Subject: What/who really annoys you?
Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 06/17/04 at 8:42 pm
These things really get me ticked off:
People who go into AOL's NASCAR chatroom and say stupid UNTRUTHS about NASCAR fans....like we're all HILLBILLIES who live in trailer parks and do the sex act with our sisters,cousins,etc,and have inbred hillbilly kids..To those folks I say GET A LIFE!!
thong swimsuits on out of shape men and women
Those who flame people on the Net
Hackers who send nice little presents,such as worms and viruses,to me coz I tell AOL if they say rude things to me in chatrooms and message boards. No one is rude to me on Decades,I'm happy to say!
Athletes who:
Have a humongous ego(this means YOU,A-Rod,Shaq,Jeter,and BARRY BONDS!)
get away with felony crimes(That's dedicated to YOU,Jayson Williams,Allan Iverson,and Ray Lewis!)
Don't get that NO MEANS NO when they wanna get with a female(YEAH I MEAN YOU,KOBE BRYANT...among others
have a lust for blood and gore(Hey, TODD BERTRUZZI, watch your back!)
Leona Helmsley...who treated her employees like S***!
Ditto Martha Stewart!
The folks who wanted Dale Earnhardt's autopsy pix released to the public. As a fan of the #3,I think that's MAJOR DISRESPECT to him and his family...totally uncalled for.

There you go again, you couldn't go without another personal attack on people of faith. Curious are you talking about ALL people of faith, or the extremists like Hamas and Islamic jihad.
--My personal hate (and I hope this doesn't start anything) are the left-wing extremists. Open-society people who want secular things like: STRICT separtaion of church and state, legalization on drugs, public healthcare, banning firearms, legalization of gay marriage, and other stuff. My personal qualms are with Michael Moore, George Soros, Al Franken, Jananne God-awful-o, Ralph Nader, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Edward Kennedy, and Conan O'Brien.
And one sidenote (please don't respond here on this thread) i'm surprised that no one has mentioned ''under God'' staying in the U.S. pledge.

I also hate it when daughter's Japanese teacher telephones to say she is going to be given an E- on her report because no assignments have been handed in!!

I'm talking about people of any faith who are too blinkered to see when bits of their credo are provably wrong, and who keep on talking anyway. Typically these would be Christain or Muslim.. though there are lots of both of those that I have a lot of time for, there's also a lot who use the Bible (or the Quran) instead of a brain, rather than using the brain that they presumably believe their God has provided them with.
And I couldn't have a list of things that annoy me without including them: religious bigotry probably annoys me about as much as all the others put together.

I'm OK with the Mormons. Yeah their door-to-door ia a pain sometimes but hey, at least they are not out there selling drugs and stuff.
I was brought up by a Catholic mother and a Presbyterian father. One day when the Mormons came to our door, my Dad said. "Oh, you're here to sell religion? We've already got an extra one here. Know anybody who could use one?" The Mormon visitors got a kick out of that and laughed.

I was involved with the mormons from 1974-1990...mind you I got to start on the basketball team if I joined so I did in 1976. I met many wonderful people while involved but ultimately they got VERY pushy about believing in good 'ol Joe Smith and his "Story" ::) Anyway, I have retained a few and they are truly my friends because they don't push thier stuff on me and I respect thier choice as well...BTW...we finally won a basketball championship in 1990 and I retired from thier church :)

Like Philbo, I don't like unsolicited dogma shoved at me. Sometimes in comes from religious zeolots, other times it comes from VEGANS! Christian zeolots preach about Jesus and hellfire, vegans preach about tofu and heart disease. The net result is the same.
And I find it a little scary, GWB, that everybody on the Right has the same roster of left-wingers to hate. I find it also scary that the names on the roster change depending on who Rush Limberger and the FOX scholars are ranking on.

I was once 'associated' with Jehovah's Witnesses. They are not that bad - a bit pedantic sometimes. Try not to treat them too cruelly (I'LL SEND FOR THE COPS!!!). They are as nervous cold-calling on people as you are angry seeing them at the doors. You can always say 'not interested' and they should take the hint and write DNC on their reports (meaning 'Do not call'). :)

Every day I run late be they are stoping EVERYONE on the interstate and highways checking for presence of alcohol, which to me seems like profiling. And, no joke when I lived in Tennessee ALL the police smiled and were so friendly, then I move down here and all I see are 20 year-olds with a serious bug up their ***.

