when chicks cut themselves... cuz it "takes the pain away" (not trying to offend any one in here who might do that)

I hate getting interrupted more than anything. I will start to say something, and usually someone will cut me off. Either to finish my sentence for me, with something I didn't mean, or they will just go into a whole new conversation so if I try to continue the track I was on it would be stupid.

I hate cold french fries.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Hell yes. Especially when I'm venting, and then someone interrupts me, talking about something way offtopic. And then, when I decide to shut up and forget it, they ask me why I stopped talking.

I hate being ignored. Sometimes it's like people don't even notice me. I used to have a major problem with the way people would walk at me, like I wasn't there. It used to happen to me alot. Not so much anymore, plus I need to consider the fact that this usually only happens at school when things are somewhat crowded anyway.

Let's see..

Ignorance. Nothing bugs me more than going to school with idiots who refuse to learn, disrespect some good teachers, then sit there and try to get sympathy from me when they have Ds (if they are lucky.)

Drug Abuse. Abuse, not use. I know a lot of people who use drugs, but can still keep up with a conversation. Some of the more intelligent people I know use drugs. But I hate people who have used them so much that they are just stupid.

Racism. Even in joking, it is something that is really uncool.

Sexism. See above.

Worthless Teachers. My geometry teacher this year is, without exageration, one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She doesn't teach us. Half of the class is doing terribly, the other half is doing decently.

Strangers who jump into conversations. I think we all hate this. Nothing worse than someone I don't even know jumping into my conversation because they happened to overhear a game title. It makes me want to stab.

I HATE undisciplined children! I got so many things... the wooden spoon... shoes... belts... and I am damn glad I got it. Whipped me into shape. I was not severely beaten, just enough to get the message in my head.

ALSO Stupid little bastard children and their stupid jackass blinded parents... I have stories.... and I used to love kids.... but some children... should... be hurt... badly...

Siblings who think that being the "2nd child is ever so hard", and the 1st is a piece of cake... yah... right...

People who work at any chain restaurant... like tim hortons... mcdonalds, ANYTHING... and do not give you a decent meal cause THEY hate their job, even though I pay for it! The mayo doesnt go on the foil.. it goes in the sandwich.....

Ignorance is NOT bliss for the person who has to hear it dammit!

Rude people who just dont have to be jerks.

BAD DRIVERS. If the light turns green, please move your ass... don't just stay still, especially from the hours of 7am-8pm... honestly people... get a clue. ALSO when the speed limit says 50 kph... that doesnt mean 30... it means 50!!!!!!

People who don't take care of their cars... why?!? A little cleaning here and there... oil changes.... steering fluid... getting the disgusting green fry from under the seat

Over excessive drinkers and smokers. Smokers out there, really, cry me a frickin river for your smoking habits, do it someplace where I cannot smell it. Smoke happens to make me feel sick, makes my eyes water, tightens my throat... and the smell gives me a huge headache. So really, when the sign says "Non-smoking" don't try to smoke you ass, I will tell you to stop. ALSO! "Let me drink until I am drunk" mentallity annoys me to death... "OH look i threw up 50 times today, i am so cool" ... no, you are not. On the contrary both these nasty habits ruin your digestive and respiratory systems, which obviously excludes the brain damage... and other things that happen.

*inhales deeply*

I also hate fat people who think they are skinny too. There SHOULD be a weight limit on clothing. IF your waist size is 40, dont try to squeeze into a 35!!!!

Sluts---> You look great in your cheap black hooker pants and black halter... but when you bend over ever so cheaply... I would appreciate NOT seeing you're neon orange thong half way up your back.

Holy shit... there is so much more... I am very irritable...

Oh wow Parcelan... I so needed to vent... I love this thread!

I'm generally pretty easy-going, though.

I'm going to try to keep my cool here. I don't know if I'll succeed.

-Needles. I know they're just tiny little pokey pieces of metal, but damnit... They scare the shit outta me.

-People who try to take away my fear of needles by saying what I said above. Yes, I KNOW they're just little pieces of metal, that doesn't make them any less scary.

-Same as above two, only with spiders. Eight-legged bastards. Plus, people are always saying, "oh those little guys are more afraid of you than you are of them". If those little guys were more afraid of me than I were of them, they'd feckin' die of fear.

-Very high heights. If you happen to fall off a very tall building, there's nothing you can do to stop your death. To do so, you would need to defy physics. Not only that, but you're forced to watch every damn microsecond of your fall. Fortunately, many people share my fear and respond with a "yeah, I know". Makes it seem a little smaller when I know I'm not alone.

-Bad English grammar from people whose native language is English. In ANY form, written paper, Internet, whatever. I don't care if you're on a chatroom, saying "im goin 2 giv ur livar suhc a punchn" is NOT ACCEPTABLE. The exception here is the little, honest mistakes everyone makes. Those are okay by me, because, hey, I make them too.

