I hate, hate, hatehatehateHATE it when guys randomly ask me out. 100% of the tiem it's guys I either outright loathe or guys I barely even know the names of, and then they laugh about it later, like aksing the weird chick out is teh fuckin' funniest thing ever. Not only would I never go out with someone I didn't know, and/or hated quite obviously, but the fact that they're treating it as a joke... really hurts, honestly. Not the best explanation, but I had it happen to me quite a few times. I am a complete and utter fucktard magnet for guys, it seems.
I never understood that about guys, either :/
Why do they think it's so amusing to go up to females and ask them out, receiving a weird look, and then walking away to laugh it off with their friends? What are we, some form of entertainment, asshat?
OOOOR when you're walking home from school and a car races on by and they beep at you, with some jackass cat-calling you. Seriously? Do you honestly think I'm impressed by your immaturity to scare the living daylights out of me when you beep your fucking horn? Good god, people, use your brains.
Then again, I kinda get their point of view. I admit that when a random guy comes up to me to randomly start chatting or say hello I give him a weird look, sometimes without realizing it. So it's a possibility that it's all just miscommunication, and the only way for them to get our attention is to act like a dumbass since they think just being formal offends us. In a way they can't win :/ Then again did they EVER? ;D

When people don't have the fucking balls to break up with someone personally. No, text, phone or BBM doesn't count. HAVE THE FUCKING DECENCY TO DO IT IN PERSON, YOU COWARDLY FUCK.

I don't know why this stereotype is actually believed Exactly, it's annoying when I say I'm a feminist that people assume I am a man hating psychotic lesbian (not that being a lesbian is bad) who feels women should get special treatment. I like men just as much as I like women and I feel we should be equal even in ways that mean women losing biased perks of their gender (favor in child custody for example).

When you are on a forum for a TV show and some posters cannot spell the main characters' names correctly (particularly TWoP). Like, Stephan on Vampire Diaries (Stefan) or Christina and Derrick on Grey's Anatomy (Cristina and Derek). What, do you think every single other member on the board is misspelling it and only you know the correct way? This to infinity and beyond. Well, for me it's mostly about videogame characters, but it's basically the same thing. If it's somebody named Xfigl'sytharoth, it's understandable, but when people keep misspelling simple names it makes me want to throw something at them through the internet.

And you don't even explain why, you just do that " I can't keep hurting you and i can't take it" bullshit. Even worse, when its just a standalone message, not even the decency of having a full conversation.

I basically had to break up with my ex via the internet because we lived so far away from each other, it would have been worse for both of us if I had traveled all that way to break up with him. If distance isn't an issue however then I think out of respect a person should break up with them in person, a standalone message breaking up with someone is never acceptable either (texts, emails, etc) even in long disatance relationships because it's cruel.

^ I hate that as well, when people can't spell first names. It's spelt Renée, you bloody fool, not Renae! I've noticed this only in Australia and New Zealand and it gets right on my nerves. The name is Primrose, not Primerose. Now everyone will think your kid's name is pronounced "prime-rose". Either go with an obscure name and spell it right or use a common name and spell it the ordinary way. Don't try and blend those elements together. It doesn't fucking work!

"Few people can do what you do". This mostly comes from family members in regards to my art... I like that they enjoy my work, but I do not feel deserving of such praise. Especially when there are people who do so much better than me. So every time I hear anything along those lines, I cringe a little and get annoyed. >_>

I once broke up with someone via text.
In my defense, the time I had last seen him I had tried to talk to him about the issues in our relationship, but he'd been very evasive about it. And he also said stuff about expecting me to break up with him.
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I hate when some site advertises itself as 100% FREE FOREVER. Then, you go there and anything that's worth any more than sand costs tons of real-life money. What the fuck. +Evony is the prime example of this. Just go to TVTropes' page for it, and don't sign up. It's pretty much spyware, anyway. That's why I quit playing some games on Facebook. It starts out free, but then anything worth having costs real money. And then slowly, surely, anything that you actually need to complete, or at least advance, in the game will cost you. ...Has she ever been around a guy? Like EVER? And if she has, is she wearing earplugs the whole time? XD

When you're listening to an awesome song and then BAMF, horrible secondary singer. Like, Abney Park, for example? His voice is delicious. I love his voice, and then that girl starts singing and its like...what the hell, man. Her voice is horrid.
Same thing with Kovenant. I know, seemingly everyone hates them, but I fucking love them until that godawful bad opera starts in.
Okay. I love opera. And I love Kovenant. But the two shouldn't mix. (Except for in that song "Mannequin", but that's just because its so awesome it can't fail).

I hate it when I have to repeat "Yeah, so..." a hundred times because the person I'm talking to keeps interrupting me, and by the time they shut up so I can actually say what I was going to, I can't say it anymore because it's irrelevant now.

I agree! It grinds my gears when that happens!
Related, I can't count how many times this has happened, where this conversation is going on amidst a few people, like say your friends or relatives or whatever, and I try to interject when I have something to say. And usually, I'm pretty enthusiastic to share what's on my mind about the topic!
But sometimes that doesn't work. They're either talking over me or are just too wrapped up to hear me. :< And then the conversation shifts and I just want to smack a book against my face.
It's unfair. :< *Pouts*
Sometimes when I state my opinion somewhere, and someone who disagrees immediately comes in to justify their opinion and how much the subject either sucks or is awesome. Um, yeah, I know you're just trying to point things out to me and all, but could you maybe keep it to yourself once and a while? More often than not, I don't try to spark debates.
Sometimes I just want to say what I want to say and be done with it. That's all.

