things that annoy you. i'll start.
1. i am not oriental. rugs are oriental. vases are oriental. maybe even food is oriental. i am asian. people are asian. objects are oriental. 2. i am not good at math. 3. i do not know karate. 4. not every asian is chinese, although i happen to be chinese. 5. just b/c we are asian does not mean we support north korea or that we are communist. just like not every person from germany is a member of hitler's regime. |

AE I will agree with the rest of those points, but I have never known an asian guy that was not a math geek, thats including drunken potheads. But in case your the exception u might want to write that on your t-shirt. This would allow me and others to locate next to hot girls instead of the desk directly behind u in some pain in the ass stats class.

11. Just because I look like a soft, white, rich chic, raised in an ivory tower, doesn't mean I am one. Take a minute to meet me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
12. Thank you for the nice compliment about my hair. Now would you please let go of it? LOL

14. The thing that annoys me: Dallas-Mavs Trolls
15. and if the guy behind me at the Minny-Dallas game was alone I would have kicked his ass. I don't mind beer, but I didn't wanna wear it home.

I hate when people assume that Texans are necessarily dumb, ignorant and (this is my favorite of all) prejudiced. When I was in college in New England, I found-- to my utter horror and consternation-- that all Southerners are automatically assumed to be backwards, right-wing, racist, sexist, homophobic... And to others' points: though not Asian, I also cringe when people use the word "Oriental" for anything other than rugs. I think there are just many, many people who don't know it's offensive and inaccurate.

I'm hoping #19 is like a circuitous logic-type double negative and negates #18 or I'll join the long list of people with whom you've come to blows! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You're making my head hurt.

20. It's mildly annoying when people dismiss or critique the opinions of others without offering up their own for a similar critique.
21. It's fairly annoying when people clutter the message board with posts about what a moron/hypocrite/spoiled fan all other posters that don't agree with them are. 22. Lists are really annoying.

<< back on topic 23. being in a car with anyone that wants to listen to Jim Rome. Annoying >> Jim Rome is greatness. Who else so artfully employs dead air, obviously artificial street lingo, and name dropping? I do like his France jokes, though...

Street lingo? Didn't remember that part. Also, I was referring to those that presently have a show.
As for Rome, you know he's greatness, based upon his ratings domination here in DFW. Oh, wait, um, never mind...

I loathe double-parkers. And alongside them people who honk their horns incessantly when they can't get AROUND a double-parker.
Damn them all. |

On a related note, I loathe people who take up two spaces in a parking lot. They deserve to have their toenails ripped off with a pair of pliers. Or somesuch.

My roommate has a question: What do you call someone who's half French Canadian and half Chinese? She wants to know what she is. Amer-Asian?

She wanted to know what to call herself in English. She knows how to say it in Mandarin. She says it's roughly translated as "egg yolk".

24. People that don't know how to operate intersections with stop signs. If I have a stop sign, and you have a stop sign, and you come to a stop at the intersection first, then YOU go first, not me. Man that pisses me off when people can't figure it out. Maybe it's just an Albuquerque thing. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

25. Those damn happy meal toys that you have to get a set. How many times do they think I can stand to eat their food? And the stupid things have to be put together. The cheap crap doesn't stay together and the kids have a fit.

<< << My roommate has a question: What do you call someone who's half French Canadian and half Chinese? She wants to know what she is. Amer-Asian? >> <bump> Any suggestions? >> Just because the tone of her skin is totally caucasian and her features aren't totally of European descent, doesn't mean that she has to call herself any thing other than American or by her 1st name. American has enough room of all races to be included. I someone wishes to add to that, it's fine. Just not mandatory.
