People who leave doors open. For some reason I need them to be shut.
People who don't say thanks or at least acknowledge me when opening doors for them.
People who repeat themselves and drag conversations out far too long while saying nothing they haven't said 5 times already and act like they haven't said it 5 f**kin' times!
People who say they just got to go to the restroom or put shoes on then start doing a bunch of other things that aren't what they said they were going to do.
Messing with my car's radio without my say so.
People who bend the spine of my books or leave them outside.
....there is a lot of things that piss me off right quick. I think I need to let off some steam.

Coughs make me cringe. Nails on a chalkboard, meh, I am usually the one supplying the nails for that but I cannot stand coughing. I think it is because I spent years at my Grandparent's house while my Grandpa was suffering from emphysema. I cannot stand to hear anyone cough for any reason. Hacking coughs are the worst and will eventually lead to me being quite angry if I have to tolerate someone with one for long.
I know what you mean. But it's kind of inescapable because nobody knows any other way of describing it.
I'm in an annoyed mood, so I'm going to give a list:
- People who are unfriendly by default. I know a lot of Goths who do this. Stop pretending to pretend your soul has cancer and smile you spoiled little bastard.
- Moody people. If you want to become incredibly mean every few minutes, don't expect me to give a crap. Your emotions are invalid and irrelevant.
- Burping really loudly deliberately. Shut up. No one cares about your burp.
- Eating loudly. I don't mind hearing people crunch because you can hardly control that, but I hate it when you hear them swallow and hear the saliva in their mouth swish around. It's fucking disgusting.
- People who eat during a movie. Stop it. Can't you go a few hours without eating? The film cost millions and millions of dollars to make and you are sitting there grazing like a pig.
- People who talk during a movie. If you want to talk to your mates, fuck off outside.
- Know-it-alls who feel the need to critcise and comment on situations they know nothing about. The Escapist criticising police officers is a great example. Stop talking out of your backside, you've got no idea what you would do in a split second in a certain situation and stop pretending like you would.
- Wiggers. More specifically, wiggers who aren't from the ghetto. Eminem can be a wigger because he has had a rough childhood. But Tom Hanks' son? Not a chance! Fuck off you poser.
- People who develop weird obsessions with Japan. Stop! If you aren't part of a culture, don't pretend to be. Especially when you know nothing about it. You might think you do, but you don't.
- Obnoxious extroverts. You don't need to show everyone around you what a "funny, entertaining and bubbly" idiot you are. Shut your mouth.
- Introverts. The bad kind. Yeah, I get it. You're shy. I'm incredibly shy too, but that doesn't mean you get a free pass to all social events. Stop being a hermit and go somewhere with your friends.
- The self righteous atheist. You don't believe God exists? Good for you! Stop acting like that makes you a qualified scholar that is smarter than everybody else and get off your high horse you smug bastard. You're as much of an idiot as everyone else.
- The self righteous theist. Just because you believe in God doesn't make you the Dalai Lama. Stop pretending to be completely morally perfect and drop the whole spiritual enlightenment thing. You look like a twat. Also, stop pretending to be nice to everyone you meet yet then turn around and encourage violent and discriminatory politics. Everyone can see through it.
- People who think violence is funny. It makes the line between "funny" and "hurtful" pretty damn vague. And that's one thing that shouldn't be vague.
- People who moan about nothing for no real reason. One of my sisters does this and I can't stand it. "Oh who didn't reset the microwave timer!". Really? Is that really such a pressing issue you have to get upset over? Is it that much of a fucking chore to press clear before you type your time in? Fuck me.
- People who make these lists. Stop pretending anyone cares, Kortney. You stupid *****.
By the way, just in case anyone gets offended by this - it is slightly tongue in cheek. Relax.

