Hypocrisy
Incompetence
Incoherence, and it's particuarly bad when I realize i'm being incoherent
For f@%ing everything these days...
Religious people sense of rightness
So much this. I was having a discussion with one religious zealot and he kept insisting, "he's your god too" when I referred to yahweh as "his god". No asshole, I don't subscribe to your fairy tales. Though, in a nod to keeping the discussion civil, I limited my responses, to "no, I don't subscribe to your beliefs." Getting upset, yelling or insulting only plays to their ability to project victim-hood. So, it's important to stay calm and keep the conversation rational and focused on the failures of their explanations. You will never convince the delusional to give up their delusions, but you can convince the other people around, who aren't fully delusional, to question the delusions.
Starch. This limits what I can eat. Unfortunately I didn't know this growing up, so I ate a pretty carb heavy diet which caused health issues which caused me to be grouchy a lot. Took until I nearly 40 to figure out that I wasn't just an unstable asshole.
Parents refusing to notice their children's needs
It's a real problem, but I hate filler words. "Um uh hmm" just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It's at a level where I've seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn't really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it's so hard.
That's sad to hear, especially since filler words are a vital part of our language
Lies and deceit.
I feel like I'm being played for a fool by not telling me the truth and wanting to sugar coat it or something. I can't stand it whoever it comes from, be it a stranger or my own mother.
Bigotry
Dithering... Shit or get off the pot.
Intolerance.
Thanks karl popper.
_Everything _ for some reason I am super sensitive to drugs of nearly any kind
People unable to pick up sarcasm through text.
