Things that piss you off
I was just looking over some approval profiles and someone mentioned something that really pisses me of, it seems well minor but it drives me crazy when people do it...
Its, chewing with their mouth open.
But then I really realised its not just that, another thing I hate is when people cannot use cutlery, it drives me batty, I don't mean the more complicated things, I mean they cannot hold a knife and fork, It just really really bothers me.

Oohhh, you're just inviting a flurry of angry rants here Allan ;)
I kind of hate it when people stand on the wrong side of the escalator and block it up during peak times.
I really hate political correctness that's over the top and to the point of just being ridiculous. Probably many more but I don't want to think about it too much right now!

I hate it when newscasters say "tragedy". I'm sure what happened was a horrible calamity but seriously...I don't think the english language needs any further help with the definitions of it's words being bastardized. Of all people too, you're news casters! We're allowed to scrutinize your vocabulary.
Oooh hates. Wow. Can I fill you in on a few of mine.
Right - today's pet hate is the word hero. Everyone is a bloody hero these days. "Tram driver revives passenger - hero" "Pilot lands plane in turbulence - hero" "Footballer scores goal, has cocaine addiction - hero" Sod off media. I hate this overuse of the word hero. Doing your job (or being a scumbag) doesn't make you a hero, a hero is running into a burning building, heroes were those in the Charge of the Light Brigade.
Onto others;
Filling in forms at university. Every f'ing form asked me if I was an Aborigine or a Torres Strait Islander. Why? Does it matter? Does my skin colour mean that I don't have to fill in the rest of the form? Will I get an extension on that late book? Or extra time in the computer lab? Did I not fill this in 100 times when I enrolled, so why do I still need to fill it in to graduate? Could if possibly have changed over four years? Is it contagious? Probably not, but that peeved me no end. "At the end of the day" (saying that solely to tease amethyst) I am British, and human. And I worked my arse off in Year 12 to get to uni. Thank you.
The inability to speak. Really, communication is so simple. Yet some people open their mouth and out comes some drivel of sorts. "I brought this yesterday" - really, where did you bring it from? "I fink" - how does one do that exactly? "Youze" - I'm not a sheep, or four legged, so say something like 'you guys' or 'all of you' but don't label me as something woolier than I am.
More later :)

lol@ Youze. This one annoys me as well.
The escalator thing is another pet hate - specially in places like parliament station.
I hate it when sales assistants follow you around repeatedly asking if you need help if you're dressed well, but completely ignore you when youre in jeans, t shirt and cons, just because you (ie me) look so young that they think you can't afford their clothes. pfft.
I hate it when people asking for donations for pandas/orphans in tibet/gorillas in brazil come and corner you while you're sitting down and having a meal. Almost every week at monash clayton, there's a few of these who only ask for donations at the sitting-down areas where people have their lunch, so that they can't get away. I think that if people want to donate, they will. Bugging them about it will only make them look for the smallest amount of change they can give you to make you go away

I'll end of the day you if you use that horrid phrase again! =P
Oh and I totally agree with the inability to speak. That is acceptable only if you are preoccupied with other important things, such as eating really good icecream. Or Japanese food.
And Meowrrr, tooottally agree with the donations thing! I was ambushed by 3 sets of schoolkids on Daffodil Day on my way to the train station. I swear I can do without a tri-daily dose of morning guilt. Plus I'm allergic to stupid daffodils too so NO I DONT WANT TO BUY ONE. =P
Post by dpdOh and just following on from that is "Aussie Battler". Everyone on every current affairs show in Australia (and those shows in themselves are something worth complaining about) is a poor Aussie Battler! I can't stand that phrase.
