Welcome to my shit list, buddy.

[sus]

Categories of People Who Piss You Off.

What makes you want to swing the cluestick?

[GOPisEvil]

1. remember - the shit list is not vertical, it's horizontal.

EVERYONE is on top!

[sus]

2. People who cannot unsubscribe from an email list.

they don't want to be on the list anymore, so they send out an email to the entire group saying, "please unsubscribe me!" as though such a thing requires the collective will of the entire internet. as opposed to, say, following the simple instructions at the bottom of every single email received via the list.

[drumwolf]

8. that doesn't piss me off as much as.....

people who are receiving the digest version of the list (all the day's posts in one email) and accidentally quote the whole digest back to the list when they're responding to a single post.

[Beaverhausen]

49. then someone responds to that email

to say please don't send the whole digest again. And therefore they themselves send it...again...to the whole group.

[buddhamama]

12. i experienced this phenomenon recently

when a Gay Right org that i belong to had their website hacked,
and the hacker sent out a bulk mailing. First time for me, i hope it never happens again. For three days i was deleting "please unsubscribe me" e-mails.

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. Ugh...I got those....

I signed up as a straight to show a measure of solidarity with my gay brothers and sisters, but began to wonder if any of them knew anything about e-mail, and hitting "Reply" when it was obvious the moderators were trying to dump the hack stuff.


Rrrrrrr....

[zanana]

27. People who think that if they talk louder...

they can hijack a conversation.

[NoPasaran]

3. People driving in the rain with their lights off

If I had a big ol' truck I would ram 'em just to knock some sense into 'em.

[Zookeeper]

4. Well,

I'd say people who are born into wealth and privilege, yet don't recognize the advantages it has given them.

[sus]

9. yeah no kidding. i'm sick of listening to the college student working in

our office say things like, "how am I supposed to live on a $2000 a month stipend??" (from her parents) or agonizing over the $200 she spent on a chanel purse so she could keep up with the girls in her sorority. now she just got a new car. she only works like 10 hours a week here and she's constantly calling out, so mommy and daddy will pay for that, too.

I hate her.

[Zookeeper]

37. Geez...

How much money would you have to make to send your bratty daughter $2000 a month? Plus tuition, a new car and extras?

Slap her for me.

[afraid_of_the_dark]

71. Geez... how spoiled can one person be?

There are FAMILIES in this country living on less than 2,000/month.

[ok222]

79. But

She needs those tanning sessions, nails done, perm, clothes, shoes and beer....lol....That's a strain hahaha.

[tsakshaug]

5. Driving this AM

behind 20 something male going 45 in a 55 zone. I passed him, he accelerated while I was passing. I was doing 65 he was tailgating. He passed then went down to 50. Being passed is not a function of penis size. Why do some young males act like it is?

[Missy Vixen]

42. I had one of those today, too

>Being passed is not a function of penis size.<

Earlier today, I am driving through beautiful Redmond, WA, home of Microsoft (and a very proactive police force.) I am doing the speed limit. The woman behind me is riding my tail. I speed up a bit, she's still tailgating. She just about hit me twice -- I had to brake because the car in front of me did; evidently, she thought she could just drive through me.

She finally whipped around in front of me. You'll never, ever guess what was on her car.

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

A "Never drive faster than your angels can fly" license plate holder and a prominently displayed "Jesus" fish.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=1256935&mesg_id=1256935

[Tyler Durden]

7. Spies at work.

The boss is a big enough prick without your help, you skeevy little asshole.

[Taverner]

20. Yes we have them here too

Net police who hunt employees who surf for personal stuff on company time....

In fact we have an HR person who has a wall of her cube with the badges of all the employees she had a part in firing for doing so...

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. People who talk on cell phones while riding a bicycle

These people are the dumbest of the dumb.

[Commendatori]

11. Spammers and telemarketers are on the top of my list (n/t)

[FleshCartoon]

13. I gotta go with telemarketers, too.

I know everyone needs to make a living, but inviting yourself "in" to my home by phoning me is just as rude as showing up unsolicited on the front porch.

