Before i write my post id like to suggest that it is in fact possible to write about things you dislike about society and the world around you without instigating arguments and hurting other individuals.

Furthermore id like to remind everyone whom may be reading this that i do not know you therefore you should not feel offended by things i may say or imply.

This week seems to really suck. Why, you may ask? Quite simply because ive been reminded numerous times about numerous things that anger me but are out of my control. so what pisses you off? Ill start!

EI (and any other form of government insurance)

I hate EI. Its just one of the many ways the government takes my money and spends it on crap. As a young individual i don't have all that much money to begin with. So when i see that 250$ has been taken off my paycheck, lets just say its disappointing. whats more disappointing is the only people who seem to collect EI are the ones who work for the bare minimum of time to be eligible for it. im sure that if i somehow find myself out of a job and apply for EI i won't get it.

The Unemployed. (At least the ones who are fully able to make a living)

I understand that there are individuals that can't work for medical reasons bvut come on. i know a dozen individuals that come into my workplace every day, totally strung out on prescription medication they don't need. They don't have jobs, that don't make a living no matter how capable they are. What they survive off of is there government paycheck that i payed for. they mostly use it for scratch tickets and cigarettes.

Companies (Everything from McDonald's to ICBC)

Mostly monopolized ones. the ones that think they can get away with selling you the worst piece of trash processed burger, stuffed with every chemical from A-Z ending in ite, gen, ide, etc. or the ones that are government controlled that have a monopoly protected by law allowing them to charge you 1100$ a year on the most basic insurance you can get from them.

I think all crappy food products should have neon orange signs on them similar to those found on cigarettes.

Generally, I have quite a high tolerance and it's very difficult to annoy me, but these are the things that'll tick me off.

-> Bigotry in general - Racism, homophobia, sexism...
-> People who mess with friends - infamous case: the whale. Another case: The matinee. They were so alike, yet they've never even met, just as well because the world would implode.
-> Extremism
-> People who are willfully ignorant - It's fine to be unintentionally ignorant, but it's difficult to talk to someone who is ignorant for the sake of being ignorant
-> Arrogance
-> Ego-heads - example, the guy with the 'I am God people worship me' kind of ego who actually sat down and told me 'I am God, people worship me' and gave a nice speech about how great he is. Nice one to fit the stereotype
-> Stereotypes. They're rarely true, if you ever hear me making racial, homophobic or sexist comments, it's usually to highlight the ridiculousness of that kind of bigotry and the stereotypes that follow. Tip: Never let me play play Streets of Rage
-> Misrepresentation and dishonesty - Nothing is more annoying when people willfully misrepresent the truth in their or somebody else's favour.
-> Blatant hypocrites - It's natural to be hypocritical from time to time, we're not perfect, but those who are really blatantly hypocritical, I find annoying, like my old house mate who didn't do a finger of the house-work had a go at me because I left my washing up because I was late for a leaving party. I was one of the people in the house that did most of the housework.

Self-minders who only brag about themselves and don't care for anyone else.
People who take the crap out of groups like Marilyn Manson or Evanescence just because I like them.
People who try to drag me away from doing what I want.
People saying that my phone (Samsung S5560) is a new leaked and illegal iPhone (can't be, my phone's decent)
People who screw people off by flashing their phones in everyone's faces.
Phone adverts showing JUST the stupid new iPhone and nothing else. Please, it looks like a bloody oversized Ecstasy tablet, should have something like "Cola" on the back...
Guides coming up to you in stores begging to help you.
Gits who act hard when they just act like downright pikeys and prats.
Being blamed or punished for something I blatantly didn't do.
Town idiots.
Bloody l33t talkers "hu tlk lik tis ussly", stupid illiterate c's.
People Who Talk Like This, we're not writing a bloody title for a film or something, get your brain into gear and speak PROPER English.
iTunes and Amazon-only albums, I want a hard and visual album of Smith and Pyle, thanks.
Ideas which fade away just when you're about to try it out.
iPod Touches and iPhones. They're overrated, flattened tin cans.
Copying Mp3s onto my S5560 with artwork and not having them displayed. All my 39 odd albums on there have artwork, yet only Mp3 downloads from sites or Amazon and Pendulum's Immersion show up.
Linear games with no exploration.
Fallout 3. It killed my Graphics Card for 1 day even with lowest settings. Stupid Bethesda.
Games saying you need PhysX installed when you have it installed. I can't play Cryostasis anymore.
Useless posts.
Pointless posts.
People being stupid and ignoring the AUP and being too lazy to search the forum or look at previous posts.
People saying that FPS Creator X10 is a fail. Get bent, the one failing is X9 because it's had an update almost every day to fix thousands of bugs because noone can be asked to solve it themselves so they pester Lee. Shut your faces and enjoy the freaking program.
People saying about X9-only packs because X10 cannot run packs of that quality. Tell us when you get Relief, real-time reflection, water settings, motion blur, toggleable and editable bloom, and decent Dark AI. I'll be waiting.
People saying that the games are bad because they are made in X10. I've made millions of awesome pieces in X10 and they don't work in puny bottom-feeder X9. I've only seen a few good X9 games and X10 has much less games made, yet they look quality. Do research before you screw something off, for God's sake.

