Political liars.

Those people who will tell barefaced lies, or subordinate their own personal belief to that of their chosen political party.

Sickens me every time.

So just politicians in general then?

Based on the above, have they not reached zombie status already ?

RossFixxxed

Anyone who uses the word 'sheeple'.

Anyone with a conspiracy theory full of holes, that pre-empts every question with "a stupid person would probably ask...."

People who spend their time going to YouTube/IMDB/Game/Movie/etc sites to comment endlessly on things they hate, trying to drag people who like it down.

Fanboys/Fangirls of EVERYTHING in the world.

Other people, especially you. Yes, you.

On a related note when I was teaching only two children out of a class of 30 seemed to be aware of how to kill a Zombie once and for all.. Wish you'd been there with me Jack to set them straight!

And their civilian mouthpieces, who are probably worse to be honest.

I don't understand Apple hate.

Like, is there a similar section out there who are vociferously anti Android?

That said, have met some apple fanboys and they are awful odd people.

Disclaimer : I work for Apple but am not speaking for them here, just stating my own opinion!

I speak to a lot of people every day who seem to have a hate on Apple but still for some reason seem to want to keep buying Apple products and then complain about them.

Left to myself I would rather they didn't buy, so they won't complain. Also working in Tech Support as I do, often the problem isn't with the product itself but user error or factors outside our control e.g the customer bought a device believing it had a feature it doesn't.

That said I think the fact that they keep coming back says they recognise that while all machines (even Apple ones) can perform unexpectedly and break down, it happens less often to our products than to competitors'.

Also from a tech perspective, it's possible to have a device which is ideal for one person's needs and not for another... e.g Debian is great if you want to set up your own server but not so good if you want to easily create a photobook of your family and friends.

Still, if you mean the pretentious tw*ts who sit around in cafes wearing turtlenecks trying to write the next great American/Irish novel on their iPads then I agree - come the revolution they'll be the first to go!

i cant speak for everybody but for me it comes from a perception of greed on their part in the way that their products only work with their products, iTunes, chargers etc... rather than being universally compatible.
I also dont understand the people who queue up all night and shell out hundreds of pounds for the latest gizmo that is a marginal improvement on the perfectly functional gizmo t hey currently own. It's scary watching them, like theyve been brain washed

People who missed the word 'inexplicably' in the thread title.

That would make it inexplicable then, wouldn't it

That's right folks, I've now been turned against 90% of the people in this thread :pac:

Coeurdepirate

Conspiritards who think that chemtrails and fluoride in water are issues.

Psychics/mediums/palm readers/forture tellers are, in my opinion, the highest class of cunt going, and anybody who believes in them is an idiot.

OldNotWIse

People who interrupt.

Yes I do find that it's the people who don't exactly have "indoor voices" who are the most inquisitive about you. There is a definite correlation there.

Solution to nosy people: Tell them lots of lies.

When asked what my salary was in a job I had a few years ago, I used to multiply my actual salary by 12 and give them that number. When told I was bulshítting, my response was "If you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer!"

OldNotWIse

People who say, "you're joking" when you tell them something they don't want to hear.

I respond with a completely expressionless face and a couple of seconds silence while they try to stare me down and then I say, "No. I'm not" and continue staring at them blankly.

True, unfortunately in this case people need to be protected from their own stupidity!

Then realise they've interrupted, reply with a sweet "oh sorry, carry on" and then go straight into a different subject once you've finished without acknowledging what you've said. :mad::mad::mad:

What really annoys me about them is that they think you're stupid or naive if you don't believe in those conspiracies too.

mickstupp

People who walk down the road smiling for no apparent reason. Very suspect.

People walking across the road when the lights are red totally oblivious to cars and what not.

There's only one thing worse than a person who believes everything is a conspiracy and that someone who believes there aren't any at all.

obriendj

A one-way conversation-ist.

Chatting with someone you kinda know but dont really at a party or function. A bit small talk, how things etc. When you find yourself asking about them and their lifes but they never wonder about yours.

wretcheddomain

People who support Paul Murphy.

Kiwi in IE

Religion!

If you ask a colleague/acquaintance what they are doing on the weekend and they tell you they are going to church, grand! Appropriate context. Not that sort of religious person.

If on the first day of meeting a person their conversation is peppered with 'praise Jesus', 'I have been praying for.......' and constant religious references in all conversations completely unrelated to religion, I'm not going to be particulary interested in any further interactions.
