I live in Fountain Hills, AZ, which is a posh town. Most of the people are cool, but you have some jerks that do such things. I do not like to mess with other's things, but if you mess with mine - you have called down the thunder...:frankiemad:

More power to you, dude. I do the same thing, though I tend to be less inclined to be vengeful about my stuff and more inclined to go after those who mess with the people who matter to me. You hurt my friends, you pay the price, and the bill will be steep.

Three things you DO NOT MESS with:

1. My family (my fiancee is included in this)

2. My guitars

3. My car

You wanna know what really ticks me off? Well, I'm seventeen-years-old, so I work in a pet store. And because I'm only seventeen-years-old, the customers think they can walk all over me. And not only that...what really grinds my gears is when customers try to come in after closing. Like yesterday night. We were so lucky to actually not get any customers for the last 10 minutes that the store was open. Usually, we get, like, tons of people 5 minutes before closing, because they had better things to do all day, I guess. Well. I turned off the OPEN sign, shut down the registers, and brought my money drawer into the office. I was punching out and making conversation with my manager when this lady is knocking on the window. I look at her and she mouths to me, "Can I just get one thing?" I said, "Sorry, we're closed." She replies, all taken aback, "You already shut down the registers?!" I replied, "Yes, we did. Sorry." She goes back into her car and Andrew (my manager) lets me outside and the lady is just glaring at us from her car. Andrew actually let her into the store after that. Okay. What is so important about this lady that we have to open up the store after we have already closed just so she can shop for pet food? Seriously, I'd like to know just what she was doing all day that she couldn't show up to the pet store until after 9pm, and couldn't run to TOPS or something to get dog food. People. Ugh.:jk:

idril 01-30-2007 12:34 PM

lol ok. ive got some.

1. when ive used some milk/juice/whatever and theres still just a little bit left in the container. it really annoys me when i have to decide whether to put it back or just use the rest.
2. when people say "should of". AAAAUGGRRRGHgjklffdkdml,v.c.
3. when people treat their dogs like people. especially in the aspect of training, such as coming home and punishing their dog for pooping on the floor, just assuming they'd remember something that happened an hour ago.
4. when people start sentences like "my grandma, she went to the store" instead of "my grandma went to the store".
5. when people think randomness is funny like PURPLE POLKA DOTTED LLAMAS!!!!!!!!! ITS JUST STUPID OK.
6. when people claim ownership over fictional characters like WILT IS ALL MINE or NARUTO IS MINE etc. etc.
7. when people have really confusing license plates. sometimes ill be trying to figure out what someones license plate means for a long long time.
8. people who breed their pets 'just because' or 'their puppies/kittens will be really cute'
9. when my cat walks all over my stomach when i really have to go to the bathroom.
10. when my corgi walks like really slowly in front of me.

Imaginary Light reminds me of another one: when you refuse to do something for a customer because its against store policy; and then your boss goes and does it for them.

I'll admit "Do you want me to rub some honey on your thighs?" really amused me, but why are there all these crappy comedians now?

Here's another one: when you go to the Myspace or blog of someone who's died, and there are comments like:

"Rest in Peace for you and your sister. I know this is a little late lol sorri ^^;"

.....what's really sad is that that's a copy-and-pasted example.

SkittleMonkey 01-30-2007 04:02 PM

Something else I don't like. When little ten-year old kids throw something at you on purpose, so when you pick the thing up and say you're keeping it, they try to sound all threating, and are like, "Hey, you better give that back!"...Actually, that's just annoying...that and "Fergalicious". (or however you spell it)

The spelling freak in me wants to cry and throw things when I hear that song. THE WORD "TASTY" DOES NOT HAVE AN E IN IT!

Jabberwocky 01-30-2007 04:57 PM

Those chain bulletins on myspace that say if you don't repost them a porcelain doll with one eye will come out of the drain and kill you when you shower.

And when people actually repost them.

AHHHHHHH

because, nobodys been really good because they know they cant live up to the guys of old, like carlin.

one more thing: when something is sold out at the only market in 20 miles that has what i want. or worse, when they pack up and leave. i just havent been the same since toys r' us left our local place about a year ago :(

Voxxyn 02-01-2007 01:21 PM

The entire process of having to activate an internet forum/site account via email pisses me off to no end. Always have, and always will.

