Sometimes you get frustrated, and talking about it makes you feel better (also a source of entertainment for everyone else and you in the future), so post your general rants here, but keep it clean and appropriate.

Today I was driving and I met 3 rage inducing nitwits. One thought my trunk hatch was open because of my negligence (its broke and I had a bungee cord holding it down, real class) so she kept trying to tell me it was open and then eventually got mad at me and cut in front of me.

Then a second guy, who I think I know from school, was riding my tail and cut me off while his buddy was pointing at my trunk.

Then a redneck at a red light used nitrous or something to get ahead of me and then revved his engine a few times in his jacked up truck like he wanted to race my piece of junk. So after he cut me off I cut him off, which probably wasn't the best thing to do.

Does anyone else deal with rednecks blasting country and driving the same big trucks? I've lived in Tennessee, Texas and Arkansas but I'm betting its a southern thing.

Here in SoCal, we mainly get those people from parts of Long Beach and Riverside (dare I call it stereotyping). I imagine there's some flavor of this everywhere. I mostly have to deal with people going a solid 20 mph over the speed limit. And I'm fairly certain that turn signals are a myth where I live.

I hate that muslims treat women as servants. I hate that women in history, generally haven't had the rights which men give themselves, but Muslims preach that a woman is unable to own property or have rights, less she goes to hell.

I REALLY hate that people have such strong prejudices against technologies which are clearly beneficial. The most frustrating talk I can ever have is with someone who is uneducated and ignorant who dislikes the thought of something just because.. GMO's is a big one, and so is the discussion about synthetic meat. One person said that we shouldn't have synthetic meat because... "I don't think we shouldn't go down that road". Not out of context, it's the entire basis of his argument.
The same guy thinks that immortality shouldn't be allowed because he doesn't think that people should get a second chance. You have one life, make the most of it. There was no basis to that argument, he ignored all examples of people who make mistakes in uni or school or other scenarios. He wasn't arguing about overpopulation or other real issues, he just doesn't think that people should be allowed to live forever.

1. Global warming deniers
2. Creationists
3. Those who advocate a privatised healthcare system. The NHS is one of the best things about the UK.

I hate people who; confuse form with function, wealth with waste, love with hate, job description with heroics, gamble with invest, journalism with tabloids, gift with loan, dignity with pride, respect with fear, concern with worry, need with desire, cause with effect, sentences that begin with the words never and always.
