They don't even give wigs to kids with cancer anyway. Kids with alopecia and sometimes burn victims are their main targets--and they sell them those wigs, they don't give them away.

People who have such a forceful love or hatred for a certain thing--music genre, book series, movies, games, whatever--that they get almost VIOLENT towards people with differing opinions. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU MISERABLE SHITBAG?? FINAL FANTASY VII IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER CREATED ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MANKIND! YOU DESERVE DEATH FOR THINKING OTHERWISE!!" "(Insert band or artist name here) is ABSOLUTELY the WORST THING EVER in the world. EVERYTHING they/she/he has ever done is utter shit! If you like anything they've ever done, you're one of the stupidest human beings alive!" I understand we all have things we love and things we can't stand--just live and let live. You sound like an idiot no matter which side of the love/hate spectrum you're on. THIS! I don't encounter much of the extreme hate towards a certain thing, but I cannot STAND people who love something way too much. It's fine to enjoy the things that entertain you, but I really only want to hear people get excited about things that actually matter.

Not entirely accurate if you are referring to Locks of Love. They provide wigs on a sliding scale according to financial situation. If the kid can't pay, they get the wig free. If they can only pay like 10 bucks, that's all they need.

Unfortunatly that's what it's become. Instead of it being what it was in the 80's it's "WAAAAAAH SHE BROKE UP WITH ME WAAAAAAH!"
- People who ask me why I don't get a haircut. Here's an idea. Why don't you fuck off?
- People who tell me to get a haircut as if it were an insult
- The chick in my chemistry and english class. Grateful I only know her name, but having to spend two hours a day in the same room as her is far too much to ask. Her voice is so annoying that everytime she speaks I just want to punch her in the face. What's weird is I'm not the only person who thinks this.
- The one guy I know who went on and on yesterday about how rap and hip hop are the best music genres ever while rock, metal and anything else that isn't rap is shit.
- People who ask me questions about every little thing I do. So I got bored and put safety pins all around my binder. Why do you feel the need to ask me why? Does it bother you in some way? Too damn bad.
- People who think I should care about every little thing that happens. Oh my God two people who I don't care at all about broke up. Who the fuck cares?
- Douchebags whose shittly little cars can be heard from 3 blocks away because the amount of bass their car has is the same to that of an outdoor concert. Even worse when it shakes the vehicle I'm in so much it's like being in the middle of an earthquake despite being in a province that's no where near a fault line.
- People who on MSN lose all spelling skills. I get that it's only MSN so you don't need to spell everything correct but atleast get it close to being right. It's hard to read something when there are letters in words that aren't even close to being right. It's as if they're typing blindfolded and the keyboard is upside down.

If they can only pay like 10 bucks, that's all they need. It's still an all-around bad organization with shady business practices. If someone else wants to chop their hair and give it to a company that will likely sell it anyway, fine--but I hate that people try to guilt me into doing it. No, jerks, I did my fucking homework. Donating money to cancer treatment and cure research does much more good in the long run.

Even worse when it shakes the vehicle I'm in so much it's like being in the middle of an earthquake despite being in a province that's no where near a fault line. This will cheer you up: ran into an old friend from school in the pub last week, and the conversation turned to mutual aquaintances from the past. Turns out that a little jerk with a thing for obnoxiously loud music installed an apocalypse grade speaker system in his incredibly cheap car, but when turned all the way up the vibrations actually caused a great deal of damage to the car, and nearly wrote it off. Had this verified by someone else, it's true.

