CONFESS!!!!!! What pisses you off the most

[LynneSin]

Post it here - get it out in the open. What pisses you off the most

Me - double parking ESPECIALLY if the idiot would drive about 10 feet further they would find a place to pull over safely!

[Rambis]

1. People who race to the front of a long line of cars

in the opposite lane then some fuckin arse licker lets them in! Both should be taken from their respective cars and beaten.

[redqueen]

5. Lost Highway style.

Hell yeah.

[charlie and algernon]

7. I hate that, if there are clearly marked signs that a lane is ending

at a specified point and you stubbornly continue down it till the end, I will not let you in the other lane.

[Rambis]

11. Happens to me daily

there is a traffic light with 20 cars backed up. People get in the other lane at the light then race forward and if they don't make it by the stop sign down the road... they turn to the right from the left lane and cut me off!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :nuke: :grr:

[LynneSin]

15. I won't let them in - not my fault they didn't realize that was the exit they needed

Last time I'm taking the exit to get to a concert in Philly, so no suprise that the exit line is backed up a bit with all the people getting off that exit not only for the concert but a Philly's game too. So you get these idiots who think they can just cut in the front of that line but edging their way in right before the exit.

My friend's laughed at how brutal I was. I'll edge my car right up to the tailgate of the car in front of me - no cutting in front of me. Screw you!

[Rambis]

20. Well done!

I usually give them one of these on my way by

[insanity]

33. Kills me

Grow a spine and drive defensively; it shows a complete lack of confidence behind the wheel if you're going to let yourself get cut-off and it also increases the chance that you'll get rear ended when you hit the brakes.

[charlie and algernon]

2. Left Lane Campers

if you have no intention of staying with the flow of traffic, get the hell out of the left lane! The left lane is the fast lane, the passing lane, NOT the lane to continue your lazy sunday driving while dozens of cars stack up behind you!

[guitar man]

3. when people make assumptions

and jump to conclusions then cement their brain around those often erroneous assumptions and refuse to listen to anything to the contrary no matter how much sense it makes. :grr:

[redqueen]

4. Inconsiderate behavior.

(That includes the double parking assholes, and many other varieties of assholes as well.)

[madinmaryland]

6. You sig line, Hitler!

[LynneSin]

12. whatever Pol Pot

:eyes:

[TK421]

8. People who call me at work and can't manage to spit out what they want

"Yes....I....ummmmm, I would like, uhh, tickets to the...ummmmmmm, that show you're having"

SPIT IT OUT!!!!! were you not prepared for this phone call or what?

"Ummm,yeah...ummmm, uhhh, ....." While I have four people at the fucking window waiting because you can't make up your fucking mind what it is you want!!! Why should I have to yank the fucking answer out of your mouth? Know what it is you're ordering, get your damn shit together, and THEN call us!

I just love people who think they are the only ones in the universe and never seem to understand that someone else is actually waiting for something!

[HopeHoops]

9. People yacking on cell phones in the grocery store - about medical problems!

I don't need to hear about somebody's puss-filled toe while I'm in the produce section.

[LynneSin]

10. I do - especially if hat puss-filled toe is being used to sort thru produce

:scared:

[flvegan]

13. Other people's selfishness and lack of consideration.

Yup, that about sums it up.

[TZ]

14. People who think reading teh internets

makes them more of an expert than people with actual college degrees/work experience.

[Initech]

16. People who post on message boards and feel the need to correct everyone elses spelling/grammar.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. "Designer" dogs (it's a fucking puppy mill mutt) and PA Drivers

[taterguy]

18. Long lines for the rest room

[TK421]

19. Another thing....this time of year pisses me off! I HATE the heat!

as soon as it gets hot outside, the dumb-shits come pouring out of the fucking woodwork! People are louder, more obnoxious, and more irritable. What really pisses me off is when locals ( who have lived here all or most of their lives ) are out and about being more annoying than usual. " Oh, I'm so glad the summer has arrived...that was such a long winter"...

NO IT FUCKING WASN'T, YOU DUMB-SHIT!!! We had two significant snowfalls.....do these people really forget that quickly? You want oppressive heat and filthy, stinking humidity where sweat is constantly dripping down your face and your clothes are sticking to your body? GO TO FLORIDA!!!

[kentauros]

28. You wouldn't like me in what you call "winter"

;)

I am so very happy that in Houston we really only have Summer with a slight cooling period at the end and beginning of each year. The rest of the time I am only miserable inside the office since no office building ever designed or built seems to understand anything but hot or cold.

It's finally getting warm here these days, such that I can recover from the meat-locker conditions in the office with a nice heat-soak in the car (doors closed, windows up, engine off, ahhhhhhhhhh...) Plus, as I am fully acclimated to these kinds of conditions (hay! I'm a native Texan :P) I don't start to sweat much until it's in the 90s.

My motto: I'd rather sweat than shiver!

