Well, with that crap they call sauce, the blood just might taste a little better on one of those Domino's pizzas--and Gad, just what the hell are you doing getting a pizza from DOMINO'S of all places? Egads! eek! Do you want me to add YOU to the list of "people who should be shot"?

Get a pizza from a REAL pizza joint!

Especially here in New York. With cheaper and tastier mom-and-pop places on nearly every corner, why choose stale cheese on cardboard?

Those females whose stomachs hang out while wearing low rise hip huggers and half shirts. Here's a clue...if it sticks out further than or over your waist line, COVER IT!!! :mad:

And those guys over 6'4 who try to wear the low rise jeans. STOP! The inseam stops at 34. You are too tall for these pants and you look stupid sagging in them.

Lastly, all these kids who think wearing their pants halfway down their ass makes them cool or hip. News flash...this was started by parents who didn't have enough money to buy clothes that fit their kids properly, they had to buy them too big for their kids to grow into them.

Well, I call these girls, Minnesota size 2. These girls (and I do mean females) are a size 14 or 16 wearing the most skimpiest pieces of clothing and act like they are the hottest thing in the land. The attitudes are through the roof. They can take on the bitchiest queen on Earth and would probably win.

They are a Minnesota size 2.

I hate it when people, men and women, don't know how to walk. Dragging your feet is not attractive. Looking down when you walk can get you mugged. Pick up the feet and look ahead and look people in the eye.

I hate people when I am still perceived as who I was four years ago. I am not the same person I was four years ago ... not even last year. People do grow and flourish.

I restocked on my ammo.

*Drivers who take their dear sweet time moving out of the way of ambulances, police cars and fire trucks.

*Pedestrians who walk against the light and shoot you a nasty look almost daring you to hit them. Won't hit you, just shoot you!

*People who eat a three course meal on public transportation. They get shot twice if they leave their trash on the floor of the train.

Telemarketers who don't understand the word, "NO!"

George,

Santa gave me some more ammo for Christmas.

1. Gay people who think that anything that is gay themed is automatically great and everyone shoudl watch it and love it.

2. People who do not wait for a stoppage in play before getting up at a hockey game.

3. People who fling their cigarette butts out of their car. That's what an ashtray is for. Don't like the smell? Stop smoking.

4. Groups of people who decide to take up the ENTIRE sidewalk so they can all be side by side, thus leaving no room for people walking in the opposite direction.

5. Neighbors who have a habit of slamming their doors at 12:30 am or later.

Online guys -- although I'm sure women do this, too -- who when you ask for a photo of them gladly send you one -- one that's easily more than five years old and 20 pounds lighter. And you think I'm not going to notice the discrepancy when I finally meet you, that your sterling personality is going to, um, outweigh that lard you're carrying around? Think again while I walk away. And once you're done thinking either borrow a friend's digital camera or go buy one of your own. Gah...

Honesty? Still the best policy.

I'll weigh in with the parents who do not put their kids in seat belts. We've all seen them at the stoplight....kids standing up in the seat, bouncing around with their chin on the dashboard. It's just shameful that they either don't care or are just ignorant.

You're really loving this, aren't you, George? wink

A few more, this time on Doctors:

* Doctors who charge you a "cancelled appointment" fee. What, so they can get maybe one refilled gas tank in their Cadillac Esplanade SUV?

* Doctors who act like they're doing you a favor by letting you be their patients. f**k them, there's always another one just as competent.

* Doctors who schedule an appointment with you, and the only person you see is his nurse practitioner.

I generally wouldn't mind bumping off most of the people my age. I find a lot of other teenagers to be really annoying, especially when they act like adults are out to get them and destroy their fun.


Also, I have to agree with everyone who wants to shoot people driving while talking on their cell phone. It's very annoying to new drivers like myself to nearly get in an accident with these people.

foley artists.

loudly.

repeatedly.

many, MANY drivers need to be offed.

Including, but not limited to:

Cell phone users (covered repeatedly)

People with those damn bright ass friggin lights. Apparently as long as *they* can see the road, that's all that matters, eh?

People who insist on stopping about 2" from my back bumper, especially when going up a hill. You do realize some people still drive manual, right? And when a manual starts up a hill, it'll roll back (unless I use the emergency brake technique, which I haven't had to do, thankfully)

People who take notes while driving. Yes, I saw a guy do this. He was on his cellphone, and had a legal pad on his steering wheel, and was writing stuff on it!

People who think it's cool to have a riced-out car that's loud as hell, and insist on driving through my neighborhood at 3AM.

Now, for some bullets aimed at the college-folk:

People who have their music turned on full blast any time after 11pm. The dorms have quiet hours, which mean to BE f**kING QUIET. Somehow you got into this university... I'd think you'd be able to understand that concept.

