I don't know many people who claim to be goths. I only know some teenage girls who look like Goths despite not really fitting all the stereotypes about the subculture - which they probably don't know much about.

I can't stand it when people say "different than" rather than the correct "different from."
People who say "nukular" rather than the correct "nuclear" piss me off.
Same for people who say "irregardless." That's not a fucking word.
I also hate the fucked up singular/plural relationships that have become standard grammar. You don't refer to a single person as "they." You don't say, "If someone does something, they're stupid." "Someone" is not plural, hence you do not use "they are." You say, "If someone does something, he is stupid." My English profs were always a little miffed that I was "sexist" in my writing, but that's the grammatically correct way of saying/writing it, and I'm not going to write out "he or she" or "s/he" every damn time I make a reference to a single individual of undefined gender. Base it on your own gender and use that.

I have a disguised stunner for those occasions. Thanks to the glories of E-Bay i got a stunner disguised as a cell/mobile phone. Very James Bond, very painful as well.
Wow thats great... how much did you get it for

In US $ 40 + P&P top the uk. The hard part was getting it into Northern Ireland, stunners are illegal in the UK. But i managed and next time some fucker spoiles my trip to the cinema he or she'll lose 15 minutes of their life.

This reminds me of something: In the description of alignments in the D&D 3rd edition Player's Handbook, a sample lawful good, lawful neutral, true neutral or neutral evil character is described as "she", but otherwise the sample character of an alignment is described as "he."

Perhaps that section was written by someone else.

Isn't that how you're supposed to do it? "He or she" and "s/he" are too cumbersome for a concise paper.

I hate the fact that money does in fact make the world go 'round, because I lack it.

Annoying idiots who don't leave me alone when I want them to.

Another thing that gets me is excessive indecisiveness in people. "Do you want to do this?" "I don't know, do you want to? What do you want to do?" And went you get two of them together going back and forth for ten damn minutes it just gets painful. I want to smack them on the back of the head and end up making a unilateral decision.

A few things that piss me off:

- I'm not much of a grammer-nazi, but people who use the word "borrow" when they are supposed to say the word "lent" really piss me off.
Example: "I borrowed the book to him"
It's lent damn it! LENT!!!!!

- People who finish my sentences.

- People who treat their pets as mere objects who then get rid of them whent they cease to be cute.

No, it used to be "he" for a nondescript person and "she" for an object (that's why boats are referred to as feminine, for example). Now you're supposed to include both genders, or just use "she," because men are obviously evil.

Stupid weather is starting to piss me off, I want some proper seasons damnit! And what do I get? A cycle of all 4 seasons that repeats itself on a weekly basis, it's warm, it's cold, it's warm, it's cold, and oh, it rains damn near every day too. I'm in shorts on day and the next I'm wearing jeans and a jacket, and then I'm back in shorts, and the rain soaks me every day biking back from work. When I was in highschool we never had screwy weather like this, by this of year it would always be sunny & warm for days at a time, but for the past few years we haven't had proper seasons.

Here's something else which annoys me: People who, instead of using ordinary profanities, just super-glue several profane words together. This produces such strange insults as "Penismonkey", "Crapmongol" and "Gaydickpig."

Teh rain that won't go away
Teh fact that I'm moving to The Land of Nowhere and Criminals on saturday
Teh people who say something as close to racist as you can possibly get (like "I don't trust THOSE types of people" while nodding in the direction of a black man) and bitch at you for being politically correct and a race baiter when you call them out on it
People that think you should drive to Atlanta and live in your car for 5 years so you can hold an IT job, or stop bitching
Idiot employers that want a bachelor's for installing cat5

I despise Spanish with a passion, I'm constantly told "You gotta learn spanish if your going to live in Texas." First of all here's a question what was the native language of The U.S. founders? English! The point is that we should make IMHO English the official language of the U.S., don't get me wrong I fully support learning foreign tounges but speak English when your in the U.S. As for the second common argument, Spanish will get you a job to be fair that is accurate, yet thanks to the fact that everybody and their cousin speaks Spanish now its not "as true" heres a peice of advice if your trying get a job try learning a language that is both important economicly and tends to wow the masses. For example whenever I say something in japanese to someone who does not know the language or that I speak some of it the usual response is something along the lines of: Wow you speak japanese! it helps that japanese has reputation for being difficult (it's actually quite easy once you grasp the basic concepts of it).

My problem is that I already UNDERSTAND Spanish, only having trouble speaking it. Still, I don't understand why can't I take a more exciting language, like Italiano or Deutch or (Just for the hell of it)Latin.
