Obnoxious frat boys. My school is littered with them. Not saying they're all bad, in fact when you get them by themselves they can actually be really nice guys. Something about that group mentality turns them into the biggest douches in the world. Can't stand it.

Playing HoN and ending up with a so called "smurf account player". 3 times in a row.

Living on the other side of the world from my best friend.

Sweating immensely, both due to being unfit and having a higher than normal body temperature.

Not daring to start laddering, due to always thinking that "I need more time so I can put more focus on to it".

Being paranoid as shit regarding my best friend and thinking I will scare her away.


Well, with her already living on the other side of the planet i don't really think you can scare her any 'further' away.

I fucking hate it when someone tells you that you are being defensive. It is a catch-22; you can't say, "I'm not being defensive" because then they go, with this exasperated smirk on their shithead faces, "WOW, look at this guy... SO defensive." And of course the only other option is to concede, and fuck that I am not gonna concede to some dumbass fuckheaded shit who thinks that because he watched the show "Lie to Me" (which is a good goddamn show) suddenly he is this fucking PhD in psychology.

Also therapists. I've had my fair share and and I've come to the conclusion fuck them.

I know right? People say the stupidest things and then you throw a pencil at them. Next thing you know, you're in counseling for anger management.
I somehow get pissed off by obvious pranks. One day, I found my door open. I found a whoppie cushion on my chair and a audio recorder under my desk.

If you were attacking you, like you're attacking me, wouldn't you get defensive?

So, do you actually want me to respond to what you're saying, or agree with your assertion (aka pathetic ad hominem)

^^Those are a couple decent responses I've come up with to that over the years. Either way, "you're being defensive" kind of breaks Godwin's Law and is really passive-aggressive. Passive-aggressive is really hard to deal with if played properly. :/

Preach it, Reverend!

The defensive thing is just another bullshit tactic people use: when you can't handle the argument, attack the opponent directly. It's hard to communicate with a lot of people because they are usually so full of shit you want to pull out your hair. What they lack in intelligence they more than make up for in cheap manipulation tactics and ego trips.

What grinds my gears? Facebook! Stroke-stroke-stroke-stroke-stroke. Followed by: drama-drama-drama-drama. It's funny from afar (having no facebook myself), but then THEN in an actual conversation with people in an ACTUAL social situation (party, dinner, bar), people talk about facebook, or the stupid bullshit drama they're wrapped up in -- on facebook! No wonder no one cares they have no right to privacy anymore in America. Everyone just LOVES to tell us every stupid little thing they've thought or done! Similar complaints regarding twitter. Then my friends and gf think I'm crazy, if not weird, for not having a facebook. Do these people actually listen to themselves? Aww this thing is ruining my life and it has way too much power over me! You should have too! One of us! One of us!

LOL, thanks.


Another thing that grinds my gears is when people driving Civics and the likes feel the need to show off in front of someone driving a real sports car.
