Your Berserk Button

[Froggy Slayer]

What's the one thing that will make you not just mad, but INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE?

For me, it's people who are arseholes purely for the sake of being arseholes. I find it quite bad when people act with disregard for others, but when they try to hurt someone else simply to gain enjoyment from hurting someone else, I get real pissed off.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Stupid arguments against abortion, especially fear mongering.

One guy debating on tv said that legalising abortion under extreme circumstances wold turn hospitals into abortion mills and that women would start killing their young, alive children because abortion is legal.

What even is that?
I find it really frustrating, I actually nearly yelled at the television.


On a lighter note, people putting CDs and DVDs back in the wrong cases.
Why do you want to hurt me?!

 

[Smolderin]

I find myself being extremely aggravated when my parents express their conservative views, keeping ahold of traditions that are quite frankly obsolete and/or illogical in every way possible. Actually...maybe conservative isn't the right word...more along the lines of dated. For example, they still consider video games a form of toy that is only played by people under the age of 10. They have no educational or artistic value and every second spent playing the game is either one step closer to being Adam Lanza or becoming the freaking Rainman.

Really much of my anger comes from the much older generations of human beings, namely the idiots still running my American government. There views are so prehistoric and ignorant in nature, you can't help but think that they are either really really really stupid, or smart enough to know that what they say would hit upon the right type of people to further their own agendas. Either way is stupid. Just makes me wish that the old coots would drop dead and let someone younger who actually grew up in this generation have a hand at running things.

So overall I would just say outdated views hit my Berserk button. Naturally I do what I can to keep away from the news and all that....shame there is no escaping my parents for a bit though.

 

[Harley Q]

People who won't take responsibility for their own actions, always blaming on other people, or other factors. Constantly justifying their behaviour and never ever accepts that they ever did something wrong. makes me want to punch their stupid stupid faces

 

[Ryotknife]

fearmongering and demonizing in general.

People who paint the other side as some horrible evil for no other reason than because they are on a different side, not for any specific reason.

People who refuse to try to see something from the other side (not saying you have to agree with them) and instead are more loyal to a side than their own personal beliefs.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much those who try you flamebait me especially this person on this thread on here weeks ago when I make a dickish comment which I had apologise for afterward!

 

[FalloutJack]

Right here, buddy.


Oh wait, you mean what gets me MAD... Well, a bunch of things, and I like to keep people guessing. So, if you are ever worried about "What might Jack get angry at enough to deliver a verbal lashing capable of crushing one's will to live?", I'm here to tell you that you must live in total fear of that day without a hint or clue of any kind.

Have a nice day.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Conservatism. Religion. Conscious, unjustifiable discrimination. Unjustifiable ignorance. People condemning or misunderstanding others? conditions or disorders, perhaps even putting the blame on them. Those without empathy. The media.

 

[Phasmal]

People who moan about the friend-zone and being a `Nice Guy` make me wanna sneeze blood on them.

And anyone who tries to touch my feet. I WILL KICK YOUR FACE.

 

[ThatRandomGuy42]

Pure ignorance.

I know a guy who is dating a girl. He's cheated on her and has somehow drawn her back each time.
I wanna punch him.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

It is bullies for me. People that pick on others or go out of there way to make someone elses day worse. I don't think there is anything else in the world that makes my blood boil more than a bully.

I am one of those people that the whole bad boy/bad girl routine does not work on.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Arrogance. Go ahead, be an arrogant douche with your opinion, it's only going to end in me punching you in a blind rage. It'll make me feel better and won't advance the argument at all.

 

[The Funslinger]

For me, it's got to be people who prostitute their personal lives for attention.

The most clear cut example are the stereotypical celebrities, throwing their lives at tabloid journalists, and even doing things to garner attention from said journalists. Then, inevitably it all goes wrong when some controversial, very private thing they've done comes to light.

For the common person, it tends to be things like Facebook statuses. Yeah, this stuff obviously isn't very important to you if you're happy announcing it to the world in some blanket statement.

Bullshit like 'oh, why can't I just find a nice person?' 'Sick of being so sad all the time' and the passive aggressive ones not visibly aimed at anyone in particular, but they know who they are, gawd!

Someone posted something to the effect of 'why are all the girls I meet cunts?' and had it not been for the inevitable social backlash, I'd have replied, 'because unlike magnets, like attracts like.'

If these people could, they'd be the aforementioned attention whore celebrities, and really it's just sickening.

 

[Zhukov]

Cruelty to animals.

Yes, yes, I know, I should be more concerned about cruelty to people because... reasons. But for some reason seeing people torment animals just, yeah... pushes that big ol' button.

Saw a bunch of teenagers torturing a seagull once. I kinda went severely apeshit over it. Ended up having to put the poor bird out of its misery myself.

 

[shrekfan246]

People who say that [Insert Genre Here] isn't "really music" because of reasons. Or who will hand-wave entire genres for "just being noise".

People who ***** about the state of video games these days while completely and conveniently ignoring every single game that deflates their argument.

 

[ShinyCharizard]

Agreed. I can't stand anyone being cruel to animals whatsoever.

 

[thesilentman]

My main one is stupidity. Everything else that drives me up the wall is derived from that.

 

[Heronblade]

Anyone that enforces their will through brutality, from schoolyard bullies to abusive spouses to genocidal dictators.

 

[Ljs1121]

Abuse towards my loved ones, whether physical or verbal.

I can tolerate pretty much anything else, but if you're personally threatening one of my close friends or family members, that would probably push me over the edge.