Clear the way, I am getting on a soapbox.
First thing first: I don't like inflation. I think it's creepy, weird, gross, blahblahblah. It's easy enough for me to avoid, even though it's popular on deviantart: I can just scroll past a picture, or just not deviantwatch an inflation artist.
I also shamelessly browse a few kink memes. They're from entirely different, not-related-at-all fandoms, but they have one thing in common: There is a notorious troll that is horrid to the people requesting inflation.
Inflation requests don't come around often at all, but when they do, everybody but one or two people (that one person is usually the OP) will bash the living shit out of the requester and go on and on and ON about how inflation is disgusting and doesn't need to be on the internet and OP is a freaky sicko who should get their internet disconnected and blah blah blah.
Not only is it REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING, but it's also equally ridiculous. In a kink meme, EVERYTHING is allowed. EVERYTHING! It doesn't even have to have a kink! Hell, on the particular meme I'm browsing, it is mentioned in the head post, in BOLD, that every kink is allowed! Yet still, there are loads of people who are calling for an inflation ban, and there are a few who bash inflation even when it is not related to the kink!
Jesus Christ you guys. It's not even visual! Unlike deviantart, where you can scroll by it after you've seen it, this is BLACK TEXT ON A WHITE SCREEN! LET IT GO!
Even worse, general consensus is that the troll bashing the inflation poster is the very person who posted the request themselves, who is trolling to gain sympathy for inflation, which would be even more annoying, because that is not how you do yourself any favors.
I have been planning this in my head for days and I'm still fuming. >:I

When authors, fanfic or professional, try to justify a character's actions with a tragic past. This mostly happens with antagonists. Life does not work that way! An antagonist needs motives for his/her evil plans, not a tragic past! For a hero, it might work...so long as the hero has a heroic resolve. Not "I can't defeat Doctor Evil because my dad left home, mummy didn't love me and I was beaten by my uncle!" No, it means that the hero is doing his heroic deeds in order to try and prevent bad things from happening to other people. Say, for example, your hero was scarred by his time in the army. Wouldn't he try to prevent others from going through what he had to?
Mind, we do have a word for this; it's called shitty writing. So why is it used so much?!

When there's a road closure and people pretty much ignore all the letters from the council telling them.
It's the half-marathon today and I've just spent 20 minutes on the corner of my road handing out water to runners and our neighbours came up to me and asked if the bus stop was open!! I wouldn't think so seeing as this is a FUCKING MARATHON and people are running all day, the last people will probably come past about 2pm if previous years are anything to go by.
You know what, we started getting letters about the road closure in June, we had someone from the forum knock round last Saturday to make sure everyone knew and there are signs on lampposts. Am I meant to feel any sympathy that your day is ruined because you can't take the time to read a leaflet or a placard? Nah, I'm going to carry on helping these people running. It's funny cos their response was "I'm going to write to our MP" and I reckon he wouldn't recognise our constituency if he was shown a picture of it.
Also, Rock Week on the X-Factor. My hopes for this weren't high, I'll admit, usually they just do Kings of Leon and Bon Jovi, but Ke$ha is now apparently rock. Excuse me while I throw up. Also you've basically sung all these as pop songs apart from that annoying woman who sang Live and Let Die

RE: Road construction and stupid drivers. There's clearly a sign about a mile back that says "LEft Lane Closed Ahead", yet they all proceed to speed up so they can cut in the front cars way ahead of them. Fucking cunts. I don't know how many times I've almost been side swiped or front ended by these douchebags who don't think to merge early instead of going RIGHT UP TO THE CLOSURE and then squeeze their way into the traffic.
Or people who are at the very right lane where it's a right turn only area and then cut you off by speeding up and driving right in front of you when you're going straight. AAHHHHH!

Ouch! O.O I didn't think of that. Good point! Hmm, I can't recall if that's ever happened to me personally (unless I ever forgot) but I definitely see where you're coming from. That is just immature, really. Oh yeah, you have tons of people backing up your disagreeing opinion and ganging up on the one who dares oppose you, so you win! That's not how debates work! I'm no debating expert by any means, but even I know it's not a contest of that sort. Don't they know it's about presenting a good argument and having the right facts to back it up? Okay, a little more to add... ~Not having good video editing software. :< Stupid Windows Movie Maker...you can be such a bitch sometimes. ~Agreed on the "FIRST!" thing...and then sometimes when it would escalate to more than one, that's just annoying. ~Sleeping. I like to relax and be asleep, but I wish it weren't so necessary!!! DX There are plenty of things I could be doing, you know! Damn you, threat of sleep deprivation. ~"No offense, but..." Really? Well guess what? What you said was offensive! You can't use that whenever you're deliberately offensive. I know others have said this, so I agree. XD ~When my parents forget things I've shared with them before. I know that lack of memory about certain things are not their fault, I know, but I have to say that it gets very annoying to tell them certain things for the millionth time even though it should be common knowledge. (Like how my laptop will not work unless the battery is in place) At least they stopped with the "Not essential to my survival" excuse. PLEASE. Well that's funny, I distinctly recall that it's not essential to your survival that Criminal Minds is on at eight! -_-;;; Yeah, I actually said that to them and since then they didn't use that excuse. ~Enough with the stupid time limits, Megavideo.
