okay, so my next door neighbor really annoys me, she says things like "I would just die if I couldn't eat wheat" (which I can't eat btw) I mean really she would die? My kids and I make the (morbid) joke every time someone says that to us "well, let me find a knife and slit my wrists for you then" ......

oh, and today she says "I can't believe you guys read for fun, how boring your life must be" okay, first I can't understand someone who doesn't like to read.... second, why is there the assumption that my life is so boring that I have to read? I make time to read, because I enjoy it, just like she makes time to drink beer and have burping contests with her husband's brothers.

:rolleyes:

oh, and then today the girls and I were playing a math game and she says "you know girls, when you get older you will realize that girls who play those games don't get married" like I am not married?! okay, sure I married a guy who likes math games, but still....

who annoys you? in general (not NSG, just the general general )......or specifically (not anyone around here though....no flaming or something)

Firstly: Take a (large) book over to your neighbors house. Strap her down. Force her to read the book, from front to back. She will learn to enjoy reading. She will learn reading is fun.

Secondly: Take a book of math problems over to your neighbors house. Strap her down. Force her to figure out the problems, front to back. She will learn to enjoy math puzzles. She will learn math problems are fun.

Thirdly: Oh, just about everyone at my school.

You're making that up to entertain us, Smunkee, come on, no one's that ... you are making it up, right? Please?

I find people who think it's okay to go through the intersection if the light turns red while you're within ten feet of it very annoying, not to mention dangerous.

People who talk with the cashiers at grocery stores annoy me.

Just shut the fuck up and move along already, you douches!

So, she doesn't like reading or maths. I bet she has a really great career.

who annoys you? in general
Virtually everyone but annoyance increases with stupidity in general.

You're making that up to entertain us, Smunkee, come on, no one's that ... you are making it up, right? Please?

nope, she is like that. She graduated highschool and went to community college to be "a typing person" and sits at home all day transcribing medical records, when she can get work that is, otherwise she shows up over here to annoy me because she is "bored" so I offered to loan her a book.

Religious types, people who hate sex, prudes, the list goes on.

Ahh i hate people who if you happen to bump into them slightly they want to jump down your throat and kick your ass.

Really hardcore religious people. People who think just because you listen to rock your a violent person.

So, she doesn't like reading or maths. I bet she has a really great career.

Ask her one day. :p

And psychic turn signal drivers annoy the hell outta me, along with people who pass me while I drive 70 on the expressway.

oh, they annoy me too. I got kicked out of school and banned from prom because I lost my temper with one of those.....I went to prom anyway, what were they going to do? put me in detention?

People who annoy me?

Everyone who goes to the middle school I just graduated from back in June. And the idiot in my PE class (the one that said he was MTAE in my dream) because he is an arrogant redneck who keeps calling me retarded whenever I don't hit the ball (in volleyball) EVERY DAMN TIME. :mad:

next time you miss the ball and he calls you retarded be like "or...am I really smart?" and when he looks at you with that look they get when they don't understand roll your eyes and say "you are hopeless" :p

Ask her one day. :p

Pass you like you're standing still, yeah, I love them, too. It's a documented fact, though, that everyone you ask will say he or she is an above-average driver. Think about that.

People who litter piss me off, too. Come on, you can't wait a couple minutes to find a trash can? Or keep the crap in the car until you get home?

Yep. He's MTAE. :p

Seriously, that sucks :(

Here, have a fluffle :) :fluffle:

I wish that I had the time or money to enjoy reading :( . Im very busy with college, and the local library has a dismal supply. What I wouldnt give to live next to a B&N.

My step-mother annoys me. Not like the "oh evil step-mom!" thing, but just generally as a person, she annoys me. She has a high whiny voice with a New York accent and says "Oh my Gawwwd!"

*note*

while writing this, an angry client came in and started swearing at me. I amend my above statement to angry swearing clients.

There's quite a few at the moment.. and I'm beginning to express my feelings towards them.

There's this one kid who seems to think I care about him.. I want to tell him that he reminds me of his father; pure jackass low life.

The other is a kid who thinks I talk about him, so he gets cocky with me.. meh.. low life. *nods*

And then there's a girl who is loud and annoying, I let it go, until yesterday, when she made the worst mistake ever (wont go into detail, but it involved her calling the cops on my friend). Now I piss her off at every chance I get. The little bitch can handle what she's gotten herself into. I love it.


