Lately I've been telling them that it's easier for me to work with privacy and that I'd like them to step back, but seriously, that's not even something I should have to say. Seems like basic courtesy to me @_@

Haha okay work related? (That does sound kind of annoying btw, maybe they just want to help or try to learn about what it is that you're doing? Have you tried asking them "can I help you with something?" lol)

People who answer their phone without saying "hello", listen to what it is you have to say then hang up when you've finished talking or some time before without ever speaking themselves.

Sometimes I won't explain why I'm calling I'll just keep saying "hello, can you hear me?" but they will just there for ages listening to me saying "hello, hello?" without saying "hi, what do you want? etc"... I put the phone on mute and I hear them listen for a while and then they hang up once I'm satisfied that I've gone away. Such a waste of time and so frustrating lmao.

I've started phoning people on mute now so FUCK YOU people that do that!
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

It is not really big, but recently, spamming 15x insignificant #hashtags everywhere on social media statuses/pictures really annoys the fuck out of me

Lots of other things too, but this is what comes first in my mind.

What annoys me the most by far is people pretending to be gangster/hardcore when you know that in fact they are just loud mouthed little pussies, but still get a lot of respect and attention from people who apparently don't know better.

People who put clothing on cats/dogs. God damn it, this is so silly. Seriously, I am very sceptical as to the benefit these animals get from having some stupid jacket/shirt on themselves when they already have fur (unless they are totally devoid of it...). It does not look fun, cute, or cool--it is just really stupid.

School assignments involving activities with no connection or benefit to the main topic being taught. An example would be: read X amount of pages from the book, and draw a picture to go along with what you read. Fuck this--it is not art class (which is also forced upon students for no reason even if they have no interest in it) and it is not a pertinent factor in strengthening your knowledge of the topic, it's just something that wastes your time when after school you'd rather be laddering or doing something else baller.

The ridiculous, strict nature of schools in the U.S. (which is accentuated further by how easy suing someone is in the U.S.) frustrates me daily. The terrible quality of cafeteria food provided in schools despite the fact that you pay for it is also very annoying.

People who have incorrect information and refuse to adapt to knowledge provided in an argument you give them. I remember telling someone that flamingoes are often pink due to their heavy shrimp diet (true), and her argument was literally "humans can eat watermelons, etc.. without becoming pink, so why should flamingoes become pink from eating shrimp?". There was no more arguing after that; she just ignored any further reasoning.

People who think caffeine is terribly bad for you. Stop it; you are dumb.

People who have a very low income but still buy two cars, have a dog, etcetera. What the hell? If you can barely/not pay your bills, why the hell do you have two cars and a dog? On that note, dogs annoy me a lot in general.

People who are against video games and deem them violent/a complete waste of time (I'm mainly annoyed at this because I play SCII a lot which is a gradual development and takes a lot of skill and dedication) but promote sports and shit like that. Honestly, sports are just as much of a waste of time albeit for the fact that they qualify as excersize. People who deem any game with sub-par graphics worse than one with better graphics. Ex. Brood War vs CoD; you tell me which one is better, and I'm pretty sure the game you choose is not graphically endowed.

People who BM on ladder. You're so dumb; what the hell? You lost a game because I was better then you, why do you have to be a dick and swear and call my race OP, etc?

I have tons more and I might expound upon this post once I recall them. Looking back at the post, I hate a lot of stuff, lol.

People who get offended real easily

When people criticize those who have a right to be offended as childish or can't take a joke.

Seems like a matter of the customer wanting to know what exactly you're doing.
To be fair, you are a stranger in someone's home. I'm sure they understand you're a professional and whatnot but these days, trust is tough to come by with what you see in the media.

I don't mind the standing over the shoulder part (same job, cable tech) just so i know they won't think i stole anything. i hate showing up and someone answers the door and is expecting me, but doesn't know what the problem and can't contact the spouse or whoever to find out exactly why im there.

Living in Shanghai and dealing with these fucking plebs is getting really annoying.

When the sidewalk is n people wide and a group of n (usually girls) decide it is acceptable to walk side by side blocking the whole sidewalk usually with their faces buried in their phones. Then they get pissy when I try to move past them.

