Things that annoy you

Blowhards who brag about being "brutally honest," but are wrong about 90% of the time.

They apparently don't know the meaning of the word "discretion," and they never do any meaningful research before spouting off. These loudmouths tend to get really quiet and disappear (especially online) when proven wrong, though.

Equally annoying are the enablers who applaud the blowhards for being "straight-shooters." How can they be "straight-shooters" when they consistently miss the mark?
Oh man, there are not enough likes in the world for this one. The Internet really enables these types. They sometimes just ignore the meaningful subtleties of a situation in order to make the most brazen/aggressive statement possible, 'cause that gets them attention.

Oh man. Someone is on to my schtick.:bag:
 
People telling me I am wasting money when I change the blade on my razor for each and every single shave knowing I pay $26.00 for 100 blades: .26 a blade. I can buy other that are .15 a blade. OMG that is so expensive; same people are smokers and they are telling me I am wasting money. WHATEVER!
 
When you admit to someone that you have not, strangely, experienced the same theme park/movie/book/cookie/country that they have, and they turn it into an opportunity to make it drama.

It goes like this:
Them: Have you ever eaten a burger at Joe's?
Me: No, I haven't.
Them: YOU'VE NEVER EATEN A JOE'S BURGER????????!!!!!!!!!! REALLY? NEVER??????

or....
Them: Have you seen the new Star Wars film?
Me: No, I haven't.
Them: YOU HAVEN"T SEEN THE NEW STAR WARS FILM???!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!! REALLY?????!!!!

I believe I'd answered the question already.

How about people replying to a question by repeating the question.

I hooked my KRK Rocket 6's up to my computer. (Nicer sound than the Audio Engines...which are a bit smaller). KRK's had been sitting downstairs for some time.

Logged onto YouTube...turned the speakers on ...and there was "hum" bigtime from some source.

Was I annoyed? YES!!!!!!! I was livid!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::spit::spit::spit::spit::spit::spit::spit::spit::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::vomit::vomit::vomit::vomit::vomit:

So I got a Hum-X hum destroyer from my parts collection and inserted it into the power bar..then inserted a 3 way tap into that...and then inserted the KRK power plugs into that.

Now the hum is All GONE!!!!.......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: :smug::smug::smug::D:D:D:D:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
