Why do you dislike people?

[orangebandguy]

There's a lot of things about people that irritate me. Some make me angry, others I just have amused incredulity towards. I don't really hate people in general though.

Here's a list of various things that annoy me, I feel like listing all of a sudden.

Arrogance, in any form.
People who compulsively lie, making up crap on a consistent basis.
General stupidity.
Obnoxiousness.
Inexplicably fucking up playing medic in tf2, despite how easy the class is to play at a pub level.
Eating pizza with a knife and fork or any finger food for that matter, that is something I'll never understand
Talking stupidly fast when working in retail, or constantly mithering me when I'm browsing in a shop. I want to be left alone when I'm browsing.
Saying Two and a Half Men is actually good, and meaning it.
Playing hunter on World of Warcraft, or Rogue in PVP.
Incorrect pronounciation of the letter "z"
Racism, homophobia and any other backward socio-religious prejudice
People who even though they can see they are wrong, continue to argue what they originally argue out of some kind of fear they'll look stupid.
Football
People who hate everyone because they want to seem edgy.
People who moan about how crap their life is, when they have no real need to.
Attention whoring, people who put on the poor-little-me act.
Going on a talent show and not fucking it up for my amusement.
Sitting near where aircraft spawn in any Battlefield game waiting to fly one with 15 other people.

I'll leave it there I think. I could be here all night.

Because I know what they are capable of. Yes, I am cynical, why do you ask?

I dislike being around people in general. It's awkward to feel as though you're supposed to talk to people when you have nothing to say. People often want me to go hang out with them or do things that are simply less fun that whatever I'd do on my own. I suppose it all comes down to the pressure to perform when around people. I don't mean in the sense that I'm lying to them or putting on an act...but rather that I'm constantly sacrificing for the greater good of those around me.

I try to treat everyone with respect, regardless of how I feel about their mannerisms or actions. I think largely because of this reason and my humour, I've never really had anyone in my life that I truly disliked or who really tried to get on my nerves.

 

[Shadow flame master]

Because they always say or do stupid shit to me.

they always play their music at ear blasting volumes.

Btw, the next prick who throws a condom at my face saying that I might need it will have their throat slit.

 

[Sticky Squid]

I dislike everything but I always give them chance to prove they're worth liking.

 

[let's rock]

the only reason I don't have a lot of fondness for a lot of the people I meet is because they're overly emotional brainless reactionary idiots who are so used to society protecting them from the consequences of their rudeness that they now feel entitled to just say whatever they hell they feel like.

This couldn't have been said in a nut shell better without being a threat to people with certain algeries, you sir (or mam, not really sure), have summed up all of humanities existance in just one sentence

 

[scw55]

Hypocrisy is the biggest reason why I dislike people. It's due to growing up and being socically shunned in school because "I'm weird" when them, themselves were the odd weird people.

I was 10 and made the joke "A dog is for Christmas not just for life!" and I got demonised for it. So... it's fine to suffociate a wasp slowly to death but joke about dog abuse and that's evil? Double standards.

I play alot of Heroes of Newerth. You find alot of arsebats in that game. It really convinces you that if there will be an apocalypse, it will be caused by humanity.

*edit* I also have predejuices against chavs and sluts (male and female).
I also can't help it but feel nausiated by flamboyancey, which is ironic as I'm bisexual. I guess I seethingy hate the homosexual stereotype as some of it overlaps to slutiness.

*edit* In Uni, when I was up and about in my flat after 'normal bedtime (11pm)' I would be sure I was quiet, epecially when I went to the kitchen to get some food. Then when I would be in bed at 2am, my flat mates would charge into the flat slamming doors, making shitty noise, giggling, laughing and being oblivious jerks. It pisses me off that I spend so much effort and concern being considerate to other living organisms that they then turn around an metaphorically slapping me in the face. It's a wasted effort. I hate the feeling that people abuse my good-naturedness.

My mentality is to be nice and friendly and helpful and polite to everyone, inless they give me reason not to. Then... I see what I can get away with which is detrimental.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I don't hate ALL people... I just hate small things about MOST people...

Jesus, I won't even bother naming them...

Let me just say this: Chances are that I can find something I hate about you, but it's your personality that decides whether or not I'll look past it...

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

I never judge someone on what music they like or something like that. In fact, some of my best friendships have been made by supporting rival football clubs (I support Arsenal, being from north London).

I will only forge a negative opinion of someone if they are a dick. From my perspective, you have to really overstep the line between banter and being a dick for me to percieve you as a dick. This is why I actually dislike very few people that I actually know.

 

[Renon]

I hate alot of things about everyone, really.. But you can't just go around hating everyone, so i look past most of it.
There's not really just one big thing that pisses me off, rather there's ALOT of small things that annoy me alot.. Wether i like a person or not depends on their general personallity, i guess..
Quality of personality > Quantity of things i hate about you : I'll be your friend. Sadly that is only the case with like 1 out of 10 people.
I usually end up disliking most people i meet.

 

[WolfThomas]

I don't have enough time to hate a lot of people so I usually just have one person I really hate at one time and it's usually a passive-aggressive relationship where they may not even know how much I despise them.

 

[Quantum Star]

Maybe it's just because I'm a diagnosed autistic fellow and I can't quite grasp how people work, but I just can't comprehend why people can be such jerkasses all the time. I have an extreme dislike for people who are loud and obnoxious, act stupid in general, completely ignorant (looking at you Fox News), talking tough but being a complete coward when confronted, and most of all, people who think they are superior to everyone else and talk down to others like they're some dumb animals, waiting to be enlightened by his wonderful, captivating presence.

