Well you shouldn't be smoking anyway so you don't need one. :p

I'm not! But as a former smoker, I understand the moral struggle you face when you chuck a butt out the window. :p

Call me butthurt. Call me a crybaby. Call me "already ready to leave after being given attitude a few times by Kway".

 

But you can also call me "completely unwilling to put up with any more bullshit from internet bullies like Frizzle".

 

 

No wonder teens commit suicide.

I genuinely fail to see the bullying, but okay. And I'm pretty sure teens commit suicide because their hormones are imbalanced due to puberty and their prefrontal cortex isn't completely developed.

 

Oh, and the whole punching people was a big hyperbole (and I may have been a wee bit tipsy when posting it), but it really just makes me uncomfortable when people say things like that to me. I do outdoorsy things like hike up mountains and whatnot. I just umm... try to be in the shade or wear sunscreen. I swear I get enough Vitamin D just by driving to class or work lol. I'm just really careful to try not to get skin damage.

Yes! especially if its something important. Don't people know how to respond properly, At least PRETEND you care!

 

Haha growing up, this guy in our neighborhood used to yell "Satan worshippers" at me, my sister and my friends when we would walk by his house, like really guy? Because we have 'unnatural' hair color or like darker clothing. So ridiculous.

It's pretty ridiculous, I agree. Me and my Besty got ready to head out for the day and some ladies came to the door to talk about...ya know, religious stuff. She's Pagan, I'm a Catholic - so this stuff doesn't rrreeaally bother me, EXCEPT then they tell me my religion is wrong and they have everything right. When they start that, I start speaking in Latin and telling them I'm summoning Lucifer. My Best friend start rolling her eyes back and acts possessed. Those ladies got so scared and ran for it. We've done this on the train when people start staring and making comments. So much fun. :D

When I tell my twins, they NEED to eat their soup and they just stare and mimic at each other....

Then my oldest -when he's usually the tiny mammals alpha male in the house- decide to take their party and not eat it as well, because his sisters aren't doing it either!

I end up looking at my husband with that murder's glare *why aren't you doing anything?!?!?!* and if he could send out a SOS signal to anyone, he would  :help:

I *do* smoke, and one of the biggest rage-inducers for me is seeing people chuck half-smoked ciggies or butts out the window...the whole general lack of regard for (first and foremost) just carelessly introducing a fire hazard to the world and (secondly) littering just amazes me, and not in a good way.

 

My car doesn't have an ashtray either, but I got and use this, and it does the job well.

If you chew with your mouth open, you should be stoned in the town square.

I AM DREADED when I see a plastic seat moistened with a butt print towards the summer season. It happens a lot in one of the lecture halls without A/C.

Well, I don't particularly maintain my eating etiquette when I'm stoned.

I am sure stones are hard to eat without your mouth open, so your excused.

I didn't think I would ever experience this again, but I did recently so I'm kinda on a rampage...

 

How the hell isn't it racist to tell a pale person that they should be more tan? Would you tell a black person to bleach their skin? I'm so very sorry by skin tone offends you, but you know what? You practically just told me to get cancer from skin damage. I'm very careful with my skin because I can burn. I have skin cancer on both sides. I am NOT going to conform to current beauty standards because it's not just going to cause me wrinkles later, it could potentially kill me. Think before you speak. How hard is that? I just want to punch people when they say something like that or they say that my legs are blinding them. Fuck you, too. I think I have very nice legs, thank you.

I feel ya, but I'm not pale because I'm super careful. I just don't tan. I burn, then become pale almost immediately again.

 

Although I don't care much for the fact people don't think it's pretty that I'm pale (I don't think an orange face is pretty so yeah), it particularily grinds my gears if people jump back in horror and shout "Omg are you okay?? You look like you're dying!" Gets even worse when I show up in people's faces without make-up "eww, do you have the flu?"

 

I get it, I'm pale, but geesh, do you really feel the need to constantly remind me I look like I'm terminally ill?  :rolleyes:

When my parents try to push religion on me and they know my stance on it for the past 10 years.

 

The fact that no matter how much allergy meds I take, I'm still miserable.

I hear you big time on the allergies.

As one of these people, I'd like to apologize for all of us everywhere... How the hell am I supposed to pick mustard when there's 83 varieties?

Well that's a very good point, but you seriously couldn't come close (even if you tried) to comparing to what I ran into at the grocery earlier!

 

And, I might add another along the same vein:

 

Grocery Store Zombie Minions: These are even lower than the mere zombies...they block their carts as stated previously but maintain a completely blind/spaced-out demeanor while they proceed to have lengthy LOUD cell phone calls with family vacationing in Siberia or France, with the phone passed to each and every family member.

Mouth noises like when eating. Drives me insane. Or when people move their face to their silverware to eat instead of moving the silverware to their face.  You slouch and look silly. If you're worried about spilling, just sit closer to the table - or take less on your utensil, ya dingus..

People walking on the left side of the sidewalk, FFS is not that hard to walk always on the right side.  

People who walk looking the phone, not just checking it, walking like a 100 meters looking at it.

People with whom you agree to do something and cancel it at the last minute.

 

Those are the kind of people that have a special place in hell.
