What gets your goat?

[the monopoly guy]

those little kitty pictures that have sayings like "i has a flavor" and what-nto and anyone that says "i has" or "can I has?"

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

I still hate them
I recently saw a black guy in a mint green shirt, he looked like an andes mint, and my friend was flipping out "omg! a black guy at a golf course!? is it tiger woods?!" I was annoyed to no end by this and I wish I would of used my 5 wood for something useful
I hate my five wood with a passion, as well as my pitching wedge...I hate chipping...but I love my 3 wood!
but all love aside I hate white people that want to be black (wiggers) and blaze, we got those around here too, holy hell they're like cockroaches

Christians. the hardcore ones. I myself am a Buddhist and they shun me for my frequent use of the "eff-word" and that I should repent.

They have no idea how naive they are and that if there was a god, that he would be understanding.

sorry for offending anyone

Pfft this is the internet, someone will always be offended.

I'm Lutheran by birth and nature and I have to agree with you here, those religious fanatics that get in peoples faces on the street (or Jehovah's witness' *shivvers*) really get to me.

But, what really gets my goat? The one thing that truly annoys me the most.

People.

Yes yes I know how that sounds, but let's assess what I do for a living. I'm a Systems Administrator who takes Helldesk calls. I get to deal with the dregs of my user base and all they do is ***** and moan about how things never work (not through any fault of my own I should add - I grant them leniencies to prevent whining and they break things). I even have them yelling at me on occasion, though most of them are too scarred to do that now (that was not a mistype).

Have you ever yelled at your mechanic? I doubt it and if you have you probably don't get much good done to your car... what makes you think IT will be any better?

Unfortunately people seem to view IT as a sort of "child" in the business world, whom everyone needs to boss around.

Even more unfortunately, I hate all people, so we tend to get crashes and remote reboots and accidents around here.

The B.O.F.H. is my idol!

Well said. I never got how "don't take oaths, because people screw up from time to time and don't always live up to their promises," meant "don't verbally vent anger."

And now, more things I hate.

- Backstabbers. If someone hates me, I expect them to at least have the decency to tell me to my face why they hate me, rather than talking shit about me when I'm not around.
- My complete obliviousness to the things happening around me. I end up missing so many opportunities because I don't even know they exist.
- The prevailing belief in some idiots that the worth of a man is directly proportional to how many women's cardboard boxes he's stuck his Solid Snake into.
- Donkeys that have no pure essence of life

Stupidity around me.

It's not precisely white people wanting to be black that are the problem; it's white people who want to be ghetto. White people who spend their time tanning to a nice mahogany to look like Halle Berry or who aspire to be the next Tiger Woods aren't particularly annoying; it's the white people who want to be Snoop Dogg, playing their radios way too loud and wearing their pants below their butt cheeks and making funny hand gestures to show that they are "so hood". (Looking at you Dina Lohan. If there's anyone who needs to just shut the hell up about child rearing it's Dina Lohan. And Kathy Hilton. And they BOTH have reality shows! Grrr!)

And I love cats, but LOLCats make me want to step on them.

 

[soul_rune1984]

I don't have a goat but the following really pisses me off:

Children, teenagers, drunken collage students, drunks in general, overly religious people, bus drivers who wait for you to reach the door and then take off, people who treat animals poorly, store clerks who will ask you if they can help you when you don't need help yet when you do, they are nowhere to be found. I could name more but, it would take too long.

 

[Knight Templar]

I don't have a goat, and don't know why somebody would try to take it from me if I had one.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I realize I forgot one thing that really irks me: people who hate politicians for being immoral. Yes, if they do something illegal and dangerous, they should be punished for it. What I'm talking about is people who, for example, said stuff like this about Clinton (William) "If he can cheat on his wife, he can cheat on America!" Seriously, what the hell are you yapping on about? Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, that's true. Want to know who else did? JFK and FDR. I don't hear you talking about them being horrible presidents because of it. Focus on what a president does to his country, not to his family.

Alright, time to write an essay.

Nah, I'm just kidding. Writing essays gets my goat, so I'm keeping this short.

Uhh, let's see. Judgemental/Ignorant people really annoy me. Especially the kind who throw god around all over the place like he's some kind of weapon used to tell other people how to act, as if they've personally met the guy.

Little kids... no... scratch that... anyone in general who uses the anonymous nature of the interwebs or, say, Xbox live, to act like a total twat.

Oh, and chicks who think that they're so hot that if a guy sees them, we instantly become horndogs. I mean, even if she IS the hottest thing walking on the planet, give us a little credit. We don't all think with our "lower" heads.

There's more, but those stick out in my mind. Anything else and this really might turn into an essay...

You should hear the music over here, all drum and bass/rap/r and b/etc, i havent heard any rock or metal music at all. But thats going to change once i get my car, im going to drive around with my screaming metal and rock blaring instead lol, i was joking to my friends that im going to be the pinnacle of political uncorrectness, because surely black people cant like any type of metal or rock music? amirite?

 

[ChristianxKrupps]

Sorry, sarcasm doesnt translate very well into text lol. I'm just saying that most people i talk to(all of the black people anyways)think that a real or "typical" black person doesnt listen to rock music. Oh thats another thing i hate, narrow mindedness, dont tell me a "typical" something something listens/does/etc to a certain something something cause i will call you out on your bullshit straight away.
I think the other guy you're talking about is the guy from Bloc Party

There was a girl riding the school bus routes over and over again, talking to people at the stops, trying to convert them. I was sitting with two girls I had never met before, and the girl approached them, asking if they went to church. Both girls responded they were atheists. She turned to me and I shook my head, saying, "I'm not even going to to get into this." So she turns back to the girls and asks, "So what? You think the earth just popped into existence?" There was along silence, and one of the girls finally says, "I think you have our views mixed up,"

I almost died laughing right then and there. The Christian girl proceeded to ask if we had morals, and we said of course we did, and she said "Those come from God," and quoted the ultimate work of fiction at us. We tried to actually have a decent debate, arguing that morals come from social standards and norms, but it's really difficult when the Bible's being crammed down your throat. We finally just told her to explain dinosaurs and sent her on her merry way.

I don't hate Christians. I went to a Catholic school and I'm currently Wiccan. I just don't think that any one religion is "right" in the eyes of whatever deity's up there, and that it just causes problems when one forces their religion upon someone who doesn't want it.

Long story short, ("too late,") I agree with you and don't find you hateful or a horrible person.

There's a black guy at our Goth Night every week. I've seen a Black Goth! They're super rare! It's like finding the Charizard back in Pokemon booster packs of yore! I should like, get his autograph...

I sincerely hope that was sarcastic enough to be caught by everyone.

I can do you one better, i actually saw a black goth, it was a girl, im serious:O
She came into Iceland a a few months back, she came down the first aisle which i was working in, she had red hair, thick red lipstick, black clothes, the whole shebang, i was stood just staring at her as she passed, when she went i rushed to tell everyone else and they were just huddled around the corner looking at her like she was a figment of their imagination, i even asked one of them to pinch me lol.

Ill never forget that. Ill probably be telling my grandkids this story and they wont believe me lol. "Yeah right grandpa, like you saw a black goth, they dont exist" ¬_¬

I hate it when people think that just cuz they're getting they're ass kicked by someone in an online game they think they're cheating
I hate people that cheat on online games(aimbot)...sometimes they actually ARE cheating

People who use the word 'addicting'...

People who put animals before humans...
