What gets your goat?

[exoneuk]

Bad spelling. Some prime examples from someone I work with:

I'v
Frezzer
Toilit
Som
U

Anyone who spells YOU as simply U... don't even get me started. I'm really bad with this sorta stuff. I will go through every notice I see at work and literally correct all of the spelling and grammar! I hate myself sometimes. Only sometimes. Other times it's quite necessary.

People being condescending towards me. If you want to speak to me like a dog, you can expect me to bite you back.
Jordan and Peter Andre, Kerry Katona and all of the other "celebrities" who are simply famous for being famous.
Geri Halliwell.
Victoria Beckham (and David, except when he's playing decent football).
The rest of the Spice Girls for the whole "WE LOVE EACH OTHER!" tour debacle when it was clearly about the money AND YOU KNOW IT.
My brother playing Bust-A-Move 2 and getting into a proper rage when it's ALL HIS OWN FAULT. You broke my PSOne when you throw that controller at it. You still haven't paid me back for that either! (He's not online but the point still stands)
The fact there's NEVER any tennis coverage in any newspaper outside of Wimbledon except in The Times and I'll be damned if I'm reading that anytime soon!

OH, and I hate the term "assumptions make an ASS of U and ME" - seriously? Whoever thought that up has either got no life or... I think that covers it.

Yeah, not much.

actually no they weren't, the pub part is even wrong, that's the grand lodge of england. the real reason or history is lost unfortunately, one theory is they are the modern version of the knights templar who went into hiding more or less after friday oct 13 1307. the first lodges were in scotland, the english pub lodges copied them and removed most of the jacobian stuff from the ritual

but to answer the question of who the freemasons are they are a group of gentlemen that get together and try to help one another become better men, husbands, fathers and members of society. they also do a lot of charity work and donations, mostly anonymous, the more public side is know as the shriners

Weeeeeeeeeel I only know what I've seen on the discovery channel and read in the Davinchi Code...
And only one of those sources is refutable.
I'm not telling you which one though...

That's okay. A lot of people only know the Shriners as the guys who wear the silly hats and drive the tiny cars at parades. I had the fortune of working with the Shriners at the Zenobia Shrine Circus when it came by. I've done this every year since I was very little- I learned how to swing on the trapeze before I learned to swing on a normal swing, and one year I got to babysit tiger cubs. It was during a local stage crew strike, and they came and asked the Rainbow Girls if any of us had parents willing to help. My mother just signed a waiver instead and I got to play with rather large kittens for a couple of hours. :-D

They did a story on Freemasons on the local news not too long ago because the city of Sandusky, Ohio is laid out in the square and compass, the symbol of the Freemasons. Picture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Square_compasses.svg] Apparently the city was designed by a Mason and so the news was like "Treasure?" (Thank you Nicholas Cage and Hollywood). It was really funny to watch all the local Masons basically tell the news channel they were idiots.

Im gonna go out and say I hate people..

There are exception but thats the general gist of it

More things that get my goat.

-Family Guy, it's not a good show. It's a carbon copy of The Simpsons with sexual and racist humour thrown in. Not saying The Simpsons doesn't have those, Family Guy has them in excess.
-People who DELEBIRATELY MISSINTERPRET WHAT YOU SAY. Included in this category is people who make a sexual joke out of anything.
-People who when I say "America sucks," they assume I'm talking about EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in America, when I'm only talking about the Government.
-Canada Jokes. I'm opposed to these unless it's either over-the-top, hilarious or so dumb you can't help but laugh. "Hey! My favourite shirt! You said it was stolen by Canadians!" Eight points to whoever can guess what that's from.

Baby sit tiger cubs?
Well, people think treasure when they hear Masons is because many successful people in history were masons. So they either think that they have a large amount of treasure, or the secret they keep helps them gain financial success.

AAAAAND to get this back on topic, I think rap music is an oxymoron phrase. I dislike rap music.

I lost any taste in rap music when Nelly made a hit out of a pair of shoes. I've also picked up some respect for my gender (I don't consider myself a feminist) and I hate how women are referred to in derogatory sexual terms.

And I also liked Gwen Stefani until "Bananas," although admittedly, everybody in America can spell the word "bananas" perfectly now. By Jove, I've got it! They should start showing Schoolhouse Rock again when American teenagers reach high school. If they show it enough, it'll increase teenage grammar and spelling subconsciously.

I'd personally prefer having my ears bombarded by educational music then listen to 'fergalicicious' again...

And I know I've already said I hate country, so imagine a paragraph of me ranting on about how I hate it so much here.

How about guys in those games who are all sugar-sweet once they find out you are a girl? And then try hitting on you! HAHAHAHA I hate those guys!

