What makes you angry?

People who can't admit ignorance. Like, by all means if I ask you to do something and you don't know how just admit it and please don't just blag it and fuck it up. I saw about £700 worth of damage done to a conveyor the other day by a co-worker. I asked him if he knew how to tension it and he said "Yea it's simple." before I could question him he grabbed the sockets and was gone. Five minutes later he comes back and says he's done. I pluck the underside of the belt with my thumb, seems tight. I hit the power button, there's a fairly loud crack and the sound of a motor straining as the machine eats its own belt. Total damage done, 1 burnt out motor, 1 shredded belt. Turns out he's tension-ed the belt as tight at he could get it and not sprayed any belt grip on the rollers. The metal zipper connection on the belt has failed as it went over the drive roller, snapped in two, wrapped around the roller and been chewed up in the tension rollers. All this because a colleague was too proud to say "No I don't, can you show me?". Sidenote: normally I would double check anybodies work regardless but I've been told off by my boss for making people feel small so now if somebody says they can do something I just have to roll with it.
 
Maurry Rothbard's views on children and how it's ok to starve them or sell them like market products (since the kid can runaway from home). Children are not just things to be bought and sold like a car and then tossed aside. They need guidance and care due to their immaturity and inexperience. Also, responsibility and compassion are not slavery nor are they an enemy of freedom.
 
Atheists who are so egotistical that they feel like if they argue and debate with somebody religious enough that the religious person will realise that they're wrong and stop having their beliefs anymore as well. Personally I'm not religious but some of the most infuriating religious debates I've seen have been down to the atheists who are so preachy and in your face about their opinion they're as bad as the most staunch and righteous believers.

After reading a good portion of the Connor thread the last few days and seeing some of the fantastic advice offered to Connor by users on here I've also been reminded how angry it makes me when somebody refuses to help themselves and expects the world to fix all of their problems without putting any effort in themselves. I know a few people like this who blame everything and everybody instead of themselves and then wonder why they're depressed and staying completely static in life. I used to work part time at a retail store during Summer and worked with a man who, despite having downs syndrome and being in his forties was out every single day of the week keeping active and doing something to help his community and he's never received any extra special attention for it. Ever since then it's stuck in my head that if he can do something with his life despite the awful cards he's been dealt then the many people in the world who are like Connor can too.

The over political correctness in today's society angers me at times as well. It's like people are in a competition sometimes to see who can be offended the most. I've always felt like within reason being offended is a choice, and people make the wrong choice far too often. Recently I was called a traitor to females as a whole because I said I felt a female doctor in Doctor Who just wouldn't feel right to me. People are way too quick to over react and get upset over something now.
 
I can't stand uptalk. As in, the upwards inflection some people put at the end of their sentences so that everything they say sounds like a question. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. And this is regardless of the gender of the person that is using it. People who uptalk to me may as well be repeating the phrase "I don't have a single functioning brain cell in my skull." My personal experience at my job hasn't proved me wrong yet.

The victim mentality of a chunk of modern black activists.

-"People got rightfully mad when I barged into a speech that had nothing to do with me, took away a man's right to speak, acted extremely rude, constantly screamed in his face and demanded that people listen to me or I'd shut things down. Wahhhh! I'm such a victim of racism!"
-"Everybody hates our hair and music with a burning passion and never liked it. Despite the fact that cornrows and rap were starting to get respected and accepted since the 1980's. Now that a white person tried it, you're stealing it from us!"
-"You said best man for the job, not caring about race and wanting to judge people on their merits. Thus, keeping things fair and colorblind. You hate black people and want to keep us away from things."

Whenever I roll into a new town and some local hits me with a sob story about how they're being taken advantage of and need my help, I try not to get involved at first but eventually I get angry somehow and help out by smashing things. Then I move on.

Also, people passing on the road and cutting it so close that oncoming traffic has to slow and veer.

That could apply to pretty much any modern ____ rights activist. I don't know if this is just a recent thing, but it seems like people today are more interested in being poor, tragically beautiful oppressed snowflakes than actually, you know, accomplishing something for their cause.

Which is goddamn annoying. I hate people who sit around and complain about stuff they could easily fix.

That's the problem. Not everyone call "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and will need help (there's nothing wrong with that).

I've found there are two sides of the spectrum to hate equally: people who enforce being completely politically correct and people who just try to be as shitty as possible at the most inappropriate times because they're edgy nonconformists. I mean, there's a time and place to rant about how much you hate the poor and the Mexican, right?
 
Getting up early to go to classes on a cold snowy day and then wiping the snow and ice off your windshield, and then drive to the campus to go to class only to get to the classroom and the professor put a sign up on the door stating classes have been canceled and she's too fucking lazy to send an email or text out to all her students and decided to cancel at the last second.

Getting in debates over consoles vs PCs, I prefer PCs, but who cares what you play, Jesus Christ.

I love listening to console kiddies and PC spec whores slap fight each other and cry. I was in a line for Skyrim midnight launch for like an hour and a half with two console players behind me trying to berate me for being enough of a dumbass that I bought it on PC. When that didn't work they decided to try and attack me for the price of my machine (£3500 when new, not to boast but everything in it is ASUS and EVGA and she still holds her own at nearly 5 years old.) I then pointed out that the argument had basically devolved into them giggling at me and saying "Ha ha, you're substantially richer than us! What a loser!" Took the wind out of their sails somewhat.

Yes, this is one of the stupid things that doesn't make me angry. It's too dumb to be anything but amused by it, really.

Also, that PC does a lot more than just games, so comparing it to a console specifically designed to play games is silly. Dollar for dollar, it's probably more efficient, if playing games is all you want to do, to buy a console, but if you actually work with a computer, it's easy enough to design one that does what you need and can also play games.

Oh yeah I remember reading about him and his batshit justification for that sort of fucking shit a long time ago. It's one of the ways I was able to realize how backwards those kind of people really are and how they really don't like other people at all. It pisses me off too.

People who wait until they get to the front of the line at the grocery store and then spend ten minutes filling out a check should be sentenced to community service or something.

Similarly, people who stand in line for ten minutes and only at the front to do the look at the menu and start deciding what they want. They should get the same punishment.

People who still fill out checks are kind of questionable, too. Unless they're like 90 or something.