Also, people who try to proselytize--irks the shit out of me.

I was sitting in a drugstore once waiting for some pain medicine because my jaw was dislocated--which is horribly painful. A man sat down next to me and kept looking at me peripherally as if he might know me. Suddenly, he turned and asked me, "Have you met the Savior, Jesus yet?" I just rolled my eyes and quietly but sternly asked him to please not harrass me in a public place. He got all huffy and insisted he wasn't harrassing me, but I didn't respond.

A few minutes later an old woman came in who could barely walk. I sat and waited for a minute since this guy and I had the only two chairs in the place. I got up and gave the old lady my seat. The good Christian never moved his sorry ass.

I know that not all Christians are like this, but many I've come across are and I have no patience with them.

Wow, that turned into a rant, didn't it?

[sus]

16. you should have said,

"why yes, I HAVE met him and to be honest, we didn't really hit it off but whenever I see him in the Piggly Wiggly, we're still civil and give each other a friendly wave. tra-la-la!"

[FleshCartoon]

22. Bwah.

I tend to anger when annoyed, but I wish I could be that level-headed and amusing at those times instead.

[Commendatori]

24. Perfectly justified.

However, the Jesus thing can work in your favor, too. When some blowhard insists on talking to you on a plane, ask if he or she has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his or her savior. That will get you peace and quiet instantly.

On the off chance that the person is heavily into religion, breathe a sigh of relief and say "Excellent. Now let's discuss your insurance needs."

[sus]

14. bible beaters

a coworker asked me if I was going to church with my mother on mother's day and I said "I didn't go last week. Why should I start now?" She clicks her tongue and says, "God EXPECTS you to go to church." I resisted the urge to say something mature like, "oh YEAH? well God expects YOU to shut your HOLE!" Instead I just pointed out that as a PK, I had paid my dues.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

15. People who don't understand the concept of standing on line

Newcomers go to the end. They don't try to wedge in the middle. They don't stand next to the person at the front and pretend they have started a new, second line. And nobody gets to wander away from their spot for more than a minute and then come back expecting to get in where they were.

People who complain loudly and endlessly about the pace at which the line is moving are also shit listed.

[sus]

17. how about people who are in your PERSONAL SPACE while in line????

they have to be RIGHT up your ass! i'm like, "hey buddy! back off! six inch bubble here!"

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

21. That's what the hip-check is for :-)

Or the big bag slung over the shoulder. A slight shift of the hips and oof! Personal space reclaimed. Repeat as necessary.

[FleshCartoon]

23. I do that, too.

Another thing I do is to slowly start edging backwards until you're forcing them to go back, too.

Better than my grandpa, who used to tell people to get the hell out of his way and grumble out-loud (and loudly) about all the "slow old people in these damned stores!" He was in his eighties when he did this, btw.

[Zuni]

25. I usually reply with a well placed, glancing 'accidental' elbow

that usually gets them at least breathing distance away.

Or what about people at concerts who think everyone wants to slamdance? They get more than a glancing elbow.

[sus]

59. I do that, too! Any day now I"m going to get my ass kicked.

[geniph]

29. People who let their little kids paw at you and your stuff

while in line. Do NOT touch me, and do NOT allow your spawn to touch me, either. If I wanted pinkeye, I'd touch the little booger machine myself.

[sus]

58. HA! ex-cellent.

[fudge stripe cookays]

19. Thank you L7!!!

"When I get mad and I get pissed
I grab my pen and I write out a list
Of all the people who won't be missed
You've made my shitlist
For all the ones who put me out (shitlist)
For all the ones who filled my head with doubt (shitlist)
For all the squares who get me pissed (shit list)
You've made my shit list!"

[Bonhomme Richard]

26. Bullies really tick me off..................

There is a gene that I have that causes me to immediatly get in a bullies face. Can't help it.

[geniph]

28. Anyone with a Bush/Cheney sticker on their car

goes right to the top of the ol' shitlist instantaneously. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to the shitlist. How anyone could still support that smirking, lying, silverspoon, war-starting, chickenhawk, mushmouthed piece of shit is beyond me.

