Personality Traits You Hate

I hate it when people can't take a joke, then turn right around and throw one at you without a second thought. That's one of the reasons why i hate pre teens. I've gotten so much trouble from parents and staff at the summer camp where i usually work for making jokes that are obvious to me, but a kid taking it seriously. I only made the joke cause the kid seemed smart enough to understand it, considering he just finished telling me one, which was on par with my own.

I also hate people who have to ruin a joke for absolutly no reason. Or rather, this can be summed in by saying, people who are unwilling to suspend their disbelief. I have a friend who's exactly like this. He is completley inable to accept any abnormalities in movies, jokes, books, anything. If he sees something he doesn't like, he points it out, tells it how he thinks it should be, and then has to endure countless orders to shut up from just about anybody in the room. He's a good guy, but sometimes he drives me crazy.

I also hate people who are closed minded, especially on the topic of music. My biggest problem is when i'm driving with friends... well this is how it normally plays out.

"Mind if i put on some music?"
"What kind do you have?"
"Mostly heavy metal."
"Then no."
"Why's that?"
"Cause it's barley music."
"How's that?
"Well it helps if you can understand the lyrics, and maybe if there was a melody."

And i'm talking like Dream Theater, and Helloween here. I don't wanna start any music wars here, but i think most people will agree with me that Dream Theater and Helloween are worth at least a listen. I put up with/and for the most part enjoy all kinds of music, often with the same people as in this situation. I think the least they could do is try out my style at least once, and besides, i'm driving, so i should decide.

I also hate it when people discredit me as not knowing something on the subject, when it's clear that i know more than them. My friend tried to tell me the purpose of Karate, when i studied it for 10 years and attained a black belt, and he's never seen anything beyond The Karate Kid. I told him he was wrong, then he laughed at me and walked away.

There's probably some others, but these are the big ones.

How ya doing, buddy?

whatever. My point is that they've never heard it, so they can't classify it, yet they do anyways. Wouldn't that piss you off?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The same friend I mentioned above also does this shit to me ALL the time. For example... A month and a half ago we shot pool at his house (on MY pool table, mind you) and I swear to whatever god you believe in this was our actual conversation.

Me: "Hey, I got this new album by this band called Architecture In Helsinki. Put that on."
Friend: "They suck."
Me: "You've never heard them."
Friend: "Who gives a shit? They suck."
Me: "Why don't you at least give them a spin?"
Friend: "Fuck that, put on Creed again."

Later that week we were in my car listening to the SAME band that sucked and it went like this:

Friend: "Wow! Who's this?"
Me: "Why?"
Friend: "They sound awesome."
Me: "You think so? I thought you said they sucked."
Friend: "I never said that!"
Me: "Dude! You just told me that on Saturday! You wanted to listen to Creed while we were shooting pool!"
Friend: "Well shit! I must have been drunk!"
Me: "Dude... You've been sober since New Year's... "
Friend:

Yeah, man i've been there too. I picked up a friend of mine one day, and she hates the white stripes (i rather like them). I had Get Behind Me Satan playing on the player when i picked her up, and she didn't say a thing. I think the only song she'd heard by them was Fell in Love With a Girl, and ever since then, the band has been unworthy of her ears.

I asked her if i should turn it off, and she said no it's not bad. When we were getting closer to where we were going, she was really enjoying it, and she finally asked which band it was. When i told her it was the White Stripes she looked really confused, and refused to believe me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

One more i forgot, is when people have delayed reactions to stuff. I know this one guy who is terrible for this. I'll tell him a joke, and regardless of whether or not he liked it, he'll give me a serious look, for about 5 seconds before be gives his reaction.

Me: *something funny*
Him: .......... "That's Funny"

It's creepy. And he does that for serious stuff too. And the worst part is, he doesn't do it all the time, it's completley random. I never know what to think around him. Man, it gets on my nerves.
