What makes you angry? Get it off your chest so we can laugh at your impotent rage.

I'll just throw in a few random ones...
Serial quoters and film buffs. You know who you are. Amateur impressionists who are far from dead ringers to say the very least, who will throw in random poorly-impersonated movie quotes that loosely fit the context of conversation. I know a few, and I hope some of you do too so you can identify with how terribly annoying it is >_< Being a film buff
isn't cool. Nobody else cares. And no you don't sound a fucking thing like anyone from Star Wars.
People who use unusual words to appear clever, but fail, and get the meanings totally mixed up. I'm sure you can think of plenty of examples. And pacific/specific makes me want to slice their throats with the jagged edge of a PlayStation polygon!
Speaking of which, that leads me nicely to console fanboys who take the debate off the internet and into real life. Nice you've all got time on your hands for gaming. Much as I'd like to, I'm too busy doing shit that actually matters. I do take some pleasure in ripping holes in their arguments based on complete misunderstanding of the hardware involved. Sometimes I get too pissed off to be the bigger man and not get caught up in it! ;-)
Kids who treat music stores like a jam-shop, and shred very badly-played metal riffs at maximum watts while the rest of us are trying to browse and actually buy something. Everyone likes to dream and play on instruments they can't afford, I do it enough even now, but for FUCK's sake, you are fifteen years old and have been playing for a week. How many people do your really think you're going to impress... and oh wait, all your jailbait ladyfriends are now watching me playing piano. 0wn3d.