-People who bitch about their low grades. I know people have said this before, but this is something that REALLY PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF. (Oh shit, here I go.) They come up to me, like I'm supposed to wave my fucking hand and solve ALL THE WORLD'S GODDAMN PROBLEMS, and complain that "Oh no, I got a 35 in my Pre-Cal! I'm not going to pass this grade!"

Now, if the person got a crappy teacher, or perhaps Pre-Cal was simply too advanced for them (sorry about that, that's the best choice of words I have at the moment), they honestly worked damn hard and still couldn't get it... Then, and ONLY THEN will I feel sympathy for them. But if Pre-Cal was too hard for them, maybe they should've entered Applied instead.

However, the VAST majority of those FUCKERS didn't do a SINGLE GODDAMN QUESTION FOR HOMEWORK. I ask them approximately how much homework they do a night, and the answer is usually somewhere along the lines of, "Uh... Uhm... Duh, half an hour a week?" GUESS WHAT, FUCKTARD! IF YOU PUT NO EFFORT INTO A COURSE, YOU GET NOTHING OUT OF IT!! THIS CAN'T BE THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND, CAN IT?! It takes EVERY GODDAMN OUNCE OF MY WILLPOWER to resist grabbing them BY THE THROAT and saying something along the lines of, "Look here, you little SHIT!! I got eighty-five percent in Pre-Cal because I worked damn hard for it. I completed ALL the homework, stayed up DAMN LATE studying for the final exam, WHICH YOU FAILED MISERABLY YOU STUPID SHIT, and am SEVERELY LACKING SLEEP BECAUSE OF THAT. If you wanna cruise through the course, do BUTT-FUCK NOTHING, that's your decision. However, do NOT COME CRYING TO ME WHEN YOU GET FUCKING LOUSY MARKS BECAUSE OF YOUR SLOTH AND IGNORANCE WHILE I HAD TO WORK DAMN HARD FOR WHAT I GOT!! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT TO WHINE!! YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF!! Understand?"

I'm sorry for all of the swears in that, it's just something that really pisses me off. It's happened to me since Grade 1. I get high marks, so everyone thinks I'm some kind of boy genius or something. WRONG-O. I do the homework, and actually take the time to try to understand what I learn. They could do it too, but they refuse. Lazy-ass bastards.

-People who I don't know talking to me like we've been friends forever. Um, yeah, nice to meet you, but... Who are you again? Here, I have an idea. Let's start from the beginning. Hi, my name is Jon.

-People who use 'fuck' without good reason. In a big, yelling, shouting rant, 'fuck' can add emotion when used right. However, it should not generally be used casually. "Fuck man, I fuckin' pwned fuckin' Heroic difficulty on HALO. Fuck yeah, man." Sorry, but that's out.

-People who expect me to know nothing because I'm still a kid. I know a lot more than quite a few adults at this point, but no, I'm just a kid. I won't know anything until I'm about twenty-three or so. Then, all of this knowledge will magically pop into my head. Wow! I'm 17 years old, btw.

That's about it for now.

Oh goodness, there is nothing wrong with dressing up/down for hallowe'en. I mean every day sluts. I wore a corset to the U during my classes last hallowe'en... can anyone say SEXY? Course I was wearing a knee length skirt, with pretty fishnets not the ugly super big holed ones, the discrete fishnet thingies. I sure know a lot of people who did... This hallowe'en I was a pimp... WORD. Hallowe'en is all about exploring new looks without being critisized by them, I see it as an opportunity (That and of course, stealing candy from my little brother)

i.e. My friend amanda refusing to get a ride to the bus station because she "thought that if I met her friend Heather that I'd kill her or something (Because she's starting to date my recent ex)" and then I find out the only reason she didn't want a ride was because HE was going with her to the bus station.

GODDAMNIT, If I offer a ride, at least have the GODDAMN decency to tell me the REAL reason why.

- Owners of small dogs who refuse to train said dog and then get pissed about why that bigger dog wants to come over and play/defend it's owner from said small dog. (There is no excuse for any size dog not to have basic training.)

- Americans stationed in Europe who refuse to shop off base because "it's too scary." (Why'd they come here, then?)

- Not having closets in my (European) house.

- Allowing people to renew their driver's license without requiring the retaking of the written test and, in some cases, the driving test. This doesn't just apply to older people.

- Not knowing how to cook, having been brought up on Hamburger Helper as a child.

- Restaurants that allow smoking.

EDIT: Missed one peeve

- Fashion designers who insist on making clothes without regard for our body type. What I mean is that the clothes are, incorrectly, the focal point without regard for the wearer's personality or body type. IMO, the clothes should enhance the wearer, not be a billboard for the designer.