...

*takes a deep breath*

Yeah, I'd like to smack them all with a brick..

Ask this one if he's still wetting the bed. And make sure you put it exactly that way, "Are you still wetting the bed?" There's no unembarrassing answer.

that woman sounds like i might poke her in the eye, with a poo stick. though, in her defence, burping contests are funny. people who annoy me are generally those who kiss arse. like they'll do extra reading before seminars and then spout off about it to impress the lecturer*. people who walk too slowly in groups taking up the whole pavement annoy me too, only when i'm already stressed though. generally people who take up too much space and time without actually contributing anything annoy me.

*having said that, i am also irritated by anti-intellectualism. but not as much though, because i find that there are more intellectuals that look down on tradesmen and the like than there are tradesmen who look down on academics.

The unintellectual populace. I cannot stand people who refuse to question everything, who refuse to learn from their mistakes, who refuse to learn from other's expertise or who blindly accept things fed to them. If I had my way, stupidity would be a capital crime. Smunkee, your neighbour would probably be facing the firing squad.

PS, the Firefox 2.0 spellcheck thing is pissing me off, because it keeps claiming I'm spelling "neighbour" wrongly even though it's set to British English.

There's this kid at the local high school who, from what I've heard, would perfectly qualify as MTAE. Now, I could list his characteristics, but...

okay, I just got off the phone with my MIL (mother in law) and she says

"I had this great ideal today"

:mad:

that annoys me too.

Senator Hillary Clinton and the "Hillary '08" crowd, the Southern Baptist Convention, Bill O'Reily, Al-Queda, Paul Krugman, lawyers, Hollywood, Anne Coulter, the intelligent design crowd, San Francisco, Karl Rove, doctors, politicians, evangelists, "wiggers", K-Fed, myself, children *starts foaming in the mouth and goes into epileptic seizure*

People who talk on their cellphones in the line of supermarkets, fast food places, etc. Very irriating. Oh, and my flatmate and his girlfriend. Again very annoying.

*snip*

just wanted to say, you have the best new name on NS for quite a while. i snorted :D

Yeah, people who you know are native speakers but can't speak the language.

Looks like somebody's neighbour needs a tire iron across the face.

hey I screw up enough on my own, but at least my husband is kind enough to correct me, I am scared to explain to her that

idea/=/ideal and gold/=/goal

in fact it annoys me even more that she is an English teacher.

well, I am already shoving mice through her dryer vent.

*shrugs*, even the most intelligent can get tongue tied now and again. So, unless it's a regular mannerism of the person in question, I wouldn't automatically be annoyed.

Ask her if she still wets the bed. :p

People who don't say "thank you" after you hold the door open for them behind you.

People who talk very loudly on their cellular in public. "Oh girl, I got the fungus off my feet last nigh just in time for my date. Damn straight girl!" SHUT UP!!!! OMG :mad:

it seems almost constant, but my husband claims that I am so annoyed by it that I focus on it.......

It's like it annoys him when I misuse "seen" and "saw" but nobody ever told me the rule, so I am guessing half of the time as to which is right.

my list is to long to post it here

Seen needs to be attached to a verb. Saw doesn't. For example, I have seen, I had seen, she was seen versus I saw or she saw.

That said, I know this rule and still mess up sometimes.

Aw, come on, tell us, huh, come on, just one, okay? okay? huh? okay?

No problem, though I do question why your husband would get annoyed at your misuse (meaning, presumably, that he knows the rule) yet hasn't taken the time to excuse himself of that annoyance in future by explaining it.

most people annoy me. their fake sympathy really gets to me.

Mostly mirrors of myself, who reflect my inadequacies. I don't like those people.

Rats and moths?

No problem, though I do question why your husband would get annoyed at your misuse (meaning, presumably, that he knows the rule) yet hasn't taken the time to excuse himself of that annoyance in future by explaining it.

he doesn't know the rules so much as he knows when it "sounds wrong" like when I misuse well and good (which he did provide me with the rule to) and when I misuse whom and who (which also he provided the rule)

I will have to tell him of the seen/saw rule so that he will know it.

