What's the more annoying character trait?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Feel free to nominate your own favourites.

I'll go for whining/pessimism, but it's a close run thing.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Obtuseness

[Richardo]

2. I don't get it.

What do you mean by that? ;-)

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. Bwa hah!

Glad to see you back, buddy! :-)

[Richardo]

23. Nice to BE back

:hi: FSC!

[GirlinContempt]

3. Self obsession

[southpaw]

6. Second that...

People who use first person pronouns way too frequently...

I Me My Mine...

Giada DeLaurentis on Food Network springs immediately to mind...

[GirlinContempt]

41. *I* wouldn't mind

showing them *MY* beautiful back hand ;)

[TXlib]

49. Isn't that a fragrance?

By Calvin Mine?

[terrya]

4. Other - arrogance. Like the kind Mr. Bush exhibits. eom

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. Not doing exactly WHAT I WANT!

I hate people like that! :P

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. Have you considered a career in Third World Dictatorship?

The outfits are pretty neat.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. Idi?

I could kick his ass.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. How could he go on foreign trips?

Imagine the trauma at the airport with all that bling.

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. He's fucked if he ever falls into the lake.

Then again, I suppose that would give him the opportunity to say hello to some old friends....

[m-jean03]

44. Thanks for reminding me

why I love you, Al! LOL. :loveya: :loveya:

[Fenris]

9. Opinionated past the point of sanity.

What, did you expect me to put "Excessive whininess and general pessimism"? Please! I listen to Morrissey. To me, those flaws are positives.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. You think Morrissey is pessimistic?

Come on, Fen, "There Is a Light that Never Goes Out" is the FUNNIEST SONG EVER! :bounce:

[Fenris]

13. I agree, believe it or not.

I consider that a very happy song.

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. Actually, the whole "Queen Is Dead" album cracks me up.

Yes, even "I Know It's Over."

But not that whiny-ass version on Rank. That's just a horrifying precursor to Moz's solo career.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. Some Girls are Bigger than Others and Frankly Mr Shankly are hilarious.

I never got the Morrissey = Miserable meme memo. I missed out on the Leonard Cohen = Depressing one too.

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. Don't forget "Vicar in a Tutu."

And yeah, Cohen doesn't depress me. Come on, who could hear "Suzanne" or "First We Take Manhattan" or "Who by Fire" and be long sad? :shrug:

[tigereye]

61. are you guys engaging in Morrissey revisionism

hmmm?

[flamingyouth]

18. I challenge you to spend the day with my co-worker

This is not the happy, intelligent-fun loving Morrissey type here. This is a woman who is constantly convinced that:

1) We are going to be held up and/or gang-raped in the store;

2) Rats (of unusual size!) are just waiting to get into our store through the concrete;
and

3) She has no friends. Why does she have no friends? I simply cannot imagine. She only drains the very last drop of happiness from me each and everytime I see her or hear her voice - so I don't get it.:shrug:

[Fenris]

19. That's called paranoid schizophrenia

Here come those gang-raping gun-toting giant concrete rats again...

:crazy:

[flamingyouth]

20. Yet she's a fully functioning member of society

I thought I was the one with the mental problems - every day I'm amazed.

I hope you won't hate me for this, but I'm generally a happy person. I try not to be annoying about it, though. I just wouldn't want this to ruin our friendship.:evilfrown:

[Fenris]

22. Why would I hate you for being happy?

That's something I admire. Despite my cynicism, I wouldn't say I'm an unhappy person. I'm not happy, though. I'm meh.

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. You're not happy and you're not sad?

Sorry, Fen, but you KNEW that was coming. :P

[Fenris]

25. I didn't want to say it because it was way too obvious.

:D

[flamingyouth]

26. LOL

You're both evil, you know that?!:7

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. Us? Evil?

:evilgrin:

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. "If you're not happy or sad and you know it...

clap your hands!"

