So, what is the topic asking for? It's kind of like that pet peeves thread from a while back. I'm majoring in product design and for my graduation project, I obviously need some concept/product to showcase. I'm in my brainstorming phase right now and I want TL's help on which areas might be interesting to explore.
Example from my personal experience:
I get annoyed when I'm listening to music on mp3 player and someone starts talking to me at which point I have to reach into my pockets, pause it, and take off my earphones to have a conversation.
solution:
These earphones automatically pause whatever you're listening to when you take either side off and continues playing when both are plugged into your ears.
Just share any similar daily annoyances (no solutions needed, in fact, I think that might be counterproductive for me).
Well, it's not like I'm soley depending on this thread to get ideas... I figured I had nothing to lose posting this and it's not completely self-serving either -_-

Thanks TL
those are tight... where'd you get em? and are there earphone versions? I don't like those "in-ear" kinda things
Those earphones are just one example of those things that bothered me and later found out there was already a product in the market that dealt with it. I don't own one nor do I know details but I would assume there would/could be a mechanism via button where you can toggle that auto pause/play mode on/off?
I don't mind people posting shit that is probably irrelevant as long as it's not too troll... Like I said, I don't have anything to lose from this thread and there might be tons of replies that are funny/interesting despite being no help to me whatsoever :p
I hate it wen I open a beer right before I play a game and totally forget about it.. Flat beer SUX BALLS. I immagine it's the same with coke and fizzy drinks..
earphones that point toward the side instead of into your ear. earphions that point into your ear, but are crazy expensive. earphones that are purposely designed not to be sturdy so they break and u buy more
PPL that stand and talk in the narrowest, most busiest hallways and chokes and cause ppl traffic, thinking that doing so will result in more ppl noticing them or asserting their popularity. GTFO of the WAY!!

I honestly think every single thing that bothers me can be summed up as: Idiots in general.
To be more specific:
People who walk slow.
People who drive all the way up to the end of a merge lane and then expect me to let them in.
TV "news". More specifically those who watch it and believe anything it tells them.
The people who watch my SC2 stream, act like ungrateful idiots and start screaming "nerd rage" whenever I don't say GG.
Seeing fat people pigging out. Or just people who don't give a shit about their health in general. Your cancer and heart disease is putting a massive burden on the Canadian health care system, and you should be fucking taxed for your unhealthy lifestyle.
Girls who can't put their text messaging down for more that 2 minutes. (Doesn't seem to happen with guys much).
Anyone who wears Ed Hardy, or thinks hes gonna get laid by puffing his chest out in the clubs and being an douchebag in general.
People who will deceive themselves in order to protect their own egos.
People who smoke cigarettes near doorway, smokers in general. YOU SMELL BAD, SO KILL YOURSELF SOMEWHERE ELSE. I'm sorry you tried a highly addictive drug called nicotine, don't stink up my air. Go to rehab or something if you can't quit yourself.
Unrealistic hippies. We can't just shut our entire fucking economy down and live happily, so STFU and make a contribution to something that is economically self sustaining and helps the environment.
Political correctness/paranoia of racism/discrimination. I'm sorry, but a massive portion of black people are not from fucking Africa, so I'm not going to call them African American, or African Canadian, I'm just going to fucking call them black (until I actually know where they are from), just like I call white people white, and brown people brown. Also, on this topic, my girlfriends mother works for an insurance company, and volunteered the information that Asian drivers get in way more accidents, and that they drive up everyone's insurance rates because the insurance companies can't be "racist" (They tried to charge Asian drivers more but the legislation got thrown out). So when I say Asians are bad drivers, I'm not being fucking racist, I'm making a generalization based on factual evidence. Old people are also pretty fucking bad, and people who drive on cell phones piss me the fuck off as well.
Also related to the racism topic. Any kind of celebrity who uses racial slurs to refer to other people of the same race. It's not cool, you just make yourself look like a fucking idiot, and further racial stereotypes.
Also, the piece of shit genre rap music has turned into post Y2K.
People who come to work/school when they are sick. STAY THE FUCK HOME.
People who stand close to you while your checking out, especially self check out, wanna move the fuck back please I mean god damn is being 3 feet away really going to kill you.
Mmh, I like this thread. It gives solutions to everyday life troubles and in the meanwhile insight into TL people's mindset. Here's my shot!
Stuff that annoys me:
1. People that doesn't set up their chair after classes 2. My dad watching pron, thinking I'm deaf blind and stupid. 3. My class in general 4. Overfeministic women (6 of them in aforementioned class) 5. Microsoft Word 2003. (And my school refusing to get better software) 6. People commenting on me talking about philosophy as if it was something freaky/geekish when I'm not even talking to them 7. My workingmemory 8. Last but not least! + Show Spoiler +
And the list goes on.
Solutions! 1. Ignore it. 2. Confronting him. 3. Switch school/see nr. 1 4. Sit down and talk about it/Buy a gun 5. Confront principle. 6. See number 4. 7. - 8. Send picture to Subway + Show Spoiler +

People that walk really goddamn slow and do not walk in a straight line. They kind of weave left and right, just enough so you can't pass them on the sidewalk unless you walk on the street. Oh yeah, and when you do pass them thye start to walk faster till you almost have to fucking run to get by them. Most of the time they are texting for talking loudly on the phone.
I want to punch these people in the back of the head.

My gf's miniature dachshunds. She has 2 and they are the devil incarnate. One of them steals my shoes and drags them all over the place. The other one makes high pitched whining noises and begs constantly. They are both spoiled rotten as well. I want to strangle them!

Unhealthy people piss me off. I am not unhealthy. People who talk on phones while driving piss me off. I do not talk on my phone while driving. People who smoke close to doorways. I don't compromise any other persons health with my habits.
This shit has nothing to do with anger coming out because I don't meet my own standards, it has to do with people annoying me and causing inconveniences in my daily life. Go spread your Eckhart Tolle crap somewhere else.
You know what also pisses me off? Friends who spend all of their spare money on pot so that they can no longer go out into the world and actually do something fun, and then tell themselves that they are meeting their own standards and its my fault our friendship is failing. When I judge someone for this, it has nothing to do with my own ego or inability to meet my own standards, it has to do with them not meeting my standards for friends, and no longer enjoying their company.

But seriously: 1. Slow walkers (walking to class has never been so frustrating) 2. Feminists (if you want equal rights, then you will be treated equal IN ALL WAYS) 3.

I know we're Americans, but can we please try not to be so obviously lazy?) 5. Health Freaks (like, the REALLY bad ones -> still crying over the fact that cookie monster is veggie monster...)
I'm sure I could think of more, but I'm getting frustrated just writing these down.

Or...
They just piss me off? Especially the fat obnoxious people I mentioned...
1. Political correctness: Can't make a statement about women, black, asians without being called racist of chauvinist. Obviously this doesn't apply to men and white.
2. Affirmative action: so how the heck is this not a discrimination? Try to eqaulize chances from the beginning and not just screw over people after they put so much work to get to the dream school just because you need to admit a few guys from each minority who would never possibly get there.
3. People walking slowly and who can't walk straight. Impossible to pass.
4. People who are cheap. Goddamn it, 1 dollar is not much and will not make you any poorer.
5. People who want to save the world. Go save the world somewhere else. I don't want to be a part of it as I don't believe in the impact of one individual. And don't say I'm selfish. I help when I feel the need but this doesn't mean I have to devote my life to saving poor in Africa or somewhere else. Also, most of the time you are soooo naive.
6. People with huge ego trying to show off.
7. Girls that talk only about guys, clothes and TV series... And the guys who chase those girls.
8. Women who breast-feed children in the public. Why the hell I would like to see your breast! Great that you're a mother but take your child somewhere else to feed it so people don't have to see it.
9. Couples with children who think that just because they have children they have right not to stand in line, push you or disrespect you.
Ok, that's enough It was good to take share my frustration Probably more but these are the most annoying

fake corporate talk always reminds me of Office Space and makes me cringe
I hate it when it snows. I have no car, only a motorbike, and when it snows I have to ride the bus. It costs a lot of money, takes twice as long and isn't available in the evening.
Don't get me wrong, I love snow. Just not on the road.
Solution: build roads underground. Or climate change.

and whoever you know that spends money on a free plant is dumb
Go to movies. Go do activities like bowling, mini golf, go karting, paintball. Coffee shops. Food! Sports. Lan parties. Board games. Billiards. The occasional club/bar.
Also, growing your own pot costs $$ as well, is less efficient to do on a small scale, and brings in risks such as getting seen by the police thermal imaging on the helicopter, or your power company wondering wtf is up. My whole stance on the thing is that pot is fine, its when you substitute your entire lifestyle for sitting on your couch smoking pot. Just use in moderation like anything else in life.
1) people who talk too much when you don't really care about the topic 2) people that always think they're right 3) autotune 4) a wall of slow cars on the freeway 5) people that are fake 6) people who pack up at the end of lecture when the professor hasn't finished talking yet
Don't you hate it when you crack an egg, get a bit of egg on your hands and you want to wash your hands but there's another egg to crack, so it's a dilemma whether to wash first to get rid of the slimy feeling or to just man ahead and plow into the second egg.