I hate people who go round making everyone feel guilty. Primarily preachy religious people but also others like vegan animal rights activists and people trying to make me give their money to them for some charitable purpose. I realise this probably makes me seem a bad person, but quite frankly, dear, I dont give a damn!

Aw, come on, tell us, huh, come on, just one, okay? okay? huh? okay?

ok you just made the list ;)

ok the two teenagers that live here with me
i turn around and i find them fighting over dum things

its them i say who making me go nuts

you are my Wednesday uber-hero. I can totally remember that.

thanks!

Not wanting to piss you off or anything, but you're a native speaker, aren't you? You surely must have heard about past tenses before? Most irregular verbs belong to the most frequently used verbs...

You might like my language. Just one past tense and the present, no fancy second or third past or future :-)
(Though there's the usual conditional form and a conjunctive for good measure)

Stupid people, and aggressive people.

Most native speakers intuitively apply grammar rules, which is why people can not know a rule yet recognise when it sounds wrong. Non-native speakers or those who study the language intently will consciously form phrases with reference to a list of mental grammar rules; native speakers who are not intently schooled in grammar won't.

Nazis and emos.

Anyone who ties to limit my freedoms.

Yeah, that's why I was surprised why she would ask for a rule. Most native speakers would unconsciously say things right, though...

Though that reminds me of that guy who tried to explain to an Englishman when to use what declination in German (ein schönes Auto vs. das schöne Auto). I can do it easily, but I don't have the slightest clue how it works.

1) Lecturers for a class called US-American Literature who will answer "Oh.. that's an interesting question- I will look it up and tell you next time" when asked in which time period to place the Enlightenment (which had been our topic or the day). This situation is not helped by him mispronouncing the word "interpret" (of all words!).

2) Flatmates who do a whole breakfast buffet with friends and music (aggravated by terrible taste in music, too) at 8 in the morning when I had only finally found my way to bed precisely 4 hours before that.

3) People who say "Oh, I could never refrain from washing my hair for two years!" after I told them that was about the time span I've had dreads by now. Well, that was topped by the same person asking "And what do you do against the lice, do you use some kind of spray?"

People who take up the whole pavement and walk as slowly as possible, people who use long words to make themselves sound more intelligent, people who waste time in lectures asking stupid questions ("Will my work be improved if I use a 17" widescreen laptop?").

Oh and people at the checkout who make the same joke everytime an item doesn't scan "Does that mean I get it for free? Hahaha". It wasn't funny the first time I heard it, it's certainly not funny the 14000th time.

people who are oblivious to their surroundings when they drive (mostly old people withthe dark glasses because they macular degenration or whatever) - this comes in many forms, like when they are in the "fast lane" (freeway or regular street) and pacing the car next to them (both usually going at ultra slow speeds) and there is a huge line of cars piled up behind this person waiting for them to get a clue and move so that people can get by.

I suspect that there are also just jerkasses that enjoy causing so much frustration as well as people who think they need to be traffic regulators and decide what speed everyone should drive by making sure to keep them all behind you.

My clients sometimes annoy me with really stupid computer issues that they could have figured out themselves had they taken a minute and searched google for the error or whatnot. (Most of the problems seem so intuitive on what the fix is I have to at least give them a bit of a hard time for needing my help to resolve the issue)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, people who think that it's quite alright to have Christian values pushed onto all of the United States citizens (or at least all citizens within their state) because the majority of US Americans are Christian, but when pressed on if Muslims became the majority over time and they started to try to put Sharia law into effect, they wouldnt stand for it yet they dont see the hypocrisy of it! WHy? Because the Bible is the only true word of God of course. DUH!

People who use phrases without understanding what they mean or say, so they misuse them. Examples:

"I could care less"
You couldn't care less. If you could care less, you haven't really told me anything about how much you care.

"I need to get untracked"
You need to get on track. Untracked doesn't mean anything.

"He's just towing the party line"
Toe. You toe the party line; you don't tow it. It's not a rope; it's a line.

