From the mouth of Faroohk himself,

   THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF

1)  When I'm standing in a line, the guy behind me who says "Hey man, hurry up!" to me.  Hey buddy, I can only go as fast as the guy in front of me, alright?

2)  People who wildly misuse the term "gay".  I'm not talking about occassionally saying "That web page is gay" or "Those shoes look gay", I'm talking about people who use the word to described ANYTHING they don't like.

3)  When someone tells me "You know, a lot of people are saying negative things about you."  And when I ask who, he says "EVERYONE is saying it, man.  They all complain about you."  And I say "Well, who are all these people, dammit?" and it turns out to be one or two people.

4)  People who drive around with their stupid rap music turned up so loud that the bass feels like someone is giving me CPR with a sledge hammer.  To all you who do this:  We don't like your music, we don't care how loud it is, and no matter what excuse you use for it (i.e. "I can't turn it down any lower", "I can't hear it otherwise", or my favorite, "it's how I express myself") we still know it's just a stupid way of showing off how much you can annoy people.

5)  Women who take on the attitude of "I'm being a bitch right now, but I'm having my period and my hormones are all messed up.  Therefore, anything I say or do I cannot be held responsible for."  I don't buy it, in fact I just see it as an excuse to vent out whatever they want.  I think that if girls want to continue to do this, then their boyfriend/husband should beat the living shit out of them once a month and say "Oh, my testosterone levels are a bit high today.  I'm not responsible for hitting you."

6)  Women who act all mad and upset, and when I say "What's the matter?" she says "Oh it's..it's just...well...oh nothing...", then continues to act mad, though denying it, and finally gets pissed off because I didn't "try hard enough" to figure out the problem.

7)  People who have a conversation right next to me and say things like "Really?  No shit, you're kidding.  You're not?  OH MY GOD!  That's so amazing!  I can't believe it!  And it's happening today!  That's so cool!"  and when I finally ask what they are talking about, they act as though I've just invaded their private life.  If it's so private, moron, talk about it somewhere else.

8)  People who say "are you sure" or "Really?" after everthing I say.  "I went to see a movie today."  "are you sure?"  "No.  I was on some pretty intense mushrooms at the time, so, who knows?"

9)  People who think I'm a pussy because I'm going to college and work in an office, rather than doing "man's work", earning a living "by the sweat of my brow", like carrying bricks around for 80 hours a week, getting paid 2 dollars a day.

10)  The ignorant people we have today working in schools.  I read a story that about a little fourth grader who asked if the new windows with those wires all through them were bulletproof as well.  The teacher interpreted that as a threat.  In another school, a kid was expelled for getting an earring.  In yet another, a kid had a nail clipper with the file on the end of it, and he was expelled.  Exactly what kind of ignorant people are making the decision that these are warranted as threatening or offensive?  The level of stupidity a person must be at to make these decisions is astounding.  These are the people that are educating our children.  Our future.  How do these people even get JOBS?

11)  People who always have something funny to say but then it never really is.  They think they are so witty and clever, and every joke just falls flat, and they never get the hint that hey, maybe I'm not funny!  A prime example of this is those late nite guys like letterman, who do those top ten lists that just plain SUCK.  "And the number 5 reason not to hang out with OJ is that he'll kill you!"  Yeah.  Original, clever, and really funny too.  I can tell you put a lot of thought into that.

12)  People that use a little shortcut or abbreviation for EVERYTHING on the net, and/or people that use stupid spellings for words.  These shortcuts are ok sometimes, like IMHO for "In my humble opinion", but using 2 for to and too, or b4 for before, and u for you.  It's just an annoyance of having to take an extra few seconds to puzzle it out in my brain. 

13)  People that talk about things like "Chevy's are the best cars around" even though they don't even own a car, or think that Jimmy Page is the greatest guitar player in the world and don't even play guitar, or think that Gateways are the worst kind of computers and don't even own any kind of computer to begin with.

14)  Those annoying people that just randomly approach me and say "You know what?  I could kick your ass if I wanted to.  Just because I'm 3 feet tall and you're over 6 feet, if I really wanted it bad enough, I could take you."

15)  When I try explaining a religious concept to someone, and they say "Oh yeah?  Well, you drank a beer once, so that negates everything you say because you are a hippocrite."  Whatever.  Anything I've done in the past, or still do today, has nothing to do with anything.  It's completely irrelevent.  Even if I kill someone, it doesn't make the words of the Bible any less meaningful, even when coming from me.   "Thou shalt not steal" has the same meaning whether coming from Jesus or Charles Manson. 

16)  People that say "I'm gay and it's OK because I was born that way!"  Yeah, well so area child molesters and rapists.
