Your Berserk Button

[krazykidd]

Getting slapped in the face . Punch me , kick me , spit on me , but if you value you life , don't you dare slap me .

Last person to slap me ( in highschool ) got pimpslapped in class with a handfull of chalk , she was black too , so my handmark was clearly on her face . No point in denying it when i reached the principles office . Needless to say no one slapped me every again.

Someone saying that all Christians are something wrong, it's mean and wrong to group up a group of people all based on a certain thing even though each all different, to me comparing my form of Christianity to Catholics bothers me.

That being said a thing bigger than that is people who are christian saying that somebody is gonna burn in hell, it is horribly wrong(and against the bible). I hate the idea of judging people but it bothers me most that a religion that's says that human's don't have the right to judge one another does it the worst.

Surprised it's taken this long to come up (but in some ways, not at all surprised): racism, blatant and covert. I hit racists, period. If there's some overriding reason that I can't smack them, then I attack them verbally. And fuck all that reasoning and understanding shit; I just harangue them and drive them out. I'm the same with sexism and heterosexism and classism and stuff, but racism (being a person who's suffered from it) activates a lot of rage in me.

Also being asked to do something, then having the person who asked tell me what to do regarding the task.

Uh, that's come up several times. It's probably the most common post in this thread.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

When cretins scare people ignorant people away from an other wise great product/medium.
Scapegoating, like the NRA and videogames.
People who like PewDiePie.
Homophobes, racists, sexists and those atheists who won't shut the fuck up about.

 

[Wolf In A Bear Suit]

I actually get very angry when people insult my country genuinely. I don't mind a bit of a poke at us, as long as its in good humor, but genuine discriminating and I lose my shit. Also people whining about their first world problems. People who claim not to care about religion yet spend all their time condemning it, and general ignorance in terms of ones own country.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Everything wrong with society tempts me to press my berserk button, but I must always merely press my rage button, for the consequence of me pressing my berserk button is becoming the punisher...

 

[3aqua]

When People say that poor people are 'just lazy', or that vagrants are homeless because they aren't bothered to get a job. That really annoys me

1.

People who are rude to someone with a disability. I used to take care of someone once a week who couldn't talk but could yell, laugh, etc to let you know how he was feeling. He would also rock back and forth and hit his chest. We were waiting for our food at a restaurant and this one couple kept turning around and staring at him(we were in the booth behind them and he was rocking and giggling). They just kept staring and got up and moved to another table where they kept staring. I seriously wanted to give them both brain damage so they could experience what he does on a daily basis. Also the assholes who think I am holding open the door for them and not the person who is taking careful shuffling steps, who they push past.

2.

People who tell me to "get up" or "wake up" when I am quite obviously awake. For some reason this just gets my blood boiling and I just want to yell.

3.

Drivers who dont signal/check their blind spots. If I had a laser death beam attached to the car there would be far fewer idiots on the road. This week alone I have almost been hit 4 times because some people assume they are the only vehicle on the road and can drift back and forth across the lanes at their leisure.

4.

Adolescent teens. More specifically the girls that giggle like idiots or the ones that talk about sex out loud and think they are being watched by everyone. Also the guys who think that by being a macho douchebag they are somehow cooler and better then everyone. A swift kick to the nuts has always changed their mind in a hurry(yes I am a guy and I have no problem kicking another guy in the nads if he deserves it).

5.

Oblivious people. You know the ones I am talking about. They generally exists in groups of 2-3, although they are in larger groups from time to time and even though the hallway you are walking down can fit 8 people shoulder to shoulder, they somehow spread out just enough so that you cant get by. They also tend to completely ignore you asking them to move as their conversation about the corn in their shit is way more important.

When someone is playing a game and they cheat, and when you call them out on it they just insult you. THat makes me unbelievably angry.

 

[Longstreet]

While most that used to fall under my berserk button has now been down graded to me judging it stupidity, which will cause me to be annoyed at most, unless the push it TOO far. there is still quite a lot that will send me over the edge.

- Attack my friend. Couldn't care less if you attack me, make one of my friends upset / hurt them. i'll. fuck. you. up.

