I hate people who:
* Smoke in lines or while walking on busy sidewalks dooming all those around them to lung cancer.
* Spit! It makes me want to vomit!
* Talk VERY LOUDLY on their cell-phones or to each other in movies, in restaurants or the theatre.
* Line jump - either in person, or in their car!
* Chew with their mouths open.
* Pick their nose, ears or eyes in public. Extra hatred for those who pick their nose and then EAT IT!
* Have loud, x-rated domestic arguments in public.
* Drive aggressively, stupidly or rudely.
* Cough and sneeze into crowds of people without covering their mouths with something.
* Leave home without washing.
~* SMOKING IN PUBLIC *~
For those people who still like to share... You have the right to risk your own life, but not the lives of other, especially not the lives of children! You wouldn't wave a loaded firearm around in public, why because you might kill someone! Same principle as public smoking. Enough said.
~* SPITTING *~
Gross! If you must spit, please find a washroom? Or at least a garbage can. It's enough to make me lose my lunch. Do I need that on my shoes? What if the air catches it? Who wants to wear your spit? Not me. Spitting brings out a rabid streak of violence in me - I want to make them lick it up!
~* NOSE, EYE or EAR PICKING *~
Sometime between birth and now you should have learned not to pick these things! Do I have to see it? Does it need to be smeared on something I may touch? There are parts of your body that shouldn't be excavated in public. We see where you put your snot! Do I want to sit in somebody's ear wax? OH MY GOD, did you just EAT that? Also, please stop clawing your eyes out of your head. Get some eye drops. You touch your eyes, touch something, someone else touches it, and you've now passed along your eye infection. STOP IT!
~* LOUD TALKING - especially at the theater! *~
I paid to see and HEAR the show, not listen to YOU! I don't CARE about the latest sports scores, your run-in with the store-clerk, or how much of an ass your boss is! Seriously, I'm trying to have my own conversation over here, or maybe trying to read a book. If I wanted to be a part of your conversation, I'd join you. You're not sharing your creative genius - you are pissing me right the hell off!
~* LINE JUMPING *~
If I had an ejector button - these suckers would end up on the moon. Why do you think you are more special than everyone else? What gives you the right to decide your need to get through first is more important than anyone else's.
