Nice one, Meta. I agree with just about all of those. Especially substitutes. Some people think it's good to have them, but it really isn't. Usually they have no clue what they're doing and the teacher leaves you some vague busy work to do. Ugh...

*When you are eating a sandwich and an obnoxious piece of turkey/ham/lettuce decides to come out when you pull away after a bite.

*Art. I mean, I bet I could do a few strokes of blue paint, a few red dots, and a green splatter and call it a masterpiece. It could make me MILLIONS, but it still gets me an F in art class!

*People who ask spontaneous questions, unless it relates to something they were going to say afterwards.

*Substitute teachers. How...how are you even qualified to be a substitute? Especially the stupid ones, who ask you what you are supposed to be doing. Like I know, the teacher obviously left YOU in charge.

*When I notice something that I've done wrong right after I pressed the "Print" button.

*When you know something isn't that bad, but when you tell your mind not to think about it, you do, and it gets even worse. It's hard to explain >_<
I agree with everything here. Especially the last one. That would happen a lot when I was little. I watched a scary movie (forget it's name, it had a person with a mask going into peoples houses then killing them) and every night after that I would have a nightmare about it. When I told my brain to stop thinking of it and try to imagine something different, it would come back with even more force. It was like I couldn't change the channel on a tv show, my brain was stuck on that thought. I had to open my eyes for it to go away (plus being night it was dark and my throught was dry, I didn't have the guts to get a a glass of water).

I hate it when you get a bill from a company and then they make you run around and circles for a few weeks getting all the stupid stuff that you need to prove that you don't need to pay it. Seriously annoying >:^(

1. Someone already touched on this, but I hate modern art. It looks like crap. There was no talent involved in making it. I bet I could take a four-poster bed, cut it into fourths with a chainsaw, take one of the quarters, hang a bottle of KY Jelly from the post, and drown it in Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, then call it "Existential" and make $10,000,000 in some annoying gallery in New York City full of uber-lefty morons who genuinely believe that George Bush is a harbinger of the apocalypse. GOD!
2. I hate it when something is part of pop culture for like five hundred freakin' years, then gets repackaged and reshipped...and only THEN does it get the respect it deserves. The worst part is that it's usually those annoying little wannabe punk/goth/emo teenager girls who live in freakin' Hot Topic that are responsible. Case in point: Heath Ledger's Joker. Now that that movie's out, these fat, over-made-up Jeff Hardy fangirls are screaming about how they're "lifelong fans of the Joker." SCREW YOU. The Joker's been around longer than you, your momma, OR Jeff Hardy, you little poser!
3. I hate, hate, HATE the sound of people snoring. Seriously. I remember laying down with my girlfriend and being plagued with nightmares of that dude with the chainsaw from Resident Evil 4. I wake up two seconds from pissing myself and I realize...no, there isn't some fat Spaniard with a burlap sack over his head about to make tuna salad out of my intestines! She's just snoring so loud that it measures on the freakin' Richter scale! So I go out and I sleep out on the couch. Next day she's all WHINY, askin' me why I'm not keeping her company in her blessed slumber, and I'm like well, why don't you ask the SEISMOLOGISTS that came here to investigate the BIGGEST EARTHQUAKE IN TWENTY YEARS?! Frickin' frick!

Those are my rants. I stand by them to the death!

There is some modern art that is utter crap, but some is actually very thought out and remarkably inspiring.
Things like this:

by Mark Rothko, while not being technically demanding at all and being incredibly simple in composition, are still very aesthetically pleasing and are actually difficult to create (to the same artistic degree).

Yeah, I'm not sure how that's difficult to create. Please explain(I'm being serious, not sarcastic).

Some artists are actually very good at realism, but got bored with it and decided to do something different(like Picasso). Not all of it is amazing, but I'm sure the artist still has fun doing it. And if someone pays thousands for it, all the more power to them.

That looks like something I'd paint. I can't paint anything that involves actual shape, because I'm a bad painter. Since it looks like something I'd paint, and I consider myself a bad painter, I consider that to not be anything amazing.

There's no such thing as bad art, but to me, that's nothing special.

Well, for the longest time I had the same opinion. Then one day in art class I remember one of my teachers telling me about Rothko and I decided I could paint one and it would be just as good and it wasn't. Not even close. I used three colors, and kind of randomly threw them onto the canvas in some what thought out shapes and it just had no composition. I asked some other people in my class to try and they did: same thing. Yes, they were simple in design and colors but were very poor pieces of art.

The colors do not clash. They are balanced, yet complementary. It is symmetric and planned and is a very warm, comforting painting. Personally, it reminds me of a mirage and sunset and is enjoyable to look at. That is not to say all of his works are. But there is beauty in the apparent simplicity. I know in some ways it sounds pretentious, but I do hate many, many pieces of modern art: Rothko being one of the exceptions

This particular piece is much more composed than other mentioned modern art pieces. Jackson Pollock, for example, has only a few pieces that I like:

is not one of them. Yes, he planned the colors and the general composition, but it is very chaotic; too much so for my taste. Could you guys paint something like this? Yes. But most of that comes from having all ready seen a piece like that, as odd as that sounds. Mimicking a composition is very easy; creating a format and structure from nothing is much more difficult.

