The little things that drive you crazy.

[Pete]

I'd keep this short... but it's so much more fun not to.

1. Emo Kids.
-Dare I say it, but I agree completely with Froggie on this one. It's one thing to have bipolar disorder or other mental illnesses, and wind up cutting yourself. It happens, alright. It's another thing to lock yourself in your mom's basement and wear eyeblack and your little sister's jeans and cry about how the world is so unfair because your mom got you the 20gig xbox and not the 60.

2. Liars/ truth embellishers.
I don't see the need to make shit up. I'm perfectly content with my life and the things I've done. I hate it when people have to go and make up stories in order to sound interesting or cool. To me, there's nothing worse than dealing with someone who constantly lies about their experiences and even about little things. It eventually catches up with you, and you look like an asshole. There's nothing wrong in telling the truth.

3. People who live in a country for years and don't bother to learn the native language.
This one bothers me a lot. If you've lived here for years, you should have picked up enough language from tv alone to be able to converse. I don't want to have to find an interpreter to have a conversation if I'm shopping or doing something that requires me to talk to other people. Plus, it's common courtesy. If I were to travel abroad for a prolonged period of time, I would do all I could to learn the language, just so I don't become the 'asshole tourist.'

4. Overly sensitive people.
This one goes out to everyone who cries wolf and runs to the ACLU every time a joke is made. "Oh no, he used the word 'gay' in a context not referring to homosexuals, but in a derogatory way! My rights have been violated!" Bull. Shit. Or anybody who claims that the Black Plague is a racist term. This doesn't even have to extend so far as to race or gender. It can also deal with people who shit a brick every time someone says Japanimation and not anime. Deal with it; there are bigger problems out there.

5. Holier than thou hybrid owners
Ok, wonderful, you're doing your part to save the world. Good for you. You don't need to call me an asshole because I drive a '91 Olds, that uses gas. For people who can afford these cars, good for you. I can't afford anything other than what I'm driving, sorry. It doesn't make me an asshole; I recycle and use those good light bulbs and all that shit. I just happen to use an older car. Deal with it. Oh and good luck in a head-on collision Mr. Smart Car owner.

6. Shitty drivers
How did you pass the test? Shenequa at the DMV is the closest thing to a Nazi as you'll get, and yet you still wind up having a license? You've been driving for 3 miles with your left blinker on and you've been nudging into my lane the whole time. And no, you can't cross the double yellows to turn into that stores parking lot. DIE!

7. Pretentious people
Ok, you're smart, we get. No, ok, we know, you're REALLY smart, and like to show it off and use big words to prove it. Truth of the matter is that you'd be a lot better liked if you weren't such a smartass. I don't like being talked to like I'm an imbecile. I may come from a blue collar background, but I'm not dumb by any means.

Oh rest assured, there will be a part 2

Lol, that totally reminded me of the South park episode when Stan's gf broke up with him.

As for things that irritate me, liars are one of them and people with no consideration of other people's time. I can make a more organized list but I gotta sleep now ^__^

People who can't read that should know by now.
I struggled to keep from cutting my ears off during high school with this one. Honestly, maybe it's just a midwestern region thing, but when you get called on to read in front of your classmates, can you not studder over the words that are larger then one syllable please? I fail to understand how you can get through school, much less life alone, when it takes you over 5 minutes to read a single paragraph in a book. What kind of teachers pass you to the next grade with your lack of being able to read good dur hur.

Attention Whores
Oh. My. Lord. If I could get through a week without some random girl being all like "Look at my tits lol!!!" or some kid like "I'm so sick of this kid talking trash I'm gonna beat his ass", maybe I wouldn't have such a sick migrane, but that's just me. I know a lot of you on TFF that fit this role, and I'm not gonna name names, but you're lucky that I don't know/aren't your parents in real life. As soon as my child starts becoming absorbed in the "drama", I'm giving them a thirty minute timeout in the middle of the highway. Not only will that isolate the drama whore from the situation, maybe a car or two will show them that things could always be worse.

The Current Trend of Hip-hop
I don't know for sure why, but it seems like nowadays these new age rappers can make millions by making some moderately slow synth beat, have a halfway unique heavy bass rhythm attached to it, pay some choreographers to make some half-assed dance for their video shoot, shout the word "YOUUUUUUUUUUU" and throw in some Mother Goose/Dr Seuss rhymes and BAM! "Great success!" [/borat] Anywho, when did people become lazy/unoriginal enough to get away with this, and better yet, why as consumers are we listening and giving positive feedback to it all? WRYYYYYY

Diehard Fanboys of a Certain System
Do you think square really gives a damn about appeasing the "hardcore" fans and only releasing Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3? Hell no. You see, the "hardcore" fans are a subdivision from the "fan" category, and what SE is really trying to do is to appease ALL of the fans, which in return appeases SE more money which in turn appeases more trips to the ski resorts in Switzerland for the executives in the respecting companies. Besides, why would they release it on the "controversially" shittiest system anyway? Square Enix wasn't born in a barn yesterday. They know the trends. And if I hear one more word from the diehard fanatics saying its "unfair" and "unjust", then I'll show you real injustice by putting my boot up your ass, and not removing it even when you politely say please.

People Who are attempting to run against Pete in the race for S-mod
Honestly? Running against Pete? Why don't people try to play Unlimited SaGa, since statistically speaking, the average RPG fan would have a greater chance of beating the game then beating Pete in the race for S-Mod. And Unlimited SaGa is hard. Balls deep hard. Like chewing on a piece of great oak chair hard. And boring too. That game in itself deserves a rage post..

I'll be back when my rage meter redlines again.
