A Thread To Piss Off Someone! Things You Hate!

[Welted 24/7]

3. All Jim Carrey movies (except "Lemony Snicket", though I still hated HIM)

Even The Truman Show?

In no particular order-

1. College students who can't put together a coherent sentence in writing. By the time you're 18/19/20/21, you really should know the difference between "your" and "you're", or "their/they're/there".

2. People who act like the world owes them something. This stems mostly from my customers over the summer. If they spoke to people outside of the store the way they do to us, they would be spit on at the very least.

3. People who don't know when to mind their own business. If you get one word answers or if I'm not even speaking to you, take a hint and buzz off.

4. "Extreme" commercials. SUV commercials in particular. The only people who they're aimed at are suburban yuppies whose idea of "off-road" is the service road of an expressway.

5. People who have no conception of consideration for other people. Nobody truly understands this one until they've lived in a dorm with neighbors who blast their music at 3 AM in the morning, and then when you ask if they could turn it down, YOU'RE the schmuck for ruining their fun.

[Ripostal Clerk]

1. George Dubya.

2. Religious Fundamentalist hatemongers.

3. Rich folks who buy all their provisions at health food stores, because they can afford to do so--that's admittedly pure jealousy on my part, but these people also often behave like spoiled children, so they're worthy of my contempt on several levels.

4. Bodybuilding, and everything associated with it--steroid use, isolation exercises, the quest for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, etc.

5. Flick attacks in foil, & "cutting" with the flat in saber.

6. People trying to multi-task with cellphones--driving, shopping, etc.

7. '80s Hair Metal.

8. Obesity, and the apathy regarding obesity that is all too often displayed by obese people.

9. Vegan denial of the reality that homo sapiens are, in fact, omnivores.

10. The Grateful Dead.

11. Phish.

12. The Dave Matthews Band.

13. Clueless suburban white kids trying to be gangstas.

14. Nitrates and nitrites in cold cuts.

15. Hydrogenated oils in everything.

16. Current teenage "punks" who wear Misfits t-shirts, but can't name a single Misfits song.

[Phoenix]

1. Radio Commercials.
-Ones that try to medicate me
- Have a catchy Jingly
- Are jus so annoying i want to kill my stereo

2. Homework ( I just want to sleep!!! )

3. I hate that I am so busy that I can't possibly get a job and stick with it. So I'm always broke

4. Not being able to drive

5. Not having enough time to work on my clothing designs T_T

[esquila]

1. People who refuse to accept the fact that they are not perfect.
2. Practices where I know I don't give 110%
3. Getting injured
4. Prejudicial or stereotypical generalizations
5. People who talk too much and refuse to listen

[Gav]

Only 5 things?

In no particular order:

1. People who revel in mediocrity.
2. Celebrity worship.
3. People who will believe anything; or to put it another way people who lack critical thought.
4. People who are too lazy [illiterate?] to use even basic grammar. I mean how difficult is it to put a capital letter at the start of a sentence? Go back to school people!
5. People who believe in absolutes. This includes moral absolutes, religous absolutes, racial absolutes and so on.

[Moonitic]

1. To build on Gav's #4, people who insist on using shortcuts to spell words that are already short: you, are, your...etc. Stop being so freaking LAZY, people!! Take a typing class. Learn to type properly. The speed will come.

2. People who use big words in the wrong context. You don't look smarter when you do that. You look like an idiot.

3. People who seem to think that we LIKE hearing their music from their stupid car stereos, especially at 3am when we're trying to sleep!

4. People who cry & demand that they should be treated a certain way, but when you ask that they do the same for you, they blow a fuse.

5. People who do nothing & get everything, while others work their hineys off & get squat.

I could go on & on...& on.

[Tazz]

I hate:

1) RAP!!! ANd RnB. And commercial hiphop. GGGGGGRRRRRRRRR.

2) When your guy friends start liking you and you dont feel the same way yet you dont wanna hurt their feelings or lose their friendship

3) Crap movies with maaaaaasive budgets yet its absolutely solely for money purposes... it makes no point and has no dept.

4) People who judge before they know anything about you. . . aaaaaaah!!!

5) When youre home alone at night and the dogs start barking like mad and its really windy and then suddenly the alarm goes off and... well i just hate it.

9. ticks me off as well.

16. I also call them LONN - Lack Of Nostalia Nostalgics. It even soundslike somtething that sort would say, "I mean, I am soo like LONN." I hate them and all they stand for. And as for it 'being' Punk/Metal/Industrial [whatever its called this week] ... argh.

[Moonitic]

I also hate all the remakes of all the old tv shows (& old movies) into new tv shows & movies. GET ORIGINAL, HOLLYWOOD! There is plenty of new, fresh talent out there. Give their ideas some merit instead of recycling!

I hear ya, bro.

The current crop of counterculture wannabes is... weak.

[Robert Smith]

1 - Lousy local drivers that think they can just fit in on the end of a stream of traffic on a left-turn filter even though the light has already changed and there are pedestrians (i.e., me) already part way across the road;

2 - Doctors who make appointments based on a time plan of 15 minutes per patient so that by noon they're three appointments behind - explains the use of the word "patient", huh?

3 - Reality TV in general, but specifically the totally unoriginal British spin-offs of British shows, the American emulations of British shows, and the execrable Canadian equivalents of either. Particularly decorating and other house related garbage. Include here also Fear Factor and its ilk (bring back Jeux Sans Frontiers!) and the supposedly humorous dubs of Japanese game shows into American smut;

4 - SUVs. Roll on higher gas prices, it's a small price to pay! Die, Ford! Die, GM! Take your Escalade and park it where the sun don't shine! Not only do they consume prodigiously, but they prevent us normal folks from seeing what's ahead, many of them drive like size confers invulnerability, and some day some anal sphincter is going to drive up behind me with his g*dd*mn super-actinic bone-piercing headlights shining straight in my rear window and ... I'll punch his lights out;

5 - Broccoli.

