People Who Eat A Lot
I’m eating lunch at school and the fattest person there either buys a double lunch or brings a ton of snacks to eat. It’s just gross—two to three bags of chips and a bunch of other fatty foods. It’s gross, gross, gross. Why can’t they eat better? It gets me so mad. One day they’ll all get heart attacks or end up on biggest loser or in some other predicament. I can’t even watch them eat.
“That’s so gay.”
I hate it when people use “gay” and “retarded” as insults. “Gay” is not an insult, there are actually gay people in this world. Also, “retarded” is not an insult, there are mentally retarded people in this world. Both being gay and mentally retarded are things people don’t choose, so don’t use them as insults. Use the right words, people, seriously.
People Who Think They're Better Than They Are
It really annoys me when people think they are better than everyone else. I mean, everyone that actually has a life knows that no one is, never has been and never will be perfect. You are not better at everything than everyone else.
People
I hate the human race. We’re wasteful and stupid, and the world would be better off if we all died.
Annoying Feminists
I don’t mind women who say they're equal to men. I completely agree. But women who say they’re better than men—I hate that! My cousin told me she thought Jesus was a woman because all the writers of the Bible were men. That doesn’t even make sense!
Grammar Nazis
While I appreciate using correct grammar and spelling, people who feel compelled to correct every misspelling they see just get on my nerves. Especially when they take on that “I can spell every word in the dictionary and know how to use semicolons, therefore I’m so much better than everyone else” mentality. Some of us are dyslexic, or naturally not strong spellers, or haven’t been in school for as long as the rest of you. This is just the internet; the world isn’t going to end if someone accidentally writes “your” instead of “you’re” once in a while.
People Who Make Fun of Other People’s Beliefs
I hate it when people make fun of others who believe in ghosts. I believe and I am proud.
People Who Say “Retarded”
I hate people that say “that’s so retarded” or use “retard” as an insult. My son is retarded and I love him very much. It doesn’t bother me if people are talking about someone who is actually retarded, but otherwise it bothers me very much. Not to mention it’s not funny to be retarded. Whenever my wife hears someone say “retarded” she cries. It’s not funny.
Animal Lovers
Animals have survived for years on Earth without our help. I don’t hate animals, but I hate when people lecture me about how to protect wildlife. Many animals need to be culled in order to survive. I used to shoot ten grouse a year to keep numbers down, then people made the area into a sanctuary and now I can’t. Now all the grouse are dead from overcrowding.
It’s useless and boring. Nobody cares what kind of sandwich you’re having. It’s like status updates but without the social networking part of it. In other words, pointless.
