Tumblr Slacktivism.

Dealing with things made for right handed people. Your ergonomic scissors are bad and you should feel bad. Chalk boards also suck.

Also people who militantly love dogs and hate cats. It might just be my own experience, but I swear people that love cats are indifferent to dogs, but people who love dogs always seem to hate cats. Why?

Edit: I will add people that can't write legibly, with poor cursive being the worst. Take the extra 5 seconds to write your note/letter so the other person can figure out what the heck you were saying.

Youtube adverts are annoying. Especially when you aren't given the option to "Skip Ad in 5 seconds".

feth you, Youtube Advert inventor! feth you with a 28k modem.

More or less. Though what set me off today was a post that got very militantly "rawr this is so horrible to women and contributes to such an evil culture" to a boy giving a girl a foul ball he caught or something. Or he did a little slight of hand with another baseball or something.

It was just ....really?

So your left handed? What about computer equipment. Don't you have to get specially made Keyboard/Mouse?


Back OT. People who talk to me when I'm annoyed

Nope.. but he's right... Things like scissors or some firearms or whathaveyou that have molded grips specifically designed to fit and be used in the right hand are fething annoying.

Rip em out.....

The phrase "yeah baby". Who is this baby that is being mentioned, is the person referring to me as a baby? Why is baby needed after exclaiming yeah? Is yeah the babys' name?

I really fething hate it. It's just nonsensical drivel that people say because they think they are expected to. I'll be back in this thread in 12 months when "Good Job " has annoyed me enough...at least that one makes sense.

When people type 'loose' when they mean 'lose.' When people spell 'homebrewed' as 'homebrew.' When people use 'verse' as a verb. All of these make me want to chew my fingers off.

The Preacher comics.

Tyranids.

Reality TV. MTV. BET.

The Wayans Brothers. Tyler Perry.

Sandals. Dudes in skinny jeans.

When people call an SUV a truck.

When people call me 'ma'am' on the phone.

Superman.

Anime.

Dr. Who fans. (Not the show, just the fans.) Sandman fans. Joss Whedon fans. Sherlock fans.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Having to do something over that I just did.

When I walk by someone and I'm clearly disgusted by them and I can tell they think it's because I'm a bigot (like, they're flamboyantly gay or something) but in reality it's because they're unnaceptably disgusting. (Like eating with their mouth wide open.)

Pet shelters that won't let you choose your own vet.

Limited time offers when it comes to wargaming supplies/minis.

When people drive tractors on the road. Not only is it inconsiderate, it's dangerous and usually illegal.

When people just stand and jabber in the middle of the sidewalk.

When people call Obama the Antichrist. Get a grip.

When people call George Bush a Nazi. Get a grip.

Politics in general.

The news.

Smart phones. Seriously? Why did we start backsliding? We got our phones so thin and tiny, and now we're making them bigger than they ever were? What the hell.

The Nintendo Wii. The X-Box One. The PS-whatever. All handheld game systems. Exclusive video game releases. Online video games.

Extended family.

People I don't have sexual intercourse with or that I didn't father touching me.

People I don't feel comfortable sleeping in the same room with coming to my house uninvited.

People parking on my lawn. (I live RIGHT next door to a high school, happens all the time.)

People who hate cats.

Racist, sexist, or obnoxious bumper stickers.

The bumper stickers that show Calvin peeing on something. Not only are they stupid, but they are illegally bootlegged. Every time I see one I have to fight the urge to tear it to shreds.

Church bulletin signs with offensive, standoffish, or ludicrous slogans.

When people take the default position that the police are evil.

When police in television, books, or films are portrayed as evil, lazy, or incompetent simply because they are police officers. (Joss Whedon...)

JRR Tolkien. JK Rowling.



I think I'm tapped.

Ooh! When vegetarians or vegans in books, movies, or films are portrayed as being crazy for no other reason that that they are vegetarians/vegans.

Ted Nugent.

Jesse Jackson.

I completely agree with that first one. I have to ask, what is the reasoning for the second one?

They don't follow traffic laws, clog up the flow of traffic, don't wear proper safety equipment, comport themselves in a dangerous manner, and then act like it's the motorist's fault when they get run over. Bicyclists don't annoy me, they drive me freaking insane.

hmmm mine are,
anti-vaxxers
anti-global warming people.
people pointing at stuff at work ( I work in a deli and when they say they want turkey and I ask which kind they promptly point, at the glass, that I cant see threw)
my former sister-in-law
pretty much anyone who disagrees with mainstream science using natural news as their source.

OK... As a cyclist, I also hate those cyclists who don't follow the proper etiquette on the road.


I definitely agree with many of those on your list... But, didnt you get the memo?? Bush is the anti-christ, and Obama is the Devil himself

The thing that really grinds my gears with the racist, sexist or overly offensive bumper stickers thing is, while I was in the army, it is very clear and posted around company areas that these sorts of things, even on vehicles is not OK. I mean, yeah, we're supposed to contact the MPs or IG or whoever to have them contact that person to have the sticker removed, but usually it was just too much bother.


Speaking of Jesse Jackson, one of the other of those idiots that I really love to hate, is "Rev." Al Sharpton... How in the feth is that clown still a "reverend" ??

One of my law teachers back in high school was classmates with Al in high school. You know how he became a Reverend? He submitted $0.25 with a cut-out from a magazine advertising the sale of the title Reverend. He bragged about it too to my teacher. Shortly after that, Al dropped out of high school. My teachers hated him ever since. Also, Al used to scheme to sell things to fellow students a lot.

I don't know much about Al Sharpton but why is he disliked so much?

Female player characters walking around in plate bikinis, thongs etc.

It makes me thirst for blood.

A laundry list of reasons. Too many to name. PM me if you're really that interested.

But the most irritating Preacher-related annoyance is when someone on a forum tells me how much they like me using the Saint of Killers as my avatar.

well they your good I cant stand the ones who seem to only know the word "this" all while getting mad at me

People who stick bases on the wrong way around, with the short side at the front.

Because he has the magic ability to turn ANY issue into a race issue and take it from a small local issue, to full blown, national coverage. He's generally a sleezy dirtbag who has no business doing what he does.

Yeah, because every fething cyclist is the same, just like Americans and non-white people (aka terrorists, amiright?).

There are a certain type who stubbornly choose to ride on the road even when there is cycle path like 3 feet away. It does give the impression that they are being annoying on purpose.

I also hate bicyclists. One recently hit my cousins car and tried to claim it was his fault(Saying he was trying to run a red light, when you can turn right) and then when my cousin said he was barely moving(He just took his foot off th pedal) and my cousins care has a 600$ dent from the kids thick head and a broken mirror. o
Also, I hate people who post things on facebook about activism as if they are doing something

We had two encounters with cyclists on the way home last night. My wife was ahead of me in her car, she stopped at a stop sign waiting for traffic to clear up so she could drive on when two cyclists pulled up, went in front of her and blocked her from taking off. A short time later these two cyclists tied to merge from the bike lane into my lane as I was passing by with no warning. I had to swerve to avoid them.

Because racists in the UK like to equate blacy people with monkies

Then whoever says they hate byciclists should say that they hate that particular group - I find assuming all byciclists are like that very offensive, just like I'm sure a lot of people will find it offensive if I'd say I hate Americans because they're fat and racist (which isn't true, either).

I'm confused, are you talking about bikes or motorcycles?

I'd say bicyclists refers to people riding bikes
