Bands who insist on audience participation (singalongs, etc) to an annoying extent. Just fucking PLAY and the participation will follow naturally.
Near-strangers who want to arm-wrestle.
People who feel the need to aggressively extol the virtues and correct misconceptions about their “little brother” country to anyone who will listen. Canadians (I belong to this group) are among the worst, with Aussies a close second. Its really lame and gives locals a bad impression of your country. I once saw an Aussie guy almost beat up a middle-aged Japanese man for asking if he was a Kiwi. Also saw a Canadian girl get pretty offended when asked if Toronto was the capital of Canada. Chill out people!
Control Freaks; Mainly when people just assume they are in charge. Here is a good example.
I was put in a group for a performance a few months ago and this girl automatically assumed she was in charge. WHat;s worse is everyone just went along with it. Not me though, I have too much testostorone to let something like that happen.
When you are half a sleep on a plane for a business trip first thing on the Red Eye on Mon morning, drift off for a second, only to wake up to find you got skipped just seconds ago for your drink.
Then to politely try to make eye contact with the steward only to be ignored every time until he finally moves the cart past your aisle and ever so politely hint for a drink by stating" I’m sorry, was I sleeping as you came by?" to be responded with in a super flaming bitchy voice “This area has already been served, so you must have.” And then not offered a drink. That brings out the rage! Luckily another stewardess saw my death stare and gave me multiple drinks lickity split.
1)People who try to take away from someone’s accomplishments(Someone benches 350 but all of a sudden thats not impressive because he doesn’t squat 800lbs).
2)People who let women talk shit to a guy but get all big and defensive when the guy talks shit back at her.
3)150lb “fighter” who think they hit harder then me, and could take out anyone because there technique somehow makes up for the fact that I am 75lbs bigger then them and hit harder then they could ever dream of.
4)Slow drivers
5)Assholes who blame everyone else but themselves.
Wet socks. I throw on a new pair to enjoy the cushiony softness, and God SMITES me with a drop of water on my sole? Fuck that.
Wobbly tables. Fuck those engineers who can’t make tables that can last. I always have to grab the day’s paper (I make sure it’s the front page) and fold it up and place it under a jacked up table leg.
People that enjoy lecturing on how you could have avoided a mistake that you obviously don’t regularly commit. It fucking happened, let it go. Better yet, let ME let it go, you mother fucker.
People that know you are waiting for them to pull out of their parking spot, and yet somehow intentionally lag to piss you off like it’s some control thing for them. Why do you care if I take your spot? You are leaving.

People that pull their econo-cart into my truck’s blind spot when I’m backing out of a space, then get all impatient when I stop & wait for them to give me more room to get out of their way…
The asshole in my quiet neighborhood who drives his huge LOUD truck around at odd hours of the night and day. I’ve been told he bought some device that makes the truck louder. And this guy is in his 40s.

This is a very cathartic thread.
I’m pretty sure cathartic means laxative. This thread is very laxative?
People who don’t understand the use of cathartic. It can refer to a laxative effect but is also an emotional release.
Thank you.
Cathartic is not used where I am from. I apologize. YOu provoked me to look up the word. Websters defined it as a laxative

I’m skeptical that dictionaries are used much where you’re from. It’s pretty clearly defined in every online dictionary I looked at as “a process of releasing strong emotions through a particular activity or experience”. In only one instance was there an alternate definition that referred to a purging medicine, but that definition was also prefaced by “Medical” which means it has a limited use.
Not to be critical (but I feel like a dick today), but cathartic and emo are two VERY different concepts. Emo (sullen and brooding) would be cured by a catharsis.

I’m still confused as to why he thinks we don’t use “cathartic” in Colorado.
People who own a house and don’t carry insurance. House burns down and look for the community to “pinch” in and rebuild. If you can afford a house get insurance!! Same for appartments, it’s cheap I mean so you have to drink less beer or smoke less cigs…
People who smoke. (I used to smoke, disgusting habit and unhealthy).
People who think a great time is always to get drunk and they drink so much that they black out and can’t remember most of what they did the night before however it must have been a great time because they were drunk.
People who treat their pets better than their own children, I love animals and I loved my pets when I was kid but holy shit they’re pets not people! And yes, there is no fucking animal out there that someone with allergies will not be allergic to (perhaps a high tolerance, however your mileage will vary). If I say I’m allergic to dogs, I’m fucking allergic asshole, what degree in medicine comes with dog ownership?