[Cipher]

1. Fat, overbearing, manipulative, control-freak types that complain about how no one ever appreciates them while the words "thank you" haven't ever come out of their mouths.... you know who you are....

2. People that arbitrarily hate SUV drivers regardless of the fact that there are those of us out there that have horses and trailers and need something that can pull them while also serving as a primary vehicle.

3. People that think it's your fault that it hurts when they fleche onto your outstretched foil or epee. If you can't even hit me while impaling yourself then you have no right to whine.

4. Children

5. People who base most of their lives around sex. Whether it be having it, convincing people that they have it, loudly voicing atypical opinions on sexual behavior or dressing/behaving provacatively. While none of those things are particularly heinous, neither are they acceptable as a basis of existence. Get laid and get a life.

5. Shamelessly obese people. When you are out at a restaurant and you are still eating 15 minutes after everyone else has finished... there is a freakin problem.

5. Eating loudly... are you freakin deaf? That's just disgusting.

5. Teachers that can't or won't teach.

5. People that do nothing other than school/work. No, watching TV and listening to music does not count as doing something. If you find that there are very few people that seek out your company, it's probably because you are incredibly boring.

5. People that try to convince you that their selfish, controlling actions are done with your best interest in mind.

5. Cat boxes.

5. Undisciplined pets.

5. Getting sick.

[BrianH]

1. grumpy people

[umbrella]

When a person says they hate absolute-ness and then rant completely and absolutely mediocroitly;

Saber fencers who want to win a lot, and shoot there mouths off without wearing the mandatory plexiglass helmit;

Skinny people with weak knees who dislike chubby fencers with lots of bounce in ThEir knees --- the best recovery is a few inches of padding;

a bus driver who refused to stop his vehicle to assist a paraplegic who was hit by a van on Keemoku street;

umbrella's that won't open in the rain and flop over the wrong way when the wind blows;

umbrella's that don't have secret weapons stored in them [almost like -Steed];

AND lastely; DEVELOPERS who build 15 hotels right next to a shoreline, weakening the entire coastline so that the first earthquake to comealong; even though seismologists have been warning them forever; creating a hugh TIDal wave which wrecks a subcontinent; which displaces 40 billion tons of water around the globe which IS ROUND -btw - and seeking it's own level; finds: new orleans, mexico and florida. MOVE NORTH!!!!

[swordwench]

1. Parents that don't discipline their children. Kind of hard to fault the kids themselves in *most* cases. Hello - who's the adult here?!? You're supposed to make the rules.

2. Software engineers that don't test their code before throwing it over the wall. Have you no pride in your work?

3. Minivans.

4. People who chew with their mouths open. Or slurp while drinking. It's like fingernails on a chalk board.

5. People who gab on their cellphones while driving. I hate you all! Jesus, pull over if you're going to discuss the details of your date last night with every one of your friends. Unless there is a life-threatening emergency and you are en route to the nearest medical center, hang up the bloody phone and pay attention to the road!

4. Friends who call me - then put me on hold when another call comes in. If you want talk to me, then talk to me and ignore the incoming call. If you want to talk to that other person, wait till you're done here then call him back. Don't waste my time. You're so incredibly rude. I refuse to use call waiting. I am being considerate of your feelings and time.

3. Bad breath.

2. Body odor that goes untreated. Yeah, everybody sweats. We sweat profusely while fencing. But if you're wandering around in public for days and not adhering to the unwritten rules of personal hygiene and consideration for others, then here's a wake-up call: nobody wants to smell you.

1. Bad directing in lower-level foil. Not everything is a parry-riposte, you moron, and maybe if you paid attention to what's happening on the strip instead of joking with your friends, you'd see that most of those do-overs are unnecessary. If you can't follow the action in a bout, you have no business being in that position.

2. Weak coffee. Which evidently I did *not* have this morning.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Having worked in retail my whole life (bookstores, music stores, & health food/vitamin stores), I have witnessed poor parenting skills time and again.

3. Bad breath.

Halitosis is wretched.

Scrape that friggin tongue. Floss. Brush. Eat a good diet (poor nutrition is sometimes the culprit). Chew gum.

I notice this especially at Renaissance Festivals. It's bad enough that I gotta sift thru stuff that has NOTHING to do with the Middle Ages or Renaissance when I attend these things--confused gals obsessed with contemporary Lesbian chic in Xena costumes; corpulent Highlander wannabes in modern-day kilts with wallhanger claymores strapped to their backs; goth rockers with false sulks on their faces, who apparently confused the Faire with the Limelight in NYC; etc.--but the one friggin' thing that too many people seem to get accurate is forgetting how to bathe!

[Inquartata]

I was all prepared to say

1. People who can't obey rules---5 things, people! Just 5!

But then I remembered that I am cavorting in the "Epeeists Only" thread.

[swordwench]

1. Disney Princesses and the horrible role models that they represent - and the fact that they made a princess out of each and every female ever to spend a few minutes in a film. (Hello, folks, Belle isn't a princess on her own! Neither was Shanti, for god's sake, she lives in a jungle village and fetches water! Mowgli's the star here!)

2. Did I mention... minivans?

3. Bananas

4. Dry fencing anybody who isn't familiar with electric fencing.

5. Online forms that clear every field when you hit the back button to reset an option.

Oh dear god that is horrible. You get slapped a lot, and for some reason people who don't fence electrically usually seem unable to grasp ROW.
