People that always make excuses for why they can't pursue something. "I love X, but Y and Z just don't let me do it." These are the type of people that see something and think it's cool, but are too lazy to actually break up their routine and try something new. If you really loved it or were really interested in it, you would make time and make it work.
People that are too lazy to better themselves.

Speaking of casting, I hate it when casters use the phrase "advancing forward". That sounds so freaking stupid.
Main Entry: advance
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: move something forward, often quickly
Synonyms: accelerate, achieve, bring forward, come forward, conquer, continue ahead, continue on, dispatch, drive, elevate, forge ahead, gain ground, get ahead, get green light, get there, get with it, go ahead, go forth, go forward, go great guns, go places, go to town, hasten, launch, make headway, make the scene, march, move on, move onward, move up, press on, proceed, progress, promote, propel, push ahead, push on, quicken, send forward, skyrocket, speed, step forward, storm
Is it so hard to learn what "advancing" means if you're gonna use it 10 times per match?

waking up at 9am just to attend a 1 hour tutorial...

people saying "bro" - yeah, I get it, you're trying to be cool by not being cool
white suburban kids acting/dressing all ghetto - newsflash, closest you have gone to being ghetto is seeing tupac video on mtv
politicians trying to get the "average joe" vote by pretending to bye just like most people - whenever I see a politician kissing a baby, I think why in the hell do parents allow some strange middle-aged dude kiss their child.
I could go on but it's late

People who are too butthurt about what grinds their gears and bitch about it grind my gears.

peeing next to tall people at urinals -__-

Bullshit. Unless you're in serious economic hardships (working multiple jobs, basically only have time for work, sleep, and maybe a sliver of a social life), if you really love something, you are capable of pursuing it to some degree. It doesn't even have to be massive. The annoying part is when people just complain and say, "Oh, I have homework to do all the time" or "I just don't have time with all the things I do". or "Oh, I just don't have the money". It's fine if you have a child and two jobs to work or something like that, but if you are lazy and don't do your homework until 8 in the evening or do 18 other things and then complain that you can't go out and do something else, then it's your own damn fault; there are plenty of options to look into, but complaining about not being able to do something without even looking into the options doesn't help.

Oh come off it, it has nothing to do with being 'too cool', and it doesn't make you a hipster. People get so caught up in identifying as part of a group that they lose sight of actual arguments regarding particular issues. They focus so much on what the rest of the people they share a group with want and making sure they can identify with it that they fail to really think about the issues. We need more thought and less band-wagoning when it comes to politics, and the concept of political parties is a serious problem in and of itself.

This is absolutely true, but the concept of political parties isn't a problem. What they do (specifically in the U.S.) can be a big problem, but the concept itself is natural and inevitable. Groups exist in every facet of life, and it's a natural human instinct to group people together like this. If I say that I'm a Social Democrat, it gives people a rough approximation of what most of my political stances are. Why, if asked what my political leanings are, would I take time to describe my opinion on every political issue when I can just say that I am liberal (or more specifically a Social Democrat)?

It's no more difficult to describe yourself as "moderately left in support of civil liberties" or "socially left wing" than it does to say social democrat. The difference is however, in your case, you posit someone coming up to you and asking your general political leanings. I'm referring to people who go out of their way to make sure you know their political identity as a member of a party, who put a specific party down when they register to vote (rather than independent), and stop thinking about their views and just stick with their party. It's like the assholes who just do whatever FOX news or MSNBC (Fox is way worse of course) tells them to do.
If someone asked you your position on abortion, as an example, would you respond with "I'm a democrat" or "I'm a republican"? Of course not, but sadly there are actually a lot of people who do.

If someone interrupts me i feel an almost uncontrollable urge to get up and strangle them until they are nothing more than a lifeless piece of mass.
But i usually just give them the "what the fuck u idiot?" stare
