Stupid people. I don't use this term loosely to mean people who aren't knowledgable, I mean REALLY stupid people with no common sense who do things like put on mascara whilst looking at their reflection in their rear view mirror when driving.

People who put me into a box (metaphorically speaking) because of one single thing I say or do.

"Oh, you're one of THOSE"...

Yeah? Well fuck you because that makes you one of THOSE...

People who talk for the sake of talking. If it has no point, I don't want to listen, and I'm not going to.
When people expect me to remember out of place facts from one of your talking sprees. If I don't remember your anniversary because the only time you ever brought it up was during a half-hour rant on how you hate that guy next door, you have no right to blame me for it.
Not being born British. At least you/they seem to have some sense.
Finally, all the goat jokes in this thread.

People(especially the girls) who pass themselves off as gaming experts when they know nothing past World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 7.(this could be substituted into other fields such as comics and computer hardware).

People that know they topped the class/grade in an assessment but will ask other peoples grades just to make themselves feel good.

Anyone staying "i'll shoot you with my ak-47" and making the hand gesture of a bazooka/RPG

Those medical shows about mistery diagnosis and babies being born
1 they're boring
2 they show blood covered babies
3 they're exploitation
4 they're boring.

50 cent games. These piss-poor excuses for games are jsut ways to make a poor-me I was shot 9 times then the second I got out of the hospital a bunch of whores surounded me wahhh to me rapper more money. No, really, in the first 50 cent game when he gets out of the hospital about 5 girls start groping him. Oh, yea, and I hate 50 cent and everone that enjoys his games.

When people say something like "portal gun 'nuff said" , 'nuff said is jsut like fingernails on a chalkboard to me (not that the portal gun isn't overated either)

People who come to my till(I work part time at a "super"market)and then half way through me scanning their stuff they forget something and run to the other end of the shop to get what they forgot, holding up the entire queue at the same time, then they always say "sorry" when they come back, oh you'll be sorry all right *cracks knuckles*

There seems to be a worrying amount of stuff that gets me really irritated. This includes: Female gamers who always have to bring their gender up in discussions and generally make a big deal about it, rabid fanboys, CAR ADVERTS, laziness, nightclubs, bad losers and people who talk/eat loudly at the cinema.

Just keep scanning items and, when you run out of items to scan, just keep scanning the last item over and over until they return. If they complain, tell them it's Parliament's new asshole tax and they should write their MP if they don't like it.

I really hate the cliche Internet anonymity. This shines through in forums, chats, IM programs, and MMORPGs...but it really gets to me in MMORPGs. Yes, I realize I may never be useful to you. I realize you'll never know me, personally, beyond a toon in the game. I know that the game is geared to being the best you can be and shunning every other pursuit without exception. This does not give you a good reason to be a total dickhat!

I say good sir, I had a good LAWL out of that one

I hate WAL MART in all it's pathetic glory. I was dragged there today by my father who claimed we don't spend enough time together even thought I had spent the last week at his place and wouldn't consider shopping at WAL MART quality time but I hadn't a choice. As I walked in a couple people were by the door asking for money but I ignored them as I didn't have any cash on me and when I walked by one said
"I asked you if you could help out"
"I haven't any change, sorry"
"What do you think you're better then me?"
Ok, I had never said that nor indicated that mind set, but he continued to say that loudly and everyone stared. I tried to continue on my way but he was being sure to stay in front of me; eventually I made it in and started to think about it. I looked around at all the halfwits running the place and the morons shopping there.
"excuse me, may I help you"-halfwit #1
"yes, I am looking for some long sleeve dress shirts"-my dad
"oh, well I wouldn't know where they are...hold on a sec" *calls the manager*-halfwit #1
"can I help you?"-halfwit #2
"I'm looking for some long sleeve dress shirts"-my father
"oh...um *looks around for a bit* I can't see them...Steve! Get over here!"
"what?"-halfwit #3, apparently dubbed "Steve"
"I can't find the long sleeve dress shirts" #2
"oh, um...I don't know either" #3, the one they call "Steve"
"for the love of god it says so right on the stickers you put on the shirts!"-me
"oh...um...*trails off"-all 3 of them, one by one
I realized I was the smartest, most dashingly handsome man in there (I normally am ha-ha (sarcasm)) aside form the self checkout machine. So as I left the store I help my head up high and went over to the man from before.
"Yes, yes I do think I am better then you, not because you're black, but because you chose WAL MART of all places to beg for money, and you shop at WAL MART, and you're wearing a WAL MART name tag you dumb fuck! I mean, what other store does it take 3 people to find a long sleeve shirt? In what other store do the employees beg for money? What other store has people dumb enough to still be buy "cars" merchandise? What other store is still carrying "cars" merchandise?"