I think you're talking about LOLCats. LOLCats is jokes

Same here, though i never really liked rap music to begin with. Sure the beat is good, albeit repetitive after you've heard it for the umpteenth time but thats about the only good thing that its got going for it.
Even if you're not a feminist it doesnt take a rocket scientist to hear that they sing about women in a degrading way, it kinda says alot about the rap artists themselves and the industry as a whole really if they have to resort to making women sound inferior. And if i have to listen to the fact that a rap artist has more money than another rap artist, can get said rap artist killed easily, has "hoes in different area codes", has shit loads of money, gets high and smokes crack(or any illegal substance for that matter)or can get hold of a "gat" whenever they want then i think i might flip.

I think i may have single handedly listed all of the features of what is in a rap song lol, feel free to add more attributes as we go along.

Also with rap music, its not just about the degradation of women to me, as a young black man myself i hate the fact that the majority of rap artists are also black and that their behaviour is reflected on our race as a whole. It doesnt help that black people are seen as people who will never get anywhere in life and who rob, steal, kill, smoke and other shit, rap artists do not help the stereotype at all, they only enforce it.

I think of myself as a culturally aware, intelligent, young black man and it honestly depresses me and makes me sad when i see other black people who have their trousers half way down their asses, who use words like "N-word", "dawg", "homie", etc, you can speak English, dont be a tool. As if thats not bad enough i myself have been ripped on by black people for liking "white people" music(which in their opinion is rock music)though i dont listen to them cause they dont know me and thats a really narrow minded thing for people to think. I doubt that they even properly listen to their own music at all, or maybe they do and are just so stupid that they accept it and either cant be bothered or dont want to change the image that the media has cast on black people as a whole.
At the end of the day, if anyone labels me "a typical black man" then ill tell them straight to go fuck themselves, they're not worth my time, come back and talk to me when you have your head surgically removed from your ass.
/semi rant lol

Perfectly-justified rant

I had been hoping that was just America. Now I need to reconfigure my plans for the future... maybe I'll just flat out move to Japan instead of just visiting, lol. Must escape the ones with pants around their knees and improper grammar... which admittedly around here consists of more white men than black.

I usually go to the IGUN-Sponsored Goth Night at my favorite club by my University every Wednesday night. Here, everyone's dressed up all crazy-like, with black coating everything and the girls wearing next to nothing. Seriously, there are girls in just lingerie there (I'm not one of them, I don't have the body for that crap). So when my friends dragged me out to a "normal" club a couple weeks ago, I thought I was dressed semi-normally because granted, I was still in all black (as per my usual wardrobe*) but I was actually dressed, lol. Nope. Boy did everyone stare at me for the longest time. I had no idea that to go out clubbing, a girl was required to wear the ugliest looking, shortest dress imaginable with heels that absolutely kill their feet. I was so lost as to what was going on, lol. I didn't know a single song played, either, so it made me feel even more out of place. But when the DJ said "Get all them dirty ho's on the dance floor! Where the dirty ho's at?" I walked out. It was like the icing on the cake.

Long story short ("Too late,"), Lauren's foray into the rap-music club scene was not a pleasant one.

*This is a note to say that I don't wear crazy Tripp pants or other "scene" things, I just happen to own a lot of black clothing due to being in the theatre. My brother's the scene kid, not me.*

I went out for a friends 18th last week and there was alot of rap music and such, i was pretty off it because i was dancing(i never dance)and "whining" on girls alot lol, especially when that song by Lil Wayne came on, god that was awful, and by awful i mean fucking great lol.
I think the white people who are trying to be black people are refered to as W-word(substitute the N in the N-word with a W)over here, they try so hard as well lol. I dont quite know what is so fashionable about wearing your trousers round your ankles and speaking like a r-tard tbh, what is the world coming too? I think i might join you in your permenant relocation to Japan lol, they get all the best technology first, and at rock bottom prices, high yen to british pound conversion ftw

EDIT: I also have a "scene" brother too, he listens to rap music(full bass and loud no less)and does the whole "gangsta" thing as well lol. Its ok for my bro to play his music full blast but if my parents catch a second of my metal on they tell me off

My brother's into the "goth scene" not the "ghetto scene," thank . I'd probably have to hurt him -VERY BADLY- for the latter.

When I taught the Drama classes with my Advisor, as her aid, I would seriously be unable to converse with the students. I'd assign a quiz and get a grumble of "***** crazy if she think I'mma remember this," which would want to make me put my head through the chalkboard. I'd also grade essays a lot harsher than the actual teacher, lol. Every other sentence was circled in red with "Re-word," "I don't understand what you mean," and even the occasional "Wtf?" I also fail to see how one fails a quiz that is entirely fill-in-the-blanks. We HANDED these kids the answers. All they had to do was pay attention in class to remember which words filled the blanks. No extra studying required. Yet after I handed back the graded quizzes, I had a student try to argue that Ibsen wrote "A Midsummer Night's Dream,"

I hate stupid people.
(And if you don't know who wrote "A Midsummer Night's Dream," you fail at LIFE.)
