This is a subject me and my friends are familar with, complaining and ranting.
We have lots of conversations on the irratants in life, so what really pisses you off?

My "Irritants" are:

People who say the Godfather is the greatest film of all time but haven't seen it

People who constantly corrects my grammer (you still understood what I said so fuck off)

Adverts for texting to get babies gender/name/weight/what not or love calculators (GAH!!)

Finally, people who take upon themselves to do all the work without asking for your opinion or just ignoring you completely because they must be right

We've already had a "What do you hate" thread. It was locked.

((And it's not about knowing what you said, if you can't take the time to be grammatically correct and spell properly, you will have fire tossed at you here.))

Sorry, I meant when speaking not typing in forums because I generally have good grammer, just not when I banter on with my friends. (Nooo Im paranoid now, was that good grammer)
I did not know about the other thread and I apologise....

Um, Just because I am an English Major, and you are annoying me with your unscientific studies, GRAMMAR is spelled with TWO "A"s and NO "E"!

We believe that your argument or discussion is only as valid as your ability to relay it in an intelligent manner. Bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all big no-nos here...

Oh, and just to answer the question, bad English is my pet peeve. I also get annoyed by Stupid People and anyone who has to take a stand about an issue they know little to nothing about.

Above all else, Teleharassment. Telemarketers, Telesurvey, Telecanvasing... ESPECIALLY Telecanvasing, I'm Anti-Charity enough as is, when they try to guilt-trip me for not giving money to whatever random cause happens to dial my phone number, I just want to reach through my phone and shove their heads through a wall.

If i see young women going around town, with their baby in a buggy...and a cigarette in their hand... anger grows inside me.
Smoking is currently one of the most annoying things for me. I still live with my parents, and they both smoke heavily and have done so since i can remember. In the house, in the car, everywhere i was forced to take part in their addiction. Needless to say i donīt smoke, but i had one or two cigarettes sometimes when i was drunk. I have mostly non-smokers as friends and i could never have a relationship to a smoking girl.

Old people driving pretty much takes the cake for me. When you can't read the 'One-Way' sign's (Or any sign for that matter), confuse the gas for the break more then five times per week or just can't seem to see over the steering wheel...Yeah, time to take the key's and take the bus.

People who feel the need to actively try to be "Individual" If you're not your own person passively than you aren't going to ab any different with blue and pink hair and thirty-two piercings in your eyelids or whatever.

Cars and thier shinyness, I can see the sun just fine with out eight trillion cars reflecting it into my eyes.

Peopkle who don't try in school who are constantly asking the teacher for help so no one who is actually trying can get help.

Pople who like talk like constantly like this.

Professional photographers. Who here has seen American Idol? Not only in that weird way they talk, but they have to make it hard to simulate in 3D rendering too! Box lights are hard!

Online names with numbers or stupid punctuation marks all over. Like "7()V3_Addict" Which apparently is supposed to say Love Addict.

Really Stupid websites.

I just got back from my sister's college graduation. It was in a huge auditorium, lots of people watching. One of the speakers on the stage says into the mike "please hold your applause until all the graduates have received their degrees."

How many people heeded this request?

Not many. All sorts of jackasses screamed "HEY, (insert name here), WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" as their respective friends/family walked across the stage. Most of them probably didn't even hear it due to the distance and only ended up pissing off those around them as they were being deafened.

So I guess I'll just say "general obnoxious behavior" is what pisses me off.

I hope not. If so, then I have a nice black sheet for you to borrow...

People that are intolerant of other peoples cultural differences.....and the DUTCH!

Sorry, it had to be done.

Anyways, the one thing that gets me above all else, is when you tell someone a fact that they have not heard before, and they ask you where you find your information, and then roll their eyes and do the sarcastic "Suuuure, of COURSE it's true!" when you give them a source that even resembles the internet. The internet can be edited by anyone, true enough. But history books could have been written by anybody as well. Plus most of the information online is backed by many other credible online sources. Taking what you read about online with a grain of salt is advised, but no bigger a grain then what you read in books.

People who can't take a fucking joke.

Worse still are people who make jokes themselves, then don't get it when you take it further.

To elaborate, I used to work at a comedy club, now, you'd think people who show up there have a sense of humour, and normally they do, but when stuff like this happens it's irritating:

(At the time I was taking a food order)

[Me] So what would you like?
[Her] I'll have a hot dog please.
[M] ok.
[H] It hasn't got real dog in it has it?
(her friend laughs)
[M] Oh no, we can't afford dog, we tend to go out onto the roundabout and scrape up the dead pigeons.
[H]......
