Pet Hates (safe for merge) (don't call the admins) [Archive]

I am sure there are more, but here is a start:

Street preachers, especially those ones near King George Square (Brisbane) and their dumb placards
all those try hard teenaged tools who hang outside Hungry Jacks on Queen St. (Brisbane again) trying to look cool and just hanging around.
People who ask if I have a smoke. Even if I was a fellow smoker and sympathetic to your cause, I would say no (buy your own you cheap bastard - the dole is to get by with no luxuries, not to fund your nicotine addiction).
People making who make quote marks in the air (stolen from George Carlin mp3 someone sent me, but that always has been a pet hate of mine anyway)
Bitchy pubescent girls on the bus who gossip non-stop and are obviously Briteny Spears fans.
People who have pet hates
Dog owners who think their pet is somehow special on par with human intelligence. It is only a fucking animal, so get over it.
People in cinemas who sit their stuffing their fat fucking guts and make continous sound of crinkling wrappers etc.

Slow people (slow movers, not thinkers i mean here). These are people who move much slower than everyone else (be it on foot, riding a bike, or driving a car) and always block those who would like to go at a normal, or faster than normal pace.
People who always drive in the right lane. The right lane is for overtaking.
People who pronounce the letter "H" as "Haiche". It's pronounced "aiche"
It's Zed, not Zee
people who take up two parking spaces simply because they are incapable of parking in a single space
People who don't take "no" for an answer and keep on asking and asking
Elderly people who chose to go to the bank/postoffice etc during lunch hour, or saturdays. They could go any time of the week, yet they all seem to choose to go on the few times that people who work can get there.
People who walk their dogs, and don't pick up the crap that the dog leaves
People who think cats are super intelligent. Fuck that, cats are selfish and use their owners. I guess in a way they are intelligent because they basically control their human owners.

idiocy. i have a very low tolerance for idiocy.

like when you tell someone that something needs to be done, how to do it, when to do it, and why to do it. then you go to check if they've done it and they say "oh, did you want me to do that?". sure, i love the sound of my voice as much as the next guy, but i don't give you 10 minutes worth of instructions on how to take spring rolls out of a deep frier just to do that. i'd rather stay at home and chat myself up in the mirror. spring rolls get burnt, customers aren't happy, i'm not happy, management's not happy. stupid employee is happy (only because ignorance is bliss).

people who can't understand a simple thing like "put this in the sink when you are done with it". i suppose i can't expect much from the average food industry person. most of the people who i work with have either no OP or a very bad OP.

the OP (overall position) is an exit score at the end of secondary education. it is ranked from 1 (best) to 25 (dumb as dog shit) on a standard binomial distribution (bell curve). the people i work with range from an OP 17 to a 23. that's out of the teenagers though. the people over the age of 25 (except for these two high school dropouts) are some of the most idiotic people i've ever met.

it's painful to work there sometimes :(

edit: these people should earn a living isolated from other people, maybe clearing land mines, or as candidates for genetic engineering and biological warfare guinea pigs.

My pet hates?

1. All the usual driving things (ie, not using indicators, not checking blindspots, tailgating, not keeping left etc etc).

2. No common courtesy (that's why it's called "common", it should be a natural thing to do).

3. People who have too big an ego, are too self centred and think they can manipulate anything/one to do their bidding. I'm a nice guy, I do things for my friends. Soon as people start acting as though they think I'm doing it because they are manipulating me into it, I stop. Screw 'em. If they can't appreciate a friend, that's their problem.

4. People pressuring me into something. If I feel pressured into something, I usually try and do the opposite (even if I _WAS_ planning on doing what people started trying to pressure me into anyway).

5. After that I guess there's some petty things (your/you're, there/they're, "yous").

So, you have 8 of the same item multiplied by 8, making 64 items in total, but only 8 scans? Or do you just have 8 of the same item, which would mean that it's cool to go through the express lane, because it would be even quicker than having 8 different items?

Inconsiderate, rude ass people that cannot take one extra second to say please, thanks, or go fuck yourself.

