What makes you overreact and how often?

[someonehairy-ish]

Ah... that moment in COD hardcore mode where your idiot team mate runs in your line of fire and gets you booted out of a match you were winning. Things like that.

But also shitey reality TV, shitey bands, buggy computers... lots of things annoy me more than they should.

People who say they like metal when actually they just like 'Enter Sandman' and some Linkin Park songs. Fuuuu-

It's a problem because I do it myself sometimes, but when people laugh at their own jokes, usually involving some overused meme. I seethe on the inside, but the closest I have gotten to doing something about it is questioning just why it's funny.

 

[Kapri]

People, like the gentleman I met last night in a bar, who thinks Obama is a communist. *smacks head* Glenn Beck, much?

I need to stop engaging people like this otherwise I'll just fly off the handle.

 

[deserteagleeye]

People regurgitating old memes and viral videos into a conversation. Or just flat out saying it without any context.

 

[Sir Pootis]

When the enemy team has 3 or more Pyros. Pyro spam just infuriates me.

 

[mParadox]

I've seen my friends over react over sports. But that's natural occurrence. Something competition will spawn regardless.

I tend to be level headed most of the time. I really dislike being depressed, which is from where most over reactions spawn. <.< I'm not depressed most of the time. But when it does happen, I tend to stay far far away from friends and family, preferably sleeping it off so I don't do weird ass stuff.

SQUIDS!

GIANT FUCKING SQUIDS!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THEIR DEAL!?!

In all seriousness though, in terms of what I 'over' react to, I couldn't really say, since I'm more the kind of person who just... reacts.

When you get in a semi-heated debate with someone and after you definitively prove them wrong, they play it off like they never cared in the first place. I don't care that you're wrong, I care that you're shitty enough to try making me come across as an over analytic douche. Then I AM a douche for getting mad at them for invalidating me being correct. FUCK YOU

This doesn't happen too much, but the person I'm thinking of does it in such a way that it makes me rage. They also start half laughing and saying they don't care when proven wrong.

Oh I also hate when people criticize my taste in music in a snobby hipster shit way. I know you're infinitely wiser than I will ever be, just let me enjoy my John Williams soundtracks you prick. Btw, when you have the special autism that lets you memorize all the words to EVERY song, please, feel free to sing it in your head. I don't want to hear your shit voice dripping in my ears during good music.

Quit slurping your cereal and chewing with your mouth open or I'll crack your head. Do you know how disgusting that sounds? It literally makes me lose my appetite on the spot. I'm happy that you have a properly functioning digestive system, but I'll take your word for it, you don't have to show me.

If you get a perfect score on an exam that I just crashed and burned on, shove it in your backpack and pretend there wasn't a test. Knowing you got a better grade actually makes me feel WORSE about myself, so kindly shut the fuck up and continue sucking the teachers dick as always.

People that ask the same question over, and over, and over make me want to rip my ears off. If I don't give you an answer the first time, I'll tell you when I find out. Don't keep asking me every time you see my face enter the vicinity. When I do finally tell you an answer, don't ask me if I'm being serious you momo, you know damn well I was serious.

One last bit, if you're over sensitive to language and sexuality, go fuck your mother in the ass. It's 2012, you don't need to have an emotional breakdown from hearing a string of words. That's all they are, WORDS.

I guess I overreact too much, but I'm just being honest. This was good for venting my rage.

 

[neoontime]

Fandoms tend to make me overreact. I don't mean to be the guy to hate things that are popular but when people like something so much that they can't take criticism or shove their fandom everywhere, which absolutely reduces all known creativity, I tend to rage.

IRL: I tend to overreact when someone tells me to shut up. Even when saying it jokingly to me it really hits hard. I don't speak much so it really hurts when someone says it to me. I've gotten into some big useless arguments that started from nothing just because someone told me to shut up.

I actually found out that one girl was religious in my class. She was all like "Yes, I do believe that God exists". When I heard that I slowly turn my head away from my laptop and was about to tell her my opinion on the matter, then I realized that if I did that I would be kind of an ass. But damn, I wanted to.