[guitar man]

30. People who feign incompetence,

ignorance or helplesness to get out of doing certain tasks at work.
Especially after I have repeatedly shown them how to do a simple task.

Worse yet is the boss who makes excuses for this person. :grr:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

34. That reminds me: BREAKROOM VIOLATORS

People who take the last cup of coffee and don't make more.

People who don't clear their trash off the table, or if a dishwasher is available, leave their cups and dishes in the sink.

And of course, the lowest of the (non-Republican) low: People who eat other people's snacks and lunches.

[Blue Gardener]

31. Smokers that throw their stinkin' butts everywhere

The ground, the street, the sidewalk, the parking lot, my yard, and mother earth are not ashtrays! I assume you know what an ashtray is, so try using one instead of leaving a filthy trail everywhere you go.

[sus]

60. I KNOW! out the car window really pisses me off.

especially if it's an out of state car. hey! keep that shit in pennsylvania! ass...

[Snow]

32. People who shoot pool with a cluestick....

Man, they need to get a cue!

[Iris]

33. 20-something women talking on cell phones while trying to drive an SUV

Especially the one who kept swerving into my lane this a.m.


(Do they even know how stupid they look trying to get in and out of those things?)

[HEyHEY]

35. Just regular old stupidity

You know the kind of people who think it's everyone else's fault they've fuck their lives up.

[Padraig18]

36. People who don't take their checkbook out until the cashier hit's 'Total'

Hello, you clueless f***S! Did you forget what store you were in, or the fact that you have to pay before you leave with the stuff in your cart?

:wtf:

[Zookeeper]

38. I agree! Another retail peeve:

People (I'm sorry, but it's usually middle-aged or older men who are clueless) who leave their grocery cart in the middle of an aisle and walk away to get something. Or stand with the cart in the middle of the aisle reading the label on a can.

[Blue Gardener]

39. Then they ask for a pen

Who doesn't keep one in their checkbook? How about using a debit card?

[Iris]

40. Sorry, I'm not going to use a debit card just because

you are inconvenienced by my writing a check.

But I do start filling out my check when I'm in line.

[Blue Gardener]

41. Sorry, not inconvenienced by you writing a check

I write checks myself, but I don't wait until everything is totaled, then as an afterthought decide to ask for a pen. If they can't figure that out beforehand, maybe they should switch to a debit card to make things easier for them. Meant no disrespect to you Iris.

[Iris]

53. I know. I'm just being a jerk today.

I don't know what's come over me!!!

:shrug:

[Iris]

54. I know. I'm just being a jerk today.

I don't know what's come over me!!!

:shrug:

[Iris]

57. And I don't know how I posted this twice!

I guess I'll just go beat myself up some more!

[Padraig18]

46. Then you're not one of 'them', Iris!

:hug:

[Iris]

52. I know; I'm just ornery today!

[sus]

61. and WHO writes checks anyway?? hello! it's 2004! look! in the sky!

it's the VISA CHECKcard!

man i need coffee.

[EstimatedProphet]

43. FREEPERS!!!

Nuff said!

[Missy Vixen]

44. Here's one for the class

I realize that there are lots of people now that don't have health insurance. They get a pass, because they're just trying to earn a living, and doctors are expensive. I reserve this next one for people (such as those in my DH's office,) who have insurance and just don't give a shit about anyone but themselves:

STOP COMING TO WORK WITH THE CONTAGION OF THE MONTH!

His workplace encourages those who are sick to actually use the days for that purpose, so there is absolutely no excuse for this. In the meantime, he gets to visit the doctor with regularity due to the inconsiderate asshats who think it's okay to come to work highly contagious.

Thanks, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled list o' shit.

Julie

[VOX]

48. Yes! As in, Thank you for **not** sharing!

:kick:

[sus]

62. How about when they bring their snot-nosed devil spawn into the office?

Hello! I work in a freaking daycare now! Thanks for giving me the plague!