Tailgaters ( I slam on the brakes usually ) though at one time I had a rear window washer that I pointed outward & filled with poster paint to spray the bastards with. That was funny!

LIERS

I'll skip the rest, and say the most recent thing-
My wife has this habit of leaving her razor on the soap in the shower, so when I reach for the soap with shampoo in my eyes I have to fuck with the razor to get to the soap!
That pisses me off, so now if I have to move the razor, I just throw it at the trash can.
I think it's working, I have had a clean shot at the soap for the last few days. :D

open borders for immigration

for the most part, count me in on your list asmo. most of my disagreements are of degree. oddly, except for this one.

after living in california and texas i've really had to re-approach this issue.

i've had to weather white-trash racists who scream how every ill in the southwest u.s. is due to the brown monsters crawling up from the border.

i've gritted my teeth at the hordes of SUV driving soccer-moms and their brood who think they are helping things by being nice to that nice mexican man who does their lawn and the nice hispanic woman who cleans their house by paying them cash (even though it is only a fraction of what minimum wage would pay)

i've endured hair-shirt activists that scream and scream about all the rights mexican-american/hispanics/latinos (how about pick a fucking name and stick with it - but i digress) but then are completely myopic to the problems the situation has created.

according to the u.s. census bureau the number of illegal immigrants in the country doubled in the 1990s, from 3.5 million to 7 million, the largest such increase in the nation's history. and it's not just the economic want south of the border that has caused this - there are plenty of policy blunders, greedhead opportunism and outright racism on this side of the rio grande that has fueled this beast.

so it was a bit of a surprise to read a story recently that actually climbed above the rhetoric and made a few good points about this issue. (you can find it here (http://www.latimes.com/features/printedition/magazine/la-tm-immigration29jul20215420,1,7044553.story?coll=la-headlines-magazine) (but this asinine site wants everything but a sperm sample to register so let me know and the story may magically appear in your inbox)

some of the points i was interested to see aired were:

the crackdown on the mexican border has destroyed the fluid population forcing more workers to move north rather than live in mexico and work in the states.
"stagnant low wages means people they can hire maids, farm laborers, seamstresses, roofers and carpet cleaners for about the same wages as they paid a quarter-century ago... it frees up enough money for homeowners to afford those sports cars whose price tripled even as the cost of getting their lawn mowed stayed the same."
the entire society of the american southwest depends on the super-cheap labor provided by immigrants and it undercuts the lowest bracket of the workforce.
legal immigrants who are trying to arise above this servitude cannot because there are no mid-level opportunities left.
this problem isn't because americans (legal immigrants included) don't want to do this work, it's because americans (legal immigrants included) want to be paid and treated fairly. illegals have no option.
other minorities at the bottom of the socio-economic scale are unable to work their way out of their situation for the same reasons.
the cash-only economy driven by this illegal workforce not only drains billions of dollars of revenue from the economy here, the mexican economy has become dependent on it.
our economy has become dependent on it as well. the approximately 10 million undocumented workers in the workforce drive hundreds of american industries that would radically have to chance policies (i.e. raise prices, lose business) if these conditions changed

all of which suggests that the solutions to this problem are gonna take a lot more than the bumper sticker epithets i see thrown about when the topic is discussed to solve.

*Mental apathy, both of people who refuse to acknowledge that any viewpoint other than their own has validity, and of those people who are unhappy with their lives, but are too set in their ways to improve themselves.

*The household dog, which persists on scratching on the door of my room whenever someone sits on the couch, whether it happens at 2:00pm or 3:00am.

*My habit of unconsciously slouching in chairs, which has resulted in recurring chest pains from the nerves between my ribs being squeezed.

