[Closed] Personality types that make you want to tear you hair out...

*with* prostate massage.

Onanism is only classified as self-discovery if you're thinking about yourself for all 20 seconds... I'm told.

20 seconds

That includes undoing your trousers, right?

Yup, and wipe-age. 😳

Those with an inflated sense of entitlement.

And:

Not strictly speaking a personality type, but somewhat related to the OP's gripe: anyone with a faint whiff of crystals about them.

Haha... I was going to add something about 'crystals' and reiki massage.

Exercise freaks.

Oh.. wait...

Yes, essentially anyone whose belief system is based upon subscribing to anything which makes them feel good about themselves.

Y'know, says things like "Everything happens for a reason".

*SLAP*

People who will talk about doing something. Endlessly. In every tiny minute detail. Instead of actually [i]doing[/i] anything! JUST GET ON WITH IT FFS!!!!

4Cough Molly! I've cut back to one session a day and have started smoking instead.

Most likely all those about to appear on tonight's apprentice.

Self discovery types, as above. Especially when all they really discovered was the ability to smash daddy's credit card, whilst travelling the globe to "find themselves".

people

God squad.
Or the ones that insist on telling me about it anway.
I really don't care...

People who have to contribute to every conversation in the office even if they have nothing to say.

People who complain that other people aren't answering their questions (or that the answers aren't meaningful) because they don't like the answer they've been given...

Wet, pathetic, overly passive and easily offended people - Grow a pair.

Most people that have recently discovered themselves are a little wet and pathetic. Just **** get on with it you introspective **.

Maybe iDave is right.

LoLing, mate of sara's is well into all that dream interpretation and cystal stuff. It's quite interesting but she is a little bit intense, bless

*I know some freaks on here [i]occasionally[/i] ride but there's not many of them.

It's quite interesting

Careful emsz... she'll turn you! Please say you haven't starting buying purple stuff.

surprised nobody's mentioned

'middle class whiney cockbags.'

attention seekers

anyone who believes a man in a funy hat is right on everything everytime.

Oh and theres a whole programe about annoying personality types tonight, BBC1 21.00.
Its called THE APPRENTICE.

Yeti, you'd like her, she dresses like a slut most of the time, leopard print skirts, 5 inch FM heels. 😆

Roadies. It's a disability I suppose, and not a personality type though.

[img] [/img]

People who won't answer questions but keep insisting they have 🙂

People who can't accept that they are wrong. 😀

Emsz - is she....

[img] [/img]

Would. 😳

Women

people who confuse dogged repetition with intelligent discussion 😉

Compulsive attention seekers.

people who confuse dogged repetition with intelligent discussion

So you keep saying!

any sort of evangelical zealot of any persuasion. Doesn't matter if it's about politics, god, exercise, diet, one particular riding style etc..

ecobuffoons who insist that we are "killing the planet". we're not, the planet couldn't give a flying toss. the most we'll do is make it un-inhabitable for humans and die off as a species, which isn't a bad thing. There have been far bigger climatic changes than we could ever contribute to, and there will be again well after we've all left

oh and those who seek constant approval

In fact I'll just got with a simple " I hate everyone" it's much easier and closer to the truth 😀

People who incessantly talk about themselves, or some other crap that they think you want to hear, then when you attempt some input they are clearly not interested/listening and butt in again at the earliest opportunity. I find these people are usually full of shit to boot.

I can't stand pillocks or wallies

People who 'gush' or are massively over enthusiastic . The ones who ask a string of four or five questions in a row, without waiting for you to answer the first one .
"Hi there! How are you? , Did you have a good day ?, Where did you end up going?, What time did you get back?."
Any reply is then met with a set of superlatives like " wow , how fabulous" , " that sounds amazing"
I only went for a massive poo.

Big-headed, arrogant, bigoted attention seekers.

I would have thought that some "self-discovery" actually comes from having overcoming adversity/illness, so is not all bad.

The vain
The insensitive
The self-interested

Yeah, insensitivity is not a good trait and those who are unable to empathise.

I guess the two things could be related.

none. because life's too short to give the time of day to those who might.

the new guy at work :

i couldn't categorise his personality type as such, but by 09.15 i'm usually ready to replicate the ball point pen scene from casino

Actually.. I was going to refrain from comment because I don't like bitching in general, but it does really annoy me when people recommend things too forcefully. Like 'oh you MUST read this book/visit this place/do this thing'. That's just the wrong approach. You should tell me how much you liked something and why, and I'll decide if I want to go there. I may even ask some questions and have a nice chat about it.

Yeti, more like [img] [/img]

philly, when is your wedding?

emsz - wasn't you that requested Bring Me The Horizon on Kerrang the other night by any chance was it?

I was thinking I don't know of any emsz', but then I presume it's short for Emma and I don't know any of them either.

Agreed about being told where to visit (or go on holiday).

I hate it with a passion and will deliberately not go where people have told me to go.

Psychologists

Just people who write massive papers and come up with fancy names for stuff we knew already. Then their explanations for why this isn't the case... Don't get me started.

'Born again' Christians are another group! I don't care how good 'God' makes you feel. I don't give a toss.

