DJ's who call their clubs alternative and then play fucking Talking Heads and Blondie records all night.

chances.

People who would rather play beer pong than have a conversation. There are a fucking lot of them.

The opening post is good, people who are too nice can sure get on my nerves. When people's character and behaviour feels to made up and fake, that's annoying. Also when people don't pay at the bus.

Oh, on a related note: Cheap tippers. I know a lot of countries don't use this, but in America it pisses me the fuck off when people tip either less than 15% because the service was "poor" (15% is supposed to be the minimum) or people who refuse to tip more than 15% and have to pull out a calculator.

I've been in positions where I was too poor to pay my dues, but I hate when people do it on "principle" or something.

Also, I've never had a server job so I don't have any personal grudges against it. I just hate watching it.

If I have enough money to tip them appropriately, I do it. But if I low on cash, screw it, it's their job ain't it?

or people who would rather text than converse. they can just go fuck off.

even if the service is poor, i try to tip 20%. at this sports bar i go to, the waitress knows my order by heart so i always give her a bit extra.

Believe it or not, I actual despair at a lot of grammar pedantry. But grammar puritanism irritates me more. For instance, the notion of the split infinitive being 'a bad thing' really is a bygone era. And beginning sentences with conjunctions is fine. Ending with prepositions is fine - what is a question for?

Obviously, it'd be nice if people wrote a bit better, but there is such a thing as a context, y'know?

Having said that, I'd really appreciate fewer ellipses. Thanks.

totally agree.

also everyone here plays beer pong and i seriously want to throw up in people's mouths when they suggest that. i will take a wild zero drinking party over beer pong any day.

Cantankerous 08.31.2008 05:46 PM

i hate beer pong because no one ever plays with good beer, it's always fucking PBR or bud select.

boy_howdy 08.31.2008 05:46 PM

lone star is a good beer. i mean, in a bad beer way.

Cantankerous 08.31.2008 05:48 PM

tecate is pretty cheap and good.

i would rather just drink and not make it into a fucking competition.

boy_howdy 08.31.2008 05:50 PM

tecate is pretty good, also Modelo.
have you played the Wild Zero drinking game? totally awesome. or watching will smith movies and chugging every time will says a will smith-ism.

Cantankerous 08.31.2008 05:55 PM

no i haven't played that

i have played the big lebowski one where every time the dude smokes a joint or drinks a white russian you do the same. that one is funnnnnn.

boy_howdy 08.31.2008 06:07 PM

oh jeez i bet! i think i just decided what i'm going to do tonight.

Cantankerous 08.31.2008 06:12 PM

stuff i can't stand...

when people insist on saying african-american instead of black. no. i don't call myself european american. i'm fucking white. and black people are black.

by the way, there are WHITE PEOPLE in africa and if they came to america you wouldn't hear anyone calling them african american.

I know exactly what you mean. Some people are unsettling.

schizophrenicroom 08.31.2008 06:59 PM

a friend of mine nicknamed my other friend "mrs peacock" (from the game clue) for the way she flits around being overly nice to people. it really is a bit unsettling to watch her be so fake.
