things that make you irationally angry

[ed miliband]

- noisy eaters - i mean, i guess i can probably be a noisy eater sometimes, it's kinda hard to avoid when you're eating crunchy stuff, biting into an apple or whatever, but i'll always make an effort to minimise the sound and i never eat 'noisy' food in small, cramped public spaces.

what i have a real problem with is people eating, i guess, 'wet' food really loudly, so you can hear all the fucking juices reverberating around their gob. it's ten times worse when the bastard is doing this on public transport, particularly long distance coach or bus journeys. i've had to experience numerous times, and i just can't comprehend why noisy eaters aren't concious of a) the sound of their eating, and b) where they are eating noisily. it's fine to do on your own, it's fucking rude to do when surrounded by strangers trying to nap or read or eat quietly.

- drivers and cars - i think this started when i was 16 and all my peers decided to get their driving licences because they had 'come of age'. yeah, fair enough if you live in the arse end of nowhere, but in a city with good public transport it just seemed silly to me; who needs to drive when you have buses, overground and underground trains, trams (in certain places), bikes, etc.?

that initial confusion has since festered into real, burning anger. it seems the moment someone takes to the road they become an anti-social dickhead; i want to cross the road or cycle without road-raging dickheads trying to run me over because i'm not quick enough. in cities cars should either be banned or there should be draconian laws about how fast they can drive, the congestion charge and parking fees should also be ridiculously high.

recently i heard about some danish racing car driver, friends with uber-twat lewis hamilton, who died driving 80mph in a 30mph zone in some london neighbourhood. his family and friends were crying about how he was a good lad, how he hadn't been drinking or taking drugs -- as if it's somehow excusable to drive at psychopathic speeds if you're sober. the selfish disregard he seemingly had for the lives of others would make ayn rand blush, and we should breathe a sigh of relief that a creep like him is no longer around to risk the lives of pedestrians. what's worse, lewis hamilton then attempted to make a martyr out of him by engraving his initials onto his helmet - surely that should have been severely punished? you'd have thunk anyway.

i think those are the only two for me.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

Conspiracy theorists and people who believe all of this bunk-pseudoscience crap while disregarding "mainstream" science as if that's a thing. This is just annoying on the internet, but I become infuriated IRL.

And people who try to convince me there's a spirit realm / god / jesus / karma / whatever when they find out I'm an atheist who thinks karma is one of the dumbest things you could possibly come up with and actually believe. I'm not a "militant atheist" or whatever, I don't give a fuck if someone's religious, but if someone asks me I'll tell them. And if they then try to convince me I'm wrong I get pissed.

[Prometeo liberado]

People who "ask" me a question, though only to find out it's just an "in" to tell me their views. As you attempt to answer you'll see them not listening to you, just constructing what they really want to say.

can't afford to go to the cinema, or at least i spend the spare money i have on better stuff so never go anyway. gonna have to try harder kid.

[ed miliband]

also, i don't mind the sorta 'dry' sound of crackers cruching, my problem is when the crunching turns into that sort of mushy wet sound. can't really explain it.

[ВАЛТЕР]

Irrationally angry?

I get really, really mad when a someone is driving in a way that makes the road unsafe for the other drivers. In general I am pretty calm, however when I get behind the wheel I get pissed at everybody that does not drive safely. Roadrage is a problem for me. :(

but see, that's good road rage! my problem is with drivers who drive like there is nobody else on the road; i don't mind drivers as long as they acknowlege they have to interact with other human beings, which a lot seem to forget once they're behind the wheel.

'Corps' students (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studentencorps) which is kind of like the European frat guy tradition but really posh, stuck-up and ultra-bourgeois. Kind of like the light and wannabe version of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullingdon_Club.

Their whole attitude makes me want to punch their lights out whenever I see them.

Fuck Bad animation. Fuck that 3D Garfield cartoon I used to see on TV all the time. Fuck Johnny Test. And fuck Robot Chicken for being so fucking dumb.

Fuck anyone who thinks a reference is a suitable replacement for a punchline.

Fuck anyone who says "Epic" or uses internet memes period. Especially if they say it irl.

