One thing that has been bothering me more and more recently are people at my school who try and fit in by being the awkward/annoying kid. Theres one kid at my school who definitely has some social issues, but he doesn't try to do anything about it. He encourages it infact. Now, I know thats probably a defensive type thing, but this kid is AMAZING at it. He can literally make the nicest kid in school hate him within 5 minutes of talking to him. He makes jokes all the time which he thinks are just hilarious, but they're usually in horrible taste (holocaust jokes that have zero humor in them at all but are just stupid for example).

Also stains. D: I spilt barbeque sauce on my new slippers last night.

Chalk these things up to the board

Also add to it: "people who think they are more awesome than everyone else for almost no reason at all"

Another bad one: people that seem to never be serious. That is the worst one.

That'll be me, then. I seem to have two moods: grumpy and flippant. Sometimes both at once.

What about the countless friends I've smoked in close proximity to that are non-smokers and do not contract bronchitis? What about me and my smoker friends who inhale this stuff every day and don't have bronchitis? Your statement is ridiculous, unrealistic and unfounded.
Your blanket statement about those who frequent bars aside, not caring/expecting something that would cause, in your example, bronchitis would not prevent it. I know I will suffer from sinuses every fall, yet it still happens. Yes, even when I don't smoke this happens. It wasn't an anology, by the way, it is an observation that will reproduce the same results if you yourself would go and check. You will see a healthy person walk past smokers and enter a bar, then leave the bar without bronchitis - or any health problems you'd attribute to smoking; they could be drunk, though.
Your point was that since we smokers are irresponsible there are laws to prevent smoking in places. On the road, we have laws to prevent people from going through stop signs, red lights, etc. Why do we have these road laws? Because drivers are, for the safety of everyone, going to be assumed as irresponsible. They're one in the same.

Smoke from a cigarette that you walk through on your way to somewhere will not cause any long lasting or serious health complications. If you don't believe me, please take a step outside and watch for yourself. Have a friend walk by a smoker and see what happens. This debate was never about smoking inside, only outside, mind you all. I've a feeling this was forgotten in between the bickering, and has possibly (hopefully) led to some confusion. Your arguments have become weaker, condescending and you have personally insulted me a couple times, so I'm going to stop beating this dead horse.

I am rarely serious, because when my friends and other people are serious it is usually about something I find foolish, but I can also tell when to not be in a joking manner when something is serious that I don't care about.

You know most damage caused by 2nd hand smoke comes gradually, it doesn't just strike down suddenly like lighting and then the individual is sick. Also who says it's okay to generally discomfort other people ? Perhaps a better anology than the one I presented earlier would be that smokers are like grass and cigarettes are like sprinklers. You don't cultivate grass on the street and you most certainly don't put down sprinklers there to keep it fresh. In the same way while you may place yourself on the street it is not acceptable to light a cigarette there, you can do it in your own back yard or just anyplace where you don't expect other people to be walking around. No one likes to get wet and no one likes to walk through someones smoke. And even if there are people that do you need to consider the ones who don't. There are people who don't mind getting drenched and there are people who don't mind smoke but most of us do.

So what you're saying is that people who only have a little bit of a reason in life to feel good about themselves, you look down upon?

You see some poor, decrepit [censored], barely pulling himself up from the gutter and all you wanna do is curb-rack the sod.

wow... that's harsh dude..




thank gawd fer froody banana's and disco bunnies then..

At first that made me laugh, then http://media.photobucket.com/image/horror/JesusIsSin/Horror%20Gifs/CurbStomp.gif?o=15&sortby=sevendaysview (*pretty gruesome) came to mind and I felt bad...

There's been no personal insults whatsoever, you've likely taken an argument far too personally. If this is the case then perhaps debating is not for you.

There's also countless http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/brnchi/ to http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/8888.php what http://www.lung.ca/protect-protegez/tobacco-tabagisme/second-secondaire/index_e.php, so before calling something unfounded you might want to turn to those who actually deal with and study respiratory diseases, rather than trying to self diagnose people you walk by and wrongly, mind you, declare you have no effect on them. This is the largest fault second hand smoke denialism has, and it's rather a sad justification to conveniently ignore how one's addictions come at the expense of others, not merely the addict alone. Being outside, while exposing one to technically less intensity of particles containing the type of carcinogens and poisons from cigarette smoke (along with the tar, benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, etc.) does not reduce effect it has when inhaled by a passerby that happens to get a nice whiff of it.

