Things that make you go GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things that send your blood pressure through the roof.

Is it whenever you are in a particular supermarket there are hundreds of people stacking shelves and no-one on the tills?

Is it the sucking noise that car mechanics do when you ask them for a quote?

People who don't wash their hands in the loo *coughmencough*?

People who don't use doggie bins?

Post it here. Get it off your chest. Shout scream and rage. from tellers to bureaucrats, suethors to traffic wardens.

The only rule is that you don't say I hate [livejournal name]. Celebs however are fair game.


People who don't know the width of their own cars
People who give way when it's THEIR right of way
People who use their headlights for a "go ahead" signal
People who don't have indicators on their cars (or so it SEEMS)
Lawyers
People who mistreat animals.

People who don't have indicators on their cars (or so it SEEMS)

Is that the Brit way of saying "turn signal"? (Why does everything sound so much cooler in Brit-glish?) Because I hate that, too. It takes TWO SECONDS to turn it on omg.

I hate:
People who feel entitled to anything.
People who take no responsibility for their actions.
Cardboard
People who let in those morons who drive up the lane even though they know we're all going to have to merge. (THIS IS NO TIME FOR SELF-SACRIFICE!)
Pretentiousness
Alex Summers (Havok) from X-Men (HE IS SO USELESS!)
People who take themselves or anything else too seriously
lack of air conditioning
heat
summer
bright sunlight (see a theme?)
Flights that are not direct
Drivers who don't stop at crosswalks

[erastes.livejournal.com]

but.... *lip wobble...*

You had a pretentious badge... I issued them for all literoticans...

*G*

Which one was Havoc?

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

Women who hover a foot above the toilet seat and pee all over the seat

People who don't bathe and have a force field of B.O. extending three feet around them

Fanatics, religious or otherwise--basically, anyone who thinks their religion/diet/hobby/etc. is the One True Way and constantly lectures me about how crappy my life must be without it

I'm with you--anyone who mistreats animals

The Umbridge-like sugary tone everyone in this town uses when they want to be passive-aggressive

People who are rude to customer service employees

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Nod nod nod. I'm with you there. Specially the passive agressive stuff.

JUST YELL! Don't ask me how I feel - don't try and turn the argument around at me, coz I'm likely to KILL YOU.

[bloodrebel333.livejournal.com]

People who are rude to employees.
People who deny the Holocaust ever happened.
People who speak and eat at the same time, or eat with their mouths open.
HOMOPHOBES.
Right-wingers who hang onto me in bars for hours and drunkenly crush my feet and my beliefs.
George Walker Bush.
Good writers who think they're too good to talk to their readers/old friends.
The type of people who believe that "different = bad".
Rednecks.
The Church. (for many things, one of them being how they killed Hypathia.)
People who hide behind their God/religion.
Scientology.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Now you see, this is why I love my flist.

Agreed on ALL of it.

Walker? Seriously? hahahahaha!!!

[sm-malfoys.livejournal.com]

People who take two parking places.
people who ask what is wrong with your kid.
People who wont put things where they belong (hubby)
telemarketers.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

OMG yes. "Ring Ring" "hello" "Good afternoon, and how are you today."

*hangs up*

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Icon lurve btw.

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

Telephone related:
- being hung up on (this is so rude! I see red when it happens.)
- Callers who, when given the options of 'May I take a message' or 'Would you like to call back later' elect to be put on hold. (Our office does not have an assigned person to answer calls, ALL employees regardless of what they are doing need to answer calls so if I am in the midst of coding something I do not want someone on 'hold' beeping me every two minutes!)

Traffic related:
- Drivers that bully or intimidate cyclists with their vehicle. (Especially the 'bump', trying to drive the cyclist into the gutter , or making a right hand turn IN FRONT of the cyclist immediately to your right! I nearly took someone's rear light out for that.) You are piloting enough metal to kill me! Be responsible and don't be a dick!

