Post about something that you dislike. And please, no personal attacks.
Commercials for fruit smoothies.
"With the healthy and tasty superfruits strawberry and pineapple!"
(That particular one tastes horrible, btw.)
Any mature/NSFW things should probably bear a warning-tag.

I hate when you're in a vehicle listening to some awesome music, and someone goes to turn the volume down to say something to you.
Argh!!! I can hear you just fine over the music, and you turned it down at the best part!!!
Even worse is when they don't turn it back up afterwards.

"Free MMS:ing on Valentines day, Halebop customers only!"
I've gotten three! I know about your offer, jerks!

When other students interrupt you in class to finish your thoughts and try to make themselves sound all intelligent...when all they do is make themselves sound stuck up. And then, when you tell them about it later, they smirk and "apologize" without meaning it, as if you're too stupid to comprehend them so it's okay and they are excused.
(Just happened in class today. I wanted to stab the guy in the eye. RGH).

When people doubt my interpretation of my experience.
("I think I'm about to pass out." "No, you're fine.")

When I'm at work, and my boss tells me to do something that is not within my job description. ARGH.
It's not my job to do that, but it's my BOSS telling me to do it! >.<

When something happens or is going to happen and no one bothers to tell me about it until the last minute and then get upset with me over it.
"Hey Rarako, Jim-bob's birthday started an hour ago where are you?"
"I'm at work, and since when did Jim-bob have birthdays?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK OFF?!?!?!?"
O.O "No one bothered to tell me."
"... oh, sorry I forgot to tell you. I figured someone else would."
"Ok, tell Jim-bob I'm sorry I couldn't be there."
Obviously yelling at everyone else at the party "Yay, she's not coming.... Yah she didn't ask for time off..."
Click!
Oh gets me so peeved...

I hit my elbow when I tried to leap out of bed the other morning as fast as I could (in a bunk bed).
It didn't hit a nerve. But it did leave a nasty cut. And for the whole rest of the day the joint hurt like hell whenever I bent it.
It was not fun.
"Hey what-AH GOD AH!!" "?!??!" "...no I'm good now. So-AH MY LAWD!!" "!??!?"

People giving you advice when you don't want it.
The endless amounts of car insurance commercials on tv.. especially the Progressive ones... that woman scares me!
Biting the inside of my cheek, and constantly touching it with my tongue, so it takes forever to heal.
People on randoms that try and tell you how to play your class, when you're already doing EXACTLY what they're telling you to do. grr..
etc etc

The hunter that needed on a strength ring. I won it, and then he repeatedly begged for it, and said that it's not good for me.
I was playing my warrior at the time, so I actually had a use for it. You'd think that after getting a Hunter to 74 you'd know what stats to hunt for...

Trying to gear up multiple 80's.
Picking the wrong flavor of anything and only finding out after you started eating/drinking it.
Having to decide what off-spec random toons are going to have.

People stealing the art I've uploaded on Deviant.
It's like two sketches, and some jackass took them both and applied color, and then had the nerve to call them his own.

Kids who scream and wail in restaurants, and their parents who just sit there and don't do anything about it.

People explaining things like they were talking to a five-year-old... "...and if you push this button, the TV AND the Digibox will turn off at the same time!" "No shit sherlock..."
People who think that they always know better than anyone else. It doesn't matter where you get your information from (even if it's from experts), you're wrong, wrong, WRONG, and he is right, right, RIGHT.
People who treat people like they were slaves or something. *in the middle of a huge fight* "Mage, water, NOW!" Yea, how about you wait till we get rid of these first. -.- And if you ask for water, maybe you shouldn't cancel the trade when I'm trying to give you some.
Paladins who only buff you if you ask for it ten times (and then they buff a Mage with AP o.o) and then spazz out the second your buff fades off them.
How come my Mage gets all the a-holes? I've had Hunters who deal most of their damage with melee auto swings and DOZENS of pally tanks that only buff themselves, don't talk at all (unless they want to complain about how the healing sucks) and need on everything. Once I even encountered a Hunter that was in the same guild as the healer...
Me: "Hunter... Where's your pet?"
Healer: "Pets are just trouble."
Me: "I've never had a problem with my pets on my Hunter..."
Healer: "You want a prize or something?"
Right after that the Hunter and healer teleported out of the instance in the middle of a fight and stayed in the group.
... Okay, enough ranting for now. XD
