People that go up to your table in restaurants and start playing music which draws the entire restaurant to look at your table while you are eating. So fucking annoying those damn violin players.

Never had that happen, but if it did, I'd immediately start singing this, as loud as I possibly could.

People who walk around with headphones on, singing or rapping along loudly to the music that only they can hear.

I swear, every time I've ever ridden a bus or subway in Atlanta, I've had to put up with someone doing that shit the whole ride.

I don't understand how people can hate smokers and think they ruin public places.

When I smoke, I go outside, stand to the side away from everyone else, including doors and openings, and mind my own business. What the fuck did I do to you? You know who I hate? You and the shitty looks you give me, fool.

Yes, excuse me for not being a decent human being, because I enjoy smoking. I'm glad you hate me, because I want nothing to do with somebody like you anyway.

Fuck I hate that shit.
 
I've seen someone with low riding pants trip down stairs before, had no sympathy whatsoever. It's such a stupid trend.

Fuck I hate that shit.

Because:

A) Not everybody will go outside to smoke if they're not required to by law,

B) Even if they do go outside, many smokers will just stand right next to the door, requiring me to wade through their horrible shit cloud if I'm going in and out,

C) Even if they are away from the door, there's a chance I'll still have to wade through their horrible shit cloud, or that their horrible shit cloud will drift my way, and

D) Almost every smoker I have ever met has decided that throwing their cigarette on the ground when they're done and leaving it there is perfectly acceptable behavior.


If you don't want people to see you as a horrible disgusting smoker, maybe you should consider not smoking.

Let me guess, you're part of that 0.1% of smokers who carry their own ashtray instead of flicking their butt to the ground? And you'd never ash your cigarette near me on a windy day either would you?

The movies provides a lot of these people:
- people who bring young children to obviously inappropriate movies and distract you when they invitably leave 10 minutes into the movie - hey assholes, you do realize you brought your 6 year old to Grindhouse, right?

hehe, which reminds me there was an old couple (old, as a man and a woman in their 80s) sitting right behind me when i went to see Grindhouse. I have no idea what movie they thought they had come to watch, but you should have seen their faces after 5 minutes :D
 
Oh, I just remembered.

That trend where you walk around with your ass exposed, with your jeans real low... didn't that start in prison, and it meant you were someone's bitch?

giant robot beetles

how the fuck can I have a nice day at the park when there is a giant robot beetle rolling around and wrecking shit?
 
People who drive motorized vehicles. Seriously fuck off with your toxic fumes and your loud engines.
On top of that, yes why don't you ram the little girl on her bicycle with your steel piece of crap, even though you stopped at the crossing where she had the right of way only to hit the gas peddle as she was passing right in front of your!? wtf.

I was in Rome this past June for my honeymoon, and one of the things that stuck out to me was the amount of graffiti there was. People carving their names into places like Trevi Fountain and the Coliseum. I just don't get the point ruining things that are hundreds if not thousands of years old - it just makes you a douche.
I'd call that "certain tourists being douchebags" and not graffiti.

Talk to them very loudly, do it.

Do you want the beetleborgs to keep public places safe or would you rather get robbed?

I still don't understand what the problem is with sagging. As long as you don't see their asscrack, what's the problem? All you're looking at is another piece of cloth.

They're just jealous their boxers aren't as awesome.
 
couples that stand side by side on escalators. i mean holy shit.

actually, i'm just going to upgrade this to "people who stand on escalators" in general - it looks ridiculous.

I hate people that take up the whole escalator. If you are going to just stand, stand to the side. I use escalators as a way to climb to a new floor quickly. Same with those moving conveyor belt walkway things. They are not so you don't have to walk, they are so you can walk faster.
 
The people who stand on escalators won the war years ago. Those of us who walk up them are the exception (at least in my experience).

Yes, because some people do that, let's all generalize.

I appreciate being classified as disgusting though, despite the fact you'd never knew I smoked unless you seen me outside. I'm sure horrible.

Nevermind the other fact that almost every building has smoking trays outside to put out your cigarette instead of throwing it on the ground, or at least they do where I live.
 
People who pay with a check at the grocery store.
People who are more allergic to seeing cigarette smoke than inhaling it.
 
I have to admit that while I was pregnant, I was highly upset most of the smokers on my campus, because they would stand right outside doors and I would have to go through the smoke to get to my classes, and everything made me sick while I was pregnant.

But, right after I was pregnant, they banned smoking on my campus, just out of the blue, and I was one of the people who protested it. I don't think people should have to leave the campus to smoke. I just wish they'd show a little consideration.
 
soultron said:
No, I've been lucky enough to not get caught.

There are a lot of unwritten rules, yeah.

No private property. This includes peoples' houses, garage doors, fences, etc.
No small businesses unless commissioned.
No animals or trees. People have tried to make this into a trend before...
No historical monuments.
Don't write on another person's stuff. (Unless you can do better and the work is not commissioned.)

Those are some of the basics. They differ from place to place in small ways, but the moral is the same: don't be an ass.

