Well, I'm a late-comer to this thread, so I don't know how much I can add, but here goes...

Lisarea, you absolutely rock! Flourescent lights piss me off, too.

You know what really bugs me? People who don't return their shopping carts. I mean, I've seen a shopping cart sitting smack dab in the middle of the parking space next to the "cart corrall!"

Sometimes, when I see someone pushing a cart into that "grey area" between parking spaces in front of their car, I feel like going over and calling them a lazy piece of shit! What really irks me is the people who put the cart's front wheels over the curb so it doesn't roll into someone else's car! Maybe if your fat ass could run the thing back to the store, you could avoid dinging strangers' cars and get some exercise while you're at it!


Another thing that bugs the hell out of me is "customer service" reps who have no people skills. I called the Dept of Housing and Urban Development today with a question about a refund related to my FHA loan. The person I talked to sounded like she could not possibly care less about helping me. To top it all off, she mumbled.

MUMBLED! A freaking telephone customer service rep who I could barely understand! Could someone explain this to me?
How did she get her job?


Another thing that is really annoying is people who misuse the word "tragedy."

Look...if someone dies in a car wreck, it is not a "tragedy."

If they committed suicide because they mistakenly thought that their lover was dead, THAT is a tragedy.

Oh, and one more...people who don't know where the fuck they're calling. Inevitably, if I answer the phone "hello, Steve's House of Used Sausage Casings," someone on the other end will say "is this Steve's House of Used Sausage Casings?"

"Where were you trying to call, sir?"

"Oh, I was looking for Steve's House of Used Sausage Casings."

"Well, you're in luck! You dialed the right number after all."

"Excuse me...where was I calling, again?"

:banghead:

To some degree, I am wondering what is it with "Florescent lights" that Pisses some people off? I got hating those regular light bulbs that would only last for about everytwo weeks and suddenly burn out... And spend my time smashing them, when I would always have to stop what I am doing to change the damn light bulb. The only thing I find about the trouble with "Florescent lights" is when they go bad. Then you get them flickering. If they work for the right amount of lasting a long time, I find them better though.

Good one! That attitude really pisses me off.

They always flicker. Even when they're new. Even the fancy new kinds that are just exactly like the sun, for values of the sun large enough to include buzzy, flickering flourescent lights.

And I just said this, too: They buzz. They buzz all day long, and it's like there are angry bees in your head. Or else maybe they actually put angry bees in your head. I dunno. And all the discrete buzzes in concert create a sort of hypnotic WOOONGderrrWOOONGderrrWOOONGderrr chorus.

Sometimes they say things, too, like, "People are saying mean things about you behind your back," and "Stop your car in the middle of the highway for no reason." And they break your blood down into a very fine mist that seeps through your body and wafts up into the light fixtures, sucking the life from you slowly so you almost wouldn't notice until you're pale and haunted and too weak to summon the energy to flip the switch, so you lie there, helpless, on the floor, as the flourescent light quietly turns your body into a fine powder, to be vacuumed up by the night cleaning crew--unwitting accomplices guilelessly disposing of yet more evidence that'll never be HA HA "BROUGHT TO LIGHT." Oh. My. GET IT? BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

But I guess if you like that sort of thing.

single ply toilet paper


the rest of my list is too big to get into, but i've got a hell of a well exercised misanthropic streak thanks to many things already mentioned on this list.

mostly i'll just stew over it today...i'm too lazy to type anymore right now.

Not much pisses me off. It's usually individual people, but I cant point out some particular characteristic, it's just the overall person.

Also, things that offend and piss off most people, I find particularly amusing or hilarious.

Racism, sexism, bullying, and just good old general meanness

I'm evil and I like it.
