thread, one that perhaps might raise a wry chuckle has descended into the usual pointless attacks and settling of old scores.
How unusual.
DO BETTER.
Please..think of the children, think of all the PG rated films that orphans have missed out on.
is all the petty-stupid stuff that happens in large bureaucracies. Here are a few actual experiences I've had over the last month.
And others, of course. Not singling out Dakka or anything.
