Makes me glad I have never been a parent in my life. All people should be in a military school and learn what living a disciplined life is like.


I have to defend kids here. Kids are kids and they always have been and always will be. I work with teenagers in a public school and it doesn't matter if their parents are pillars of the community or send them to school to buy drugs for them, they're the same - they're funny, generally respectful of adults, and absolutely appreciative of the things they have. Of course they, like anyone can take things for granted and they have a limited perspective, but they say thank you when I don't give them homework, or use a teaching technique they like. They are kind, beautiful people - even the "bad" ones (whom I seem to attract!). A little compassion goes a very long way with them. I have no significant discipline problems and I deal with about 200 each day.

The current mannerisms are different from earlier generations, but I find nothing inherently wrong with them, besides, the kids learned them from their families and society at large - we adults set the example, they just follow it.

And military school is good for some, but there are other very effective methods of learning discipline. It's not a one size fits all solution.

As for answering the OP's question, I get a long with lots of people - it's kind of hard for me to think of people who across the board rub me the wrong way. I've been friends with some irritating people...they all had something to offer.


I respect your opinion, and my opinion was a faulty one. Just that there's a few out there who could use stronger discipline. Perhaps their parents were never around and such. And yes, sometimes we are around irritating people to learn how to deal with people who we don't like because of their behavior.

People don't annoy me, noise annoys me :)

I don't really tend to hate anyone, which is a weakness as much as a strength. I don't know if bad people exist, but of all the people I have met directly I have never been able to identify one. I guess that either makes me very lucky or very stupid.

Anyone who calls me 'honey,' 'sweety,' etc.
I cannot stand those kinds of syrupy sweet, fake, tarted up interactions.

I struggle not to laugh at those "gangsta" types with their trousers round their knees. They don't look hard, they look ridiculous. And yes, that look *is* from prisons... but they don't realise that it means they're the prison b***h...

I am rubbed the wrong way by lots of people who are not necessarily bad...
I have a difficult time talking to people unless they are properly introduced to me..or some kind of tolerable contact is established....I am rubbed the wrong way by people who are just as scared of me as I am of them, especially when it seems that they have no trouble getting along with other people, and any feeble efforts I make to have some kind of reciprocal discourse fail..and they just continue treating me like I am the enemy...so in my frustration I can seem kind of rough to them,,,because anything i say is liable to freak them out anyway,,,

I am rubbed the wrong way by compulsive liars who have the tendency to twist things around whenever it suits them...and like to blame others for things that are not necc their fault...

I am rubbed the wrong way by people who insist on getting close to me even though their way of thinking is completely different from mine, and even though I try to explain myself to them in hopes of becoming friends, they completely disregard my boundaries and then become offended when I react to that, after I had already told them what I did not want them to do...

I am often rubbed the wrong way by my self.....I am always doing things the wrong way....I tend to inspire a lot of fear/hatred towards myself from my peers...and I really hate it :(

I am rubbed the wrong way by narcissistic and many borderline types....

There are actually very few types people that I dislike. I generally don't concern myself with them unless they intrude on me.

Among those I am likely to have issues with...

Those popular folk who are so insecure that they are hostile to those who they don't consider "cool enough". I'm not talking about all popular people, just those who have issues with nice people who are too different for them.

People who try to micromanage my life and how I work. You know, the people who have issues with every little thing you do.

Condescending people and people who speak to others in patronizing tones.

People who don't respect the learning styles of others, and think if you can't learn their way then you have no business learning it.

People who aren't mature enough, or secure enough to let a person know if they have an issue with them, and attempt to solve it amiably.

Rude people....intentionally rude that is.

Violent people.

People who tell you one thing and mean another....intentionally.

I can actually tolerate loud obnoxious people fine.

i often wonder why people with dark skin feel so inferior, and why they take such automatic offense at anything that is said about them.

Maybe because of the way they're treated?

I was like that a lot of a child. Were people looking at me strangely or picking on me because of my skin colour? It could have been because they could tell something was not right about me but I never knew that back then.

I'm finding it quite humorous that the rest of the world are finding Australian's racist. We're kind of like the aspie nation - 'oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise that was offensive.'

I'm not racist but people rub me the wrong way. I don't like people that group a race together because of a few individuals. My mum is guilty of this.

Other people that rub me the wrong way are people that make assumptions. I also dislike it when people make illogical jokes. I correct them and they say 'it's just a joke'. Yes, but a joke that has no logic to it whatsoever.

Oh and those people that don't believe in AS or ADHD. I've yet to come face to face with one but if they ever run their mouth off to me then someone needs to hold me back before I punch them.

People who seem rational, but then suddenly refuse to keep thinking when one of their cherished beliefs is threatened by the facts.

Mainly overbearing types who think that might is right. When you are strong and powerful you can chose to use that strength to get what you want or you can choose instead to leave room for other peoples feelings and opinions.Those like me who are not so strong are at the mercy of such characters.
I have a big dislike for people who abuse their strength and power.

That's kind of a sweeping generalization don't you think?

One thing that really bothered me when I was a teenager that people made such assumptions about me. Due to my age they automatically assumed I was a "spoiled rotten brat" with no appreciation for the things I had, and that was the farthest thing from the truth really.

Remember, kids and teenagers are people to, and don't deserve to be disrespected by default.

Wow I'm amazed how much I exemplify so many of these characteristics. I'm a loud, drunken, potty mouthed, pond watching, sadistic, snob, stoner, douche bag. Thats my mask I wear when I'm in public anyway. Did I also mention I'm a fake! I think of it like I'm a pro wrestling villain people love to hate. Really it's all a contrived facade to overcompensate for how painfully awkward and sensitive I am. But hey, at least I'm self aware! ; )
The kind of people that rub me the wrong way are called everyone. Some more then others but as long as you're not a pedophile, xenophobic, abusive or just inherently evil I think we're cool (you know who you are).