People who drive horribly and use the "baby on board" excuse to justify it.
People who mess with student drivers. By that i mean get angry at them just cause they can't do things as quickly or efficiently as regular drivers. I mean COME ON! give them a break, they're new and probly very nervous about being on the road.
When people attribute good things to God and bad things to Satan. Like I once read a facebook status that was referring to a priest who was in the hospital, sick: "It just goes to prove how far Satan will go to hurt good people."

Due to this I only ever cook one egg at a time
I just crack all the eggs and then wash my hands. I don't think I have ever had this dilemma.

I hate traffic and aside from moving there's nothing I can do to fix it.
I hate it when the cause of traffic is traffic.
For example, there's a freeway merge on the right lane, and it's backed up. All these lazy ass slackers will go in the lane second to the right and try to merge at the very last second and come to a near complete stop. That means that all the people in the second lane need to stop for this asshole to merge in to the right. Also, he sucks at merging, so the car in the right lane will need to make a sudden stop, causing all the other cars in the right lane to stop as well. And because there's traffic in the right lane, people will go in the second to right lane to merge at the last second...

This one time there was some crazy broad on the subway yapping on her cellphone how her boyfriend was pressuring her to have sex while he takes Viagra.
Something that causes me the most frustration is if I lose my phone around the house while it's on silent or (to a lesser extent) vibrate. It doesn't happen often but when it does... serious pain in the arse to find.
One time I'd given it up for dead and it showed up a week later in.. my parents bed. Yeah. No idea.

Agree with every single point you made except the part about smoking. If it's outside then a non-smoker can't say shit imo. It's not "your" air, it's "ours" first of all. And there is no way it can bother you that badly outside. Not like you are choking on it like you would of 5-6 years ago. And there is no cigarette rehab lol?

And please, do not justify your generalizations and racist upbringing. It's fucking disgusting. You better start re-evaluating your values because once you have kids, you're gonna teach them all those self-righteous bullshit that you comfort yourself with.
News flash: You WILL get old, you WILL get sick. I really hope someone still has sympathy left for you when you're weak. Start caring more about others please.
When you disagree with someone and they are being highly argumentative yet are saying things that make absolutely no logical sense and are claiming that you said things that you in no way said.
One thing that REALLY bugs me are Asian drivers. Holy shit, I almost got into a car accident if I rear ended this guy in his Toyota Matrix. He has a heavy foot and would slam hard on the brakes. I was on the right lane and was going to make a right turn onto a street. The guy in the Matrix in front slammed hard on the brakes because there was a girl jogging across the street (keep in mind that she was far away enough for the guy to make a turn). Luckily, my reaction was fast enough and I pulled my e-brake. Thank god there wasn't a car behind me since he/she might have hit me, causing me to hit the car in front. Of course he had the nerve to come out of his car and give me an ugly stare, which doesn't make sense since I DID NOT hit him. I think he just assume I did because I was tailgating him, which is his fault since he was going around 25 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. The best part is that I looked to the left and see 2 guys laughing at the Asian guy in his Matrix.
When I'm tired, for instance when I have to study a lot and I chronically only get 3-4 hours of sleep daily throughout the week, everything pisses the hell out of me. I guess you can say a lot of things have been pissing me off in everyday life for the past year or so.
Worst of all, are those fing idiots who always ask for help with that "I have no other option, I'm stuck" face, except they do it all the time and don't ever ever try to figure out anything for themselves. + Show Spoiler +
Fuckin' whinos. It is okay to ask for help, but try to figure it out on your own first, give it a try or something.

How about instead of judging all asians you just say you hate people who drive the way that guy did? Also it's never another guy's fault if you are tailgating them... it's yours. Granted, it's frustrating being behind a slow driver.

You almost rear-ended someone who was going 25 mph? You are the bad driver I'm afraid. Sure it's annoying, but when you're driving you need to get that under control IMO.

sorry i'm not rich. no, but i do leave a bit of what i can, unless i'm really strapped. but it really is the system of tip wages, and in the end it's only the business owner that gets all the benefit while customers & waiters are pitted like this, and squable and post on forums speaking their real minds. no hate towards ya, despite my tone, just expressing my disdain for that kind of system. tip wage with no tips is brutal i know.
People like this. I work for tips. I am poor, and frugal. Yet I tip heavily because I'm not an asshole, and I appreciate the work done on my behalf. If you would 'walk over with te dishes' yourself, do it at home from your kitchen. You go to a restaurant to be served. That's the point. If you don't want to pay for service, why not eat at home or get your food to go? The system may not be perfect, but you are not being a rebel against the system when you refuse to tip... you are fucking the waiter in the ass.

With the smoking outside, all I'm saying is that I would prefer if smokers didn't do it right next to the door, so that I can enter the building without walking through a cloud of smoke. The reason I said rehab is, nicotine is somewhere around the same level of chemical addiction as most hard drugs, so it would make sense to have cigarette rehab similar to alcohol rehab for those who really want to quit but don't have the will power.

Example from my personal experience:
I get annoyed when I'm listening to music on mp3 player and someone starts talking to me at which point I have to reach into my pockets, pause it, and take off my earphones to have a conversation.
solution:
These earphones automatically pause whatever you're listening to when you take either side off and continues playing when both are plugged into your ears.
Just share any similar daily annoyances (no solutions needed, in fact, I think that might be counterproductive for me).

First of all, I'm not racist for saying alot of Asians are bad drivers or calling black people black, because these things are facts. I may be an insensitive asshole about the topic, but It's not like I go around treating people of different races differently without knowing them. I don't assume all Asians are bad drivers, but the abundance of bad Asian drivers piss me off. I can honestly categorize 90% of people who cause near-accidents on the road in front of me into 3-4 categories: Old people, people on cell phones, Asians (traffic in Hong Kong, Malaysia, China etc. is fucking crazy compared to Canada, so it doesn't surprise me) and 16-24 year old males that like to drive fast (I would probably be in the category). I'm not saying its some genetic thing, or that if you have Asian kids they will be bad drivers, I was just making the point that when a stereotype is true, or when being politically correct goes too far, the definition of racism gets broadened to a retarded scope where it doesn't properly apply. I have many friends who are Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Indian etc. and I guarantee if you asked them if they thought I was racist they would respond with "wtf" and probably laugh at you. I am just someone who cuts right through the bullshit, and calls it how it is, that is all. They might tell you that I can be pretty obnoxious when I speak my mind, but I'm no racist. The definition of racism is "the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.". I don't think any one race is better than another, I just think that alot of Asians are bad drivers, alot of white people act like trailer trash, alot of black people (and some really fucking stupid white people) wear their pants around their knees etc. The reality of it is, there are trends among races based on culture and upbringing, what separates the acknowledgment of this from racism is whether or not you believe that race is the primary determinant in these trends, and whether or not you are tolerant of other races, and treat people equally when all else is the same. Personally I believe that a white kid growing up in a black community is probably more likely to embrace that culture, and could very well dress like a gangster or listen to rap music as a result. I think the same would apply to a white kid growing up driving in hong kong, when he comes to Canada, hes probably going to be an issue for other drivers. It's really that simple, and if you can't tell the difference between making generalizations and being racist, you have probably spent too much time absorbing the American media.
You think you can judge how I handle my relationships based on one example you don't even understand? Everyone has lost friends at some point in their life, and its not like I'm on bad terms with the person I mentioned, in fact if I called him right now I'm sure he'd be cool with hanging out, I just don't like sitting around smoking pot, and as a result we don't hang out as much, its that fucking simple.
About the getting old and sick part, when I say unhealthy people, I mean the people who smoke 3 packs a day, or weigh 300lbs, and then wonder why they fucking have health problems. A healthy diet and exercise can reduce the odds of cancer, heart disease and stroke by 80%, yet people still fucking kill themselves by eating and smoking all day long. I'm not talking about someones decrepit grandmother, I'm talking about the 35 year old fatty that can't get out of bed because he eats too much.
I think its hilarious that you think I am insecure and finds comfort alienating others... this is not the case. The thread is simply about stuff that pisses me off. Venting what pisses me off makes me feel better, its as simple as that. I get no pleasure from seeing people smoke, eat themselves to death, etc. nor do I get pleasure from passing judgment. I'm just listing off the things that piss me off.
If you think I'm so insecure, why don't you ask yourself what you were doing in your post? Did I just piss you off? Or do you feel the need to criticize others to make yourself feel better. If you don't like what I'm saying, then feel free to express why, but you just turn yourself into a hypocrite when you personally attack me.