People who go straight into round-a-bouts without first looking (I found out that the horn on my new car works quite well today! :swear: )
People who drive really slowly in places where you can't overtake, but then speed up when there is an overtaking lane (they often then slow down again once the overtaking lane has gone).
People who go to maccas (or other fast food places) and leave all their rubbish on the table for someone else to clean up (this is even worse when the rubbish bin is right next to them).
People who don't have the words "please" and "thankyou" in their vocabulary.
Salesmen and charity collectors that don't take "no" for an answer.
Drivers who put their seatbelt on after they have started driving - WTF? it takes a second to put the belt on, surely no one is in that much of a rush to go that they have to start driving the second they get in the car!
People who hit the speaker on the phone, dial the number, then pick up the handset - similar to above, are these people in such a rush to make the phone call that they can't waste the one second required to pick up the handset before dialing?
People who blame everyone and everything for their own mistakes

People who think they know everything, and try to make this well known to everyone around them, whether they know the people or not

People who can't reverse park
Manipulative people. Sales people to politicians
Oh and people who don't spell shit out for me. Don't hint at what you want just friggen tell.

For some weird reason it doesn't come up when you do a search for "Pet Hates".

For some reason, that thread actually didn't come up when I did a search for Pet Hates. Very Odd.

People who eat with their mouths open, wtf :grr:
Corporate women who think their all whiz bang.
People who don't indicate when driving (generally middle aged men who drive luxury cars do this).
Slow drivers.
People who double click on hyperlinks.

Jesus christ shit on a bike that one pisses me off.
Like really pisses me off.

I had to work with someone who did that. I think they just stopped because I started looking like I was about to cry after I'd asked them to stop doing it for the 100th time.

I work with one of those people too... He also closes windows/applications as soon as he is done with them, even though he will need it again in 5 minutes time. I swear he spends half his day opening and closing browser windows and applications. :swear:

And he just doesn't fucking listen. And he doesn't have a clue.

And I got away with screaming in the office after dealing with him once. Scared fuck out of everyone though ;)

It's worse when they never close programs. Those who whinge the most at work about their computer being slow/unstable are those who leave EVERY email they read open, EVERY word/excel/powerpoint/other application file open. They come to me whinging about it, I go to their desk and can't do shit because I can't even figure out which program in the taskbar is which, I just see verticle lines across it.

They also have desks that are messier than mine.

as a teacher I am generally a fairly tolerant person, but there are some things that really piss me off:

Shop assistants that ask "do you want fries with that?" or "any drinks?" - I would have asked for them if I wanted them!
Checkout assistants that ask how my day was - standard response- "I am tired and pissed off but it not your fault, yet"
smokers, anywhere
incompetant people, particularly management
people who do not use their potential and later winge about doing poorly
homophobes and other bigots
websites that are all "flashy-twirly" with no actual content
computer resellers (bottom on the gene pool), used-car salesmen (close 2nd)
people who ask for donations on the street, rattling collection boxes under your nose
people who choose to sprook their opinions to passers by (verbal fanatics)
drive-by conversations (have much the same effect as drive-by shootings)
decisions made by the least able people to make them (management usually)
people who think their opinion on what type of music is best actually matters
emoticons
poorly written software (microsoft doubly so)
hardware
people who worship their hardware
spam - that mystery meat in a can
email-spam
meetings for the sake of meetings (without any real agenda) or worse, meetings to set agendas for meetings
paperless office practises that actually generate more paper than conventonal systems
replies to emails where the respondent has not cut all the meaningless crap out of the thing they are responging to
chewing gum
rose oil (gives me a migraine)
berry flavoured condoms (don't ask)
misuse of network resources, exploits, hacks, phreaks and other attacks
ops wars on IRC, MSN nazis
airplane seats (not made for people with legs)
airplane food (not made for people with tastebuds) ... classic airline disaster - serving 2 types of curry ONLY on long haul flight to Brunei (I was there 2 years ago)
opinionated dicks who do not know their arse from their elbows
pop music
radio stations that proport "Greatest hits" and include Billy Joel, Elton John and ACDC in their playlist
commercials during movies that increase in length and frequency as the movie gets interesting
computer speakers
the mac/pc debate (or is it macdurbate?)
people who use internet nicks in the real world
meets of virtual communities where all that happens is regurgitation of posted threads
lists of petty hates ... how f$cking pointless (good therapy tho)

I prefer "same shit, different smell". Generally only used in cases where "close enough" could also be used.