Things/people that annoy me:
Anyone who tells me that I should get a haircut. This counts double if they say something like: "I think it might be time for you to get your hair cut," as if I just hadn't noticed that my hair grew out.
Anyone who puts their bag in the window seat and then sits in the aisle seat. This counts triple if there is a perfectly suitable luggage rack above the aforementioned seats. After a polite request to move and/or a one-stop grace period, any standing passenger is entitled to feel perfectly justified in climbing over the offending passenger, shoving his/her bag haphazardly out of the way, and sitting in the newly-vacated seat.
Anyone who tries to scam me out of a few dollars with a cover story that is wildly implausible, full of holes, or impossible. I'm walking down a local city street nowhere near a highway and some guy comes up to me: "My car broke down on the freeway. I need a few dollars for gas for my car. It's that white Pontiac in the parking lot over there!" Gee, that sounds perfectly believable! I know my car teleports to a parking lot whenever it breaks down on the freeway! I'm walking through Penn Station on my way home and someone says: "The clerk says I need a few more dollars to get a ticket home to Scarsdale!" Note to non-locals: The train to Scarsdale departs from Grand Central and the ticket clerk at Penn Station would not sell a ticket for it. This counts double for anyone who has "just needed a ticket home that night" for two weeks running. It also counts double for the guy who addressed me: "Hey there, my dude."
Anyone who wants to "aks" me a question. (Or is it "ax" me a question?)
Anyone who can't spell, can barely read, and has difficulty even talking properly but demands that everyone else learn English. ("English is the offical language," anyone?)
Anyone who blames the victim.
Anyone who assumes I'm a tourist because I have a camera.
Anyone who assumes I'm a terrorist because I have a camera.
Anyone who declares "think of the children" as an excuse to ban something which is self-evidently not intended for children. This counts double if said person has ever taken his/her own children to see "Passion of the Christ."
Anyone who considers my disinterest in sex to be a personal failing. This counts double for anyone who assumes that I want to find a mate, but cannot. It counts triple if I have explicitly told them that I do not wish to find a mate. It also counts double if anyone responds to my explanation by insisting that I just haven't found the "right" person.
Anyone who assumes that I am just as interested in their hobby, book, movie, music, or favourite television show as they are. This counts double if I they interrupt something I'm doing because they just have to regale me with the details of what happened in the latest episode of Captain Adventurepants or whatnot. It also counts double (cumulative) if the thing they're interested in and assume I must be interested in is racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted in a way I can't think of offhand, gratuitously violent, pornographic, or anything else that should lead one to think twice before sharing it with someone on the unjustified assumption that they must be just as interested in it as you are.
Anyone who assumes my relatively low levels of epidermal pigmentation means I'm sympathetic to their racist views.
Anyone who plays very loud music in public. The fact that you are wearing headphones doesn't count if I can make out the lyrics to your song from halfway across the room anyway.
Egg creams that are stingy on the syrup.
Hotels with slow wifi that you have to pay for.
Sandwiches that turn out to be mostly lettuce.
Gum snapping.
Spitting.
*whew* *deep breath*

*People that expect me to have children as a matter of course, and look at me aghast when I say no. Ideally, children would be born only to people that would love and support them enthusiastically. I am not one of those people. I am quite happily barren, and the contents of my uterus are no one else's concern.
*People that ask me what I want to major in during college or what career I will take. The questions aren't exactly rude, but they are overused to the point of annoyance. Henceforth I shall be telling them that I will major in bovine excrement.
*Extroverts that assume introverts have something wrong with them, are repressed, or are envious of extroverts. Quite the contrary. I'm not introverted because I'm shy or insecure; I'm introverted because I prefer more subtle forms of entertainment.
*People that consider humor to be automatically low-brow or separate from art, intellectualism, and class. There is a terrible dearth of humorous art. There is a terrible dearth of humorous art critics. And academics, and artists, and politicians. Far more people would be interested in the State of the Union Address if it was sprinkled with bad puns and rubber chickens.
*The color orange.

Here's a huge thing that annoys me. People who play Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc and then try to convince me how awesome they are with the instrument. DONT TELL A BASSIST HOW MUCH YOU RULE ON THE BASS ON GUITAR HERO!! It will get you shanked and left in an alley for the rats. Learning a real instrument of any kind is difficult. Something that can take years to be good at and a life time to master. Five various colored buttons and a little switch does not a musician make! I KEEEEEEEL YOU!!!!! -hates- I've heard most of the jokes about this kinda shit, but people actually do that? Subtract one from my "Faith in Humanity" points... I've encountered people who've played wii sports, and then think that's the proper way to actually play (eg, throwing a bowling ball down the lane...) But, to be fair, most some of them were kids...

People who call themselves "spiritual" and scoff at religious folks. You're no less deluded. Just because you don't have a book to follow doesn't mean that floaty, ghosty, copies of ourselves really reside in our bodies and live on in some other unseen realm when we die.

I believe that souls exist, but that is merely a truth. However, I'm not the only spiritual anti-religious person on this board. It seems like you're saying here that you need to be atheist or GTFO. That's just the impression I got, though.)

Another huge peeve of mine:
*DANE COOK. If I ever see this man, I will stab him in the motherfucking eye.
*People who condemn foreign music because its not sung in English.
*People who think Rammstein = Nazi. Dumb bastards are dumb.
*People who assume I'm an introvert because there's something wrong with me. I just hate most people.
*People who publicly post their code, but get pissy when I (or someone else) tells them their formatting is abysmal at best. I got one guy that told me "That's how my professor told me how to do it!" Pfft. Go back to your classes, child, and let the real programmers do their work.
*People who can't take an honest critique.
*People who think that, because they're in college, they're automatically better than someone else in the field who hasn't gone or can't go, even if they have more experience and talent in their big toe than the little college faggot has in their entire body. I've had people debate me for hours that college makes you a better programmer, I personally call at least half bullshit. I've seen (through a friend) what they teach in those programming classes (Java, of all things) and how they teach it. I got the same schooling when I was in 9th grade VB6 programming.
OK...enough ranting for now.

The only difference I can see is that one adheres to a dogma (in varying degrees) and one doesn't. They both still share some kind of unsubstantiated beliefs. edited for redundancy

Hmm... it's not so much that I scoff their beliefs but how they came to it: through a misinterpretation of a book that's already horribly translated. Not to mention the rampant abuse that religion can cause. edited for failure to proofread
