Things I HATE:

[Rick Lee]

Oh, I forgot the one I hate the most of all - "diversity."

[Roosterrusek]

Observation....were we to come up with a list of actual ways to prevent all the things we hate, would we then start to come up with a biatch thread about how uptight, PC and impersonal we all are?

Oh and BTW, the two things I hate are being interupted and asking a question and being ignored. If you interupt me it means you can't abide by rational rules of discourse and don't see any reason to respect my argument...and you're a douchenozzle. Ignoring me if I ask a question and you obviously heard it, that's a clear indication you're a swamp donkey and should be treated as such.

[dhoward]

"Douchenozzle."
"Swamp Donkey."
I love PPOT.

[QUOTE=dhoward;4463689]Every time I take my stepson to the pet store for chinchilla food, the checkout person says "Oh! Do you have a chinchilla?"
We usually spend the drive home thinking up smartass retorts.[/QUOTE

with a straight face say NO. and walk off.

we keep foster kids. we had one that was about 12 months ( why they just dont say 1, i dont know) anyway, the other was 14 months. when people would ask how old they were, we would answer with a straight face and then sit there and watch them do the math.

another good one was when a lady asked about one of "our" kids and she said he looks just like you, with a kinda hurt face i said, im not the father. priceless!

"Its only money"

That crap pisses me off. If you are that casual about it, just give it to me.

#1 PET PEEVE: Neighbors that habitually let their trash blow in my yard and have vehicles that leak all over the street. ZERO regard for the surroundings and let their clothes hang out all winter on the clothesline frozen solid. The family never has any money but has 11 crap vehicles.

#2 When I make a purchase at the gas station and hand the clerk my credit card; he/she proceeds to crank it through the card reader like its fast pitch softball. Then they look at me and say "huh, its not reading your card" and they wind up and crank it through again full force.

#3 - "Oriented". Sorry, its not "orien-tated".

#4- When I have to ask for a receipt when I've purchased something.

[Amail]

OOh! Ooh! Stupid ring tones! I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that I'd be secretly happy that my coworkers heard "Take a Chance on Me" when I get a call on the phone (not that there's anything wrong with Abba).

Just give me a little chirp or ring, or even better, vibrate; that's businesslike and as unobtrusive as it gets.

+100
What could possibly make them think faster is better?
They usually end up wrecking the card eventually too...

[Burnin' oil]

I hate the fact that I can't remember all the things I hate.

[targa911S]

It's NUCLEAR dammit!

Not NUCULUR!

[targa911S]

Jumbo shrimp
people who BS in the isle at the grocery store and block the way....call them at home ok?
People that come up to me on stage in the middle of a song to ask a stupid question like " Can you play some Chicago?" Sure a-hole do you see an Fing horn section up here? It's TRIO for chrissake! And by the way where do you work so I can come over and ask you stupid questions while you're working on something important!

Ooooh, that's good! And worse yet, when they let the entire freaking song play before answering. There's a lot to hate related to cell phones.

Another one: cell phone dork holsters. You might have been cool in 1992 when you proudly displayed your Motorola Startac on your hip, but today you're one of the 99% of the population that has one. If I can carry a Blackberry in my pocket, I know your flip phone will fit.

When I walk into the office wearing riding gear and carrying my helmet I get asked " did you ride in today?".

[VINMAN]

Bluetooth earpieces. Especially the ones that wear them 24hrs a day.

Just say yes, and with these boots I get good traction

it was a joke just to mess with people but everyone always said, yes.

Reminds me of a similar guy I know. If anyone asked him if he'd lived here all his life, he'd reply, "Not yet."

L O L funny... made my day.

The only ones I can think of at the moment... BTW, don't hate the sayer, just the way they say it:

* the act of saying "hot water heater"...add me to the list of haters for that

* the act of saying real-it-er instead of real-ter for realtor

* the act of saying jew-luh-ree instead of joolree for jewelry

* the act of being a pinhead and driving 20 MPH through a residential area where the speed limit is 25, and then blowing your horn at me when I go around you

[peppy]

When I call a particular someones cell phone(my dumb a$$ sister) and music starts blaring in my Fing ear. I have to listen through this so I can leave a message.

On second thought it is not the phone it is my sister I don't like.

[dhoward]

I hate when Jesus appears suddenly in my holographic picture of an icy creek.

[looneybin]

how about when they say "he died doing what he loved"
WTF is that, did he love plunging to the ground after his parachute didn't open???
Did he love freezing to death when he got lost skiing off trail???
No he didn't die doing whe loved - he probably said THIS SUCKS !!!!
