Completely justified hatred actually.
I hate this so much you can all have an old repost of mine.

The Game.
You know the one, where some attention-hoarding loser will randomly shout "I JUST LOST HAHAHAHA" followed by a mixture of others also saying "OH NOES I LOST TOO". Just bugs the shit out of me.

People that advertise stuff they own and SPELL IT WRONG!
FFS, you have the thing in your posession, you've even photographed it WITH THE FUCKING LABEL and you still can't spell the name of the manufacturer/appliance. I've seen 'Pannasonuc' (Panasonic), 'Martyn' (Martin - on a guitar ad showing not only the headstock logo but also the inner label - both clearly showing MARTIN) and 'Ovartiun' (Ovation - another guitar ad) all in the last week!
It's simple to get it right, just copy out the label.
Drives me (even more ) insane.

The Daily Mail...
...no, not for all the very rational reasons for despising the fearmongering right-wing hack rag.

Advice for DM hacks: Look! There's a "per cent" sign! It looks like this: "%"! Press the shift key on your drool-ridden keyboards, and then the "5" key. The one that that's next to the one with a "4" on it - you know that one, it's the highest number you can count to. Press the "5" key too. That saves you having to put "pc" instead, which is, incidentally, an abbreviation for "per cent" I have seen nowhere else, anywhere, ever.

Companies that want our money but wont spend any of theirs
This is a rant about the state of Advertising in the great land of Aus (no we are not a fictional place run by a Wizard)... some time ago our Prime Minister (now thankfully ex-) opened up the "Free Trade" Agreement with the seppos... by Free Trade, that means they can dump all their crap, but we dont get a look in for a few years, yup, great deal that one!

The outcome of this is that every scum-sucking "International" Company wanting to advertise now ships their American made adverts to us to either play directly without any modification, or more annoyingly badly dub the ad, without understanding the demographic nature of this fine land.

It is an insult - as far as I am concerned, you want me to spend with you, then spend in my country and stop sending stupid crap this way.. oh, and that goes for your crap TV as well... only TV worth watching from you lot is stuff that is acted and/or written by "ex-pats".

Windows 7.
More particularly the fact that they made everything so fucking difficult to find. For example, if I wanted to find my security centre to turn things off or on (not just the firewall for which there is a link in the control panel) - with XP I just used to have to open Control Panel, and there it was! I had to open the Help Centre, type in Security Centre and click on the link (EDIT: and when I did click on the link I find its changed its name to Action Centre and thats all changed too... gone are the days when I could just click on something to turn it off or on, now I have to do other shit first. And Action Centre? Security Centre said what it was... a centre for your security settings... wtf is Action Centre.) Yes, I know there's probably easier ways to find it, but whats wrong with having it in Control Panel with the proper name, where it should be! Or at least if it is in Control Panel then leave the bloody name of it alone.

Talking of name changes where's Add/Remove Programs gone? Oh, there it is in "Programs and Features", why change the name? Its more or less exactly the same as it was, just with a different name. Add/Remove Programs did exactly what it said.. added or removed programs. Programs and Features doesnt take up any less space on your screen! Why??

And while I'm at it "All Programs" - If I want to look at them I'll click on it, why does it presume because my mouse is hovering there that I want to see them... I didn't click, dont fucking show me unless I TELL you I want to see them!

I just hate the way it makes assumptions and decisions for me, probably because it knows I wont be able to find anything because of all their fucking name changes and moving shit about.

Yeah, there's probably ways to turn all this crap off or make it more me-friendly, but to be honest I can't be arsed messing around with the godawful piece of shit.

And as an extra irritation, what about that annoying "windows is searching for a solution" crap.. IE goes tits up and that comes up, you have to wait for fucking ages for it to go, only for it to then re-open the same page, telling you smugly that it reopened it. With XP if IE crashed, I'd close it myself without all that annoying delay while "windows is searching for a solution". And what does it do with that solution? It fucking hides it! I came across some page the other day which had a list of all the solutions it had found and as I recall asking if I wanted to apply them or something. I havent been able to find that page since then.

XP was so much easier and more logical to use (I never had Vista). I hate Windows 7 with every fibre of my being.

The only way they could make it worse is to colour it orange.

Bieber, Jedward
Don't know and don't care about Bieber, Jedward, SuBo, or whoever else.

They all do, however, tie into two irrational hatreds:

1) Saying (for example): "Yeah, Justin Bieber or whatever his name is." Thereby implying that the person, about whom they are no doubt preparing to quote a recycled Graham Norton gag, is extremely unimportant to them, to the extent that they pretend that they have in fact been lucky to even guess the name of the person accurately.

2) Any of the above becoming substitutes for actual writing, creativity, punchlines, comedic ability in TV shows, standups, newspaper columns, and indeed conversation.