People who are at the university just to be able to leech off their parent for another 4-5 years.

People who try to argue points back on their exam with the professor/TA/reader/whoever-graded-it when it's obvious that they got their ass totally killed on the exam and they should be spending the time studying the material instead of whining.

People who only show up for the exams and wonder why they failed the course. (Note: I'm not for killing those who can actually pass the course using this technique. I just want to slap them for being smarter than me )

People that assume that just because I'm a math major that I want to tutor them in math for free. HA! Free tutors are available in the math/CS building, not my dorm room!

Departments at the university that require you take one of their courses to graduate (History, Ethnic Studies, a few others). I understand the appeal behind a liberal education, but do I really need to take a course in modern history for my BS in Mathematics?

So ... yeah... not that I'm an advocate of violence, but some people are just asking for it!

Okay, I don't really want these people to be shot, but some discipline is clearly needed for...people who post to Outsports, make a typo or spelling error and, instead of using the Edit function to correct their error, make another post to say that they made a mistake. wink

Okay, I really don't like people who continually complain about spelling errors and e-mail "slang" spellings that aren't correct within accepted English spellings.

Big f**king deal! It's a discussion board and lots of people type things in really fast around a very hectic schedule. Mistakes are bound to happen.

Look past it, okay. eek! :confused:

um blil fs
I think you mispelled conitunlaly
please pay attention to your spelling

I completely agree with you. I was a TA for an Introductory Chemistry course at my school and after each quiz and exam, I would always have students whine about "impossible questions." While I wanted to say, it wouldn't have been an "impossible" question if you would have studied for the exam, I managed to bite my tongue ... for the most part.

IMO, the most annoying students were those who would miss all but 10 minutes of my 2 hour Chemistry recitation yet they expected to receive full credit for participation. Usually, I would give partial credit, but I would have some students throw a fit because I wouldn't give them full credit. I wanted to say ... I have to drive 45 minutes to campus in a suit and tie at 9 in the f-ing morning each Friday, the least you can do is drag your lazy butt to campus in a pair of sweats and a dirty t-shirt and act somewhat interested in my 2 hour lecture about the molecular orbital theory. :mad:

In my experience its straight guys that have to leave that space - then if I want to make a comment - the other person is a mile away ! - What a pain!

A couple of my job pet peeves:
People who's juveniles are caught red handed for a crime vandalizing, drunk driving, intox-disorderly etc,etc and when they come to pick up their kid they blame the police for arresting them. " Don't you cops have any thing better to do!!!"
Also - I love people - I really do...but if you want to make conversation with a cop then making a cop/doughnut joke is SOO unoriginal. Like after 20 yrs I haven't heard them all?? Other wise I love to talk to people in a coffee shop or restaurant. Since this thread is about things we really hate, should we have a thread about things we really like ?????????? :confused:

I like traffic lights. wink

This happened to me on the way to Timberline. The stopping person was directly in front of me, in a Cadillac. Have no idea what he was looking at/for.I was sure I'd never get started on that grade, but I did.

I think you need a spanking. wink

It's not the misspellings or typos that bother me. Sometimes they can be fun. A woman in a mailing list I'm on made one that continues to live on in infamy, when she made a reference to "countless fondues" but in the word "countless" she didn't type the "o."

What I'm talking about is if someone makes a mistake and then posts something like "Whoops! What I meant to say was, blah blah blah." You can just click on the icon that looks like a paper and pencil and make the correction. If you do it quickly enough, no one's the wiser.

I've actually edited a post into infinity.

Not here, though.

*whew*

You mean I'm really straight?!? Hot damn! I'm cured! So I AM straight after all!

Nah, too sappy and not as much fun.

In the years I spent as a history professor, I used to want to shoot people who ask questions like that. Ahh, what the hell, I still do. wink wink

Do you need the course in modern history. Well, since you're also going to have other things you do in life (like being part of a participatory democracy), then yes, you do. The history majors have to take math and science, too, though, so you're not suffering alone.

For you G&S fans out there ...

Ko-Ko [a.k.a. araanib]

As someday it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list -- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed -- who never would be missed!
There's the classmate who asks questions just to hear his own loud voice --
The statesman who insists that there “just ain’t no woman’s choice” --
All closeted celebrities who want my sympathy --
Or people who look down on me for worshiping Buffy --
And all commuters who on driving crazily insist --
They'd none of 'em be missed -- they'd none of 'em be missed!

Chorus of [Hot] Men
He's got 'em on the list -- he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed -- they'll none of 'em be missed!