Yes! You must live in Georgia. The cobb county police force along with Powder Springs police and paulding country are some of the stupidest, idiotic, annoying cops I have ever seen. But they all look perfect when you compare them to the Georgia state patrol that has nothing better to do then give speeding tickets to people going 5 MPH over the limit and staking people out at the Georgia-Alabama state line for fireworks.

I've never been there, but I've heard Cobb doesn't have what you'd call a "hick" per capita income. Although, the definition of "hick" is changing. If the right-wing is trying to say that "elitism" has nothing to do with wealth, it only follows.

Well, I've lived in Cobb for 25 years now and I wouldn't call it "hick" nor would I call it "elite". It's pretty much middle class and the county seat's (Marietta) population is over 1 million.

As opposed to people who throw nice cigarette butts all over the place! We have a local mental case who picks up cigarette butts off the sidewalk. He's got obsessive-compulsive disorder, apparently, his name is Bill, and I've heard he was once a chemistry grad student at the University, until his mind deteriorated. My friend and I call him "Bill the Cigarette Picker-Upper." He's generally filthy, and shirtless, weather permitting. He prostrates himself like a Muslim praying to Mecca, and picks up cigarette butts, bits of paper, and god knows what else. I've seen him board the municipal bus and prostrate in the aisle, hunting for discarded treasures. I've bitten my nails as he calls the middle of the street his own hunting ground! Another local character, Monica the Horse Lady, has a crush on him, but that's another story.

I don't know if anyone else has had the experience with cops as I, but I find the farther up the chain they are, they more civil they become. I've been pulled over by state cops and, while they're not friendly, they're more crisp and professional in their manner. The local yokels tend to give you more dirty looks and attitude. They also have a big need to intimidate you, like Officer Cartman, "respect mah authoratah!!!" Among local cops, the attitude is worse among rookies than among older, higher ranking cops, as GWB points out. Below local yokels, you've got security guards, rent-a-cops, and mall cops. They're just d*cks! I think it's because they know no one over fifteen takes them seriously!

To me it seems these 2 kinda contradict each other. I'm glad that we have gotten to a generation that realizes white people aren't superior to blacks, yet too many people still have the same kinda problem with foreigners. That's another thing that p*ssed me off at college: my roommate the 1st semester and her friends would make fun of the Asian girls on our hall because they couldn't understand english. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO RESPECT OTHERS!!!!!!! Of course, my roommate just made the excuse (also used to justify her racism against blacks) that "she was from a small town" and "she was just raised that way." Oh...well...nevermind then I guess you're excused then...because my hometown's even smaller than yours and my parents are probably a bit racists themselves but I sure as hell aren't....hmm...how very very odd....

I usually don't have a problem with animals, it's the OWNERS I have a problem with. Our neighbors have a dog (a big one) that they occasionally chain up in the back yard. Well, I'm walking in the yard today and almost step in a HUGE pile of dog crap.ÂÂ
Now we're talking!
PET PEEVES
1. Loser-y macho guys who own Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, or German Shepherds.*
2. Loser-y macho guys who own the above breeds and can't control them.
3. Anybody who owns any dog he or she can't control.
4. Pet owners who treat their pets like people.
5. The above pet owners with resulting anxious, nutty, neurotic, ill-behaved dogs.
6. Dog owners who bring their dogs into shops and public buildings despite the prohibition.
7. Dog owners who leave their dogs tied out alone for 14 hours straight. Poor dog! :\'(
8. Cat owners who neglect the cat, resulting in a scrawny, scruffy, forlorn looking thing who
shows up on my doorstep looking for a hand out.
9. People who pick "pets" higher on the food chain than they: great snakes, big cats, wolves,
giant lizards, and crocadilians. This is just wrong!!!
*my problem is with the owners, not the dogs. In fact, a German Shepherd is one of my favorite breeds. Any dog gets nasty if it's raised that way.

6.) People who drive like they own the road(young people, People who Drive Mercedes, Lexus, or a big SUV.) Why do you have to drive like that? There is no reason for it.
So my hummer is probably on your list? I don't hog the road, I just like big gas-consuming automobiles. Its my right as an American.

I actully got a call from the DNC and at first I wondered how did they get my number so I picked up. And it was some fund raiser recording that SOUNDED like John Kerry saying ''press 1 to send George Bush back to Texas.'' So that freaked me out and I wondered if the DNC would be nice enough to add another option. So I waited for the ''press 2 to keep John Kerry in Massachusetts'' option and it never came so I hung up. I wouldn't mind it if it was from the GOP or RNC but I want nothing to do with Kerry or the DNC!