[pdmike]

45. Jerk Drivers

The following drivers:

1. You want to turn left at a red light. There is one car in front of you, also wanting to turn left. Light turns green. Car in front of you just sits there - does not pull into the intersection. Opposing traffic is nonstop, of course. When light finally turns yellow, guy in front finally creeps through his left turn, totally screwing you (and all behind you). Now you have to wait until next green light.

2. You want to turn right at the upcoming intersection. Two or three cars are stopped at the red light ahead of you in the fast (No. 1) lane. Some inconsiderate jerk who wants to go straight and who wants to get ahead of the cars already waiting, pulls to the right and waits there - effectively blocking you from making a right turn on the red.

3. Freeway is jammed. A long, off ramp appears. Rude, pushy jerk (usually driving BMW) pulls over, onto the off ramp. He has no intention of getting off - all he wants to do is speed by everyone else and then crowd in again when he gets to the end of the off ramp.

4. You are waiting at a stop sign to make left turn onto a through street. Car is coming from your left. It is far enough away so that it will take it a while to get to where you are, but close enough so that you will have to wait for it. Car keeps coming. Then, when it gets to where you are, the Adam Henry makes a right turn without signaling. If he had just signaled back, down the road, you could have pulled out a long time before he ever got there.

[Zookeeper]

50. Excellent list...

May I add one?

You are waiting at a red light at a very busy, crowded intersection. The cars on on the other side of the intersection are making left turns on a green turn arrow. The arrow turns yellow, more cars make their turn. The arrow turns red and a car sneaks through, then another car sneaks through, then we get to the fifth car "sneaking" through the red light, which is holding up a huge line of cars waiting for the opportunity to actually move forward on their green light. If you are more than two or three cars back from the intersection, you're going to end up stuck waiting through another cycle of traffic lights.

Welcome to DU! (I'm not usually this cranky.) :hi:

[IronLionZion]

77. and people who drive in the turning lane

The turning lane is for turning not driving. When you get in the turning lane you are supposed to stop, or make your turn. jerks!

[VOX]

47. Hummer owners/drivers.

I mean, really -- does their f***in' SUV really have to be that f***in' gargantuan?????

What possible **good** is there in a Hummer, or owning one, or driving one? They are wrong in just about every way. They guzzle, they obliverate vision, they hog parking lots, they straddle two lanes of traffic, etc. etc. etc. AND, they are the object of contempt of most other drivers!

There's just no excuse. None.

[fudge stripe cookays]

51. SUV drivers in general, for me.

ESPECIALLY with tinted windows!

Not only can we not see around your huge vehicle, but with tinted windows, you become a ROLLING menace. No one can see anything around you, above you, through you, or on either side of you!

But then these assholes insist of getting in front of you whenever possible to put your life in danger.

Don't get me started on these selfish A**hats.

[Skittles]

55. DITTO

SUVs absolutely disgust me.

[ikojo]

56. People who do not have their bus fare ready

when they board the bus. Some drivers will not leave the bus stop until the passengers have paid. There are too many who don't bother getting their bus fare ready until they have boarded the bus and selected a seat.

Do they think the ride is free?

Also, passengers who will stand in the door so that the bus will wait while their friend SLOWLY approaches the bus from ACROSS THE STREET. Do you think they say thank you to the driver or the other passengers? NO because IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM! Grrrrrrr......

Public transit will try your patience!

[sus]

63. or people(tourists) who block the escalator? single file, people!

get the hell out of my WAY! this isn't a RIDE. move it!

[LynneSin]

64. People who hold up elevators to have conversations

Happened again today - they should be tar & feathered in a public square.

If you want to continue the conversation with the person getting off the elevator, then get off with him/her. DON'T FREAKING HOLD UP THE ELEVATOR FOR 5 MORE MINUTES JUST TO FINISH UP YOUR STUPID FREAKING CONVERSATION!!!

:mad:

[LynneSin]

65. People who leave their cell phones on during work hours

It's like a FREAKING BIZARRO SYMPATHY with all the cell phones that ring during work hours. And I hear these folks on the phone and they AREN'T work related!!! (then again I'm posting on DU).

