I’m talking about one where, no matter how hard you try, you can’t freaking imagine the complicated combination of circumstances that would lead you to even entertaining the theoretical possibility that there might be a legitimate counterexample.
For me: Anyone who drives a Hummer is an asshole.
QED, end of story.
Actually, that’s pretty much the only sweeping generalization I’m comfortable making. Anyone who drives a Hummer is, by definition, an asshole. With a tiny, tiny penis.
There is NO legitimate reason to hate cats*. So there must be something wrong with people who do.
I don’t need you to like them, you don’t have to enjoy their company, if you’re allergic you’re invited to shun them - but why hate them?
Use “lol” in a sentence, and your intelligence drops a notch in my eyes. Confuse your homophones, and it drops some more. But I won’t think you’re stupid until you go out of your way to misspell words like “knoe,” or use SMS-style abbreviations like “any1,” or tYpe Lyk dIS, or use excessive CAPITAL LETTARS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!11eleventy. This caused a severe Rain Man-style crisis last year when I met a girl who got the highest possible rank on her university entrance exams (a feat achieved by four other people in the state) and still typed like a chipmunk on crack. I don’t care that she duxed English lit (!!!), or got a scholarship to some university in Melbourne, or will probably end up with a high-powered job earning six figures by the time she’s 20; in my eyes she will always be Stupid.
Yep, Hummers. They just stick out so much, especially here, that they can’t help but scream, “Asshole!”
People who whistle or snap their fingers to call anyone but a dog. Assholes.
I wouldn’t call it a prejudice exactly, but I DO think less of people who have taken up smoking recently, after all the health risks and concerns are widely known. Why would you throw away that much money on something that harms your health, and makes you stink to boot?
I’ve got one against people who feel that drinking heavily is the only way to have a good time. I’m not talking about a few drinks here to loosen up, but the ones that think it wasn’t fun unless they were falling-down drunk and throwing up and hungover the next day. So if I had a quiet evening with a glass of wine and a few friends, how could that possibly be fun? And yes, I have met adults like this. I just feel they’re kinda dumb.
Folks who tend to use the terms “Amerikkka” or “sheeple” in arguements, especially non-political arguements, are too goofy to take seriously. There are other terms which come close, but those two imediately make me ignore a writer, or for “sheeple”, a speaker.
I call that a “mini-peenee”. I know…I’m getting all technical on ya.
People that use those earpiece cellphones in public are assholes, with extra points for stumbling around near you and mumbling, making you look over to see what they want.
Also, everyone named Jared is a relentlessly self-promoting obnoxious prick. This one makes no sense, but I haven’t been able to meet an exception so there it is.
Me too. Hey, let me tell you a fun story:
The owners of the company I work for (husband, wife, and daughter) all commute to work. Daddy drives a Lamborghini with a V12, Mummy drives a Hummer, and sweetums drives an Escalade. They leave from the same house at the same time, do their ritual motorcade of ostentatious waste, arrive at their destination at the same time, and then…
…park in the only three designated handicapped spots, until they do the whole thing in reverse at the end of the day.
Ouff!
I have never had a positive initial impression of a young man wearing baggy pants low enough to show his boxers.
I work in a vet hospital and I love almost all animals…
However, I hate monkeys. I can’t watch a nature documentary about them without feeling skeeved about them. Apes, chimps, orangutans are just as bad. They are like the worst human bum with a poop-throwing problem… nasty. No redeeming characteristics at all.
Anybody who is wealthy and/or politically powerful is my enemy, and means me no good.
Anybody and everybody!
No exceptions.
As my Great-Grandfather used to say, “The Landlord is never your friend”.
Bingo. If you hate the animals, I hate you.
Did your impression improve as you got to know the young man? I’d be surprised.
O tempora! O mores!
For the love of Og, these people should be strung up by their entrails.
Has the possibility crossed your mind that they like it?
Why would you eat ice cream? Why would you have sex? Why would you drink alcohol?
I no longer accept misogynists as friends. Guys who are always talking about sex and pussy and how much they get and how much they had to get some girl to drink to get their pencil wet, won’t think much of my friendship or romantic relationship with any girl and will try to score with her. Whether or not they succeed, it really fucks everything up. That’s happened to me three times in the last two years; I’ve decided I’m solving the problem by no longer wasting my time on misogynists and sex/alcohol-obsessed “friends”.
I also don’t have much respect for people who go out and (say) gamble away all their money and then take out credit cards to pay the credit card that pays the credit card that pays the credit card that pays their gambling debt, especially if they’re educated and should know better.
In high school I had a classmate and a teacher named Jared and they were both great guys, although the classmate wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. (The teacher was a brilliant man.)
I agree with you.
I have a very hard time with young (as in late teens, early twenties) “beautiful” men and women. Its petty I know, but I can’t shake the idea that a young, attractive person is going to have an easy life because of their looks.
How intolerant is that? People should be allowed to drive as many Hummers as they like. It’s their prerogative.
With the caveat that all such vehicles, by law, must be painted pink with lots of pretty flowers, have fluffy upholstery featuring pictures of Pooh Bear, and be given names like Cutikins, Fifi and Sweetypie.
Smokers and those who defend it top my list of unshakable prejudices. It’s because of my inconsiderate and constantly coughing wreck of a mother, in case you’re wondering why.
Also, people who spell women/woman “womyn”. Yes, I get it. I think it’s dumb.