I know it's basically the standard for nearly all message boards. I still hate it. It's stupid and annoying. There should be less-intrusive ways to achieve internet security. :herriman:

Howard 02-01-2007 02:00 PM

Here is a good one:

When you have been waiting in line at the checkout at the grocery store, and you have a fair amount of groceries. Then some idiot comes up behind you with ONE item! Then he has the nerve to say, "I just have a stick of butter, can you let me in ahead of you?":frankiesmile:

Never say "Yes". If you do, the idiot will invariably try to pay for the dang butter with an out-of-state check that needs to be cleared by the store manager who is currently at the far end of the parking lot and walking with crutches because he slipped on a stick of that exact same brand of butter the day before. :P

Here's something that ticks me off, it's never happened before and it probably doesn't happen often but it DID happen tonight. I was coming out of the movie theater today after I saw "Smokin' Aces", it's cold and snowy over here btw.

My car had snow crap on the windows and doors and what do I see when I get to my parking spot? Some jack ass is finger writing a F U message lined with numerous other insults in my snowy windows because I parked my car too close to his.

He told me I should watch the next time I park my car in "F%$#ing sardine can parking spot". I actually CAUGHT him as he was doing this in front of his girlfriend in his car, watching him do it. I admit I've parked in tight spots before but this was NOT one of those times and either way, it still bugged me.

Why he doesn't just park somewhere else instead of snow writing curse words on my car window is beyond me.

Showing off for his girlfriend, I suspect. Still a rotten thing to do, regardless. :P

id use the magical power of maybe a knife or something else to scratch up his car. he has it coming.

rukift 02-03-2007 10:57 AM

Right now the only thing that ticks me off is my math class.

My real beef is with the teacher, she's just so irritating and always puts the class down by saying how we should already know this and how bad our grades are. She's also always putting me on the spot, making me feel like a real teacher's pet. "You all bombed the test, except for breezy, who was the only one who got an a..." she'll say, after pretty much everything we take. She also emphasizes it when I get a problem wrong and just has to shout it out to everyone... what's she trying to prove to the class about me? -_- Even when she's praising me, it feels bad because it's like she's using me to ridicule the rest of the class.

I'm just so glad I've only got one more year of this ><;;

Partymember 02-04-2007 08:21 AM

i wish rugby, cricket, and football got more coverage in the states

antgirl1 02-04-2007 08:40 AM

You know what really grinds my gears?

It's when people create characters, and put them in a fanfiction, just so that character the person made up can be the boyfriend/girlfriend of a character that already exists in the show.

EXAMPLE: OC/Wilt.

But what makes me scream like Tak (Irken from Invader ZIM) is also, instead of creating a character for above, INSERTS oneself into the story, for the SAME EXACT reason above. To be the boyfriend/girlfriend of an existing character on a show.

Those things make me blow over.

Yep, me too. Gave up LOTR fanfics for that same reason. It's even worse when they all go for the SAME GUY!::)

*Sheepishly raises hand* :-[

I sadly have to admit that I am guilty of doing this. I wrote a fan fic called "Kei to my heart" years ago on the anime "Dirty Pair Flash", and in it, I created a sort of love interest/boyfriend character for the butch, but lovely red headed member of the duo, Kei.

I always loved Kei and I always felt bad that like most short animes (OVAs), they never last long enough to resolve things or get the chance to give characters a more or less happy ending. So I have to admit I have done this before, mostly out of my own fan boyish love and charms to the character.

I'm also creating a similar (though more serious) story like this for Sailor Moon, this one I feel deserves to be written because it's about the one sailor scout I have always loved and has always gotten short changed by the show: Sailor Jupiter.

SkittleMonkey 02-04-2007 10:44 AM

Well, the Gary Stus don't annoy me, as they're not as overdone as Mary Sues, so you're good with me. ^_^m Yesh, I'm VERY particular about these kinds of things. I myself prefer to write original stuff.

