rude customers.
I mean, if you are receiving terrible customer service, then yeah, its a little warranted, but I had people last semester come into the cafe who would begin talking down to me from the moment I said "hello". College professors are the worst people,as far as customer service goes.

- As a counter to the usual "People that hate things just because they're popular" (which, yes, I hate just as much as the next guy unless said popular thing just sucks really badly), I've noticed a reverse trend lately where people will instead like something that's popular by the masses but despised online on PURPOSE (Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, John Cena etc) just to give themselves this aura of "Yeah! I like this thing and that automatically makes me a better person than any of you whilst making me seem unique! Now let's argue about it!". Now, maybe they do actually like them and that's fine, but it's all starting to get a bit fishy to me. Especially when they get so up in arms about the whole thing.
- British people (which I am one, btw) acting like everything from America sucks (music, television etc) when we're hardly a beacon of good and original entertainment ourselves. Infact, we're dominated by America when it comes to television, so we need to get over ourselves.
- The whole drinking culture that dominates over here. I'll leave it at that.
- People who feel the need to treat waiters/waitresses like crap just because it's their duty to serve them. I love the opening restaurant scene in "Reservoir Dogs" because it's true in regards to how hard a lot of them work. Be respectful to people who serve you food, folks.

Now, maybe they do actually like them and that's fine, but it's all starting to get a bit fishy to me. Especially when they get so up in arms about the whole thing. Well, since you used the example of Cena, I'll use it as well considering I like him. The problem here is that people can get to such lengths when they hate something or someone, it's really irritating for the people who do enjoy it. With the example of Cena, what angers me is the insane, completely blind level of hatred some people have for a guy they've never met. And should one person say they like this unpopular thing/person and they get trashed because they dared having an opinion that doesn't follow what the elitist masses think. So basically, the reason people who like unpopular stuff go up in arm is because well, the guys on the other side go even upper in arms. Seriously, when I see three separate threads about how much Cena sucks and how much it affects people in their life that he gets TV time and about how much of an effort it would be to push the button of the remote control to watch something else when he's on screen (as I do when a wrestler I don't like is cutting a promo), and when I see stuff like an official anti-Cena thread (which we actually had for some time BTW), THAT pisses me off. |

Bad grammar or spelling is kinda annoying, but people who are always correcting it are ten times worse. If I got a title shot for every time I've seen someone explain the difference between your/you're, I'd have to change my name to Batista.
Even more annoying is when someone would act like a whole post is unintelligible because there are a few typos.

A couple of fresh ones I've experienced today:
* Slow people at the Post Office. People who don't know what they need to do, people who go there to send something but they don't have the envelope/box. I even witnessed a man trying to send a tray of cannoli, only wrapped in the fancy and thin pastry paper... It took 10 mins to choose a box, filling the form and repackaging the sweets.
I wasn't amused.
* Sunday League Show-offs. Stop pretending you're the second coming of Cristiano Ronaldo, especially when playing among friends/acquaintances... We're here for fun, so if you're SO good, just score and cut it out with all the deking.
One dribbling, two, shoot feint, another dribbling... SHOOT FFS!
Oh, and do NOT say a word if after 2 or 3 times you've done all the "I'm so awesome" tricks, I'll purposely go for your shins... And be thankful it's just shins, and not ankles/knees.
Seriously, if you're THAT great, how comes you're not playing in a semi-pro team? And if you actually do, why not trying to replicate some of the "magic" there?

People who are quick to judge without giving something a chance.
Highly opinonated people.
Racist people.
People who praise a recently decease person and make them seem more important then they already were. I know its out of respect, but I seriously doubt their sincerity.
People who go against mainstream culture and facts just to be different(9/11 denial etc).

Way too many random bottles in the shower/tub. Between me, my fiancee and sister there are 14 different bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair creme, etc. There is a balancing act of bottles in every corner of the bath. Everytime I push aside the shower curtain a half dozen bottles go tumbling into the tub. Not a great way for me to start the morning.