So yeah.

 

[Khuzaki]

I hate most people because I assume they are stupid until they prove otherwise, and then I probably hate them for being : racist, overly emotional when it's not necessary, abusive, arrogant and I hate people who don't think for themselves.

oddly the people I'm attracted to are arrogant and argumentative >_>

 

[Kiju]

So long as people are imaginative, intelligent, and use the ability to stop and reason things over, I don't mind them.

For example: I don't like people that have no imagination and follow what's written without deviating from it's course. Using the 'best' tactics, characters, weapons, items, or whatever, so that they will have the easiest time winning with the minimal amount of effort that is required to just slam your head on the keyboard and win. All of this without figuring it out on their own, but instead just doing what everyone else does. :\

The death of civilization (or multiplayer games in this case) is stagnation, and these types of people aren't helping it any.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

oddly the people I'm attracted to are arrogant and argumentative >_>

What a coincidence, so am I!

I don't "hate" people, I just leave everyone around me in a default state of trust and interest until they prove to me otherwise. My primary concern is myself, although I trust society enough to contribute to it for both my sake, and making sure everyone else in society is supporting that ultimate concern through maintaining society.

Years upon years of bullying tends to make you rather cynical and apathetic towards other people's problems and bitching..

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I have worked retail for the last eight years. If that isn't enough reason to dislike 90% of the population, then I don't know what is anymore. Most of the people I deal with are rude, inconsiderate, abrasive or just plain mean. Retail has made me hate the general population.

 

[Dusty Fred]

I dislike people according to how threatened by them I feel. Hence I dislike all chavs, because I'm convinced they all want to stab me.

 

[Svenparty]

I get judged on my clothing quite a lot by Facist Chavs and assorted scum. It seems to me the majority of the world want everything exactly as it is with no progression and to boot the world is not exactly to rich in opportunity right now.

 

[sageoftruth]

For me, I'd say cultural dissonance is a major factor. I grew up in the suburbs and was raised to be respectful to other people. This meant not jaywalking if a car was nearby, speaking pleasantly to strangers, not being overly loud when others were nearby, and certainly not harassing strangers just to have fun at their expense.

I live in the city now, and as a result of my upbringing, I can't help but get rattled every time someone shows no consideration for respecting others. I learned though experience that sometimes they're just so used to it that they don't realize how disrespectful it is, but that doesn't stop me from feeling that emotional sting one feels whenever he/she is insulted. Sometimes logic isn't enough to keep emotion at bay. Every time someone walks out into the middle of a busy street without watching for cars, it feels like he's simultaneously flipping off the driver and me for having my set of values.

The other important thing to remember is, with strangers, the first impression is the only impression of them you have and vice versa. You can force yourself to ignore it and move on, but it piles up quickly in the city, until you feel like the city is just a breeding ground for monsters.

 

[Arsen]

I work as a cashier (a teller to the UK'ers...right?) in a major retailer in North America. These are a few of the complaints I encounter on a day to day basis. Note: I will try to not be as self-centered and without perspective as possible, but on any given day...here are some of the things I go through that cause me sheer annoyance.

1. People demand I change the price of an item because of their misunderstanding as to what the actual price was. "Ma'am, just because the item so happened to be located on ANOTHER part of the store, situated on another shelf, and wasn't "moved by us" does not mean I am changing the price for you. The price is what the price is."

[Insert an argument about how we failed to properly put the item in the right location and that it's not his or her fault that the item listed isn't what it should be, and by some choice of logic we have to now change the price to accomodate his or her confusion about the thing because they are "angry"]
Anger ensues. Sidenote: Other customers sometimes "leave items in disorderly locations". This does not constitute a failure on our part to "put the item in the right location". People have hands. They use them.

Moral of the story: People are selfish and make up self-justifications for their behavior. Trying to get me to change the price just because it wasn't where they thought it should be is the same as stealing in my opinion. It's dishonest, without humility, and abusive of the system. And no. The lack of money they make doesn't justify their actions in the slightest.

However, if they are kind, polite, merciful, and understanding towads me....it can be changed. Kindness and atttitude go a looooooooooong way with me.

2. People throw their bags at me and expect me to bag them. I get it, you want to be green and use less plastic bags. It's cool, I'm okay with it. Just...please understand that due to being near two high profile colleges, having to consistently chat, keep an eye on the computer/register, that more often than not I MAY need assistance in bagging these bags. You know...these bags you claim are saving the environment...when you could just put on the right protective gear and get the litter out of rivers and actually do something else that might actuaaallllyyyy help the environment.

Moral of the story: People are self-righteous. They also will do the easy thing to ensure they "feel better" about certain social conditions.

3. People who yell at me over their misunderstanding of our coupon policy. It's one coupon, from the manufacturer, per purchase, not per the item you've bought. Please do not yell at me because you think I am being a fool. I do apologize, but I do not care whether or not "last time you came here someone else did something different". People perform their jobs differently to varying degrees of quality and professionalism. Why yes I will get the manager...and yes, they just agreed with me.

Moral of the story: Most people assume the other person is an major idiot. I am not sure if there is a single word...alright, we'll go with " horrible assumption" here. They also think they can dictate your actions by just being the "customer". I am sorry. I do not bend that way.

That is all I have for now.
I would type more but the "Rise of Nightmares" trailer is making my laptop skip words here.
