Just to get a few out of the way:

-Conspiracy theorists

-The "1-Up" people. The people who compare everything you do to what they do. You broke an arm, they broke both. You say you ran 10 miles and said it was hard, they say "Yeah well I ran 20 miles yesterday and I'm not complaining." You see where I'm going.

-Sports fans. It's not just the fact that they like sports, it's the redundant conversations/accusations they make.
"The Sox suck"
"Nuh-uh, the Cubs suck"
"The Sox have a worse record this year"
"The Sox won the World Series a number of years ago" (fuck, I don't know how many)
"Yeah but they cheated"
"Durrr Sammy Sosa used a cork bat"
"Therez always next year BLAHBLAHBLAH BULLSHIT I FUCK MY MOTHER"

-People making obvious remarks about stuff that's.. well, obvious...

-People with mohawks. They just piss me off. Occasionally, someone cool will get a mohawk, but it's usually just attention craving douche bags, or just regular douche bags.

-Hippocrites.

-People that call music that obviously isn't emo, emo. I'm not going to go into any detail here. NOT ALL MUSIC IS FUCKING EMO.

-Everything takes a shitload of effort, including writing this list.

-"The Bible Says It So It Must Be Right" people

Damn, there were more, but I seriously don't remember.

-Freestyle Soccer players trying to dominate a footbag circle. Start your own damn circle. (Freestyle Soccer is cool in my book, but lay off people.) The same goes for people who enjoy Takraw and shuttlecocks. Footbag is footbag.

-People who enjoy doing HUGE flyers that go above twice their height. Bags die easily from that abuse.

-People who racial profile openly. "His last name is Simpson, he must be a Jew." wtf? :evil:

-Skater punks who rebel against park rules. No skateboards/bicycles/rollerblades ALLOWED. Read, dumbasses.

-Sexist men.

edit: Adding one more:

-Zippers, especially pant zippers. There's no feeling quite like having your privates exposed after a tiring day of footbag. I'm not supporting the button fly or anything, but I think it's annoying that you forget to zip your pants up after playing a hard session of footbag and entering into a public area, like say, a subway or bus. Then some ***** comes along saying/thinking that you're some whack perv. Stupid zipper flies. :evil:

Then some ***** comes along saying/thinking that you're some whack perv flaunting your shit. Stupid zipper flies. :evil:

-People who think you're a frotteur, or are into frotteurism. If the bus or subway is packed full of people, there's reason to believe that my body will come into contact with some random individual. I'm not here to please myself, I just want to get to my destination. Any stupid woman who accuses me of this heinous crime, 85% of the time I'm sure, has been beaten with a mangled ugly stick, so I'm extremely doubtful that I would be turned on by the likes of these people. In fact, I should be the one screaming "RAPE!" for getting rubbed down the wrong way in this fashion.

Hmm, this seems fun...

I fucking hate:
- fat people with no concept of nutrition (especially those who HAVE NO IDEA they are fat)
- small talk
- people with no ambition or goals
- people who use motorized scooters but are NOT FUCKING HANDICAPPED :evil:
- people who pick up USED cigarettes off the GROUND for FUTURE USE. Gross!!
- anyone who asks me "Why?" when I say I don't drink or do drugs
- people who are easily impressed (He hit the Hacky Sack with his head and then kicked it!!) :x
- stubborn, opinionated and narrow-minded people
- those who use cell phones simply to ignore you and look busy/important

My number one pet peeve has to be

Smokers. I cannot think of anything more irrational and illogical than smoking. Why the hell would anyone even want to try it?
The answer: "to see if I like it or not". That's not good enough, dumbass. What happens if you like it? Gonna jump the bandwagon to deteriorating health? That'll be fun, won't it? I fucking hate it with a passion.

Enjoy the shortened life, asshole. Oh, and thanks for poisoning me and all the other non-smokers unwillingly.

Everyone in my family smokes. I love them to death, but that's one thing about them I simply can't stand.

Why not use a pseudonym?
Lots of people do. Pick a name you like and tell people that's what you're called.