People who say FML over every little thing that happens. One of my friends actually posted on facebook "My course gave me homework to do. FML!"
I really hate having dirty hands, apparently. If my hands get sweaty or even slightly dirty, I just gotta wash em. There's that one ad where they show multiple dirty hands, that was pretty much my nightmare XD
Though I'm not really a cleanfreak, it's just I tend to be sensitive, I have sensitive eyes as well

Same here actually. I knew this kid who had a weird obsession with touching people's hair. I would always walk across the street if he was walking on the same side as me. I absolutely hate when people touch my hair. "I don't need your hands touching my hair! Especially since I don't know where your hands have been!"Dgxphyrefightx said:
I also hate it when people overly stereotype. Yes, i am american, no, i am not a complete ignorant jackass.
Let's see...
1. The sound of eating. Yes, I know how hypocritical it is for me to eat and hate other people for doing the same, but do you *really* need to eat that crunchy bagel in the middle of a quite lecture? REALLY.
2. Anti-intellectuals. Yes, I know that science is big and hard and scary. But that doesn't mean that we should return to the days of wagons and polio. Stop saying that. Oh, you think that we're hoighty-toighty and believe that we're better than you because we're educated? Well, we're probably right.
On that subject,
3. Abusers of the English language. I realize that my grammar is anything but perfect, but at least I try. I have read college-level papers (submitted for grading papers, mind you) that could be classified as war crimes. Also, most people don't use "big words" to sound more intelligent. English is peppered with words that all mean something different; your ignorance does not prevent my usage.
To give an example for the last one, I had a relative call me out for using the phrase "elaborate metaphor". /facepalm.
Oh, there's more, of course. But so little time...

"like." I hate this word, I detest it to the very bottom of my dark and twisted soul. Not the verb mind you, I mean the little filler thing people (by which I mean the retard crowd) likes to insert into their insipid banter instead of taking a breath. Secondly are people who end their sentences with prepositions. It's just annoying. Thirdly, the difference between "there," "their," and "they're." No luv, they aren't interchangeable.
Oh, and captcha having nonsensical things like "unimp scaled." I'd really rather have plain vocabulary words, or better yet, word+synonym/antonym. At least that way people might learn something...

I find it extremely annoying when I see someone over the age of ten wearing flip-flops when they are nowhere near a pool or beach (though it's not a good idea to wear flip-flops at a beach).
I also find loud eating sounds, chewing, gulping, slurping etc. to be infuriating.
Finally, the sound of bubble-wrap being popped just grates on my nerves.

Oh, the stories I could tell about that. I've seen papers with hideous grammatical mistakes. Some are quite hilarious, like using "leech" instead of "leach," or "lead" instead of "led" in chemistry papers. I've also seen people submitting papers with there/they're/their mixed up throughout the damn thing. I've also gotten "that's fancy language for a scientific paper" as feedback for...well, I'm not entirely sure. Possibly not doing the above, which meant my paper stood out.Catalyst6 said:
yeah, i dont like it when people eat loudly, unless it is chips, that is kind of unavoidable. also hate slurping, bugs the fuck out of me. then whenever something scrapes against something else (nail on chalkboard, chalk on chalkboard, something on rock, accidentally scraping the middle of your fingernail on something hard so it leaves a trail) just the sound and the feeling makes me shudder. when it is against something soft im fine, but any mineral... just UGH!ThePinkAcidSmurf said:
final one, do not know if this falls into the same category, but whenever i see a sticker, or wet paper, i just feel disgusted for some reason. or rather stickers in any situation but solidly applied against a hard surface, so it may as well be painted on there, so basically partially peeled off or on people, especially tongues, just disgusts me. so my early childhood was basically hell, since stickers were EVERY WHERE, EVERY FUCKING PERSON HAD HALF A DOZEN ON THEIR ARMS 80% OF THE TIME. I COULD BARELY EAT IN PUBLIC OR AT SCHOOL, IT SUCKED.
oh, and sometimes my ocd will make me really pissed when something is just barely off center, or a zipper is not completely zipped up etc. and other things like that, but not always.
then if we ever hang out somehow, keep me away from dust. i got it from my dad, if i sneeze so loud you can hear me from across most houses, depending on the acoustics and background noise. everyone always stares when my dad, my brothers, my mom, or i sneeze in public. especially my dad, he sounds like he is starting to yell at someone, but then you realize it is a sneeze. its kind of funny actuallySoylent Bacon said:
People who break shit in my room and then don't tell me about it. I got this 'toy' spas shotgun that I used ages ago in a little filming event, and apparently somewhere along the line someone forced the folding stock and snapped the locking mechanism. Now I have a floppy stock, let the jokes come rolling in.
