People who tell me (usually with the sex in a canoe joke) that all American beer is flavorless piss.
This, This, This. That's unfortunately, how I lost my last girlfriend. Do I feel like a heel? Yes. Do I feel like I did the right thing? Yes.Jamboxdotcom said:
OT: I'd have to say deadbeat parents. Definitely deadbeat parents.
When people make judgements purely based off of their emotions, rather then any use of deductive reasoning or logic.
I'm a cashier/door greeter at a local sporting goods store.
When I'm at the register, and you come up to me to pay, get off your fucking phone, before I stick it up your nose. It's rude to completely ignore the person that's about to decide wether or not your order of $49.99 is good enough to use that coupon that requires your order to be $50. And it happens a lot.
When I'm greeting you at the door, acknowledge me. I say "Hi, how are you.?" because I'm there to help you. Don't just walk past me and pretend you didn't hear me. When I follow up with "Can I help you find anything today?", don't continue to ignore me. Maybe I can help you find the English language or some fucking people skills, you pompous ass. See if I instruct that cashier to let your expired coupon go through. Not happening. And when you come back to me to ask for help, I've got other, more important customers to attend to.

Dishonesty, especially from girlfriends, but in general. Say what you mean, keep your word, and if you force me to have to guess what you're thinking, don't ***** me out when I guess wrong, especially when all your signals point to the conclusion I came up with.
People who betray trust are the worst human beings alive.

Stupid people and/or those who will wantonly waste what precious little time we have on this earth, whilst at the same time actively shortening it by giving you hypertension. Often the same people. The ones where you wonder how they managed to turn up at the right(ish) place at the right(ish) time, sort of dressed and vaguely clean and brushed.
Been having a lot of trouble with them recently, including losing the majority of a hard won week off work... to work problems they caused.

Abuse against something that doesn't deserve it, such as children or animals that aren't trying to bite off something, however thats a vague term, as in the case of self defense, in were lets say a man would hit a women and someone deems, it either, over self defense, or abuse, but regardless, pointless violence would probably be the words im looking for.
I have a couple
1: People who can't spell or at least find their way to the "spell check" function that exists on EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER! This includes people who use "your and you're," "its and it's," and "there, they're, and their" interchangeably.
2. People who have very strong opinions, but have absolutely no proof, or fallacious proof to support them. For example I believe that the United States government was not founded based on Christianity, because, founding father, John Adams said ?The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.?

3. Anyone who hated Portal.

I can't stand inexcusable discourtesy. It's...well, inexcusable. There is no reason for it. Like today, for example. Two days ago, my mom broke her ankle in two places. Today we were waiting to be seen by the doctor at the clinic when she had to go to the bathroom. I helped her in there, spotting her as she slowly made her way there on crutches (she couldn't put any weight on it at all). There was only one handicap stall, and it was being used up by this lady who was talking on her cell phone and had a bunch of papers and magazines spread on the floor.
She never flushed the toilet or anything. All she did was jabber in there for several minutes. After she finally hung up, picked up her stuff, and got out I saw that she was not handicapped in the least. She was just using the stall as her own personal phone booth while my mom had to hop into a narrow stall on one foot, turn around, and carefully situate herself without anything to stabilize her apart from the toilet paper holder.
I mean really, I understand it was a doctor's office and most would probably appreciate her taking her phone conversation into the bathroom, but to take up a stall--especially the handicap stall--just to talk on your phone is just plain idiotic. And too, it was an orthopedic clinic. Common sense could have told her that the handicap stall (with its large size and convenient handle bars) would have been in high demand. But no, taking up a bathroom stall just to talk on the phone is SO much more courteous than just standing outside of it so that others can get in.
Also:
~People who don't hold doors when you obviously need help with it and they are perfectly capable of doing so.
~People who leave their shopping carts directly in the way of everybody else at the store when there are at least 5 other good locations to choose from.
~People who blame and complain to other people about things they can't control.
~People who stand directly in everybody's way and can't take a hint.
~People who sit in their cars in the middle of the lanes in a parking lot, making it inaccessible to everyone else
~People who drive the wrong way up one-way parking lot lanes
So, in general, the one thing that--without question--will piss me right off is people who do things that inconvenience others for the sake of their own convenience. Every one of those things I listed are standards that I hold to myself. I do my absolute best to make sure whatever I'm doing does not inconvenience others around me. It's an impulse for me--a habit. I can't stand to not do it. Any time I do otherwise I feel terrible for it. The only time I will even ever think of doing otherwise is if somebody is being particularly rude or thoughtless and I feel the need to get some passive-aggressive justice.
