I can't believe I just read 13 pages of posts just so I can write about my pet peeve (and be sure it wasn't already discussed in detail by someone else).
I have many, but I will give my top three.
1. Intolerance. Like Vodstok, I am an atheist. But, I live in the deep American south. When I moved here, one of my wife's employees discovered we were atheist and warned us not to let that get out or we will find our cars smashed up one morning. What gives with that? How can you insist that I believe in something like that? "Hey!!! Believe in pink unicorns, asshole! Just 'cause you haven't seen 'em doesn't mean they're not there!!"
2. Trashy people. I used to work at a gas station before this not-so-sweet teaching gig I have now. People would come in and pay for their gas with sweaty money they pulled out of their bras. Talk about nasty. What's next? Gonna plop the change out of yer asshole? (Sounds a little intolerant of me there.)
3. People who are bad "for fun". I'm sorry, but vandalising the kids' playground for a good time is plain wrong. And where's the fun in torturing someone's pet? It's all good fun, until someone keys YOUR car! Then it fuckin' sucks.