Plus, you can always take clothing off if you're caught somewhere that gets too hot. The opposite is not so forgiving. If you don't have enough clothing in someplace that gets cold, you're SOL.

[TK421]

29. Only so much you can take off ( or get ticketed )

It drives me nuts that two of my coworkers have the thermostat set to 82 in June, July!

and it pisses me off when they complain about me moving it to 72 x(

[kentauros]

31. I would complain about 72 as well

;)

78-79 is best. Short sleeves, shorts, no shivering, goosebumps or cold noses and sniffling :D

[TK421]

32. You, my friend wouldn't like it in this office right now....

I can almost see my breath! :D

[kentauros]

34. Which is why you wouldn't like me in that office, either!

You think Republicans whine? :P

[The2ndWheel]

46. Yeah, I notice those fair weather fans too

Anything above 30 is too hot.

[LeftinOH]

21. People driving around with their sound system/"music" cranked up

-so loud that it rattles the fillings in my teeth. Some people insist that it doesn't bother them, and they "just tune it out". WTF?..HOW?

[mreilly]

22. Right-wingers who pollute internet forums

Boston.com is a prime example. The forums/comments section of that site is full of sniveling right-wing crybabies shrieking whatever talk-radio nonsense they've heard about Obama. Fortunately, Massachusetts has a very small population of Republicans, but unfortunately they are the biggest bunch of whiners I've seen, probably to make up for their small numbers.

There's been some talk lately that the Boston Globe might fold and since these turds have such hatred for the Globe (just like they hate any publication that doesn't fellate Saint Ronnie and Saint George or pretend that conservative fantasies like cutting taxes for the rich benefits all of us should actually be taken seriously) all they've been doing lately is crowing how they can't wait until the Globe shuts its doors, etc. This, from the twenty-percenters who reject reality in every form and still insist that liberals have destroyed this country and only Republicans have a clue.

I refuse to debate right-wingers since they will just repeat ad nauseum whatever they've heard from Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc. Posting facts means nothing they'll just dismiss it as "liberal BS" if they don't like the contents. So any given article about politics over at that site invariably attracts dozens of "Obama is a socialist!" garbage comments from the mindless peanut gallery. I suppose it's a sign of their frustration that nobody takes them seriously, but to me it completely eliminates the concept of accurate journalism, if partisans can then trot along and post myths intended to counter actual facts.

[LynneSin]

27. We have that with DelawareOnline.com

you'd think we were a rabid - right wing state. Instead it's just the 10 whack jobs in Delaware that have probably 5 sock puppets each trying to make it seem the republicans own our state.

I was watching "Steal this Movie" on HBO - it's the biopic of Abby Hoffman. This is a Nixon tactic. Anytime you have someone out there that might oppose your view point, you make sure you plant 1-2 folks in the audience to create the illusion of opposition. That's how Nixon fought Abbie Hoffman - by generating dissent against him from within the Nixon admin.

[JitterbugPerfume]

23. people in resturaunts and other public places

talking loud on their cell phones as if I give a damn about what they have to say.

Kids running around like little wild injuns while I am trying to shop and their mommy is oblivious to the fact that I am about ready to strangle her for not keeping some minimal control of her little darling indigos

[kentauros]

47. We need to get some savvy techie to take the focused-array speaker concept

(like depicted here http://www.browninnovations.com/sonicbeam.html) and turn it into an anti-cell-phone-conversation portable device. Of course, advertisers latched onto this technology before anyone else, but just imagine being able to project a very loud buzzing noise, or some other excessively annoying sound, at higher volumes than the surrounding noise. And only the person you are directing it at will hear it! :D

[BurtWorm]

24. CONFESS!!! threads.

(Not really.)

What really pisses me off are

* people who stand right in the doorway of a subway car or bus and won't move to let others on or off

* people who slowly and obliviously lead a crowd up the stairs onto a train platform or out of a subway station and then just park themselves at the top of the stairs, often when a train is about to close its doors and leave the station

* not-morbidly-obese people who take up two seats on a train or bus, often with their bags or belongings in one of them, and get angry when you want to sit down and make them move their shit

* young men, usually, who have no conception of other people's personal space on public transportation and who sit with their legs spread wide open

And this is just for starters!

[Javaman]

25. People. nt

[cherish44]

26. Humans in general but self-righteous , judgemental people in particular

Especially when they offer me their unsolicited criticisms regarding my choices for my life. Usually if I do something, I have my reasons, disagree all you want but unless you sign my paychecks, I don't owe you shit and I don't have to explain shit to you.

Yeah, yeah I'm a self-centered bitch, who only cares about myself. Your whiney-ass insignifcant opinion has been noted now kindly piss off.

[LynneSin]

30. People who go barreling onto Elevators without letting the others off first

:grr:

[TZ]

35. I'm sorry. I was so excited about getting out of Delaware that

I wasn't looking where I was going...:P

[insanity]

36. Old People in college

If you're over the age of 37 and want to continue your education I'm totally down; but come to learn and not to argue.

