Amen, sista.

I sit only yards away from a woman who does this on a DAILY basis. She has some kind of allergy to work and sneezes like an elephant. Several GD times a day.
She goes off like a roadside IED and my balls retract with disgust at her inability to cover her mouth. It's a great way to prevent people from touching your stuff. And indeed you in general. Fucking leper.

My own irrational prejudices:

Bands that cite Sonic Youth and The Fall as their 'influences' but actually sound like The Killers.

Folk who have completed/are studying humanities-related courses beyond university level. Sure, not all of them by any stretch of the imagination, but of the ones that I have met, a fair deal seem to have this belief that they (and their peers) have some kind of proprietary ownership of their respective fields that precludes anyone outside the fold from a) holding an opinion about their area of 'expertise' and b) really having a valid opinion at all. I realise that not all academics are like this at all, and maybe I just invite being patronised. It must be something about my face.

Women that eat stinky crisps (potato chips, Americans) in public.

Women that eat kebabs, and liberally douse them with garlic and chilli sauce.

People that use DOD pedals.

really there are a few good DOD pedals, not a ton but a few... I think Conan Neutron uses the DOD bass overdrive on his guitar and it sounds amazing, like so good I am going to steal the idea...

Have you seen this douchecock? This guy's filling 58 swimming pools each month while I take Navy showers every morning and letting my yellow mellow.

Females driving cars in Chicago are doing a terrible job, especially non-white females. Seems like well over 50% (and maybe more like 75%) of the terrible drivers I see in this town are ethnic females, with black and hispanic being the top offenders.

I have recently developed the prejudice that anyone who throws garbage out their car window in Chicago is a black person. So far it's been true 100% of the time since it pissed me off enough that I've been paying careful attention.

People who are on any kinda crusade against any group of other people are usually bigger douchebags themselves than the group they're crusading against. Like, maybe you hate SUV drivers based on your personal experience with them. Okay. But if you somehow end up on some anti-SUV-driver crusade, getting all vocal and preachy about how you hate SUV drivers, you're probably quite the douchebag yourself and are just looking to piss on somebody else.

People who don't realize that the odds of them understanding the "big picture" in any meaningful way are near-zero, these are the people who talk the most about some concrete vision of what the big picture is like.

Similarly there's a group that I think has a big overlap with the previous one... people who spend the most time and energy complaining about corporations this, and government that, ills of society, etc, these people seem to do little or nothing to actually make any meaningful improvement on the world. I have lots of ideas about how government is ill, how corporations suck ass, etc, but I'm not gonna spend all day whining about it and then not actually doing anything about it beyond whining and pointing fingers at other people.

And here's a prejudice I have about people in general. I think most folks are inclined to hold unreasonably strong opinions regarding things of which they are minimally informed at best. I see this as the norm, and the exceptions to this rule are generally cool people. And also, people in general don't seem to like when folks have all manner of opinions about things but are not strongly attached to them.

Also, fuck people who aspire to live a Thug Life, and even moreso, fuck people who actually pull it off. Fuck every last one of them.

see if I was going to try to stereotype the serial litterer of Chicago I'd probably pick an Eastern European or South American tradesman with soccer team stickers on his truck . . . all sending a cascade of white castle wrappers everywhere after dumping 3 gallons of unused paint down a storm drain. but maybe I'm not looking carefully enough.

Agree on that. Nearly everyone I see driving those ( in Chicago anyway ) drives like they're on patrol with Blackwater in Ramadi.


I hate people who drive Jeeps, Buicks and Mustangs.
