People who play dumb when they aren't, that angers me to no ends.
Constantly happy people, like the kind you think are on morphine or something. Airheads. Nuff said.

Another thing about preps and why they think they're better than everybody else is because they have a ton of money and thinks anybody who doesn't is white trash. One of my friends beat the shit out of a prep because he called him trailer trash. But yea, basically everything that's been listed I agree with. Except a couple maybe, but I have no idea what Rainbow Shops Inc. is.

Gift vouchers. Some poor bugger who doesn't trust themselves to get you something good exchanges currency (spendable anywhere) for a gift voucher (spendable only in a certain shop) of equal value. So, upon recieving my gift voucher I trot down to the shop, looking for something which costs ten pounds (the value of the voucher); all I find is things priced either five pounds above ten pounds, or five pounds below ten pounds. So, I have to find some more money to buy what I'd actualy like, as anything below five pounds tends either to be tat, or snack food of equal tattyness. Thus, the shop, buy selling a gift voucher, garentees itself an extra five pounds or more in the future. It's a big scam. Besides, I like to see Her Majesty on what I'm spending. I daresay she does not, however. Can you imagine the old dear, popping down the post office fiver in hand, thinking "Oh, I used to look so good. What happened, Lizzy, what happened?" and then she purchases the stamps and thinks "Oh God, just to rub it in..."
Anti-Monarchists. It wouldn't work in somewhere like America, but here by having the Royal Family boosts our economy no end in tourism, and more than pays for the sixty one pense per year every Briton has to pay to have them. That's less than an internet subscription. Anti-Royalists can never seem to counter this point. Still, they're all good chaps. Television adverts. There is no point in them. So, the company pays the television station to put on their advert. The advert draws in so many customers, they can afford to pay the station further. All this money then pays for the stations programming. So, from customer, to firm, to television station. Why? The station's main objective becomes profit, so it creates programmes with heavier empasis on spending, to create more money for the company, as the potential consumer already has the idea that he wants to buy something when the adverts appear, and this money returns to the telly corperation. The progamming becomes easier to understand, and is "dumbed down", so as not to exclude the people less able to follow plotlines, who are a valuble target audience. But, if you look at the BBC television licence, which is paid directly from the veiwer to the BBC, then the BBC has no-one to please but its veiwers. Meaning, rather than focus on advertising and pulling in comsumers and firms, it can focus on fun programming. Did you know, that the BBC was the first TV company to do a nature documentery? Do you know why? It wasn't because anyone asked for it, but because they thought it was something worth looking at. The BBC doesn't have to appeal to everyone at once, so it has greater freedom. BBC 4 is a channel that broadcasts cultural things; smart comedies, documenteries about other countries, political debates and the like. So, only the people who like that sort of thing watch it. That is not a figure that would appeal to mainstream advertisers, but BBC 4 doesn't have to make profit, so it can exist freely. That is total freedom of the media, right there. Besides, it's probably cheap to pay the TV licence. If only a few pennies from each advertised product you buy goes back to the TV company, how many packets of Birds Eye Fish Fingers do you need to purchace to pay for your television? Do you knowhow much extra that is? But that isn't to say that advertisement funded television doesn't have its uses. It boosts the economy in a typicly capitalist way, which is fine. That doesn't mean I have to like sitting through two minutes of averts between my detective shows. People not cleaning up after their dogs. People saying bagpipes sound bad. They're actually really nice. Why else would they last this long? You wonder through Edinborugh and listen to the street pipers. It's lovely. When people turn the sound on their speakers to maxium in gaming cafes. It means I can never be really emmersed in my own game, as I am always lisening to other people dying and blowing off peoples' heads which I have no really vested interest in. The tabloids spoiling the next series of Doctor Who, which begins tomorrow. I am lucky enough not to have read them. The way in which the soutern states of America have no real plumbbing in a lot of their homes, and how no-one seems be bothered to do anything about it. My inability to find the Italian opening theme to Digimon. And the French one. Honestly, I can't have Japanese, English, Spanish and German (which is the coolest) without French and Italian. I'd be two soundtracks of a region two DVD. Three, possibly, if I include Dutch, but I think they may have just show then thing in English, like Switserland. When people don't accept people as they come.

Bagpipes have their place, and that place is outside. They just blast sound out and are sort of deafening at close range in an enclosed space. Also, they only have a range of a major 9th, which doesn't give you a whole lot to work with, so the repertoire tends to sound all the same. Here's more things I don't like. When people needlessly touch me. I absolutely HATE being touched for no reason. When people refuse to even acknowledge the other half of an argument they're patently ignoring. It drives me wild! Fallacy of omission, dammit, fallacy of omission! People who wait at the checkout until the employee tells them how much what they're buying costs before digging through their wallet/purse for their money. Like, c'mon, estimate and get your money ready so that when they say how much it is, you can just fork it over. Sheesh... In the same vein as what Herr Mullen said about people in gaming cafes, I hate it when people in computer labs listen to music, especially when other people are there trying to do work. I hate it when people (ie. mailman, paperboy, solicitors) walk across my lawn to get to my front door. Also, people who come to my front door peddling junk, asking for sponsorship, or holding a bible. Telemarketers. 'Nuff said. Gruff medical personnel. Nothing is worse when you're giving blood than a person who's totally negligent of how much pain you may be in as they root around in your arm with a thick needle, trying to find a vein. I think the word to use here is exruciating. Yyyyyeah... People who are late for no good reason. Also, people who continually come unprepared for rehearsal. How often these people are often one in the same... Popular music. I don't hate it because it's popular, I hate it because it can barely be classified as music. I think that's it for now. Hmmm...I'm a volatile person, aren't I?

Modern hip-hop and R&B
Country music. Pop music Any songs remade to be sung as kids that shouldn't. (wise knows what I mean) Wiggers/rednecks (but that's mostly what I see on tv sometimes) Preppy people (mostly the steriotypical white people like this) Various types of people seen on the internet (or said to be on the internet) Live journal (I don't use mine but some peoples are somewhat interesting) Myspace (mostly the same reasons I don't like live journal) Reality shows Various shows on tv. Various parts of the G4 gaming network. The xbox and the people who play halo and sports titles on them. People who say things about nintendo (yeah so some games are "kiddy" but your M rated games suck more) People who say professionial wrestling is gay when most sports are. (I have this thought out) The song macerana from a few years back and the celine deion song from titanic, the movie itself and the singer. (I have been know to punch people who started singing it) Being insulted in school sometimes and being insulted when I'm not in school. Pop-ups, unders and any of the sort. A bunch of random songs that I really don't want to listen to. The character voldo in the soul caliber series. Various characters on various tv shows. Typos. Uh...I think that's it. And I don't want to be here all night typing anymore.
