negativity really pisses me off... ahem ahem

it's a never-ending circle and I hate myself

-pretty much anything on facebook... taking pictures of your [chinese/arabic/indian/weird] food (OH WHAT A SOPHISTICATED PALETTE), trash talk aimed for somebody but not enough to actually get that person's attention, the albums of somebody's night out where they have 100 pictures (what the fuck? were you just taking pictures all night? "hey everybody smile and make goofy faces like we're having fun!")

-people who act like the US has the only stupid people in the world

-when the people who got us into the current mess we're in bitch and moan about how we're fucked cause of our next generation (something tells me this happens in every generation)

-when people take a series of pictures that looks like they just went to a Denny's and threw their camera at the table, then act like it's art (my high school art teacher actually put up a display of something exactly like this... there were seriously just pictures of ketchup, mustard, and sugar packets sitting at a table but OMG 37.5 degree angle makes it edgy!)

-people that reinforce their ethnicity's stereotypes (bad stereotypes... I don't care if you like watermelon)

-there's more but I gotta pass out

If I network really hard can I get into IB with a communications degree from bumfuck u?

People who put french fries on their hamburger!!!!!

Makes me want to punch them...

being behind people who accelerate slow as fuck on the highway on ramp and try to merge onto the highway going 20mph

Agree with Twitter. People would stop using it if there was a small fee for use. Tough business model.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me at all.

Are you guys unfamiliar with StockTwits? How about using it as a platform for overthrowing governments? I find Twitter way more functional than Facebook. Plus it forces brevity - something this world is in desperate need of.

LOL. Now you're just being a jealous hater, Ben.

douchebags.

People that are constantly on their phone when out at a bar.

People that wear black dress shirts. You look like a douchebag, so stop it.

Twitter. Don't use it, can't see myself ever using it, and find it very annoying how suddenly "@something" or "#something" is the new way of communicating things.

Also, Groupon. I have yet to see one single thing that I would consider buying, and I've been getting them for 6+ months. How are they considered so great? Really, unless you want a spa treatment - which seems to make up over 50% of the Groupon offers in my area - they don't really offer anything that fantastic.

absolutely agree. as long as their accelerating I don't mind as much, it's when I see brake lights on the ramp that really gets to me. nervous drivers are dangerous drivers

excel blowing up...ready to toss the laptop out the window. that and calibri font

Eddie - No jealousy whatsoever. I give props to any entrepreneur with the balls to sit through the hard times and see a business through with doubters everywhere. I'm talking about the lazy chumps that want to make a quick buck on an ignorant idea.

-Drivers honking a millisecond after a light turns green

-Guidos

-Bravo network

-People

Tourists in NYC who not only walk super slow but feel the need to have their entire crew walk side-by-side so that I can't even go around them. I'm trying to catch a train - why the fuck are you taking pictures of a Macy's store??

outrageously high valuations of tech companies really piss me off

People who can't walk. I'm not talking about handicapped people. I'm talking about people who walk as slow as humanly possible, who stop dead in their tracks to look at a store, who stop in the middle of sidewalk to talk to their buddies, who decide to walk kind of fast, but not fast enough in a diagonal direction, effectively cutting you off for an extended period of time (you know what I'm talking about). You've been doing this since before you were 2, what is the problem?

the geico gecko must die.

the cavemen are worse

Dog/Cat/Animal hair. It gets EVERYWHERE.

Anything "Jersey Shore" related. As much "fun" as those kids think they have - What a terrible example to set to an already morally decaying nation. Entertainment and stupidity sell though.

Stopping first at a 4-way stop intersection only to have the other moron roll through first.

People full of themselves. One day the center of the universe will be discovered and a lot of people will be dissapointed that they are not it.

Getting "Rick Rolled" on YouTube. Not even sure why someone wasting only 10 seconds of my time would make me contemplate launching a full-out investigation into finding out where the prick lives and banging his head again his laptop, I guess it's just the manner in which those 10 seconds are wasted.

While on the subject of YouTube: anyone that makes an idiot out themselves in front of their shitty webcam hoping to get picked up by Tosh 2.0. That and probably desperate and annoying covers not identified as covers in the title.

Someone already mentioned this but high-school/college students handing out serious life/work advice on WSO.

So many things to do with Facebook, but most of them have been covered. I deactivated my account a little while ago for a reason I won't mention but part of that decision was fueled by an idea for an experiment. I'll get back to it some day though.

And the most important one: People either overinvested in their beliefs or just extremely close-minded that won't even think about considering the other persons point of view. And this goes for those people that put down others for the absolutely smallest things in the world that they don't agree with. I know I may be alone in that but for some reason even if I don't agree with someone I make an effort to see where that person is coming from, what factors are affecting his train of thought and whether or not his logic is based on false premises, etc.

.... and Zimbabwe Ben and I'm not even American. What a POS.

I cant stand people who go out in full suits to a shitty wannabe upscale NYC bar with 200 other drunk 20 year old kids, who spill shit everywhere, and think they are hot shitt cause they are wearing a Kohls suit and wanna do 'models and bottles' with their $100 dollars they managed to scrounch together.

People need to get off their high horse. You arent that special. I'd much rather hang with the guys who dont give a shit and wear a tshirt to a bar then the douche who spends 4 hours in the bathroom doing his hair and putting together his three piece suit.

Cab drivers who drive with two feet (all of them), i get so fucking sick when they constantly apply the gas and brake at the same time. As HireUp mentioned, fuck cabbies who give you that condescending look when you ask if they take credit cards, also hate cabbies who get pissed when you hand them a 20 and ask for 13 back on a 5 dollar ride. O and i really hate the little tv's in the back of cabs, coupled with cabbies erratic driving and 13 vodka tonics, i want to die...

Cabbie arbitrage. carry slightly less than the straight fare and threaten to use CC. Most of the time they will take the cash. Booyah.

Ugh... True Story:

I took a cabbie back from the bar one night with a buddy. First thing he says when we get in the car was 'you better pay' and we were like ughhh okay no problem. We ended up getting in a little bit of a argument with the guy because he went on about how bad America was or something because the last person ditched the cab and didnt pay. When we got to our destination, he said okay you pay. We told him we had credit only and started bitching at us about no no no he only takes cash. Well, we told him credit only. He ends up getting furious, reaching for something under his seat (I thought gun) and taking out a baton. Chased us out of the taxi and the cops showed up at that point to straighten the shit out.

All over credit... and he hated America...oh and I guess b/c of the last group ditching and not paying. hahaha.
