When people drive halfway up my ass even though I'm already doing 10-15 over the limit in the right or only lane

I don't slam on the brakes because that's super retarded road rage shit, but I do let off on the accelerator and really, really slow down. I might even start going under the speed limit.
 
People labeling certain bands a particular genre when it's not. Like labeling Marilyn Manson as Goth when he isn't goth rock or labeling Twenty one Pilots as Emo when they're not emotive hardcore. Emo is a genre from the 1980's DC scene while Goth is a genre from the late 1970's from the Batcave around the United Kingdom. I can have a discussion on what's considered Emo or Goth and what's not, but I'll tell you that Emo and Goth are completely different, but they do have 4 things in common: 1. Both have been bastardised by the media 2. They're both about the music, and not about any fashion (unlike Scene and Lolita) 3. They're both branched off from Punk Rock 4. Lot of elitists and poseurs in those two music scenes.

Another thing that gets me mad is when people try to make one particular aspect (or probably not even what they are) as their whole entire personality. Like somebody can make being cynical their personality, but no one really cares about you being negative. Other things people can make their personality is having a disability, being LGBT, being a war veteran, trying something like marijuana or khat once and brag about it, being a bodybuilder, etc. It just gets irritating at times, and I usually walk away, shake my head, and roll my eyes. It really gets old when that's the only thing they talk about.
 
People who insist on installing these fucking things in places full of old people who don't understand how they work, who don't understand people, and who don't understand that old people don't just suddenly fucking adapt to their European bullshit because they just decide rural areas with no traffic issues suddenly need these fucking things.

Fuck rotaries and get off my lawn you goddamn kids.

Ok, cool ... so you live in Long Beach and go out of town on the weekend ....

I don't slam on the brakes because that's super exceptional road rage shit, but I do let off on the accelerator and really, really slow down. I might even start going under the speed limit.

So YOU were the guy ...

Either you live in Long Beach, or you should.

(Joke), but in all seriousness, driving in LB would test the patience of anybody.

Got a few more, they're all related to driving

Roundabouts because nobody fucking knows how to use them and they only work in cities where a small percentage of the population has cars and not Merica where everybody has 3.

2 lane highways. there slow, they back up quickly, there just satan incarnate

people who take up multiple lanes when they have an accident. up north everyone understands that if you get into an accident you pull over to the side of the highway not turn your car to take up as many lanes as possible. I get if your dead or if your car can't move but the amount of times a fucking sideswipe has taken up three of a four-lane highway drives me mad.
 
People who can't be bothered to bag their own groceries as they're being scanned and instead wait for the cashier to bag their entire month's worth of shopping for them as they stand around doing fuck all.

Are these the same people who when at the hospital, prefer to piss and shit on a Chux pad, and call the nurse to clean it, rather than get their lazy ass up to use the toilet?

As far as I am concerned, unless you are paralyzed, cathaterized, braindead or deceased, you need to get your ass up and empty your own bladder.

And bag your own damn groceries. Seriously people.

Don't be the able-bodies assholes who create work for others, and waste time and resources in the process.

I usually do this because it pisses me off to watch some goofball putting a gallon of milk on top of my eggs and other dumb shit they'll do if I don't take it over myself.
 
Funko Pops.
What a fucking waste of plastic.

To add to this: People who collect Funko Pops. I don't get it. They're ugly and a shelf full with them looks so horrendously cluttered. It's like some people try to fill the void in their heart with ugly shaped plastic waste.
 
What pisses me off is when I'm distracted, angry or upset near lunchtime so it overrides my hunger, but I know if I don't force some food down my gullet I'll be hangry for the rest of the day.
 
People who talk about using nukes. Why doom the rest of us to a long-lasting nuclear winter just to kill a couple of people? Ninja Missiles are better at that.

Another one is people who are war crazy. War is only good defensively or when you are conquering new lands. Sending off your smartest people to die will cripple the country.
 
People who think it's a good idea to post about their drug use online. Especially on Facebook. Only people who want to know about your heroin use are the cops and doctors.

Just remembered another one. People who leave their dogs chained up outside with little to no food, water, and shelter. It's even worse when this is done in the winter. It common for the people doing this(in my area anyway) to have a toy breed who lives comfortably in their house while the larger dog is freezing outside in a blizzard.

Makes me almost hate toy breeds. Motherfuckers are getting pampered while a beagle is being neglected in near arctic weather.

If anyone calls the dog warden on these people, they "improve" the conditions. In reality, it's just to keep everyone off their case. After awhile, meager improvements get taken down.

People who barge their way into the subway while others are still trying to exit, resulting in congestion.

My 'favorite' is when they do it so aggressively that they pretty much cause a gridlock, and then just stubbornly stand there in the subway's entrance area, showing no signs of self-awareness or guilt while the passengers who want to exit attempt to politely squeeze their way around them.

(Most commonly, it seems to be women over 50 who do this. What's up with that?)
 
people who floor their cars all the time or brake too harshly
I take public transit to work every shift, and I can tell you that the bus drivers, especially the older ones, love to hit the brakes to the point of near-whiplash. And everyone I've talked to share the same sentiment.

Hell, public transit in general pisses me off because of all the factors that go into it and how one thing can just cause everything to go to shit instantly. From traffic to the driver themselves.
 
When you try to defrag your hard drive only to not be able to, because your not the administrator even though you are, and nothing seems to fix it, meaning you've just spent all that time for nothing.
 
People that blast rap or early 2000's rock (Breaking Benjamin and the like) loud as fuck early in the morning are real fucking villains and deserve a car crash for their insolence.

Anyone that brags about their drug use on social media are attention parasites lower than any other. No one cares you just ripped a sick bong hit, Chelsea, get a job.

Protesters, fuck these traffic causing cunts. Go pretend to save the planet on the sidewalk while leaving your garbage behind after you leave. Most people aren't trust fund brats like you twats.

People who still xD in 2020
 
It doesn't piss me off, I would call it a pet peeve. Language shit like typing "should of went" instead of "should've gone to..." although I realize at the rate twitter is degrading the english language altogether I don't expect them to be a problem for long.

Youtube comment philosophy of repeating the same catchphrase over and over. Examples:
"Nobdy. Not a soul. Absolutely no one:"
"Last time I came this early *insert witty comment*"
"Who's watching this in 20XX?"
"Anyone else came from *insert irrelevant website*"
"something something is cancer, something something is autistic, something something savage"

I wish people blasted early 2000's rock instead of slow-tempo mumble shit *sigh*
