People who don't know how the Constitution works, and make statements based on their ignorance. Like people who say criticizing the President is treason (it's not, it's not illegal at all), or the people who after the 2016 election demanded Obama nullify the results and call a new election. It doesn't work like that at all.

In other words, they're Kindergardeners who think being president means "I get to do whatever I want".

Customers who haggle.

Like, jesus christ almighty, I am so sorry our prices are too high for you, that you've already spent 9/10's of your paycheck on shit you don't need and now you can't afford our special offers. Or are you actually just saying that you deserve to pay less because you're "you" and that every shop should bend over backwards to kiss your ass and charge you less then everyone else. Or are you saying our stuff is shit and it's not worth the price tag.
Fuck off, you don't like our prices, find someplace else that does them better. And when you can't and you come back, remember to bring some manners. Fuck

It depends on what you're selling. I feel it's fair to haggle and deal only on a big purchase like, say, a car. Something that costs upwards of a couple of paychecks, at least. I tend to pay cash for things like that as much as I can, and since that means there's not gonna be a delinquent payment and they get their money in full on the day of the sale, they usually cut me some slack and give me a better deal.

Plus, the sticker price is the sucker's price on a car or what have you.

But in a fixed-price, retail setting there is no haggling and I understand that if that's what they charge, that what they charge. No matter how much I bitch, Wal-Mart isn't gonna take 5 cents a can off my Hormel Chili.
 
One thing that managed to piss me off or at least left me seeing it as a low blow: dancing on a guy's grave and giving a very piss poor excuse of it. Two weeks ago TotalBiscuit croaked from cancer and out of the woodwork came all sorts of speds trying to justify death by cancer. Won't deny TB had moments of being a sperg but to say he deserves it because of autism vidya gaem screeching or making some toaster joke isn't really much of a good excuse. More so if one literally tried to compare a dead guy to Hitler. Because making a toaster joke and being "ethics in journalism" on autistic vidya screeching is the same as sending 6 million to the death camps.

People that get pets that they have absolutely no idea how to take care of and let the poor little animal suffer because of it. This lady that lives a little ways away from my home is infamous for blowing loads of money on expensive pets just to show off how much money she has and to try and look like she's some compassionate animal lover, but they always end up dying horrible deaths because she's too fucking lazy and dense to learn how to care for them. Way back when I was a kid she bought a horse, this big white stallion, he was a majestic motherfucker and as a boy I thought it was super rad that I lived right near a horse that looked like it came out of some cool fantasy movie. What wasn't rad however was watching this poor horse slowly go from Being big and healthy to an emanciated, flea-infested walking corpse. Then one day I looked outside and the horse wasn't on it's usual spot on the mountain and I never saw it again after that. Turns out the poor thing finally gave out and instead of actually taking care of its body they drug it up into the woods and tried to hide it in a ditch. After that she's been in trouble with the law countless times for animal neglect and cruelty but she always shows up with a new high maintenance pet about a week after her old one dies. Now she's got yet another horse and it's one of the little midget ones that stay small their whole lives. She's only had it a less than half a month and the poor little guy already looks like death.

I just can't stand seeing something suffer like that, especially when it's a pet that's meant to be loved and nurtured but it ends up living a short miserable life because some dumbass thought they looked cool.

That's another thing that can piss a guy off. These are living creatures that end up just being glorified accessories for a rich idiot. The fact this lady spends money on these animals to show off makes one wonder if either someone will just be sick off her bragging or if buying all these animals can eventually put a hole in her funds to make her realize she isn't really rich hot shit.

Been in both sides of the retail spectrum. I've learned the less money a customer has, the worse they'll be in terms of sale negotiation. A richer customer has usually worked for their money, they can wait for something and accept the price, not usually much haggling to be done.
Poorer customers, more often then not, except the highest quality for the lowest price, I think because a lot don't work and haven't had an discipline with business. Asian customers will do this with anything, white customers will very rarely do it with anything, unless they're cunts.
For larger sales, stuff like this is to be expected, annoying as it is, it's business, you get on with it.
For tiny shit, it gets really annoying to have to chip pennies off a price tag while there are a million better things you could be doing.

When people don't break large blocks of text into paragraphs.

I find it legitimately difficult to read a huge, rambling wall of words.

The worst are the ones that are stories (usually fanfic) with dialogue marks and all. What a jumbled mess.

I once had to read a very early gothic novel formatted like that (English didn’t have definite prose format rules back then) and that was a difficult task. The prose itself wasn’t that hard to read; all the problems I had originated from just the fucking formatting.
 
TBH I can't fucking stand it when people think they can say whatever they want just because something's wrong with them or they have some disablity that makes them ''so weak and precious uwuwuwuwu''

I used to know this guy (well,not KNOW,but i was forced to work with him all the time) He was raised and spoiled by his parents until he was around 50 years old. (which was also when he was forced to leave their house and learn how to be independant) Causing him to expect things to be handed to him on a silver platter and (when handed a task) expects someone else to do the dirty work for him as he stands there with his hands in his pockets distracting the people with his insane stories.
And he went around saying the most horrible racist and sexist stuff.
He makes fun about rape and the way people look and act. (''God,you really are retarded'')
And yet whenever I wanted to complain about his behaviour I was told that ''He's autistic and can't help himself. Just ignore him and he'll stop.''
Yet when I TRY to ignore him, He becomes really offended and basically gets on the verge of screaming in my face as he repeats his ''jokes'',thinking I don't get them.

Even more fun,the ONE time I called him out,everyone was on HIS side and he kept spouting bullshit like ''I can do and say whatever I want! It's not my fault I have autism!!''

But yeah,back on topic, fuck the people who think this way.

Even if it doesn't really piss a person off, it really is a pain in the ass reading it all that it'll end up being nothing more than some weird rambling.

I like those people because you can tell without reading a word of it that it's going to be rambling, possibly psychotic gibberish and just ignore it.
 
Wanna-be psychologists/psychiatrists. I see people make diagnoses online and offline, saying that someone clearly has BPD, or is a legitimate psychopath — despite not showing traits of psychopathy — and other diagnoses. That’s the type of stuff that annoys me, as you need extensive interviews with a professional psychologist in order to properly diagnose someone. You cannot diagnose someone from a distance like that.
 
The fact that I have to rush to my delivered packages because my neighbor two doors down stole my packages on two occasions.
 
I seem to be on a civics annoyance kick, but people who bitch about "unelected judges" and complaining when they strike down a law they're fond of. Read the Federalist Papers assholes. The founders wanted judges free from public opinion and bound only to the law. Further, James Madison, who wrote the damn Constitution, said without judicial review, the Constitution would be meaningless, because Congress and the President could do anything they wanted. Saying judges have too much power means you know nothing about the Constitution you claim to revere. The founders didn't want total democracy. They pretty much have that in the UK, with Parliamentary Sovereignty, and look at the mess they're in.

Paradox Games for making Cities: Skylines. When I emerged from my apartment after a marathon session, I found out I had been reported missing.

People who try to get me into MLM schemes. A now former friend signed me up for a webinar ostensibly about starting a web business, but it was actually Amway in disguise. Yeah.

Whoever rammed the back of my car and then drove off. It was parked in a parking space! How does that even happen?
 
While I absolutely adore it when new people become interested in something I like because it's gives me more to talk about with someone, I can't stand it when new fans of things read a few wiki articles or something and try to act like they're experts on them.

Like it's okay to say that you don't know everything on a subject, nobody is gonna call you an idiot or anything. Just enjoy it and if you don't understand something just ask someone.
 
Linear time. Fuck you laws of physics, I should be able to go back and talk myself out of my poor life choices.
