Alright guys, I have a really long fuse when it comes to getting angry, but there are a few things that cut that fuse down really quickly.
The top of the list is ignorance.
This is worse then being stupid. Stupid is what happens when someone tries and doesn't understand. It is beyond their capability to understand. That's fine, some people are just dumb. I forgive them for being born that way.
But then their are others who either a) are stupid because they never bothered to learn or b) think their smart so never bother to learn. These are the worse kinds of people. It's ok if you have an opinion, or if you have a way of thinking and doing things, but hey, if you aren't going to take the time to listen/observer/learn other ways of thinking and/or doing things, then you're just wasting space.
Example: If let you in my room, but ask you to take off your shoes, you either take off your shoes and come in, or you stay outside. There's no reason to tell me i'm weird and that you never heard of people taking off shoes before going into a room. If i say it's a part of my culture and upbringing, do not say that my ways are messed up and then rudely step into my room anyway. That's just rude and unaccepting of you.
Ok, maybe that's not a great example of ignorance, but man, does that piss me off.
Better blunt extreme example: If I were a math teacher and you are going around saying that 2+2=5, and I tell you you're wrong, and that 2+2=4, do not laugh at me and tell me i must not be a good math teacher cuz you have always assumed 2+2=5. That's STUPID. DON'T BE STUPID.
Yes, something set me off today, but I won't discuss it. Well, if you put the two examples together, it sorta makes sense... I invite someone into my math room, told him to take off his shoes, he didn't, and then proceeded to recite improper mathematics. Ok, those of you who weren't there will not understand at all.
Neener neener, that's what you get for not being there.
