People who get inappropriately close when talking to me. I have to resist the urge to poke an elbow out. Accidentally, of course. 
Jedis. Emo little wankers.
I worked with a woman named Anita, who would correct anyone who pronounced her name without the hard “T” sound. I hate her. There’s no other reason why.
Now I work with a woman named “Megan,” who insists that it’s pronounced “Meegan.” How can she not realize she’s pronouncing her own name wrong?!
- people who block the supermarket aisle with their cart
- people, usually groups, who block a walkway to take selfies.
3)people who think others who don’t believe the same way they do are stupid/evil

It was a cruel, long-running joke her parents played on her.
News flash: NYC is not the entire US, even though they might think they are.
If you’re going to do a Gaijin smash, even though Thailand isn’t Japan, you ought to go whole-hog Western. So no shouting oriental words.
It needs to sound like something John Wayne may have bellowed riding hell-for-leather across the open range or running through withering machine gun fire in a European forest. IOW: deep, manly, and short.
Continuing on that aside, was going to say something about the notion of a large Farang plowing through a gathering of Thai schoolgirls, but it would only reinforce an unfortunate stereotype about that fine country…
People who are always late, running late, getting behind schedule, lost track of the time, etc., making the rest of us wait on them.
Many immigrants coming to the midwest have never seen winter before so are unaccustomed to how to deal with it. My neighbors from the Phillipines had never had a house with a furnace and didnt know how to use it.
Someone told me he was working someplace when an Asian family came up and asked him to check their house and see why it was so cold. He went and looked at the furnace. It wasnt turned on. He asked them and they had been living there for a couple years and had no idea what that “thing” was. So he turned it on. Well a couple days later they complained about their high gas bill. He checked and their thermostat was set at like 85 or something which they loved. He explained though about gas heat and the costs and how to set a comfortable temperature on their thermostat that wouldnt cost too much. Plus how to keep doors closed and heat in.
They were nice people though and rewarded him with the best ethnic food he’d ever eaten.
All Blacks.
No, not all blacks, All Blacks, the NZ rugby team.
I’ve done too many double-takes at headlines like “All Blacks to return to South Africa” to feel comfortable supporting them.
Environmentalists, the activist/militant kind.
Nah, but it drives the Germans and German-Swiss up the walls.
People who are highly principled and want you to know it sometimes make the hair on my back stand up. They’re either hiding a horrible secret, or about to start chopping off heads.
Those crazy people who want to keep the Peanuts strip in the local newsy instead of replacing it with an actual funny strip like Cyanide and Happiness can go to hell and play checkers with Satan.
No, but it’s part of the U.S. The only one making an assertion about the entire U.S. was BrightSunshine, who wrote, “Are you from the US? In the US apartments are not owned.” Well, not everywhere they aren’t.
That would be me, but could I play gin instead?
Bad managers–with lousy communication skills & an authoritarian style.
Mmmm…Southern potlucks!
