Trolls who think they're better than you just because you're different than them. And it really pisses me off when they call someone else a troll after someone calls them out on their behavior, which happened to me last night.

:laughing: Did you let someone from the internet irritate you, or you call people trolls "in real life"? How did this argument go? Can I get a link to laugh? I love e-fights.
Alleged troll: You're different. You are a troll!
You: No. Nun un!
Alleged troll: Yes you are.
You: Nope. I am not! You are!
Alleged troll: No. You Are so! Not me! I said it first!
You: *flustered and angry, goes to bed upset*

When some old bitch gets it into her head that I'm her friend, and that I want to be kept in the loop on every fucking detail of her life. I don't know how this happens, but it does. I've always been a magnet for these people and they're extremely difficult to shake off, like disgusting parasites.

The latest one is by far the worst I've ever had to deal with. Sometimes all I can do is stand in amazement at how much she rambles on. It's always about herself and her own problems, never a thought for mine (she doesn't even know anything about me because she's never asked). She jumps from one boring tangent to the next without so much as a breath between them, often going around in circles to join up with previous topics so she can repeat the same shit all over again, for good measure. She can keep this up for several hours at a time and when I say I have to go, she just keeps talking.

Fortunately she'll be moving to a different town in a couple of months, so I'll be able to ignore her calls without having to worry about her showing up at my house. I hope I can resist the urge to murder her until then.

Oh my fucking god, I hate people like that. Anybody who just talks to me non-stop about anything and everything, as if I give a rats ass. Never even shuts up long enough for me to get any word in edge wise. Was at work and this new guy just got hired, and I made the mistake of actually talking to him a little bit on break one time, he took that as I cared what he had to say about everything. And I use to hate it when the boss would have him working with me. Most of the time I would even try to make it look as if I was not that interested in what he was saying, and just doing the halfass polite thing of going 'yeah..', 'hmmm hmmm', 'right' at appropriate times just to feign that I was listening. Huge mistake.

Anyways I started getting really irritated by him and eventually just started walking away from every single time he came by, and just told him I was working and had shit to do. If it wasnt at work, or somewhere else where I would have to see the person every single day, then I would tell em I dont care and dont feel like talking then just continue on and ignore them. Sucks when its at work though, just that much harder to get rid of them without it getting around somehow that you're cold/rude.




When people try to show me pictures of their children. Sure if I was a kidnapper it might be useful to know what they look like, but since I am not I have absolutely no interest in your kids. Had this girl at work, she was pregnant for a while and then went on leave when she was getting close to being due, when she came back she was showing everybody pics of her baby. Well we were in the back and I was gettin my shit together getting ready to start work and she started to pull out her wallet and asked me if I wanted to see pics of her kid, and I jsut gave her a very simple and flat 'no, im good'. She didnt show any signs of taking it the wrong way, but I still always expect that and feel awkward afterwards, but whatev.

When people refuse to take responsibility for their actions.
When people make the same mistakes over and over again even after watching someone do the same thing before they go and do it.
When people cant use their eyes to see the answer that is right in front of them.
When people ignore reality and believe nothing is wrong.
When people spout off their problems or complain about every little thing.
When people cant accept the fact that no matter what they do or try will have no effect on what it is that they want to change.

I hate ignorance. But I hate it even more when people spread ignorance. I know a girl who doesn't know what a cervix nor a uterus is, nor why she bleeds during her period. AND she was telling people that if you pee after sex that you can't get pregnant.

General immaturity really.

Minor pet peeves:
I seek precision and it annoys me when others do not.
I hate when people do the "I want you to talk to me but I am not going to call for your attention, I'm just going to make sigh noises until you talk to me."
I strongly dislike it when others talk to themselves at just high enough of a level** for me to think they are talking to me and I have to stop what I am doing either in my head or hands and wait to be told that they were just talking to themselves.
** There's the I am talking normally level and the temporary I'm calling for someone level. They border just at the I'm calling for someone level.

wouldnt it be easier and less annoying to you to just be direct with the person? I dont see how they will ever get the point if you arent telling them.
No, it's impossible to reason with people like that. If they had an ounce of objectivity, they'd be able to see for themselves how inconsiderate their behavior is. When you inform them of it, they simply don't understand what you're saying and then there's a huge song and dance about it as they try to convince themselves of their utter blamelessness. It always ends up generating more discussion, not less.

I speak from experience.

I don't think it's a good idea that you posted that.

LOL i had no idea there were certain levels for talking to oneself. Also i am curious at the age of the girl.
She's 16 I believe.

you're surprised that at age 16 people are having sex? hell, it's only natural to start having sex at the age of puberty really. the only thing we have to blame for kids not really understanding sex, and knowing the true feelings or aspirations behind it, is not porn, its the fact that so many people are so incredibly uptight about it and kids are taught to be ashamed of their urges. and through all this they are stuck remaining ignorant on any sense of reality behind it, and getting all of their information from magazines and movies.

if it was treated more openly, without all the shame and guilt associated with it throughout their entire lives, then they would grow up wth it not being as big a deal as people like to make it out to be, and would actually be more aware of doing it safely and responsibly.

yes, but more specifically those that are as stupid as the one in BlueGiraffe's life. Yes, when i was in school there were pregnant 15 yr olds, that is not new, its just a surprise that its happening more often. I dont disagree that there should be communication about sex, STDs, pregnancy and abuse.molestation.

People who don't like kids :D

But seriously...

When people think they have to dumb things down for me. That's so annoying. I'd much rather they insult anything else. Insult my looks or my choices or anything, but do NOT insult my intelligence... morons.

It's really annoying when people poop in my coffee. I know, it's absurd right?

 
#44 ·
Yeah, as long as you saved the white ones though it's okay, for those are the holiest



I guess I should contribute to the thread while im here: People who eat my white gummy bears

-People who insist on handshaking, and believe that the handshake is a good way to determine character
-People who insist on invading my personal space (closer than arm's length) when standing and talking
-People who insist on ambiguous morals
-People who insist on existing around me

uhhh.. there's a special place in my planned torture cell for people who touch me when talking...

people who talk about boring topics in public transport (even better: on the phone).
people who apologize all the time.

I think I would still end up putting on headphones as even the sound of people suffering would disturb me. Although I could experience a quiet solace in knowing that a person is.....if that makes sense :p

But afterwards I would also have to kill the torturer for being one who takes pleasure in such things.

For me, gender stereotypes. Especially culturally-based ones proven with "science" and "evolution". I've traveled enough of the world to call bullshit on those.

I am female. I know how to park a car; I can read a map; I can do math. I don't have an obsession with shoes and shopping, and babies upset me. I'm not "biologically hardwired" to be anything any more than my hypothetical husband is "hardwired" to cheat on me (and I would hypothetically punch him for saying so).

Anytime someone brings one of those up, I try to shoot it down.

(this one doesnt annoy me, as I have been sayin yup since Ducky [who was the shit btw])

They ask unnecessary questions in sequence.
Do you mean, when they ask you directly for details about yourself, interrogation style?

I hate that too... I think it's because Ni makes us try to read people before asking them directly about anything. We gather clues and interpret them as we go along, to form a working hypothesis. Asking directly would seem almost like cheating.

And then other people (non Ni users, I presume) come along and ask all these direct questions, and it seems so rude. But I guess to them, it's just their way of getting to know someone. If it wasn't so annoying it would be funny.