Also:

People who invade your personal space.
My friend when drunk is a proper space invader, I've almost punched him before now.

Fanboys & Haters - why do people have to project their opinions onto you from a point of superiority? I don't care if you think the product you've got is better than the product I've got, because it was my choice to get my product and I made an informed decision, so it's not yours to make. I like Microsft, Apple, Nintendo and Sony. So, it gets sodding annoying dealing with all of their fanboys. On the other hand, you have the haters, in some circles, it's awkward for you to say, "oh I like what apple did there!"
The most annoying hater I found in the real world was when I was at a stall and a Twilight hater was talking to us about Twilight, as a fellow person who dislikes Twilight, there was some common ground so a conversation was sustainable, then a girl appeared and she said, 'Oh you're talking about Twilight, I like those books' and she was interested in talking to us about what we thought about them and it could have been a civilised and intellectual discussion, but instead, the other guy just projected his views with no mercy. Bloody rude, I felt, sure I don't like the books, but be reasonable. Funny thing was, the same guy was talking about how he wanted to send his Final Fantasy fan-fiction to Square to see it published...if I weren't so polite, I would have burst out laughing.

Agree'd. we call them chavs around here.

Quote: "People that hog the left side of an escalator, and don't understand you are supposed to walk on the left and stand on the right."

Really? whenever I use an escalator its the other way round, and these are ones like the tube escalators.

Anyway things I also hate:
Anti nuclear protesters claiming that power stations will be targets for terrorism and that we'll be over run with nuclear waste. - All new power stations could survive a bunker busting bomb, which means whatever the terrorists have isn't going to do much. Also they have A HELL OF ALOT of fail safes and don't produce anywhere near as much radioactive waste as people seem to think, as well as I'm pretty sure I read about a new reactor that can used the waste to generate power, further reducing its half life and radioactivity.

Companies using technical jargon to confuse people into buying their products. I'm wise enough to know what their talking about half the time and look it up if I don't, but alot of people lack that common sense. And when they try to blame THEIR problem on the customer.

How you need to of had work experience to get a job. I was lucky enough to have contacts to get me my first job, but alot of people aren't and due to a lack of experience NOWHERE will hire them.

EMA. I have 2 sisters and my family makes barely over the amount to qualify, I know people who live on their own with 1 parent who get EMA as well as a massive amount from their other parent, I knew people who would be getting around £100 a week from their parents as well as EMA, whereas I haven't had a penny and get no EMA. It's just a stupid system.

America (not in a racist way, I do like American people, I just dislike American companies and their government, just read the reason) because I remember that a while ago there was an American organisation protesting for countries to lower the CO2 output, when America was asked (as they have the highest CO2 output per person in the world) they pretty much said "No, you reduce your output and we'll do whatever we like"

People who can see that I know what I'm doing with computers, but still feel it's more appropriate to ask someone for help that's ridiculously incompetent when their both next to me.

When that incompetent idiot thinks they know how to do everything and calls you moron when you point out they're b***s*** and how to do things in a much better way.

People calling me racist. My best friends black and my fiancé to be is Asian with American relatives, how is that racist?

Indian call centres. I have nothing against Indians, but when I call for support it'd be nice to know what you're saying.

iPhones. I have a normal phone and an iTouch that do exactly the same thing and saved me around £300.

iPad. Seriously, what is it useful for?

Console fanboys/girls. They're pretty much the same thing, shut up going on about how your console is better.

Brand loyalty. That really annoys me. I save ALOT of money from not being brand loyal, and often get better products as well, while there's idiots who allow brands to charge ridiculous prices for poorly manufactured goods, simply because of brand loyalty.

Cocky tall people. It's not because you're tall that I dislike you, it's because you think you're better than me because you're bigger than me.

