So some fool I don't know comes banging on my door and ringing the doorbell over and over again until I finally get to the door. Do people really think you live next to your door hoping and wishing someone will knock so you can answer it immediately?

I opened the door and told him straight out "if you ring that doorbell one more time like that, you will draw back a fucking nub. Now go get some home training so next time you will approach my home with some ackrite"

then this fucker was blocking my driveway when I'm supposed to be leaving to get the kid from day care.....

the word swagger, and anybody who thinks they have it.

When people who don't want to exchange xmas gifts use the excuse "well, I know you just had that big bill."

1) Get out of my pocketbook. How do you know what I can and can't afford?
and 2) If you don't want to exchange gifts, just say it. Don't put the shit on me.

YES!!!!

For me, it's wet towels. My dad and his lady friend do this every day. I have to touch the wetness and move them to the hamper. They both just grab a towel, use it, don't hang it up. We've got like three huge racks in the house. I have a small one. And even MY towels get used. I almost feel compelled to write a note saying "Hey, I washed my feet with this. Use if you want!" Who wants to wash their body with a towel I've used downstairs?

Then, there's coffee packets left about. My dad does this. He makes the coffee, leaves the packet. Makes some more coffee, leaves the packet. I can't really yell at him for that, seeing as he's kind enough to still be doing some things for me at my old age.

Other than that, it's kinda hard to annoy me. I'm too busy thinking about relaxing or writing to have any real pet peeves.

Any adult using the word "hater".

...people that are loud.

Last night, a bunch of English guys out on the Gulliver's balcony venting their disgust towards ladyboys while a transexual sat right next to them. Stoopid farangs!

Fauxie said:

why do people travel to other countries, if they can't respect the people in said countries.

i think people should just stay home, if they can't respect their fellow human race.

what's a farang?

Dumb fuckers.

They probably sing a different tune individually and behind closed doors. You know when folk have to make a lot of noise about some shit something's probably up.

baroque said:

Right.

'farang' is a term for white westerners.

as above...loud people...I had this one guy I work with talk about how much he doesn't like gay people...every day he has gay jokes. He acts too macho and he's very annoying.

johnart said:

Definitely possible. One guy was telling me about someone he'd met there inviting him to go on some trip to stay somewhere and get a room with some ladyboys. He went over the story several times and kept emphasizing his disgust at the idea and how the guy wouldn't stop hassling him about it. Methinks the farang doth protest too much!

Fauxie said:

would they have one for non white westerners..kinda like one for latino people
and is it bad kinda like the japanese version of the word gaijan(foreigner)
or like mexican version which is not that bad(gringo)

also i guess when people are insensitive to others.

people who need to get into your personal space when talking to you.

strangers or people I hardly know telling me dirty stuff.

bratty kids

baroque said:

Can be bad, in certain contexts and depending on intent, but it's not massively offensive. We've (Imago and I) been into all the nuances of it in P&R a couple of times.

As for non-white westerners, Thais usually use 'khon dum' (black person) or negro.

McDonald's employees!

why do I have to check my bag every single time? but guaranteed, no napkins, wrong food, missing food....every single time!

so then don't complain about your minimum wage job, sweetie!!

(although shout out to the nice employee who gave me a free drink the other day! I think I had napkins too!! )

baroque said:

ditto.

people that spit loud.

people that curse a lot.

rude people.

people that don't smile when you smile at them.

people that make you feel dumb

people that like to start arguments.

people that look down on others.

people that pick their nose in public

racists that believe what they believe in is right or makes sense.

Imma need specifics!

Like when I drive to the day care, I have to pull into the turning lane to make a left. Why are people coming toward me in the opposite side to make their left getting into the turning lane a mile before the actual turn and then have to come out because I'm in the lane waiting to turn into the day care parking lot. And the actual spot to turn is about 25 feet past where I'm at. I keep waiting for the dumb fool who's gonna front-end and kill me with this stupidity.

people who chew with their mouth open..
ESPECIALLY adults..
and people who slurp their drinks and /or soups
wtf?

Stop hating.

My most recent peeve....standing in line at a grocery store & the stupid bit$# behind me is 4 inches from my neck... I turn around & give her the "look"...she continues to "brush up" against me with her purse & her HUGE down filled coat....

So again i give her an even nastier LOOK...bit%$ is too dumb to notice b/c im sure in her inbred redneck mind..she thinks this is ok to do.....

BIT%$...GET THE FU%$ OUTTA MY SPACE!!!!

sonic said:

when that happens i tell them..
excuse me,but if you don't mind..i need my room..thanks.

a 'lady' (i'll use the term loosely here) drove her cart into my hip and hand as i was standing in a store..
not only did this said person NOT say sorry or anything..
she continued to push the cart into me like she was using it to push me out of the way..
i turned to face her ..and just stood there..with the cart against my legs..and it wasn't like there wasn't room to go around me..but hell if i was gonna move for her over rude ass!!
she gave up after about 45 seconds..
yes..
it took her that long..

Failing to signal lane changes and turns.
You appreciate people doing it for you, why can't you give the rest of us the same respect and courtesy?

Vendetta1 said:

What's a good analog?

Fauxie said:

if that's pronounced 'condom' then I find that shit insanely funny...

People who don't clean up after themselves.
