But it was funny! Put it back!

Just remembered a proper prejudice:

Mercedes drivers - I always assume they will be dickheads. This is because they don't know how to use their fakking indicators. I swear, I have never seen a Mercedes indicate before taking a turning. I also have fond memories of being in the audience for some telly program about taste, and hearing the outraged screams of anguish from a young lady behind me after Brian Sewell slagged off the aesthetics of the Merc's wheel arches.

Oh no. Far worse than Merc drivers are those little wankstain teenagers in those revved-up hatchbacks. Which invariably have horns that play a bit of some Ayia Napa tune.

Bastards.

Good old Brian Sewell. Mind you, I'm suprised he wasn't slagging off the programme was appearing on if all they were discussing were Merc wheel arches.

I'd like to add Beemer drivers to the grwoing list of car drivers we unreasonably hate. And Rover drivers. For some reason these people seem to think that the road was put in place simply for them to drive on and how dare anyone else even dare to be in their way.

Oh, it was about taste in general, and covered everything from fluffy dice to fridge magnets (Sewell was also against them - an uglifying and unneccessary addition to a well designed appliance, he reckoned) to, um, Merc wheel arches. I was pleased to hear the woman behind me getting so upset about that because she had, up till then, been having a fine old time laughing at everything else.

You don't want to watch the film. Stop groping, giggling, complaining and wandering around. Fuck off.


YES! I hear you there. That's why I like going to poncy arts cinemas.

Carwise, let's have a big 'FUCK OFF!' for people who drive 4-wheel drives/range rovers, but aren't farmers. Doubly so for one's who live in urban areas.

You're all dangerous freaks of nature, and need putting down in the worst possible way. Reminds me of why I love you all.

Pet hates? People who think that the shark in 'Jaws' was called Jaws, that the creature in 'Frankenstein' was called a, or the, Frankenstein, and that Doug Bradley's character in 'Hellraiser' (before he 'went Freddy') is called Pinhead (LEAD CENOBITE, for fuck's sake! Lead Cenobite!)

Gah! Shitehawks! Fuck OFFFFFFFFF! DIIIIIIIIIE!

That, and people who fail to understand that (teenage 'plastics' and tourists aside), the majority of goths Understand And Appreciate Irony. And that their automatic assumption that we're pathetic, morbid, death obsessed or lacking in any form of self-awareness is an indication of their OWN lack of appreciation of irony (read 'Johnny The Homicidal Maniac' and giggle along with us at the fact that WE CAN TAKE THE PISS OUT OF OURSELVES WHEN NECESSARY. We don't need sneering tosspots to do it for us). That and the fact that the moronic wee fuckers have already decided who we are just upon seeing the way we dress. Not that we would ever do that. Nooooo. Which leads me on to...

Irrational prejudices?

Hell yes. Casuals. Even though this is based on a foundation of having to endure the jeering, threats, and occasional actual violence from these pithecanthropoid muppets with Herd Mentality stencilled lovingly between the lines of every 'Tommy', 'FCUK' or whatever branded pastel-slavered piece of shit they're wearing today... Gnnumph. I'm sure some of them aren't taking up valuable air and skin that could be lavished on one of my intelligent, creative and self-aware army of the night. No, actually, maybe not.

'Plastics'. Defined as punks who don't know what punk WAS, let alone what punk IS (Yes. Loud badly played music about how you can't get a girlfriend is AUTOMATICALLY PUNK, and is not simply two-chord rock n' roll with pretensions. Yes. Personally, I love two-chord rock n' roll, and feel that pretensions to some kind of punk credibility to justify enjoyably trashy/thrashy R n' R is kind of missing the point), and teenagers who think that badly applied makeup, a too-big Manson longsleeve and off-the-peg PVC & fishnets make them an individual. Huge quotes from 'Life Of Brian' are appropriate but geeky here. FIND A LOOK YOU LIKE. DON'T (please, for the love of Eldritch) JOIN A HERD OF YOUR OWN. WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT? ARE YOU MENTALLY UNWELL?

Haahhhhhh. Feeling better. Now to stab someone with my Pointy Shiv O' Death!

Well that's the most passionate reply to anything I've seen here for a while. I agree with you as well, Jack. Marilyn Manson and his unholy marketing brigade have a lot to answer for.

okay lately i hate my own compatriots. i just can't stand white, middle class, middle aged, middle minded americans who think talking about retirement accounts and business deals is the pinnacle of civilized conversation. especially in airports. especially on their cell phones. the inevitable, "ok, yeah, i've just gotten to the airport, and thought i'd touch base... did you get the email i sent you this morning?'
kill the white people, please.

God, we really are a festering wound of prejudices aren't we...

Jack, I have much the same deal with people who don't see the humour in the Smiths, the Fall, a Certain Ratio etc, and think if you like this kind of thing you must be utterly humourless and weeping into your gladioli constantly.

Music's an easy hunting ground actuerly, anyone who mentions the words 'pixie' and 'elfin' when describing Bjork. Generally goes along with neglecting to notice that she produces/programs alot of her music.

A couple more.

People (male/female) who wear rubgy shirts and have obviously never been within vomiting distance of a rugby pitch.

Goths.

Art cinemas where they don't serve popcorn. If I wanted cultural snobbery and overpriced, uncomfortable seating, I'd go to the theatre!

Theatre.

People who hate theatre.

Short people with umbrellas - I almost punched one last rainfall.

People at the gym who finish a set and then sit on the machine to rest for a minute instead of letting me work in - as it fucking well asks them to on the sign. I'm already on an adrenaline coctail; are they simply ASKING for it?

Other than that, I'm pretty easy-going. I'm probably the one pissing YOU off, in fact, wearing my full knapsack in the tiny aisles of the health food store.

Forgot - cell phone users in all incarnations, but especially hands-free users who wander around shops and streets, completely oblivious to what they're doing, talking to themselves very loudly for no apparent reason. I hope they get brain cancer.

Cigarette smokers. Foul, disgusting habit. I hate it when I'm walking down the street and someone walks past me, blowing their rank smoke in my face, or when I go out in the evening and the next day even my hair smells of stale fag smoke.

I don't want it, why should I have to put up with it?

People in band tee-shirts that look too new. Especially in goth clubs. Especially if worn with new blue jeans. You might as well paint NARC on your face and have done.

Don'y like to admit it, but stupidity (very similar to aforementioned) boils me blood.

Actually I do have a problem with authority, too.

I'm often prejudiced against people that ask me questions at work, despite the fact;
a) that's why I'm employed, to answer those questions.
b) quite often they haven't the training in search techniques you need to find something, even in a small library.

I think more and more in stereotypes all the time these days. But it's a job thing, the staff are aware that we are prejudiced into thinking that anyone under the age of 20 is coming in to the library purely to make our loives difficult and steal CDs.

People who talk about their sex lives on the internet in such a manner as to make you never want to have sex again.

Really bad poets.

Middle aged, too-short-skirt-wearing, bleached blond women who really wish they were 18, and insist on jumping anything male that gets within a foot of them, and *then* look down their noses at you when you don't do the same.

People who think being single is akin to being the antichrist.
