Things that really piss you off

bytor

I think it was Remus who touched on the subject of teenagers a while back. My favorite "things that piss me off" pertain to that catagory, even though I have 4 of them in my house right now Mine are not permited to do any of these of course.

The underwear showing with pants way too big and hanging to the mid upper thigh - I only want to see exposed underwear on Victoria's Secret models......

The complete lack of manners / etiquite (sp?) in public situations. I don't care to listen to their loud cell phone conversations with their best friend about whatever trivial thing happened to the friend at the mall earlier today - and what social consequences it might have on society.

The complete lack of please / thank you / excuse me in their vocabularies.

I could go on forever.................but I won't.

When waiting in line at fast food place, and when the person in front of you reaches the register THEN decides to look at the menu to decide what they want.

or

While waiting in the check-out line, the person at the cashier is overly social, even after they've paid.

WIndows photo gallery- specifically "sorry, you cant edit this photo because its the wrong format" its a PNG for gods sake, its hardly an outlandish proprietary format from a company working in a cave. Id guess its probably the second most widely used format and yet they dont think its neccesary to support it (unlike every other piece of software under the sun.)

2)exams: its getting to the stage where we dont learn for the sake of learning and self betterment, we learn to pass exams. Seems like its the wrong way to do things really.

You should move to Helsinki:
Say "Good morning" to a bus driver (or cashier, you name it), and you get the "What's so good about it?" scowl. You sit on a bench in a bus and the person sitting between you and the window starts to squirm like from an itch, without saying anything. This means "I would like to get off at the next stop, please".
All this pisses me off, even as I consider myself quite a typical Finn too...

Stinkie

lol. Sounds a lot like Antwerp (Belgium). Moved there 1,5 years ago. Say "thank you" to a cashier, and he/she merely gives you a blank "whatever" look. lol. Oh, I hate that city.

igor

well excuse me, you teenager haters! i happen to wear pants at a normal hight, have good personal hygene (shower every morning, brush teeth consistently, ect), and have acceptable manners. and stinky, i have no idea where the "proper dutch" comment came from, but im somewhat fluent in spanish.

what pisses me off: people that hate teenagers just because they're between the ages of 13 and 19. look past the streotypes, guys!

oh, and its been calculated that a toyota prius uses about 1000 gallons of gas before it even leaves the dealer! thats because of the fule needed to make the battery. and, if compared to a car that gets a respectable 35 miles per gallon, the toyota would have to drive 100,000 miles more in order to make up for the 1000 gallon deficit.

PWND TOYOTA! ("pwnd" is teenager speak for "completely and utterly beaten", its pronounced "P-oh-nd", just incase you didnt know)

Know-it-all teenagers

Spending ages trying to work out something really, mind-numbingly-in-your-face obvious.

Prime example: i was trying to work out why i couldnt texture this cube, i was at it for a good half an hour gettign incraesingly pissed off to the point where i had to go and do something else. Came back and realised i was in 'monochrome'

another thing that pisses me off: (and i know solo has alreay said this) President Bush

and i really wish everyone would stop compltely freaking out about global warming! i mean jeez! worrying about it is only going to make it worse! why dont we all just calm down and accept that this might be a natrual fluctuation in the earth's tempature. and if thats not the case, take a chill pill and hop on your bike and get some CFLs for gods sake!

And that is exactly what George Bush wants you to do, just act like nothing is happening and drive an SUV everywhere, because we're in a war so you can have plenty of oil, so don't cut down! Whether it's a natural fluctuation or not we are contributing to it and denying that is really pissing me off.

agree.. recent studies have shown that human worry leads to increased CO2 emission due to heavy breathing/increased heart rate... everyone needs to relax in order for antarctica and greenland to refreeze..

How could it not be true!

Peter, of course it's raining, it's a bank holiday. It's traditional.

What's a bank holiday anyway? Are people forgiven their debts? You seem to be having a holiday too, are you all bankers? (ok, should look it up)

It's likre a traditional day off for everyone. Im not sure why it's their, it just is

Daniel

When contemporary buildings from the 60s and 70s (or earlier) are torn down or renovated for crappy traditional style buildings (see next rant).

When architects design what are supposed to be "traditional" style buildings, but they get it wrong. With all the information out there, it's like misspelling your own name - it's just wrong!

Beige E.I.F.S. Neither the material or the color is bad in itself, but it's used way too much. What's worse is when the building's entire color scheme is beige. BORING.
