Man I Hate It When...

edited August 2008 in Debate and/or Discourse
For the last few weeks I've decided to keep a list of things that bother or annoy me as I notice them, I have the first fifty posted here and the list is still going strong (over 175)

So I was just wondering, what are some of your guys' pet peeves, the things in your life or in the world that really rub your rhubarb the wrong way?

    My mother did this, and ruined a lot of her knives... and she couldn't figure out why. :|

    My wife likes to get a soda, and drink it slowly. Eventually it goes flat. Then she grabs another.

    She forgets the step where she gets rid of the first can.

    -People who train combat sports and try to show off (see my post in the MMA thread).

    -People who cut in front of older people in line at the bus stop.

    -These goddamned terrorists in front end loaders and now whoever the fuck is messing w/ Turkey.

    I don't really hate them, actually.

    I just hate the "health club" culture that's all too prevalent wherever you go, with gyms full of machines and "certified" trainers making up training schedules that use those machines. Such a huge waste of time. And then people wonder why they aren't making any progress and eventually lose motivation.

    I guess you could say that I'm raging against the machine.

    I hate it when people ask me the same question repeatedly after I've given them the answer and they have most obviously heard it. I don't chew them out or anything but... man it fucking irritates me.

    I hate the phone ringing and interrupting me in the middle of stuff. Actually, I hate the phone in general. E-mail, IM or face to face plz. Also, fuck telemarketers. I don't want your fucking credit card or cell phone. Piss off.

    I hate it when I book time off work, remind my boss repeatedly about it and yet she still books me to work that day, then gets all pissy when I remind her "hey, I booked that off." Fuck off, it's not my fault you suck at scheduling and haven't hired any more people.

    Save for the trainer part, that's all I ever do at the gym. What exactly do you think the point of a gym is, exactly?

    It's funny, I know this girl who uses that kind of slang ALL THE TIME. I went and visited her house (we're both staying in Portland over the summer) and every other word from her mouth was lolspeak. She's kind of an insecure hipster who gets angry a lot and calls me a lazy bastard, so it was also a very confusing experience. I chalked it up to her just spending too much time by herself over the summer.

    I mean, I use a whole lot of slang too, but jeeze man, it was intense.

    At least it was a girl using it. Guys doing that shit? GTFO! Portland is cool i go there sometimes.

    I also hate when i get a wrong number and i tell them "wrong number" and they say is this 555-56...I always blow up and say LOOK, I SAID YOU GOT THE WRONG NUMBER! I know who i am, damn.

    Also i HATE Big passenger Trucks. They block my view when i get stuck behind them and 80%+ of the people driving them are assholes.

    man, they just want to know if they punched in the wrong number or if they wrote down the wrong number.

    because if it's the latter, you just guaranteed that they'll call a second time.

    Someone never watched Seinfeld. I've been getting calls for two years on my phone for some dude named "Rich". I actually find it kind of amusing especially since I started asking people like if Rich is a good guy or a drug dealer or whatever.

    I intensely dislike many things.

    Let me think for a second.

    We have:

    *Smug, wishy-washy agnostics
    *Very religious people who are holier than thou and self-righteous
    *Ignorant, xenophobic conservatives
    *Farm lobbyists
    *Neo-Cons
    *Libertarians
    *Objectivists
    *People who are ignorant and proud of it
    *Vapid tweens who think their prom is the most important thing in the universe
    *Snobby rich people
    *Insular bubble-denizens
    *Girls who say "I hate feminists"
    *Anyone who says "I hate feminists"
    *Fake corporate shills
    *People who pay attention to me for the wrong reasons. See next item
    *Strip clubs, for the above reason
    *People who "don't read." Like, seriously? You never read a fucking book? Come on now. It's not that hard.
    *People who make everything black and white
    *Religious people who are morally sure of themselves
    *Nationalists
    *Jingoistic patriots
    *People who stop talking and smile and nod while you talk, but they're only thinking of the next thing they're going to say
    *People who use you as means to an end, rather than ends
    *People who don't even know who Kant is
    *People who don't know IN WHAT FUCKING DECADE WORLD WAR II MOSTLY HAPPENED. (I'm not making that one up)
    *People who decry the chinese for eating dog as they chomp down on a bacon burger, fucking hypocrites. Cute and fluffy =/= only reason to care about a fucking creature

    There's more. I'll come back to this.
