The Things That Anger You Thread.

I'll never understand the general texture of anti-semitism in the world. People bitch and bitch about the Jews, then you eat out of our hands.

 

It is puzzling stuff, but what exactly do you mean by "eat out of our hands"? Do you just mean selective bigotry?

 

One that I've never understood is Polish humor. Why is the joke that they're really stupid? In my experience, they're bright, just obsessed with cleaning. One time my mom told me I had no respect for her because I left a towel on the floor, or that she failed as a parent because I spilled some pepper on the counter and forgot to wipe it up.

 

My mom said that same thing, only we are Danish decent, so it must be a Northern European thing.

My mom's the same, and half her ancestry is from Appalachian hillfolk, the real life Jed Clampetts. So I imagine that OCD, neat freak, germaphobic mothers are just a standard human tradition.

it saddens me when people bash on religion as a whole. i'm not religious at all, but i'm not going to go around and bash on what other people need as a crutch to live.

 

I am.

 

I just love being a dick. Christopher Hitchens is another of my heroes. What a douchebag!

 

Once I actually thought about religion for a while, I came to the conclusion of "No, I'm not going to let bygones be bygones. Fuck you and the god you rode in on."

 

I don't consider people mean if they bash my love of, say, pornography or serial killers. It's exactly the same principle.

[Retard Girl 0]

Fuck you and the god you rode in on.

 

[Scroby 0]

but anyway, can't people be not religious and NICE?

 

or just nice in general.

 

nnnnnope. I don't think they can.

......Heeeeeeeeeey! I'm a nice guy.

You never contacted me to go to a Rocky Horror show with you, you asshole.

If I ever end up in the Bay Area for any reason, I'm so in for a night o' Rocky.

I think it's a function of coming from humble origins somewhere up the line (my mom's grandparents grew up in horrible living conditions, and her own parents had to work very hard to make it) and thus having a higher appreciation for your quality of life. It's the same mentality that leads people to put plastic on their couches, though we never got that ridiculously ethnic. Ultimately, I'd rather have my mom tell me I must hate her for innocuous cleanliness issues than have a family that doesn't give a shit about anything. I'm not in therapy yet.

Dude you live in Hayward! You're closer to the show than I am........I'll PM you now.

I mean culture-wise. People hate on Jews, and then have this... "Well not, you Spielberg (or insert one of thousands of Jews with massive cultural/economic/political impact here)! You're one of the good ones!" It's like someone who hates black people listening to NWA.

Anti-Polish sentiment probably would be one of the things that angers me, but it's all so ridiculous that I just cannot picture myself getting worked up over it anyway. The most prevalent joke about them in England is that they're all bus drivers.

I'm pissed that I can't just have someone at my work sign a simple worksheet for my landlord for my yearly lease renewal. It's basic shit like, how much an hour I make and average hours per week that would take 20 seconds to fill out.

 

But no, I have to go through this redtape bullshit on-line. They just give me this little note card with only half the information I need to get the authorization release so I can hand my landlord the damn information. I wasn't given a User ID so I can't even request the damn info, so I have to wait for the book keeper to come back from vacation in a week to ask her what the hell I'm supposed to do, because the back up wasn't fully trained to handle shit like this, _and_ the Corporate Help Desk isn't available because their system crashed like three days ago and it's STILL not up.

 

I hate my company sometimes. I have to go through twenty people to get something that 4 years ago would have been me filling it out, and having my manager sign it.

Fucking parody movies, seriously Hollywood needs to stop making them!

Bosses who will happily spend an hour kicking the shit out of you verbally for being 0.001% over on a stat that affects their bonus, but haven't got the time or day to listen to a customer who wants to sing your praises. Twats.

People who type 5.50 or any similar number on a calculator; that zero is so unnecessary.

Fucking people in my neighborhood don't leash their dogs. Even if I'm just letting my dogs out to take a shit on my lawn, they are leashed. I went off on a woman this morning because her dog wandered onto my property this morning and went after the stray kitty that sleeps on our porch. Not only is this a violation of common courtesy, but it's against the law.

I think you may anger a little too easily.

i hate that the kitchen faucet seems to have no mid-range temperature control... it's either lukewarm, or EXTREMELY FUCKING HOT. and moving the handle .000001 micrometers changes it between the two. makes it hard to wash dishes. if it were my faucet, i'd be all taking the shit apart. but it's not my place, so... it's not my place to do it :x

Well, it's something that annoys me.

 

I guess something that really angers me is parents who don't make their kids buckle up. Especially the ones that are running around and jumping all over the backseat, just shows me that they don't give a shit about their kids.

 

 

[Retard Girl 0]

oh, and something else i hate, is living in other people's houses (or apartments, as the case is). i can't wait to get back into my own place.

Agree, it's just an old and tired formula now.

That and they stopped being funny once I hit puberty.

Code enforcement and the stupid notices they write. Just mowed the lawn two weeks ago and it's already too long for them. Fuck them and the stupid Mexican lady that drives in her little car and calls code enforcement on everyone.

I don't like people who put dead relatives on clothing as tributes, but particularly if they were old. Nobody cares and nobody wants to look at old people.

 

Tattoos are slightly better, but make sure they're good and they depict the person in their prime.

I never got the "wearing a picture of Nana" either. I mean I understand it in the context of a family reunion and that person is the "spawn point" I got dragged to a huge 7 generations back one when I was in high school, but the picture was an old school Lincoln style portrait and my forefather had kick ass mutton chops and who ever designed the shirt made it look almost fashionable with a tan shirt and made it look grainy and stuff and the lettering was like a Wanted Poster but read Leavitt Family Reunion: Hide the Kids.

 

Other people I know to avoid conversation with is anyone wearing a Tweety or Tinkerbell shirt "that shows attitude." Like, "I'm the Boss" with Tink giving her best Sammy Jackson stare. Pretty much anyone over the age of 13 who is wearing Disney or Looney Tunes characters and aren't at a theme park should be avoided actually.

It's all about Mac Dre up here... or actually down here, from your vantage point.

People that expected to be waited on hand and foot in a busy sitdown restaurant can go suck it.

 

My girlfriend and I went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It's a pretty packed house and we waited for about 15 minutes to sit, which I thought was surprisingly quick. We got seated next to a group of heavy-set folks. The woman in the group asks for a slice of cheesecake while the waitress taking our order and then yells out "EXCUSE ME! I'd like this pie NOW!" I'm thinking "Bitch...she is taking somebody else's order. You need to just chill." So we finish up ordering and the waitress turns around and just gets unnecessarily tongue-lashed about how unprofessional she's being. Seriously? Is the waitress being the unprofessional here, ma'am? And after all that, her party only tipped the poor girl $5 on an $80 meal. We tipped $15 on our $50 meal out of sheer sympathy.
