Ignorant Americans who give a bad name for everyone else in America. Also I just hate people who generalize a group of people by just one encounter with one or even worse judge a group by someone who is not even considered part of that group.

I think the problem is, when the rest of the world finds a moron, they lock them away and make sure they can't harm anybody. When the Americans find a moron, they put them on TV and they sort of end up as your national spokesman. :unsure:

People who hate something even though they have never personally experienced said thing

I dont see an issue, people can easily juge things without experiencing them.

Its the media in general, who look more at the bad than good, and overhype how bad things are.
I hate the media.

Wyatt I dont see why you cant hate, I cant go into politics/religion but look at certain places in the world, you dont have to live there to know you are going to hate it, or say I told you you were going to do ballet or something, ou would probablly not like and even hate it before trying. I just dont see anything wrong with it, you dont need to experience something to know how it makes you feel.

"Funsize" chocolate bars. They're smaller than normal ones - how are they more fun?! *shakes fist*

Whenever I'm given one on halloween (never too old to trick or treat) I have half a mind to say "FUN SIZE?!?! The only fun I'll have with this thing is smearing it on your door, and probably not even then!"

Jimmy Fallon mentioned that in his sarcastic "thank you notes" segment. They should be called "disappointment sized"

Junk and unsolicted mail.
I had a good time shredding some and stuffing it into assorted postage pre paid junk mail envelopes, to be mailed back.
Let's see how they like it.

I knew that it would not be possible for me to be the only one who has done this.

The news.

I understand that Michael Jacksons death was " a big deal." But there was a damn near revolution event going on in Iran. And because MJ died, he got all the press coverage. Valuable press coverage that could have forced other nations to assist in Irans riddance of its basically totalitarian government. It could have stabilized a huge part of the middle east.

MJ killed Iranian independence. Or rather, the piece of crap that we call the "media."

Maybe Iranian independence killed MJ. He is the one that is dead, after all.

Yeah politics isnt allowed. But the media does ruin things. It was [censored] up, MJs death wasnt important. I honestly didnt give a damn, and I got it he was dead, no need to have a month saying it.

This was on an old game forum I was a member of (Fable-2.com -- sadly, it doesn't exist now) and it was really popular as a place to come and share what parts of your real life really tick you off.

As for me, there's one guy in a few of my classes who's really perpetuating one of my biggest pet peeves -- namely, an idiot trying to look smart. Every time a teacher says anything, he shares how much more he knows about the subject (usually something he just read from a textbook), and his sentences always start with "actually". Example:
Teacher: "King Louis tried to escape from France by dressing as a woman, but someone recognized him and had him taken to the Bastille. That was pretty amazing, since they didn't have TV's or photos back then."
Guy: "Actually, that person had seen Louis's face on a coin."
Teacher: "Yeah, I know. And never use the word "actually" in a sentence, it sounds awful."

If only more teachers reacted that way to him, he'd shut up.

Dude you were on the Fable-2.com forums! Me too! It svcks that it got closed down

When people say "volumptuous" instead of "voluptuous". Just now there was a discussion on the radio and two people kept saying it and it really annoyed me lol.
Also when people say "nitch" instead of "niche". I know that's just down to pronunciation and there's no definitively right way of saying it, but "nitch" really grinds my gears for some reason

CTDs. It's like i was having a nice conversation with a person, and then out of the blue he punches me in the face and walks away. Still, i always catch up to him and start the conversation again :hehe:

1. People who make more noise pollution when they chew than a jackhammer.

+1.

Saying "then" instead of "than"

People in general, barking dogs, and my English Comp professor. And Lindsay Lohan and all her press coverage.

:P

Well, not everyone has a good taste in guns! Ak-74u is soooo over used I hate it soo much. But I like the Ak-47, I also hate the famas overused. I use Skorpion Grip and Crossbow
I also use Ak-47 Extended Mags and Dual Makarovs.

Stupid, clueless drivers.

They really, really piss me off. Not only are they endangering their own lives, but everyone else on the [censored] road around them.

I mostly use ACR with either Thermal or ACOG Scope.

But let's not turn this into a CoD Discussion. Shall we?
