Meanwhile; I'm not racist, but... I really like purple.
EDIT: Speaking of 'racist'. I absolutely hate it when people use it as a noun. "He is a racist". HE IS NOT A RACIST, IT IS AN ADJECTIVE, HE IS RACIST. JEEZ. I don't care if the dictionaries say it's both, because it's not! It's race-ist. The "ist" turning "race" into an adjective. It just sounds plain wrong.
EDIT2: Inquisitorial Storm Troopers turn races into adjectives!
EDIT3: I love women's magazines. At least, the covers. Mostly it is what you said (lolol), other times it's "I am fat :'c". Which I find hilarious. Sadly, White Dwarf is basically that quality now.

The 'my boyfriend cheated on me with my sister's cat' line made me laugh my butt off. And I'm at work. My coworker gave me a raised eyebrow for it. kudos my friend.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

It was a noun before it was an adjective, if anything using Racist as an adjective is incorrect. You dont talk about someone being 'Artist', you say artistic, a masochist is masochistic, a sadist is sadistic and a realist is Realistc etc.
Anyways.....
That moment of utter horror when one makes a post with a basic grammatical error. I am not the most pedantic person, in fact i technically have 'learning difficulties' but i try my best.

But an artist is someone who does art; racist people aren't people who make races. Okay, fair enough. "Racist"; noun for "one who makes races". But you don't say "an artist" person. If "racist" were a noun in that sense, they'd be racistic. But that's not even a word. "My friend is so racistic, he really hates bright orange people." makes no sense, but "my friend is really artistic, he loves to draw bright orange people" does. Similiarly, "My friend is so masochistic. He loves to be whipped by bright orange people."
"DeviantART is full of artism."
"FurAffinity is full of masoism. AND GOD MY EYESISM"
It can't be a noun and an adjective. Then you could be a racist racist, which is silly. Now, racism is a noun. "Look at all that racism. It's just covering my house! Does anyone know how to get it off? God!" You can have a "racist policy"; "The UN has decided today that bright orange people should all be ridiculed in public by law". If racist were a noun, then that'd mean 'policy' would have to be the adjective. A... policist racism? Gwah!
The disparity here, I believe, is that the US-English definition means both UK-racism and UK-racialism. As in, the adjective and noun. I find this completely idiotic. It just sounds wrong, looks wrong, feels wrong! It's racist, that's what it is! Yeah, racist against the word, 'racist'! It's especially racist to 'racialism', because it gets ignored!

Yes, it can be and is both a noun and an adjective. There are plenty of words that function as more than one part of speech. It also doesn't matter if it was one or the other first, language changes constantly.

All of these, esp. that one.
A new one, that I reminded myself of today, as we had some good(ish) weather for a change. People who wear woolly beanie hats in the summer. Seriously WTF? What goes through someone's head when deciding to step out the door in one of those when its hot outside? "Oh look it's 25c outside, I know I'll put a woolly hat on my head"

Oh, I hate hot weather, too. Not only is it hot, but as soon as the sun comes out for about two seconds, suddenly you have endless hordes of overweight people wearing little to no clothing. Especially the ones with tight spandex shorts for jogging.
- Disclaimers and petty terms and conditions such as "subject to availability" (which basically means "if we don't have it in stock then you can't buy it", because some people need that fact drilled into their dense skulls). Or "serving suggestion" which has to be plastered over food packaging incase someone opens their pizza, notices that it's not *exactly* as it looks on the box and thinks "I've been misled, I deserve compensation for my suffering" - I work in a supermarket, and I cannot stand the customers who load all their anger and hatred that they've suffered onto me simply because we've sold out of a particular type of cigarette or something like that. While working on that particular kiosk selling lottery tickets and tobacco I once put up with a guy having a 10 minute rant at me about the layout of the carpark, yet I'm forced to smile through it like I'm some sort of lower life-form just because I'm in a uniform ¬¬ - People who criticise others due to the type of internet browser they use. While it may seem important to some, I'm quite happy using Internet Explorer, so piss off and gossip about Chrome or Firefox or whatever dreary nonsense to someone who gives a rat's arse about it. - People who confuse "your" and "you're" *apocalyptic, cataclysmic rageface* That is probably my biggest ever pet peeve - That you don't get free toys in your cereal anymore. Kids do not care one bit that their cereal contains "100% whole grain and one of your 4 daily portions of nonsense", kids only care about the cheap tacky toy that's easy to choke on. - When your neatly-handwritten essay gets all smudged with ink because you're left-handed. - Fish - When the post van stops outside your house and you're expecting something, but the guy goes next door instead. - Those bloody kids who think they're being individual and chic at college by wearing a suit or having a briefcase or a freaking trillby hat with a feather or playing card in the brim. - Tea which is too sweet: Tea which is not sweet enough can easily be fixed, whereas if it's already too sweet, you're forced to suffer through the teeth-gritting horror. - Tea from anywhere outside of my own house, as it always tastes awful. - Football - People who have nothing to do in life except post on Facebook random, slightly-interesting photos with the caption "like this photo if you...." and then comment "subscribe to me to watch your friend requests blow up" as if they're a cornerstone of the modern internet age by having mindless drones of people follow you online. - The obscenely high standards that you have to get to, to pass a bloody driving test. - The rude bastards who sit on the inside seat on a train, put their bag on the window-side seat, so it looks like a huge inconvenience to ask for a seat. - How putting a picture of a marajuana leaf on something somehow boosts your image to people? - When you try to style your hair exactly the same way as you did it yesterday, yet it all goes wrong and you have to wash it out and start over again.
From reading that you'd probably learn a lot about my personality, I've certainly learned that there's a fairly large proportion of the population that I hate by default.

+1 to football. Biggest waste of time, space and money ever, ridculous salaries given to the most undeserving people I can imagine, not to mention the stupid amount of hype placed behind it because we've not won the world cup for years. If there is one thing I hate above all others, it's football.

I wonder... was it deliberate that you left the "i" uncapitalized?
But back to the point... I hate it when that one homeless guy breaks into my apartment's laundry room and pees in the boiler closet.

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

Indeed, racists are probably the most likely people to actually be racist.

Meh your wrong there-Guinea pigs are nothing like cows. If you threaten a cow then itll just flatten you and have done with it were as a Guinea pig will just run away squealing into a corner or under something that can easily be shifted and end up cornering itself all the while squealing patheticaly as though your going to have a sudden change of heart and let it live. All this does is give its position away to other predators and annoy me thus making me even less charitable to the soon to be roast vermin.
I hate those adverts you get at the begining of youtube videos. If im listening to lacuna Coil or Marilyn Manson then im hardly going to want to hear about some rappers upcoming tour or that another pop singer has just released another disk load of warbly drivel thats only selling because shes practicaly tits out on the front.

one exceptionally annoying thing (At least on dakka) is when people say +6 instead of 6+. The two have completely different meaning, the former is a bonus of a value of 6 to an action and the latter is needing a 6 or more.
