    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.

    People who misuse their own language.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    -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.

    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.

    You know what really grinds my gears?

    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.

    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.