Some things I really really dislike:

- shit service in expensive restaurants.
- people who talk very loudly in public transport (and to a lesser extent in public places)
- beggars using toddlers to gain pity (happens a lot in Europe, not sure about the US)

FUCK!

- I hate people that call all electronic music "Techno" .... Jesus fucking christ...it's a sub division

- People who say catch-phrases because they think its funny or cool, in reality it makes them look like retards (rick james bitch, git er done, borat bullshit)

- When people have shitty lawns, its fucking simple, cut it on the highest, dont pick up the grass. WTF. I have the best lawn in the whole state, thats because I cut it ;)

- Shitty pens piss me off, especially when a pen skips and doesnt write anything, I hate ballpoint pens.

- Sarcasm

- Retarded people...they should be euthanized, they have nothing positive for society except giving people jobs that want to care for them.

- EMO EVERYTHING! Its so fucking shitty, the music and the style. Emo people only have one emotion anyways, so how can they say they are emotional :evil:

-People that walk into a fast food restaurant and are surprised and pissed off at the fact that there's grease on the burger. Get over it, you paid a buck for it... it edible dumbass. :roll:

-Loud people. Especially those highschool jocks that think if they're louder, they're cooler. They'll get that wide-eyed expression, look at there friend, who is 2 feet away, and talk, LOUD. Not yell, just talk, really, fucking, loud. Makes me want to take the chair I'm sitting in, and throw it at them... Half of the time, they're clenching their fists with a straw in their mouth that they're vice-griping with their teeth, and half-flexing their arms. Pisses me the fuck off, because most of these shit heads are not tough in the least and cripple at the thought of a bloody nose. I'll stop raging now.

-People that make stupid, pointless, and immature response on answers to questions. Example. Psychotic kid who sits next to me in my English 12 class (He's going to blow up my school, I swear...), wrote on his short essay question asking the differences and similarities between "The Majestic" and "The Salem Witch Trials," "Fucking I don't know." And Mrs. Olson's my favorite teacher, and that just really, pisses me off that people have the ability to write incoherent shit that doesn't make sense, and is just so disrespectful... Could've broken that kids fingers when I read that.

-People that have pornography magazines. If you're going to lower yourself to look at porn, use your damn computer so I don't have to see it lying around your place... god damn.

-People that say one thing is better than another simply because of it's brand name. I mean, the only brand I won't buy anymore (Simply because of my shitty luck with their products.) is Sony, but I don't tell other people who are looking to buy a Sony product that they shouldn't.

-People that have their ear buds cranked so loud that you can hear them from across the room, and it's hard to hear other things.

-People that camp outside of my Wal-Mart Super Center with a sign, "Need help please. Anything." You god damn beggars. You fucked up your life, now go fix it. Come on, there's a truck stop less than half a mile from that Wal-Mart. Go scrounge up enough money for a shower, go to the Salvation Army and get some clothes that aren't raggy and torn to bits. They do donate free clothes if you need them. And get a job at a fast food restaurant or something like that, and start saving money so you can feed yourself. If I were homeless right now, I could bring myself back up quite easily. These people are just lazy.

-Lazy people.

-People that say they are going to join the military when you know they're not going to. If you're not going to do it, don't say you are. And if you are, quit saying you are going to, and fuckin' do it already.

-Parents that don't take care of their kids. Saw some lady the other day with her 4 year old daught, and her daughter was wear a 2 year old's pair of full body pajamas. And they were worn to hell. Faded nearly white, stretched to the max... and the poor little girl's hair was a rat's nest, dirty face. Yet, the mom was at least decently dressed, clean, and what not. Such a selfish bitch. The sad part is, this lady is legally related to my girlfriend's aunt somehow. So I've heard loads about how horrible this lady is. Pisses me off when people don't take care of their children.

