Snotzies who think that only people without disabilities should have the right to live.

Shoes/boots that make a loud clopping sound.

Wet days. I can't go anywhere when it rains, because I don't have a car. Parents yelling at their autistic children threatening to hurt them when they're having meltdowns.

People changing my words

- Being very wet on days we have to go somewhere.

- When my dad acts like a literal 12 year old and wonders why people can't tolerate him.

- The "Ignorant expert" that clog up tech forums/groups who can't engage without acting like hot headed high school bully. Got banned on Beyond3D for pointing out that Burnout dev's openly stated the PS2 was stronger than the Xbox. lol

Smirking, smug exes.

Some sales tactics.

"Buy this couch for only £5 thousand!"
The word "only" seems to make it not sound much apparently.

Or on Amazon:
£10.99 £9.99
Even though the product was never £10.99 to begin with and £9.99 is most likely too expensive for said item.

When someone tells you something very frightening and unreassuring then adds "sorry but it's reality".

Mr. Wormbrain telling Canadians what to do when he is clearly too brain-damaged and a foil hat wearing nutjob to be telling people in his own country.

Let me explain in case you don't already know. Mr. Wormbrain just told some people in BC *not* to cull their ostriches after they found two of the birds dead from avian flu. I'm not happy that the gruesome task of killing ostriches may have to be done to prevent a deadly disease from spreading to humans, but then again humans are not as important as birds and other animals.

The running gag of cats knocking over Christmas trees, even though I've never known a single cat to knock over a Christmas tree and is probably something a dog is more likely to do than a cat. In fact I did watch a video one time of an experiment to see which animal had the best motor skills by lining up skittles and getting an animal to walk through them. They tried it on a dog first and he clumsily knocked over every skittle when they call his name. But when they called the cat's name he very carefully and skillfully walked among the skittles without knocking any over. Then they tried a rat and he pushed some over with his nose or hands as he waded through them.

But I remember I had a cat who would often walk along the shelf above the fireplace and she was always really careful with stepping very gingerly between the ornaments and very rarely knocking any down.

It seems cats get a bad press, like they're portrayed as being clumsy, uncoordinated, stupid, even dirty and rude (how many movies have you seen where they make a cat character burp shamelessly?) Um, no, cats are very clean, neat, clever, careful and dignified little creatures in general.

The cat wet the bed, twice.

Repeating myself over again to clueless people on the phone.

Anime.
