Yeah, real loving funny, rear end in a top hat. gently caress you and your loving huge rear end, untrained, barking and assholish pitbull. The stupid thing barks all day and night, lunges at the fence and has succeeded in tipping over entire sections of the fence going after kids, squirrels, other dogs and passing cats, but you do NOTHING ABOUT IT. I hope it eats your stupid face off between joking it ate my missing cat or threatening people with it (or even telling us it probably ate the pomeranian in the missing posters because poms are WUSS DOGS LOL!). What is it about people who massively neglect an animal then act like it's the best thing EVER?

Some people will badger others into doing things they want and think nothing of it. It's part of why we have to have giant posters on consent (and that badgering someone until they say yes is NOT okay). And some people are just oblivious. Those glowy sticks are a great idea for a bad date though.

People treating their high-beams lever as if it was a loving magic wand that can instantly clear the lane ahead of them. Guess what, you dumbass? I'm not driving at half the speed limit just to annoy you, it's because I have someone in front of me who's doing that speed. They in turn have someone going slow ahead of them, and so on and so forth for miles and miles and miles. "Just move over to the other lane!" you might say, except that the other lane is 100% packed with no space to move in, and why do I have to move to a slower lane anyway since even if I did you wouldn't go any faster because of the huge line of cars going slowly in front of us? Learn some patience, you fucker.

I've never been head-fondled by a non-white person, which is not say that it's exclusively a white thing either. Here's an article about the You Can Touch My Hair exhibit, which seems pretty awkward and weird.

And they own a pitbull, they should be executed. A pet peeve I've developed, particularly at my workplace (which I'll probably post a rage thread about when i get fired/quit) is when folks hold others to a different standard on dress/timeliness/production than themselves. "Look ya'll, you need to be here at 7 ON THE DOT, and be working! Now excuse me, its 7:10 and I need my coffee, brb in 20". No. gently caress you. No one respects that kind of attitude and it shows.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: smokers. They're probably the only people in the world who think it's acceptable to throw fiery bits of garbage out the window. Yet to the rest of us, picking a receipt, burrito wrapper, or old gum wrapper up, lighting it on fire, and throwing it out the window is completely not okay. I got stuck behind one of these assholes on my way to work and it makes me irrationally angry. "What do you MEAN, put it out in my car?! I don't want my car smelling like smoke!" But it's okay for your breath, skin, clothes, hair, and lungs to be full of it? Smokers can go gently caress themselves.

Taking a hit of nicotine when you're addicted to it is an amazing stress reliever. But then it makes everytime you aren't sucking down on a cigarette lovely...unless you're always in a lovely mood, then no big change there.

Nicotine absolutely gives you a high, I don't do any other drugs or intoxicants apart from booze so it was a noticeable one for me. I only smoked for like 9 months or a year or something though so I dunno if that would have gone away completely with time.

I just find it irritating because I can't stand the smell. There are lockers right behind my desk at work, so of course I often have a heavy smoker walking in after a smoke break, stinking up the air because his locker is right behind me, and it's just unpleasant.

Smokers who ignore the giant "NO SMOKING BEYOND THIS POINT" "NO SMOKING WITHIN X FEET OF DOORWAY" etc signs. Do they think they're so *cool* because they're breaking the rules (laws)? Nothing makes my day more than when it's already -10 and snowing, and I step outside into a huge cloud of smoke. Wonderful. E: or when I'm driving and it's beautiful weather, I have the windows open... And some smokers car pulls in front of me and I have to close the windows and turn on the recirculation. Or when it's -10 and I can't have the recirculation on, so when smokey pulls up I have to turn off the heater and open the windows to get any air at all otherwise I'm stuck in a hot box of cigarette smoke.

Do they think they're so *cool* because they're breaking the rules (laws)? This is also typically done because there are air intakes above the entrances. So although you stepping into a cloud of smoke is awful, the people inside the building who are breathing in the HVAC air get to suddenly have their offices quite literally fill with a bit of smoke. My peeve: the phrase "in any way, shape or form." Why must everyone use the entire phrase? Just say "in any way".

