People that enter a store and immediately stop as if they have been transported to an alternate reality. Normally there's like two or three of them and they scatter just enough to prevent comfortable passing. Standing there with their mouths agape....

I also hate the similar phenomenon, when you're walking down a store aisle, and a herd of fatties want to walk down an aisle shoulder-to-shoulder, at a snail's pace, barring anybody from being able to pass by them in either direction.

[imperfecz]

Or the fat mover carts that take up an entire aisle, sparks flying off the back as it moves at about 1.5 MPH. I think I have seen maybe 3 actual handicap people use those things since their appearance.

 

How about people trying to text and walk up stairs, and not doing either very well? You're stuck behind imagining grabbing their shirt and flinging them behind you, hurling down the staircase.

I don't like accommodating stupid and lazy people. I'd rather let social Darwinism have its day.

That reminds me how much I hate the (and love) the free sample counter at Trader Joes... At mine in particular they do that stopping thing right in from of the entrance. Which I s probably because the sample counter is right up near the front. And then it's so damn difficult to get my sample!! Grrr!!

People that nod at the drive-through speaker.

 

People that pop kids out and don't bother to actually raise them, just let them run amok in stores or wherever.

 

People that let their dog crap in my front yard and don't bother to clean it up (I'm saving it and if I catch you I'm force feeding it to you).

 

All the idiots that do like 50 MPH down the street in my neighborhood (posted 25 zone) Obviously my loogies streamed across your windshield aren't effective.... next step I'm  going to carry a dummy and start tossing it in front of your car.

 

People with small children who think the restaurant is a good place to conduct school at a volume for everyone to appreciate. Got news for you, no one cares and you're not showing off how smart your little nose miner is, just how low on the food chain you are. If you continue to praise your child for every milestone of mediocrity, you're only going to increase their overinflated sense of worth and accomplishment.

He's on a roll folks!

 

I don't like any of these things either, especially the second one. 

[doc_moore_j]

I don't like politcal correctness

and tailoring life to everybody's specific needs or interests

[ironmask]

I don't like public restrooms.

[imperfecz]

Yep, political correctness is pretty much newspeak.

 

 

aaaand your second point is something I have a real issue with on a number of levels, especially in the classroom. Not too long ago we held a kid back if he was struggling, that plus the stigma of being held back encouraged the kid to shape up or ship out. These days, we just lower the classroom standard to the lowest common denomenator to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Everyone gets a trophy. No dodgeball because you don't want a kid to feel singled out.

 

Common core... the main goal here from what I can see is to drive a wedge between parents and their kids, causing kids to depend on the school/state and not ask their parents for help. Add this piece of the puzzle to free and reduced food programs at the school, before and after school day care.... all these things put together and you have kids coming up with an undeserved sense of accomplishment, entitlement, suckling at the government teet from cradle to grave. What happens when these poor bubble raised kids get pushed out into the real world? Employers aren't going to hire based on the "everyone gets a trophy" basis. Your boss and fellow employees aren't going to skip dodgeball so you don't feel singled out.

I don't like public restrooms.

 

Is this why you and Jefferson don't get along?

[ironmask]

Jefferson loves percussion in public restrooms.

[Sixthwizard]

There is actually a lot of work being done whilst using the "rest"room.

 

I don't like John Wayne toilet paper.

[jkaris]

I don't like slow drivers in the fast lane.

[EnigmaGamer]

I don't like having no to buy figures!

[ironmask]

I don't like only having 24 hours in a day.

 

I didn't like having teachers that acted as if their class were the only one handing out homework every day.

[Sixthwizard]

I don't like dudes that shake my hand like a corpse.

[Jeremy0477]

I don't like fast drivers in the slow lane. Just kidding! I don't like cliffhangers followed by 6 months away from my favorite shows. I don't like stores that ask me to donate a dollar after I just gave them money. I like to donate by all means, but they just made a profit and want another dollar that they can donate in their name. How about donate from the money I just gave you!

[imperfecz]

Just ask them the percentage that makes it to the actual cause. Typically about one percent if they don't know, so offer them a penny if they get it directly to stated issue. That's how I handle them

[Sixthwizard]

I just say, nope. I don't like donating my money.

I already donate about all of it anyway....bills, taxes...and then the Toyman. Haha...

[Rubberhammer]

People who let the cashier ring up an entire cart of groceries, and THEN get out their checkbook and start writing.

[imperfecz]

Loud talker on the cell phone in a public setting, like a store or eatery of some sort. Also, stop giving me dirty looks for carrying on my own half of the asinine conversation you're having. Putz.

 

Worse? Fine!

The schmuck having an argument with his ex in TRU on the cell phone. A custody and responsibility argument. The child? Oh well he's about 3 aisles over.....

[Rubberhammer]

The guy in the convenience store buying 12 energy drinks, and a pack of gum, with a food stamp card.

[Sixthwizard]

Don't get me started on the food stamp cards.

Or the amnesty.

My wife is from Brazil and we have spent roughly $10,000 getting her citizenship which took 6 years and another $2,500 approximately getting her daughter over here- who has been on honor roll with the National Honor Society with a 3.8 average since she got here- not speaking ANY English, which she learned in LESS THAN a YEAR for eff sake!.....don't get her started on it either...hahaha
