How funny, I was going to start a thread called ‘Opinionated?’ but I was beaten to it.
-
I despise people that brag. Whether it is about getting laid, making money or making gains or their education. There is ALWAYS someone out there who has made more progress than you, so shut the fuck up.
-
People that love pets but hate children. Makes no sense to me.
2a. Girls that don’t want kids because of “stretch marks, gross.” Is that really a reason not to have offspring, you dumb fuck?
-
Bouncers. You got this job because you are a big dude, not because anyone thought you were worth something or really S-M-R-T. Your job is no more important than a janitor’s.
-
People that come into a social setting and ONLY say hello to the folks that they know, ignoring the other people in the room/area. How stupid do you look? Show some goddamn manners. Being shy is not an excuse, you fucking cretin.
-
Alcohol/literature/food snobbery. You “only” drink 18 year Scotch? Really? Do you have any idea how many good 10-17 yr Scotches are out there, and how many 18 and up Scotches are overpriced and overhyped?
-
I don’t care what you bench, bro.
-
People that put milk in tea. What are you, retarded? And no, that doesn’t make it ‘chai.’ Why don’t I order a pepperoni pizza and pick off the pepperonis because I wanted to eat a cheese pizza?
-
People that complain about paying $4 per gallon but spend at least that, every morning, at Starbucks. FYI: Starbucks does NOT serve fresh coffee.
-
Corps cutting jobs. It is NOT the difference between zero profit and profit, it is the difference between profit and less profit. I see news of job cuts that imply if the move wasn’t done, the co. would suffer losses. Losses don’t mean NET losses, they could mean less profit than the previous years.
-
The fact that nobody seems to have a good opinion these days. People just aren’t passionate anymore, and I think it is because their values are not challenged. Values aren’t challenged because we can afford to be ‘different,’ to crawl into this cave of individuality and not worry about being accountable for our beliefs.
And no, you can’t be passionate about ‘Sex and the City’ or ‘motorcycles’ or ‘lifting.’ I mean, what keeps you up at night?
-
How every guy these days thinks he’s either Scarface or Charles Schwab.
-
Girls that are pre-emptively rude or short with you because they’re worried you will hit on them, and they’d just rather be off-putting than have to deal with politely telling you they are not interested.
It comes with the territory. If you want to be able to sit on your ass and have men approach you, ergo doing minimal work, then you have to accept that you will get guys approaching you that you may not like. Just as they shouldn’t take rejection personally, don’t take it so personally yourself if they hit on you. Take the flattery, and learn to bow out of a situation gracefully.
- The way this country works in general. Offer me money at low rates when I don’t need and health coverage when I’m perfectly healthy. If I am negative on my bank account, charge me more! Sure, I can afford it! That’s certainly not why I didn’t have enough money in my account to begin with!
If I could burn every insurance company to the ground and get away with it, I would.
-
Feel good legislation.
-
The 1:30 last call at CA bars/clubs. If people are going to drink and drive at 2 am, they will drink and drive at 4 or 5 am. See #14. And blame MADD for this stupidity.
-
Banning smoking in outdoor settings. Huh? Move away from the smokers, you morons. Quit coughing when you are near them or walking past them. What’s that you say? You don’t like the smell, so they shouldn’t be allowed to smoke?
Why don’t we ban taking a shit in public restrooms because some people can’t stand the smell it leaves the facilities in?
-
That I can’t put money into someone else’s parking meter. There’s actually a law against this? Oh, that’s right, if more people filled up random parking meters, the stupid parking nazis would be out of a job, right?
-
HOAs because they act god-like.
-
Making it harder for people of countries that the US is not on the best terms with to get visas to come over here.
Do you realize that, if you want to HURT those countries economically, the best way would be to grant at least all their professionals easy entrance to the States, initiating a ‘brain drain’ ? See #14.
- People who can’t keep a conversation going or who just lag.
You call someone or send an email and you ask a question, the answer to which could be of value to both of you. Case in point:
Me: “So, you want to grab a bite?”
“Sure.”
Me: “Let’s hit up x…”
“Nah.”
Me: “Ok, where to?”
“I don’t know. Let me call you in a bit.”
(1 hour later)
“Sorry, I just decided to eat at home. Maybe another time?”
Either make a fucking decision, or just roll with whatever the person comes up with.
