Also csulli, this is pretty much the exact nutrition philosophy that gave Brock Lesnar his diverticular disease, which is best avoided.
Sorry, I don’t mean to sound like I’m singling you out 
Saying vegetables are useless because they can take a multi-vitamin is like a vegan saying meat is useless since they can take a vitamin B-12 supplement.
Staying on subject let me say that I hate dietary extremists.
This includes vegans, people who say you should eat no carbs, paleo-fags who act like all grains are bad for us, etc.

Good call. I love Snickers, but that is a topic for a whole other thread.

No offense, I guess, but geez.
The DMV, sitting in traffic and bad driver’s. All things I’ve done this week.
People who NEVER work their legs and as a result literally have no butt. Do they not realize how ridiculous they look? Also, the super obese people at the gym who pay for these trainers that have them on an awful program. I feel bad for them…
Also, people who do not remove plates from the bar or clean up after themselves.
Unnecessary grunting
Homeless people especially the people who look and appear to be physically able to work but decide to just sit on the side of the road and beg for money
You don’t want to mess around with diverticulitis, man. My dad missed my going away party last week with it. Those lucky enough to have a good gut need to really take care of it.
Not really a pet peeve, but I think it’s kind of funny how food advertisements will say things that aren’t good in order to trick people into thinking they’re good.
“100% grain fed beef!”
Rice Chex “GLUTEN FREE!” right next to Wheat Chex “100% WHOLE GRAIN!”
“As much protein as an egg” is an odd one. An egg only has like 6g of protein and I’m sure it’s way higher quality than that you can get in a WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL!
People who dont care in general …yes, that means YOU!
People who slack at work, or try to get in the way of others who are trying to get shit done
owners/bosses who dont fire useless workers.
people who try to control others.
people who dont use their blinkers in traffic
inferior people
weak people, weak things/objects
fabric when it starts binding or creasing in areas that you dont want it to!!! (THATS WOMENS WORK DAMMIT)
People who ask questions when they want onlyl one answer and start crying/arguing when you answer it the other way…SIMPLE QUESTION, SIMPLE ANSWER, NOW GO AWAY!
SALES - The industry, fucking everything is a fucking sales pitch these days. I can t even cash a check without getting asked about why I dont want to open a savings account. people trying to upsell everything, asking me to buy a stupid replacement plan for a $30 electrconic item at best buy.
You flip a pancake and it lands folded…
People who are judgemental.

None taken. I would be overjoyed if someone could finally explain to me the magic behind vegetables. Because on paper they are complete garbage from a macronutrient standpoint (low in calories, carbs, fat, and protein…). So the only thing I can think of that they bring to the table are micronutrients, which I feel like I can get just as well in pill form.
Therefore I must be missing some kind of magical x-factor that makes vegetables worthwhile, and I would be quite pleased to get talked out of my opinion on their uselessness, because then I’d feel better about all the vegetables I’ve eaten in my life.

You have some valid points. Micros and macros aside though, many vegetables are a great vehicle for delivering cheese sauces and other buttery concoctions.
You can’t do that with a pill nearly as well as with a broccoli florette. It all falls off the tablet, and gell caps are no good for this either.

I agree with the point that you can get sufficient vitamins from a pill and get rid of vegetables all together. I do feel, however, that during a diet, since they are low in macros, they take up some space in the stomach which can stop people from shoveling more calories down their throats. We also live in a time where people do not drink anywhere near as much water as they should and vegetables, being mostly water, help provide some extra without having to drink 8 glasses.
I will say that they seem more useful to the average person than they do to a bodybuilder.
two really.
Zealots and extremists of any kind. Having a completely closed mind is a dangerous or annoying thing. Think religious martyrs and irrational sports fans. Or Crossfit junkies and ‘clean eaters’ etc.
People who argue with those who are accomplished in the topic. Mainly when it comes to money, success and well being.
For example a poor person asking advice from a rich person, not agreeing with said advice because they havent done it, cant do it or are scared to do it. Someone who has never grown or built a business telling someone who has best practices. Fat people telling fit people ‘that doesnt work’ when really they mean ‘i do not want to do that’. You get the point.
Actually three things, I hate poeple who wait to die instead of live post schooling. They never read, learn, grow, develope ect. Just sit there and rot mentally and phyiscally until the die decades later.

My wife’s masters is in what amounts to economics. (There is more to it, but it is largely Frankfurt nonsense) and she makes fun of me endless for pouring over the books she kept from college, like I’m the biggest nerd on Earth.
A lot of things grind my gears. And as I get older, each time one of those things pop up, I try and think about why, and if I’m wrong.

See that’s exactly what I’m talking about! The only good thing about vegetables it seems is that for fat people they’re a tasty alternative to filling their stomach with dirt so that they’re not hungry enough to keep eating doughnuts. By that definition their very usefulness is a product of how nutritionally worthless they are.
Getting charity mugged 3-4x a day.

Funny you mentioned that last part. Lately I have been trying to do the same, and more often than not I come to the realization that what angers me in some people, tends to be traits i am guilty of.
