People who say "Oriented" as "Orientated"

It's orient - ed NOT orient - ated

 

why?... because I did object oriented programming at uni... and only about 3 people ever said it correctly.

Hmm...

 

Liars are up there at the top, but that's more of a trust issue thing. As for just annoying, that'd have to be passive-aggressive people for me. If you want to say something, come right out and say it imo.

That's more of a regional thing though, like herb. SMILEY

When you ask someone an A or B question and they answer it with yes or no.

Initially you might think or well surely when they say yes or no they are referring to the latter part of the question, the B if you will. Ultimately however, this is not so despite what i had hoped and as such this is something that causes me great frustration - ultimately grinding my gears.

People who say "like" every other word.

People who are stuck up.

Celebrity news.
Doesn't matter what kind. From where they had new kids, a car accident to 'zomg, he like was still totally drunk on sunday morning after partying' and 'she gained so much weight it's hardly noticable'.

I despise it all.

the, wobbley zoom in&out shakey cam filming style of many movies and tv shows. Main example that comes to mind is Battlestar Galactica...   It's such a cheap and flimsy attempt at making your show appear more dramatic.

-Trashy people regardless of race or ethnicity.

-Religous fanatics of any religion. "My religion is better!" Sort of thing.

-When people chew gum then take it out and put it on a plate or cup to chew on later after they eat/drink whatever it is they are eating/drinking. Like, seriously now? I'LL BUY YOU A WHOLE PACK OF GUM, JUST THROW THE PIECE AWAY IT'S DIGUSTING!

-Crackheads/Heroin Junkies/Meth Addicts: Although they can provide some entertainment, it gets old after a while and I get tired of coming out of store and asked for EXACT change. For example: "Yo my man, you got $1.27?" /pullhair

-If you live Western New York then you will understand this one: ALL THE LITTLE WANNABE GANGSTER'S FROM RIVERSIDE AND BLACK ROCK. Seriously, kill yourselves. ASAP.

-People acting like they are hispanic, complete with the false hispanc accent. Seriously, we all see your white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. So STOP TRYING.

-People that take 20 minutes to tell a 5 minute story/joke. Nuff' said.

-Taxes. I know they help fund things...but I just hate em'!

Yeah, there is no way to "act" like an ethnic group. Only a stereotype of one.
