...I always strive for a catchy title- I think I try too hard. And maybe that bothers you. ;)

...Anyway! To better explain my title- what are traits that you absolutely cannot STAND in a person? The kind of traits/attributes(physical, mental, whatever) that just make you want to turn or walk away. Let's try not to be unbearably insulting if it's directed at someone, too- sharing your opinion is fine, but let's steer clear of extremely offensive comments.

As for some of mine:

• Small-mindedness- I can't stand it. People who will not think outside the box. This includes people who go through life refusing to try new things and claiming they hate them when they actually have no idea whether they'd hate it or not. People who stick to their traditions and beliefs without question, though, I have mixed respect for this, as well- it's both admirable and ignorant. An example of how it is ignorant is how religious homophobes back up their claims about homosexuality.
• People only talking of themselves- this is more of an online pet peeve. And while I give responses to what is being said, when I come out with things, a person only talks more of themselves. Come on. It's a two-way street. I get so sick of asking all the questions.
• Cliches, unoriginality, commonness- yes, this is probably petty of me, but...I turn most people away on the basis that they are just too boring for me. And by turn away, I guess what I mean is- I simply don't make much of an attempt to engage with them. Don't get me wrong- I don't tell it to their face. But someone whose life and conversations revolve around talking about other people- namely celebrities and famous dirt- well, I'd far rather have a more meaningful conversation about the human psyche. Ideas. Creativity. Not who broke up with who or who's finally going into rehab. Actors and actresses tend to interest me on the basis of being capable of acting and what roles they can portray- let's converse instead about what kind of person they would have to be or how they might pull off a role like whatever character they're being. If we're gonna talk about people, let's talk in-depth.

...I admit I'm a picky person. >.>

I have many more, of course, but- let's hear some of yours. Just little quirks that drive you up a wall- let's not shoot for anything huge like dishonesty unless it's the type of person who poses or makes up shit.

I suppose what I mean is, when you first meet a person, what kind of traits turn you off? Think petty, my dears. ❤

People who use the phrase 'pet peeves'.

And for irony's sake, I am actually annoyed by all of the synonyms of "annoy": irk, pet peeve, what-have-you.

You wanna know what's horrible- I hate the phrase, too. I don't even really get it...a pet peeve. Is it like an annoyance you keep like a pet? However, being a writer- even if it's a poor...alliteration, is that the correct term for it?- I can't bring myself to just make a title like, "What bugs you most?" or something like that. :c

people who often joke about/think the holocaust/hitler is funny/cool

lol and i /hate/ it when people use backslashes to italicize words. like that ^

people who use excessive smilies and weird ass smilies like ;A; that take for EVER to figure what the hell its supposed to be.

people who agree with you on EVERYTHING.

i have a bajillion.

Hm, to add on since I have been inspired a bit-

I loathe people who take life too seriously. ...it sucks because I'm a hypocrite and I am totally not at all an exception to the bromide, "it's funny until it happens to you." ...But I switch between- why not laugh at whatever you want and- olulz, time to be respectful. I guess it works out in the end because I have friends for both times.

x))) ";)" smilies bother me in excess- and many times, it seems to be done in a rather condescending way. IE: "ugh, I keep staying up late every night when I have school." ";) Why not trying to go to bed early." Yeah, that gets irritating, however, ironically- I am guilty of it. >>

...Then again, I'm a hypocrite to some extent- which, unsurprisingly, plenty of people find more than just a little annoying.

People who use really annoying fonts such as yourself, .

How unfortunate. If I could, I'd make it bigger, but I can't...or at least, it won't show up for me. :B; But way to personalize it, hur.

I'm OCD and it kills me:

tags sticking out of peoples clothes,

Unever numbers or patterns,

DIRTY HANDS; okay I'm crazy enough to take a bottle of hand sanitizer everywhere and make sure everyone gets some.

No organization,

Fallen objects in stores; I literally go through the whole store picking up or reorganizing things that bug me; the employees just look and smile.

I can't go anywhere without things like this driving me crazy...

No, it's the fact that you made it bold and so squished together, that it hurts my eyes just to read it, HUR. T_T

EDIT: Plus the color just makes it worse.

When a simple topic turns into people constantly trying to burn each other.

People who go to the extent of talking to strangers to avoid silence. Fucking annoys me if I don't want to talk and some idiot doesn't know when to shut their mouth.

On a related note: People who do that long, drawn out "Soooo....silence" in those situations. I could stab them. If you start the conversation with a 'so', you best continue it...why the hell do they expect me to reply if I'm just there minding my own business. If someone does that I either ignore them, or go "Did you want to say something?".

And I cannot stand people that try to get involved in that which doesn't concern them in the slightest. The type of people that report 1 day out of date car tax and the like.

And people that accept a country's law, unquestioningly, as their own moral code.

people who write odes and sonnets about their 'magnificent' friends anywhere on the internet and finish it with 'they're better than yours, you touch them i kill you' go die, stupid fucks

and those who can not get over the fact that i won't care about someone's personal tragedies unless i LIKE the person yeah, that includes death of the people close to you i see no point in wasting a second of sympathy, or any feeling whatsoever, if i don't like you
