I just hate driving. People seriously are so stupid while driving it amazes me every single second I'm on the road. Literally. I don't even understand how these people are even LEGALLY able to drive.

1. Correcting other people's pronunciation.
2. Kids at my school who talk and argue over big-boy stuff when none of them have any idea what they're talking about. (And yes, I do reserve my right to judge them as ignorant.)

People who smoke at bus stops.
People who turn into lanes when pedestrians have the right of way. Where are you going that's so important you have to be there 3 seconds earlier?
Pedestrians who cross when the cars have the right of way. Same reasoning.
The drinking culture of New Zealand.
The cafe culture of Wellington, New Zealand.
People are intolerant of other people's beliefs.
Cruelty to animals.
Racists.
People who judge me by the length of my hair and the scruffiness of my beard.
Metalheads.
Justin Bieber.
DRM.
Being poor.
The tenth Doctor dying.

- Emo kids, get over your yourself deal with it and dont act like you have the worst life in the world, ive had bad stuff worse than 90% of these kids and it pisses me off that they constintly cry over nothing.
- Screamo, Why would you listen to this? i mean i like country but, if a person screams in your ear you punch in your face not listen to them, if someone sings in your ear you usually listen. (I guess i can listen to country because I can accept accents in music and look at the lyrics not too much one the instruments)
- [censored]ty women, (im a man so i cant say anything) it is there life but i dont want to see you slap your butt thats riddled with STD's.
- People who judge to early.
And thats my list :goodjob:

You want to know what grinds my gears? IE6

I created a website for my friend recently and getting it display properly on IE6 took up 80% of the time I spent writing the code. :banghead:

Don't bother and just redirect people with IE6's user-agent string to a different page telling them their browser isn't supported and that it poses a security risk* and they should download and install a modern browser




*I don't care if you absolutely love Internet Explorer, IE6 is an outdated, big, ugly security hole that you should plug. If you are using IE, keep it up to date.

Probably the worst are coming in this list for me:


Forgetting something while telling a story. Indescribably annoying. Soul-rending is about as close as I can get...

Being to decent of a person to just tell off someone if there on my nerves. Even if their my friend. I would like to just shed all the baggage and just get it off my chest.

Incredible selfishness. The pinnacle of ass-hattery.

Gloating on something you're clearly not good at.

The rapid descent the Rap genre of music seems to be making into faked vocals and terrible and offensive lyrics. At least I could listen to some of the older ones, but Lil Wayne? And Pop, or hip hop. All of it is fake now, even though Pop and hip hop has always been faker, now everything is auto-tuned, and synthesized...

Might get hate for this: People who read Twilight, and refuse to read Harry Potter. For the many obvious, obvious reasons.

People who ignore others! Even if its just an innocuous discussion, it is extremely rude to just ignore/talk over/ or slowly cut the tide of conversation. I would literally immolate them if I had the power to do so.

People who are too physical with people they don't know. R...a...p...e get the F*** away from me!

Girls and bathrooms.

Hallway tumors. People in a tiny high school hallway who somehow have time in the 3 minute class change to gather for a "discussion" around a lock and just totally disrupt foot traffic.


I have too many pet peeves...

People that do not fill their damn ice trays (though ice machines have made this less of a pet peeve).
The demagoguery of some media personalities.
An irrational rationale.
Stepping in someone else's spill while wearing socks.
The state of California.
Armchair economists.
If I order a chili-dog, I don't want sloppy joe (or barbecue or tavern, the name depends on your region) meat, I want CHILI meat.
A refrigerator without beer or a liquor cabinet with cheap vodka.
The Righteous.





Edit: I forgot an e.

The horrendous misuse of homonyms prevalent in today's society.

Extremely uncreative names. I've thought of a theory for this. There are names which are normal and common, like Bill, Sarah, etc. There are names that are common, but abnormal (McKenzie, Kayleigh, -aden names, etc.), then there are names that are uncommon, but normal (Lars, Trent), and names that are uncommon and abnormal (Apple, etc.). Names that fall into the first, second, and fourth categories annoy me to no end. Are people just that uncreative nowadays?

Engagement photos.

I can't stand people who think they're photographers just because they have a camera. No, having a camera and knowing how to apply Photoshop filters does NOT entitle you to start an amateur photography business.

Most photography in general.

Themed weddings, overly expensive weddings, obviously inexpensive weddings.

Most hairstyles that girls have nowadays.

Cats.

Old ladies in Georgia who always believe they have right of way.

Snobby rich people.

Teenagers in general.

Other peoples' kids in general.

Whennnnn peopleeeee repeattttttt lettersssss likeeeeee thisssssss.

People of an race who think they're somehow making a difference by being that race. No one cares.

Gamer girls. Again, no one cares.

Self-proclaimed geeks and nerds. The editor for EGM is one of them.

The iPad.

pormography.

When people are bigots and don't accept the fact that I don't drink or party.

When people reverse my first and last names when it's obvious that my name wouldn't go that way. Also, when people pronounce or spell someone's name wrong continually.

Being forced to do something.

Overly dramatic people on Facebook who join groups or become fans of overly dramatic groups like "Treat your girl right or someone else will." I mean, come on; just quit going out with losers and you won't have to mope around all day.

Being awoken.

When girls take pictures with kissy/distorted faces. Stop trying to cover up the fact that you're as ugly as sin and take a normal picture.

When people don't understand that I'm joking most of the time. And also when people don't understand I'm half-serious sometimes.

And yeah. Not to get on FIREDAMAGE's case or anything. I just see so many Ph.D. students making the same mistake and you'd think they'd pick it up somewhere along the way.

Little kids bringing up age in an already incredibly dumb argument online.
Pricks in my gym class who get yelled at at least 10 times a day and never get in trouble for it while if I take one step out of line I get melted by the teachers laser-vision.
Extremely slow and dim-witted people (awkwardly laughing 10 seconds after the punchline just to say something like "I don't get it"?) :banghead:
Misinformation.
People who actively seek out followers of another religion and then denounce it because theirs is 'superior'.
The insomnia that only seems to effect me on school nights.
People on YouTube that say stuff like " OMG LEIK THIS GUN WAS IN CALL OF DOOTY THESE PEOPLE STOL FROM INFINITY WARD !!!11111!!!!"
Idiots.
Jackasses who feel that it's their job to go around and be a dike to people.
Did I mention idiots?
Someone repeating something you JUST said, except they get about 90% of the information wrong.

That's just the [censored] I had to deal with today.

Honestly, this kind of thread does. A new one is made once a month and they never turn out well. I believe the last one we had sent IHaveAFatDog to the brink of leaving the forum.

Anyway, as some of you are probably aware of, conspiracy theories and the people who believe them grind my gears. I could go into detail but that'd just turn into a rant.

People who subscribe to the "They Changed It, Now it svcks" trope

People who think all anime is childish

I'm sure I'll think of more...

When I answer a question, and they continuously ask me the same question. (No I do not want headphones. They mess with my hearing and deaden perception.)

@Antibody- I agree, conspiracy theories annoy me as well as the other things you mentioned.
