Things that bug you

[line6man]

There was a similar thread on the Warmoth forum a few months back.

Post the things that bug you.

Here is my list:
-Ugly guitars
-Musicals
-Telemarketers
-Pregnant women who smoke!
-Stupid people!!
-Slutty newscasters
-Sunburns
-Mustard algae growth in the pool
-Flies and Mosquitos
-The blue liquid they pour on Maxi Pads
-Artificial lawns
-Charmin's "pieces left behind" commercial
-Any toilet paper commercial
-Kathy Griffin
-Windows XP Automatic Updates popups that bug you to restart.
-Unibrows
-Conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists.
-People that actually believe conspiracy theories and religiously follow the conspiracy theorists.
-Speed bumps
-Sterile Hospital smell
-Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, and all that social networking crap.
-Hippies
-People that get anal about only being able to use certain gear for certain types of music, when any guitar will work fine in any genre if you have the creativity to do something different from everyone else.
-Fender decals on non-Fender instruments that are blatantly outside of Fender style specs.
-Waterslide decals ON TOP OF a finish! Geez, it goes UNDER the finish, otherwise it's a tacky looking sticker.
-Stripped screw heads
-Rusty guitar strings
-Nasty cat litter box!
-People that try to sell me stuff, even though i have a No Solicitors sign 2 inches above the doorbell.
-Music in which all of the life has been compressed out during the mastering process.
-Needing to email a file larger than my 10MB attachment limit.
-That godawful "Jelly Truck" nonsense video!
-Vegetarian animal lovers that won't eat beef, but are perfectly fine eating fish.
-The presence of an inlay on the first fret of a guitar/bass.
-Hot sauce that isn't as spicy as it claims to be. I should never have to use 3 or 4 teaspoons of hot sauce and still not be able to taste the spicyness.
-David Spade!
-Outrageous shipping costs on inexpensive or small parts.
-Spammers and Scammers
-Payday loans! They are freaking everywhere these days. If you can't afford to pay you bills now, how are you going to pay them all the interest you're going to owe? Not a financially responsible move...
-Jennifer Aniston!
-Swimmers ear
-Hiccups
-People that carelessly use entirely different terms interchangeably, like coil split/coil tap, fingerboard/fretboard,input jack/output jack, etc...
-Making accidental spelling errors that can't be changed.
-People that only drink fancy expensive bottled water brands.
-When people somewhere in the world are stealing the username that you have been using for many years, and you can't have your username on a website because it's already taken...
-The laughter of children
-FreeCreditReport.com commercials, and freaking douchey Eric Violette!
-When your cell phone gets too close to some speakers and you get that godawful noise
-The McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" slogan!
-The noise you hear when you walk into a Guitar Center
-Newscasters that constantly bat their eyes to look sexy
-When the credits to a movie scroll down insanely fast so that you cannot read a single word unless you pause it and play it in slow motion
-Man boobs
-Tiger Woods Gatorade. Gatorade is for hard working athletes, golf is not a demanding sport, you stand in the sun all day and swing a club at a ball. You don't even do any walking because the golf cart moves you around so you don't have to walk.
-Nancy Grace going on about the same story again and again every 2 minutes on her show.
-Graffiti defacing public property.
-Commercials for Vagisil, Midol, Maxi-Pads, Tampons, vaginal birth control rings, and other female products that should be of a private nature.
-That commercial for skin lotion, where the old woman squirts the lotion on her legs and rubs it on her skin.
-Commercials for Rice Krispies that try to be all heartwarming and precious
-Eating or drinking something, only to find that it has been sweetened with Splenda. Nasty chemical crap!

People who complain about the rain. This state is in a drought. Everyone should be very glad for the rain.

I don't see anything wrong with them. But I'm of the opinion that society should be more sexually open, not less.

-People that leave their Christmas lights up all year

You try putting up and getting down our Christmas lights. It's a real pain in the ass, and pretty dangerous besides. Eventually we plan to rig up a pulley system, but for now, they stay up all year. We don't turn them on except in December, though, as that would be tacky.

Line6man...one word for you:

Xanax

[line6man]

You guys do realize that this was a couple of months worth of stuff combined into a big list, not just things that are bugging me today, right?

i would sure hope so, buddy

[shadowtippy]

You left off: People who drive on the freeway with their turn signal on. It should be legal to shoot them. (IMO)

Slutty newscasters?
The laughter of children?

Really? If anything this world needs more sluts, especially the semi-classy type that get to be newscasters. I also firmly believe that children's laughter can cure cancer.

It doesn't say in your profile but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are a card-carrying member of the AARP.

Ha!
I'm just an extremely serious person. (Outside of the internet that is.)

I prefer my news to be very formal, and I'm not a fan of children, but that point was half-serious actually.

Slutty newscasters make the world go round

I'm of the opinion that some people need some bigger fish to fry.

[rap138]

Kat von D? c'mon, she is hot, annoying but hot.

[Murder_Worship]

morning breath
when my tim hortens cup is TOO hot
the bottom of drinks
when hair elastics break
not having any moola

[MatticusMania]

People who flag my legit craigslist ads...

I just need some strippers to work at strpfest dammit!

[Solarmist]

When I'm going good down the road a bit over the limit, and some mini van or old people car pulls out in front of me, and goes slow

[Ground Pounder]

I picked three of the worse ones I could think of:

1) When we go grocery shopping, drop hundreds of dollars (wife, kids, dogs, etc.), and something cheap and terrible like hot dogs or frozen chicken strips hit the table at dinner time. I just spent half my week earning that money! Make me a f$#&in pork chop or something!

2) When our sales manager knows something is a non-stocking item, and calls me to get a quote from a vendor, knowing damn well he can't sell the entire quantity we have to buy. Guess who's responsible a year later when we've got the balance of a non-stocking item in inventory? That's right, it's ME MO#$(&^%#*ER!

3) Anti-home team sports fans. Like those guys who always cheer for the rival. The guy that was a Colorado Avalanche fan in '98 - now he's cheering for the Penguins. He wore his Bulls jersey in High School - now he's backing the Cavs. And he has the audacity to wear an Ohio State hoodie to my house for a saturday poker game in the fall. F-U BUDDY!