If it was my friend I'd be callin him out so hard so that no one would ever have to smell that shit again.

I couldn't agree more.
Wr3k, you are pretty fucking unbelievable. You need to grow up if you think the world still revolves around you. I'm sorry but you sound like someone who's very insecure, yet finds comfort in alienating others. No wonder your friendships are failing. And please, do not justify your generalizations and racist upbringing. It's fucking disgusting. You better start re-evaluating your values because once you have kids, you're gonna teach them all those self-righteous bullshit that you comfort yourself with.
News flash: You WILL get old, you WILL get sick. I really hope someone still has sympathy left for you when you're weak. Start caring more about others please.
First of all, I'm not racist for saying Asians are bad drivers, or calling black people black, because these things are facts. I may be an insensitive asshole about the topic, but It's not like I go around treating people of different races differently without knowing them. I don't assume all Asians are bad drivers, but the abundance of bad Asian drivers piss me off. I can honestly categorize 90% of people who cause near-accidents on the road in front of me into 3-4 categories: Old people, people on cell phones, Asians (traffic in Hong Kong, Malaysia, China etc. is fucking crazy compared to Canada, so it doesn't surprise me) and 16-24 year old males that like to drive fast (I would probably be in the category). I'm not saying its some genetic thing, or that if you have Asian kids they will be bad drivers, I was just making the point that when a stereotype is true, or when being politically correct goes too far, the definition of racism gets broadened to a retarded scope where it doesn't properly apply. I have many friends who are Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Indian etc. and I guarantee if you asked them if they thought I was racist they would respond with "wtf" and probably laugh at you. I am just someone who cuts right through the bullshit, and calls it how it is, that is all. They might tell you that I can be pretty obnoxious when I speak my mind, but I'm no racist.
You think you can judge how I handle my relationships based on one example you don't even understand? Everyone has lost friends at some point in their life, and its not like I'm on bad terms with the person I mentioned, in fact if I called him right now I'm sure he'd be cool with hanging out, I just don't like sitting around smoking pot, and as a result we don't hang out as much, its that fucking simple.
About the getting old and sick part, when I say unhealthy people, I mean the people who smoke 3 packs a day, or weigh 300lbs, and then wonder why they fucking have health problems. A healthy diet and exercise can reduce the odds of cancer, heart disease and stroke by 80%, yet people still fucking kill themselves by eating and smoking all day long. I'm not talking about someones decrepit grandmother, I'm talking about the 35 year old fatty that can't get out of bed because he eats too much.
I think its hilarious that you think I am insecure and finds comfort alienating others... this is not the case. The thread is simply about stuff that pisses me off. Venting what pisses me off makes me feel better, its as simple as that. I get no pleasure from seeing people smoke, eat themselves to death, etc. nor do I get pleasure from passing judgment. I'm just listing off the things that piss me off.
If you think I'm so insecure, why don't you ask yourself what you were doing in your post? Did I just piss you off? Or do you feel the need to criticize others to make yourself feel better. If you don't like what I'm saying, then feel free to express why, but you just turn yourself into a hypocrite when you personally attack me.
So, someone calls you insecure and you respond with a wall of text explaining why you aren't insecure?

Anyways, things that annoy me:
Arial!
Don't ever use it.
I wrote two lines responding to the insecurity comment. If someone told you to grow the fuck up and said you were a racist, added baseless insults like: "no wonder your relationships are failing", and then suggested that you should re-evaluate all of your values before reproducing, would you not be a little offended? I have a 3hr break until my next class, and one of my favorite ways to pass time is arguing with people on the internet.

Why are so many people complaining about people who walk slow? If you can't go around them then open your mouth and say "excuse me, im in a rush, can i pass?" [or something along those lines] instead of walking behind them and whine about how slow they are walking. Am I missing something here? Sometime I walk extremely slow because I have extra time before my next class and I rather walk slowly and enjoy the breeze or what's around me then rush and wait outside my next class. -edit- So I guess people who complains about slow walker annoys me. Either go around or ask them to get out of the way. I guess if you can't speak up for yourself to get pass people then it's best to whine about it on the internet.

Ditto here, and I often turn my phone on vibrate a lot.
Easily the most common annoyance I have is when people smoke while they walk to classes. I am forced to sprint ahead of them or slow down to their pace and walk 30 feet behind them -.- Cigs smell so bad it is painful.

Often it's very inconvenient to do this... honestly people have a right to get frustrated by this. I work in a school so I have to deal with all sorts of stupid crap where kids block hallways oblivious to the huge traffic jams they are creating :p

I agree with alot of the things you wrote, but this is a really shallow view on health problems. People have alot of reasons for abusing substances, being fat, bulemic or anorectic. You can't just put the whole burden on the individual, that's just naive.

In a private health care system I wouldn't care, id say do whatever you like. The thing is that in Canada, our healthcare system is free to the public, those who live unhealthy lifestyles put an unnecessary strain on the system, increasing wait times and government spending. There have been massive concerns over how to make public health care sustainable, and the fact is that the largest strain on the system is a result of unhealthy lifestyles. All I would ask of people is to be more conscious about their health, and to try and live healthy lifestyles. There are so many people who just don't care, and as a result they get sick, burden the system, and then the rest of us have to wait hours and hours just to get some hospital care. It takes months upon months to get any kind of hospital test such as a CT scan done, simply because its so overloaded. Many Canadians who suspect they have serious problems such as cancer, will pay money out of pocket to go to the states and get tested. I think that in a Country with public health care, we have a responsibility to try and live a healthy lifestyle so as the system does not break down. If a healthy person develops a sickness, I would say that its unfortunate, but if someone whos 80lbs overweight has a stroke, I would say its negligence on the part of the individual. I feel that its simply unfair that the person born with a heart defect has to wait for a bed because there are 400 overweight people who just had heart attacks taking up the space. The preventable health problems should be prevented, rather than ignored, so that there can be better care for everyone.
People who pester me with fickle shit when I'm listening to my iPod every 15 seconds. And adding on, continuing to harass me even after I give that "fuck off I don't care" look.

Unless that reason is due to an uncontrollable disease ( See Fat and Diabetes...or Thyroid problem and Fat) then you CAN and SHOULD put the whole burden on the individual because it was their damn decision in the first place.

You're a clown. The very reason the food is even remotely affordable is because of the way the tip-wage system works. If restaurants were forced to pay their waiters full wages you can expect every single plate in the entire restaurant to increase by at least 3-4 dollars a plate if not much more than that.
Being served is part of going to a restaurant. As such tipping for good service is part of going to a restaurant. Nobody says you have to tip terrible service but if the waiter/waitress is doing a good job and you put nothing down you deserve a whole lot of contempt. If you don't like it then eat take out.

And regarding free health care i'm from sweden you know
But i really shouldnt talk about overweight in canada/us. Maybe it's more related to laziness and ignorance there than in sweden.
I still don't think anyone choses to be obese and immobilized and smoke 60 cigarettes a day though. As i mentioned earlier bulemics is a burden on my tax financed health care system as well, but yet nobody would tell them to "just quit putting your fingers down your throat its unhealthy".
So yes it's a shame that 400 overweight people with stroke occupies hospital beds. But i'd rather get angry with the structure of the society rather than on the individuals themselves. They're just the symtoms of something bigger that is wrong. Fast food culture in the US / shitty school food in the UK, etc etc.
Slow walkers -- i mean like so slow that it's just rude. you can say "excuse me" but that honestly ends up with them giving you attitude 50% of the time and it's just a awkward situation.
passing in hallways-- choose a lane and stick with it. i always thought it was normal to stay in the right lane because that's how we drive here. i've been in empty hallways and someone will just B-line right into my path from the other side of the hallway like they can't control their legs.
same with doors -- open the one on your right. im sick of opening the correct door to meet 3 people on the other side trying to walk through me.

Agree with every single point you made except the part about smoking. If it's outside then a non-smoker can't say shit imo. It's not "your" air, it's "ours" first of all. And there is no way it can bother you that badly outside. Not like you are choking on it like you would of 5-6 years ago. And there is no cigarette rehab lol?
When I get smoke in my lungs I start to cough heavily and it stings in my chest. Thanks bro for smoking just at the entrance were I have to walk through or at a bus stop. And even if most people doesn't have problems like this with smoke EVERYONE and I mean EVERY none smoker, hates and thinks smoke is disgusting.
You're so kind and you really care about other people........... -.-

There can be psychological reasons which cant be diagnosed as well.
Alot of people have tried to blame it on the individual in a wide spectre of social problems before. And really, it's a one-dimentional solution to a three-dimentional problem. Try rehabilitating a drug addict with the "it's only your own fault"-attitude for example and GL. It's not as simple to just "chose" not to smoke, not to be fat, not to be attracted to wrong persons etc.