Buses. Rarely ever on time.

there's more, but I've made too long a post as it is.

People that make forum posts that do not make a single line break although they are about 5 paragraphs in length.
Chavs
Apple and everything they make a charge 5 times what it is worth for it.
Call centres
Chavs that drive past with music on so loud its a miracle they can still hear.
ISP "Experts" that tell you that the internet is going slowly because they have limited you for usage when its 9 in the morning and you just got up, you where out the day before and you have 20GB limit.
Rap Music - Seriously any idiot can turn on their PC put a beat in the background and say a few words that slightly rhyme and sing (i say sing that's not what I'd call it) about how they had sex with 10 people again and shot up some brother.
Facebook people that get friends for the sake of friends. For that matter i hate facebook, bebo, myspace and all that. All they have done is make it so you can be friends with all the people that hate you.
Justin Beiber and everyones obsession with him/her (i can't decide).
People that seem to think that Direct X9 is still worth developing with and that XP is the best thing since sliced bread.
People that don't have jobs and claim benefits but can't be arsed to go get a job, Tesco and Asda are always taking new people in so why not make an effort.
Old people that are completely PC illiterate, just because trying to tell them something about a PC is like

Ah, that reminds me of a friend. She sat around complaining about ugly people who pretend to be hot - I was ~17 stone at the time and fall into the category. I think my only 'sexy' pose in a picture is when I showed my cleavage to a camera, but then I had a few to drink, seeing them tagged on Facebook the next morning was frightening, "Hey, that's my hand! I didn't touch another person's breasts did I? No wait, they're mine..."

The aforementioned lass, when she caught me on Facebook after her 'ugly' people rant, she spammed me with images of the exact thing she was talking about with captions like, "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

It'd probably say something quite horrible and superficial about this person, but I suppose you'd have to understand the sense of humour.

If you knew of how many CDs I have this problem with... no Dope, Tool or any other awesomeness...

The Posting Competition
It's the most useless and stupid thread ever, but I still post there for some god forsaken reason.

Lag
Everyone knows why. Especially in online games.

Little Hip Gansta Wannabes
I mean literally little. There's like these 12-14 year-old little people, who think they are so tough and all that stuff. They always go pissing people off, but if you even talk rudely to them, they go all "tough guy" on you. And you know what that is?
"My big brother will beat you up"... yeah. Laughing yet?

Mopeds, Motorbikes and all that stuff
They are just an over-craze here. And I'm propably one of the only ones of my age that is in no way interested in that kinda crap. And that's another reason people call me weird.

Dreadlock haters
I have no problem with it, but if you just keep saying how ugly my dreads are, and just keep touching them and say they feel gross and say your gonna cut them off, that pisses me off.

Tons of YouTubers
Why? I go to watch a Tool video in YouTube and what are most of the comments:
"Tool sucks"
"They should have called themselves fool, for making this band"
"Tool Rocks! Thumbs up if you agree"
"[random quote from the song to get thumbs up]"
"Everyone who pressed dislike, is a fag Bieber fan"
and so on... you get the idea...

Carrie haterz.
I've seen some... mostly YouTube again, but not all. And that's becouse they didn't think it was gory, scary or Carrie looked ugly to them. But that's a quite rare occasion, but I see it more than you'd think.

That's all. I wasn't wroting all of this seriously. Just like... half seriously.

YES! GOD DAMN IT YES!

That is the bane of my life right now!

Sadly I have alot to hate:

Chavs, "Yeh an' what blad?! You startin'?!" Umm no, I just asked if I could get past you mate, no need to make this into some alpha male to impress your pretty sketty girlfriend because you can't impress her in...other ways,

Environmentalists. Yes, nuclear waste is bad, yes, CO2 kills babies. It's all very evil. But please stop saying, "We need to think of a different way", and come back when you actually do!

Any online competitive game that isn't TF2. Because it's perfect IMO. Lobby system so I only play maps I want, overall comedy about it to reduce rage quit syndrome, and taunting is just so good.

CoD would be twice as good if A, it was as balanced as TF2, B, you could choose what map to play, rather than getting Derail, leaving, getting Derail again, leaving, then getting put into a lobby - for Derail.

Oh and C, I could taunt those people with infininoob-tube classes and tac knifes.

People with a gamertag like xx Quickscopez xx. Is the xx like war paint, and you're not very good at quick scoping mate. You missed five times before I shot you with my Spas. Perhaps you could play something else, if people wouldn't laugh at you on there for being such a CoD fanboy.

