What really stupid things do you think less of people for?

Twickster’s Observation :If you drive a Hummer you are an ASSHOLE.
People who talk ad nauseum about their children.
I have kids. I love my kids. When I talk about my kids, I mention the daily or weekly* Funny* that comes out my kids’ mouths.(and to quietly mention they are straight A students, TYVM. To discuss AD fucking Nauseum about EVERY FUCKING ASPECT of your Precious Snowflakes daily fucking routine is rude and wrong. ( And your kid is just a carbon copy of your bland suckage, mkay? You aren’t special, neither are they.)

Scrapbooking is a sign of the Apocalypse.

If you watch ANY daytime TV at all ( talk shows, most game shows, QVC) you are a tool and your brain is stupider than my pile of compost. (Cash cab and JeopardyWhich needs some serious expresso are exempt from this as I like them.)

If you beleive that GOD or JESUS talks to you (Yes you!) directly, you clearly need to be medicated.

If you watch Reality TV at all, you should be sterlized.

If you tell me you don’t have time for X (reading/knitting/taking a hot bath/somekind of hobby) apparently being a martyr to your family/children is more important.

People who take rec sports too seriously. Actually, any sport/religion/political leaning should never be taken too seriously.

People who don’t like to read. You are dead to me.

If you take the same vacation to the same place every year. I don’t get it.

The pettiest thing I can think of would be baseball caps worn sideways. Straight or backwards, fine. Sideways? You look like an idiot. Seriously.

People (i.e. students, although that is sometimes a hard sell; students=people) who are constantly (and loudly) bragging about how little they have read in their life.

If we have triplets, I’m naming them Ricky, Ticky, and Tavey.

What?

What if I put them on my bicycle?
If they hand from the back of my seat, imagine how it’ll make me look!

I’ll admit up front that mine is unfair. I just always have this gut reaction.

People who get alimony payments from their ex-spouse.

Logically, I know there are lots of situations where alimony makes sense, but whenever I hear that someone gets alimony payments from an ex, my immediate thought is that they’re greedy and selfish. I’m willing to correct this opinion once I learn more about that person’s specific situation, but it’s still kind of a “guilty until proven innocent” reaction.

People who constantly send me youtube links or who are constantly talking about the latest youtube videos.

Nitpick: I think you mean mouse POINTER.

Mine is bright yellow and large; it’s easier to see. Stupid middle age. I blame my parents for not being elves.

People who believe the moon landings were faked.

Is it ok if I send you emails with a bajillion LOLcat pictures?
Cause I loves doing that.

My friends, well, they don’t get it.

That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.
They should be Rikki, Tikki and Tavi. :slight_smile:

Um… I’m trying to be more subtle. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

As a Briton living in North Carolina, I get this all the time, from Southerners.

Dopers who start threads that make us want to eviscerate each other, and eat the victim’s intestines while he yet lives.
:slight_smile:

People who use the term “mainstream media” (or even worse, “MSM”) as if it exists as a single entity, and bias and unreliability can be automatically accepted as true.

People with names that are creatively spelled. I should think less of parents who do this and not the person, who had no hand in their own naming, but with parents that stupid, you can’t have had the best genes/rearing. I also think less of parents who do this. If you want name your kid David, don’t name him Dayvyd, please.

Women chewing gum really gross me out.

Men chewing gum don’t bother me.

It’s stupid on both counts. Really, it’s your biz if you wanna chew gum or not, whatever. But there you are.

So Daevid is right out?

No, he means cursor. A mouse pointer is a specific type of cursor.

People who say they wish they could read more but they don’t have time. What they really mean is that they don’t want to read. I read 15 minutes every night before going to bed and I manage to get through about two books a month. Anybody can find 10 or 15 minutes a day to read, don’t pretend that you wish you could but you can’t.
