I heard a child a few years below me shouting DO A BARREL ROLL on the walk home from school. My intention was to kill him but I grit my teeth and bore it.

To be fair, Starfox has just come back.

I think everyone knows that 13 year-old who talks in internet lingo.

I think everyone hates that 13 year-old.

STM 10-07-2011 09:41 AM

I hate most thirteen year olds except my brother and a few of his friends.

I only know one person between the ages of 5 and 17 and he's fucking awesome.

Well, them.

Embarrassments to minority causes in general. I am looking at you Chris Rock.

I hate how some teenage girls have to talk likesoveryfastyoucan'tunderstandwhattheyaresaying:words:
I have a sister so I know what i'm talking about :)

Okay so Its not 'uncool' but I'm still confused with is this a hate thread or not.

Those guys who use aspergers as an excuse to be dicks.

This. Kind of. I have a freind that apparently thinks that since he's aspergers, like a lot of the geniuses of the past, he will be a genius himself.

Also, people who think taking a week of martial arts training makes them badass. I've taken Tae Kwon Do for three years now, and I still try not to brag about it.

moxco 10-07-2011 07:10 PM

Following Spandexpants here. People who have done a week of German lessons and set German as a language spoken on Facebook.

Haha, THIS.

Double this. I ended up rethinking my position on atheism, not entirely based on these kinds of people, but they were a huge factor.

The My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series that for some fucking reason everyone is into.

I also find internet memes seriously uncool. The face memes especally.

It's like I know you from somewhere.

Oh yeah, you're me.


Okay so things that chuck my nuggets:

Delusional, uneducated conservatives. Because I'm into politics, my cup runneth over with them's.

My anxiety being so bad and my constant panic attacks preventing me from sleeping until all hours of the morning.

People who equate all feminism to "feminazis," To this day, I have never met a feminazi.

People who ignore the budding white supremacist movement in America in favor of the one or two individuals involved in the so-called New Black Panthers. Being super-focused on a group that wouldn't even exist if one guy were to get hit by a truck, and ignoring a real, growing threat.

Another thing that's been getting on my nerves recently is how deeply our culture has made dehumanizing little people acceptable. Like, to the point which not only is it normal to be fine with dehumanizing them, but where little people/dwarfs feel like the only work available to them is dehumanizing work.

That's been bothering me at least since I first saw Austin Powers. Not too much activism for it, that I've found.

Go watch Game of Thrones, gape with awe at how absolutely amazing Peter Dinklage is and how all the fanbase loves him for being by far the best actor on the show.

Oddey 10-08-2011 04:14 AM

My list goes on and on, but the more I think about what I find uncool, the more I wonder if it isn't just me who is an overly intolerent bastard.

But one thing which I think I can be intolerent about is people who borrow money from everyone, then never pay any of them back. Then if you ask about it, they just say something like "No don't worry, I get paid tomorrow, then you can have it" or "Hey, I don't owe you money" or "Why are you so desperate for it?" Even more annoying however, is when said person is always loaded with cigarettes, and other expensive crap, that apparently eats up all their money, so they have none left to pay you back.

I happen to be in the same class as this person. I luckily have yet to loan her anything at all. Even so, I find her irritating in a lot of other ways, so she's on probably everyone else's nerves as well.

It's not even a legitimate disorder, either. I always make sure to mention this when dealing with their insane shit.

Yes it is.

Dixanadu 10-08-2011 04:58 AM

So people who are simply assholes are mentally ill?

That's pretty much what Aspergers is.

hedjeroo 10-08-2011 04:59 AM

People who blame something on me and hold it against me and don't actually tell me they're doing so until I talk to them about how sorry I am that their life sucks right now due to something that isn't actually my fault.

On the other hand, I hate that I assume everything is my fault and I did something wrong initially. And similarly, how I assume people don't want me around and it's because they're discussing how much I suck.

To put it plainly, hate is just not cool, and neither's paranoia. :/
(Unless, of course, the thing that you're hating is also not cool, like that one guy who moved in to a student house in my stead and is making my so-called friends' lives shitty...)

You are mixing up aspergers with self-diagnosed-aspergers.

One of these is a real form of autism. The other is generally attention seeking.

moxco 10-08-2011 07:13 AM

It is controversially a form of autism. And anyway it is Autism Spectrum Disorder for a reason; most people who self diagnose themselves with autism are usually over-reacting but are probably somewhere on that spectrum.

Good god, I hope you're just trolling.

No, dude, it's not. I have Asperger's. I was diagnosed in 1998. It's a mild case, but it's there. Now, there are times when I literally can't tell if what I've said was rude, but for the most part I can, so if I'm an asshole, I don't blame it on the disorder, I'm just being an asshole.

There are people who claim it's the disorder making them rude, and here's the pisser: sometimes it is. However, it's easy to spot the legitimate claims from the bullshitters, and I guarantee you that as much as you despise the bullshitters, people with AS dislike them even more, mainly because they make the ones who actually HAVE AS look false.

