Oh I could name a few.

People that claim to want smaller government, but that government should also be big enough to control all social behaviour that they don't necessarily agree with.

Drivers in California that seem to relish in the fact that they make those around them go through a daily struggle to avoid becoming an outright racist/sexist (at least on the subject of driving).

People that ask to borrow money after you've only had a single conversation with them, that mostly revolved around them bleeding their heart out to you.

Myself for biting my nails whenever I'm thinking. After 27 some-odd years of it, my fingers are a bombsite.

People that volunteer me for urgent projects by proxy, but leave me out of the thankyou emails once it's done.

Those fucking Hyundai Santa Fe's with the brake light strip at the top of the back window that also happens to be TINTED. You've got FOUR perfectly good red lights in the back on the sides. Are those fucking things just for show?

That nobody makes a Priest and a Rabbi joke. I mean c'mon, those jokes are easy, but they just faded away. How about this; a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar and the priest says hahaha you are a jew! I mean sure, it is not much, but at least I tried!

Also, I have a few friends who act all solemn and listen to really sad music and talk about how deep it is. They think they are so goddamn smart and above everybody else, when really they just sit on their asses and complain about how bad the world is. WE ALL KNOW THE WORLD SUCKS, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF NOTICING AND THINKING YOU ARE SUPER DEEP FOR IT. I am sorry I am raging so hard, but today in particular it really pissed me off, they just don't stop, and if i told them what i thought, they would just think me stupid and continue. God it really gets to me sometimes.

Oh yeah and people who call Starcraft shitty and stupid before ever trying it. Liek my sister, who calls it a major piece of shit even though she has never even seen it played. COME ON!

And lastly, people who refuse to watch MyLittlePony; Friendship is Magic before they have even tried it. Ohhhhh that irks me so!

Occupy Wall Street.

RABBLE RABBLE. We're protesting!!! We're going to make a difference! We're going to BRING INEQUALITY DOWN!!!

all talk, no action, I don't even think they know what they want. Their general message has been take away money from wealthy businessmen, force people to employ them, and "prosecute corrupt businessmen" although they can never name anyone who should be prosecuted and hasn't been.

People who argue about religion.

Yes there are crazy chrisitan/muslim/jewish/etc/etc people out there. There are also crazy atheists out there too. Both sides have convincing points and retarded points, get over it people. No one is fucking smart enough to understand the universe, and there also no realistic proof that their is a floating man in the sky.

Maybe god is real. Maybe our universe is a grain of sand on a beach somewhere. Maybe life is an illusion. Stop fucking trying to impose your beliefs on others.

That being said, I'm fine with debates about religion, and discussing certain ideologies, but when people start saying "YER GOIN TO HELL FOR THAT" or "HELL DOES NOT EXIST FOOL" without any clear or logical argument, it pisses me off.

I really fucking HATE people who own dogs and let them poop outside and then don't pick it up. It's like they are too fucking stupid to realize that dog shit isn't at all healthy or good for the environment. I hate those people and don't think they should be able to own dogs. I hate them so fucking much. Lazy disgusting bastards.

Not a lot of things bother me, but I have one big pet peeve. People believing something (factual, nearly all the time) incorrect, then when you correct them they act incredulous and say "No I'm pretty sure I'm right". But when you present them with good reasoning or evidence they just won't accept it, like they've been personally insulted and now they have to defend whatever dumb shit they where spouting earlier. I'll give a prime example, one time I had a Facebook argument with someone because they told me there was life on Mars after I said to someone else "There's no known life in the universe other than here". So they tell me "Yes actually, there are plants on Mars and that's a form of life". They then back it up with a photo that i'd had seen years earlier of what looked like trees on Mars but where actually Ice deposits (I think it was). Well anyways, after telling them that they where wrong, it's an optical illusion and NASA themselves clearly state this next to the photo in their archives they get defensive as hell. They then post a link to a new age site with an interview with a sci-fi author (Can't remember who), saying he thinks there is life on Mars, as if that's fucking evidence. And another NASA article about how it would be possible to grow plants artificially in greenhouses on Mars. So I destroy both their link with flawless logic, and expose the multiple logical fallacies they made, then they drop the be all end all of logical fallacies. "IT WOULD BE STUPID AND IGNORANT TO ASSUME ITS NOT THERE, IF WE HAVEN'T SEEM THEY THEY MUST BE THERE, IT WOULD BE RIDICULOUS TO ASSUME OTHERWISE". At his point I just didn't even know what to say, and my night was ruined with their stupidity. I posted links with sources explaining why they where wrong along with an explanation and gave up.

Quite a few things grind my gears. I suppose it all boils down to two things, the faults of humankind and how people think celebrities have EXTREMELY important opinions. They are ordinary people who just got rich/famous. They can be just as stupid as anyone else.

I am generally pretty tolerant of things I think shouldn't be happening, but am not so opinionated about them to get angry. One thing that does annoy me is the huge fads that come and go through school. I like the feeling of being individual and to keep my individuality through the clothes I wear and the music I am into. I am a huge nerd but I still have a fashion sense so to say haha. It really annoys me when I see a band I really like being linked on facebook by some teeny-bopping jock or one of those slutty girls at my school. It also really annoys me how things can be "gay"- labelled by the jocks- but once one person that is popular starts to do it/use it/like it, it suddenly becomes cool for everyone who thinks they are part of the 'in-crowd' to start this. A prime example of this is recently in my school people have started the disgusting habit of growing rats-tails. I am not saying every rats-tail is disgusting, but these ones are just filthy. It all started when one idiot did it as a joke, now every second guy in my year has a rats tail. Also one kid got a skateboard for his birthday, and after stating that everyone that rode a skateboard was a fag, they decided to skate to school, next thing you know everyone is buying a skateboard and skating to school. Pop music also annoys me.

tl;dr-I hate hypocrites, sell-outs and pop music. lol

It really grinds my gears when someone makes a point, usually just an opinion and then they feel like it is so important they go....

1000% of the time, no one pays attention to your arrogance and the thread continues to have an actual debate on the subject. seriously GTFO with that shit

Thank you for your time ^_^