Public Transporation related:
- Teenaged girls who feel they can cut in the queue to be first on the bus. Sorry little missy, your perky tits and exposed flesh do NOT tickle my testosterone enough that I'm willing to let you on first so I can gawp at your ass.
- People who sit on the aisle seat of a two person seat leaving the window seat empty, just so nobody will sit next to them. This is closely related to the person who will sit by the window then place their bag on the aisle seat for the same reason. I am now old enough that I feel authoritative enough to ask people to move so everyone who needs a seat can have one. If it is a teenager I delight in trying to strike up a conversation just to watch them squirm.
- People who do not give up their seat, especially when they sit at the front of the bus, to the elderly, ladies with baby strollers, wheelchairs or other folk who look like they need a seat.
- People who speak loudly on their cell phones when taking public transporation.

People related:
- Chronic victimhood. Stop externalizing blame, dammit!
- Outright bragging, especially when it is barely warranted and everyone around the person is inching away, desperately trying to find an exit from the conversation.
- Treating waitstaff or other people whose jobs are to make your time enjoyable like they are beneath your contempt.
- My mother.

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

Er... that list looked a lot shorter when I was making it?

[hansbekhart.livejournal.com]

kethlenda beat me to the peeing on the toilet seat one, but I'll reiterate it because that is seriously the most annoying thing ever. Along with just plain not flushing because dude, use your foot if the germs freak you out. That shit is GROSS.

People who wait for an elevator when they know it's going to be crowded, cram themselves in and then go down ONE FLOOR.

Vegetarians. Not vegans, because most vegans take it seriously and if you're that dedicated to a lifestyle, you're probably not going to be waving it in people's faces. But vegetarians, with all the little rules and reasons, like I don't eat beef but I eat fish and chicken and pork and sometimes beef if I feel like it but you're EVIL for eating those POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS.

Paris Hilton.

People who wear those one color trendy track suits. Especially if they're velour track suits. Good god. That wasn't even cool back in '97, what the hell are you doing wearing it now?



Obviously needed to get some stuff of my chest! Thanks for the opportunity :D.

[tammylee.livejournal.com]

Especially if they're velour track suits.
Especially 'low-rider' velour track suits because nothing says 'style' like 'asscrack'.

[liriaen.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm sure I could fill pages once I start to really think about it but... these must do, for now...
- people who park on Frankfurt's pot hole riddled excuses for bike paths.
- Frankfurt's pot hole riddled excuses for bike paths.
- people who request exactly the same song on the radio that's already blaring on heavy rotation. Plus: requesters of Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69" and/or any Bon Jovi.
- people who put ideology (no matter which one) over humanity. Over compassion.
- this is really unfair, I know, but it sets me off: when elderly people make smacky noises with their dentures. (I know, earning bad karma for this one).
- flakes and liars, as in "really, I sent it express mail."
- mails and posts that brim with emoticons to the point of absurdity.
- people who mutilate library books with ball- or fountain pen, marker, and inane comments. ARGH! ARGH!
- and... oh gracious, I'll simply cut this here. Cut! Cut! :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Don't stop!

I admit (oh the shame) to "It's in the post..."

But omg yes, I can relate to "It's summer, let's listen to CRAP"

[orange-bastard.livejournal.com]

People who go screaming through a parking garage in their giant SUV. It's dark in there, hard to see, and people are walking around everywhere. What better place to cream a pedestrian? Makes me yearn for a nail gun to flatten their tires....

People that are cruel to animals and people.

Cheap tippers.

People that have more kids than they can afford. The kids may be loved, but they suffer in a lot of other ways.

Politics. It's always a bunch of old grey-hairs running the show, trying to prove who's dick is bigger. I think essentially that's what it boils down to.

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

I've been saying for years that, instead of having wars, when old grey-hair A and old grey-hair B get pissed off at each other, we throw them in a steel cage and let them fight it out. Screw this sending the young to die business.

I'm with you on the kids thing all the way. I'm one of six, and my parents couldn't afford shit. (Pardon my French.) I wouldn't give up any of my sibs for anything--don't get me wrong--but gah, crappy food and three-years-ago's ill-fitting clothes and a house that leaked like a sieve and had horrid plumbing? Not how I would have chosen to spend my formative years.

[aunty_marion]

Funny, I was thinking of doing one of those 'open letters' just earlier today...

The people who:-

- can't be bothered to put a new toilet roll on the holder when the old one runs out.

- think that leaving a teaspoon or cup in the sink for several days means it's 'been washed' and is therefore 'clean'. No, it isn't!