Bunch of people, including small children are waiting at at the bus stop. We've been waiting for a while so everyone's kind of irritable but what can you do. rear end in a top hat walks by, stands up wind and starts smoking, making sure every time he blows the smoke out all of it wafts right across everyone's face. He then gets indigent when the woman gets pissed off at him for risking her kids. "Well where am I allowed to smoke then? A closed room in my own home? gently caress off." he says sarcastically, making sure not to move at all while blowing out another breath of smoke, ignoring the no smoking sign that's been bolted to every bus stop shelter in the drat state as far as I can tell. Hawaii's been cracking down really hard on the smoking lately, because seeing a bunch of idiots just standing around all the scenic spots smoking and leaving their cigarettes all over the place made everything look like poo poo. Unfortunately no one enforces the no smoking policies and everyone gets away with it so nothing has changed. I sure do love taking some visiting family to a really nice spot only for it to be covered in ashes and cigarettes, and smelling of smoke instead of the ocean! EDIT: as I'm writing this something else has caught fire. Do flaming mountains count as a pet peeve? Because I really wish they'd stop burning. They've been doing it a lot this year.

I'm more pissed that nobody was explaining what the hell the floor pizza story was.

Murphy Brownback posted:Related to the cat posts quoted above: people (especially on these forums) who unjustifiably jump to the most controversial conclusion possible just to have an excuse to rage against someone. Yeah, sorry. I was upset. I should not have posted it. I was just worried about my indoor only cat who had gotten loose. It also makes evening walks suck when that dog is going nuts at everything, including rogue molecules of oxygen. I don't think all pitbulls are bad. Many of them are bred for aggression and fare poorly without exercise and intensive training. The dumbfuck in question just sees it as a 'LOL MY DOG SO FIERCE' thing and ignores it while it barks constantly, and so on. It's upsetting even more because it is an animal with the capacity to kill other pets easily and maim people and he's contributing to its poor reputation. On top of it all, the poor dog is probably lonely as hell, under exercised and bored to tears. He also seems to have little empathy if the thing gets a hold of someone or someone's pet. So I'm not exactly thrilled with the guy. I did get my cat back safely, and I do keep my cats indoors. The only place any cats in this house go into is the porch so they can catch sun beams.

People criticizing the President, specifically on gun control. I've got a gun nut acquaintance that just doesn't seem to get what's going on and is staunchly against any sort of changes in law or regulations for firearms. He complained a short time back about how Obama "didn't hold a press conference to address police shootings". When I asked if Obama should drop everything and have a press conference for every single murder that happens, whether or not it involves police deaths, he could only stammer out a weak "well he should do SOMETHING because this is getting out of hand!" At the same time, with the recent Oregon shootings, he complained that Obama held a press conference about it to address the incident and other recent shootings. What does the idiot acquaintance pipe up with? "He's just politicizing this for attention, gently caress Obama!" MAKE UP YOUR loving MIND YOU STUPID SHITSTAIN. People like that drive me up a loving wall, the whole damned if you do, damned if you don't mentality pisses me off. Nothing is ever good enough and everyone waffles back and forth, I'm so sick of it.

Any time there is a shooting, how fast the NRA leaps out and starts screaming about gun control being horrible, that someone is coming to Take Your Guns and that's how Hitler came to power and.... And there's a guy I used to be friends with who posts only that on Facebook now. That and how Sandy Hook was put on by actors. Pretty much every shooting ever has been a set up by paid actors.

If my wife wouldn't kill me, I'd just leave him out there to die because gently caress an animal that tries to run away after i take care of him forever.

I've had tattoos for about ten years or so now, and they're definitely mundane to me now so people who grab me and ask, "WHAT DO THESE MEAN" really get my goat (ps: My favourite answer is, "I cannot work at Starbucks and no one will let me hold their baby"). I have a pretty large sleeve on one arm, and before it was completely filled in I had a lot of people grab me and ask what the text said. For reference, it says schadenfreude. Surprisingly, few people know what that translates into, so now I just tell people it's German for "personal space".

I have a small tattoo of a 45 insert thing on my back, between my shoulder blades. Whenever I wear something cut low enough that it's actually visible, I get comments about how I'm too young to know what it is. I got it as a friendship thing with a girl I DJed with a few times, which in hindsight was probably stupid, but hey. The fact I paid to have it on my body implies I at least kinda know what it is.
