What crazy prejudices do you habour?

I think your prejudice is most odd. Can you explain further?

This thread is really crying out for someone to say something like "I think homosexuals are weak and shouldn't be allowed to drive in case they get distracted by looking at boys' arses and crash."

O

Another prejudice of mine: people with any piercing other than an earring.

So my only prejudice is Otis, then. Other than that I'm completely happy with everyone.

Okay, not really. Hippies, though, I tend to be initially quite adverse to.

God, yes! And I have no idea why this annoys me at all, but it does. Have you ever seen people stand upstairs? That's even more outrageous.

I like women called Charlotte a lot. But I have a feeling I've just been lucky.

I third the people standing on buses and must also mention COUPLES HOLDING HANDS ON THE STREET and impeding my god-given right to walk faster. AND AND AND AND AND people standing on the left on escalators.

Another public transport one: people who get on the tube without letting people off. If anyone does this to me I walk very hard into them in a casual sort of way, simultaneously sticking my elbow into their ribs and smacking them with my heavy bag. For the love of God, Ken, help us!

Also really, how difficult can it be to work out how to use the BR ticket machines? Christ.

I think it might have been taken out of service now.

I think people who buy Time Out any day after the Wednesday its dated are really dim.

That SO annoys me. I'm annoyed now, just thinking about it.

Nu Metal fans*, as stated above; don't feel agressive towards them, just a bit wary, cuz it's very likely that we won't get along.

* isn't it odd how there still isn't a real term for this sub-culture, even tho they're as easily identifieable by their look/clothing as mods or hippies or punks or b-boys or whatevah?

And so, apparently, does Rainy.

Dude, I think that the average member of this category these days wouldn't even know who the fuck Insane Clown Posse are! Or at least not beyond "oh yeah, those guys Eminem dissed".

but this is maybe more appropriate for the "people that need to be rocketed into the sun" thread.

big-pants-wearing motherfuckers?

people who wear lots of Axe deodorant creep me the hell out.

I'm a big fan of 'latent homosexuals,' myself.

... I hate it when people sing the wrong lyrics to songs (one of my best friends does this constantly)

I hate it when people walk cats on leashes.

Poor spelling drives me insane, especially from people with expensive educations.

I hate designer handbags. What does your $1000 bag do that a $20 one can't?

I don't like Oprah. Smug is only charming up to a point.

Germans make me vaguely uncomfortable.

At the moment, my crazy prejudice is anyone in "Marketing". Wait, that's not crazy at all. It's perfectly sensible.

It's not about function anymore, it's about status. Of course it's ridiculous because maybe half of the girls who have a Balenciaga or Chloe probably had to save up to buy that handbag. If I would use handbags more often, I'd probably buy more expensive bags, but I rarely if ever use'em so why bother, right?

Other crazy or not-so-crazy prejudices I harbor include (i.e. I really dislike the following): people who drive around and talk on their cell phones at the same time, people who spend FOREVER at the ATM (luna OTM here), Oprah and her followers, people who think Ty Pennington is attractive, people who hate dogs, people (mostly women here) who think size 14 automatically = fat (well, sure, if you're 4'10", but there are people out there under 6' tall for whom size 14 = perfect), people who wear/like animal print stuff, people who wear a lot of loud jewelry (certain members of my family excepted), the practice of double dipping, large families (unless they're from multiple births, e.g. the McCaugheys, or from multiple adoptions), people who think life is one big joke, eyeglasses hatred, children who have to run everywhere, screaming children (as in screaming ALL THE TIME), people who leave heaps of food behind at buffet places, bad tippers, The Gap, Donna Karan, people who never use their turn signals (there is no excuse), Santana, mariachi music, people who are over the age of 30 who think the only "evil corporation" out there is Wal-Mart, celebrity worship, CBC News, goth poseurs who think that goth = devil worship or mopey depressiveness and ruin it for people who actually love the goth aesthetic (one of my very good friends is a "real goth" -- she is as sunny as they come), celebs who got famous without doing a damn thing other than being attention whores, sun worshippers, people who undergo a shitload of unnecessary plastic surgery, and people who salt their food without ever tasting it. That should do it. Oh! One more -- Home Depot employees, who don't know a damn thing and are harder to track down than Bigfoot is. I had to tell an employee there that yes, a certain bit of toilet hardward DID exist and felt a mixture of smug and flabbergasted when I was able to track it down at Ace Hardware Supply. There. That's it.

Hahah I soooo agree with that one Dee! ;D

1) swimmers who refuse to dunk their heads underwater for fear of losing their contacts or mussing up their hair

2) people who hold onto the treadmill handrails while running -- especially if they set the incline to 10% and lean back as they run

3) people who whip out logical fallacy accusations in non-academic debates

4) athletic-style chronometer wristwatches, like this one:

5) fratboy types who wear the above

6) fratboys

7) people with tiny fingernails

Woah, I never realized it before, but I share your #7. I just want to grab their hands and push their cuticles back.

Smugly middle class fuckbags

How do 'smugly middle class fuckbags' manifest themselves?

Apart from using phrases like "manifest themselves"?

Hey, I'm not proud, the theme was crazy prejudices, right?

I'm always prepared to be proved wrong on this, but I've never met anyone in my life who drives a Range Rover who isn't a complete and utter tosser.

Also, old men who drive in hats. Not necessarily tossers but always bloody dangerous.

i assume that nice people never get laid

Laid people never get nice, neither.

dirty italians. can't trust any of them

old men in hats are one of my favorite things!

people who talk through their teeth

Pregnant people. I'm still convinced it's catchy.

(This one dates all the way back to high school, probably.)

I am suspicious of women who wear jewelry of Black Hills gold. It means meth or child abuse or just mild meanness lurks somewhere.

Holy poop:

I generally think poorly of any woman named Tiffany.

I am crazy prejudiced against anyone I went to junior high or elementary school with. All giving me PTSD and shit if I see 'em.

teenagers. i hated most of them while a teenager too, i think it's similar to abbott's post above.