Fuck anyone who pretends they know something about comic books or video games when they don't. i don't know when it became so cool to be king of dweebs that people decided to become the biggest lamest tryhards but fuck those people

"lol aquaman is useless powerdsdsidjisjdi"

dunno any of that sort in leeds where i go to uni, but i can imagine the sort you mean, especially as i go to a 'red brick' uni. usually very annoying, but i've met some nice ones tbh, even had pints bought for me by them. amongst friends they're usually regarded as a joke tho.

When I'm eating and a stranger is watching me eat from their car or from another table. I get really upset.

I completely agree about people who eat food really loudly, though.

re: cars. I don't live in a big city, so I obviously need a car. Probably would sell my car if I moved somewhere with reliable public trans, though. Anyway, when I lived in Texas something that really annoyed me was bike riders, and how they'd ride their bicycles on the street, really slowly, right in front of my car. I wanted to launch those dumb hipsters right off their bicycle seats with the sonic energy released by me putting my entire body weight on the car horn, but I'm too polite for that. Plus I suppose that they were perfectly within their rights to ride their bikes on the street, but that didn't stop my barely-contained homicidal rage from boiling just below the surface!

Another thing I really dislike is stupid people on Facebook, especially those people who post really annoying, faux-inspirational quotes as status updates. They make me want to genocide the entire human race. Also people who jump on political/cultural bandwagons without any notion of what they're talking about, like "OMG RIP STEVE JOBS!!!!" or "OMG JOSEPH KONY IS SUCH A BAD MAN!!!"

[ed miliband]

see, i'm too polite to ride slowly in front of cars, i always race ahead but i really don't think i should have to.

really, cars are like guns - they're very usefull in rural areas, but not in cities.

It's kind of different over here though. In Germany, Belgium and Austria there's a long tradition of Burschenschaften (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burschenschaft) which are really traditional student fraternities with either classical liberal or (ultra-)nationalist ties and a few aristocratic members. The students close to the Burschenschaften in Germany and Austria were very frequently drawn from the Junker class and many of them made up the officers in the various Freikrops militias in the Weimar republic, a tradition they still honor regularly.

Over here in the Netherlands it's (as usual) a weak replica with mainly posh rich kids (or those who would like to be) playing Gordon Gekko. It's the main student tradition though and actually pretty big at universities with prominent economics and law faculties.

I don't even know what the fuck that means. All I know is it pisses me off when I find out people like Lil B. I'll still like the person but in the back of my mind I'll always be thinking "really? Lil B?"

Yeah, I know what you mean. I worked as an engraver around 5 years ago, and I swear none of my co-workers, aside from my managers, knew what the fuck kerning is. They used to make me rage, especially when I'd hand over an item someone else engraved, catch a glimpse, and the customer sees it all fucked up, and then I have to apologize and say it's a new guy and usually had to re-do their shit (it was a local shop and we sold some items so we had some things stocked, if it was an outside item we had to cut them a check for the value and/or buy a new one), when in reality it was someone who had been working there for 3 years.

I go into rage picking mode. i start cursing management somewhat loudly, yelling fuck so and so customer company, and actually being more productive hahahaha. rage speed.

Not the first one, but the other three. I do that. And if I'm reading some text on the computer and accidentally highlight a sentence with my mouse (it clicks easily), I have an uncontrollable urge to highlight the rest of the text I can see to make it 'even'. If a mouse passes over text and becomes the "I" cursor, I sometimes have an uncontrollable urge to make it pass over all the text I'm reading. But I can relieve that by going to a different page.

When I was a little kid I'd count my steps to multiples of four and have a spaz attack if I ended sentences with certain syllables that I didn't like. Thankfully that stopped around age 10-11.

This thread is different than the small things that annoy you thread for two reasons.
1. entries in the things that annoy you thread can be rational
2. anger implies more intensity than annoyance does.

People who don't understand this piss me off.

You know what else pisses me off? People knocking on my door. I spend most of my time in my bedroom because I like being alone. And sometimes I have to close this site when I'm reading something interesting because I don't want my family to know I'm a communist and they think I'm watching porn because it takes me a second to open the door and I'm sitting at my computer with nothing open.

[Quail]

Couldn't you put something more innocuous in another tab/window (a news site perhaps?) and flick to that when they come in? I used to go on a lot of sites I didn't want my parents to know about and probably looked guilty as hell closing everything down every time they came into my room. My parents never used to fucking knock though, drove me crazy.