And as already mentioned, those people who have subscribed to 'self help' courses.

miserably moaning Emos, like really poo goths but without the good music, culture, or tongue in cheek humour.

sorry artist, not me. Emsz is a joke really, not Emma, Amelia 😳

Amelia is a cool name - we named our daughter it anyway. She gets Millie for short

I hate it with a passion and will deliberately not go where people have told me to go.

Not sure I'd go that far - well except for not wanting to go to our family friends' flat in Anstruther which my mum keeps banging on about. If I decide I want to holiday in Fife I'll consider it, otherwise I'll go where I want and find suitable accommodation there.

I do however refuse to read books that people try and make me read. They tend to get quite offended and push it even further to the point of obsession too.

Artist, yeah I have a love/hate thing with it. It was a bit shit at school sometimes getting teased, but now people just say how nice it is.

most friends call me "Em" (shortened millie as well 🙄 ) emsz or emszy is what gf uses when she's being needy. LOL.

the person in the room you dislike the most is the one thats most like you.

edit spelling

*makes note to call emszy, emszy from now on.

Needy, overly emotional and want want want people that get all aggressive the minute you ask them the tiniest favour. Like my mother in law. Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh.

And breathe.

I was told that I was told by one of those crystal toting eejits that by looking in my eyes she could tell I had high cholesterol which was impressive because I had had very little sleep, spanked myself Ina bike race and was 6 bottles down of rather tasty beer. All I could tell was I wanted fried food. Strangely I had had my cholesterol tested the week before and it was fine. She is total fruit loop though but for some reason my mate is seeing her again after another RTW trip to meet her in England and bring her back. Actually, he told me why but we will gloss over that.

People who are talkers and not listeners. I know one of those..

'So how was your weekend'

(Me) fine thank you... you?

Then flows an hour by hour description..........

people who dominate a conversation with practicalities and smalltalk.. especially when there's jokes to share and stories to be told..

I don't like to tell anyone to sit down and shut up but these people are talking loud and saying nothing and life's too short for that..

People who are talkers and not listeners.

I'm guessing you're a talker yourself then? I prefer the company of talkers, saves me the bother of talking... with the caveat that they must not be telling me how dispicable the world has become and that through their soulsearchingcrystalwavingjossstickburning their somehow different from the rest of us.

No I'm a listener. I'm also the type who doesn't ask you your job, how much you earn or about your house and equity. Whenever someone uses those metrics to 'get to know me' I pop them into the shallow ****er box.

I will ask you about your car though and if its quirky I'll want to know all the details

Whenever someone uses those metrics to 'get to know me' I pop them into the [s]shallow ****[/s] works in sales or recruitment box.

Adults who like harry potter and dr who, its shit and is for kids FFS!

the poor.

Anyone who has taken coke. **** me I don't miss London for them 😆

This. Crikey, I've had some boring conversations in pubs with some colossal tossers who've partaken in the Colombian marching powder.

The worst was when a girl from my local gym started to chat me up, I had to be quite rude to get rid of her. Shame, she was quite pretty too.

And needy people. They drive me nuts...

sat 8th sept emszywemzy 😀 being yeti's +1 means you both get to perv on da laydeez 8)

I was brought up not to ask. Is that an english thing?

Not sure but for me to get to know to know someone my technique is to get them talking, their passions, their attitudes and values that come from this.

Hearing they have a stone built house thats worth £350,000 and work as a Finance Officer tells me nothing about the person.

I start the conversation as I'm looking for something interesting about them to explore- i.e. I want to find out about them to make the conversation worthwhile. It may turn out that we have something in common or...equally better sometimes- we have a differing opinion that we could discuss.

That for me is social interaction. Many many many times though I've had the almost 'read from a rote' staccato questions crudely put to me.

This is truly priceless. Do keep going

Natural blondes though. They are the exception. I've no idea what they are saying just what I am thinking 8)

Middle-aged women martyrs/gatekeepers.

You can find them in any company or public sector function.

*back of hand on forehead*
"Oh this organisation would just collapse if it werent for me. No, I just must go in to work a process the PK245 forms, despite carrying every debillitating contagion known to man. If I dont, the company will have ceased trading by 4pm"

and then gatekeeping: You can propose the slickest, easiesit, lowest cost, new processes to an organisation, but if Judy, 58, Office Manager for Purchasing and Contracts Division doesnt give it the nod, then you can kiss it goodbye. If you dare try and implement it she will derail/sabotage/call the comrades to the picket until she has her own way...

They also dont like you riding on Bridleways.

Judy, 58

Last copulated at the age of 22.

Tried hard with this one, but... Nope. I usually leave the room before I get to that stage.

I'm glad you've articulated this so well. My wife and I just call these people "Sue" as its usually their name. I find that they are also commonly found as the person that watches you using the self checkouts at the supermarket, then they have the special authority to fix the machine when it thinks you're stealing a grape.

I also thoroughly dislike anyone who takes part in "anecdotal top-trumps", I blame the facebook generation. Nobody seems to undertake any activity for any reason other than to tell people about it anymore. And everyone has done something similar but slightly harder/longer/faster.

Self discovery types, as above. Especially when all they really discovered was the ability to smash daddy's credit card, whilst travelling the globe to "find themselves".