I agree with alot of the things you wrote, but this is a really shallow view on health problems. People have alot of reasons for abusing substances, being fat, bulemic or anorectic. You can't just put the whole burden on the individual, that's just naive.
In a private health care system I wouldn't care, id say do whatever you like. The thing is that in Canada, our healthcare system is free to the public, those who live unhealthy lifestyles put an unnecessary strain on the system, increasing wait times and government spending. There have been massive concerns over how to make public health care sustainable, and the fact is that the largest strain on the system is a result of unhealthy lifestyles. All I would ask of people is to be more conscious about their health, and to try and live healthy lifestyles. There are so many people who just don't care, and as a result they get sick, burden the system, and then the rest of us have to wait hours and hours just to get some hospital care. It takes months upon months to get any kind of hospital test such as a CT scan done, simply because its so overloaded. Many Canadians who suspect they have serious problems such as cancer, will pay money out of pocket to go to the states and get tested. I think that in a Country with public health care, we have a responsibility to try and live a healthy lifestyle so as the system does not break down. If a healthy person develops a sickness, I would say that its unfortunate, but if someone whos 80lbs overweight has a stroke, I would say its negligence on the part of the individual. I feel that its simply unfair that the person born with a heart defect has to wait for a bed because there are 400 overweight people who just had heart attacks taking up the space. The preventable health problems should be prevented, rather than ignored, so that there can be better care for everyone.
And regarding free health care i'm from sweden you know
But i really shouldnt talk about overweight in canada/us. Maybe it's more related to laziness and ignorance there than in sweden.
I still don't think anyone choses to be obese and immobilized and smoke 60 cigarettes a day though. As i mentioned earlier bulemics is a burden on my tax financed health care system as well, but yet nobody would tell them to "just quit putting your fingers down your throat its unhealthy".
So yes it's a shame that 400 overweight people with stroke occupies hospital beds. But i'd rather get angry with the structure of the society rather than on the individuals themselves. They're just the symtoms of something bigger that is wrong. Fast food culture in the US / shitty school food in the UK, etc etc.
I agree that its very much so a societal problem, but to change it, individuals need to recognize the consequences of their lifestyle choices, and to that end I really think it falls upon the individual. People don't choose to be obese or smoke 60 cigarettes a day, but they do choose to eat a burger instead of a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with no mayo and a fruit salad, and they do choose to try cigarettes. There are consequences to these choices when you make them daily for years on end.

Obese persons dont want to be obese Obese persons know cheeseburgers don't make them thinner Smokers know about health risks
Honestly, at this point, nothing annoys me anymore, I have reached a state of Zen with noise isolating earbuds on campus and having a laptop during lectures. I barely have to interact with people at all.
when someone is walking towards you, and you don't know whether to go left or right. you both end up going left - right - left - right - left until someone stops completely and lets the other person go. happens to everyone, but it's been really annoying to me lately, happening frequently

Agreed, if you grew up when the doctors were telling you to do it, and got yourself addicted, then I have some sympathy when you get lung cancer. Not so much if you started when everyone knew it was terrible for you.
judgmental people, atheists with a sick crusade against religion, the impossibility of balancing religious tolerance with public policy backed by science, egos, the stigma against doing things alone, the stigma regarding recreational substances, malicious stupidity
on the whole i am a pretty positive person i think, these are just overarching themes i think about sometimes and go 'bleh i wish they would just go away'

Would you like to enlighten me on those statements? What do you mean by them? They caught my interest but I'm not sure if I understand your meaning behind it.
On topic: Religious vs atheïsts... I mean give me a break, there's so much ignorance when it comes to this subject it's not even funny.
1. people who talk politics all the freakin time ... who in fact knows nothing... and are just relaying opinion pieces 2. people who act all smarty pants - they should know by now that ppl dun like smarty pants-es 3. MSN does not have spell checker 4. people who blow their parent's money without thinking 5. my lousy cooking

If its happening frequently then you should just stop right from the beginning and let them go. Problem solved.

1. Political correctness: Can't make a statement about women, black, asians without being called racist of chauvinist. Obviously this doesn't apply to men and white.
2. Affirmative action: so how the heck is this not a discrimination? Try to eqaulize chances from the beginning and not just screw over people after they put so much work to get to the dream school just because you need to admit a few guys from each minority who would never possibly get there.
3. People walking slowly and who can't walk straight. Impossible to pass.
4. People who are cheap. Goddamn it, 1 dollar is not much and will not make you any poorer.
5. People who want to save the world. Go save the world somewhere else. I don't want to be a part of it as I don't believe in the impact of one individual. And don't say I'm selfish. I help when I feel the need but this doesn't mean I have to devote my life to saving poor in Africa or somewhere else. Also, most of the time you are soooo naive.
6. People with huge ego trying to show off.
7. Girls that talk only about guys, clothes and TV series... And the guys who chase those girls.
8. Women who breast-feed children in the public. Why the hell I would like to see your breast! Great that you're a mother but take your child somewhere else to feed it so people don't have to see it.
9. Couples with children who think that just because they have children they have right not to stand in line, push you or disrespect you.
I agree with all of these points. Yeah women want better treatment than men is actually whats going on. I don't want to save the world I just wanna live my life. I don't want you forcing all this stuff on me when that's your goal. There are a few more that really annoy me:
1. PICTURE it is not pronounced pitcher. 2. Roommates alarms going off more then once at 7 am when you have a 12 class 3. Teachers who have no clue how to teach they just skip everything 4. People borrowing stuff and bringing it back broken, or not bringing it back at all. 5. This guy named hammerhock....

The best part is that I looked to the left and see 2 guys laughing at the Asian guy in his Matrix.
You almost rear-ended someone who was going 25 mph? You are the bad driver I'm afraid. Sure it's annoying, but when you're driving you need to get that under control IMO.
Doorway smoking is also pretty annoying.
I actually made the post smaller to cut out some of the details, so if you want the whole story here is it.
I was driving home from school and there was a Toyota Matrix in front of me. The Matrix driver switched to the left lane to make a left turn onto a different street, but then in about 2 or 3 seconds he decides to switch back to the right onto my lane. At first I didn't say anything, but he changed lanes really fast and it kinda shook me. I always take a neighborhood route since there is less traffic and not many students know about it, but today there were more cars than usual. So since it was a neighborhood, there were only single lanes, so you were stuck behind the car in front. A street light turned red and he has a heavy foot and slammed hard on the brakes. I turned my head to the left and see that there was AT LEAST a half to full car length in front of him... So I don't get why he had to brake so hard....
Later the single lane became 3 lanes and I was happy to get away from this guy, but nooo he switched to the right lane (the one I'm on). I needed to be on the right lane since I had to make a right turn onto a street. Another street light came up and it turned red and Matrix slammed hard on the brakes AGAIN because there was a girl jogging across the street (keep in mind that she was far away enough for the guy to make a turn and she was adjusting her arm band that has an iPod). Luckily, my reaction was fast enough and I pulled my e-brake. Thank god there wasn't a car behind me since he/she might have hit me, causing me to hit the car in front. Of course he had the nerve to come out of his car and give me an ugly stare, which doesn't make sense since I DID NOT hit him. I think he just assume I did because I was tailgating him earlier, which is his fault since he was going around 25 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. The stupidest part is that once we both turned right onto a new street, he made ANOTHER right turn, thus in conclusion, showed that he just drove in a circle.
So no, I'm not a bad driver. I had to tail gate him because it was a single lane and I tried to space out the distance between him and I. I was at the point where I had to let off the gas and then step on it again it still didn't work. The person in back of me tried the same, but it didn't work. The guy in the Matrix would speed up a little faster and then slow down way slower. So in all, you guys can say whatever you want. I still believe most Asian drivers are pretty bad. If you guys are offended by it then I'm sorry because even as an Asian, I still strongly believe that some of them cannot drive.

You are just fucking unbelievable, why even bother arguing with you?
And I also think that you're pointing out very unnecessary details, such as: "The best part is that I looked to the left and see 2 guys laughing at the Asian guy in his Matrix."

