Hippies. More specifically new age hippies who believe in alternative medicine, ghosts, qi, energies, dolphins with superpowers, homeopathy, psychics, crystals and just about every piece of crap as long as there is no science backing it up.

At the same time they'll be the first to refute just about anything that actually has scientific backing based on their own nonsensical, made up arguments like GMO, vaccines, evolution and just about anything else.

Seriously, fuck you.

People that don't fucking try and figure out shit. People are always looking for answers right away or results without applying themselves.

Exactly what I was going to post.

Something else. Idiots. For 1st, 2nd, and every grade through sixth I had to deal with fucking morons who can't figure out algebra, and of course the intelligent kids in the class have to do homework because these retards can't figure out Pre-algebra. I switched to homeschool and I have to say, I can do SOOOOOOO much more work because I don't have them bogging me down. I blasted through 7th and 8th grade in one school year. TFG.

I'm in a pickle where someone offers to help on something. I give him clear instructions on what to do and how to specifically do it.

That person doesn't do it properly and creates more work for me to do because of his inability to follow simple repeated directions.

I think the part that pisses me off is that he wants appreciation for his efforts. I should be grateful because he took the time out of his day to really try and help me, but he deliberately or ignorantly completely didn't do it right or follow my clearly written instructions.

I've never mixed with so much guilt and fucking hatred.

people who are stuck in their point of view

racists, homophobes and creationists are a big source of my hatred

politicians, especially after reading up on the current us situation

lack of social responsibility and selfishness of corporations etc. disregard for human rights stuff like that. it's amazing what profit can do to people, christ. reminds of the south park episode where people try to steal alien gold and it turns out it was test. basically human nature pisses me off

I hold so much disdain for armchair financial analysts, just today I had someone tell me that Buffet's speech on the market was completely incorrect, and that the only way jobs would come back to the US economy is if the government nationalized oil production.. I wanted to strangle the guy.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

People who think they should get special privileges for no reason other than the fact that they are them. Self-entitled people piss me off to no end.

Same with people who take pride in ignorance. Since when was opening a book such a terrible thing?
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

People who jump from one gameing community to the other to make a quick buck. Especially the ones whom think they are entitled to it.

Also, Casters that shouldnt cast.

(MOST) Enlisted (as in not officers) low ranking United States Marines.

Some of them are cool (I like to think of my brother as one of them), but I live in a town next to a marine base where they are all over the place, and so many of them are so damn full of themselves it's ridiculous. They join the Marine Corps to fill their lust for excitement and all that and then act like they deserve to sit on a throne.

Also people who refuse to even humor others' points of view on things (basically closed-minded people), and those kids in high school that drink and do drugs, then take a few lessons of martial arts or mma and act like they can and will beat the shit out of anyone if they give them a weird look lolol.

this is a pretty big one for me. I really dislike people who are stuck in their points of view even when the right information is right infront of them.

Teenagers, the cancer of internets. Theres 2 kinds of em which specially piss me off:

First the kind of teenagers who are just plainly too stupid to even use computer and still somehow manage to post their clueless shit to forums, while thinking they are experts of every subject, solely because they CAN post to forums. These are the morons who, at best, post into every "tips to new players" -thread with "tips" which everyone with somekind of common sense has already figured out.

Second the kind of teenagers who consider trolling as their cool and trendy hobby.

Everyone has seen both kinds, since they are everywhere these days, specially on every gaming releated forum. Luckily TL is moderated more than most of the other gaming releated forums, and the trolls get banned from here. Now if only stupidity would atleast hurt..

There are a lot of real world things that annoy me - but i come to TL as a break from all those things..

So i am going to have to go with people that make stupid, annoying, redundant, ill-thought threads that shit up the forum .. Mainly those that violate my profile picture :p

That really grinds my gears.

Well people who eat soup with a dessert spoon.

People who are really good at a class but every time they get their result for a test they stress out because they think they are going to fail, but they end up getting like 95%.

People that complain about being really hungry, but they don't eat, or attempt too.

And for something Starcraft related
when my friends who had never played brood war and dismiss it because it has terrible graphics
say that way easier that sc2.
You need like 200apm just to be mediocre at bw
the French are effectively gypsies with a steady income

ESEA and how every little p.o.s. in a pug there does nothing but talk shit even when they get very few kills themselves. Being an RTS centered gamer I feel like every FPS I touch is just full of really crazy team mate bashing and vulgar humor/mic spamming that never ends. I'm writing this just coming out from the PayPal site cancelling my subscription to them, I'd rather my money as toilet paper than contribute to punk ass kids. (Just noticed this feels a lot like the letting out anger thread, but without the spoilers lol)

TL mods - mental midgets abusing power to suit their biases
People who don't signal when they drive.
Grammar noobs.
WoW players and other carebears
People offended by profanity. I can't count the number of times some wuss got all offended because I, in a jovial mood, said something that included a "fuck" or a "shit" or a "bitch".

Reading-comprehension, straw-mans, OT counter-arguments: This one is a big one for me. I don't want to be a total dbag, but seriously, I am one smart motherfucker, but its like my posts are invisible or something from the amount people disagree with me. Most people can't even read, let alone comprehend, let alone stay on topic, let alone counter an argument that I actually made. It is the most frustrating thing for me when I post a well-reasoned, well supported comment, and then the entire thread of assholes tells me to stop trolling and proceeds to explain in detail, all the reasons I would be wrong if I was making the arguments they invented. I can even repeat my position 3-4 times, and still have people accusing me of random shit. I started to realize that they are actually too stupid to understand what I am saying. They can't even disagree, because they are literally too dumb to even get to the point where disagreement is an option.

People with an over-inflated sense of self worth grind my gears. They normally aren't as smart as they think they are. People that are genuinely smart but that have no people skills also grind my gears. You'd think geniuses would realise that being well rounded is important and learn some people skills so that they can mingle with the mediocrity that they are surrounded by in a way that creates less friction.