I'm getting a little tired of the constant text messaging from people I know. I know it's very useful, and I do it all the time to but it has its place. It's distinct use. When you're on the go, or at work, and stuff like that. But a lot of people I know do it when they're even just sitting in their rooms doing nothing. I'm not saying I think that should never be done but...it's just you know, I don't know about anyone else but I want to actually talk to someone once in a while. It's not enough we have the internet for text, and are separated on two different sides of a phone, now we get to make ourselves even more socially inept by denying ourselves the ability to talk to someone with our voice over a speaker every now any then.

I don't even own a cell phone, though I want one for emergencies. No cameras, no gadgets, no extra crap. I doubt I'll find one unless I buy an outdated piece of junk that breaks the next day.

Cell phones are irritating anyway. I can't help but laugh at how schizo people look talking on their Bluetooth headsets while walking down the grocery aisles. :p

This is how I feel exactly. Cellphones are absolutely unnecessary unless for emergencies or calling parents. It's really annoying how people need to chat on their cellphones all the **** time so that they never focus on what's actually happening in front of them.

QFT. Next time you're in a movie theater (a crowded one at that), look around at the number of people who are fiddling with their cell-phones instead of talking to the people adjacent to them. It's ridiculous how detached and impersonal technology is making this world. I too do not own a cell-phone.

For me personally, I want to make a shirt that I'll wear everyday in school that says on the back of it "I'm going to stab the person in front of me unless they WALK FASTER."

I still don't get why people text message, which costs money, when AIM is ON THEIR PHONES and it's completely free.

I want that shirt so badly.

One time I got really ticked off when my friend brought his cellphone when he came over to my house and we were in the middle of a game when he got a call from our other friend. He then proceeded to talk about who-knows-what for a few minutes. Un-characteristically rude, to be sure. Cellphones can really suck sometimes.

I hate those moments when you end up on the same parallel line as someone walking the opposite direction of you and you do that "side - to -side" movement in order to decide which way to go by them, but you end up smacking right into the anyways because they chose the SAME direction as you.

I really hate it when people criticise my taste in music.

If you don't like what I listen to, that's your problem, I don't tell you what you should and shouldn't be playing, so don't tell me how to listen to what I enjoy.

Here's my list (sorry if they've been already discussed/said before)

Paper cuts
-Why are they so painful!

Missing stuff
-Find one object, lose another. It's an endless cycle of madness.

Forgetting
-You want ask something something as you come up to them and then-BAM...
<_<
>_>
...you forget what you want to say.

Kids who act like adults
-Need I say more?

Mind games
-Your head always telling you, you forgot something at home, but WHAT!?

And last but not least

Greedy Siblings
-Apparently it's never my turn...

*I hate when people play there music so loud my dead ancestors are telling them to STFU.
*I hate when your on the subway and someone is falling and latches on to you or falls on you and the worst part is when they don't say sorry. Its not cruel and I don't know them.
*Evil old people: Its more complicated than you think. Some do all types of evil stuff and think they can do so because there your elder.
*Cashiers that think they know everything but then end up being pwnd by your superior knowledge. I am not saying I am einstein or anything(far from but not stupid) but I've been playing games since embryonic stages(blatant exagerration) so I think I know that you're wrong when you try to say a game disk is hardware or something else stupid.
*People that beg for money and never repay but call you cheap when you deny their request. Why would I give you money when you owe me fifty bucks already?
People who'll insult you and call it a joke and then say calm down. I highly doubt they'd do this to a stranger. I believe they're "too defensive", that's their favorite word.

I can't stand when I'm in the middle of playing a game and someone
stands right in my peripheral vision. I feel like they're ...encroaching
upon me, then I don't want to be touched.

Another problem I have is when I'm really trying to enunciate a point
to someone, but they carry on with whatever it was they were saying,
but they pose it in such a way as to disguise it like what I said was
"still important".

I dunno, I guess I hate it when my face gets stomped.

I honestly can't play a game with anyone in my peripheral vision. I would pause and tell them to move. This goes for most things, like jumping off of a diving board. If anyone is even near
the board, I can't jump.

This.

When you've beaten someone close to a thousand times and then give them a win and they start to gloat and say your trash and totally neglect the fact that that you out rank them. I don't think I can emphasize how bad they act but its terrible.

I just realized this recently.

It annoys me whenever a teacher asks me what I want to be when I grow up. I have no idea! I'd like to be a video game designer or a scriptwriter, maybe an actor, but those are very unlikely for me to be able to do.

The last time I got asked that, I just told the teacher, "I wanna be at McDonalds. Gonna flip me some burgers, mmmm...". Then I walked away.

When it's hot in a room but it's perfect in the next.

But theres nothing to do in the perfect feeling room, while all the stuff you do is in the hot room.

Homework. There is nothing that annoys me more than homework. Especially projects. Especially homework that takes more than 20 minutes to complete. And especially when they're piled up.
God I hate school....

In keeping with the recent theme of the topic, people who hate certain games based on the sole fact they suck at them. That and people who go into things with a negative attitude without reason.
