The song "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)" by Natalie Cole - quite possibly the most annoying song ever recorded. This is probably one of the grandmothers of what I call "screaming female vocalists" such as Whitney Huston, Taylor Dane, followed by Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, ad nauseum. These women are capable of singing prettily when they do so quietly, but prefer to sing as loudly as their voices will allow them, in an attempt to shatter glass or attract dogs.
When I read something like "I must of left the keys on the table" instead of "I must've left the keys on the table". The former makes absolutely no sense.
Following close behind is the new word "prolly" which is found frequently in Internet conversations - such as "I prolly can't go to the concert tonight". Prolly? What the hell is prolly? Hey, Captain Illiterate! The word is "probably" -- as in "I probably can't go to the concert tonight." Pick up a book and read it instead of gluing your stupid face to the TV screen during every vacant hour of your life!
Another super annoying song is "At This Moment" by Billy Very and the Beaters. It is a gutless, spineless, whining song. The old saying "There's plenty of fish in the sea" is as valid today as it was when it was first coined. Any sap-head who would "subtract twenty years from [his] life" so that he could just hold his gal again, who's been cheating on him with another man needs to be castrated, as he has already done it to himself anyhow.
Any song by Taylor Dane.
Bruce Springsteen -- not just his music but the man himself. There are few musicians I dislike more.
Commercials that try to promote the idea that it's "cute" for little kids to wreak havoc in their homes as their idiot mothers watch, shake their heads with a smile and mop up the mess, or their equally useless husbands think about buying their wives a new dress for a night on the town as his child paints the off-white sofa with chocolate pudding.
Anyone who shows up on a whine and talk show such as Jerry Springer.
When I let someone on the highway cut in front of me and they don't wave back.
Nighttime soap operas like Beverly Hills 90125 or The OC.
Equally annoying are the television shows that try to appeal to the spiritual side of things, and of course, that means it has to be "based" in some way or another on the Bible, or contain characters from the books therein. These shows include Highway To Heaven, Touched By An Angel, Joan of Arcadia, and the more recent mini-series Revelations.
The Dispensational trash known the world over as the Left Behind series of books, movies, etc.
Television shows that want you and I to forget the fact that every lesbian we've ever seen looks like a truck driver and walks with more force than any man I've ever seen, and to cause us to think that lesbians are beautiful, long haired, well dressed women. Listen up stupid, the women in the dirty magazines are not lesbians. They're paid to do what that crap. They simply have degraded themselves so much that they can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong. They think everyone is as messed up as they are.
Liberals who actually believe that they are objective.
The sound of some jerk's thumping bass speaker in his car playing his (c)rap CD coming into my house.
Lawyers, especially "ambulance chasers".
When people consider actors or musicians as heroes. Actors and musicians are famous for being famous. They are not heroes. Granted, some actors do use their super powers for good, such as feeding the hungry or any number of other charitable works, but many do their charitable donations in order to get a large tax break and to further their status as famous people.
Militant homosexuals.
People who think I ought to feel sorry for them because they have been "working for 275 days without a contract". BIG DEAL!!!! I've been working all my life without a contract you lazy bastard!
People who think that they have a "right" to this or that. In this country you have the right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. It does not mean you have the right to BE happy, only to pursue it. It most certainly doesn't mean you have the right to health care or the right to an automobile. It doesn't even mean you have the right to a job. Sometimes you have to make a job for yourself.
Minority groups who feel it's okay to keep boring us with their hardship stories. You've never been a slave and I've never owned one. And you and I have never been in a concentration camp. Let's deal with the here and now issues like the Christians in China being abused, all the while we remain on friendly trading terms with them.
Bed wetting liberals who cry about the treatment of war criminals. War is hell. And whatever it takes to get information out of psychos who love the idea of dying for the glory of Allah, and to gain the reward of their personal harem of brown-eyed virgins, is okay in my book and in any book on war from the past.
Heretics. I don't use this term in it's broadest sense because then there'd be stake burnings all over the world. I use it specifically for those who claim the name of Christ and who teach doctrines that no Christian has ever believed. So, as much as I believe that all religions other than Biblical Christianity are false religions, I don't include other religions such as Buddhism and Mohammedism, etc, because they never claimed to BE Christian. My gripe is with outright heretical institutions such as Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Word Faith preachers. If I were king, unless they repented, they'd be thrown alive into a burning mass of garbage.