You almost rear-ended someone who was going 25 mph? You are the bad driver I'm afraid. Sure it's annoying, but when you're driving you need to get that under control IMO.
Doorway smoking is also pretty annoying.
I actually made the post smaller to cut out some of the details, so if you want the whole story here is it.
I was driving home from school and there was a Toyota Matrix in front of me. The Matrix driver switched to the left lane to make a left turn onto a different street, but then in about 2 or 3 seconds he decides to switch back to the right onto my lane. At first I didn't say anything, but he changed lanes really fast and it kinda shook me. I always take a neighborhood route since there is less traffic and not many students know about it, but today there were more cars than usual. So since it was a neighborhood, there were only single lanes, so you were stuck behind the car in front. A street light turned red and he has a heavy foot and slammed hard on the brakes. I turned my head to the left and see that there was AT LEAST a half to full car length in front of him... So I don't get why he had to brake so hard....
Later the single lane became 3 lanes and I was happy to get away from this guy, but nooo he switched to the right lane (the one I'm on). I needed to be on the right lane since I had to make a right turn onto a street. Another street light came up and it turned red and Matrix slammed hard on the brakes AGAIN because there was a girl jogging across the street (keep in mind that she was far away enough for the guy to make a turn and she was adjusting her arm band that has an iPod). Luckily, my reaction was fast enough and I pulled my e-brake. Thank god there wasn't a car behind me since he/she might have hit me, causing me to hit the car in front. Of course he had the nerve to come out of his car and give me an ugly stare, which doesn't make sense since I DID NOT hit him. I think he just assume I did because I was tailgating him earlier, which is his fault since he was going around 25 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. The stupidest part is that once we both turned right onto a new street, he made ANOTHER right turn, thus in conclusion, showed that he just drove in a CIRCLE.
So no, I'm not a bad driver. I had to tail gate him because it was a single lane and I tried to space out the distance between him and I. I was at the point where I had to let off the gas and then step on it again it still didn't work. The person in back of me tried the same, but it didn't work. The guy in the Matrix would speed up a little faster and then slow down way slower. So in all, you guys can say whatever you want. I still believe most Asian drivers are pretty bad.
None of the details really help your case. You can easily just match his speed from a distance even if he's changing it a lot. You rarely have to tailgate someone - doing so is usually a sign that you are a bad driver.
The fact that he was also a bad driver doesn't make you any better. You probably know this which is why you felt the need to type out such a long explanation. Good luck becoming a safer driver.

You are just fucking unbelievable, why even bother arguing with you?
And I also think that you're pointing out very unnecessary details, such as: "The best part is that I looked to the left and see 2 guys laughing at the Asian guy in his Matrix."
-.-
Then don't argue with me. I was just stating what I believe in like this thread is about. If you guys are offended that I say it then just ignore it. Like I said so, I use "SOME" in my edited post. If you ask any of your Asian friends, some of them will say the same thing. In MY experiences, the times that I almost got into a car accident are usually from Asians.
@ Freyr:
you can say whatever you want, but you had to be there at the situation. I matched his speed for a couple of seconds, but then it would change due to people merging onto the single lane in the neighborhood because he would brake, speed up faster, slow down, speed up, slow down, etc. I forgot to mention that he looked a twitchy. What I mean is that, usually the person you see in front is sitting still, concentrating on the road. In this case, the Matrix driver, kept looking around and moving his right arm around, like he was grabbing something, or eating. I only typed a longer explanation to give more details on on how the person drove. And no, I already am a safe driver, so thank you and go on with your life because like I said, I just wanted to share something in this thread. I admit that I should have typed up the longer post, but I was at work, so I just submitted it. If you really want to keep arguing then we'll continue over PM if you're that sensitive on the topic.

Ah yeah I totally understand now - that sounds really tough. I hate it when people speed up faster and THEN slow down.
I dunno why you are defending yourself so much - everyone drives badly occasionally for whatever reason. Erratic drivers can be super dangerous, you're right, but not usually at 25-35 mph. If he was really giving you trouble you obviously should have dropped way back (and stayed back, which isn't that hard).

No, you don't get it. He sped up fast, which in turn, I sped up a little faster because I thought that the very front car was speeding up, but then he slowed way down again, causing me to go back to how it started near the entrance of the neighborhood. Like I said, there was a car in back of me, so I couldn't widen the gap. The driver in my rear, tried to match my speed, and even went slower, but I assume there was another car in back of him/her. How am I defensive? I was just stating what I feel, and you replied, and now I'm replying back. Simple as that. Like I said in the last post, we can continue over PM if you are that sensitive.
Annoying thing: Ice cold hands. Solution: Hands into very very very hot water. Sitting on hands. Breathing into hands. Clapping hands.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that you have to do all four things within 3 second and continue 11 times for it to work. You may need to sacrifice a sheep aswell.

2) when something comes out to like $5.01 wtf, a fucking penny? gonna make me get change for a god damn dollar to pay for that damn penny.
3) not being able to find something, so you go out and buy it again, then you come back and realize its on your fucking desk
4) ordering food at a drive through, then after you eat it you realize you're still hungry, but too lazy to turn around and go back and look like an idiot
I hate the people in my class that treat the lecture as an opportunity to ask the professor a million questions and get into a debate. No, we don't give a fuck what you think.
At least a couple people have stated that ugg boots annoy them...
Really?
They just look like very comfortable boots that may be what is in style...
I guess I just don't get it, since I have slippers that seem similarly made. If I could wear those out in public, I would. Unfortunately they are pretty much indoors only if I want them to last more than a week.
I mean, I still do it every day, but it's definitely something I would be happy to do without in my morning routine.
lol I'm with you man. I hate having facial hair since it makes me feel old, even though I'm only 20. I shave at least every 2 or 3 days, which is a bad idea since facial hair grows back faster and thicker :X

New age hippies who claim that I'm "closed minded" when I argue against their bullshit, I just posted this on the youtube thread so I hope this is okay:
Also people that pretend to be independent and anti-consumerist and tell me about it everyday while sipping the London fog or Chi latte they just bought at Starbucks.
Also people who misquote famous, wise, and intelligent people to make their arguments more valid.
Also materialistic people who just don't understand my disregard for material things and are absorbed by their own ego.
When you wake up early in the morning because of the phone or whatever and you feel really tired but you decide to stay awake anyway. Then you still feel sleepy after you've had you cup of coffee and you keep feeling tired several hours later. You go to school or to your work and you just wish you could've gone back to bed. Later on you order take out because you feel too tired to make dinner. Then you just try to stay awake because it's to early to go to bed. So after you have watched a movie or played some starcraft and you get a small headache because you are so tired you think "fuck this, I'm going to bed" and you brush your teeth and turn off the light and lay down in bed and suddenly... you feel awake. AND YOU JUST CAN'T FALL ASLEEP!!!
Seriously, it's 5 am here in sweden and I just can't fall asleep.

Who is this "god"? Pretty sure you meant the flying spaghetti monster.
- Old people smell - People who are uppity - People who are wrong but stubbornly think they're right about common falsehoods and use bad logic to try and argue it
People who don't realize they're the ones being an asshole in a particular situation. Then they'd wage a holy crusade in the belief that they're absolutely right.
For me it is people that get overly zealous in their religious beliefs. For instance, when I was in high school people would oft tell me off for my occasional swear. I understand that swearing is not the wisest idea for everywhere, but to me it is absolutely ridiculous that someone would flat out tell me to never talk to them again just because I said a single four lettered word out of habit that apparently is going to send them straight to hell. People that constantly try to drag me to their church fall into this group as well. I understand that you think you are helping, but 50+ no answers a year should be a very clear indication of my extreme disinterest.
Granted I live in an extremely mormon area (95 percent or so) of Utah so I probably wouldn't have to deal with this quite so much if I just moved and probably would find some other peeve.
I hate unemployed people/housewives who decide the best time to do their grocery shopping for an entire week is between 17:30-18:00 on Mondays when I just ended my working day and all I want to buy is 3 things and go home.
Bought a new Lian-Li PC case the other day with the PSU cage at the bottom of the case. And it just so happens that after 2 hours of putting shit together, the 4 pin ATX cable is too short FML. Now I have to wait till monday to get the extension cable and be stuck with my laptop for the weekend without iccup >.<
people that go to the school library and just spend time there chatting with their friends so they can have a good conscience when they go home but actually didn't study shit, all they did was take up space and time.
people that you know you've seen before at parties or was a friend of a friend etc, and you meet in school but you're too fucking tired to initiate conversation since you do it every god damn time and wish they would speak instead but they don't, so you make eye contact but dont talk and this awkwardness washes over the whole situation.
people that get onto trains and stand right at the fucking entrance blocking everyone behind them.

Can't say that slow-walking people are particularly annoying, as they are usually passable. However, slow-walking groups of people who decide to take up the entire path are extremely irritating, especially when it makes me implicitly look like an idiot when I have to walk through the snow/mud to get around them.
Also, girls who are extremely nice to me and then think it's "weird" when I become interested in them. If you don't want to date me, show some indifference, thank you. Especially since the alternative is that flirting becomes the distinguishing characteristic of romantic interest, which in turn elevates sex as the primary concern of a relationship, which is a belief I want nothing to do with.
Finally, people who can't seem to think for themselves and constantly ask for help without having put in an ounce of effort to solve their problem (i.e. my ex-roommate). Someone mentioned this above, but I don't believe it can be stressed enough.