Mr. Marshmallow 02-04-2007 10:50 AM

Since were on the topic of things that tick people off in Fan fics, here's something that kind of bugs me alot:

People who give fan fics like 50 bazillion reviews and totally love it, when the author puts little REAL effort into creating original stories or titles and when authors try their hardest to make original titles, they get barely any reviews.

People who write fics like "Martin discovers her secret" get hundreds of fans, where someone who actually tries to write stories about OTHER things then character love relationships, get barely a hand full. That really aggravates me.

that's interesting coming from you.
making an OC that is Wilt's TWIN is not much different.
but i do agree.

I know. Gen fics pretty much get ignored and romance ones get a hojillion reviews.

You know what ticks me off? Another phone-related one -- when you're talking to someone on the phone and suddenly they're like, "Hey, here's my baby brother" or "Hey, here's my dog" or "Hey, here's my roommate you've never met" and just randomly give the phone to someone else and you have to make awkward small-talk with them.

SkittleMonkey 02-05-2007 04:19 AM

Oh my gosh. My older brother does that to me all the time when he talks to his friends! It's the most annoying thing ever!

My aunt does that all the time. She gives the phone to her two-year-old kid, and so for the next ten minutes, all you hear is silence, which is interrupted by intermittent wet, goo goo gaa gaa, baby-type noises.

Voxxyn 02-05-2007 03:23 PM

You know what I REALLY hate? Car-skidding sounds from outside the house. They are VERY sudden, VERY loud and ALWAYS distract my concentration from whatever I'm doing. And they always give me the impression that some horrible car crash will happen. Grrrrrrr. :frankiemad:

CG 02-05-2007 03:50 PM

What ticks me off in...

Fanfics
OC's most definately. When it's a character that LOOKS just like an already existing character but with a colour change, or something totally unorigional purposely created to be a twin/lover/long lost something or other just to add drama to a fandom that either has ENOUGH drama or doesn't need it. Plus the way some people type, very little quality yet goes on for chapters and getting nowhere.

Fanart
Basically someone who can't draw good at all draws a highly popular character with little substance, or meaning, and gets a million or so comments and favourites. But someone who draw something far more interesting to look at, gets little attention. Fandom runs art, unfortunately.

DA
When already popular artists have a piece claimed as a Daily Deviant, bringing more pageviews and watchers then they know what to do with. Plus the nudity that goes on there.

Chatrooms
The insanity that unlocks itself. Sometimes a member in the chatroom wants to do just that, chat, but it's when role plays, character inserts, doom songs, and multiple unending quotes of popular shows take over, that's when I get sick of chatrooms and long for the days of my AIM. Oh how I miss my internet.

Myself
I tick myself off a lot. If I were more easy going, more fun, maybe I wouldn't be treated like a bomb that's close to exploding like I normally am. I wish I didn't take such offence to some statements made not only in the chatroom, but elsewhere on the internet. But alas. I can't change how I feel, and how I am not afraid of stating how I feel. Ah well.

Cassini90125 02-05-2007 04:00 PM

I agree with everything you just said ('cept Point #5; you've never ticked me off. :) ) Frankly, I don't know which of the other four irritates me most. The part about the chatroom is particularly aggravating at the moment; from what I've been hearing lately, it sounds like it's a real kindergarten in there sometimes. Small wonder I don't go in there, but I'm beginning to think that maybe I should. :mad:

Partymember 02-05-2007 05:16 PM

when my friends call at 12 totally drunk...last night, for example.

Logan: "HEY DUDE....dude....hahaha..."

Me: "...you're drunk, aren't you?"

Logan: "Yeah dude...hahaha...Nick n' me just downed like, 5 screwdrivers,BIG #%$& screwdrivers, man, f$%@&*# crazy, man...DUDE! Come over, man!"

Me: "I'd like to get some sleep, if its all the same to you."

Logan: "Nooooooo! Come over man, you can sleep here!"

6 minutes of trying to convince him not to call back at 3, i finally hung up. NOT COOL! Really, really funny, but NOT COOL!

I agree perhaps not riveting conversation when babies.

But babies grow up ~ my nephew is 2 1/2 & is hilarious to chat with on the phone. :D