I'm guessing Chicago doesn't care about this... always tagging on my pop's work. Usually it's initials/whatever but sometimes it's pictures
 
My summer job last year. You know the stereotype of the black woman who goes to the movies and does nothing but talk loudly the entire time leaving no quiet for the whole movie? Put that person into a busy office while I'm trying to work. Also she was one of those types who chews gum and has to snap it on every chew.
 
This feels a lot like the airing of grievances

-People who think that coming into contact with tobacco smoke will melt them
-People sneezing/coughing and not covering their face hole
-Sucking the food off their fingers after eating...I guess that replaces soap...
-People at buffets who wait until the crab leg tray is brought out and take it all to themselves!
-Hoarders

I can keep going, but truth is I can feel my blood pressure rising

I was in a bookstore recently where this obese guy had a shit stain on his ass...needless to say, he cleared out the isle
 
Ooh, I have one. People who bring their kids to class. Or people who eat in class... It's sort of the same thing, but instead of paying 10 bucks for a movie, I'm paying hundreds of bucks for an education. Pleasae be considerate and either A) Not bring your baby to class, because you are a horrible mother and can't find a babysitter, or you had a baby when you were 16. Even if it isn't your fault, it's still irresponsible to put other people's education in jeopardy or B) Bring your baby to class as long as you rip out it's vocal cords so it can't cry.

Thanks in advance annoying bitch with a baby in my Reading class. :/

Speaking of public places ruined, the guy/girl in front of class that asks a million questions and talks all the time during class ruins everything also. Please kindly shut the fuck up.

This too.

Ooh, Bluetools ruin public places too. Take your BT out of your ear once you exit the car and are in a building. Don't have it glued into your ear while you're in class or a movie or any other place that you are not driving. No reason to just be alking around with that in your ear shouting your conversation. Do not be a dick.

Really, anyone who does ANYTHING distracting in class gets under my skin. Facebooking and playing games in particular I find really distracting. I just try to sit up front now so I'm not dealing with people surfing the friggen net in class.

Eating doesn't bother me so much unless it's loud/crunchy, but I can see how it would irritate others. Bringing your kid(s) to class should NEVER be allowed.

They don't even have to carry an ashtray...what my wife does is put the butts between the shrink wrap and the cardboard on the outside of her cigarette boxes until she gets to a trash can. It isn't very hard.
 
Being distracted in class is a little petty. The people who bother you are making a detriment to their own education, its their prerogative to act in a facility they pay to be a part of. Up until the point where its becoming impossible for the professor to properly teach, or for students to fully learn, they can listen to ipods and play farmville all they want.

It's not like I (or anyone else) said they needed to be killed or thrown out. We said it was irritating. It's an opinion. If you get to play Farmville during class, I get to think you're a bit of a douche. That's the tradeoff.

And yet, cigarette butts still litter sidewalks and gutters. I wish the majority of smokers were more like your wife.

I'm sorry you didn't know this, but to a non-smoker it's very apparent that you smoke just from the smell. Unless you are brushing your teeth and washing your hands after every cigarette, your breath and hands (not to mention your clothing) carry the smell of smoking with you. I don't know if smokers can't notice this, but some non-smokers find it a very offensive odor. I'm sure others don't mind it any more than any other food or perfume odor, but you shouldn't continue to think "nobody can tell."
 
- Why take your children anywhere? Sometimes I get it, it was a quick run to Wal-mart or something else that didn't require a sitter. But under no circumstance did you need to bring your child to Inception, or any other movie I've seen where some people decide to bring their children to a movie completely unrelated to anything childish.

- People that actually ruin public spaces. Say for example a new bridge is built, outdoor art exhibit, ect. It cannot exist for more than a few hours before some asshole kid comes by and carves "fuk the police" or "Jack <3 Jenn!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or "Insert other stupid bullshit some kid thinks is important to write upon something here."

- If you smell bad, I seriously wonder how you cannot notice.

How old are we talking? There are plenty of kids maybe 10+ who would really enjoy a movie like Inception.

Hoarders from Red Flag Deals.

Canada-GAF knows what I'm talking about.
Next time I see one in Rogers, I swear to HELL that I am going to outright say,

"Hey, you don't fucking need that stack of 67+ games. Are you actually going to play all 15 copies of Bioshock 2 you have there?"

I'm an easy going guy, but as a gamer, nothing (see: nothing) actually infuriates me more than these sons of bitches.

I had a homeless man sit next to me on the BART. Actually, he took the outer seat, trapping me.

He was possessed of the worst body odor ever: Dirt and sweat and god knows what else. I had to get up and flee five seconds after he sat down.

Just that brief exposure made me quite nauseated and shaken. The only way that guy could have survived is if he was unable to smell himself or if he was simply immune to his odor.
 
People that have their cellphones constantly playing music. I experience this almost every time I go to Wal-Mart. Your shitty cellphone speakers do not make the music enjoyable, just tinny and annoying.
 
kids and babies

kids'n babies are an annoying breed, screaming and running around.
There should be a law against screaming and crying, massively enforced by special unites.
