What pisses you off about everyone?

I like homemade stuff, very entertaining.

The problem, as I see it can be summed up as there being a lack of balance between two extremes; one based on ignorance, the other on stupidity.

1. Ignorance. People who have no clue who they are, or why they do the things they do. They fall into any number of pitfalls of destructive behavior, and havent gotten the first notion of what to do about it. At some point "Who am I?" should have crossed their mind.

2. Stupidity. People who know their type, and totally missed the boat on what to do with it. They consider their four letter designator as a definition of who they should be. They treat every stereotypical trait as if it were some checklist that must be completed, and seek to prove daily they are XXXX to the max. Instead of using the knowledge learning how to avoid the pitfalls mentioned in situation 1 - which is what they should be doing.

People in category one can be forgiven and educated. We all start somewhere.

People in category 2 give others of their type a bad name, and should be drug out into the streets and shot.


Thanks for indulging my little mini-rant.

Please share your thoughts, and feelings.

by #2, do you mean stupidity or do you mean personal underdevelopment and/or immaturity? for me it's the latter. (and i apologize if i'm quibbling over semantics.)

i find that what pisses me off most in other people usually happens to me IRL: passive-agressiveness, cattiness (and not just from women), zero-sum thinking, duplicitousness, smug self-righteousness. somehow i don't see as much of it online, or i can write it off: "meh, crazy people." but in person, these things make me rage.

how do you deal with your anger IRL? do you manifest it outwardly? i handle it better on some days than on others...unfortunately, i tend to let it build up until it explodes. i've had some mini explosions recently and i hated how unsettled i felt/feel. which brings me to:

thank you for introducing me to this; i'd never heard of this before but it's awesome. it's helped me immensely over the past few days.

When people see other people as concepts, instead of as real people.

I do it too. haaaaaaa. It's hard to NOT do, after all.

Okay I'll go, I get pissed when

People stand infront of you and overexplain themselves to you

When my coworker actually is covinced that he is my Dwight Shrute

When people interrupt me, UNLESS it is a female I have strong interest in. THEN BY ALL MEANS, INTERRUPT ME WHENEVER YOU WANT, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I MEAN IT!

They're imperfect.
I am too.

They do not accept perceived imperfection in others.
Just like I have a hard time with it.

They envy people who do 'seem' perfect.
Hm.

It's beautiful to see us being critical, but at the same time, where's the line between being supportive and destructive? Or just letting it be?

Either way, when deciding to cope, I believe love is a good substitute.
Mh.

I'm a very cynical person most of the time. So everything.

In one single word - Sin

My TFA's about this topic? The number one thing that really pisses me off about other people even as a kid is conformity. Especially, the type of conformity where people are mean-spirited and sheepish.

I even hate it when someone follows me just to follow.

I don't mind the type of conformity where people rebel and stand up for others- bra burning, chucking bottles at the police and all. j/k :)

Here's a very specific thing that pisses me off.

When you're walking on a sidewalk (or in a grocery store or wherever) and the group of people in front of you just...stops. So they can talk and regroup or whatever. They block the path and appear to be oblivious to what they are doing. I guess it's due to being very unaware? Everybody seems to do this.

Lol... I guess it would be the way people respond to it when things are at their worst, or routine and structure goes out the window. Some people really know how to revolve everything around how many stories they hear everybody keeps up with and neglect duties they hold others to like sticking to what they say. Oh well if they get dethroned when others realize their potential or that they have independence of thought while left to their own devices. :) Yet there are plenty who get to know others and don't let a person's life at the moment cloud how they treat them who get ostracized for it and not many people will do a damn thing. Fitting in is ok if people just happen to get along really well and have values in common but it gets tiring watching some people make fools out of themselves trying to be all things to all people.
