    Dumb people who claim muscle weighs more than fat.

    NEWSFLASH: density =/= mass

    NEWSFLASH: density =/= mass

    People who like to feel superior by assuming that 'given an equal volume' is not implied.

    But please, God, let's not start this argument again.

    When I go to a fast food restaurant and my food looks nothing like the pic on the tv or paper it was on... such disappointment...

    Yeah, no.

    It's not 'feeling superior', as generally, the people who say that muscle weighs more than fat are usually giving unsolicited advice on forums and other public avenues of communication.

    But of course, you knew exactly what I was referring to and just decided to nitpick for no apparent reason, and then proceeded to criticize the arguments that my statement usually brings up.

    Strong contradiction. Strong everything.

    When the stupid dj's interrupt a song every 10 seconds to say something or sing along. No I don't want to hear you. I want to hear the music. Grr!
    People who never use their blinker (It can be amazingly helpful!!)
    Attention *kitten* (One uppers)

    So you aren't nitpicking? You know full well that everyone knows it's for an equal volume, yet you go ahead and call people dumb. So you are setting yourself above them by claiming to know something they don't. Ergo feeling superior.

    People who pop and chomp on their gum!!
    When someone pulls out in front of you doing 2 mph and there's no one behind you, so you have to slow down, then they turn off!!

  • You can quote all the online dictionary's you want. Seeing as they all use the bastardised american version of English they are bound to be wrong too.
    I am English, I speak English, I don't speak, read or write in Americanish, therefore when I hear it used in England by an English person it is wrong. Much the same as spelling colour, honour, valour or any other derivation without using the letter U is also wrong.

    It is too early for this. At least, in America it is.

    This.

    Example, since you fail to see what I'm referring to. Person A claims they are gaining on the scale despite a caloric deficit. Person B suggests that they are probably gaining muscle since muscle weighs more than fat.

    Can you really claim that person B really knows the difference between density, mass and volume? No. They just tried to come off as smart by spewing utter nonsense.

    This is what regularly happens on instagram, youtube video comment sections, facebook, etc.

    Haha attention *kitten* one uppers are the worst. Whenever you are telling a story, they somehow have a better story from their life and are going to just keep talking until you hopefully just stop speaking completely. I know people like this!

    That's a good example of someone not knowing how the body works, and they may or may not understand density (unclear from context, but if they also said 'check your measurements, it would imply they do). But it does not mean that everyone who says "muscle weighs more than fat" does not understand density. Be careful with generalizations because when cast your net wide you'll catch people you didn't mean to, and one of them will call you out.

    Oh this one gets me too. My mortgage broker said this and I think it annoyed me even more since in all other respects he was obviously a well educated, well spoken gentleman. It was so incongruous.

    Debbie downers. I have a friend that will try to bring everyone down in some way or disagree and give their own opinion based on something you said or diss your gym because hers is better. I say "I like my gym" :wink:

    I'm glad you agree. However, I didn't generalize. I specified that it's usually people on social media, and if they'd like to call me out then I'll gladly respond.

    Thanks for your concern of my wellbeing. :wink:

    Stupid conspiracy theories
    People who misuse the term 'irony'
    Lululemon
    Turtlenecks


    What do you get unreasonably angry about?

    The fact that the government is out to make our water taste "irony" so we will buy more bottled water! I heard this girl talking about it the other day... she'd just finished a workout in some Lululemon yoga pants and was throwing on a turtleneck sweater... She looked awesome!

    When the word was introduced to the English language the British haven't even started migrating to the New World.

    But I see your point of being against language evolution. I can imagine a guy in the Vatican City going on and on about the bastardised English version of the Latin language.

    When people put condiments in the main part of the fridge instead of the door.

    I'm not sure "unreasonably angry" appropriately describes my reaction, but these are among my top annoyances:

    People who abuse animals and/or people.
    Littering
    Telephone / door-to-door solicitation
    People who believe (and spread as fact) what the media tells them.
    People that stand too close to me while in line
    Inconsiderate / selfish drivers; those who pull out in front of you / force you to brake when there is no traffic behind you, people who fly by and then get in front of you only to slow down or make a turn, distracted drivers, people who refuse to (take turns and) merge properly when a lane is shut down, and people who don’t use turn signals.
    Selfish / rude people at the grocery store, mall, etc.
    Poor restroom etiquette; failing to flush / wash hands.
    Debbie Downers - everything that comes out of their mouth is negative.

    I also like turtlenecks. :flowerforyou:

    -People who don't know their own address (this refers to my job where I have to ask). How can an adult NOT KNOW THEIR OWN ADDRESS? :explode:

    ETA: It's not unreasonable to have gotten irritated at this the first time I ran across it: the unreasonable part is when I STILL get irritated the 9,236,2154th time it happens. I should just accept it by now. :laugh:

    I love this topic haha. So some things off the top of my head that make me angry:
    - When adults (who were US born and raised) still screw up they're/their/there and you're/your all the time. I understand there are some minuscule grammar rules that people don't know, but I don't judge people based on those. It's just the really obvious and simple things that bother me when I see mistakes consistently.
    - Any stereotype. Primarily that dancers have to be twiggy. I'm a mesomorph, and the only way I could achieve the "ideal" ballerina look is when I'm underweight, which clearly isn't healthy. Not all dancers are ectomorphs. -_-
    - People who have absolutely nothing and still have the audacity to criticize your house and material things
    - Airports.
    - Train stations.
    I love being at new destinations, but I hate airplanes and trains and the atmosphere that surrounds them.
    - When someone doesn't know their email address.
    - When you can't spell the town/city you live in correctly. HOW?!
    - When someone *cough* relatives *cough* don't check their emails and want me to go through and "help them" delete their 2000 emails. No! You don't need my help! Just keep hitting delete! Maybe you shouldn't have let your email get that full in the first place. :huh:
    - Those people with 50 items that try to slip into the 14 items or fewer lines at grocery stores. You're not fooling me, people!
    - When you're using the automatic check-out at Walmart and it keeps telling you that you have to put the scanned item in the bag when you already did, and it doesn't let check out anything else until it's resolved... and the employee who's supposed to help isn't paying attention.
    - Those idiots that pay 13 dollars to go to the movies yet they sit on their phones the entire timeee and their bright screens keep distracting you from the film.
    - People who seriously dress like they're going out to the club for Sunday mass. Just, no. :grumble:
    - Those girls at the gym that check out the speed and level you're going at on the treadmill/elliptical and then haughtily increase their speed/level until they're doing something more difficult than you. B*tch, please.

    Yup haha, I'm sure there's even more I could add to this list.