I'm with you on that one, a lot of the time it seems that my shower has 2 temperature options: ball freezingly cold and skin searingly hot. Saying that though recently it has been very reasonable
The homeless asking me for change or the ones that get mad when I don't buy their Big Issue.
The people from charities or whatever that try and stop you on the street and ask for your money and try and get you to sign things and shit.
The fucking Hare Krsna people that try and stop you in the street and demand money and food while preaching bullshit at you. (yeah i fucking hate people asking me for money and shit in the street, if some normal person asks for directions or for a lighter or whatever though I'm happy to help)
Stupid people.
When people sit right next to you on the bus when there are plenty other free seats.
When my headphones die, happens on a regular basis.
Religion in general.
Being unable to find the remote.
I'm sure there are many others, all I can think of right now lol.
I hate people who dislike political correctness so they can be racist. Not that I like political correctness but just because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean it's ok to be overtly racist.

Anything religious.
How the average person is completely incapable of focusing on meaning instead of words.
People who are majorly anti religious for no reason, I notice that a lot of those people will go out of their way to argue against god. Kinda weird because most religious poeple will not sit and start arguments trying to convert these people yet those non believers will go to extremes to pick fights. Just something I noticed and it pisses me off. ...Thats not what youre looking for is it?
Who is this "god"? Pretty sure you meant the flying spaghetti monster.

Are you serious? That shit causes accidents and changing lanes abruptly without signaling can be a goddamned hazard. I don't know if you drive or not but these kind of traffic delinquencies are most definitely not "minimal" problems. They are real risks that cause damage frequently and for other drivers it can be extremely infuriating. The fact that you are calling people that have a distaste for this douchey fuckers pretty much affirms that you are probably one of the goddamned idiots that present a danger to other drivers and that you yourself are a road hazard.

Doesn't look into them at all... Ideally you'd have eye contact in key points, but look away at other times. I never really thought of it like that.

I always keep a good level of eye contact. If we're having a conversation and you're looking away at something else, I get the feeling you aren't paying attention, which I consider disrespectful. It's not that big of a deal though, because I'm more concerned if you're bored, and I don't want to bore anyone.
I don't stare into people's eyes, I do divert them, but only for a moment.
There's a lot of complaining in this thread; I thought the theme involved less of what other people do that annoys you and just things like losing your remote or something.
I get annoyed when my blankets get moved around when I sleep to the point that there's one little exposed spot that gets me chilly when I wake up. The only thing I can accept being exposed during a frigid night is my head.
Proprietary electronic ports are also a pain. USB exists for a reason. Which brings me to the issue of slightly different mini-USB sizes. I have 2 that are tiny, both different sizes for my camera and phone. FFS, one cord is better than 600.
Also, people bitching about other people's habits are annoying. In sincerity, I'm surprised this thread isn't driving me to rant. Although, some people's habits are actually problematic to others' safety, like talking on a cell phone while driving.
When people step on the heel of your shoe and pretend they didn't. It annoys me because there's not much you can do about it... like you're not gonna demand an apology for that.
When people throw the word "bonjwa" around either seriously or jokingly.
girls who dont use logic in a fight. it drags the fight on even longer. and when i just walk away cuz its a waste of time cuz they arent using logic, they get even more mad.

Agreed, I never leave the house without being showered and groomed. Idk why, just how i was raised, to be clean... Those girls piss me off too, very unattractive even thoughthey could be if they cleaned up.

Not that I force this on other people but I absolutely have to wear socks at all times except in a pool/shower.
I'm still waiting for the reason why.
There is no real logic reason for it. I simply prefer socks around my feet instead of open air. That's just the way I am...though like I said I don't berate or hate people who do not wear socks around the house
Being together with a girl for 3 years, but then just suddenly realizing she's losing interest in you. So you do everything to try and spice things up, but nothing seems to work... it just seems she's slipping further and further away. Yes.. this annoys me everyday
I haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if this has been posted.
I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to driving, but there is one thing that absolutely annoys the hell out of me. It's when you're traveling down a highway or "main" street and some asshat speed turns out of a side street right in front of you like they are being chased by the cops, forcing you to brake or hit them. One would assume they are in a hurry, but then they continue driving along SLOW AS HELL (slower than speed limit/flow of traffic) forcing you to change lanes and pass them. WHY DID YOU NEED TO CUT IN FRONT OF ME SO BADLY THAN??? This is even dumber when no one is behind you, so they would literally have to wait like 2 more secs. FUCK
This happened to me twice when I was driving back from work today. So yeah.
I hate it when people pull up in the lane beside you that is going to end right after the intersection, and try to get in front of you. I'm happy to say that no one has yet succeed, which I contribute to the fantastic engine and the fact that I don't let them know they need to go all out. (I don't creep forward).
I guess that makes it something I love and hate. I love out running them, but I feel offended when they "challenge" me.
Wow this goes along with the above post pretty well!

Vegetarians that eat cheese and eggs have started to genuinely annoy me lately.
?
Vegetarians are not vegans.
Yah. But they should be. Their position makes no sense.
Explain? With some religious vegetarians it makes sense. They aren't contradicting anything. With some vegetarians that are vegetarians for ethical reasons, yeah, there are some contradictions. But there are vegetarians that are vegetarian only for health reasons, and to them, their position makes sense. There are also some people that just simply don't like meat and fish and prefer not to eat them. You're speaking as if vegetarians are all vegetarian for the same reason, which is pretty stupid.
Now, people that call themselves vegetarians but continue to eat fish. That's annoying.
Oh wow i have dyslexia and people bring out the grammar nazi in them, I'm sorry for having a condition that prevents me from being able to spell correctly. Is it the fact that I can't spell or is it really because what i said was describing you and you didn't like it. Oh shit guys, i think it might be the second one.
So is spelling now the definitive way of measuring intelligence? I didn't realize that. I guess i should give up on my Maths degree then at one of the top universities in England, because hey if i can't spell, my arguments are automatically invalid and i must be drastically below the average intelligence in every way.
People that lack a basic understanding of common knowledge.
I guess its not important to know common knowledge, but when it talk to someone about my skitrip a couple of weeks ago in the french alps and then they go: "oh, i had no idea the alps where in france." I just cant fathom how they dont know something like that.

I think its the irony. Get over it.
Yeah i guess, I've calmed down a bit now, but i was just a bit pissed that they seemed to be attacking the intellectual side of it, when spelling isn't really related to intelligence. Yes i look like a moron i realize that Yes i should have spell checked it if i know i have trouble spelling, but when you have dyslexia and you literally have to spell check everything you write in your life, sometimes you cba and can get away with it, obviously i didn't this time. It's the lack of irony that pisses me off, because it isn't ironic, if they responded just by taking the piss out of my spelling i would have apologize and said yes i looked like a dick and have egg on my face, but they didn't, they tried to link it to intelligence which is just retardedly ignorant. Anyways sorry for shitting on this post with nerd rage, ill try and continue it a bit more:
Futher things that annoy me: - Checking my B.net account after they say a new wave has gone out, and still seeing no invite. - When i don't get lurkers out fast enough in tvz after 3 hatch muta, and my exp. gets raped. - When your strings break on your guitar - When you do a full clean install of windows 7 and msn doesn't work, and you find out you have to disable the auto tuning of the TCP stack, how the fuck would a non nerd know to do that? - When you click on one of the sc2 streams and it's a sc1 stream! - When the weekly/monthly password cookie/sessions run out on facebook/email and you have to type them in again.
When a program does not have a loading/working indicator so that when you click something and the program happens to be lagging (due to latency or shitty computer) and you're not sure whether you clicked it so you end up clicking it twice or more, then it all loads at once and fucks everything up.
Mobs in public transit during rush hour Jesus christ people you won't die if you wait for the next train; don't f'ing push me into a guy who smells like shit because he smokes, make me lose my footing and start coughing. I have even walked out of the subway car telling the pusher to fuck off and respect other people more. And he had the nerve to give me a stare, LOL
Inconsiderate smokers kind of annoy me (actually I have a few smoker friends but they're considerate about it, which is absolutely fine by me), especially when they have the audacity to smoke near a building exit/entrance. Hint, there's a reason why smoking is forbidden in this building; it's because the right to breathe supercedes your right to smoke. I don't really mind anymore though, I have gotten used to holding my breath every time I walk past a smoker. Unfortunately, as a result, if I'm caught unawares or just have to breathe in (say while running past a pack of smokers), I get a coughing fit. Thanks for poisoning me, asshole. Weed's cool though.
Lately, overly religious people have been getting on my nerves. And they get upset when I tell them if god really exists he must be one hell of a douche, lol. Even though it's a painfully obvious conclusion if you just look at all the shit happening in the world to good people.
People who put words in your mouth and use that as the basis for their (otherwise terrible) argument. And who won't shut up when you try to point it out. >.<
The fact that I can't buy envy 15 g2 laptop in canada and HP is being a douche about shipping to a cdn address so my only option is to get my friend in seattle to buy it for me and then ship it back across the country, again. T_T
I knew there was something I wanted to post here, but I couldent remember it until last night. I FUCKING HATE when i can hear something that other people around me can't. All the times I say, "do you hear that annoying high pitched noise?".... and the "no" response makes me want to fucking take an axe to a china shop.
I guess I have really good hearing or something because this happens quite often. I can usually hear if a TV is on outside my apartment(without hearing the volume of the tv show) there is a high pitched frequecy it makes. Along with my router, which also has a very low high pitched freq. Anyway it tilts me to no end when I cant figure out what the noise is and I get no help from anyone because they can't hear it. Anyone else have this?

