Know what I hate?

[DarkNinja13]

This is the first topic I've ever started and I'd like to keep it from getting locked so please keep comments neutral so we can sound off on something and not worry about anybody getting in trouble for it. The other point of this is some things are just not rant worthy for the rant thread. Keep it general - no singling people out, okay?

 

So to begin....

 

I hate...how some people feel the need to drive only 55 MPH (80 KPH) in a 75 MPH (120 KPH) zone - especially when I am trying to get somewhere on time. :verymad:

Im the most hateful person on this blessed site, so I shall do the honours of first rage.

 

Ya know what I hate? This guy. He pulls up next to me at the lights on my way home. Im in a 1974 Ford Falcon coupe, fully restored. A true and proper sports car in all it's glory, complete with a 366 horsepower V-8. This FOOL! of a teen pulls up to me in a Hyundai Excel, which is a three cylender South Korean ECO from about 15 years ago.

 

My Falcon is aestheticaly standard, save for metallic midnight blue paint, and charcoal stripes. His Excell had 19 inch mega rims, an exhaust pipe like a tank's cannon, a metre tall rear wing, and underglow. Wanna race dude? he hollers. I give a noncommital grunt. I actualy do race IRW, I've got a CAMs licence and actualy do a bit of track racing, but I always keep to the rules off the track.

 

He blasts away from me about as hard as his feeble car can manage, but foolishly keeps on blasting. He runs a red light, and reached about 90 KM/h in a 50 zone. I rejoin him at the next set of lights along, he calls me a "*kittie kittie*" for not taking up the challenge, and then a cop car pulls up next to him and two burly cops drag him out of the car. BUSTED! I had as I'd driven down the street SENSIBLY, seen their car waiting at the lights midway along, he hadnt. OWNED!

I had the feeling Vindekarr would be one of the first posters here...haha.

 

One thing I really hate regarding driving are people who signal and turn at the same time. What's the purpose of signalling if you are just going to turn whenever you please?

[Luminiari]

I hate this one ridiculously placed pedestrian crossing near my place of work. It comes off an apparent main road (that's only two lanes wide... one each way) into a pokey little cul-de-sac right next to the train station. And the crossing is RIGHT on the intersection. Which means that if someone wants to turn into the cul-de-sac, and someone's walking on the crossing, ALL the traffic gets held up for al LEAST twenty metres.

 

If they moved the crossing a little further down into the cul-de-sac, it wouldn't be a problem. But noooooooooooooooooo...

 

Also, I hate CityRail S***tyFail.

[AliasTheory]

Oh, another thing I hate. People who act like they own the crosswalk when they are using it. I understand that the car supposed to yield, but COME ON. Some people take their sweet old time crossing the road. I'm still waiting for you to cross at least halfway, people are getting mad and you are talking on the phone or texting.

[ub3rman123]

Random strangers I hate:

1. People who can't control their screaming kids. Don't act like you don't know them, lady!

2. Anyone who wears a hat backwards to be cool. It defeats the purpose of the bill on a hat!

3. Anyone who wears a hat backwards to be 'ironic', or wears anything to be ironic for that matter.

4. People who wear those silly band things and believe it makes them better than everyone else. I see someone wearing those things and my mind instantly thinks 'shallow and materialistic'.

5. People who ask me the time every 5 minutes.

6. Someone who thinks that managing to pass you on a road makes them better than you.

7. People who swerve just to prevent others from passing them.

[Vindekarr]

Stupid is only made worse when it think it's being smart.

 

My overall biggest hate right now is treehuggers. Violent sociopathic zealots from a nature firts cult recently ransacked my property.

 

I feel great pride for what I drive. I've got two cars, a Crysler Valiant and a Ford Falcon, both are from the mid 1970s, I bought them as scrap, and then did the fairly minor replacement work needed to fix them. Both these cars have very large engines, but they're also exceedingly powerful, and only use a fraction of that power to go anywhere. I actualy get great mileage out of them both, sure, they're a 351 and a 440 cubic inch low tech V8 them both, but they get to highway speed so easily, and maintain highway speed so easily, they actualy use less power than my cousin's Prius.

 

However, some people are idiots, They piously drive eco cars and bash on anyone who drives anythign more noble. A fat teenage girl once ran a key down the custom paintwork of my other car. It's my racer. As some of you know I actualy do a bit of amatuer racing. Anyway this fat pig of a girl ran a key down the paintwork, then smashed in the windscreen with a brick and slashed the tires, and set about graffiti-respraying my house. I woke up, caught her in the act and phoned the police, then went out for some vigilante justice.

 

She called me something so foul I cant mention it here, and said that "environment killing ***s like me should all be shot" and that "mother nature commands respect, capitalist filth" I told her that I was actualy doing dear old mummy nature a favour, by eating red meat, driving a car that can hit 60 MPH without straining the engine and burning forests of fossil fuels. I also said that the CO2 bilgewater she'd just spouted had done damage to nature itself. She tried to punch me in the face. Just as the police arrived. Now, I'm an arrogant jerk who really doesnt give a damn about nature. But those who actualy commit violence and destroy property to underline that they are sociopathic eco-terrorists, are beyond arrogant, beyond mere criminal .

 

I hate every single damn one of them. Because as someone who is looking after two historical relics, when some IDIOT decides to actualy vandalise my property for not driving an electric car, I WILL hate, and I WILL take my own bloody vengeance. Hel commands respect a lot more than nature does.

i hate getting a piece of popcorn stuck in my teeth

@Vindekarr

Wow. Simply wow.

Techincly you are helping the environment. You take scrap cars and make them run. Which is kinda like reusing.

I don't hate every single person who wants to protect the environment I just hate those who push everyone to do it.

[Kazakovich]

I shouldn't ask myself this, really. If I put all down on a list, I'd be set for life when it comes to potential emergency toilet paper. But 'ere we go in no particular order.

 

Bus drivers who plonk you off in the middle of nowhere in order to knock off work early.

Lawyers who use the 'She dressed inappropriatly/she's a tart anyway, am I right, fellas?'-defence.

Stabbing myself with my pencil down the pocket.

Math education, in any form.

Wasps who can't grasp the concept of personal space. Cigarette smoke tend to help here.

Neo-Nazis and anyone else connected to this cult that should have rotted along it's makers.

Intoxicated drivers. And drivers on drugs. And on the phone. Oi! I'm passing the street here, and I'd leave quite a dent on your bonnet!

Overzealous phone salesmen.

Fernet Branca.

Most people who find a certain pride in avoiding expostion to knowledge.

Babies in cafés.

Holocaust denialists.

Illegal taxi drivers who won't take 'no' for an answer. They can't wait to drive me off to the backwaters and mug me.

Seagulls.

Paper cuts.

Hackers.

Quite a few teenagers.

Sticky floors.

 

Aaaaand lots of other things I can't think of now, but will be reminded off at some point...

 

Of course, hate IS an exceedingly powerful word. Perhaps some kind of scale would have came in handy. :P
