Anything thats ticks you off.


Edit: You can delete if there is one already.
 
This may sound strange, but what ticks me off is this type of conversation.

"So what types of bands do you like?"

"I really like (insert band here)."

"What! Why? They're awful!"


People have to learn that taste in music is totally and utterly subjective, it really bothers me.

Musical elitists.
You respect my tastes, I'll respect yours.

And to add to that, girls who think they are so much more perfect than they really are.
 
My laziness, and not being agressive enough and later regretting.

Arrogant, obnoxious, rich teenagers.

In my area it is predominantly white (Orange County) and when I hang out with my friends, other asians and the only black people in the city, whole groups of (not to be offensive) white teenagers come by and think they can do whatever the hell they want and say whatever the hell they want thinking that because they are rich, they can do all those things and not suffer the consequences.

I come from LA and Vegas, so I'm not used to people who lack respect for others and people who don't think that they can get their asses beat for their actions, if not by one group, then another.
 
You know what really grinds my gears?!? Topics that should go in one forum, but there is one part of the site that blackholes every topic so it turns in to a 2010 discussion on shit completely unrelated to that team.

Instead of 'They're awful' best thing to say in reply is "I'm not really into them." states that you don't like them, but if others like that band it's doesn't make mean they have awful taste.
 
You know what really grinds my gears? YOU Master Shake. **** YOU.



I'd say 78% of <u>girls</u>.
 
People typing "bias" when they should be typing "biased" is one that has gotten to me lately.
People pronouncing exactly "egg-zackt-ly".
Also, people saying "I could care less". It's "I couldn't care less", otherwise it makes little sense.
I guess just people in general piss me off.

Like when Tmac went on his rampage and called us "Bias homers". Pisses me off too.

Hate it when people do the third one too.
 
Hypocrites. My pops is one of those and he completely pisses me off.
 
When people case trouble, I get so angry. Why can't those fuckers case fun?

Pundits who think they can solve Canada's medal problem even though the last time these guys were near am sport they were in HS.

Stubborn people.

People who twist your words around against you.

Suck ups.

Hypocrites.

among other things.
 
Threads on gear grinding.

Also Ann Coulter and people who vote for president based on who their parents are voting for. Oh and people who vote conservative for the sole reason that they belong to the NRA.
 
When some smart-ass decides to debate sports with you by pulling endless amounts of stats out, trying to make the game much more complicated than it really is. You don't need these in-depth stats. This ain't science.
 
People with mood swings
Ignorance
Too much cockiness
People who talk too much shit
Annoying people
 
Car insurance. When you're a male under 25, they make you pay ridiculous amounts of money for it, especially if you drive a nice car. Even if you've never caused an accident or even filed a minor claim in your life. You end up paying thousands a year just for a piece of paper to keep in your glove compartment in case a cop pulls you over and asks for it. They should give you some of your money back at the end of each policy term if you never had to use it.
 
so I'm escorting my five-year-old and two-year-old daughters to the playground, and just as we're passing the basketball court, some turd scores and screams at the top of his lungs something along the lines of "Yes! Motherf****er! you B**CH!" There were other little kids already at the playground, which is roughly 25 feet behind the basketball court. Just totally not cool.

edit: doesn't swearing get automatically masked anymore?

f****er? What is that, flubber? :)

I hate it when people do that around little kids.

Let's say I'm driving, windows open, with a song playing that has swearing. If I see kids, my immediate reaction is to turn the volume down as low as possible so that they can't hear any swearing.
