    1. Showing off stuffed shirts.
    2. Morons who think they're smart
    3. Leet spellers, especially those who think that leet is elite and are serious about that one
    4. Any kind of nasty things done to a language intentionally or through neglection, ignorance excepted
    5. Conformism - or desperate unconformism being in fact so hard a pression not to conform that submitting to it is a pure example of conformism
    6. People who think they need no reason
    7. People who think they need no reason, but think up mock reasons and want the world to believe in them
    8. Morons in charge
    9. Moronic bashing of any kind
    10. Completely average or low-level people who present their sorry musings as universal morality
    11. Here big number doesn't mean a low degree of annoyance: people with broken logics
    12. Teasers
    13. Including regulations typically touching private obligations into penal law
    14. Americans thinking they can judge anyone for anything done anywhere while their own citizens can only be judged in US no matter where the crime has been committed
    15. People summarising adversary's points in discussion in a way I tend to openly call lie and ask the bastards kindly to from now on quote me verbatim. Even more so people who just quote what they would expect/want me to say contrary to what I've really said.
    16. Watered down beer. Pub owners guilty of this crime should be whipped in public
    17. Also number 17 doesn't mean a low priority here: people deprived of manners and tactfulness
    18. People deprived of compassion
    19. Slash, especially in media
    20. Minorities demanding special protections and preferences placing them de facto in majority's conditions, completely breaking all principles of democracy they love to quote, here including reserving places in parliament for women most of all things or enforcing some minimal number of workers of a specified gender, race etc, also pression to include 'non-standard' options in a book or movie - if the author wants the characters to all be white heterosexual Christians let him the hell have them so and may the malcontents write a book themselves
    21. People who know better than I what I think, want to say etc.
    22. Mobbing of any kind. Feel free to flame me.
    23. Twisting and re-forming law to one's advantage over fellow citizens
    24. Monopolism
    25. Mental laziness
    26. Accusing without being ready to let the person defend himself
    27. Grammatically wrong use of 'they', 'them' etc in singular just of fear of sounding sexist
    28. Imposing extortionate prices and blocking/destroying competition instead of increasing the quality and actually applying some thinking to marketing strategy
    29. Cases similar to above 28 ones

    That's about it for now.

    1) All of the above with the exception of dumb computer games (don't care).
    2) People who get annoyed by things that don't affect them.
    3) People who ignore other's needs.
    4) Parents who are'nt prepared to care for their children properly.
    5) Having to deal with those children afterwards (nutcases the lot of them).
    6) I REALLY despise idiots (there's no upper limit to a specific human's intelligence, IQ is only learning ability)

    You know, when I look at some of the posts above, I have come to a conclusion:

    The people in SP get on each other's nerves quite a lot, when you take some point of views people have expressed and compare them....

    And yet we all get along and have a great community here.

    *hugs everyone*

    ( :p )

    I try not to hate people, but more as to accept them for the people they are..

    For I have also accepted myself, and if I canĀ“t accept myself, how can I ever accept you?

    Gosh, everyone has said all of the things I was going to say, so I won't repeat them over and over. But the one thing (well, two things that are related) that bug me more than anything else at all is people talking to me when it is obvious when I am trying to read. I don't mean important things like "What time is it" or "Your back is on fire", but things like "What is your favorite color" or "I like salami. Do you like salami?". Please people, if I didn't really want to read, I wouldn't be doing it.

    The other thing is people expecting me to drop whatever it is I am doing that instant so I can do something for them.
    "Honey? Can you take out the trash?"
    "Be right there!"
    "NOOOO! Do it right now! I want it done NOW!"

    That may be a little extreme, but you know what I mean.

    Me too.
    Chevalier: Can you please translate what you're saying. If i spoke Greek, someone from Germany German, someone from Italy Italian and so on no- one would understand what we're saying.

    Yes, that "Teenage Boys Thread".

    I've long since ceased to find that thread worth responding to. Tal decided that instead of closing it, he'd let it die on its own. I don't think I would have done the same thing in his place, but it's his decision and I respect it.
    However, that thread just won't go away. It still seems a place where everybody loves to fling s*** in all kinds of directions, including each other, and less and less of it related to the question that started the thread in the first place.