- finish the sugar or tea or whatever and can't be bothered to go and get the key to the supplies cupboard and refill the jar; and put the carton of milk back in the fridge with half a teaspoon left in it and don't get a new one out.

- say 'please enter your PIN number' - don't they know what P I N stands for????

And the way whichever queue you choose at the post office/supermarket/bank, it's always the slowest.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. and people who think that taking your mayo/ice/whatever from the work fride is ok.

[andsaca369.livejournal.com]

Atrocious events (9/11 being a prime example) being used as a crutch or an excuse for further depravity.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh yes.

And television/radio stations who RE-RUN those events every year.

Governments who will not invade a country just because there's nothing there but poor people. Or because we don't want to upset the voters.

[shoeless-girl.livejournal.com]

Most of my pet peeves have been brought up, but I'll state them anyway:

* People who fling rubbish out of cars, or drop stuff on the street. How hard is it to wait till you find a rubbish bin?
* People who travel below the speed limit until they reach a passing lane where they speed up.
* Anyone who feels it's their duty to tell me their religion/way of life is in some way intrinsically better than mine.
* People who don't change toilet rolls when one is empty or near empty.
* People who chew with their mouths open.
* People who don't blow their noses, but sniff loudly every minute, especially if they're in a computer lab with 50 other people frantically trying to finish an essay. I COULD HAVE KILLED HIM.
* People who I went to High School with who will avoid eye contact, if, God forbid, we happen to be approaching on the street. Shit people, it was ten years ago, what stage of social development did you miss out on?
* People who are not disabled or have a mobility impairment who park in parking spaces not reserved for them.
* Homophobes, racists, misogynists.... rah rah rah. You know the drill.

I may be back.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

There's always room to unload more bile.

OMG yes. I meant to say that one. People who can't stick to one speed. and then suddenly speed off.

People who MUST OVERTAKE you and then drop to below the speed you are going once they get past you.

and eye contact - yes. It's such a give away. My ex couldnt look anyone in the eye

[rosie-red73.livejournal.com]

Oh god. You did it. This may take some time...

1. People who don't say please and thank you. Especially people who don't say thank you if I hold a door open for them so I feel like a sodding doorman.
2. Random strangers who think it's OK to invade my personal space and touch my belly just because I'm pregnant.
3. Men.
4. People who drive and/or park inconsiderately.
5. Shop assistants who carry on a conversation while they're ringing your stuff through, thereby forcing you to rudely interrupt them to tell them you didn't actually WANT it rung through, you just wanted to know how much it cost.
6. Morrisons. Worst. Supermarket. EVER.
7. PC World and Dixons. I worked for them once. I left for reasons that are too long to go into, but suffice to say that their staff manual opened my eyes to just how mercenary and immoral they really are and I WILL NOT shop there.
8. This phrase: 'This isn't a sales call, but...' *sound of phone slamming down* And also, telesales people who don't take the hint when I politely tell them I'm not interested, thereby forcing me (once AGAIN) to be rude and tell them to FUCK OFF. I really hate being rude.
9. Jehovas witnesses who come to my house and offer my kid religious propaganda without asking my permission.
10. Loan companies who prey on people who are desperately in debt.
11. Newspapers and the news on TV when they show extremely distressing pictures of injured or dead people at a time when my child is likely to be in the room.
12. Tom Cruise.
13. Women who drop their kids off at school in their 06 registration SUVs with their make-up already done and their designer clothes, and then shoot off to the gym and moan because they have to cut their manicure short to pick the kid up again. And also look at me with either disapproval or pity because I work. I LIKE WORKING.
14. Women who dress their little girls in clothes that make them look like mini-hookers.
15. Fathers who teach their sons to call other boys poofs if they don't conform to their fucking ridiculous macho ideals.
16. Doctors who think their patients should bow down to them like gods and accept everything they say without question.
17. Employees of large corporations who really don't give a shit whether they have your business or not or whether you're being ripped off because they know you have very little alternative than to sit there and take it up the arse. (Sky are just about the best example of this that I can think of).
18. Pizza delivery people who forget the ice cream, when the only reason I ordered the sodding pizza was to get the ice cream.
19. People who ask me if I'm pregnant when I'm not. Likewise, people who think I'm just fat now I'm pregnant. If you're not sure, DON'T MENTION IT.
20. Teachers who pigeon-hole children into little boxes and jump in with the negative labels as soon as they find a child that doesn't precisely conform.
21. Surprise guests.
23. Anyone who calls me either before 9am or after 9pm.
24. The woman over the road who keeps looking through her sodding curtains into my living room and then tells my neighbour things she's seen me doing.
25. People who don't pay me on time.


