What is it that offends you?

Please let us know and if enough of us agree on one thing that offends us, we can start a national campaign to ban it.

Well put.

Not very much offends me but there is a whole lot that pisses me off.

No, I think I'd want that type of campaign banned, probably on a national level.

Stupidity. Moreso in myself than others.

simonjames · Apr 25, 2006, 10:14 PM

1. People who believe they are better than you. Eg senior management; High maintenance women from 'privileged backgrounds'; politicians; religious people

2. People who believe you don't know anything and your opinion is worthless. Eg senior management; politicians; religious people

3. People who push their agendas & ideas on other people. Eg senior management; politicians; religious people

4. People who are inconsiderate of others. Eg the pushy bee-actch driving the black Golf GTi who believes she has the right to push in a traffic queue (must be 50 of them living near me in Sydney)

and no, I am not an angry person who has issues with authority - far from it

People who make sweeping generalizations about groups of people to which they don't belong. e.g. athiests

TailsToo · Apr 25, 2006, 10:54 PM

Gas Prices.

middlemen
politics
lawyers
needless complexity
bad breath
hormones
gas prices
comb-overs
sarcasm
apathy

qnxde · Apr 25, 2006, 11:59 PM

hormones offend you?

Big Mac · Apr 26, 2006, 02:03 AM

Mactels. . . guess everyone knew that. . .

falsehood, deception, greed, socialism, fascism, willful ignorance and the like. . .

Kr0nos · Apr 26, 2006, 02:51 AM

Moral hypocrasy, 'backstabbers', religious fundamentalism, cowardice…

There is little that pisses me off more than people who point their fingers at others and lie about their intentions because they are too chickensh1t to stand up for what they believe (or say).

People who get out of control drunk, and let that be an excuse for why they do things.

You reading this Lyn? Yeah? Those office parties a bit too much for your drunk Irish ass? Sigh...

Webpages that resize and reposition my browser window.

Doofy · Apr 26, 2006, 08:29 AM

Ummm... Let's see...

• Socialists.
• Fascists.
• The UK Government (probably covered under the first two items, but hey, just to be on the safe side).
• In-your-face-screaming gays (such as those prone to go on rights marches or those prone to giving BJs in the middle of the high street to make a point). Be gay, just don't keep going on about it.
• In-your-face-screaming anybody, really. Like, shut your mouths hippies. And stop banging those bits of crap which you think are percussion instruments, you're just showing yourselves to be talentless cretins.
• Taxes.
• Speed limits.
• The nanny state.
• Not being able to own an MP7.

Now that I come to think of it: Didgeridoo players.

And mime artists. I hate mime artists. Learn the ****ing words.

Monique · Apr 26, 2006, 09:11 AM

Racist slurs like the one thrown at me; I have an accent and was told to go back to my country.

People spitting everywhere.

Stupid peole; like not knowing how to make a collect call directly which is 0-area code - phone number.

I'm offended when you're not even given that option, and the message immediately goes spanish.

the "everything/anything is appropriate" mentality of some people.

Jawbone54 · Apr 26, 2006, 11:06 AM

Federal income taxes
State income taxes
Property taxes
Inheritance taxes
Gas taxes
Price of DSL in my area
Wives of multi-millionaires who scream at drivers of SUVs who are getting out of their cars about not driving a more environmentally-friendly vehicle right before boarding her private jet which consumes more fuel in one flight than the SUV driver does in a year
Southern Louisiana politics
The imaginary separation of church and state spill
People who profess tolerance but hate Christians
Moral relavitism
Smoking
Drunk driving
Wreckless lawsuits which exploit the legal system
Microsoft
Morons who STILL profess there is no left-wing media bias

phantomdragonz · Apr 26, 2006, 11:42 AM

people who try and shove religion down your throat...

this is the U.S.A, dont try to make it mexico, try to learn english or leave!

People who dont use turn signals

SUV driving soccer moms who think they own the road (I will admit I dont like female drivers, most females SUCK at driving, although it's not true for all, just most)

people who drive too slow

parents who dont control their children (I work at a grocery store, pisses me off when the parent ignores when little tommy is messing up my displays and things!)

people who throw money on the counter when paying, HAND IT TO THE CASHIER DAMNIT!

PEOPLE WHO WRITE CHECKS AT THE REGISTER!!!! GET A FRICKEN DEBIT CARD! I would much rather you pay for a $0.30 candy bar with a debit card then pay for a $5 meal with a check! checks are for paying bills, not paying a cashier!

100% spot on, yes, yes, YES!

One thing that irks me is disrespect to waiters/cashiers/retailers. That includes letting your kid disrupt business, tear up merchandise, etc. And all the while the parent acts like it's not even happening. I'd hate to see this person's house.

Older women whip out the checkbook for EVERYTHING!