For example :-

Someone: "(Topical References) blah blah blah Justin Bieber!!"
Everyone else: "Hahahaha. Most amusing."

Parking where you're not allowed
I submit exhibit A, a local rag story about someone who was clamped.

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Driver-clampers-court/article-3401488-detail/article.html

Yes, the practices and techniques of the private clamping companies are arguably immoral.

BUT..

You can't go parking on somebody else's land with impunity and then come out with a 'woe is me' sob story about how you was hard done by and claim you didn't see the rather large and ubiquitous signs telling you in no uncertain terms that you're not allowed.

I know this area and can say that just 100 yds away, he could've parked on the street perfectly legally without restriction.

I bet he'd complain if I parked on his front garden while I went for walk around the shops. "Oh sorry, but there was nothing to say I couldn't park here"

3. People who never make the brews. I like my coffee but whenever i want one, i always ask everyone and end up having to make 6 cups. However only about three of those people have ever made me a brew back!
4. People who cannot park their car properly
5. People that drive right up your arse for no reason (I'm behind someone who is 110 years old driving at 2 mph, you driving right up behind me, won't make him drive any faster, will it)?
6. Those of you who move about in lanes of traffic, or non traffic just because you have no patience.
7. those who do not signal, i hate playing guess where you are going!
8. People who always comment on my eating habits. Yes i like cottage cheese and thanks for telling me it looks like baby sick before i eat it etc etc. i don't tell you what the lovely foodstuffs you are just about to tuck into looks like something a dog has just laid

I have a massive list of things, some of which include...
- The metric system. Almost certainly the most irrational. Especially since it is easiest to use.

- People asking me "Would you like to do XYZ?" when they really mean "do XYZ now" No I fucking would NOT like to do it; I'm only doing it because you damn well told me to!

- Text-speak. My mum has started using it and I struggle to decipher about half of her texts.

- American spellings. What was wrong with the originals?

- Using "percent" instead of "per cent". Again, a totally irrational one.

- The number of times I have to use the back-space key because my computer keys are so small.

Edit; add these.

- Having to edit my posts because my useless lard-lump of a brain won't re-call all the relevant information when it is needed.

- People who write "i" instead of I. There are two shift keys on most key-boards; please use them.

- That cat from two doors down called "Daisy" who comes in, eats all the food left for our own cats, hisses at them, sleeps on whichever bed it wants then leaves.

- Companies like Apple, Microsoft and Tesco who claim to be American (or British); most of their manufacturing facilities are in China.

- iPhones, iPods, iPads, eReaders, (in fact any of these things with the capital letter in the wrong place).

Finally...

Companies who have Facebook or Twitter addresses in their adverts and assume that every person on the planet has either. As if I'm going to join the Royal Marines purely because I saw them on Facebook.

I may need some help here.
This has been bothering me for a while now. I have a hatred, but I can't decide whether it's rational or not. Maybe you good folk could tell me?

Occasionally, I'll stop by a 24-hour Tesco of an evening to pick up some scran. I'm usually there at about 10pm, long after the usual shoppers have departed, the day-staff have clocked off and the specially-trained team of shelf-stacking zombies have taken over, wheeling their giant cages into the aisles and putting something shit on the radio. Without fail, whenever I visit at this time of night, the same thing has happened in the car-park; The first few disabled parking spaces are occupied. Occupied by cars which seem to belong to surprisingly abled people.

Shoppers march briskly up to these vehicles with creaking trolley-loads of mechanically recovered deep-fried bumholes, piling it into the boot with impressive ease before abandoning their trolley and speeding off in their battered-fat-laden cars. Cholestorolls-Royces, if you will. Or even if you won't.

Oh yeah, and the space closest the shop has always got some cock and his Max Power shit-heap in it, demonstrating his booming sound system and vintage tax-disc.

Anyhow, herein lies my dilemma; Seeing these able-bodied people use these spaces pisses me off. However, I can't work out whether my hatred is justified. One voice in my mind says "Come on, it's 10pm, there are still some disabled spaces free (albeit the ones at the far end), and anyway, it's a Tesco car-park, the disabled signs aren't legally binding, it's private property, you're being pedantic blah blah".

And then there's the other voice, which doesn't actually say anything, preferring instead to silently imagine marching these feckless able-bodied shit-nozzles into their cars at gunpoint, welding the doors shut, driving a tank over the whole bastard row, then taking a tin-opener to the remains of each roof, hauling out the twitching carcasses and feeding them through a wood-chipper into empty 1kg margarine tubs.

And then presenting each tub with its own blue badge.

So anyhow, rational or irrational? Which voice is right? Please help me decide.