Pelagius, Arminius, Charles Finney, and every other wicked man who has harmed Christianity from the inside. This would also include those liberal theologians from every age, who deny the inerrancy of the Word of God, who deny the Trinity, who deny the supernatural/miracles, who embrace the notion that "Christianity is true 'for me', but your religion, whatever it may be, so long as you live it to the best of your ability, is true for you. Afterall, we're all going up the same mountain, just taking different paths." There is a special place in hell reserved for false teachers.
People who think the right to "free speech" means they can say anything they want, but that if anyone says what they don't like, they have the right to censor them! Just to let you know, the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech does NOT mean that anyone has the right to say absolutely anything they want. I do believe in limited censorship. It is illegal to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. It is illegal to talk of assassinating the President of the United States. There are other instances as well that are not allowed. So why then, is it okay for street criminals to write beat poems about raping women and killing police officers? Why is it okay to write heavy metal lyrics that slander and blaspheme King Jesus? All the while it's not okay to have the Ten Commandments in public view in the courthouses of the United States and/or in public school buildings?
Boy bands such as Boyz2Men, 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys, etc.
When people use the number 4 to say the word "for" or the number 2 to say the word "to".
Michael Jackson. He used to be a nice looking young black man. Now he looks like Joan Collins. I must admit that I do enjoy some of his music though.
Anyone who thinks that O.J. Simpson is innocent.
People who cry, scream and faint at the site of their idol, such as Michael Jackson, Elvis, The Beatles, etc.
History revisionists.
Walt Disney Corporation. I don't even know where to start, but my main gripe is the blithe way that WDC deems it responsible to make historical cartoons and to revise them to fit modern "sensibilities" rather than reporting truthfully enough (though artistic license must be granted to anyone making a movie, as sometimes real life is a bit dull).
People who have no control over their children. If you let them run wild, may they rise up and kill you.
The fact that Meteorologists (weather guessers) make as much money as they do when they are as wrong as often as they are.
"Christian" T-shirts with pithy sayings such as "Got Jesus?"
Neck in neck with "Christian T-shirts" runs the "God Speaks" billboards popping up all over the United States with extrabiblical sayings such as "It's a small world. I should know. I made it. [signed] God". These things are probably meant to promote the presence of thoughts of God in public life, but really what they do is trivialize the true, inspired and revealed Word that really is all that God has to say to mankind at this time.
People who give it less than their best in their work and expect to get compensated like the ones who do give their best.
People who believe what the TV says carte blanche, without checking things out.
People who dislike or have anything bad to say about Fred Rogers (Mr. Roger's Neighborhood)
Modern day Saturday Morning Cartoons. They're all about learning something, or some sort of cultural morality lesson, like how to be a global citizen or why we ought to love the earth because it's a living being. or some other pantheistic crappolla. What ever happened to senseless fun like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck? They were funny. Even Ren & Stimpy was funny for the first season or so. A nice does of nonsense never hurt anyone.
Latino radio.
Having Spanish language anything in the United States. And yes, I am for English being the official language of the USA.
People who drive around still donning their Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker. Losers.
People who feel they need to use the "F" word at least once per sentence.
People who get offended at the "F" word but who think it's okay to abuse the name of God.
Psychiatrists.
The promotion of the THEORY of evolution as if it were viable fact.
The song "The Greatest Love Of All" as sung by Whitney Huston (I don't recall who wrote it).
Oh, what the heck, I'll just name a bunch of people in this one: Malcolm X, Tammy-Faye, Ru-Paul, Barbara Streisand, Whoopie Goldberg, Ed Asner, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Bono, Roger Waters, Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Tyne Daly, Phil Donahue, Bette Midler, Steven Tyler, The Kennedy's especially (Ted and Patrick), Hillary Clinton, People that support Hillary Clinton, Ted Turner, Jane Fonda, J-Lo, Ben Affleck,
Referring to Alcoholism, Overeating, or any number of misconducts as a "disease". Call it what it is -- a lack of self control.
Women who have children only to hand them over to a nanny because she needs to return to her "career". Your "career" is supposed to be raising your children. What more important "career" is there???
People who do not fit into the category of a viable member, and complain that they are being discriminated against. For instance, wouldn't you have contempt for me if I tried to get money to go to school from the United Negro College Fund? I'm not a Negro, therefore I do not qualify for that type of educational support money. Would it be right for me to complain that I am being discriminated against? Think about it.
Affirmative Action.
People who forward emails containing hoaxes, themselves believing it to be true, and with good intention, wishing to communicate this great "truth" to their friends and loved ones ... without using sources such as hoaxkilll or snopes to at least try and verify it.
More to come .... I wrote these 50-odd annoyances in just under 2 hours, in one sitting. Just imagine the fun that is coming ...
