Ten Things I hate

Below I have finally compiled a list of ten things I hate. I should note they are in order, but the first three are so close they are basically all number 1. It was tough to narrow it down to just ten. Some of the honorable mentions include: people that clean a clean house when company comes over, people that make their beds, people that aren't rich but try to pretend to be, and people that ask me questions in the movie theater. So now that you know what didn't make the list, here are the ones that did.

I. Grammar misuse.
A. I know I do not have perfect grammar, but I do make an effort. I hate when people do not use punctuation or capitalization at all. You can see an example of this anywhere on the internet.
B. People that say 35 cent make me want to kill myself. I cannot stand when someone says “I got 35 cent in change”.
C. People need to study the commonly misused words list in most grammar books.

II. Hypocrites. This one is self explanatory. I think everyone hates hypocrites. I can't stand anyone that says one thing and acts another. Or even worse those vapid, vain, and vexatious people that do things, simply because they think everyone else does/enjoys it. An example is a certain family event (not my direct family) was capped off when someone suggested a toast. I nearly died laughing at the great joke, until I realized he was serious. I am sorry, but unless you are in a corny romantic comedy, a toast is not necessary.

III. Fair weather fans. I am a 49er fan. I think you know this if you are reading this, especially since I just said it. I have been a 49er fan forever. I am also an Oriole fan, which I have been forever. In the past ten years that has given me a total of two division championships and three wild cards, for both teams combined. And still I am the proudest fan of my teams as can be. So the one type of fan I can't stand is a fair weather fan. I know someone who was a Raven fan, until they lost to the Colts last year, then he was a colt fan. The worst kind of fair weather fan is someone that is a Yankee fan that doesn't live in New York. And you might say “but you said the 49ers were your favorite team, shouldn't it be the Ravens” to which I will say “The Ravens didn't exist when I started liking football, now go kill yourself in punishment for your ignorance.”.

IV. Humor.
A. My family’s sense of humor, for the most part, is embarrassing. For example, I was trying to mind my own business when my someone started playing a Larry “the Cable Guy” Christmas set. When I did not burst out laughing, she turned it up, stared at me, and then asked if I could hear it. Of course I could hear it, so could the neighbors and I bet they did not laugh either.
B. People that laugh obnoxiously loud at their own jokes, especially when no one else is laughing, are exceptionally annoying.
C. I really have distaste for people that constantly make jokes during a movie. I am talking about the people that make so many jokes you cannot even hear the people talking in the movie.

V. The way people argue. “Be that as it may”. I don't thinks there is a more infuriating statement someone can say when arguing with me. What the person should say is: “OK, I can't argue that expertly made point, but for the sake of my argument I am going to ignore it, not counter it.”.

VI. The way people Drive. I would go into this one, but I don't think you want to read pages of content on the way people annoy my while driving. Instead I will simply list a few words and you can guess what about them annoys me. Cell Phone, Turn Signals, Tunnel, EZ Pass, Fast Lane. I had to stop there before I got an aneurysm.

VII. People that complain about guns/items/powers in videogames. I instantly hate people that use the word noob in a serious way. So when someone says that a certain gun is a noob gun, I automatically assume they have been killed by it too many times. I am currently playing the COD4 Beta and there is a small debate in the game about the power of the M4. People claim the M4 is overpowered because of its small recoil and fully auto setting, but the gun is balanced in the game. Sure it has a higher rate of fire and more stability then the M16A4, but the M16A4 have more power and accuracy.

VIII. People who crave acknowledgment. Everyone likes to be recognized for the work they do, and to a certain extent I am fine with it. It is the people that like any recognition, for anything, no matter if they did it or not that annoy me.

IX. “Kids” movies with “Mild Language”. This is simple, Disney and Pixar and all the other people making kids movie need to cut out the curse words. Kids will learn them from other sources soon enough, trust me.

X. Helping everyone with computers. I love helping people, I just hate feeling anxious that I won't be able to. Every time someone ask me to look at their computer I have a mini panic attack. It is gratifying when I can help someone. I just wish I could do it without all the worry.
