What I REALLY fucking hate is people who say, "No offense but (insert blatant insult here)."

WHAT THE FUCK?

Does saying "no offense" somehow cancel out the fucking offense? People who say shit like "no offense" really need to be attacked by hobos with sticks after saying that.

No offense but this topic blows and you do too.

No offense but I hate you all

Actually no offense can be used properly but only rarely. I can't even think of a situation where it would work.

Except when used sarcastically ( of course ) , "no offense" is a form of eliminating possible condescending tones in an ambiguous statement ( like with "good game", versus "gg" - the latter is generally considered more rude, despite being an equivelant statement ) .
Mostly useless, since word-choice and context almost necessarily have a far, far larger influence upon the reception of a statement, but hey, whatever.

"no offense" can have its purposes... people just use it in any situation. Like if something really bothers you and you want to inform them, without any malicious intent, I believe that context is appropriate.

Moar:
- People who drive huge vehicles (such as trucks) just to look big and special. Trucks have a purpose, use it to that purpose. This somewhat relates to my comment about egocentrics...
- People who do things (such as exercise) more than necessary, and then brag about it. Unless you are in a group of people who cares about it, doing that will only make you look dumb.
- People who ask for help, and then for whatever reason invalidate whatever I tell them (i.e., in math class. Someone asks the teacher a question, she is busy. I give a simple and understandable response, and they reply "Was I asking you?")
- People who are unecessarily rude to arbitrary people for no apparent reason. Perhaps they have an existing reason if it is an isolated incident, but if it is someone like a classmate that you see regularly it really bothers me.
There is a lot more things about people... but I'm getting distracted from this post. I think I'm done.

I fucking agree...

-People who are larger assholes than I am
-Spawn killing on CoD4
-Tag alongs
-People who assume all Germans are Nazi's, and Germans who assume they are Nazi's because they are German (Yes, I've met people like this)
-Jewish people who won't get over the holocaust and use it to try and garner sympathy from everyone else
-Middle class white kids who don't have a want or need but think everyone hates them and their life is the worst in the world
-People who listen to Linkin Park and call themselves hardcore
-People who assume that Metal is all screamo
-People who think they're good at guitar because they're good at guitar hero
-People who think they're badass for playing M rated games
-People who think they're badass for seeing R rated movies
-People who think they're cool because they pirated music using limewire
-People who think they're cool in general
-People who, when given a compliment, say things like "I don't think so" or, "Am I really pretty, do you think so?", try to get more
-People Who Type Like This Really Piss Me Off

I think most of those things are self explanatory, well, except the 4th, there used to be this kid at my school who was German and said he was a Jew killing machine because of it, it seriously pissed me off >.>

YES.
My cousin seems to think all the games he is allowed to play are totally awesome because they are M-rated and he is underage. I asked him "What does a game rating have to do with how fun it is?" and I don't recally getting a straight answer.
Also, it isn't necessarily people who think they are cool that is bothersome. In my own little world of myself, I think I am cool, and I'd assume most people think themselves to be cool (unless they are self-destructive or hate themselves.) It is when people go beyond just thinking they are cool themselves, and thinking that other people think they are cool.

Hmm. I like this topic. It lets you rant about the things that bother you in the world. Whether or not people care is irrelevent, it is nice to just say it and get it out in the open.

I respect everyone by WHO they are... However there is one thing that bugs me to no end...

-Fat People

Maybe it's just the fact that no fat person I've ever known is nice. But other than that...