3) People who say "Oh, I could never refrain from washing my hair for two years!" after I told them that was about the time span I've had dreads by now. Well, that was topped by the same person asking "And what do you do against the lice, do you use some kind of spray?"

so what do you do about them? :p

i know a guy who's girlfriend hated his dreads cuz they smelled really bad but he wouldn't get rid of them. so when he wasn't paying attention once she cut one off half way up, and showed him the lice crawling around in it. he bics his head regularly now, mostly to piss his girlfriend off though, cuz she doesn't like bald men either.

so what do you do about them? :p

Ewww. That's something I never understood. Dreads are a bitch to take care of; just why is it always those people who fai at personal hygiene anyway who decide to get them? I once knew a young man whose dreads started to smell so abysmal after a while that he tried cutting them to about half length and discovered they had gotten all mouldy inside.

I'd like to announce that I wash mine regularly and throroughly, use care products on my scalp on a daily basis, do not lead a lifestyle that facilitates infestation of any body part with any pest, and cut my dreads regularly to keep them the length they are now and use that opportunity to check for anything disgusting on the inside.


DidI mention I get annoyed at people who beieve that dreads are 'the easiest hairstyle ever', and/or that you are not able to take care of them? Oh, and the people who will not believe that no, I do not take drugs? (Seriously now, I don't even drink, for hell's sake!)

People who talk with the cashiers at grocery stores annoy me.

Just shut the fuck up and move along already, you douches!

Gawd I had one of them yesterday ... two like 18 year olds gabbing for like 5 fucking minuets and you are too far up in the line to make it practical to change lanes.

Ooh got another one. I dunno if other people do this, or if it's just my boyfriend.

"3am in the morning". AM is morning ffs. It really annoys me.

I hate white people.

okay, so my next door neighbor really annoys me, she says things like "I would just die if I couldn't eat wheat" (which I can't eat btw) I mean really she would die? My kids and I make the (morbid) joke every time someone says that to us "well, let me find a knife and slit my wrists for you then" ......

oh, and today she says "I can't believe you guys read for fun, how boring your life must be" okay, first I can't understand someone who doesn't like to read.... second, why is there the assumption that my life is so boring that I have to read? I make time to read, because I enjoy it, just like she makes time to drink beer and have burping contests with her husband's brothers.

:rolleyes:

oh, and then today the girls and I were playing a math game and she says "you know girls, when you get older you will realize that girls who play those games don't get married" like I am not married?! okay, sure I married a guy who likes math games, but still....

who annoys you? in general (not NSG, just the general general )......or specifically (not anyone around here though....no flaming or something)
... one day, you should ask her how did she achive such complete and total disconnection of mouth and brain.

people who annoy me...

people who ask for help and advice then discount what you suggest without even trying it or even thinging it over.

Personally, I think these situations fall within the how important is it category. People can only annoy you if you empower them. It all depends on the choices that you make. :D

I hate white people.

heres one type of person that on my list

heres one type of person that on my list

I'm sorry, I meant specifically Jews. Just jews.

People who talk with the cashiers at grocery stores annoy me.

Just shut the fuck up and move along already, you douches!

I always put on my biggest crazy smile and say, ":D I hope you have a scrumdiddlie-umptious day!!!!:D " because I usually think they need it.

you now as people who start ww3

Yea, sugar tits, the Jews start ALL the wars.

Black people. *leaves*




Actually, proud-to-be-ghetto black people. You know, like rednecks, but black. I hate those guys.

Yea, sugar tits, the Jews start ALL the wars.

now you are at two spots on the list

*rans out fast*

Tie little bells on the mice? (besure to clean the bells and ribbons, then use latex gloves while tying them on.)

When people accuse me of having a boring hobby I usually respond, "it's not so much that it's boring but I enjoy it anyway so much as it is that I'm not boring so I enjoy things." If they're my friends, they dismiss it as friendly ribbing. If they're not, well odds are I don't want to talk to them anymore anyway.

As for the math thing? Girls who like games enjoyed by nerdy guys have to beat them off with a stick. Sure, they're nerdy guys, but they make the best husbands anyway. Never make you a football widow.

When I'm in a small aisle in a grocery store and someone is trying to scoot by with a cart and I move over a little bit, and they say "No it's OK dear, you don't have to move," all because I'm in a wheelchair.

I guess they prefer I don't move and they're stuck there forever, then? God I hate people sometimes. WE ARE NOT WIMPS. We're just cripples. That's all! We can move!!!

