Shit that pisses you off, part II

[camanchi]

I think coffee is one of those things that you CAN develop a taste for when you're older, but that doesn't mean you will. I think a lot of people try crummy, watered down coffee when they're younger too, so it turns them off of it. I find it too acidic for me to drink regularly. Tea, on the other hand, is a favourite for me.

Guinness would be some strange piss.

This might not be indicative of the overall userbase, but most of the Guinness drinkers I've known have been huuuuuuge stoners.

This is more "shit that depresses you", but I hate when you have a dream or nightmare about something that you know could never happen but leaves you upset upon waking nonetheless.

[theallseeingmole]

More than pissing me off,I find hatedoms scary.Really,I can't get the idea of spending almost all of your spare time bashing something or someone which happens to be popular.

For example,Justin Bieber;okay,the kid is just another unremarkable teen idol and his haircut is horrorific...but seriously,what's the point in constantly writing angry,hateful messages and death threats at this guy?

[Jave]

I think it's cause people want to believe that if the popular thing weren't popular, then the thing they like would be... which is statistically impossible, of course, the absence of Bieber won't suddenly make pre-teen girls fall in love with Radiohead (yes, the vast majority of my music references are approaching 10 years and older), there's hundreds of shitty heartthrobs to take his place.

Personally, I never really cared for beer or cigarettes, and the only coffee I can tolerate is the expensive stuff with the really long fruity names, mostly because it doesn't actually taste like coffee.

When it comes to smoking, specifically, I'd much love to have a live and let live attitude on the practice, but I absolutely can't stand it when the rest of humanity is supposed to enable and accommodate someone else's dumb unhealthy habit.

For instance, if you're late for fucking work, even if it's someone else's fault, too fucking bad, get your dumb ass in the building and get to work already! It's not like you ain't gonna just milk every other break opportunity throughout the day anyway.

Also, yeah, we're in public, you have to go outside, and I'm not coming with you, Deal With It! Also, not while I'm in the vehicle, and if we're outside and I suddenly decide to stand five feet upwind of you, it's not because I'm insensitive, it's because I'm prone to acute sinus infections, which have been brought on more than once in the past by... you guessed it.

And if you do refrain from lighting up, don't treat it like you've just done me some big favour.

And I don't care how many times you've tried to quit, or how hard it is to do. In this day and age, it's your own damn fault for starting, it's not like you weren't warned.

This might sound discriminatory, but that's just because it is, I can think of no other group of people that expect me to happily accommodate the whims of their poor impulse control more so than smokers.

The bicyclists around here really suck. Always approaching from behind me, always going as fast as possible, never making any kind of warning as they approach, and always on the mother-fucking sidewalks! There are bike lanes for a bloody reason, you menaces to society!

[Catalyst]

My brother was nearly killed by a bicycle accident as a kid so it really pisses me off when people at my college don't have the common decency to get off their bike and walk it while they go around the main walking paths. The last encounter I had with a biker made me what to grab her by her damn hair and crush her face into the pavement. Seriously, she has the gal to rag on me for slowing down while walking when she's the one booking around like the Flash. I should just let her hit me instead so I coulda sued her ass. The extremely depressing thing is that skaters get caught by the police while bikers are allowed to drive around like crazy. I'd rather get hit by the full force of a single body, than a body and a giant metal frame.

The grotesquely obese?

[thethird]

Apparently, sometime in my life life I really fucked up my back, because for the longest time now I simply cannot sit in any way that's not straight up in a chair without getting really, really sore in my shoulderblades. This makes just sitting down and reading, or playing a handheld game extremely uncomfortable after about 20 minutes because I tend to lean down so I don't have to hold up a book or a DS up to my face to see it. It's gotten so bad that just sitting on my big-cushioned couch that after a half hour or so my back starts to really hurt. I was playing Other M for the first time today and I had to stop after two hours because it just got too uncomfortable.

I just turned eighteen! I'm still young! I shouldn't have back problems! AGH

[Atma]

I got some scoliosis and misaligned vertebrae in my neck that grind into each other and require narcotic almost level painkillers to take care of, so you're not alone in the "I'm too damn young to feel this damn old!" department.

In other news, what's grinding my gears is a broken toe. Right big one. Brother slammed into me through pure negligence while I was carrying heavy glass bottles from a grocery run into the house and crunch, right into the middle toe knuckle. Hurts like a bitch, nothing I can do about it, nothing a doctor would be able to do beyond a splint, and I have to hobble to even go to the bathroom.

Pay attention to where you're walking, kids!

All this bike talk reminds me of this

Nope, can't think of a single time when a fat person came anywhere close to inconveniencing the rest of the world as do the smokers in my life on a regular basis.

Maybe they take up more space in a van, but at least they don't kick up a shit storm if you fail to stop for a smoke break at every single Tim Horton's between here and Montreal.

[Deleted]

It's a toss up, in my opinion. The daily existence of the super fat is defined by the wasting of resources. Smokers really are pricks, though.

[Pitchfork]

You wound me :<

[Snarboo]

Technically, both the fat and skinny alike waste plenty of food in the US alone. I'd say a fat person is less likely to waste food, however, and I should know, being a glutton.
