NationStates Jolt Archive

Yeah, that's right. The NationStates forums could do with some more hate at the moment, so what small things really annoy you? Oh, and bitter, sarcastic comments are compulsory.

For me it's those strange people who turn the TV off when the adverts come on. *cringes*

But I'm sure there are many more infuriatingly petty things out there dying to be detested...

People who are excessively negative.

Me.

I've pissed myself a lot the last 2 weeks.

A long with a couple of people who I considered to be friends.

boo hoo, my life sucks.

.. that and old people in the supermarket with trollies... SO slow

Teenagers who have the idea that they've got a right to be uppity.

Just teenagers then?

How many 40 year old yobbies do you see on the streetcorners?

Job interviews

*shudders*

silly, annoying adds on telly

How many 40 year old yobbies do you see on the streetcorners?

None, I'd say the young yobs are usually in prison, dead or stuck inside rehab. I'm usually most pleased with the second option.

1)people who think all teenagers are criminals.
2)people who think all computer programmers are only concerned with stealing credit card numbers and breaking into government/private computers.
3) people who consistently refer to crackers as hackers.

None, I'd say the young yobs are usually in prison, dead or stuck inside rehab. I'm usually most pleased with the second option.

As a quick look at Parklane would show, OBVIOUSLY there's a bunch that is STILL in circulation.

Nothing pisses me off.

Well, there is the human race, but I don't really count that.

.... tha bank.. the bank REALLY piss me off when they cock up

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... i'm all out for now

1)people who think all teenagers are criminals.
SNIP.


Yup. That would be weird. Teenagers are only bad when they misbehave - which includes any form of insolent or subversive behaviour.

Overly religious folks piss me off.

Overly religious folks piss me off.

In What Way?

There's nothing wrong with following a faith.

I mean overly religious folks. I get along fine with normal religious folks. I'm complaining about the ones who go door to door disturbing people with the word of "god", and the ones who insist that their creation myth should be taught in science classes. Not to mention the ones who feel the need to turn their religious laws into real laws and who think their religion entitles them to commit violent acts.

which catogory do I fall into?

The category that can't spell.

Sorry. Nothing else I know about you.
But as far as I know you're not standing with a hood on at a streetcorner.

i hate people who are self-pitying all the time, especially myself.

Ah

But I suppose those 'overly' religious people think themselves just devout, and tend to be ruled by their religion, not the law, because to them religion IS law.

but I see your point

Perhaps it might be easier to list what doesn't piss me off at times;

me

Um, this thread? :p Oh, and pickled onions. They smell horrible

i also hate people who think that young people should be submissive and obedient to those older than them.

i also hate banks and post offices because they operate a public service but they close before most members of the public have an opportunity to use them.

People who speed through my town running red lights. A little kid was killed in my intersection yesterday morning.

Yeah, I'm Christian, but I really have no desire to go "Spread the word of God." I think it's kind of rude when these guys come door to door telling you to convert. People can believe what they want, you don't need to go tell them what they should believe.

Another thing that bothers me are these Chuck Norris jokes.

1. They stopped being funny a long time ago.
2. I've watched his stuff before the jokes came around and I love his movies, but now people saying these stupid jokes and they don't even watch his movies or get why they're funny.

Blonde teenage girls driving SUVs that their parents payed for while talking on their cell phones and not using turn signals.

The Bush administration, Fox news, etc.

Those shorts that sag down to your ankles.

There's probably more, but that's it for now.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs--
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like
that--
And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!
There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed--they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she waltzes, but would rather like to
try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist--
I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed!
And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and
likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be
missed!

What pisses me off? People who start threads asking what pisses me off. :D

"Better pissed off than pissed on"

As a friend's father is recorded to have said at a very important meeting, to a very important person ;)

The category that can't spell.


never have truer words been spocken.

But I'm sure there are many more infuriatingly petty things out there dying to be detested...

People who thinks malicious words are painful... They make me angry...

"Oh, don't say that. That might OFFEND someone..."
I find THAT offensive. We have a law here called the Freedom of Speech. Get used to it.

the stereotype "i'm a teenager, so I MUST be a thug"

"I'm complaining about the ones who go door to door disturbing people with the word of "god"" Ahh, yes... they are annoying.

