People I hate

[XCashier]

I might add to that: people who ramble on when I (and possibly others) are actually trying to watch something that we may find interesting.

Hubby is terrible about that, though it's usually more rambling on while I'm listening to the radio. And it's usually when a song I like comes on, too.

(No, hubby doesn't qualify as one of the "people I hate", but that habit of his is annoying.)

Oh this is fun.

*I hate drivers who cut you off, forcing you to slow down or slam on your brakes, then proceed to travel slower than you were, oftentimes far under the speed limit.

*I hate people who don't pay attention to traffic signals. I once had an old guy honking at me to go at a RED light. Although, far more often, the light turns green and everyone picks their noses for four hours before hitting the gas pedal. *hair pull*

*I hate people who get in the Express lane with more than the limit of items.

Example: I have one item, I'm on my lunch break and you have the audacity to get in the "6 items or less lane" with a cartload? Gah!

*I hate people who whine about/haggle over the price of everything.

*I hate hate hate it when people (particularly strangers) invade my personal space. This for some awful reason seems to particularly be the case while standing in line. Get away from me, please.

A recent annoyance: The jerkface who let his elderly mother repeatedly run me over with their shopping cart in Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. The first time is excusable. After the 9th stink eye I've thrown you, hold on to the goddamn cart so she stops bashing me with it!

I'm sure I have more pet peeves. But this feels good to vent about for now.

god forbid they ever watch something that took some thought to write and has good actors and a good script. It's all got to be about da 'splosions.

A lot of the guys in the anime group I mentioned get mad if not everyone is paying 100% attention...and when someone brings something good, I swear I'm the only one actually trying to watch it.

Last week, we had a new girl who does AMAZING artwork. It looks like video game character art. So about a third of us migrate over to where she is sitting with two huge portfolio binders. Seems straightforward enough; if you want to look at the art look at the art, if you want to watch the anime watch the anime.

Nope. Facilitator decides to call "time" because not everyone is doing the same thing.

Yeah, similar to number 13 on my list. Most of my friends only watch commando, predator, army of darkness, and a few other cheesy movies...repeatedly...god forbid they ever watch something that took some thought to write and has good actors and a good script.

It sounds to me like you've intellectually outgrown your friends.

Personally, I can enjoy Army of Darkness for the cheesiness value, but I just watched Predator for the first time about a week ago, and it was awful. Just awful. On every level. No redeeming qualities there.

19. People who are completely full of crap. So full of crap that it doesn't even make sense anymore. The 30 year old guy who claims he fought in Vietnam, or the gigantic out of shape guy who claims to be a master Ninja warrior and was the inspiration for "The Last Samurai".

or who talk about how they have 3 girlfriends in 2 states... only to the next day tell you they are gay... only to the day after that tell you that they are getting married to a fourth girl that he's never mentioned before... this is after trying to convince people that he was buying a new car every other week (and forgetting to hide the hertz rental car tags).

Ditto. I might add to that: people who ramble on when I (and possibly others) are actually trying to watch something that we may find interesting. Nitpicking/discussions as long as it's relevant are fine.

5. Really dumb rednecks that you have to explain everything to three or four times.

The ex is like that at times, and at times will think I'm like that....this only happens when we disagree on something and I'm able to intelligently defend my arguments.

18. People who constantly ramble on about inappropriate subjects at inappropriate times. i.e. probably not the best idea to start bragging about your World of Warcraft character while the other guys are trying to watch the Superbowl.

Here's a new installment of People I Think Suck:

--the guy in front of me at 9 PM in 7-11 who has $300 worth of scratchoffs. I just want to get my coffee and get home kthx. See that little counter over there where the lotto blanks are? That's where you do that.

--the ex. Nuff said. There was a good quote on CSI last night: "Don't let him live rent-free in your head."

--The anime club at times. It's a nice attempt, but the format by definition just doesn't work with this group of Aspies. Each week there's at least one argument or full-blown fight over something stupid (most recently was over who gets the remote--logically the owner of what's being shown at the moment gets control). All successful clubs have at least some set rules...I try to propose some but it always seems to fail.

--People who think volume, repetition or condescension trump facts.

--Defenders of badfic who resort to the above tactics.

--Some Craigslist buyers. I know the economy's tight , but I'm not selling a practically-new $200 (original price) PCIe video card for $5. The lack of a box doesn't justify that big of a price drop. Prices are listed in the ad for a reason. If you were intending to negotiate, an offer that silly right off is a good way to get ignored.

What's wrong with Army of Darkness? That was a hilarious movie

Gimme some sugar baby....

[DrFaroohk]

1. The guy who yells at me to hurry up in a line when I’m not even the first person in line!

2. The guy who is at the front of the line who decides now is the best time to choose powerball numbers that are divisible by 23.

3. People who feel the need to get into a fistfight over every little disagreement. Are you 10 years old???

4. People who use the phrase “Runnin’ his mouth!”

5. Really dumb rednecks that you have to explain everything to three or four times.

6. Same rednecks who feel like they have to fight to compensate for their dumbness.

7. People who get on my case for being “judgmental.” Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?

8. People who call me on the phone at the most inconvenient times, such as when I’m playing DoD.

9. People who think nirvana and pearl jam are the best bands ever.

10. People who love Army of Darkness.

11. People who pretend to like everything cool just so they can fit in.

12. Even more so, people who pretend to hate everything cool just so they can feel special.

13. People who are incapable of sitting down and enjoying a good movie. Does everything have to be about explosions?

14. People who spend all day watching sports and then act like i'm a loser because i play video games all day.

15. Extremely left-or-right political people. You know, the ones who believe the second amendment entitles them to own nukes, or the ones who think that if you're a minority you should just get a big government check for a million dollars a year.

16. Rich people who still complain about money. "Oh noes! The government took 50% of my pay this year! Now I only have TEN billion dollars!"

17. Interrupters. I know a guy who will ask you how you are doing, and before you've even taken a breath to answer him he's cut you off and talking about something you don't care about.

18. People who constantly ramble on about inappropriate subjects at inappropriate times. i.e. probably not the best idea to start bragging about your World of Warcraft character while the other guys are trying to watch the Superbowl.

19. People who are completely full of crap. So full of crap that it doesn't even make sense anymore. The 30 year old guy who claims he fought in Vietnam, or the gigantic out of shape guy who claims to be a master Ninja warrior and was the inspiration for "The Last Samurai".

20. People who actually believe them.

That's it for now. Stay tuned!