As long as a Hummer owner don't tailgate me we are fine. I underatand its your right as an American to own whatever vehicle you want.

Thank you. Why can't people who move to America learn English first? I'm sick of the ATM asking me English or spainish?
Um, GWBush, I think you need to spend a year or two as a Guatemalan peasant. After that you won't mind the big machine that gives you money asking you a question.ÂÂ
Think about, the ATM says "English or Spanish" and you have to press one or the other, this does not exactly rank among the great travails of humanity!
At my ATMs, if you just ignore that question, it goes to English by default. Maybe not on others, but nonetheless...

A word of advice....buy a pellet gun, they're not illegal in most places and the dog could possibly die of lead poisoning if they still make the pellets with lead. Not that I'd know from experience or anything ;) 8)
Forgot to add that they're much quieter than a shotgun :P
:o :oIf you really want to fight fire with fire,but not kill the dogs,maybe put treats with laxatives mixed in them in the yard.The dogs won't be able to eat them if they stay out of your yard,so staying in their own yard would be the best thing for everyone!Cheers!

A few points:
1.A shotgun is legal throughout all of American, not sawed-off shotguns, but shotguns in general and if it was me I'd use the shotgun.
2.Speaking from experience pellets are still made with lead and will kill most things they go into. BB's are a safer bet.
3.Shotguns can be suppressed like any other gun through silenced bullets/shells or equiping it with a suppressor, though I wouldn't do it, its illegal now because of Brady's law I think.

1. He lives in NYC. I highly doubt the police (and neighbors) are going to take too kindly to someone firing a shotgun.
2. I think you missed the point, the object IS to kill the dog.
3. See above. Firing a shotgun in Queens (isn't it Howard?) would be too darned noisy to do it "covertly". That's why a pellet gun is his best bet
Next time it happens,I'm gonna follow the dog's owner,pull down my pants and pee on HIS TREE.What goes around comes around,I say. >:(

I despise those cell phone rings, they're so stupid, and LOUD! I suppose I was pre-Goth in the '80s, the Robert Smith look with black clothes and eye make up. I dunno, for me it was just some adolescent street theater, but today there seems to be a lot of spoiled sububan pathology behind it. There's a whole of gross piercings, ugly tattoos, and an obsession with sexual kink. Bleccchh.
High school kids playing hacky-sack are annoying just because I associate them with the annoying types who play hacky-sack. Hacky-sack? That's in New Jersey, isn't it? Hacky-sack isn't nearly as annoying as sidewalk skateboarding kids who don't know how to ride the d*mn things!!! You're walking by bracing yourself for one of the boards to fly up and conk you in the head! Skateboarding is prohibited on sidewalks in my town, but it never seems like the cops are around to send the little punks on my way. Yeah, my meter runs out for five minutes, and I get a ticket, the skaters get to raise Cain all afternoon!
Male thongs? Don't like 'em? Don't look!

What annoys me?ÂÂ
1. Annoying cell phone rings, is there anything wrong with just a plain old ring?
2. Male thongs.
3. Gothic kids, what is seriously up with that?
4. High-school age teenagers playing hacky-sack.
???dID YOU SEE THE Olympic gymnastics trials?That one Terin Humphrey ,I would say,has Goth type makeup.That has got to be the ugliest eye-makeup job I've seen on any athlete,ever! :PI mean she has some good moves,but when they show her close up,she looks like a zombie or something!!!Cheers!

1.-People who always tells the same a lot of times
2.-When my friends tell me my music likes aren't for my age and I shlould listen to only Modern music!!!! (I like modern music, but my faves are from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's) And also when some people tell me Heavy Metal is the best, but I HATE HEAVY METAL!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(
3.-When I want to talk to radio stations The line's not in service
4.-Teenagers who talk in class
5.-I hate when I'm gonna take a shower and the phone rings!!!!
6.-When tell say I'm not open-minded!!!

Uh, why?
I guess you probably do it too. The reason is I don't think hacky-sack was meant for 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 year-olds. I think it was meant for people between 5th and 7th grade. Them playing hacky-sack is no better then the middle school-aged kids who play hop-scotch out in public in the town square. Sorry kids today seem to know so much more about sex and stuff like that but at the same time they grow up slower and slower and slower.

I first saw hacky-sack in the very early '80s, it was introduced to me by my big sister's hippie fiance. I don't remember it as recreation for children, but always a game for college-age crunchies.