I could go on. I should probably stop. I feel cleansed now. *takes deep breaths*
(And because it just happened: 26. Clients who expect me to do 'tiny little jobs' for them at *checks time* 11.21pm just because they know I work from home.)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

The pigeon holing is something to be vastly fought against. It happens in fiction - I personally HATE the genre thing (sci-fi, romance, fantasy, blah blah) I simply had no idea of its existence before I started to try and sell. I just buy books. I don't want my libraries to be pigeonholed..

SUVs (and I don't even know what that stands for) with Cattle bars.

Surprise guests! OMG YES! So many people can have their houses all wonderful so it doesnt matter, but mine takes a week to sort out. truly.

people who LIE. I don't mean "oh you look lovely" but I'm talking internet getting to know you lying.

9am - 9pm. ditto. i would NEVER call anyone before or after. NEVER.



on a nother note, I appear to have missed this weeks Lost. How annoying.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

People who don't stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk

Misplaced modifiers

People on public transit who don't get out of the way for people to get off the train/bus

That there's no non-gendered first-person singular suitable for use when referring to people

People who assume that just because I'm an Orthodox Jew, I'm therefore closed-minded

[erastes.livejournal.com]

What's a modifier?

And I'm so happy that there are Orthodox Jews on my (oh so wicked) list!

spess is full of hate

[spessartine.livejournal.com]

People who make noise while they eat, or eat with their mouths open.

Stupid people.

Seriously, stupid people.

People who defriend you the day after you defriend them. What, so I was only there because I'd friended you, and you were just WAITING to defriend me? Grow a fucking backbone.

People who reply to the question "would you like anything to eat/drink/maybe I should cook you a four course meal" with "I guess". In fact, anyone who uses the phrase "I guess."

Shop assistants who think I won't call them on their lack of service. No, it isn't your fault, but you're a representative of the company, so suck it up.

People who think me disparaging rap music is somehow racist. It's just elitist, thank you, because rap is shit. >.>

Women who pretend to like football. You don't like it, you want to appeal to men who do. It's pathetic.

People who spend half an hour making sure you know they're upset and then say "I'm fine" when you ask what's wrong.

People who bring children and babies into adult environments and let them make a racket. Yes, I will say something, and no, it won't cut it if you reply "he/she is just a child" I know. And that's the problem.

People who speak/shout/rupture their throat yelling in restaurants.

People who think anyone over 25 is "old". Also, people who somehow think being a teenager is better than being a grown up. Don't make me laugh.

Women who automatically hug other women. I don't know you, and even if I did I wouldn't want body contact because you've seen too much Ab Fab.

People who profess themselves to be "crazy" or "weird." Invariably boring as sin.

Common people. Okay, I'm sorry. But that sort of aggressive "chav" commonness that thinks being educated and well spoken is somehow a bad thing.

Re: spess is full of hate

[spessartine.livejournal.com]

Oh, an people with no table manners or politeness. I show respect to people around me by behaving properly and following these rules, so do me the courtesy of having a go too.

[arionrhod.livejournal.com]

Extremists of any sort, who believe their way is the only way and refuse to consider that other opinions and/or lifestyles have just as much validity as theirs.

Passive-aggressive people, who make it impossible to counter their attacks on you because they turn around and play the victim when you do.

Liars. I loathe liars with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. I'm not talking about little-social-white-lies ("no, those pants don't make you look fat!"), I mean people who self-servingly tell complete and utter falsehoods to further their own agenda. There is also a special place in hell for pathological liars - the ones who lie and then start actually BELIEVING their lies. (Sorry, my mother is one such, and it drives me absolutely INSANE).

People who do not scoop up after their dogs. Please, people. I don't crap in your yard, and if your dog does it in mine at least have the courtesy to pick it up!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

absolutely. People who think it's got to be their way and won't even consider another option.

Grrr. yes. That strikes hard.