Lift Nazis - People who push the fucking close door button as soon as they get in the lift even before other people can get in or out.

People who stand in front of the lift door and try and get on as soon as the lift door opens. So that other people cant get out.

Drinks slurpers and people who make that 'ahhhhh' noise like kyuss said.

Children.

People who sing part of a song but it's the only bit they know so they just sing that over and over and over and over again.

Whistling.

People who complain about having no money then put everything on credit (esp. if they have a mortgage). In a similar vein to this, people who cry poor because the latest interest rate hike means they can't take their annual holiday this year, or can't eat out at restaurants three nights a week. Boo fucking hoo, I've never had a holiday anywhere and I don't even buy lunch at work because it's a waste of money. Shut the fuck up you pack of whingers.

If I'm wanting to get out I just walk straight into them forcing them back out / knock them over. Same for tains. It's pure common courtesy to let those inside get out first, incredibly rude to force your way in first.

People that use their credit card in the express line.

People at work who ask me how my weekend was. Every single Monday. YOU DON'T CARE HOW MY WEEKEND WAS. IF YOU DON'T CARE DON'T ASK. Please. I feel like I'm in Office Space. That would be cool if I wasn't stuck in the small talk loop instead of doing something creative. Like stealing staplers and beating up printers to Ice Cube.

HAHAH! *hi 5's* :8:

I hit the deck once in a shopping centre, had a full-blown anxiety attack because there where so many screaming kids being fucked around me. I was so angry that as I collided with the floor, an aftershock of rage lept up and blast through the complex. I dont remember so well, but from what I can gather the entire earth was destroyed.

Where to start?

Religious fucktards such as the Hillsong people who seem to think God wants them to own all the money in the world. And the ones who can't seem to respect people of other religions.

I'll add another to the long list of driving complaints: people who think having a "baby on board" thing on their car enables them to drive erratically and at warp speed.

Mothers with prams who seem to think it is a battering ram to be used in crowded shopping malls to force a path for them. Also more than one of the above who think it is ok to saunter along side by side taking up an entire sidewalk / walkway.

People who have no fucking clue when it comes to computers but are convinced they are fucking geniuses. Along the same vein, people who have a friend in some sort of computer role and that everything that person says is right, and when you contradict it you are wrong. Users who say "there has to be a way to do ... ". Yes there is retard, write to Microsoft and get them to bring out a special content update, just for you.

People who let their dogs bark all night. I'm of the view that if your dog is going to keep me awake, I'm fucking going to keep you awake.

Already mentioned early on in this thread, but the kids that mob together outside Hungry Jacks in the Mall in Brisbane, effectively making that section of mall into an obstacle course.

Celebrities who seem to think because they like a product or vote for a political party, that I will too.

People who still like to use a million litres of water on their thousands of garden plants despite the level 2 water restrictions. I don't like my front yard looking like a dust bowl either, but I'd rather the dam didn't run dry.

Left and Right wing extremists who are incapable of seeing that they could be wrong about absolutely anything. So-called intellectuals who are incapable of having a rational discussion.

The midwife who runs our anti-natal classes. There's no need to say everything 50 times, I still remember it from the first time you said it last week. It takes me half an hour to get home after the class finishes at 8:30pm, so you can imagine why I'm not thrilled when you start on a rambling diatribe that has nothing to do with the upcoming birth of my child at 8:29pm.

Schoolkids taking bus seats while adults are standing. People sitting in the aisle seat when the window seat is free and pretending not to notice you looking for a seat. People who take up more than one seat (that's right lady, I didn't appreciate your fat, sweaty thigh being pressed up against me even though I only had one butt-cheek on the seat). Bus drivers who are 15 minutes late. People I am going to be stuck next to on a bus for 30 minutes talking on their mobile the entire time...loudly.

People who take forever to get out of an elevator...they look surprised to be at the ground floor. You pressed the button fucker, where did you think it was going to take you? Disneyland?

I just realised a lot of things piss me off....
