Someone asked me once, 'Are you a misanthrope?' And I said, 'No, I just find people irritating.'
~Craig Kilborn (Paraphrased)
Some like to use the term "Pet Peeves" to describe things they do not like, some like to use the term annoyed, but for me, certain things are just downright bucketloads of irritating crap that simply piss me off. I am sure some will take offense at some of these, but then that irritates me as well.
Here are 50 such irritations, but it would take volumes to complete a proper list:
~ Cameras at sporting events constantly looking for so-called “celebrities," especially a dolt and her sidekick (think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce)
~ Celebrities giving political advice--giving any advice or attempting to speak intelligently!
~ Commercials showing so-called everyday life with every ethnicity possible (except white people)
~ Stupid people (consider this a constant)
~ Voters
~ Elections
~ Politicians
~ Political yard signs
~ Men pretending to be women
~ Non-chivalrous men
~ Rudeness
~ Transgender anything
~ Slogans on automobiles
~ Wearing pajamas in public
~ Messy, unclean slobs
~ People who think wearing ripped up used clothing with holes everywhere is fashionable
~ Body-covering tattoos from head to toe (especially women)
~ Metallic facial and body mutilating piercing (except earrings)
~ 'Smart' people who cannot get over being stupid
~ Political promises
~ Addiction to a cell phone where one's face (and brain) is perpetually locked on the screen during every activity
~ Sequels (except classic James Bond movies)
~ Not getting a thank you or thank you wave
~ When someone posts your personal information or pictures on social media without permission
~ Lying--all lying
~ "God bless America" and "God is on our side"
~ Religious fanatics preaching that everyone has to agree with them
~ Dependent cowards
~ Masculine-deficient men
~Men hugging (redundant)
~ The F-word used as verb or adjective in every sentence

~ Rap, especially if loud, crude, and nasty
~ Managers and all feigned authority
~ Gossip
~ Nosy people who do not mind their own business
~ Tattle tails

~Asking me for any solution to fix other's problems
~ Victimization mentality
~ Anyone offended by simple words
~ Anyone offended by words who expect retribution or compensation
~ The very mis-used term "Racism"
~ The idiotic term "Antisemitic"
~ Loud-talking dumbasses
~ All controlled opposition to real freedom and anarchy
~ Star-Spangled Banner and Flags
~ Nationalism and fake 'patriotism'
~ The thought that I may be irritating while writing about things that irritate me!
Well, there you have it. My short list of things that irritate the hell out of me.
I am striving to become a more positive person, a person with feelings for others, a person who wants to be liked, a man who can entertain the thought of the idiotic notion of the 'greater good,' but when I woke up this morning, I was positive that most human beings are assholes, so I ran with it! Sarcasm after all, is the essence of a life fulfilled and enjoyed.
I amaze myself by how many times a day I am annoyed at the stupidity! The lesser of two evils bugs the shit out of me. EVIL IS EVIL no lesser than nonsense.
Oh my goodness what a fantastic list! I laughed out loud and can relate on all points especially “When I woke up this morning, I was positive that most human beings are assholes”. Love your writings Gary. I would personally add: electric cars, people still wearing masks, social media fake crap, people asking if I got the “vax”, and anything to do with so called covid. But I guess that falls under the Stupid People heading. As you stated there are volumes more to list. Most of the world has gone bat shit crazy and I agree it is highly irritating.