-Things that are so poorly made that they just fall apart one day with no apparent reason. Example. Front of the disc drive on my PS2 fell off yesterday. It's in my room, which is always locked, so no one could've touched it, yet, I tap the button to open the disc drive, and the front just... fell off. I just kind of stared at it and said, "... Ok." That's Sony for you. Not mad that the face fell off, mad at the fact that Sony has made, yet another defective, shitty god damn product for me. Only had it a year too... :roll:

I'm done for now.

"Every Morning" by Sugar Ray is such a bitchin' song... :) (Old, I know, but I'm listening to it now and I am just appreciating it, ha ha.)

I hate:

People who can't control their dogs.

People with mean dogs.

Dogs that can't be controlled.

Mean dogs.

People who can't control their mean dogs.

Dogs that attack me.

Owners of dogs that say "He's never done anything like this before! I'm so sorry. WAH WAH WAH WAH." You've already gotten on my "I Hate You" list for not controlling your mean dog, but now you're lying to me too? If your dog jumps over a 4 foot fence and chases me 5 houses away until I have to hide behind a tree, I'm pretty damn sure your fucking dog has fucking attacked somebody before, so stop being a fucking liar and buy a taller fence you dipshit.

Pet Peeve:

Guys at the gym who grab the heaviest weight they can possibly hold and perform the worst one or two reps without form to attempt to show off.

It's not hard to bench 315 if you move it six inches... :?

I seriously, SERIOUSLY, feel your pain. :( People who say they'll "call you back" but never do are the worst. It's like a stupid game of tag.

Another one (I just seem to find a lot of stupid shit in my daily routine):

-People who can't read newspapers or read shitty-ass newspapers. Example: Rush hour, 9 am, subway, packed with people. There's a woman next to me reading the newspaper. I ask her "Say, do you know what today's weather is like?" She eyeballs me and directs me to the front of the page of her newspaper, saying nothing. I continue to ask her again, but politely: "Umm, where does it say about today's weather forecast? I'm not familiar with this paper." Of course, I'm a bit familiar with the publication of the paper (it's called the "The Metro"), but this ***** keeps directing me to the fuckin' front page with her eyes. I lie to her and say to her knowingly that today's weather seems fair and all that BS. However, later in that day, I find on the front page of the same stupid ass newspaper that there is no indication of today's weather forecast. In fact, there is NONE WHATSOEVER. The only weather info I see is for tomorrow and the day after, but NOTHING FOR TODAY. The woman could have easily told me "I'm sorry, but I don't know really" but she just gives me a weird look and goes on with her own damn business. "The Metro" is a shitty newspaper, I understand, but this is besides the point.

That's NYC for you. Full of idiots like these. :x

yeah, i thought they took the damn things with them everywhere... oh well...

when people brag about their cooking, then it not only looks like shit, but tastes like shit as well...

when someone does what i just described on a nearly nightly basis, and then makes it a point to make sure you know they cooked when they see you walk right past it... seriously i'll heat up a few burritos when you go to sleep, and i'll make sure the slop gets put away.

not having milk in the fridge

people who bitch about wanting to do something, but not having enough money to do it, when the event is like two months away... save a little bit here and there, its not that difficult to save twenty dollars in two months.

obese people who go into mcdonalds and order a mass ammount of food, and that a super sized diet coke... what good does that do? they might as well not even serve diet drinks at mcdonalds.

well i'm done for now.

Ditto to both of these. I used to work at a McDonald's that was attached to a Trails Travel Center truck stop. I swear, you sell more super sized meals there in a day than the 2 other "normal" McDonald's that are in-town combined in a week. And over half of them get diet cokes. And a large amount of them buy number fours... Double Qtr lb meals... It's ridiculous.

And I could just crumple to the floor and cry when I open the fridge and find there's no milk. :cry:

This bothers me to but there is appartently a reason for this. I asked my formerly obese cousin (she had gastric bypass). A lot of obese people have diabetes and drint diet because there is no sugar.

In turn they try to do something good for themselves by getting diet but if they didnt eat a massive amount of food they would need to drink diet they could enjoy a regular like the rest of us

I hate diet pop. basically thats another pet peeve of mine