Yea, sugar tits, the Jews start ALL the wars.

so you also saw that Episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent Huh?

so you also saw that Episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent Huh?

What's that?

What's that?You... you can't possibly be joking? :eek:

The folks who yell at our marching band just because they have nothing better to do than watch a lousy high school football game.

People who drive 55 in the God damn passing lane...and refuse to move!!!

I didn't ever have a grammar teacher that got past "nouns, verbs, and adverbs" due to the public school system I grew up going to trying to 'dumb down' for the lowest level, most of my family is uneducated, and it's not much better outside of that, something like 70% of the highschool graduates around here are 'functionally illiterate' I am learning the actual rules so that I can teach them to my kids, but it turns out that I didn't realize how dumb I really did sound because the people around me are consistently dumber sounding. <---- uber-long run-on sentence......and bad grammar

People who give me a condescending laugh and smile when I'm arguing with them like they are smarter and know so much more than me when in fact alot of evidence contradicts their point.

Also drivers on the freeway who like to use their bigger cars to try and push me off my lane instead of just speeding up or slowing down to change lanes.

Bi-cyclists and people who don't indicate.

Heh, heh. Yeah, suuuure. :) Sorry.
Anyone with annoying and high-pitched laughs.

People who laugh and talk at the same time. GOD DAMNIT!!!! :headbang:

*shrugs*, even the most intelligent can get tongue tied now and again. So, unless it's a regular mannerism of the person in question, I wouldn't automatically be annoyed.My ex-roomies cannot speak English to save their lives. Perhaps because they grew up in Kansas. I keep trying to explain to them that "drunken" is not a verb. They say stuff like "I already drunken all the milk." "I've boughten me some new shoes." Aargh!

I forgot one: people who get 'it's' and 'its' confused. It's really, really annoying, since so many people seem to do it. :mad:

What about all these people on-line who spell "no one" as "noone?":headbang:

Guilty of doing both sometimes, when I don't read over my post.

Oh, and to the OP; http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20061111

Guilty of doing both sometimes, when I don't read over my post.
It's different doing it occasionally as a typo than it is doing it all the time.

People who don't get that I deal with difficult things by joking.

Case in point, the other night I got off the phone with my grandma and grandpa. Both have alzheimers, grandma is worse. I had the same 5 minute conversation 10 times before I just had to give up because I was going to lose it.
I hang up and say "Well, they may have alzheimers, but atleast they don't have alzheimers". Everyone just looks at me. I walk out saying "Hey, if you can't laugh, screw you". So one of them follows me, and I'm making jokes constantly, like how they get to meet new people every day and how I could use this to get money out of them...stupid things. My friend yells at me (I can't stand being yelled at). So I said "Be glad I can laugh, because when I can't anymore, someone is going to have to pick up the pieces and I promise, it will not be pretty".

People who don't get that I will never drop a class. My workload is heavy. Very heavy. And yes, I complain, and hate that I don't get free time. But I do it. Every time. I read as much for every class as I physically can. I write every paper. I go to every lecture. I don't complain to hear "drop the class"...that is like saying "you can't do it". Although, maybe I shouldn't be too mad...it gives me another reason to kick the classes ass.

As everyone I have ever met aren't here right now, I will mention myself on their behalf.

Does this post make sense?

oh, and today she says "I can't believe you guys read for fun, how boring your life must be"

How boring her life must be. Whether I hold people like her in pity or contempt depends on my mood. Right now it's contempt. I couldn't stand your neighbor either, people like that are a waste of flesh, air and water.

Londonners annoys me. I went out shopping down Oxford St one afternoon and when i got home i was covered in bruises from people walking into me and not one single person apologised, even thugh i apologised to them (despite the fact it was them that shoved past me) and everyone rushes around so much, and i don't know if anyone here has ever tried to use a pelican crossing in London but I found that lorry drivers stop right across them when they're at the traffic lights so you can't see if the green man is flashing and you can't even cross without walking out into the middle of a busy crossroads, what the hell is the point?! it's not gonna make the lights go green any quicker!

People who try to talk while yawning. :headbang:

London annoys me...though it's not actually a person, so I guess that's a bit redundant in this thread.