Ko-Ko
There’s the “Reverend” Phelps’s family, and the others of their faith
And Coulter’s publicist – I’ve got her on the list
And the people who ride Metro cars but who do not ever bathe
They never would be missed -- they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and ev'ry country but his own;
[I left that one intact for PhillyFan]
And the woman at the Eagle who wants to be a guy
(Girl, backroom sex and leather slings are just not for your eye);
And those paradoxal nuisances, the right-wing moralists --
I don't think they'd be missed -- I'm sure they'd not be missed!

Chorus of [Hot] Men
You may put 'em on the list -- you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed -- they'll none of 'em be missed!

The reason people go back for those points is because professors give them to them though. In college, I never once went to see a professor to change a grade on a test, even if I thought I was 100% right. I didn't want to be seen as the complaining kid crying about his grade. But then I would see several people go back after every test and every single time, they'd get 5-10 points back (I was an engineer and averages usually were somewhere in the 50s-60s, so 10 points back was not too extravagant). That was one of my pet peeves in school.

OK, another driving issue. People who have not yet learned that you don't need to hit the brake just to slow down. Simply take your foot off the accelerator, leave your foot positioned in midair, and you'll slow down. Ta-da!

My darling sister is one person who has not discovered this fact yet. The foot is always pressing the gas or the brake. I have seen her accelerate going downhill, and brake going uphill. Crazy.

Ok, here's one I left off my list: People who talk in movies.
Shut. The. F*ck. Up.

[quote]Skiguy:
[QUOTE]Ok, here's one I left off my list: People who talk in movies. Shut. The. F*ck. Up. [/quote]I see your talking in movies and I'll raise you the people who talk in concerts, especially the ones who carry on their inane conversations DURING A SONG. That pisses me the f*** off! Shut the F*** up and let me enjoy the show or I'm getting your ass kicked out!

Destiny, I agree? I was at a King Crimson show a few years ago and during a really, beautiful, quiet moment--it was so quiet in the 800 capacity club I was in that you could hear the airconditioning system--this guy and his two women friends decided that continuning the conversation they'd had the whole night, while standing with their backs to the stage, was a good thing. I shot them a glance and they got outraged that I was infringing on their right to ruin a great musical moment. ass****s.

The best story was something that happened at the San Francisco Opera about 5 years ago during a performance of Wagner's Die Walkure. A cell phone went off during a quiet bit. Bad enough, those things sound like air raid sirens in a opera house during a quiet bit. But instead of frantically turining off her phone and begging forgiveness, the woman took the call. She's lucky she wasn't sitting next to my friend John, he would have grabbed the phone from her and had her kicked out at the intermission.

That reminds me: people yammering on their freakin' cell phones in an elevator. Hel-LO? It's a small enclosed space, I don't want to hear the inane conversation you're having with your girlfriend bouncing off the walls.

Noise pollution in general, such as music being blared really loud in stores or in malls.

Loud cell phone conversations anywhere! I cannot tell you the number of times I have been witness to women walking down the sidewalks of New York screaming into their cell phones about their gynecological issues. Or businesspeople on planes making "business deals" loudly, or simply berating their staff, long after cell phones are supposed to have been turned off.

I can't live without my cell phone, but I try to have a little discretion.

OutSporters who create multiple screen names and then have conversations with themselves.

wink

It depends. If a theater is half (or more) empty and we're taking spaces in the middle of a bunch of empty seats (and we're not on a date, just friends), I might leave a space (and save the comments for later). If the place is anywhere close to full (so somebody will either take the space and sit between us or hassle us about it), then no.

Actually, I go to movies (and plays and concerts) alone more often than not, so I'm usually leaving a space between a total stranger and me, especially in overcoat season ... just as I would at a bar (if several stools are open, not just one). No violins please -- if I like a show, why should I miss it just because I don't have an escort? (I like going with a group if someone else organizes it -- "improvising" means half the night is wasted on the "I don't know, what do you want to do?" dance.)

more who should be shot:

- anyone who forgives the criminal behavior of their spoiled kids ("So what if he's a date rapist, he's the captain of the football team!"... "It was just a hazing ritual, so some girl's head got split open and smeared with dog feces - you can't ban her from the prom!")

- ditto for any sports organization that continues to hire and rehire habitual offenders (Strawberry, et. al.)

- drivers who stop at the end of a highway entrance ramp and wait for an enormous gap in traffic before they attempt to merge (even though there is a 200 yard-long merge lane for them to use)

Here's one:

The guy that puts those subscription inserts into my Men's Health "subscription." Do you really need to put ten of those into every issue? And by the way, I already have a subscription, why would I need the insert?

And whoever invented those inserts in such a way that they never fall out when the mailman is delivering them, only when you're reading them! I am sick of picking them all up off the floor.

• Michael Jackson, because I said so.
