...'cause I'm not gonna bother necroing the old thread from such a long time ago.
I'll start with mosquitoes, and mosquito bites making games of fucking "Connect the Dots" across my arms and knees.

Can I just write any sort of shit that pisses me off?
I just brought this up and it made me think of it: I can understand French well enough (all of my relatives can talk to me just fine), but when I need to speak it I get choked up and never say it correctly. It is terrible!
My short attention span as well!

I work in a motel. I won't say which, but it is a worldwide chain that tends toward the budget side of price ranges.
I have a coworker who works the night shift (11pm-7am) during most of the week, except on Sundays, when he works the morning shift (7am-3pm.)
I cannot begin to describe how worthless this guy is. He's apparently from some semi-wealthy Indian family, which I guess accounts for why he acts like a spoiled idiot.
He lives across the street from the motel. Literally. I can see his apartment from here. Less than 200 feet away, and that's being generous. In spite of this, he is consistently late to work. "Consistently" as in literally every night he is late.
A few weeks ago, he was 40 minutes late. I can deal with people being late sometimes. I know you have shit going on outside of work time and sometimes that interferes. But there's no excuse for being that late when you live that close, especially when I called him 3 times trying to get in touch with them. Finally, at 11:25 (pm, mind you!) or so, he comes running over from his apartment, in his pajamas. He literally just rolled out of bed. He rushed inside the door and all he could say was "Sorry about that." Didn't even look at me. I was so pissed that I just left and called my boss to complain about it.
His drawer is also routinely short. At the end of our shift, we're supposed to have exactly $200 to leave for the next worker. His drawer is typically short 8-10 dollars (which is bad enough), but today it was $15.70 short, meaning that's $15.70 in change that I don't have. It's a good fucking thing it's Sunday, because if I were this short-changed on a busy day I'd probably be strangling him right now.
The lobby is never cleaned. Morning shift is supposed to clean it after breakfast, and the cleaning really doesn't amount to much and takes about a half-hour's work because we have a fairly small lobby. All he has to do is clean the coffee pots, sweep up cereal crumbs, and mop sticky shit off the floor when people spill their juice.
Last week, I arrived with crumbs and cereal crunching under my feet, a cabinet and floor covered in pink fruit juice, black stains on the floor where people had stepped on said juice, a coffee pot cooking the residual slime that gets left behind when you don't turn the fucking burner off, and the TV with the volume so high I couldn't even hear the fucking phone ring.
I don't know why he isn't fired yet. I really don't.

Yeah, slack-ass coworkers are one of my absolute biggest pet peeves. On the other end of the spectrum, I also cannot stand coworkers who treat minor issues like a five alarm fire. It's pretty funny, because one of the guys I work with now does both.

(500) Days of Summer pissed me off.
To bastardize the words of the venerable Reginald Veljohnson, they had the indie movie playbook and ran with it. There really isn't anything new or different with it; it's smug, you have characters that live in a major city in lofts that they could never dream of affording on their "quirky" job's salary, they have "vaguely non-threatening ethnic" friends, you have a "musical number" set to an 80's pop song...the list goes on. About the only "original" thing about the movie is that it has an "unhappy" ending, or whatever, but that's not original either. The whole thing is more smug and self-important than Juno, and honestly that says a lot. That, and the female lead's actions at the end of the movie would justify a severe torture session followed by a gangland-style execution in most Asian and European countries. Then again, I should have known what I was getting into when I saw the "Fox Searchlight" logo at the beginning of the picture.

People who don't signal when they change lanes! People who think that because a service is "free", then they are entitles to a fucking butler when I show up! People who make a big deal over the smallest inconviences. "ZOMG, Why can't you show up between 3:30 pm and 3:34pm? I have to take my ugly kids to soccer practice, and then I have book club. " - A FUCKING WAAAAAAAAAH Colored people who treat me like shit because I'm White. How about I do the same? Oh wait for some reason that isn't politically kosher. I'm not racist, nor do I care what color anyone is, so what the hell! Ugly Drive Thru girls - Sorry but I have to wait 10 minutes for my Big Mac, and instead of being greated by Cindy Crawford, I get Bertha the zit master and her fucking attitude. Video Game store employee's that think they know what they are talking about. and finally, but surely not least, my fiancee's best friend. Total hoover in my books, and I'd like nothing more than to see her doused in gasoline, set on fire, and then laughed at. Her forehead is bigger than my right buttcheak, and the sheer sound of her voice sends chills down my spine. Seriously, if I'm in the grocery store and I hear her nappy voice (Which isn't hard as she talks REALLY FUCKING LOUD ON THE PHONE) then I leave with the quickness. She is the bane of my existance, and the worst part is I'll never be rid of her. My fiancee is wonderful, and I can't think of anything wrong with her. I guess if I ultimately had to pick, it would be the fact that diaper face is her friend, and will always be around in some way or another. ..... fucking bitch!  Ok I'm done! That felt great! |

