The little things that drive you crazy.

This.

This gets added to my list, because yes, I had my own shit to whine about, so maybe this is a tiny bit hypocritical..

But when people are pissed off by EVERYTHING, and especially [and I can't tell because this is a thread on the topic, not real life] when people feel the need to mention that they hate these things constantly. Every blonde model on a billboard, every book/movie/car/etc advertisement they see, every stereotype they see on the street.

Hmm... I s'pose you're right, but some things really knark people, and more often than not they laugh about it rather than getting serious about it.


Anyhoo, I found another...

People who butt in to thing or just rudely interupt. Like, say there's a person in school or something and they're working on something really important, and then this random dude just starts talking to them and won't leave them alone. It's nice that they want to talk, just geebs. Are you blind, or are you stupid? Because it's crystal clear that this person is trying to do something.

I thought of more. And they don't involve people!!!

When the power cuts out and you haven't saved. Like today. After fighting battle upon battle, maxing out my stocks of Magic on VIII, and learning nearly every GF ability for those I have. Then, the power cuts out. I hadn't saved. I swore.

When you get to a climactic scene in some media, and your mother screeches "I need your help!" or something. You're really into the thing you're watching or reading or playing. You're engrossed. Then a screech interrupts your concentration telling you to stop and help. No matter how quick the job may seem at first, rest assured you'll be gone for at least half an hour. Then you come back frustrated.

Tapping on desks/surfaces. There is no need to continuously play the drums with your hands on the desk or bench or whatever. Especially when you can't tap a good beat, you're rhythm is terrible, and it's not a beat because it's constantly changing.

I also get annoyed by these things.
-The fact MSN crashes.
-The fact my Internet connection is always on the fritz.
-My printer running out of ink midway through printing out an important assignment.
-Anything crashing on a computer.
-Biology.
-Lights being on when I'm trying to sleep.
-Having to use skim milk on my cereal because it's all that's left.
-The claim that "Sports are more important than anything."
-That professional athletes get paid more in one year than what someone doing good like missionary work or finding a cure for a disease get in 7 years.

Hopefully that's all I'll have to post here.

I do like stuff. Honestly.

In no particular order.

-I agree with Polk. Why be uncessarily smelly when you can have a shower or bath?

-People who gloat about having lost their virginity underage. It's not cool, or sexy. It's just disgusting.

-Copycats. I'm a baby for using this word, but if you're growing up, why copy somebody elses' personality for popularity? People usually grow out if this, I find.

-People who dress to stereotypes with no acceptance to anything else. I dislike chav wear, goth wear, emo wear, etc... I don't like groups of people who you can distinguise by the look of their clothing.

-Stereotypes who take their "branding" seriously. It's a little annoying and shows just how young you still are.
That said, stereotypes do annoy me, but they annoy me more if they're over the age of sixteen. I'm not opposed to a piece of clothing here and there, but if you're still dressing like a full emo or goth and you're over sixteen, it's a little bit sad in my opinion.

-Girls who smother themselves in make-up. If you're a little ugly, fair enough, but no amount of make-up is going to fix that. I think it's better to be natural and flawed rather than trying too hard. That said, I don't think make-up is evil or horrible in moderation.

-People who drink or smoke excessively. Just don't like it.

-Liars/cheats. It's pathetic. What's the point in lying or cheating around? Life's too short for bullshit.

-Youths who think they're the shit because they drink and have sex publicly. I hate all of them.

-People who are rude or disrespectful, partiularly to the elderly. Yes, I realise some of them are annoying old kooks, but we can't all be perfect, and picking on the elderly just goes to show how pathetic people really are. Leave them alone.

-People who won't give up their seat on the bus for a pregnant lady, a disabled person or an old person. I always give up my seat, why can't you? Do you have a broken foot? No. So let them have the fecking seat.

Yeah.

Cruelty to the elderly, people who beat their children or partners up. Paedophilia. Thieves. Child abuse in any way or form. Animal abuse in all ways or forms. Etc.

The one thing I despise more than pretty much most things ever, is animal cruelty.