I also hear the high tone from the television (although it is only older ones that have picture tubes, LCD doesn't make it). It drives me nuts.
You choose your own reaction to things. Instead of getting pissed off choose to be happy instead. And really, if there were no inconveniences in life then life would be dull and boring.
This thread just promotes rage (unless people post funny things).

This is simply not the case. The spectrum of human emotion isn't such that it can be cherry-picked at will. Raw emotion is not subject to rationality.
Well you're half right. Your unconscious response is, well, unconscious. But your reaction is a conscious decision. You may feel anger for a split second, but then choose to respond by laughing or not caring and diluting the negative emotion within you. Just force your logical brain to take over and swat away the anger. In other words, chill.

I think everyone here has more than enough anecdotal evidence to know that emotion can overwhelm any ideal rational behavior.

Not really. It's just that when there aren't enough negative consequences to our actions, we chose to indulge our emotions. If someone was gonna die if you nerd raged over losing to a 4 pool, you'd probably chose differently, but if it was a normal situation you'd think that you were just overcome by your emotion. We have a little more control that we think, we just don't really care enough to act differently.

My point was we often can't reason away things like anger, jealousy or fear, no matter how irrational those feelings may seem in hindsight or from the 3rd person.
People who greet you with some random hand gesture thing, like taking your hand in a handshake position and then moving it into a vertical hand grip, pulling away and bumping fists or some shit. Its just stupid and its annoying to try and work out what the hell they want you to be doing with your hands. A handshake is fine.
Vegetarians that eat cheese and eggs have started to genuinely annoy me lately.
?
Vegetarians are not vegans.
Yah. But they should be. Their position makes no sense.
Actually... it does? Vegetarianism doesn't always have to be from a purely moral standpoint. From a nutritional view, vegetarianism is potentially much healthier (In general, compared to the way most people eat). The cliche problem that comes up is protein. With eggs being a near perfect balance of proteins you must get from food, why not eat them?
From a moral standpoint, it is still arguable. Cheese is a product of an animal. So you would have to add milk and wool sweaters to that list as well. Vegetarians don't necessarily have to go all out, they could simply believe in not eating animals themselves. The eggs most people eat (generally) aren't even fertilized.
Now, here's the punch line. Saying vegetarians can't eat chicken eggs en route to retail is the same thing as saying vegetarian women can't menstruate (to an extent). Something doesn't make sense there, I think.
Do people sort of find hugging weird, odd and annoying?
It's such a weird social convention. Hey I'm so happy to see you I'm gonna hold you very close to me and give you a little squeeeeze. It's so common between young people too. Like I'll meet people for the first time ever and they will give me a hug (mostly girls do this) which is kind of silly imo. I just met you, I don't wanna rub up against you.

Cheese is understandable because animals die to produce it (see rennet) and I don't eat it myself, but things like free range eggs or milk from cows that live in a paddock is completely different to killing the animal. If I won't eat McDonalds because it makes you fat, does it mean I won't even call in there to buy an orange juice?
From the 'better for the environment / sustainable living' standpoint I guess drinking milk is a little hypocritical.

I like it when it's just greeting family after a long absence or just a quick hug meeting relatives for the first time in a long while but when friends do it I really dislike it.

Explain? With some religious vegetarians it makes sense. They aren't contradicting anything. With some vegetarians that are vegetarians for ethical reasons, yeah, there are some contradictions. But there are vegetarians that are vegetarian only for health reasons, and to them, their position makes sense. There are also some people that just simply don't like meat and fish and prefer not to eat them. You're speaking as if vegetarians are all vegetarian for the same reason, which is pretty stupid.
Now, people that call themselves vegetarians but continue to eat fish. That's annoying.

ugh i can totally relate to you two, i can hear it as well and it annoys me when people have the tv on with low volume and i hear that fucking annoying sound then i press the power button with anger lol
inconsiderate people. the types that put themselves in harms way. those who ride bicycles in the middle of the damn road when there's more than enough room for them to operate on the side.
Oh my God, people who let me get off the elevator first. WHY?
We are both men. There's no need for me to go first. If you are holding a door for me that's awesome because it makes it easier for me to get in/out, and it shows you're putting effort to make my life easier. It's a nice courtesy.
Letting me getting off the elevator first, conversely, is fucking stupid; you're just standing there! You're not putting in any effort. It doesn't make my life better as if you just fucking got off the elevator I would be off now anyway, instead of this awkward traffic jam you've created.
The worst was last week when two guys both put their hands out at the same time, like I was a fucking red-carpeted movie star or something. Fuck this. It happens about 50% of the time when I'm on the elevator. I need to start just holding my ground and refusing to leave.

Might have something to do that you look like a 12 year old? or maybe they just wanted to check out your ass...
Haha this is great thread. So many things mentioned which annoys me too. Some comments:
People who walk slow.
Hell yes! Driving, starting from traffic lights, too slow is even worse.
People who drive all the way up to the end of a merge lane and then expect me to let them in.
Do you realize it is the best way to do it? Especially in traffic intense towns. I hate it when idiots try to to get in before their lane ends blocking all the cars behind them, some of them being forced to stay on crossroads because of this. Also it slows everything down because everybody tries to eb nice and let idiots in . It would be much faster if just every car let one in but only at the point where one lane ends.
Girls who can't put their text messaging down for more that 2 minutes.
This. In general all people who are can't resist answering their phone/text in the middle of conversation. I avoid such people at all costs.
People who talk on phones while driving piss me off. I do not talk on my phone while driving.
Seriously, I think they should have their driving license invoiced for that.
Women who breast-feed children in the public
Another great one. It should be forbidden. Distasteful.
When people attribute good things to God and bad things to Satan.
Yes. And anything religious for that matter. I fucking hate when people ruin perfect rational interesting conversations by inserting random religious stuff there.

loooooooooooooooool i didnt think you were this humurous chill. thats hilariously true, if its an old lady or any female in general i usually let them go first just to be a gentlemen (like holding a door), but then everytime i do that, i feel like theres someone outside watching me walk behind the female to see if the reason i let her go first was to look at her ass >.> which i WOULD look at but not when other people are judging what kind of person i am. kind of silly to think that when i walk past people on campus everyday that i will never see again. lol
Blister packs. The guy that invented these abominations caused more pain and suffering than adolf hitler. Most succesfull IRL troll ever though, I give him that.
Generic radio rap, stupid people, retarded blog posts.
I need to make an effort to post more constructive things, I'm extremely negative in just about anything........ its sad. I only get enough motivation to post when someone makes me upset... I used to be so helpful on other forums =(

I think the VIZIO brand LCD screens make that noise. One of my relatives has one of those and you can hear the high pitched "screech" coming from it. Sure enough, only one other person was able to hear it besides me and it's really annoying once you notice it.
The one thing that really grinds my gears are people who wake me up before my alarm clock is supposed to. I'm not a morning person and I tell everyone to stay the **** away from me for at least 30 minutes so I can wake up properly.

Solution: Saying "excuse me" and shuffling through sometimes they give you a dirty look because they think the pace they're walking at is fine (even though it isn't) and decide to block you more. At this point you just shove them out of the way as rudely as possible and pretend nothing is wrong.