People like this make me overreact. A person has an opinion or belief different to you, isn't trying to push it on you or thinks she's better for it, and you want to make your dick feel big by telling her she's wrong. You are a bad person.

Yeah, people like you make me overreact as well. People can have a different opinion than me as long as that opinion doesn't hurt anyone. Religion DO hurt people. A lot of people. All over the world.

 

[lRookiel]

A few random things in LoL make me overeact. First and foremost Nidalee Spears. They are so, so evil.

I was playing Shaco today and I just under half health and was chilling under a tower after a tower dive then suddenly BOOM max range spear coming right at me, I literally shouted OH SHIT! OH oh god, oh fuck i'm ok! i'm ok guys! 8HP!"

This happens every single time I play or get put against Nidalee. It's weird

That was so fucking funny "OH SHIT!!"

OT: Lag, my internet does this spike every once in a while (Daily basis), I don't know when it's going to strike either. I end up dying or not being able to move for about 10 seconds and it majorly pisses me off.

 

[Cyfu]

Yeah, people like you make me overreact as well. People can have a different opinion than me as long as that opinion doesn't hurt anyone. Religion DO hurt people. A lot of people. All over the world.

And you saw this person hurt someone? No? Well then, guess you're talking out of your arse.

Well if you read what I wrote again, properly this time, you will see that I never said that she hurt anyone. I said that religion do.

Cans that don't stack. Who's idea was this? I demand to know! What kind of dipshit designs a can that doesn't stack correctly?! I'll be trying to stack some cans in my pantry and they never sit right and I've only gotta bump one and they all come crashing down and then one lands on my foot and FRRRFGGGGHRRRAAAARRRRGHG! Especially, especially when it's a can that used to stack! Coke cans used to stack perfectly and they changed the can design to one that doesn't. What the sam shit is this asshattery!?

As someone who is payed to stack those cans, I can say I feel that feel. Curse those dicks in design who don't consider the lowly shelf stackers

 

[Dr. Cakey]

Racism, sexism, etc. don't bother me very much. I can just say "fuck you go die in a fire" and move on. No, I overreact to things far more petty.

Two anime: Elfen Lied and Sword Art Online. 33% of people who watch them consider them to be the best anything ever. 33% consider them to be the worst anything ever. And 33% are neutral towards them. I mean people really really like these (and really really hate them). Hatred is fine. Hatred is great. It's the liking I'm not so okay with. IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

People like this make me overreact. A person has an opinion or belief different to you, isn't trying to push it on you or thinks she's better for it, and you want to make your dick feel big by telling her she's wrong. You are a bad person.

Also these people. These goddamn people who enshrine opinions as untouchable.

-supernatural belief in general really grinds my gears
-the notion that someone's religious beliefs should be treated with undue reverence/deference is another that snaps all those little civility twigs in my brain, they merit no more/no less respect than a political option.
-the concept of faith (belief in absence/in spite of evidence)
-being offended doesn't make one right and if your purportedly deeply held, irrational beliefs are so easily threatened by dissenting views that you wish others silenced in any way, then you can, respectively, go fornicate yourself with a large, rusty, barb-wire entwined pipe.
-artists asking for "constructive criticism" that get indignant when their work is criticized.
-willful/boastful ignorance - lack of knowledge isn't shameful, deliberately refusing to learn is.
-our propensity towards dominance hierarchies.
-refusal to entertain the idea that one could be wrong
-spite
-our insidious tendency to equate beauty with good and extraverts with competence
-people who look down on science, or enjoy its fruits while denouncing its methods.
-people who complain about taxes/refuse to pay taxes but enjoy the services they pay for
-people who complain about government but cant be arsed to educate themselves on the matter, and make no effort to be part of the democratic process.
-irrational hatred (racism, sexism, homophobia)
-people that believe anything is "too sensitive" or "precious" to be the subject of comedy.
-kids
-the ending to Mass Effect trilogy - It was so bad it gave me cancer!

Basically, I am an angry person, or at least, a very impatient one.
