bee_yorkHere's my list of things I hate, as promised. It's numered for clarity, but is honestly is no particular order whatsoever.
1-lolcat speak
2-when people quote themselves
3-people who are overly PC
4-people who make out on the metro, bus, etc.
5-people who stand still in the walking lane of the escalator
6-99.9% of the people who work for the STM
7-people who bike on the sidewalk
8-extreme vegan hippies
9-extreme 'carnivores' (they don't exist, only omnivores, but generally these people are too fucking stupid to realize no human being can survive as a carnivore)
10-people with no sense of humour
11-French people who refuse to speak English
12-English people who refuse to speak French
13-people who make the joke "it's free!" whenever something doesn't scan at the cash
14-shitty customers
15-bad service
16-people who have never worked a day of retail in their life who think they know what they're talking about when they bitch about bad service (99 times out of 100, their complaints are unfounded, in which case see #14)
17-anyone who participates in those fucking bra colour/where you like your purse/mindfuck status update games on Facebook
18-when smokers smoke in my face
19-when non-smokers make a HUGE FUCKING DEAL about someone smoking something 20 feet away in a place said complainer doesn't even HAVE to be in
20-people who think it's OK to joke about some things, but not others
21-people who can't pick up on sarcasm/joking
22-people who think Montreal is OMG THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH AND THERE IS NOTHNG WRONG WITH IT EVER AT ALL AND HOW DARE YOU SAY ONE NEGATIVE THING ABOUT OMG THIS PLACE IS PERRRFECCCCCCT
23-when Montrealers claim to genuinely hate Toronto (this does not apply to people who actually lived in Toronto & have an actual reason to dislike it, nor does it apply to people who enjoy engaging in the MTL/Toronto rivalry just for fun)
24-the sound of cheap, sitty shoes on pavement
25-people who choose stylish boots over convenient boots in Montreal winters. Except I kind of like it because I get to feel smug & superior as I march right on by these dumb fucks who are stuggling just to get out of their cars
26-when people post about their diets, how much they worked out, etc.
27-when people post conversations they had with their s/o cuz they think they're soooo cute & clever CONSTANTLY
28-people who think being effiminate somehow makes you 'less of a man' or is inherently negative in some way
29-special snowflakes
30-anyone who is genuinely annoyed by this list (see #10)
Feel free to add your own.

Date: 2011-11-08 02:43 am (UTC)It refers to someone who tries to be different for the sake of being ~different~, or even just someone who thinks they're somehow more unique than everyone else. I'm trying to think of some concrete examples tho, it would better illustrate my point, I think.

no subject
Date: 2011-11-08 03:53 pm (UTC)I'd add "people who listen to you and then latch on to that one thing you said that they can vaguely relate to and then make the entire conversation about themselves".
And I'd probably add people who think they're cool because they're doing something ironically.
ps Gaelan and I totally used to make out on the metro but I think it's forgivable because I was only 19 at the time.

Date: 2011-11-08 03:59 pm (UTC)You know, that never crossed my mind, but I agree! People who talk constantly about themselves are fucking annoying as hell. I usually tune them out after awhile, lol
Actually, come to think of it, this goes very well with a couple of other types I referenced on my list--people who quote themselves or constantly post conversations between them and their s/o. Ughghghghghg. Vain people suck, period!

Hahah well 19 is still young-ish. When people in their late 20s and 30s are doing it though....ughhhh what is UP with that?!

Date: 2011-11-08 04:38 pm (UTC)I could go on & on about this. It's SUCH a huge pet peeve of mine, one of the worst. I'm sure one day I'm actually going to snap at people who do this, and it's going to be awesome.

LMAOOO! I love the way you worded this! SO TRUE!!! XD

Date: 2011-11-10 01:22 pm (UTC)I think what I can add to the list is that horrible positivity movement. I saw it first in the corporate world with work but it's HUGE on the internet and particularly with bloggers. It's like you have to maintain PERFECTION all the time. Having a bad day, or complaining about something is seen has being oppressively negative and it is NOT ALLOWED. I can't stand people who can't just admit it's ok to have a sad feeling. Bad emotions are just as valid as positive ones. I've literally read posts about depression even when people talk like, "If you would just go out and look at the sky and feel the sun, you'd feel better."
UHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'm not saying being a chronic complainer is cool and there is definitely a point where you shouldn't feel bad ALL THE TIME and will alienate people- but right now there's such a movement to just ignore the bad stuff and keep up appearances, make sure you offend no one, be happy all the time. It's made me really uncomfortable.
Oh, and 26 really bothers me too. I think it's probably because it makes me feel less when I haven't done so much and that makes me defensive- but it drives me INSANE when people post non-stop about weight loss and exercise, particularly when they were healthy and lovely before and shouldn't feel the need to do that anyhow.
OH WAIT another thing- people who have never, ever had a "real" job. You know, when you have lots of bosses and clients and coworkers and an office- who try to school you on how "easy" work can be. It's like you do what you love, you are your own boss- it's not saying they don't work hard, but that is like most people's DREAM and OH HEY! Guess what. It is way, way easier than being a peon at a company doing shit you loathe. Similar to this, is the college student who doesn't have a clue getting on your case because you are struggling to find time to do stuff that matters to you. Really anyone who says, "I could do this it's easy." Why can't they get just because it's easy FOR THEM or they did it THIS WAY, that it's not the case for the whole world?

Date: 2011-11-10 04:53 pm (UTC)First off, this positivity movement? I've never heard of it before, but it sounds AWFUL. It's a BAD idea for many reasons, one MAJOR one being because people NEED to vent. We have bad moods whether we like them or not, and if we never ever vent, we would all seriously go insane.
Also, ranting is FUN. Not only does it feel good, but it can be very funny, and I can't even begin to list all the people who have made me laugh because of their awesome rants. That's actually one of the many things I love about Mike--the way he just gets grumpy and RANTS about things, like an adorable grumpy old man or something. <3
Plus...oh man, I hope this doesn't sound bitchy or whatever, and I apologize in advance if it does, but I've had quite a few people in my life tell me that they LOVE it when I rant, I wouldn't be as much fun if I didn't bitch the way I did, and they LOVE how I "tell it like it is". I've met random people on LJ that way too--I get PMs or comments by people who are like "Omg, you and your rants and your journal are awesome!", so clearly I'm not the only one who loves having bitch sessions. :) I think we all do, to some extent. It's normal, and to avoid it completely could only have disasterous consequences in the long run--or hell, even the short run.
I agree 110% that we don't--and certainly shouldn't--rant and complain all of the time, and someone who is CONSTANTLY in a bad mood is not fun to be around. Constant negativity is not a good thing by any means. But constant positivity is just as toxic!
Annnnnd holy crap at my TL;DR response! o____O;;

Date: 2011-11-11 05:43 pm (UTC)This movement won't last long, either way. These people will go insane sooner or later. There's no way they can keep up this fake image of themselves forever--a breakdown is on the way *for sure*, lol