People that get on the subway and refuse to move towards the center of the train. Seriously what the fuck.

People that stand on the left side of the escalator when the right is for standing and the left is for walking.

People that sit on the outside seat on the bus and simply move their knees a little to let you in instead of standing up. Then they get all pissy cuz you brush against them when you go in. Why didn't you take the window seat then?

Chewing with their mouths open.

People that try to secretly cut line thinking you won't notice. Like dude I'm right here. This is incredibly common and it's amazing that it's usually like grown ass adults doing it. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Like I have to stand with my dick up the ass of the person in front of me. Which leads me to my next point.

The person standing behind me in line always has his dick up my ass.


THIS X10000

I hate fucking dealing with this shit, I live in NYC and when I have to walk through the touristy areas I swear it makes me hate people.

I fucking hate when people don't fucking move out of the way when they are walking past you on the street. I feel like "I" "ME" always has to dodge 2 feet to the right because some dumb fuckwad either isn't paying attention or is just an idiot. If I don't dodge I swear I would smash my shoulder into their face. Every time this shit happens I always wonder what would have happened if I didn't move? I want to replay the moment and just suddenly stand still to see what they do. FUCKERS

When you play as either terran or zerg and you're spam boxing workers at the beginning of game and accidentally press s when you select the workers instead of your cc or hatch and they all stop >_>
Its worse when the opponent comes in to scout and sees them all stopped and derping around lol.

I updated my list with my supervisor who sucks up to my clueless shift-leader. Both guys have close to zero understanding of work we do and my supervisor has no ethics or honor at all.
My supervisor called me out about high relocation number I made and I explained to him that they were located to wrong places by others and I relocated correctly and he checked and confirmed it but when shift leader came he said that he talked to me but I didn't clear up things (ass kisser at his finest), when I'm standing right behind him and hear all that crap. I had to ask a manager who actually does work with me to confirm my case to them because they played a "if it repeats - ur fired" song to me.
Point is - my performance is so damn high that they are afraid of me and today called me out for making other people job (correcting their mistakes) and said I was doing it only to "cheat" and boost my performance to "steal" bonus money - clueless suckers never graduated from kindergarten, because out of many lazy asses we have out there drifting my shift.... they decide to call the one who actually does it all and works hard for every penny.


Also I love kids/babies and was babysitting bunch of them constantly but I just hate when a mother decides that you want to talk to a baby (who can't really speak yet) while you are talking to her. "grrllllaahhhmrrrrl aguu" and while baby "talks" mother translates in the background. Seriously I play and talk a lot with kids but forcing this isn't fun for me.

LOL pyrogenetix

I definitely know where you're coming from there with your rant on Shanghai, from the times I've visited >.<

Hm for me, I guess arrogant people really annoy me. I actually try to go out of my way to be as humble/modest as I can be (even though I can definitely feel a bit prideful at times) and people who are falsely humble (read: fishing for admiration/compliments) or just straight-up arrogant grind my gears.

Also I grind my gears when I can't focus on stuff or get distracted doing stupid things

LoL, that's right, LoL, it's a fucking shit game and it has one feature which I cannot stand that is free-to-play, since it brings so many kids to play that can't afford a proper and a good game, also people who say that "LoL is the best game ever hurr fucking durr it's also free-to-play."

The game is shit
Free-to-play makes it sound even worse in my ears
It's boring as fuck to watch
Yes I do understand what's going on in the game I used to play it for some time with my friends until we all realized how terrible it is and that while I despise most A-RTS even DOTA2 is still playable while LoL is just an enormous steaming pile of shit game made for children.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Hurting the people you love. It is fan-fucking-tastic when the girl I love, have been in a serious relationship for a near year now has to be hurt by me without me doing anything. I mean like just fuck, why can't I have my cake and eat it too. If I stay in town, I can get a full scholarship to a lackluster institution or a not-full to a better institution but not nearly what I am capable of getting into, and be with her. On the other hand I can be long distance and HOPE that the girl I love will stay with me as I choose a school over her. I can't take this, I want both. I want her more, and yet I can't let other people down by choosing only her. Fuckity Fucks. Also yes I know I sound like a total bitch about this, but hey, life is life.
