Things People Say That Piss You Off

[Arsen]

People who don't understand that racism towards each human being in equivalent and that no one's history is technically filled with "more racism" than another's. It's a human flaw yes, but no one has the right to say "X Group has it harder than Y Group". Your saying people have had greater amounts of pain and therefore deserve more consideration of mercy for their actions if they reflect upon their own history in retrospect. Sorry, but racism towards your own group is not higher nor lower than anyone else's.

Likewise, people who don't view racism from a neutral/understanding/humane angle. Just bloody hell quit treatin the so called "racist" peson like the plague and they may form some understanding as to why you feel the way you do. Be open-minded to what effects others and why they think the way they do. Sometimes there are arguments which contain merit and actual logical, heartfelt understanding towards the topic at hand.

When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.

Spoiler: Also, when people use this flag to represent England

Spoiler: When they really mean this

People from England are British, in the same way people from New York are American.

People (often my friends) making statements about their relationships like "I'm stuck with him/her anyway now", "I can't live without him/her anyway, so I'll just have to deal with it." or "It's not ok, but it is as good as it gets."
This enrages me, because those people could be out there, having constructive relationships with nice people, or with themselves. I don't know why breaking up stopped being an option, but this is not sensible anymore.

Ignorant couples that say they "LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" each other. Or "Together Forever". Then the couple breaks up and to be a dick I usually say, "Forever didn't last very long did it?" I think I have a right to say that because it's all about sex now. Or at least, at my age it is.

Good thing i'm smarter than your average teenager.

When people add lol to their comments, even when it's not a laughing matter. Same goes for at the end of their comments. I know it's the internet, but when I see this, it annoys the eff out of me. It makes me wonder are they really smiling behind their screens or are they doing that just to be as random as hell?

And in real life, I hate when people say the "N" word. As a black American myself, I use to say that word alot during my junior high year, and as I got older I said it less until I eventually stopped because it makes me feels distasteful whenever I say that word. It's even worse when you have to see it on the internet when something on the news that includes a black person doing something bad.

the "you mad bro?" comeback and people who just dont listen in an argument but dismiss your point with a very piss poor excuese. It happened to me today. I was on steam and I booted up Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale, and a friend of mine said "NEEEERRRDD" and I replied "Why?" (this is a friend who spends an ungodly amount of his time on team fortress) and he said "You're playing that thing" and I said to him "It's like oblivion, its a fantasy game and you play oblivion," to which he replied "but D&D is gay" and then just kept going "herp derp" whenever I spoke but the moment I said TF2 is just as nerdy he ranted on like hell.

one thing that pisses me off is when people argue over consoles they havent played or games that arent even released

Possibly straying into a sensitive topic...

Spoiler

I know this doesn't really fit in with the tone of the thread, but it's on topic: I find it really, really annoying, frustrating, & even sad when people misuse the word "gay" to mean "stupid," "annoying," or as a just plain bad word.

Nowadays, people use "gay" in the EXACT same ways that the racist bigots used to use the N word. There's nothing you can really do about it, either. If you call them out for it, they just get all defensive, "I would NEVER use the N word! But, I'll say things are gay all I want! I'm not a bigot. That's gay! Stop being a pussy."

Thats what I was going to say, except that gay bothers me less then a certain word that rhymes with maggot, mainly because people use it with more malcontent and only direct it at people. I get really angry and lose a ton of respect for who ever uses it. I lose even more respect for them when they try to justify themselves by saying everyone else does it.

Whenever someone says that one group of people are better than others for some idiotic reason, I wanna punch them in the face.

And kind of variation on 'you have no life'.

Who gets to decide what counts as having a life, then? Did no one have a life in the Dark Ages, then, as clubbing didn't exist, or do the requirements for a life change over time?

Ultimately, I just see the whole concept as the standard 'think and do as we think and do or you're inferior' rubbish. The problem is that it's so widely supported.

Even here, where we rile against people who say 'gamers have no life', it's widespread. For a start, people reply to such accusations along the lines of 'no I do have a life because I also do x, y, z'. So they aren't refuting the set of arbitrary requirements to have a life, only insisting that they meet them. Look at any MMO thread, especially if it mentions WoW by name - there's always at least one who insists that the game is for 'no lifers'. Then, commenting on a story accusing games of being shut-ins, the same person will insist that the article is rubbish.

I hate when people say something is gay when they mean stupid. Wtf, if you mean stupid say stupid

Also, I'm a grammar nazi so take your pick of common grammar errors

Sister: "What's that"?

[elcamino41383]

"Fuck my life" annoys the shit out of me. Especially because it's often used for the most mundane and hardly ground breaking things that happen in someone's life, such as them swallowing a piece of gum or something stupid like that. Most people's lives really aren't THAT bad, especially when compared to some others, in say, 3rd world countries. Yeah it sucks you got a flat tire, but it's not the end of the fucking world for you.

Also the word "coupon." When people pronounce it as "Qpon" as opposed to "coopon" (the proper way.) That grates on my nerves.

 

[BlackSaint09]

When people call anime a childs cartoon.
I just wanna then strap them infront of a PC and force them to watch some crazy murder anime or something.

 

[MisterM2402]

"AH-juh-tive" when they mean Adjective (Ah-JECK-tive)

(Ah-JECK-tive)... that's quite an odd syllable stress, don't think I've heard anyone say it like that before I and everyone I know says [aj-ik-tiv], as shown here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective

Your very argument is void. BRITS consist of WELSH, ENGLISH and SCOTTISH.

Your argument is void. BRITS consist of WELSH, ENGLISH, SCOTTISH and NORTHERN IRISH.

An elipsis has THREE dots...!
I hate most misconceptions of the Scottish people (whisky, haggis, bagpipes, kilts [or SKIRTS as some call them], miserliness, etc.)

 

[MasterProcrastinator]

"A whole nother."
This annoys me a whole lot.

 

[VaderMan92]

when people say "well we'll just have to agree to disagree" when they have no refuting argument.

 

[USSR]

- K

- Whatever

- "Up to you." *gives suggestions* "Aw hell no."

Just little stuff.
Not much.

 

[Mutough]

"Wrestling is fake."

Oh, is it really? I had no fucking idea.

 

[Booze Zombie]

"I've got no idea what you're on about."
Fuck off, I'm not "on about" anything and should it be my problem that you're so lacking in FUCKING UNDERSTANDING that you can't even know what that is?!

Why does this phrase annoy me so much? Is it the condecending attitude that goes with it or just all of the various insulting things it implies?!
