[li]Jerry Springer and shock jocks. They are a disgrace. [/li][li]People who cheat on their spouses and/or create children they don’t have the maturity to take care of. Get ye some honor. [/li][li]Actors who threaten to leave the country if (insert politican) is elected. Don’t let the door hit you in your ass on the way out. [/li][li]Pro athletes who whine about how they should be getting paid more. Let me see if I can find a tear to shed for you.[/li][li]Lawyers who have helped create the “someone ELSE is to blame and they should pay” culture we live in. [/li][li]Fraudulent CEO’s. They hurt the very people by whose labor they made millions of dollars. And they harmed America by making people afraid of the stock market. [/li][li]Politicans who are PAC whores. Get some courage. [/li][li]Manufacturers who won’t stand by their products. I’ll never buy another Chrysler product as long as I live. Two new transmissions and one new engine after 76,000 miles is NOT normal wear and tear. [/li][li]Celebrities who hawk merchandise on infomercials. Yeah, I’m sure I’ll look like Christie Brinkley if I’d just buy the Gazelle. [/li][li]Telemarketers, especially ones who won’t take the first polite “no” for an answer. [/li][/list=1]
THE SPORK
The stupid thing acts like a spoon when you need a fork, and a fork when you need a spoon.
When a restaurant provides sporks for its patrons it is a sure sign that upper management is never a customer in its own establishment.
-
Musical elitest. You know the type. “I hate people who claim to be x genre but are really just posers because of blah blah ad nauseum.” People who can’t accept that everyone likes something different and that younger kids are fighting for an identity just like WE did when WE were young. Christ. Makes me insane!
-
This new chat language. “hi how r u 2day?” “a/s/l” It just doesn’t have the feel of a real conversation. Blech.
-
“Acceptable” prejudice. Guess what? There are none. If you hate straight people or white people or men or Southerners or whatever, you’re still a prejudice bastard and deserve the same amount of disrespect from the general populace. It amazes me how hateful people can be when they think it’s safe.
-
People who use a cause to hate. i.e. Feminism. Equal rights for women, you say? I’m all over it. Blaming the Patriarchy and their ilk of every wrong ever experienced in the history of all time? Get over yourself.
-
Perpetual victims/drama queens. Everyone has a bit of drama in their day to day life… but if you’re constantly in the center of some horribly twisted melodrama, you’re probably not the victim.
-
My neighbors. Is it really necessary to turn your bass up to 900 decibels while I’m trying to sleep/cuddle/watch tv at 3 in the morning? Is it?! IS IT?!! Worse yet is that they’ll do it until exactly 1am on weekends because hell, it’s legal. It may be legal but it still makes me want to run you over with my car.
-
People who can’t be wrong. If you twist logic enough, you can always justify your stance… but that doesn’t make you intelligent. It just makes you frustrating. (I suppose a good number of Religious Fundie’s, hard-core Athiests and any other balls-to-the-wall belief or lack thereof would fit here.)
-
Parents who allow their children the run of their house/their car/the restaurant/the grocery/etc. My GOD, people. Your house/car wouldnt upset me except that this is where it starts. You teach your children that you have no authority here, and you can’t expect all the yelling and pleading and bribing in the world to keep them under control in public. And I honestly wouldnt mind if you let your kid run around in the parkinglot if you didn’t pitch such a fit when I accidentally backed over them.
-
Anti smoking commercials/pamphlets/well-intentioned aquaintances. Give it a break, kids. I don’t smoke in your section, try not to bitch in mine. And for the love of Job, don’t talk to me about smoking being bad for my health in between doughnut bites. It’s bad for me but I enjoy it, I’m sure you can accept that Mr. French-fries-in-one-hand-and-Coca-Cola-in-the-other, right?
-
Wet socks. Ick. Ick. Ick.
-
Religious fundamentalism (mostly Christian/Catholic and Islam).
-
People who cut me off on the road.
-
People who open their car door ALL THE WAY while their car is parked on a street.
-
People who drive slowly in the fast lane.
-
People who blame society or history for all their problems and don’t make any effort to improve their own situation in life.
-
False accusations.
-
Socialists/communists.
-
Personal favorite TV shows that get cancelled.
-
Rising price of gasoline.
-
Physics in general.
Wouldn’t that be an example of that exact same prejudice?
- Ms Dynamite, who told the people at the protest at Hyde park that the Prime Minister was not God. We knew that already. She also thinks that the White middle class pay too much attention to the Holocaust, and too little attention to Black history. If remarks like that were made by me, I would be arrested. And she wants to go into politics to sort out the system! The tradegy of this is that somebody is going to vote her in.<sigh>
2)The Ozzbornes- All I have heard from Mtv for about three weeks is the Ozzbornes the Ozzbornes the Ozzbornes! Oh, and thanks for spawning about 10 other shows devoted to the everyday lives of D-list celebrities. Has all the music dissapeared from the so-called Music television?
3)Avril Lavigne-For the exact same reasons above, enough already about the coverage of dear old Avril. She ain’t punk, but she is one. She has spwaned more copycat bands than I can think of.
4)Lecturers- You enter College and think, hey were all equals here, big mistake. The amount of hassle I have had over frivilous things had made my head spin. It’s a tit- for-tat battle that you have to avoid to get ahead!
5)People who use women- Jesus I’m in the minority at my college, most people I know bragg about how women do this and that for them, with a general ‘there subservient’ tone. Really pisses me off. Especially when they use women for Sex.(go on, make a smart comment then)
6)People who don’t like me smoking, for the love of God, it’s a personal desicion and I’m gonna live with it okay? I do appreciate the ones who try to help me quit.
7)Religion- I believe in God, but I don’t like the structures built around the world to worship him, social or otherwise. Organised religion has caused nearly all wars on the planet up to the present day.
8)Political correctness- Getting rid of the cross of saint george because it might offend minorities is ridiculous.
9)Asylum Seekers (ungrateful ones)- There are so many asylum seekers who actually hate my country it is unbelievable, yet a woman of American decent who lives in this country for 40-odd years is threatened to be evicted out of the country for not having proper documentation. Yet a member of the Taliban gets a house, more money than my mother, who is a tax paying citizen, and legal represenation when his appeal to stay here is not allowed, is fucking amazing. But I do have sympathy for those generally fleeing from persecution.
- Weapons of Mass destruction- This bleeding name for Saddams weapons makes me go crazy, it’s a term that someone has made because the public is so ‘dumb’. Why don’t they call it something else like rocket bombs, or germ bombs. Be a bit more creative guys.
The bottom ten:
*Vomiting. Not on my top ten list of fun things to do.
*Radio stations and T.V. stations that keep announcing that it snowed. I can see that it snowed. I can feel that it snowed. I spent 2 hours digging out my car today and in the process put a big dent in the roof of the car (that was one of my better ideas to climb onto the car and use myself as a snow removal device). Yes, there is snow out there. And if you don’t know about it, go ooze back under your rock because you’re not finished evolving yet.
*incompetence at work
*refrigerated cookie dough (the stuff that is so pre-formed that all you have to do is open the container, put the lump on a cookie sheet, and bake)
*hair on the bathroom floor or the shower drain
*bad breath
*when leftovers are not put into tupperware
*one time use cameras
*anti-smoking advertisements
*diamonds and gold
*sneezing more than three times in a row
Religious fundamentalism that stresses we should abandon scientific development because it is better to rely on god for help.
People who go overboard with their attempts to be gentlemanly with women
Oversensitivity on issues like sexuality, finances, race.
The police when they do more harm than good
Evolution, for giving us these minds & emotions and leaving us defenseless against them.
People who can’t think of 10 things.