"Not to mention the ones who feel the need to turn their religious laws into real laws and who think their religion entitles them to commit violent acts."]

They... are evil.

People who think that certain words are arbritarily "bad." Why is "fuck" worse than "anal sex?" Why is "shit" worse than "feces?"

Personally, whenever someone tells me to not swear in front of them, I break into a song and dance routine, singing:

"Shitty shitty fag fag, shitty shitty fag fag, buggery shite shite shite fuck fuck cock **** nipple."

Don't forget the old people who drive 2 hours per mile on the highway...

Ignorant, arrogant, selfish assholes. :)

I dearly hope that was a typo.

What irritates me? Loud, rude children who think they're better than you just because they're under 18, specifically my two brothers. Also, people who give bullshit excuses to try and spare your feelings instead of telling you what their problem is.

I forgot... the inventors of the FCAT... for those of you who don't know, it is a combo of the trickery of a Master in Electrician's test, an SAT, and inevitalby 6th grade material on dope.

I dearly hope that was a typo

Shitty adverts (i.e. Lenor, DFS, Rennie, and especially Fruit Pastels).
Signs that read: "8 items or less".

Ignorant, arrogant, selfish assholes. :)

Two out of three is no shame.....;)

Pedophiles who try to justify their sickening perversion on Internet forums

eww. I freaking hate that commercial...............

oh, today, I am pissed off at my boss, well technically she isn't my boss, but because I got in trouble at work a few weeks ago, she is having to "approve" all the stuff that I do, so any communication that comes from me, has to go through her and she is always late at approving it which makes me look bad.....

today I sent her (again) the copy for the newsletter that is supposed to be mailed out next week. I have to print it, copy it, mail it........and possibly before all that make any changes she deems neccesary, and the bitch won't check her stupid email...........................:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :mad:

Well, they don't piss me off, so to speak, but they irritate me.

1.) Weasels
2.) Ignorant, stubborn, or stupid people
3.) People who aren't tolerant, namely "Christian" fundamentalists

Feel-good threads really piss me off.

...fundamentalists

Haha... no... fundies, period! :)

Two out of three is no shame.....;)

It takes alot to anger me, for I am a cloud of happiness. But when I do, take cover, and expect massive hemoraging.

Things that can potentially piss me off (In large quantities only):

- Snipers in Online FPS
- Door-to-Door Salesmen/Telemarketers
- Blissfully ignorant people
- Ignorant people who are proud of it
- Stupid Questions (They've lied to you, they do exist)
- The following "celebrities":
* Fred Phelps
* Ashlee Simpson
* Jessica Simpson
* Paris Hilton
* George Bush
* Donald Rumsfeld
* Ayatollah Khomeni
* Jerry Falwell
* Benny Hinn
* Jack Chick
* Brittany Spears
* Ann Coulter
* Pat Robertson
* Michael Moore
* Hillary Clinton
* Jack Thompson
* Bill O'Reily
- Militant Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists, etc. etc.
- Bad Commercials
- Excessive Patriotism
- Big Business

so what small things really annoy you?
people eating loudly. chomping, slurping, munching, chewing with mouth open... even breathing heavily as soon as food goes in their mouth... why do people do that? :mad: :confused:

Stupid people. Self-proclaimed geniuses. People who "think [they're] depressed." Neo-conservatives. Substitute teachers. Mondays. Cat turds.

Oh, something else that annoys me to no end: patriotism. Sure, I have an affinity to where I was born and raised, but I don't go flying a Scottish flag around, screaming "KILL THEM" if someone burns it. I don't want to brutally pillage or rape nations that are "anti-Scottish" and I most certainly don't mind that some people make fun of my nation.

Actually, upon re-reading what I just wrote, I realised that it's specifically American patriots that annoy me. Morons.

Here's one thing that really pissed me off today. I was too pissed off to think about that earlier!

Last night, there was a fire in one of the central university buildings on campus. While the fire department was trying put it out, things turned out badly and one fireman died.

The fact that this man has not seen the light of day this morning, that pisses me off!

[Especially when you think that the building had been successfully evacuated and it was only a matter of "search and extinguish" burning papers, books, material crap.]