Yes, that's right, it was an employee begging for money outside. And he didn't need it either I've seen him around town he has a nice car and house.

The one thing that really really gets my goat more than anything else is the trash talked about people who have a talent, but are not yet famous with it.

I'm good at maths. Very good. However, if you try to say that, even as an aside, then you're classed as 'conceited' and all the really embittered built up hatred of Double Maths from years ago suddenly pours in your direction.

I'm sure there's some people out there now who are saying "WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?". Well...I'm somebody that can calculate numbers well. That's all. No cure for cancer, no Nobel prize, I can just add up.

Like Monopoly guy above, it's not about "I've got a talent", it seems to come down to "ARE YOU SAYING I HAVEN'T, YOU MIDDLE CLASS WHITE TRASH SEXIST?", and frankly, it's getting really old.

Even on the forums, the word "elitist" is bandied about with such gay abandon that even having friends or posting occasionally gets you branded.

And someone's going to catch me for using the word 'gay' above as well.

Even if, some day, I do become famous, whatever for, there's going to be a whole bunch of haters wanting to know why they never had that chance, another bunch wanting me to do 'this' instead and a third bunch who just want to hate someone famous.

(This rant has been brought on by an argument I've just had.)

I'm just really sick of having "Approved" targets and "Untargetable" targets.
If you're going to ban sexist stuff, take off all those bloody sitcoms where the man is a well meaning idiot and his pretty, intelligent wife runs the show.
If you're gonna ban any other sort of -isms, take a good long look so the innocents don't become a victim.

I have never hit a woman, enslaved another race, stolen money, targetted someone's weakness or starved another country.
Please don't treat me as if I have.

People who say incredible stupid things and then say they were being sarcastic to cover thier ass. Or when someone states their opinion and then realizes you dont agree so they try and cover it up by saying their joking

I'm not going to try to defend my rant because it was nothing more, a rant spawned by an already bad mood then having to deal with WAL MART and its insipid and prfoundly stupid employees, I do rectract it as I have settled down but I still don't like WAL MART. OK not really those wankers deserve everything they get. If your fake begging then make a scene to try and money from me thats just sad and you need to fuck off becuase you are a "parasite" and nobody wants you around.
Okay, I'm not really getting my point across that well, so here's basically what I am trying to say- SHUT UP! If you don't have enough competence to look at a sticker you yoruself put on teh shirt you are either trying to get fired or suffer from pure determined retardation, if you don't have enough money for food ten stop muying ciggarattes adn boose I realize its not that hard but then again neither is dying.

I will stop ranting now before I get banned if I'm not already (going to be). My condolences.

oh yea, and crunchy peanut butter!

I'm sure as hell not going to read 10 pages of gripes, and im nearly certain this one has been mentioned, but Tupperware.

not the product as such, just the plan and strats behind it. here we have people who stop seeing people as people and seeing them as demographics. they see either the commission on the tupperware sale, or the signup bonus for signing them up.

and then eventually you get desperite and you go through the obituaries and offer condolences and a fantastic new product

WAL MART: police were called to a local Wal Mart recently with reports of a baby in a trash can, upon investigation it turned out to be a burrito.

That is a real police report.
Holy shit.

this just proves my point about WAL*MART

People who discourage intelligence. Going through high school, I was always being told by my peers to use smaller words because their brains couldn't handle things over 7 letters long. Man, did I get pissed at idiots who instead of taking the opportunity to use larger vocabulary, instead don large, dark glasses, dye their hair, pop in a piece of gum, whip out a cell phone, act like bitches, and drag down the intelligence level to suit their needs.

Some times I hate people so much it makes me want to burn the world. Molten malice so intense that the blood of a million murders would not cool its surface. Omnidirectional, baleful, malign rendered so vividly in my imagination it strangles my body with physical pain. It's a throbbing anger so hideous and degenerate that there's little one can do but scream your throat raw at a scrawled sigil as hallow and meaningless as your own life.

Then comes the realization that for all that smoke and bluster, you're just a trapped wisp of dust on a rock floating in nothing. An oxidizing bag of thinking water bound to the inevitability of decay and failure. Your greatest accomplishments will face immediate obselecene and after you and everyone you love is dead the best you can hope for if a fading footnote in posterity. Enter the passage of time and you will be utterly erased long before the extinction of humanity.

...

It's difficult to reconcile these feelings and remain functional, civilized and content in a world you find terrifying and incomprehensible. I guess you could say that gets my goat.

People who stare.
And people who don't take phobias seriously (i.e people in my primary who would have balloon fights in the same room as me when there was a bigger and empty room just next door.)
On that note, anyone know if there's an official name for a balloon phobia?