Running out of milk when you have cereal / running out of cereal when you have milk
The worst is when you've already poured the cereal, to find no milk.
This is truthiest truth that was ever spoken.
Personally, i rage a little bit more when I pour tea, let it sit for a nice long time, come on over, and figure out one of my roommates has managed to drink half a gallon of milk in 10 minutes. Happens way too often and it pretty much ruins my day :|.
I'm annoyed that I'm totally addicted to a clear, colorless liquid that if I don't get enough of, I'll die.
Every single day, I need such a large intake of this liquid. A small amount won't satisfy me. And the worse part is - when I consume it in an attempt to satisfy my addiction - hours later, it just passes out of my body in another form and I need to constantly obtain more just to keep myself going. More more more, every single day!
Oh how I wish I could be free of my affliction! Not one person around me has a solution or substitute to allow me to forgo this substance. The best they can do is suggest other liquids which are simply mixes that add flavor or color. And even though I'm sure that among my friends and acquaintances, many of the also suffer from the same addiction - none of them will join me in forming a support group to work together to overcome our problems. They don't even seem share my concern that this addiction will take over and ruin our lives!
And to top it off - I'm pretty sure I'm going to die even if I'm able to satisfy my daily craving for this cursed matter. Almost everyone I seen plagued by this addiction have died before reaching the precious young age of 85. I expect that I don't have many years left to live.
Oh, that someone would free me from the prison of addiction! That I might be cured and depend on this substance no more.

lol, I agree.
Also people who I don't know very well who sing along with the radio in my car.
Just basically, in a general heading, people's desperate pleas for attention. Like they feel small, or unimportant, so they do shit to attract attention- on purpose- thought its meant to look casual. Makes me rage. Here are some examples:
Cell Phone ringers that are just WAY too loud and happen at questionable times. (ie Shortly after coming up to a cute girl at a register or like 1 minute after walking into a library.)
Parking very poorly or at an angle to prevent other people parking.
Ipods/MP3 players way too loud, to where it sounds like treble hissing sound- though I'm sure they imagine everyone is impressed with how much of a thug or gangster they are... its like, "can you hear that okay, 2pac?"
Loud bass music coming out of a car. Like, shake your fillings type bass. With the bumper rattling? WTF? You know this is to impress women, and you'd be hard pressed to find a woman that's not deaf that wants to get into that car.
Talking WAY too loud at restaurants. Especially about benign things. And stupid conversation in general. This almost ALWAYS includes stories about the past. He said this, we went there, then I did this... you'll find that is 90% of conversation if you listen. Pisses me off. Talk about something abstract, make an observation- in America the idle chatter you overhear will make you want to drive pencils into your ears.
People who leave their windows open so you can see their HUGE TV. It's like great. You watch TV all night every night. I'm so jealous.
People who make a big deal out of "having a day off work". Its Monday, and I'm in my driveway reving up my bikes for like 3 hours listening to Poison and Motley Crue. Please. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
People who "work out" in their garage, with the door open. Awful technique, constantly checking to see if someone is watching how cool they are. Shitty music.
Tough guy. Talks loud. This includes Ultimate Fighting guy, and TapouT guy.
Lastly, bands that play with the garage door open. Usually are the worst. I've been in a band for most of my adult life, and always indoors, with minimal volume as works, and always stop by 9.
WTF ever happened to modesty, subtlety and class.
This thread rules! I really liked a lot of your responses. Especially Polust from Costa Rica... lol your list had me rolling.
This recent influx of people in my life that for some reason believe that everything is a lie and that we have to be one with nature, aka never taking vaccines or medicines but natural herbal remedies.
wtf? I believe in conspiracies too but when you tell me I'm crazy for getting a Hep B vaccine, I really question your judgement. Sure the pharmaceutical companies can be evil, but when you have radiowaves (bad example, I know) bouncing around everywhere, god know's what in your meat at the grocery store etc.etc., I think that it's not as bad to take the necessary precautions.
I didn't get the swine flu vaccine because that shit came out of nowhere and I wasn't sure who to believe. At least Hep B vaccines have had a bit more time in the spotlight and studied more closely.
What recently annoyed me was driving down the road, seeing a hottie in the distance jogging down the sidewalk, you know, tennis skirt and sports bra with a pony tail bouncing to and fro. Then getting closer, they lift their head up, and I see that it's a guy.
I get it, man, you have a confused sexual identity or something and exercising in women's clothing in public makes you feel pretty, whatever. But Jesus, dude, at least shave your goatee.
The double-take about made me have a fatal car crash, intentional or unintentional, and the car behind me swerved a little bit as well. And personally, I wouldn't want the last thought I have on earth to be, "Oh hey, she looks kinda cuT MY EYES OUT WITH A RUSTY SPOON!"
I swear, whoever you are, I hate you so much I can taste it. It has a flavor, and it tastes like---ah, wait, no, I just had a hair in my mouth.
Speaking of which, getting a hair in your mouth is really annoying...

I've thought about this for a long time.
Why don't they make TV removes with stations like wireless phones? You know, you clip it on to recharge it, has a button so that when you lose it, you can press the button and it will beep until you find it.

One) ex girlfriends. They can't stop thinking about you and talk shit amoungst your friends, other girls, and even their new boyfriends so they can become jealous and try to pounce. Why don't they give up and realize that I'm not the one and I'm not perfect ;P
Two) Angry jealous boyfriends. Come on, please step back. I just hugged your chick, what are you going to do about it? "Oh, it was her fault blah blah blah" sweet, so I'll call her up later, peace ;P stupid people, stop inventing affairs in your head that include me.
Three) chicks on drugs. I know that alcohol is social lube, weed is to relax you, pills cure you, but when you go and throw a roche pill in an MD 20/20 while smoking a fatty and randomly hitting the YaYo, you're just asking for attention. Also, angry jealous boyfriends may occur(and even worse, you might have an ex like this). Probably the worst thing on planet earth because your friends might get dragged down into this frenzy and end up talking shit behind your back with your exs.
Four) Dramatic Friends(Divas). I have a bunch of friends who, once I broke up with a chick, fly to her like flies on shit. It's happened so many times I won't even talk about it much. People who supposedly say they are your friends yet hang out with your ex. Not only is it dramatic to have a friend like this because they usually can't talk much without mentioning your ex, it's problematic because I am an anti-drama. I don't need another love triangle to destroy.
Five) Drama. Drama for yo momma. This is the biggest annoyance. I try to kill the drama left and right, as much as I can. It's everywhere though, and sometimes I can't help but cause a little drama and not even know it. So many people have been affected and I can't really count how many but it's a disturbing thought to know that almost everyday, I get talked about. I use the drama to rise to the top, because drama makes humans soft and weak.

I get it, man, you have a confused sexual identity or something and exercising in women's clothing in public makes you feel pretty, whatever. But Jesus, dude, at least shave your goatee.
The double-take about made me have a fatal car crash, intentional or unintentional, and the car behind me swerved a little bit as well. And personally, I wouldn't want the last thought I have on earth to be, "Oh hey, she looks kinda cuT MY EYES OUT WITH A RUSTY SPOON!"

Oh wow I can sympathize, something similar happened to me yesterday.
The way you described it still has me laughing though.
Scenario: - You try to exit an interstate onto another one, or just exiting in general - The exit lanes are backed up by everyone else trying to exit - You patiently wait in line with everyone else, when you see in the rear-view mirror another driver getting impatient, going into a less-crowded lane that ISN'T an exit lane, flooring it until they get to the point of no return to exit, then stop suddenly, somehow expecting everyone that's been waiting in line to hold back and let them in. - At this point you start screaming at everyone in front of you. You feel like Leonidas as you bellow to them "Don't give them an inch!!" - During the screaming process, one of two things happen:
A) Someone lets them in, to which you rage incoherently for who knows how long B) NOBODY lets them in, and you drive by, inches from the car in front of you, waving to the jackass that tried to cut corners with a big "Fuck You!" grin on your face.
This happens to me every afternoon on my way home from work, and I consider it a personal victory when B occurs.

^^ isn't this what you do in #TL all the time?
Usually no unless I'm pretend trolling... pretend trolling is when you pretend you are trolling (huhuhu) and most people realize it's just you being silly except for the people who somehow don't get it unless it's patently obvious and start calling you out for the things you are saying.

This is so plainly wrong and incredibly stupid that I want to rip my eyes out everytime I see it.
How is this incredibly stupid? I mean... yea it's wrong but people speak quickly and say 'would've' to sound like 'would of' all the time... so it's a very understandable mistake to make.
it may sound like "of" when speaking, but this does not justify ripping apart your sentence structure like that while typing. dont get me wrong, i am not a hardcore grammar nazi, but even as a non-native speaker i get cramps in my brain when reading would of.

Do you stand by your claim that saying it is incredibly stupid?

This... You start a conversation with a thought provoking statement and they're like... mhm. Though I can't say that it isn't partially my fault.

You aren't hanging out with socially capable people that want to talk to you then man.
My pet peeves: That really hot girl with huge tits not placing them in my hands.

Bless you sir. Bless you. In some intersections here in California, there is only 1 of those Hexagonal sensors in the ground, and 1 time me and about 6 cars waited through 3 cycles of the light... because this asshole was 3 cars from the intersection and no one was on a sensor, so it kept skippin us. Funny part was that so many people were raging. Someone got out of their car, and I think litteraly explained to the driver about the sensor. Whatever, dude pulled forward, next light we all went. Either that, or he threatened his life.
Another thing that annoys me. Super super hot women when you're out eating with your wife. Like tonight. Kept dropping stuff on the floor. Bending over to get it. Looking back at me, laughing all loud. So amazingly hot. Its like, I'm trying to be married here Women who wouldn't, if you weren't married or with someone, probably be interested in you at all.
