10 things i hate about people

1. people who put up AIM away messages and still talk to people behind their away message. its a total abuse of the away message system.

2. people who pop their collars. seriously why? and even worse are the guys who wear a popped collar shirt under their popped collar over shirt.

3. people who grub for grades. if you didnt do well, you didnt do well. unless there is a legitimate error, the reason you didnt get the grade you wanted was because you probably didnt get the grade you deserved. i'm not saying you cant complain about your grades, but dont whine to the professor/teacher about it.

4. the whole tip system in general. i hate how tips are expected at restaurants. if i'm paying, i should expect good service and not have to leave a bribe to get it. if i want to give a tip for exceptional service, that should be the only time i add extra money.

5. people who actually buy faded and torn jeans for $70 bucks to get that worn look. seriously.

6. people who cannot enjoy things sober. did you really need to drink to go to that concert? did you really need to pregame that dance? you should use drinking as a means not an end of itself.
7. people who come to class, work, or social events while really sick. take the day off rest, get better, dont infect everyone around you.

8. most people who have blackberries and other mobile email devices. you really are not that important. and do you have to wear it on your belt??? and leave the sound alert on?

9. people who talk to you only to sell something in their business. especially on airplanes. if you want to have a conversation, i'll talk to you. dont try and sell your business to me. tell me somethign interesting, anything.

10. people who read blogs but dont leave comments.

I don't think that I've ever experienced number 9, but other than that I'm totally with you (and I can definitely see how 9 would be annoying). 3 and 4 especially piss me off. Maybe it's just that CS and math are more laid back than other fields, but grubbing for grades seems to be much rarer than in bio/pre-med. That's actually probably just because grades don't matter nearly as much for us, but grade-grubbers are still incredibly annoying.

I'm leaving this message out of envy of course. A person that has the capacity to put up a nicely designed blog should also be able to put some content to it. You use the word "hate" too easily.

Good luck with loving people! :-)

hi, so i was searching for The Rock quote about losers whining about their best, and then I found your blog, and then read the part about how everyone finds your blog by searching for that quote. I had a response to how you hate tipping, and then got to number ten on your hate list. So here's my comment:
I hope you tip because most waitstaff are paid well below minimum wage (some around 2.50 an hour) so the tip isn't for exceptional service, it's part of their pay. I understand it's kind of an annoying system, but as a former waitress, it was even more annoying because some people thought it was okay to not tip.

have a nice day.

People all suck. You ever heard that song by Say Anything called "I Hate Everyone."
Modern society sucks. That's why I like being a country boy, we still have some sense of humanity in us.
God bless and god willing we'll all shape up soon.