Whatever fucking allergens are in Arizona's air, because I never suffered allergies this bad, especially all year around, back in California. I am sneezing and nosebleeding constantly, and I wake up congested and sometimes my right ear feels like there's water in it when there's not (like right now). Nothing really helps these symptoms.
I nosebled all over the grocery store today just because I sneezed once. I hate it.

Vaporware, and the phrase "no plans" when it comes to game development. No plans to make a Mega Man Legends 3, no plans to bring Yakuza 3 over here, no plans to ever see Policenauts outside of Japan, and a bunch of other shit which would overcharge the temperature of my head beyond its threshold.

The fact that, on another forum I go to, there are NO moderators around on Sundays except for me. I come home from a D&D session to find at least five reported threads, two PM's in my inbox, and the entire forum posting shitty image macros because of one idiot doing something unpopular.

I'm gonna go with the shitty shitty co-workers making life harder.
Fuck.
I just wanna show up to the other shifts sometimes, form everyone in a queue, and stab them all in the eye one by one sometimes.

" - A FUCKING WAAAAAAAAAH 4 minutes? That is impossible! D: The worst part is, say ANYTHING like this, and you're labeled as a racist! That is terrible! TERRIBLE! lol, so true. If I had it my way, everyone'd be hot. Oh, wait, for the Smithster, everyone IS hot! Acceptance Five! (I miss Scrubs SO much, I'm becoming its characters, lol) Yeah, that pisses me off as well. Sometimes, if I need to get a really quick opinion because I can't decide I'll say "hey, should I get this, or hold off 'til I find the previous game in the series used?" and they'll make up some bullshit remark like "blah blah, that game is get the new one!" and I'll say "Uhh, the game came out this year..." "BUT ITS PS2 lol" FUCK |

For those of you that don't know, I work as a security guard at a popular casino/hotel in the Northeast. It's not a bad job at all. You get to meet lots of interesting people and the occasional celebrity, plus I have great co-workers. You get to deal with drunks and idiots a lot (and the arguments/fights that can ensue), but that's to be expected.
What gets me is a scenario like this: you're posted at a location because "X" thing just happened (someone bled or pissed all over the chairs/floor, the escalator is down for maintenance, cash is being removed from a machine, whatever). You job is to stand there and prevent people from getting into that area (so that they don't hurt themselves or interfere in the operation), and direct them to an alternate way around. You're very visible (especially in my case, I'm 6 foot 2 and rather large). Most people see you and listen to what you have to say, and take the alternate way you suggested.
It's the ones that don't that piss me off. The ones that try to shove past you, even though it should be clear to someone with half a brain that you're not just standing there for your health, are bad enough. At least they listen and take the route you suggest once you say "Hey! No one's allowed through here (for whatever reason)!" The ones that try it and then give you an attitude because you won't let them through can kiss my shiny metal ass. In a case involving bodily fluids, you point that out and they usually shut up and slink away. The other ones, the ones that don't understand why you can't use a stopped escalator like stairs or that there's FUCKING CASH BEING TRANSFERRED AND THEIR DUMB ASSES ARE INTERFERING IN A MONITORED SECURITY OPERATION WHEN IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR MORONIC FACES just need to shut the fuck up and do what we tell them.
Also, the customers that expect you to scurry off and find them a (take your pick) slot attendant/server when you're stuck at a standing post, and then give you attitude when you politely explain why you can't do that can go to hell. Just because we work there doesn't mean we're there to cater to your every need, especially when we have regulations and rules that must be followed. I'm sorry, but do I have "Waitress fetcher" stamped across my fucking forehead? Not the last time I checked.

This is a really minor one, but YouTube comments.
Boy oh boy have I never seen such a gathering of so much mental retardation in people who should really be a lot smarter.
It also amazes me how there's a subculture of racists on there, like they all use it as a hideout. Of course, I get the impression that racists are too scared to speak out nowadays, so they all take it the Internet and be tough guys.
Still, I think community sites should really have a 'no racism' policy and should work to crack down on the fools promoting such crap.
