Someone asked me once, ‘Are you a misanthrope?’ And I said, ‘No, I just find people irritating.’
~Craig Kilborn (Paraphrased)
Some like to use the term “Pet Peeves” to describe things they do not like, some like to use the term annoyed, but for me, certain things are just downright bucketloads of irritating crap that simply piss me off. I am sure some will take offense at some of these, but then that irritates me as well.
Here are 50, but it would take volumes to complete a proper list:
~ Cameras at sporting events constantly looking for so-called ‘celebrities,” especially for a dolt and her sidekick (think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce)
~ Celebrities giving political advice–giving any advice or attempting to speak intelligently!
~ Commercials showing so-called everyday life with every ethnicity possible (except white
people)
~ Stupid people (consider this a constant)
~ Voters
~ Elections
~ Politicians
~ Political yard signs
~ Men pretending to be women
~ Non-chivalrous men
~ Rudeness
~ Transgender anything
~ Slogans on automobiles
~ Wearing pajamas in public
~ Messy, unclean slobs
~ People who think wearing ripped up clothing with holes everywhere is fashionable
~ Body-covering tattoos from head to toe (especially women)
~ Metallic facial and body mutilating piercing (except earrings)
~ ‘Smart’ people who cannot get over being stupid
~ Political promises
~ Addiction to a cell phone where one’s face (and brain) is perpetually locked on the screen
during every activity
~ Sequels (except classic James Bond movies)
~ Not getting a thank you or thank you wave
~ When someone posts your personal information or pictures on social media without my permission
~ Lying–all lying
~ “God bless America” and “God is on our side”
~ Religious fanatics preaching that everyone has to agree with them
~ Dependent cowards
~ Masculine-deficient men
~Men hugging (redundant)
~ The F-word used as verb or adjective in every sentence
~ Hypocrisy and contradiction
~ Rap, especially if loud, crude, and nasty
~ Managers and all feigned authority
~ Gossip
~ Nosy people who do not mind their own business
~ Tattle tales
~ Brown-nosing
~ Asking me for the solution to fix the world
~Asking me for any solution to fix other’s problems
~ Victimization mentality
~ Anyone offended by simple words
~ Anyone offended by words who expect retribution or compensation
~ The very mis-used term “Racism”
~ The idiotic term “Antisemitic”
~ Loud-talking dumbasses
~ All controlled opposition to real freedom and anarchy
~ Star-Spangled Banner and Flags
~ Nationalism and fake ‘patriotism’
~ The thought that I may be irritating while writing about things that irritate me!
Well, there you have it. My short list of things that irritate the hell out of me.
I am striving to become a more positive person, a person with feelings for others, a person who wants to be liked, a man who can entertain the thought of the idiotic notion of the ‘greater good,’ but when I woke up this morning, I was positive that most human beings are assholes, so I ran with it! Sarcasm after all, is the essence of a life fulfilled and enjoyed.
