Similar to mosquitos, roomates constantly asking for money.

Yeah, it bothers me that racists like to hide behind the first ammendment when they spout their moronic diatribes. By the same token, though, it bothers me when defenders of the war in Iraq say that the soldiers are dying to protect our country, or to defend our rights. I certainly don't want to start any political arguments, but the American right to free speech has absolutely nothing to do with any of our current overseas military operations.

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. It's probably all the "old people" funk in the air. |

Some things that really get my goat -
People who take minor things and blow them out of all proportion. Let it go, you'll be much happier.
Ungrateful people. "Thank you" goes a long way.
Anyone who treats customer service staff as morons/sub-human.
Racists/homophobes/generally intolerant people.
and gaming related...
Posers who think they're the only person on the planet to ever own an AES/rare game/sealed copy of <X>.
Pointless arguments about top ten lists/"my port's better than yours"/etc

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. If you use Firefox, this add-on is for you. |

Oh hey, how about people that don't ever hold a door open for you, even though they know you are RIGHT BEHIND THEM. I just love when 11teen year old girls aren't strong enough to hold a door for more than five seconds, and they only need to move it the 6 inches their body takes up. What's worse is when you hold the door open for people, and they just walk through like its nothing. To amplify Kimimi's thoughts on thanking someone, why is it so difficult for people to just say it sometimes? My city recently went through a boom, and our population has doubled over the past 10 years. Everyone from the big cities came here, and they brought their attitude with them. No one says hello when you walk past them anymore. And if you do, they look at you like your a criminal. I will admit, everyone is paranoid thanks to CSI, Law and Order, and whatever lame forensic cop drama's they watch. EEEEEVERRRY OOONE ISSSS A RAPIST!!!!!

Totally! Like, for example, a kid got his kite stuck in a tree so I helped him out. His mom came running at me telling me "get away from my son!"
And I love saying hi to people, but apparently that is stupid.
What's up with everything being sexist these days? Apparently, letting a woman cross first makes me a sexist prick. Since when?! I would have let a man cross as well. It is retarded. And I can't open doors for ladies anymore. It is absolutely annyoing.

Well, I do agree on the "please / thank you" thing, but I'm not particularly fond of people randomly saying "hello" to me, or striking up a conversation out of nowhere. It just feels really weird. The world would probably be a much better place if more people could be open and friendly with strangers, but it's something that's very difficult for me to do.

What's worse is when you hold the door open for people, and they just walk through like its nothing. I always hold the door open for anyone and thank anyone who does the same for me... I've always just considered it to be common courtesy. It really bothers me when people don't, or don't even look at me when I do it for them. How hard is it to at least give a faint smile?  |

You don't even need to say hi though. What the hell ever happened to the polite nod.... its just nice to acknowledge the person walking by you. I don't know, perhaps I grew up in a good neighborhood or something, but I remember the entire city being that way. I can understand being a little secluded, as I grew up downtown, but at the same time you can always tell when a community has their shit together.

Smithee, don't take this the wrong way, but you didn't show the kid your penis or mention masturbation in front of the kid, did you? If so, cut it out. Indeed, while climbing a tree to save a kite might seem like a noble goal, stripping your clothes off to do so is typically regarded as something of a faux pas. |

What the fuck kinda animal do you take me for? How hard is it to at least give a faint smile? Some people have more trouble smiling than others. Like me for example. |