All you have to do to defeat the club is to take a set of bolt cutters to the steering wheel. Takes about 3 seconds. or use a hacksaw, for 15 seconds. The Club then slips off and you have unfettered access to the steering wheel. :P

Most of the homeless are people you don't see idle on the streets.  The ones you do see on the streets tend to be mentally ill or substance-addicted.  Some of them have endogenous disorders that make it impossible for them to look after themselves, others became unable to look after themeselves after addling their brains with drugs or alcohol.  When you can't care for yourself, and there's no one to care for you (or coerce care upon you), you're gonna be out on the street, and you're gonna stink!

A lot of mentally ill people, especially schizophrenics, are either too paranoid or too disorganized to get themselves to a shelter. Sometimes they're right to be paranoid of shelters because people have been robbed, beaten, and raped at shelters.
Other homeless people would rather stay on the street than go into a shelter because of the militaristic and dehumanizing policies some of these places impose.
I have seen homeless people enter stores in the city only to have the employees give them the bum's rush--literally! Street homeless are persona non grata everywhere. I can't say I blame business owners for chucking out the bums. Stores are there to make money, they're not equipped to deal with people society has forsaken.

Other homeless people would rather stay on the street than go into a shelter because of the militaristic and dehumanizing policies some of these places impose.
I have seen homeless people enter stores in the city only to have the employees give them the bum's rush--literally! Street homeless are persona non grata everywhere. I can't say I blame business owners for chucking out the bums. Stores are there to make money, they're not equipped to deal with people society has forsaken.
There ARE exceptions though, Max. Many of the ones I come across at the library are pretty "normal" ...they read great books and use computers but thier stench is just ridiculously repulsive.

What do you mean "normal"? How do you know they're "pretty normal"?

Your top 10 cell phone gripes:
1. Talking in restaurants
Gregory Edwards lost his appetite on a dinner with his girlfriend thanks to a man in the next booth who started talking about a kidney stone operation. "My ginger ale didn't look so good after that," said Edwards, 32, from Forest Hills.
2. Tattling in trains
On a recent 10-hour Amtrak trip from a vacation in Virginia, retired schoolteacher Wanda Wingfield was trapped in cell hell. "People talk so loud - they're louder on the phones than they are in person!" griped Wingfield, 60, of Castle Hill, the Bronx.
3. shouting at sports events
Sports fan Rob Greenblatt, from the Upper East Side, said he hated seeing guys at the NBA Finals talking courtside on their phones.
4. Self-absorbed at the store
The sign next to Frank Puebla's cash register spells out in clear block letters, "No Cellphones at Counter." But every day, the cashier at Saifee Hardware in the East Village still has to put the kibosh on oblivious chatterers holding up the line as they gab away. "It's annoying," said Puebla, 26, of Borough Park, Brooklyn.
5. Talking in theaters
Despite the city ban on cell phones in movie theaters, plays and concerts, pesky ringers still go off.
6. Babbling on the bus
Nobody likes to hear cell conversations on a city bus - especially Maria Ulmeanu. "Every time I get on the bus, I say, 'Please God, let it be quiet,'" said Ulmeanu, 48, from Astoria.
7. Not stopping in the stall
Yes, even the porcelain throne is not safe from the phone. "They're inside the closed door, speaking to their husbands, their friends, their parents," objected Long Island Rail Road ladies' room cleaner Gloria Bolton, 50, of Flatbush, Brooklyn. "They should do that in private."
8. Continuing in the cab
Amy Suggs hates cabbies with cell phones. "You think they're talking to you," said Suggs, a 32-year-old clothing salesclerk from DUMBO, Brooklyn.
9. Hands-free? What's that?
Looks like the ban on hand-held cell phones in cars is a bust with many drivers. "People still do it all the time," said Michelle Amran, 34, a homemaker from Forest Hills.
10. Below the belt
Bookstore owner Jim Drougas confronted one techno-savvy slimeball. "He showed me like a dozen pictures - all of girls' butts," said Drougas, 54, owner of a bargain bookstore in the West Village. "I told him there was a lot of police activity in the area and he better watch "his butt."

People who don't bathe or shower regularly...having to sit next to them on a crowded bus. There are some homeless people I've been around that smell like a latrine...not being mean,it's just sickening to me.Are they so mentally ill that they are afraid to bathe? Or maybe with their illness being active and their not being treated,they are apathetic and don't realize how horrible they smell.
There was this homeless woman who was carrying a big black bag of nickel cans then drags them on the city bus then sits down.She smelled from beer. :P
