Irrational Hatred
People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

7 for starters....
I’m not entirely sure if they’re rational or irrational, but they’re hatreds none-the-less.
(1) People calling me to tell me they’ve sent me an e-mail.
“Hi Hunter, I’ve just sent you an e-mail”
“Well bully for you.”
“and?”
“and what? Oh – you want me to read your e-mail and respond to it. Well DON’T FUCKING CALL ME TO WASTE MY FUCKING TIME THEN.”
(2) People with a lack of spatial awareness cavorting in public with an umbrella, then looking on disapprovingly as you knock it out of your way six millimetres before it removes your eyeball.
(3) Ignorance – I have a drinking buddy called N – N isn’t a stupid guy by any stretch of the imagination. He’s not going to win MasterMind any time soon, but he’s not stupid. He has managed to raise his two kids pretty damned well and supports his family through thick and thin. BUT – his use of the English language is appalling. I don’t mind bad grammar or spelling etc. if it’s because of (a) a lack of a decent education; (b) dyslexia or some other form of specialness; or (c) because somebody is genuinely a fucktard – these generally can’t be helped, but Neil doesn’t have any of these excuses. A prime example – either a text message or an e-mail stating “Are see you there”. What? Really?? You’re using “are” instead of “I’ll”? The thing is that I have mentioned it to him numerous times, and he acknowledges that it’s wrong and continues using it anyway. “Are see you later”. AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH.
(4) Out-of-power politicians immediately blaming everything on the new Government.
“Unfortunately the country’s in a mess because we inherited a bag-of-fucking-shit economy from the previous lot”
“You’ve been harping on about that since you took power – you can’t keep using it as an excuse”
“Is the economy still shit? Yes. Did you make it shit? Yes. Can I therefore still blame you that the economy is shit? Yes I fucking can”.
(5) People who talk down to people who swear. I cannot fucking stand this.
“You only swear because you can’t think of anything else to say”
“Actually, I can think of many other things to say, I just think that calling you a shit-for-brains stuck-up wank-sock sums up my sentiments better”
All you are doing when you refuse to swear is limiting your own vocabulary – nothing else.
(6) People who irrationally hate Simon Cowell. You hate him because he’s a smug, smarmy git? I’m pretty sure that if I made several hundred million quid from doing nothing more than shovelling pube-shrinkingly bad music down the throats of the more mentally retarded sections of our public that I’d be a pretty smug, smarmy git. You hate him because he produces some of the worst music ever heard? Fine – no problems there...
(7) Bouncers. All of them, ever (except one who’s awesome and one who’s dead) – though I’m pretty sure that this is in fact a perfectly rational hatred...

And breathe
I hate Simon Cowell because he's a cunt. Nothing irrational there.

Agree and disagree
Agree with 1 a lot. Somehow an email (or a text message) is supposed to demand your immediate attention but a phone call is just a quiet unobtrusive follow-up? Er, no, it's the other way around you fucking eejit!
Agree with 5 a lot too. Disapproval of swearing is the sole preserve of motherfucking cuntsuckers.
Agree with 4 a bit, but there is a tipping point where a government that's been around for more than a couple of months harping on and on about the shitty hand they've been dealt becomes just a bunch of lying gits whose own policies have failed. Not a party-political point - they all do it. They also forget that, when they were in opposition themselves, they went along with everything and even urged further deregulation of the banking sector/rail privatisation/what-have-you.
