I have a fair few pet hates bubbling inside me at any one time...

- when people use 'net speak' in everyday language - e.g.: lyk, omg, wtf? i cbf atm. brb... I actually heard this conversation once... this is pretty much a transcript of the conversation...

- when people say "lol" just because they can't think of anything else to say - I'm pretty sure if people were really laughing out loud every single time they wrote that, they would haemorrhage from the diaphragm...

- obviously incorrect spelling or grammar - I'm not against anyone who can't spell or doesn't know every grammatical rule (typos are a part of life), but I will correct it if I hear / see it if I know the person well enough that they won't get too miffed.

- prejudice or intolerance; far be it for anyone to attempt to dictate the way another person lives - it's their choice. By the same token, I also dislike minority groups attempting to manipulate the majority to their way of life, and claiming discrimination if the majority does not comply. People should just live the way they want to live and be happy about it.

- when people say "like" or "y'know" after every other word.

- when people speak with an upward inflection at the end of each sentence so everything sounds like a question.

- when party A says "I love you" to party B in an attempt to convince party B to have sex with party A.

- when people put themselves down as an attempt get compliments.

- when people make unjustified assumptions about another person e.g.: she's pretty, she must be dumb; he likes to dress well, he must be gay.

- backstabbing in general.

- when people displace their anger/frustration/other negative emotions onto other people in an attempt to make themselves feel better, thereby making the other person feel bad.

- when a person's choice is taken away from them.

...

I think that's enough ranting for now! ... I think ... If I think of anything else, rest assured I will be back...!

Atm its So you think you can dance. Im ready to shoot the television. 2 hours of people crying because they have trained for 19 years of their lives to be a dancer on a reality tv show for 3 months.

People at the gym who stash about six sets of dunbells under their bench and claim they're "using them".

getting a phonecall at 8am to say your receptionist's son is sick and she cant comein to work, meaning your stuck on the reception and cant get any of the work you needed to get done today done.

a gasp in flinders lane!!!! noooooooooo.. why, why would they do that

The reaction to Brendan Nelson, even though he's agreeing what a joke.

The bleeding heart in today's MX newspaper who recommended that Australia Day should be renamed Invasion Day and then scrapped. If you feel so strongly about it, leave the country.

Melbourne's train network. I use the term network lightly. It's not networked. It just breaks down. A 20 minute journey this morning took over an hour. And the service home was delayed too. I use the term service lightly. It's sardine transportation. And they have the audacity to charge us for it.

the stupid cow at work who complained because my desk is messy. Its MY desk b***h, you arent even in the same office as me, whats it to you? its messy because i have a LOT of stuff going on, id like to see you work 80 hour weeks.

Ask her if she'd like to clean it.