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. "ROUSs? I don't think they exist." n/t

[flamingyouth]

36. Inconceivable!

:evilgrin:

[GirlinContempt]

42. Broody....

I'd say he's broody, as opposed to whiny.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Other: posting copycat threads.

:evilgrin:

[flamingyouth]

14. Whininess and pessimism

I work with a woman who epitomizes this description. I often have to drink and place a cold wet washcloth over my head when I come home from work.

[m-jean03]

21. I'm not ALWAYS insanely opinionated

But there's something about being in a video store with a friend, and I have to give reviews of everything I've seen and make fun of everything that looks stupid. :D

[flamingyouth]

27. Or maybe you're just sometimes insane and sometimes opinionated

Just not both at the same time!:D It's okay - I'm the same way - you can come clean with me!:hug:

[m-jean03]

34. Maybe that's it

Though, I really do border on insanely opinionated/can't stop talking when I'm at the video store. I think, deep down inside I wish I was Roger Ebert or something, and I feel that that is my only chance to shine. :D :hug:

[Beware the Beast Man]

28. Opinionated to a near-insane level

Most definitely.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. Nobody voted for touchy-feely?

I take that as sanction for me to brush up against all of you whenever I can. Not to mention the knee-pats and unsanctioned shoulder massages.

[Magrittes Pipe]

37. Feel THIS, you frotteurist asshat.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

38. What, this?

http://store6.yimg.com/I/gdcom_1800_120048016

Yowza!

[Magrittes Pipe]

39. Dude.

I ain't EVEN clicking on that at work.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

40. Ha!

Your loss.

Anyway, the operation was a complete success. Complete retrieval of all embedded parts.

[tigereye]

62. so that explains it!

embedded parts. That phrase is scary on several levels.

[SarahB]

43. Negative and snappy

[LiberalTechie1337]

45. Whining/Pessimism

I can't stand people who constantly complain about things and try to make excuses. Like the NeoCons who say that everything bad is because of Clinton.

[dolo amber]

46. Really, really uncalled for pretentiousness

;)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

48. But maybe they can't help themselves.

Maybe we should classify pretentiousness as a mental disorder. 'Sorry, acquaintance, I cannot make our rendezvous as I am currently in the throes of TPS, Total Pretention Syndrome. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a long list to compose on how I have done everything in the world better and earlier than you.'

[Radical Activist]

47. Excessive cheerfulness

As in people who would say "Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays! (fake giggle)"

[St. Jarvitude]

50. Uuuuugggggggggghhhhhh, it's "What's the most annoying character trait?"

Ugghhh, I can't stand it when people don't bother to understand the English language. Whhhhhyyyyyyyyy can't people understand this??

[Screaming Lord Byron]

51. LOL!

Yeah, that would be pretty annoying too.

[Magrittes Pipe]

52. Originally, he had only listed two options.

In other words, the subject was gramatically correct in featuring the comparative.

It appears that when he edited his post to add more poll options, he neglected to change the subject line.

In other words, ScreamingLordByron is more guilty of carelessness than poor grammar.

[Magrittes Pipe]

53. And besides -- English isn't his first language.

He's Scottish.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

54. That's right. It's not my fault your language is so demeaning and foolish.

Unlike the glory that is Gaelic.

[Magrittes Pipe]

55. Pat, can I buy a vowel?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

58. Go n-aora na gráinneoga cealgrúnacha do chuid calóga arbhair!

Funnily enough, I googled 'gaelic swear words' and the first link was to Free Republic. Hmmmm.....

[Magrittes Pipe]

59. Fuck you.

How's that for some English?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

60. Low German, actually.

Very Low.

[Magrittes Pipe]

63. Like me!

[VelmaD]

56. Not returning phone calls...

this is the personal trait that is most likely to get me to beat someone over the head with a shovel.

[Jim__]

57. Inability to stop talking

People who never shut up drive me crazy!

[Donkeyboy75]

64. I voted for 3, but I think it goes hand-in-hand with 5.