People who act superior to me because they know something I don't.
People who are oh, so proud of themselves for giving blood - I do it because I see it as a *duty* not because I want to feel good about myself. (I'm only bringing this up because I got a lot of that yesterday).
People who won't leave me alone when I want some privacy.
Sales assistants when I'm out shopping - every 5 seconds a new one asks if you need any sodding help.
Strangers who talk to me - it could be the cashier at the supermarket, it could be the other guy in the lift (elevator) with me. I just don't want to have a meaningless conversation with someone I don't know.
People who read the newspaper over my shoulder on the bus, then talk loudly about the stories with the person sitting next to them.
People who read over my shoulder - and advise me on the crossword! :mad:

Heh, here's one of mine:

People who clearly don't know what the word "feminist" means, and yet go off on how they hate "feminists." That annoys the crap out of me.

Oh oh oh! Those people who come to your door and ask if you're "saved." They're at the top of my list.

I'm going to get a big sign for my front yard. "No, I'm not saved. No, I don't want to be."

Get stuffed, by your definition of feminism, every person who isn't a complete bigot is a feminist. It doesn't even have anything to do with women.

Lol, silly TBD.

Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. :)

Get stuffed,

Out of curiosity, what is "stuffed" slang for where you live?

Because, where I live, it's slang for "get laid." In which case, thank you for your kind wishes, and I shall do so as soon as my boyfriend gets home tonight. :D


by your definition of feminism, every person who isn't a complete bigot is a feminist. It doesn't even have anything to do with women.
Feminism is believe in the social and political equality of the sexes. "Female" is one of the sexes, therefore feminism has to do with women as much as it has with any of the other sexes.

But yes, I do believe that all anti-feminists are bigots. It's kind of like how I believe all racists are bigots. Because that's what the definitions of the words mean, you see.

People who annoy me:
- people who I know in real life to be dumbasses who have pretentious msn names
- people who feel the need to talk to all of their friends while walking very slowlg in a hallway, blocking the entire thing off
- middle or upper class white men who bitch about how disadvantaged they are because women and assorted racial groups aren't being discriminated against as much anymore
- homophobes

Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. :)

Well, if no one else saw it, it's all good. :D

:fluffle:

Well, if no one else saw it, it's all good. :D

:fluffle:

Yup. Everyone else will go on as thinking of you as a regular genius, as usual ;) :fluffle:

Not a lot actualy.

Umm except people that join the quw you are not in and then try to push in front of you, when your que starts moving faster.
Not to worry about them though I just step on the heels.

Hehe and I'm a long haired bearded bloke, so when they shoot me the look, it is normally they who look away first and mumble an apology.

With me it would have to be people who take a lift to go 2 floors, you've got legs use them!

And groups of people who take up the pavement by walking side by side and them weave across it preventing you form getting past.

Finally one oh my flat mates has THE most annoying laugh in the world, he sounds like a little girl, t just drives me up the wall.

Pat Robertson :headbang: , I wish I could kill him.

Oh. Vegetarians who attempt to take a moral high ground. Don't like meat? Fine. Tell me you don't like meat? I'll cut you, bitch.

Oh boy! I love opening a Pandora's Box!

So... who annoys me?

Homophobes, proponants of 'traditional marriage'
People who oppose abortion for religious reasons

That's all I can think of now...

Out of curiosity, what is "stuffed" slang for where you live? Good question. We use it as a milder way of saying 'get fucked', though it isn't nearly as aggressive, it can range from playful to dismissive. As far as the actual word meaning goes, it probably would be the same as getting screwed (get stuffed with a hard erect object made of meat), though it could be related to "Oh, now I'm stuffed", which in turn could ..
I think you are right.

Because, where I live, it's slang for "get laid." In which case, thank you for your kind wishes, and I shall do so as soon as my boyfriend gets home tonight. :D Good fun, enjoy. Unfortunately my fiancee and I cannot share the same pleasure again until she emmigrates from Malaysia. :( Man I hate the government *shakes fist at johnny*

Feminism is believe in the social and political equality of the sexes. "Female" is one of the sexes, therefore feminism has to do with women as much as it has with any of the other sexes. Ah, but why specify? If it is just about equality of the genders/sexes, then why not call it sexims (ok, I see that one has been take), or Genderism, or equalism, or feminomasculism. To include specifically and exclusively feminism, implicitly implies a devotion to that specific gender of reference. Just as if I called myself a masculist (which I am not, btw). I agree that feminism doesn't explicitly have to be about women, and that you can easily explain away the taxonomic queries raised by the word, however I am pointing out that the word is implicitly inappropriate for it's definition, and will invariably lead to confusion.