[kentauros]

38. If only it was like "Back to School"

:D

[LynneSin]

40. Or Old School - go Frank the Tank

:D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. can you elaborate on that? a lot of learning is disagreeing and arguiing

what do you mean specifically

[insanity]

43. Sure

I've got no problem for reasonable disagreement and discussion, it helps bring to life the issues we read about and study. I do have a problem with people, no matter what age (and every time I've had an older person in my class they do this) who try and hijack the lecture to either tell stories about how their past life is relevant to the current discussion, treat the professor like fools whose doctorates mean nothing in comparison to what they know, or hold up class time so they can get things explained to them in excessive detail (this is what studying and good note-taking is for).

Here are two examples: a 67 year old man, who was a former Evangelic pastor, always bickered with my professor about the role religion played in Europe. The professor tried to explain to him that yes, religion was important to the formation of Europe, the focus of the class was on the political institutions of Modern Europe and as such talking about the Reformation would not help us understand the European Union. The man then decided to make a handout for the entire class that had nothing to do with anything we had studied. He also called (then) Senator Obama, "that black fellow."

A woman in her late 40s in my German class wastes everyone's time because she refuses to learn why she keeps making the same mistakes and instead takes 5 minutes to translate a simple sentence because she has invested nothing in learning. As a result we all suffer because that is time we could be learning new concepts.

[Tikki]

44. I wish you all would write a book on it or something...

and spell out all the rules for the over 37.

When I attended University in my mid-forties I hardly participated
in any classroom or outside conversation because of just what you said.

I did fine grade wise, but I sure missed out on a good part of what makes college fun.



Tikki

[insanity]

49. The rules are the same no matter what the age

If you want to continue your education then come to class with an open mind and respect for the education of everyone else in your class. Contribute to class in a positive way, but don't hog the floor. Most importantly, if you take a class realize that you are making an investment of personal time to do the work necessary to keep up.

I can think of people who are in there early 20s who break the rules and it is just as annoying. In my experience older learners break the rules more than younger ones.

[redqueen]

45. I'm curious about the specificity of your post.

Why 37? Why not 36? Or 38?

[insanity]

48. Easy

37 sounded like a good cutoff date. Nothing scientific about it, just looked outside a window and said, "37 will do."

I should also add that I've been quite fond of some of the older people in my classes who are amazingly smart and just came back to school because they love learning; generally, however, the older people come to class slightly closed mind and then don't invest the time and energy it takes to learn.

Edit: Also, the Arsenal match made me really sad :( Sunday against Chelsea could be a good one though.

[redqueen]

52. Heh... I hear ya.

The first lecture class I signed up for last semester had another older woman in it, and she kept interrupting the professor to rattle off the most inane and barely even tangentially-related crap. *Unbelievably* annoying. I was so relieved that I was able to switch classes. :D


oh and on edit: I'm still not ready to talk about what happened on Tuesday. :(

[BeachBaby]

37. Unsolicited advice. Don't get me started.

[LynneSin]

39. I say my cell phone is ringing and that it's on vibrate

when those type of people start giving me advice

:hide:

[LostinVA]

51. I think you need to see a professional about feeling this way

[Roon]

42. People who buy and scratch lottery tickets in line...eom

[kentauros]

50. That doesn't bother me near as much as all the used scratch-off tickets

littered everywhere when they don't win.

I've considered writing to the Texas Lottery Commission for an idea that could curb the littering forever. Give away a free ticket (like to one of the "lesser" winning scratch-offs) for every 100 used tickets picked up and turned in. It might make for more work for the lottery people and store clerks, but it would stop the littering overnight :D

[libodem]

53. That the Bush Mis Administration

seems to be walking away free unchallenged, that Condi and Yoo have jobs, where they can influence young minds, and that fuck-wad life-time appointed judge Doodypile what's his fuck, is still on the bench, that's got me grittin' my teeth. That and I don't know how to buddy up in the lounge with the 'cliques'. My threads drop off with no responses and my comments are ignored. I'm a friendly person in real life and a dud on the boards. I blame you all! (kidding, I hope you get that, maybe no one understands the odd sense of humor?)

[scheming daemons]

54. I REALLY get pissed off when I get pissed on

[Throd]

55. People who steal the squeegees from the gas station

[NewJeffCT]

56. People who start "CONFESS" threads

just kidding.

:P

No idea what would piss me off the most, but I guess it would have to be many of the Bush era misdeeds and the fact that the Democrats didn't challenge them strongly enough.

[carlyhippy]

57. shoppers who stand in the middle of the effing aisle and talk, blocking the aisle with their carts

one afternoon 2 uppity women stand in the aisle and I can't get by...I stand there, they look at me and keep talking, I ram one of their carts into the display, they gave me a dirty look and then disperse. It should have never come to that...go and sit in the cafe if you need to gossip.

[Dogtown]

58. People

That's right, all of you, get off my lawn right now or I'm calling the cops...