How this started was you believed you should be able to smoke in the entranceway of buildings rather than do the oh so inconvenient thing of doing it elsewhere while completely ignoring ("it's exaggerated!"!) and utterly denying (but friends don't get bronchitis in front of me therefore it's not doing harm at all). I don't go around [censored]ing and moaning about smokers because laws have helped do recently what smokers themselves couldn't do, so in Canada, especially Ontario, you wouldn't have a choice about not smoking in an entranceway, you'd thankfully be slapped with a nice fine or worse. Given the arguments I've seen it sure is a great reinforcement of how necessary they have been since denialism of health effects surrounding cigarette smoke (primarily by the addicts themselves or tobacco industry manufactured research which has largely been discredited, not to mention been through legal issues given where the research money came from), notably second hand smoke, sprung up swiftly in the 90s in North America and have been prevalent ever since, although more addicts have been seeing what it does to themselves and more importantly to others, and with the help of nanny government (isn't it great?) have been babysat from causing harm to other kids on the playground due to their own addictive ignorance.

I hate it when people at concerts phone you so you can hear how amazing terrible it sounds from your phones.

The Twitter idiot thing does annoy me also. Why the hell do companies like Dominos and Taco Bell need Twitter accounts and facebook pages FFS!!! What the hell is so important they need to use this social media. I think it is completely vapid for them to try and cash in on what I would call fads. Alot of people have already become disillusioned with this social media crap, another 10 years and it will be a thing of the past.

Uh huh... No.

Ohhhh no you didn't!

Wait you did, you made the list

People in general annoy me.

...

Because you are an alien and we destroyed your Mothership as it was abducting our people?
I'd be mad too, it was so unjust

Religious people who can't seem to get it into their heads that I don't want or need "saving".

The nanny state. Don't tell me how much salt to eat in a day - it's just salt ffs. You actually need it to live.

Cheats. I have never found it necessarry to cheat on a partner and people who do are the lowest of the low of the low.

P.S. if that last one sounds bitter, that's because it is, and with bloody good reason.

I add these to my list
My brother opened the door to Jehovah's Witnesses It's the fifth time he's ran down the stairs from the shower to do it and the fifth time he's came back with two words..."[censored] wankers"... me and my dad just find it too funny that he's the only one on each occassion they've came that gets up and answers the door
Yes....cheats, though it's not a little thing, it's a pretty ugly big thing (Wow do I mean that metaphorically or literally )

The more I read in this thread, the more I realize that pretty much everything mentioned here annoys me. I find it annoying that I'm such an angry person

Maybe we could send our plague of double glazing salesmen your way so your brother can have a change. They're a bloody menace and are still using the same pressure selling tactics that had already given them such notoriety over 30 years ago (and probably long before that.) Most door-to-door pests actually respect the polite "bugger off" notice we've put in the window but this lot still persist, we probably get around one visit a week on average which might not sound much but it gets irritating by about the 50th time. They won't take no for an answer and the only way to get rid of them is to shut the door in their faces while they're still talking.

The reason there's still a market for double glazing is that much of it appears to have been sold by their predecessors and is of such poor quality that it all needs replacing. Yes, I'd love to buy replacement double glazing because the last lot your company installed was so crap.

I think I've answered the door to a salesman once, his company hasn't returned...
My dog if you approach the door will either bark or cry/howl excessively depending on who it is so I never answer unless he cries/howls since I know it's family or friends coming to the door. That one time though both the salesman and my friends were coming to the door and I just let the dog straight out the door (he jumps on everyone in a playful manner, regardless who it is) and he jumped on the salesman and pawed him right in the testicles , he just turned round and walked away and I closed the door once the dog ran back inside.
Its was the classic - "OHH!" and bend over hold himself that got me

My list of pet peeves is so long it could never be properly documented. Here are a few (more than a few, actually):

I really get annoyed when people use "its" when they mean to use "it's" (and vice versa). In the same vein, "their" and "there" and "they're" all being used interchangeably. The use of the word "verbiage" is intensely annoying to me.

Fairy Tale endings.

The token (fill_in_race_here) guy/gal in some stories/movies/games/whatever.

An empty 6-pack container sitting in my fridge.

Long lines at the 7-Eleven.

Old people who think they can stand at the counter and work at their seven thousand scratch tickets. Then, after a few, they turn them in for *more* scratch tickets. (This one goes a little beyond "pet peeve" status for me)

People who think they are an authority on a matter because they've been doing it for ninety five million years and a day (seriously, time to fing retire, okay guy?).

Telephones. Girls who text 24-7. People who text or talk on a phone while standing in line anywhere for anything at any time.

Anybody in the world who feels they are entitled to... whatever.

Super fans. Another entry that goes beyond pet peeve and into the realm of pure loathing.

People who insist on comparing unrelated things - especially games (want to compare Assassin's Creed to Assassin's Creed 2? Cool. Want to compare Skyrim to Fallout? FAIL.)

And so many other things. So many.

"Passed" and "past".


What do you think of South Park's Token?


What?


Yes.