I attend a program for people with autism at the moment, and NONE of them are "faking it" to "get away with being an asshole." Do some research on the disorder before you make such astoundingly ignorant comments.

Mudokon_Master 10-08-2011 07:15 PM

I fucking hate 13 year old kids on scooters, thinking they own the fucking streets.
Cutting off cars, blocking sidewalks, swearing and yelling loudly across the markets.
I sometimes really hope one of them get hit by a fucking car.

moxco 10-08-2011 11:47 PM

I fucking hate adults in cars, thinking they own the fucking streets.
Cutting off cyclists (like me), swearing and yelling loudly at cyclists for no apparent reason.
I sometimes really hope one of them get hit by a semi-trailer.

Nate 10-08-2011 11:51 PM

I'm a cyclist and I fucking hate other cyclists. Cutting off cars, sneaking up behind me and overtaking me without a warning ding, going through red lights (which I see all the time) and then bitching about the rudeness of cars who happen to be in the car lane and not expecting a bike there as well.

Mudokon_Master 10-09-2011 12:00 AM

I'm a pedestrian and I fucking hate seeing cyclists and car drivers all over the streets cutting eachother off, sneaking up on eachother, overtaking eachother, dinging their bells, causing accidents, swearing, yelling and bitching.

I agree. A a lot of cyclists are complete cocks on the road and give us all a bad name - namely the try hards in their Lycra and gelatine crotches. That, however is no reason to fuck with innocent cyclists.

DarkHoodness 10-09-2011 02:01 AM

Don't get me started on cycling - Though it's people who don't know how to use the damned roads that piss me off in general, no matter what vehicle they're controlling. Hell, some of them aren't even controlling a vehicle! As well as losing count at how many near misses I've had, I've also lost count of the amount of dipshits who've stepped into the road infront of me without paying attention. I'm just glad I've installed an air horn on my bike, it works wonders.

I still wish there was a way of separating cars from bikes here in the UK though, like they do on the continent. But I think I've rambled enough about that in other topics.

I need to pass my driving lessons soon, but I have a feeling I'm going to hate driving more than I hate cycling.

I think there's something wrong when someone over the age of 11 uses a scooter. I've seen people in my school that do it, and they're the same cunts who think they're the hardest kids in the area. If you want to make yourself look "tough" get a better vehicle or walk to school like the rest of us.

Yeah they are very annoying. Y'see some of them driving pass pulling wheelies acting fucking stupid. I really do wish they did get hit by a car.

Mudokon_Master 10-09-2011 03:15 AM

Scooters belong to 4 year olds :<
I wish the streets were a hatred-free place for me these days.

I've noticed that nearly 100% of the time when a chav is riding by me on a bike he will instantly pull a wheelie as soon as he gets in line with me. I really don't think they bother to do them when no one is around. I just don't look at them because it's unimpressive.

STM 10-09-2011 03:52 AM

^ When people do that to me, for some strange reason, there is a 50/50 chance they actually fall off and skid along the tarmac, or a 40/60 chance they fall off and then sorta collapse double over upside my leg. Then you have to fight the urge to kick them and actually help the dumb fuckers up. Arseholes.

And on the topic of scooters, fucking, fucking scooters, I know sixteen year olds that on occasion still come to sixth form on the bloody machinations, they. Are. For. Five year old's. End of story. with that being said when I get a go I fucking love them.

Dynamithix 10-09-2011 04:00 AM

Scooters? Like these?

Holy crap, don't people realize how dumb they look when they use something like that...

STM 10-09-2011 04:01 AM

Yeh like those, then again, some 50cc mopeds look equally as disastrous, you have to be really careful when you buy one so you don't look like a pizza delivery bloke.

Nate 10-09-2011 04:05 AM

All of this traffic discussion has reminded me about one of my major peeves, that absolutely no-one else (aside maybe from Taco and Cloverfield) will be able to relate to.


The company who runs our tram network recently spent millions putting these posters up around Melbourne, handing out fliers, and putting ads on TV warning people to be careful crossing the road and to look out for trams. It's a waste of fucking money, as people are generally careful crossing the road anyway, and if they're not careful when there are cars about, a campaign warning them about massive, loud, clanging monstrocities won't make much of a difference.

On the other hand, at least once a week I will see a car zoooooooming past a tram when it has its doors open and passengers are stepping out. In case you don't know, that is not only very dangerous, but it's blatantly illegal too. People get injured and killed all the time with that happening. But they don't put on any ad campaigns because when that happens it's the car driver's fault and not the tram company.

STM 10-09-2011 04:32 AM

I wish we had trams in London =(

DarkHoodness 10-09-2011 04:35 AM

You have the Croydon Tramlink and a semi-decent underground system. Tramlinks in London where space is limited would cause further gridlock.

Mudokon_Master 10-09-2011 10:41 PM

When I went to Melbourne, I got on a tram for the very first time and wasn't expecting for it to take off so fast. I wasn't even holding onto anything while I got sent down to the ground by the sheer force of it taking off.
I hate the things.

Dixanadu 10-10-2011 04:50 AM
