I hate it when people don't know what the hell they're doing when they board a plane. You get idiots that just stand in the middle of the aisle while you're there waiting for them to do their business w/ your heavy ass bag. Then even after they finally get their stuff up in the overhead compartment, they start waddling around waiting for their friends/family to get their act together, thus congesting the traffic of the plane.
Then there are the people that don't know the proper procedures for take off or landing. Like, right before we take off, some stupid dad will put down the food tray and start some picnic w/ their kid. Or even worse... someone will get up as the plane is moving along the airport, getting in line to take off, to go poop or pee. I mean jesus h. christ- you had 30 minutes to do this! Then of course, they have to stop the whole plane b/c of the guy that couldn't hold it.
Worst of all, I hate the guy that goes to the plane's bathroom for 35-40 min and clogs the toilet w/o saying anything to anyone.
I happened to be in line before the guy who clogged the toilet. I was greeted w/ a toe curling stench as well as the fat man's turd.

This is why im rooting for bird flu. We need something that kills off about 20-50% of our population - preferably the stupid ones.

Used to be I was angling for some bio-weapons jockey to come up with "orange fever" - which would combine the world effects of red and yellow fever. ;D
But now I'm starting to think the same effect could be attained by taking the safety warning labels off of everything, and minting a whole bunch of Darwin Awards.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? @jen: you should take a "sad jen in snow" picture that bitch at MT deserves all the insults he can get

Oh, I haven't posted in forever, but I cannot not post here, not when I'm going thru my first ever law-school finals. Oh, yea, if there's something more to hate than LA traffic, it's preparation for your first exams in lawschool. I currently absolutely detest that the days seem waaay too short to get all the studying in I need. And I hate that outlining Civil Procedure and Torts takes way longer than you think....*grrr* I can't wait till vacation.

Civ Pro is an enigma to everyone, so just know what you can and remember that you'll hire students to figure that crap out for you in the future.

Actually, I find the fact that you have to go to school to understand the law in the first place not just a little disturbing.
Pythagorean theorem: 24 words Archimedes' Principle: 67 words The Ten Commandments: 179 words The Gettysburg Address: 286 words The Declaration of Independence: 1,300 words US government regulations on the sale of cabbage: 26,911 words
Gack.

Its a lot easier when you realize that "the law" does not exist in a Common Law society. Its basically a mix of what dead white people have said, and whether today's old white people think its still a good idea to keep it that way.
Which is why I would fear getting arrested in the U.S. As I learned in Crim Law, despite the fact that you're presumed innocent until proven guilty, the judge, prosecutor, and probably your own lawyer and the jury all think you're guilty. You're more likely to get off not by proving your innocence, but by proving that you shouldn't be punished even if you had committed the crime.

I hate people who passive agressively insult you then when you fire back or defend yourself they tell you you're paranoid and that you are too sensitive. I had a friend like that that I knew for ten years. Finally I just put them on block on my e-mail, stopped calling and allowed myself some time to think about the whole situation- and I've come to realize I'm better off without them in my life.

Can you give an example of a "passive aggressive insult"?
What I'm imagining seems... unnatural.
Certainly I know what you mean about "friends" that aren't friends. One of my favorite quotes from Calvin & Hobbes (Calvin's uncle): "It seems like all my friends are imaginary."

I love that quote from C&H Palliard- that was such a great comic.
I guess a good example of a passive-aggressive insult would be: "wow, that hat....it's really......different" or, if you know someone is unemployed and you say "you don't call me anymore, and it's not like you don't have the time."
I guess basically it's a veiled insult, somewhat sugarcoated because the person is too spineless to say exactly what they feel.
hope that helps.

It's a veiled insult
Ah. THAT I understand far too well. I have "friends" like that myself.
The only lesson _I_ took away was that I needed to be pickier about who my friends are.