Please be considerate at work - put your cell phone on silent so you're damn Mozart 40 or that irritating Nokia ring isn't bugging the rest of us who are slacking off at work posting on non-work related websites.

And I found that I can put my cell phone on silent and time it to go back to normal ring at a specific time.

[fudge stripe cookays]

69. One of the girls here has one that plays REO Speedwagon.

REO Speedwagon for the love of God! At long last, have you people no decency??

Argh.

[OKNancy]

66. Movie talkers

I just can't even go out anymore, people are soooooo rude.

[LynneSin]

68. I get in their faces

:mad:

That and people who bring babies/small kids to either inappropriate movies or movies shown at really late times.

Your inability to find a sitter on a Saturday night so you can see a movie about Vampires & Werewolves does NOT mean I have to deal with your screaming obnoxious children (and yes, that really happened, but the entire theater boo'd them out of there!!)

[Zomby Woof]

67. just about everyone

Why make too fine a point of delineating specific members of the species? :hurts:

[phillybri]

70. Fundamentalist Christians & and people w/ no sense of humor...

:grr:

[Maestro]

75. Exactly!

[LynneSin]

72. People who leave conferences and cont. their meeting OUTSIDE that room

:mad:

I just recently moved cubicles and I'm on the other side about 10 feet from a conference room.

When you leave the conference room, please be considerate and remember that people are working here and really are NOT interested in your meeting.

Geez, these people left a meeting about 20 minute ago and just finally brokeup their impromptu gathering outside that room just a few minute ago. They weren't even from our department or reside on our floor

:mad:

[sus]

73. disguise your voice and yell,

"Somebody needs to drink them a tall glass of shut up juice!"

[WLKjr]

74. People who go to the store

looking for something the store no longer carries, you inform the person where they can still get some, and that it is still availible through your store online only. They acknowledge that they already know this but they don't want to go anywhere else and they don't want to pay s&h. They then proceed to get pissed and say how your store does not support them and that they will never shop there again..........those kinds of people piss me off.


I could write a book on people like this I encounter them so much, no matter where I go.

[Lautremont]

76. Liberals...

...and calm down. I mean capital-L Liberals, the ones who, through their incompetence and greed are about to hand my country over to a marble-eyed fascist with fake hair and a social conservative agenda on par with your Chimphead's.

Also these freeper freaks get me down. And the dreaded SUV/cell phone combo. Why is it that the same sort of personality which gives people a need to buy the biggest, most dangerous vehicle on the road also causes them to make it that much more dangerous by gabbing on the phone while driving it?

[boobooday]

80. Yes, the Cell Phone users who don't get it

Did you hear about the flight that was delayed because a woman wouldn't hang up her cell phone call when the air marshal asked her, saying it would be "rude" to the person she was talking to?

Never mind the hundred plus people on the plane . . .

Oh, I'm praying for you up there -- I hope it comes out okay! Canada has kept my hope alive throughout this thing with their sensible positions!

http://www.wgoeshome.com

[Lautremont]

82. Thanks for those prayers - we'll need them.

It looks worse every day. I saw three huge buses with Harper's grim visage painted hugely on the side, and I shuddered. Was this a vision of some terrible future? No, it was just his campaign convoy, but still, very spooky.

Everyone in DU land please send the vibe up this way on June 28th, and we'll do the same for you come November.

[geniph]

78. People who bring infants and toddlers to choral concerts

We'll see just how much MORE pissed I am about this after Saturday (the chorus I sing with has a concert Saturday night, and I know for a fact some people are bringing babies and toddlers). Now, this is a more than 2-hour show, with many songs on the quiet side. I can guaran-damn-tee you we'll be interrupted by shrieking at least once and probably by toddlers running around the place, too. That is too long to expect to hold a small child's attention, for heavens' sakes - it's no kindness to kids that little to drag them to something and expect them to be still for 2-1/2 hours. But we've worked really hard to make these songs sound nice, and crying babies do NOT improve our concentration or harmonies.

[LynneSin]

81. I hate it when they bring them to weddings

Although I had one friend who solved that problem - she hired 2 teenage girls to run a nursery during the service
