If you can name the ONE thing that...

Ruins your day,
Makes you utterly frustrated, OR
Causes you to angrily punch a wall...

What would that be?

One thing? Sorry, can't have it that way. I'm an All or Nothing person when it comes to peeves.

People On Their Cell Phones. I Hate Cell Phones. Shove it up your arse!
People who think they own the road when I decide to go for an exercise.
Superficialness.
Drug Addicts.
Drama Whores.
Myspace.
People that stare.
Racism.
People who wear sandals. Especially with socks. Save it for the beach, damnit!
Backwards hats.
Golf hats.
Rednecks.
Sexism.
Anime.
Cheaters.
Scammers.

I could go on for days.

I'll rephrase it: Anime made after 1996.

I still love demon beast invasion, la blue girl and darkstalkers. Bondage Fairies was hilarious, original and disgusting. And vampire hunter d had my attention for a while. I even like sailor moon from time to time.

I blame cartoon network, pokemon, hello kitty, and cardcaptors for inspiring yugioh. The market of anime in america is just so overwhelming and there's a lot of money in it, so they keep making it. And anime is REALLY simple to draw once you have the basics down, it would bore the hell out of me in six months.
Why do they all have to scream and get into non-sensical battles every episode?? It wasn't like that before.

I wrote an article about how much I hate anime last year, it's up in my archives if you get time on your hands.

riverstyxxx-

I read your post on Anime. The only shows you reference as being bad are Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, and Pokemon. I'm a huge Anime fan and I think these shows are garbage too. Have you watched anything recently?

And you don't like the way it's drawn? OK, so the style doesn't appeal to you. But what difference does it make as to how simple it is to draw?

The over-saturation of crap like Pokemon hurts the industry more than it helps because if this is the only exposure you get to this genre, you're so turned off by it you won't even seek out the good stuff. And there is good stuff.

I can't remember the last time anything ticked me off to the point of ruining my day, well,once I had no milk in the house for my tea, and no turps for my painting and I was stuck in the house for a week due to snow. That was horrid.

There was only ONE time I punched a wall and it was the time I was so angry, so frustrated that if the man who had abused me walked into the room I would have killed him. I'm glad he didn't walk into the room.

I have been frustrated when paying for a nice dinner or a movie and cell phones and loud talking intrudes on my ability to enjoy what I have payed for.

Child abuse. Child abuse will enrage me, and force me to ruin the day of the abuser. I'd ruin their life if given adequate time and privacy....

As for more petty stuff, I'm going with Riverstyxx's list. Particularly the cell phone bit.

And people who drive behemoth vehicles they can't park. Honestly, parking requires slow, small controlled movements at almost no speed. If you can't control the car while driving under 10 mph, how am I supposed to believe that you can control it on a whim at 65 mph?

If you can't park it, you shouldn't drive it.

I don't get teed off very often, but here are some "tiny annoyances":

1. Weak coffee
2. People who talk loudly on their cell phones
3. People who cut me off or don't let me pass while driving

[reply]

  Well tiny annoyance for me is if:
  1. someone offers me tea and then boils the water in the microwave - it tastes horrible!!!!!!!!! really really HORRIBLE!
  2. People talking loudly in a movie theatre on or off the cell phone
  3. showing up on time for an appointment and being told the last person was late for theirs and you will have to wait for 30 mins to an hour. I don't think so.

  Good ones, Jafa! I wonder if people who talk loudly on phones want people to hear them or if they think that the person can't hear them because they are "so far away". Either way, I am glad that many places ban them.
  
  Now, the ringing in a movie theater, um, bothers me too - BUT I've been a culprit too! **bowing head**

If you read my posts, then you will know that there are a lot of things that piss me off. If you don't get upset over something then check your pulse. For me the number one thing is to have someone who claims to be a Christian, tell me they are going to CHANGE me. The same f*ing person who just told a raunchy joke, is screwing around on the spouse and called the person next to them a M*@#$#@THER F@#$#@#$KER. What the hell are they spouting off about. At least I am not pretending to be what I am not.

My anger management system is very good. Hardly anything is able to ruin my day, make me utterly frustrated, or cause me to angrily punch a wall...

I really hate it when people are bad-mannered cos they think that's cool. I also feel angered when I fail at something.

• People on their cell phones talking louder than everyone else
• People talking in a movie
• People who do not stop at Stop signs
• People who drive fast and weave on the interstate in a heavy rain
• Political recordings that phone me during election week even though I am on the “Do Not Call Registry”
• The 2008 presidential election
• When I’ve just renewed a magazine subscription and then receive a thank you asking to add on more to my subscription
• When my cable company has someone call me to offer more services and that person wants to argue when I say I don’t want to add anything period
