Things That Annoy You

[SpaceProg]

To be completely honest with myself, I don't really care that much either.  I don't hate the rich (well, except for the ones that actually do think they're above me simply by having more jingling in their pockets), but I'm just pretty much apathetic.

[Flying Mint Bunny!]

My mum hugely distrusts rich people and thinks everything is a rich conspiracy.

Personally, I think it's just easier to tell whether or not a rich person is an arsehole.

[PosthumanHeresy]

Honestly, there's very few rich people I like. Those that give a lot to charity or piss off all the other rich people are cool. That said, with everything but video games, I'll pirate it, and I'd prefer to buy t-shirts or collectables.

Cramps. :<

I concur.

I (literally) feel your pain. I've been having some pretty nasty ones all day.

I have the awkward finnish teacher for my cardiopulmonary class. I cant stand listen to him, he sucks at speaking and constantly pauses midsentence. Its even harder to listen to his lecture recordings

Most of my family refers to videos on youtube as "youtubes" and it drives me nuts. Not "Youtube videos" or even just "videos," they just say "youtubes." As in "I watched a youtube on how to do x."

I got my first "Mom, is that [person] a boy or a girl?" in Wal*Mart today. The kid got shushed and pulled into a different isle before I could think of anything to say, but a lot of people heard and seemed to wonder the same thing. I suppose I can start waving my closet privilege bye-bye.

My mother and brother both call websites "dotcoms."

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Closet privilege"?

Closet privilege is the set of privileges afforded to people who aren't openly/obviously queer. It's similar to straight/cis privilege, except the person in question is only assumed to be straight/cis. For example: before my haircut/wardrobe change, people would assume I was straight/cis and be surprised when I told them I wasn't. Now that I'm expressing myself more openly, I have a harder time "flying under the gaydar", so to speak.
(And if you're wondering why you've never heard that term before: I made it up, because from what I understand "passing privilege" isn't quite the same thing. I apologize for any confusion.)

[SpaceProg]

Ahh.  That's a fitting term though.  I like it.

Have you considered breaking the news that not all websites have a .com address?

In significantly worse news: I happen to know of a person who uses the word "googling" to refer to sending text messages. As in, he'd say "google me the address to X" to mean "send me a text with the address". To this day I'm not sure if he does it on purpose to mess with his kids.

At least they know how to use technology, my mom has more or less no idea how to use a computer and a DVD player.
