People who throw Emo around as an insult towards everything.
Console Wars.
Youtube comments.
Gambling advertisements.
Anyone unwilling to listen to good music because its old.
Boy racers.
Remakes of movies that obviously don't need a remake.
Heh, that was more fun than i was expecting.
For me, that one extends to books, films, TV programmes and games that are good, yet somewhat... "aged".

Pushy religious people and pushy atheists annoy me.
I'm an atheist myself and I think believing in imaginary men sitting on top of a cloud somewhere is a bit silly. However, I mostly keep this to myself, because I'm a silly person and think that anyone can believe or not believe in whatever they want aslong as they keep it to themselves.
Pushy religious people annoy me because they come and shove a bible in your face and start shouting "you're going to hell if you don't love this book and Jesus!" without caring if you want to hear it or not.
And pushy atheists annoy me because they go around yelling "all religious people are idiotic lunatics" and make the reasonable, not-in-your-face every day religious people hate all atheists rather than just the pushy asshole atheists.
*Religious people who are morally sure of themselves
What exactly does this mean?
The only interpretation I can get is a religious person who believes that they are generally being a moral person, but I can't see why that would tick you off so much.
The only interpretation I can get is a religious person who believes that they are generally being a moral person, but I can't see why that would tick you off so much.
Perhaps religious people who are sure they've got far better morals than you. The kind of people who keep saying that you'll go and burn in Hell while they're playing golf with God and potting plants in Heaven. Because those people get me.
Incidentally, did I do the capitalisation correctly?
People who do the most insipid shit for no other reason than to piss people off, because of some rationale that they're helping them to learn not to get annoyed by this insignificant shit.
Those instances where someone figures out some small thing that pushes your buttons, and then they proceed to see how aggravated they can make you and justify it by saying "it's just an insignificant thing" are so freakin' horrible.
Yeah. Anyway, what else bugs me... People who use different words to say the same thing as you, and then act like you have a disagreement. Those people who give the impression that they're deliberately misinterpreting you just because they want to feel superior by drawing you into an argument.
Solvent on
I don't know where he got the scorpions, or how he got them into my mattress.
Guh. Some people just don't like reading, dude. They need more stimulation than words on a page to be entertained.
Besides, it's not like you can't learn things from other media.
It's not that you can't learn things from other media. Rather, it's the fact that the way reading works the mind is very different from the way, say, watching a movie works the mind.
As a way of learning, reading may be replaceable. As a way of entertainment, it definitely is replaceable. As a way of developing one's imagination, however, it is not.
Also: big unnecessary 4WDs. Especially now that I've moved to a suburb with narrower streets, and yet a demographic that can more easily afford them. Dammit, sitting up a metre higher than me may make you feel safer. But it impaires everyone else's visibility, FFS.

This and fast/low/wanky sports cars. I like to watch them go mano-a-mano against speed humps. I also like to watch their owners grimace whenever they fill up their petrol tanks.
People who sacrifice clarity for the sake of brevity when they write.
Those are fairly annoying.
People who insert long words simply to sound fancier. They normally don't use the long words correctly either.
And yeah whiner's forum existed for about a week last time until the mods got fed up with it. Also I think so newly modded peeps screwed around with it which resulted in all the threads merging into one or something fucked up like that.
-Upstairs neighbors who are so self-important that they have to hook up a subwoofer to their TV and can't have it on at under 100 decibels.
-People who start bumping me with their shopping cart while I'm standing in line at the checkout (it's not like I can go anywhere.
-Paris Hilton. Seriously, WTF does everyone keep paying attention to her for?
-People I don't know who start talking to me about random shit like we've been best friends our whole lives (and I don't mean like chatting it up and meeting people; I mean out of the blue while waiting in line or something and someone wants to just jump into the middle of a deep political discussion like I know them). Maybe that's more weird/creepy than hating it, though.
-Paris Hilton. Seriously, WTF does everyone keep paying attention to her for?
This reminds me of a subject several thousand parsecs away from my heart: gossip magazines. Just die already. It's bad for the intelligence of the general populace.
Just the other day, in line at the checkout counter of the supermarket, a group of girls were giggling about someone I don't care about doing something I don't care about in some place I don't care about at some time I probably wasn't even awake at. Usually, I wouldn't care so much. This time, I suddenly realised that I know people like this, and I know for a fact that gossip magazines are their sole source of news.
Our species desperately needs to raise the bar. I propose daisy cutters as a solution.

The problem is that general news is degrading to the level of gossip magazines. Who hear about this kind of stuff on CNN and...ahem, Fox News...all the time, plus the broadcast news channels. It's sad, and incredibly irritating.

I know not of which you speak, for my mind is pure and I only watch quality news broadcasts.
Well, when I'm not looking for something to point and laugh at, anyway.
People who put themselves into one specific genre of music based on whatever "scene" they're in and then just sit on it, refusing to open themselves up to other genres.
Country music is one of the biggest benefactors and victims of this. While I enjoy a few country bands, that's not all I listen to. However, most people that I know of that listen to country listen to it exclusively, and most people who are open to all sorts of music for some reason shut themselves off from country entirely, just because "fuck country"

I have to admit that I'm a little guilty of this myself (listening to everything except country), but mostly it's because all country music sounds the same to me. Just as most hip-hop sounds the same to me. I prefer some variety within a genre itself.

-People who cut in front of older people in line at the bus stop.
I hate the fucking elderlies who cut in line. especially in a fifty-person bus-station-at-rush-hour queue. You already get the good seats, there's no rush!
But yeah, anyone who can find fifty things like this and take the time to write them down on a public webpage is, I'm sorry, a fucking idiot who needs to get a haircut and a real job.

No, its deliberately set up as a temporary spleen-venting forum. Its been run a few times now.
There were always really long threads about what a terrible person I was. They were awesome
When people do blatantly stupid things in traffic (turn from the center lane, run red lights, nearly hit pedestrians, inattentively cut people off, etc) show absolutely no remorse or even get angry when they get called out on it. Car full of dumbasses turns left from the center lane and causes two other cars to have to jam on their brakes. The cars that got cut off beep their horns. Driver of the car that made the turn flips them off. That sort of obnoxious asshattery absolutely infuriates me.
When people chatting and having conversations block entire aisles at the supermarket and they don't hear you (or pretend not to) no matter how loudly you say "Excuse me" - and then when they finally DO notice you they get annoyed at you for having interrupted their conversation.

I always got a kick out of those. It was especially funny that given the way D&D worked, there was comparatively little actual moderation to be done. Yet people still freaked out.
man, it always happens at my school. Seriously, move like, two fucking metres to the left and we'll be sweet, but they just stand right in the middle of the doorway and hold everyone up.
Also, real gangster people who are all 'hey youse fullas whatchu dooin 'night? PARTY? aaaaaight!'
And people and my school who yell at people instead of walking like, 10 metres to talk to them esp. when the conversation goes as above.

I hate the way old Chinese people speak. Like, a lot.

Now you're on the fucking list, punk.
"There's three things over there"? You're supposed to use "There are" for plural.
"could of", "should of", "would of", etc.? They don't exist in the English language!
*pants*
Also, it gets me when people say "who" instead of "whom" or the other way around. People seem to know when to use "whose" properly, but not "whom".
Now featuring on my list: those arrogant bastards who correct other people's English.
Especially if they are referring to Fountains of Wayne or Barenaked Ladies.