So there. Pissed off alright!

Annoying rude people.

right wingers
therefore, narrow mindedness and so forth

people who walk to slow (efficiency please!!!)

crap music

strife in general

People in queues (what an odd word). Maybe because waiting in line is a contact-sport where I come from.

People who pronounce Wagner wrong. It's VAG-ner, not Wagner! :headbang: Bleedin' morons. :mad:

Too many people to list, so let's just say "everyone" and let it go at that, shall we?

- Noisy infants, and the parents who don't shut them up.
- People who talk on the phone loudly while a conversation or TV show is going on directly around them.
- Self-important, pompous asshat bureaucrats who enforce the rules overaggressively just to prove that they're important and have power over you, and to provide meaning to their pointless lives.
- People who constantly mispronounce words.

Everyone's been on my list at one point or another.

Today I especially can't people who won't read my incredibly witty and literate postings and prostrate themselves before my brilliance.

And people who just have to talk on the phone while driving. I once saw someone driving a car with a crumpled driver's-side bumper, just yakking away, and I thought, Gee how did that happen?

I hate when my neighbors can be heard through the walls.
They seemed a bit racist the last time I heard them speak, and they were obviously misinformed about a few ethnicities.
Having to listen or view people who, apparently, are intoxicated, like what I mentioned above.
Finally, choking on popcorn sucks to an excrutiating point.

My dad doesn't turn it off, he mutes it!!! Which is well annoying! i agree!

Um, this thread? :p

Well, I did say bitterness was compulsory.

The Food Police! There's been reports on the local "news" about how cold watermelon isn't as nutritious as warm watermelon. Who the hell eats watermelon because it's nutritious?!?!? And sometimes, while we're on the subject, I just want a big, greasy medium-rare hamburger with fried onions and blue cheese and bacon, grease dripping down my arms, and fried potatoes, damn it. ;)

My dad doesn't turn it off, he mutes it!!! Which is well annoying! i agree!
Heh. My lady does that and then goes back to reading her magazine, leaving me to say, "It's back on, honey, it's on," 'cause she usually has the remote.

Those stupid sound tests or weather warning things that interrupt the climax of the show but cut off when the commercials come on. WTF?
And preps are annoying, too, I guess, when they get carried away with it.

Shit is an acronym for Ship High In Transport. Now who here is offended by acronyms, really?

I get pissed off at the near complete lack of subtlety upon these forums. It kills discussions as people will never progress, preferring to spin around in circles with strawmen, dodging, semantics, anything to concede a point to the other side of the argument.

If people would acknowledge that they and their ideas were not the end all, this would be a much better forum.

A challenge to everyone, when your ideas are met in confrontation, reduce them to agreement. Break them down until both sides are on like terms, and then build. At every impass, repeat the process until you reach your real point of contention, and then address that with an open mind.

This critical inspection may find serious flaws in your thinking, where a complete all-in-one defense of your idealogy may hide them even from yourself with the aforementioned misdirections.

No it isn't. "Ship High In Transport," please. "Shit" (and "shite") are nice, ancient English words, been around since the first Saxon jumped ashore in Kent, looked around, and said, "Where's the loo?" Who makes these bogus definitions up, anyway? I want to slap them.

What?! WikiPedia lies! No, no, it wouldn't! It couldn't! Please tell me it wouldn't! :(
That's in Wiki? I'm shocked and aghast. I looked in my Oxford English Dictionary, where the definition began with "Not now in decent usage," which I thought was quaint.

What?! WikiPedia lies! No, no, it wouldn't! It couldn't! Please tell me it wouldn't! :(
Whew. Nope, the Wiki article doesn't mention "ship high in transport."

I predict you'll always be pissed. :p

I just hate people in general, really. There are exceptions, but the rest of humanity can just go in the "I don't like" category.

It's really relatively easy...compared with, you know, anything.

I'm pissed off by the nearly 40% increase in electrical rates in California. My electric bill for July was $337.00. Last year it was only $243.00 for the same level of usage. We had a much hotter July this year than last and we still didn't run our A/C. Hot, uncomfortable and broke. Let's hear it for California Public Utilities.