But yes, I do believe that all anti-feminists are bigots. It's kind of like how I believe all racists are bigots. Because that's what the definitions of the words mean, you see. Not only anti-feminists, but also afeminists, if you go by your definition (as that would imply that they do not support the equality of the genders). However, one could describe themselves as anti-feminist and simply mean that they are opposed to the advancement of womens rights, which may or may not indicate that they are a bigot, largely depending upon where they live.

Also consider extremist radical feminists certainly wouldn't describe themselves as devotees to gender equality, yet they still use the term. I truly believe that feminists should take a new name for a new battle. Not only has the feminism name been sullied in recent decades by hyperfeminazi-demon-witches, but it truly is no longer applicable to what the movement hopes to achieve. I imagine you would recieve a considerably larger level of widespread support if you were to do so. I for one, would definitely consider myself to be a subscriber to the philosophy, and actively decry anyone who wasn't. However, as it stands, it is rather awkward. I hold a passionate disdain (oxymoron?) for 'feminists' (my/society/radical feminist's defintion), whilst at the same time also am a 'feminist' (your/NSG'/moderate feminist's definition).

Ugh, it is so messy.

Co-worker, she has a habit of injecting herself into every conversation she hears, and since she does almost nothing while working here she listens in to most of them. She also absolutely has to have the last word all the time, if it wasn't so aggravating it'd be amusing to fuck with her. Thirdly whilst standing there interrupting your conversation with her drivel she'll stand there with her hands in her pockets jingling her change.

Argh.

okay, so my next door neighbor really annoys me, she says things like "I would just die if I couldn't eat wheat" (which I can't eat btw) I mean really she would die?

oh, and today she says "I can't believe you guys read for fun, how boring your life must be" okay, first I can't understand someone who doesn't like to read.... second, why is there the assumption that my life is so boring that I have to read? I make time to read, because I enjoy it, just like she makes time to drink beer and have burping contests with her husband's brothers.

:rolleyes:

oh, and then today the girls and I were playing a math game and she says "you know girls, when you get older you will realize that girls who play those games don't get married" like I am not married?! okay, sure I married a guy who likes math games, but still....


tell her to fuck off.
maybe you want to still civil with your neighbours though so alternatively ask her to join in the math game, she's married right? so she does not have to worry about "never marrying". Get your kids to join in, as they probably have better math skills than her, she'll hopefully feel like an ass and won't come around to much.


who annoys you? in general (not NSG, just the general general )......or specifically (not anyone around here though....no flaming or something)

Teenagers.
Peasants (not country folk, just people that act/are peasants)
Mass tourists (cheap, idiotic group who think everything is quaint which seems to mean "wow its different, we're better)

Firstly, I happen to think you're being a tad excessive, however, if this occurs perpetually, you have my apologies.

In truth, people who annoy me either work to hard, take themselves too seriously, don't take themselves seriously enough, can't take a joke, are too jocular, are macho pricks, or are cheerleader-esque "popular girls"....

Yep, all of the above!

Ah, so you think the TTC is also overpriced?! :D

pretty much everybody, ever, annoys me.
especially drivers.

and..... most people.




*shrugs*

Is this your same neighbor who was setting off fireworks during the wildfire?

people who are part of some kind of minority group who blame anything bad that anyone does or says on the fact they are part of a minority group. I just went to the shop and on my way back i saw a group of teenage lads walking towards me so i crossed over because it's nightime and when you're a girl of my age that can be a little bit frightening, these blokes happened to be Asian and started shouting at me that i'm racist for not walking on the same side of the street as them

Did they consider that perhaps, just maybe, you were going somewhere that was on the other side of the street and it was easier to cross where you were?

that is just stupid.

I personally will always walk on the other side of the street if there is a large group of people who creep me out walking behind me...it's just smarter and safer, considering I live in the 16th worst place to live in the US.