Trash talkers. I got twice your KD, look at the board. You contributed two kills to your team, you are not what made them win, shut up.

Employment. I'm a smart guy. Adept at maths, did my GCSE a year early, can keep myself occupied and organised...but no, I'm not good enough to work in your corner shop. I need to have worked in another one first? How does that work when every job asks you to have already worked, it's complete BS.

I can't be bothered to state all the things that annoy me so let's just look at the one that most frequently annoys me:

People who use 'got' in place of 'have', saying such phrases as "I don't got". It's so gramatically incorrect and it sounds so bad. Or even just "I got" in place of "I have". It's a different meaning, people.

Oh yeah...

People who criticise something when they haven't even tried/played it.
Modern Warfare 2
People who taunt me because of my addiction to Shawnee
People who take the mick out of Shawnee
People who think I'm a girl because of my avatar and sig of Shawnee -.-.
People who steal my friends and butt into conversations
People who brag on about religion and all that. As much as I'm interested in people's beliefs, I hate them trying to convert me over, I'm agnostic (unsure about God) and that's that.
Justin Bieber, what a girly poof. I can sing better than that 2 year-old, me and him, he'll sing his gay 'Baby' crap while I'll sing mOBSCENE. 81TC43.
Terrible covers *cough* Alexandra Burke *cough*.
Sex noises and lyrics in songs, I want to listen to it with my family around sometimes, not having the sound of someone being taken in the background, cheers.
Posh people.
The Abbey Road fanaticism, my dad and I go to London on Wednesdays for work and drive past it, bloody hell it's like a crime scene.
The Go Compare turd, I want to kill him, brutally.
Rolling Stones fanaticism, I can't see the popularity of them.
Eminem's rapping, it kills all of his songs.
N-Dubz, the Dappy guy really must be a dappy git, he's a nob.
Stores where they don't sell Relentless when I want it, I WANT MY RELENTLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trash talkers.
Hackers.
Low quality music, pictures or videos, I am so OCD to have every media file top quality as possible (that's why I always have to tweak the settings for my GPU when watching SAW or another film).
Apple. One of the worst companies ever, they wanted £105 to repair my iPod Touch 2G 16GB. The bloody thing costed £160, what's the point?
iPad, it's the dumbest and ugliest thing I've seen after Justin Bieber.
Patriotism.
Keyboards with no media buttons, my old wireless keyboard had controls on it to skip songs on Media Player etc., but my Cyborg V.5 doesn't .
The new PlayStation 3's not supporting backward compatibility for PS2 and PS1 games. well done Sony, you definitely killed your brand there.

-SSG

TO ALL: I'm not a girl. I'm a boy with an addiction to Shawnee Smith. Ok?

[x] Hypocrisy.
[x] Pretentiousness, in all its forms.

I could make an extensive list of specifically everything I hate, but they would all have their root in these two things.

Maybe he's just Straight Edge?

It's compatibile with PS1 and suprisingly it wasn't a popular feature. Altrough I'm pretty annoyed with the thing myself, too...

Also:
Probably true jailbreak of PS3... :/

- The baffling conclusion drawn by the many that the so-called "naughty bits" (penises and arses and things like that, for those needing reminding, ho ho!) are scientifically proven to be THE MOST OFFENSIVE THINGS IN EXISTENCE OH CHRIST D: D: D:

- The assumption that venting irritation in just such a thread as this is a bad thing. Experience shows bottling it up is much healthier!

- Trying to beat Akasha in UT3. Oh ho! Gamer humour! Hahaha.

- Gamer humour.

- Programming jokes as well.

- YOU... Geoffrey ._.

- Repetition of the wrongggggggg letter in a worddddddd to display emphasisssssss. Makes for particularly grating reading.

- "Should of", "there/their/they're", and all that sort of dirty monkey business.

I thought you were a Marilyn Manson fan? I'm sure you haven't heard the track called '**** Frankie'. It's full of it.

Here here, I can't think of a better use for a shotgun.

Whilst we all make mistakes in our grammar, be it because of dialect or simple errors, it hurts me ears (or my eyes), when the simplest grammar rules are consistently broken. I actually jumped in excitement when I went to a shop that had a till with the sign '10 items or fewer'. 'Less' suggest mass, 'fewer' suggests quantity. I am a sad git, I know.

Ringing up a mobile phone to be put through to voicemail. Every time I think to myself, 'Great, so I've just paid the cost of the call NOT to speak to someone. No, I DON'T want to leave a message, if I did I'd have sent a text.'