-Half-erased black boards. Although in my school, they use marker boards
-People who don't listen, say a teacher calls your attention in front of the calls for you something you didn't do and won't accept a excuse or won't listen a word of what you say. Even more if it's a teacher
-That teacher that thinks it's all cool
-That teacher that tries to be your friend and fails terribly
-That teacher that pushes you to go as fast as you can
-That people who blame you because you didn't lend them copy during an exam
-People who pick on me
-People who hit/slap/tickle you and then look the other way, pretending they didn't do it or hoping you won't notice it was them. The later is the worst
-People who force you into eating something you don't like
-Stubborn people
-People who think they're absolutely better than you and don't feel shy about letting you know - In very annoying ways
-Slutty girls
-That guy who talks to nobody and actually thinks he's the most reasonable and most popular guy in school (Wanna know more?)
-The semi-emo people
-The emo people that think they're actually cool for being emo, when they're actually just a social reject
-When people turn into a love couple about a week after meeting
-[When on a relationship] People who test limits (Wanna know more? It's kind of Psychological, and I know about it because -regrettably- I've done it myself before)
-When you are alone and you want company
-When you are accompanied and actually wish to be alone
-That person that you don't like and that for some reason thinks you like him as a friend, and therefore, won't go away
-People that don't understand when you want them to go away e.g., When you ignore them, don't look at them, don't really care about what they say and they don't understand it
-ppl who wrte like diz cuz its just fcking s2pid (Not 1337 speech, it's completely different)
-People who listen to Reggaeton (In reaggeton, every song -as if it was a dogma- has a really similar beat and rhythm, making every song very monotonous. What's worse, the rhythm is really simple, enabling anyone who has as a skill to sleep with his/her eyes closed able to come up with a rhythm for reggaeton)
-People who dance Reggaeton (It's like having sex with your clothes on. It includes complete touching of whatever parts)
-People who actually LIKE the lyrics of Reggaeton (Anything sex, drugs, vicious topics related that denigrate women - who for some reason still dance it)
-Like Matt said, America is composed by two CONTINENT, not a country
-Otakus
-Flamers
-Trolls
-Smokers
-When someone knocks your door and you open it only to realize it's a christian trying to turn you into their religion (nothing against Christianity or Christians, I'm a christian myself)
-Racists
-Sexists

I will think of more later.

Forgot about these...
- Government
- Illegal immigration
- Black people who think it's OK to say "nigger" because they are black.

I also hate the whole "No offense but..." shit. In my world, "no offense" means "I'm about to offend you."

When people don't capitalize names, like rather than writing Farty, they'd write farty, things like that bug me..

- People who take serious things way too lightly.
- Telling someone you're going to hurt yourself/suicide over the internet. I don't know you in person; why the hell do think I care?
- Children who are like, "I'm gonna commit suicide if you do!"
- People who use profanity where it isn't necessary.

-Emos
-Radical Christians
-People who look over your shoulder if your on the Computer
-People who wake me up at 7 in the morning for no reason
-Noobs.
-Pot heads with multiple peircings and hair covering at least one eye
-LOUD People
-Swimming holes with rocks everywhere
-The present-day School System
-Children

That as well. Also

-Little kids who fuck you up because they know you can't do anything to them because "they're just kids"

Ahem, you mean
-Little boys who fuck you up because they know you can't do anything to them because "they're just kids".


Don't generalize my little girls

I'll agree with you.

is TWO continents*

By the way, I'm not even getting started on what I hate about the school system. Worst shit ever.

Yep.

People who start a sentence with "I'm usually open-minded" or "I'm an open-minded person". No you're not, dipshit. If you were you wouldn't have to coddle yourself into thinking you are open-minded.

Dogma. Thinking that what you believe is irreversible, irrefutable, incontrovertible. Guess what? It's not.

People who claim to be "okay" with homosexuality, then state numerous homophobic stereotypes in descriptions of homosexuals and things about them they are "okay with". You're not "okay" with gay people, you're okay with flamboyant, retarded stereotypes, and you deserve to be punched in the face.

People who are "alright" homosexuality and then turn around and spew a bunch of hatred towards transsexuals/transvestites/transgendered people. Some of these people are actually homosexual themselves. Fuck you.

People who claim bisexuality is not a valid sexual orientation, but rather a "transition sexuality" until you "figure out" your "true sexuality". Again, fuck you.

People who vote for a political leader or vouch for a religious leader ONLY because of their membership.

People who like war. These people are a lost cause, I say drown'em or send them to go and fight. There's a line between fighting to protect what you deserve and just fighting for the fucked up need to kill people. Don't call me "unpatriotic" because I don't want my country to destroy itself, or because I like this thing called "The Constitution".

Seriously man.

Whats the worst is at my school we have a black vice principal exactly like this, and will punish you extra hard if you do anything to offend a black.

This comes to mind as well