- People who flick the back of my ears. That's a big no no i will do my best to avoid fighting and make damn sure you understand you should not do that again. Don't test me.

- People who interfere when me and someone else is playing a game of pool. We are playing, not you, piss off.

- People who think they can intimidate me (although this and point 2 might happen at the same time) I will easily stare a guy 3 times bigger than me down.

As you might notice, with 3 of the 4 it ends up violently, but hey, you asked for berserk, you get berserk.

On a side note, i always say i'd rather go down fighting, and possibly get my ass handed to me, than just do nothing.

 

[Not Matt]

People who mispronounce repeatedly, saying the word wrong more than once. I get that you can say something wrong once but if you continue saying the word wrong then I get the impression that you don't know the language. And it won't be long before I am five millimeters from your face shouting to the point where my voice is so high pitched only dogs could hear it. This does not apply to writing. Misspellings in writing I am cool with. For some unknown reason

 

[Simonism451]

Honestly, I'm very hard to get to a level of aggravation which could even be barely considered Berserk. Mostly, I'll just roll my eyes semi-ironically like the hipster I am. However, there are a few things:
1. When my computer doesn't do what it's suppossed to do
2. Assholes (defined by Aaron James as someone who systematically allows himself special advantages in interpersonal out of a sense of entitlement and who is incapable of acknowledging any complaint.)
3. The time just before christmas
4. German "Karneval" or "Fasching": There's little that's more depressing than seeing tons of midfourties dressed in various costumes singing songs about horses. The drunkards who shout at two in the morning the rest of the year can at least claim to be noncompliant to society's standards. You people, however, are annoying and boring. Teenagers are excluded from this because they usually see this time as an excuse to fuck.

 

[The Hero Killer]

Being called a geek or a nerd, talking negatively about my family, talking to me while I'm eating, couples and most public displays of happiness, ghetto people.

 

[Skoldpadda]

Telling me to calm down, I've actually fought over it.

This. Actually, to be more precise telling me to calm down when I'm clearly fucking calm.

Related to this: when I'm in a bad mood, I tend to close up, I become silent. And when people adress me, I am curt, although I do my best not to be blunt or rude, just curt (I am using the right words, right? English isn't my first language).

And then the harrassing starts: what's up? something wrong? was it something I said? you want to talk about it? was it this? was it that?

I still, curtly but politely, try to steer them off my back but some people only get encouraged by that.

And all this anger starts building up and I'm mentally assembling my words and positioning them for attack, and then they inevitably push me too far (because after a certain point, there's no hope they'll finally back off) and then a snide remark flies out, or worse, I flip the fuck out.

The snide remark is often reserved for people who are highly annoying with this, but don't yet know how much I hate that shit.
But the flipping out is for those who've known me for years and years and years and still haven't gotten into their skull that when I'm silent and brooding like that, you leave me the fuck alone.

Yep, right words! Good job ^^

There are a bunch of things that really get to me. I dunno, maybe I have anger issues or something (probably):

Being interrupted, especially if they do it jokingly. You think you're being funny? Well I think you deserve a punch in the fucking nose! How's that for funny?

Abusive human relationships. I mean, you hear so many cases of a wife being beaten cause she "loves" her husband and has nowhere to go and it just gets to me. You always have something you can do! Call the cops, go to a family member's house, hell, go to a homeless shelter if it gets you away from that asshat.

Bad drivers. Here in Vancouver, they are everywhere. And it terrifies me. Summer of 2011 my boyfriend and I got hit in our almost brand new car while turning left at an intersection cause some douchebag decided that the yellow light means speed the fuck up and try to get through the intersection before it turned red. Our entire back end on my side was crumpled, all of the airbags deployed, I blacked out and don't know how we got into the lane we were in when I came to, and our car was totaled. All cause some jerk didn't know how to use the brakes. It's been a year and a half and I still have anxiety issues cause of this stupid excuse for a human being. So now, when I see people doing stupid shit like that, I almost want to pull them out of their car and curb-stomp their ass.