Ditto. My mother is also such a one, and I've never been able to catch her out, she's so bloody good at it.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people who are cruel to animals make my blood boil. (We've got this senator who, when he was in med school, would adopt cats from local shelter on the pretense of giving them good homes, take them home, and dissect them. I'd hate him for that alone, but he's also a self-serving bag of shit. If we ever meet, it will not be pretty.)

*ahem*

I hate bigots. I hate people who act in a blatantly bigoted manner, then piss and moan when you call them no it.

I hate people who don't signal before changing lanes.

I hate it when I leave messages for people, and then they call back before checking their messages, forcing me to repeat everything I just said.

The Bush Administration and its supporters.

People who don't care about the environment.

I don't hate people who go gaga over celebrities just because they are celebrities, but they irritate me. (Not to be confused with people who crush on teh pretty, because we all do that. OMG BRITNEY HAD A BABY! SHE'S SO SPESHUL!!!!11)

Come to think of it, anyone who thinks a woman is worthless unless she's breeding.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Also, people who talk on their cell phones when they're driving. Unless it's a REAL emergency, is it worth risking your life and everyone else's, people???? Also, people who talk on their cell phones while they're trying to get you to do something for them, like ring them up at the register, or similar. Um, hi. If I have a question, I'm going to interrupt you, and you're being rude, so fuck you.

God, this feels good!

I guess it bears repeating: I HATE GEORGE W. BUSH.

Motorists that treat us motorcyclists like second class citizens

However - who NEARLY got on my list was motorcylists who think that the rules of the road (not overtaking on chevrons, not taking notice of traffic lights) don't apply to them.

People that cannot speak fucking English

I think that Britain is making this a requirement. I don't object to people not speaking English in their own country, but if they come to live over here, they MUST know - and they DON'T

Assholes that don't properly discipline their children

George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney.

Cell phones as ear jewelry, particularly while driving or while in a checkout line. Especially if the ear involved belongs to the clerk.

People who let their dogs shit in my front yard and don't clean it up. Yes, I have dogs, but they (and their poo) stay in the back.

Malicious gossip (unless I'm doing it)

Hypocrites (see above) *g*

Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, the Simpsons (Jessica and Ashlee, not Bart & co.)

Fundamentalists of any persuasion whatsoever.

People who deface library books. People who steal library books to sell on Amazon and Ebay.

Telemarketers, particularly the ones calling for the police retirement thing. My taxes pay for the police retirement, which is a hell of a lot better than the retirement plan I've got, which involves living in a box and eating cat food.

When good television shows get cancelled and replaced with utter crap.

sockpuppets!

People who believe that "it's against God's plan" to neuter their pets but allow them to go outside anyway.

Women who define a narrow set of feminist principles and insist that all other women live by it.

Alton Brown's bizarre relationship with stuffing.

People who cannot agree to disagree.

People who place bullet hole decals on their vehicles.

People who shake/yell/shove/hit toddlers to make said toddlers stop screaming.

Doctors who make me wait for two hours to see them and then spend two minutes talking at me.

People who hate me because I wear socks under my Birks and trousers when it's chilly. :D

People who always expect me to pick up the tab, who never reciprocate, and who yell at me when they should be yelling at someone else. (Okay, this is really about one "people," but it needed to be said.)

[lyras.livejournal.com]

Well, Dubya and Blair, obviously. And everyone behind the current situation in Lebanon.

People who are arrogant.
People who treat adulthood like some kind of popularity contest.
People who let their toddlers crawl around on the bike lanes, while blocking the bike lanes themselves by chatting with friends and ensuring that their pram is perpendicular to the street.
All the bloody "rules", politics and idiocy associated with dating/being chatted up.

Bah. I feel better now!

1) At the supermarket - old folks who think that their age justifies them stepping in front of you when you're waiting at the check-out.
2) children throwing a tantrum.
3) parents who can't control their childen. (makes my blood boil)
4) I am single and without children and that seems to mean that I have to go to others and not vice versa.
5)Anyone who mistreats animals.
6) Politicians and lawyers.
7) Bullies and people who patronise.
8) That my family (brother/sister) will visit my aunt who lives two streets away from me but can never be bothered to visit *me*. I can't go to them because of a total lack of money (long distance away) so I haven't seen them in years!

Just to name a few...
