Memery again?

[flewellyn]

I suppose I'm having more fun creating memeish things than participating in other, prefabricated ones.

So, here we go.

Make a top ten list of things that people do which annoy you.

Answer in comments! :-)

Hmm... here we go. Fun fun!

1) Male superiority complex (smirking, condescending, argumentative asshole behaviour).

2) Disagreement by reflex. eg. foreach(statement_heard) { statement_heard.viewpoint.oppose(); }

3) Brandishing utter ignorance as though it were a shield against all evil (many managers do this, as do certain traditional types of women who seem to believe that it is appealing to refuse to learn to wire a plug or delete email even on the fiftieth consecutive day of asking).

4) People who turn up six hours late every single time and provide some terrible explanation about shopping or emailing, when the truth is closer to 'I went to a mate's house to watch the footie, since my mate is more interesting than you are plus I know you're too apathetic to yell at me'.

5) People who ignore me for several years running and then walk up to me going, 'Hi, how's it going? Incidentally, I was wondering if you could - well - my computer seems to be broken, and I was thinking... you like fixing PCs, right?'

6) The willingly gullible in search of a sensation, five second attention span, soundbite types.

7) Tories (traditional British conservatives) and perpetual Microsoft-is-my-friend hyper-capitalist I Scratch Their Backs And They Will Some Day Scratch Mine delusionists.

8) People who eat with their mouths open and drink like ancient plumbing.

9) People who visit my house, rearrange my stuff, read my correspondence and eat the chocolate Easter eggs from my fridge because 'I clearly didn't want it', in the clear knowledge that I am too apathetic to yell at them for it.

10) Those who fall asleep in the middle of watching movies, talking or in the pub - in your company - but miraculously manage to stay awake when other people are also at the event. Those who merely find movies boring, like my mother, are excused on the grounds that sleeping no matter the company is egalitarian...

and of course, 11) People who complain about other peoples' behaviours on yet other peoples' livejournal comments :-)
