Girl in critical condition after being left in hot car. (http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/lv-other/2005/aug/26/519263095.html)

Just hours before his 17-month-old daughter Brianna was pulled unconscious and barely breathing from a hot parked car Thursday, Teofilo Rodriguez had been helping the toddler walk in their northeast Las Vegas front yard, neighbors said.


Heat cited in child's car death last week in Mt. Pleasant. (http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050820/NEWS08/508200322/1001/RSS01)


A 1-year-old found dead in a car Thursday in Mount Pleasant had been in the vehicle for several hours and may have died of heat stroke, authorities said. Police Chief Terry Sammons declined to reveal the baby’s identify or other details. Sammons said the body was taken from a car seat in a vehicle parked in the 300 block of South Van Buren Street around 2:30 p.m

I saw a baby sleeping in a locked car the parking lot of Bed, Bath & Beyond today and it made my blood boil! I just don't get how a parent could leave a child in a car.

So, what are some of the things that make your blood boil?

People ignorantly defending Internet Explorer often make my blood boil, actually. It's so hard to argue with people who have no idea what they're talking about.

Not a whole lot, unless I'm hormonally inclined. In which case, everything.

No not really, but it depends on a lot on timing. A-bomb defenders, blatant but unadmitted hypocrites, and the guy I lost my virginity to transcend all timing.

Not much. Little things tend to piss me off more than the things that really should, though.

However...liars and theives are the worst king of people, as far as I'm concerned. All the worst people start off as these. Someone who steals from me, even the smallest thing, automatically deserves to die.

A-bomb defenders,

I might say the same about people who think using the A-bomb is a bad idea. I might also say people who leave anonymous negative reputations remarks based on emotional, historically uninformed, and morally relatavistic viewpoints.

Such a vast number of things make "my blood boil" that I just try and focus on the things that don't.

Would you like another banning? If you don't, i suggest you quit.

Or maybe people who make pseudo-sarcastic posts about me being historically uninformed and morally relatavisitic when they haven't had a conversation with me on...anything o-O Try IMing me if you feel like making a personal slam please...or just leave some neg rep, that's what it's there for.

Video games that should be great but aren't (I won't name names, Prince of Persia), people who continue to push their views even after they've been proven wrong, THAT F**KING CRAZY FROG, irritating TV ads, the vast majority of mobile phone users, Diamond car insurance and celebrities.

Someone did that in Oklahoma. She left her kid in the car, while she went to gamble in the Cherokee Casino. Just thought I'd throw thar out there. They rescued the kid though; a gas station attendant saw her in the car and released her.

Yeah, same for me. When you find out it fails to function, you try and fix it again and again until it works while getting frustrated at each attempt.

One word: Emo.

lol bro, I've raised you well <3

on another note...myspace. :P OH, especially how like you're browsing myspace, lured into a false sense of security, and suddenly you encounter one of those profiles that's one of the PROFILES OF DOOM, aka it has so much stuff on it that it freezes your computer without warning for about 2 minutes, kicks you offline, or just makes you shut down. I'm sure some of you know what I mean.

also, when you're browsing webpages and listening to music, and suddenly you hit a webpage that has REALLY LOUD RANDOM MUSIC that makes you jump 5 feet in the air and ruins your jam session.

I hate to see animals locked in a car on a hot day with the windows rolled up tight. I'm not all for animal rights or anything, but that's just plain cruel.

People who use something or somebody else to get what they want in a manipulative manner.
Anyone who abuses their control or authority.
Anyone who thinks they have the right to violate my personal space, freedom of thought and rights.
People who would rather blame their unhappiness and depression on the fact the universe is out to get them than either take real, important action and changes in their life.... or just admit that sometimes bad things happen and you have to exert yourself to get over them.
Drivers who run red lights and almost kill me while I turn left on my advance green.
People who would not admit they are wrong.
Terrorists, child abusers, spousal molesters.

Emo kids frequently make my blood boil.

Actually, one of my friends said that, but the phrase "blood boil" in the title reminded me of it. In actuality, I'm a pretty laid-back guy and not much gets my goat.

It really makes my blood boil when I can never find the droids I'm looking for.

I hate it when people try to create drama in social situations. It's stupid and it only makes me want to beat the shit out of them.

Typographical errors. Only when I make them though. I'll be instant messaging someone and I'll just get too ahead of myself and before I know it I'm spelling every other word wrong. I swear, you'd think I was missing fingers or something.

People who insist on schooling me with non-existant info when, most cases, I've went through with it.

I.E. Wrestling stuff like the real reason why Vince bought out WCW, etc.

The debate doesn't irritate me, it's the fact that they keep pushing on like there facts are the only true facts... -.-

- When people make drama in places and situations that there shouldn't be

- People who aren't willing to question their beliefs or at least try to see things from another perspective (Liberal, conservative... anyone)

- Teamkilling

Mine is similar, except that this could be seen as voluntary. I hate it when people put apostrohes before every "S" they come across. It annoys me even more when big businesses do it. Like Stone Computers. They sell PC's by the dozen.

Browser wars/OS wars/Theme wars or basically any major argument on the internet that hinges on the assumption that if you use a particular piece of software you are somehow inferior to someone else that uses a different piece of software. Common holy wars include:
Firefox vs. IE vs. Opera Windows vs. Linux dark vs. light themes on forums ATI vs. nVidia

Additionally, the baby/pet in cars thing pisses me off because there is no excuse to NOT know about it. If I had the money to go through the arrests and such I would break windows when I see babies in cars.

Also, people who refuse to learn make my blood boil. When I have to show someone for the eighth time how to use their scanner, I question why they even bought it in the first place.

The fact that going to message boards is NERDY!!11!11 but having myspaces with tons of emo self centered crap and friends that you don't even know (OMG GUYZ I'M FRIENDZ WITH CHEVELLE AND HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS ON MY MYSPACE OMGOMGOMG <---actual quote btw) is cool.

Seconded on musical ads, I hate it when I'm really into a song only to be interuppted with crappy guitar riffs on gamefags.

The other night I thought of something particularly annoying, and I said to my wife "Do you know what I hate?"
She immediately replied "Everything."

And she was right! So that's my answer. Everything. :sb: Except my wife, of course. ;)

Same as Carrot Red.

People who make fun of defenseless babies and children just becase they think they're being funny. Glenn the Great is one of these people.

People who think they're just awesome and think they're going to take over an internet forum, but are really just big stinkin' losers. Glenn the Great is one of these people.

People who think they're God. Glenn the Great is one of these people.

People who think they're Satan. Glenn the Great is one of these people.

People who think they know all this shit about you, your life, and how you raise your child, when really, they don't know anything but hear-say from their lying, cheating, theif of a boyfriend. The ones who say you spend all your money on yourself and basically imply that your 22lb, size 18month, crawling/talking/almost walking/teething/biting/laughing/barking/squealing/happy/drooling/rolling/growing 9 month old baby is naked, malnourished, and neglected. People who tell me I'm a bad mother when I work 45-50 hours a week to take care of my child, collecting a little less than $40 a week from his father for child support and still getting by. Being told that I'm keeping my son from his father, except for two days a week, when his father has called to cancel his visitation for things like being in Washington, D.C., babysitting someone else's kids, "not having gas", being *coughcough* "sick", and other various excuses for not wanting to make the trip because his self-absorbed fat, ugly girlfriend is more im-fucking-portant. People who accuse me of people a horrible person because I won't allow my son to ride in a vehicle with his father who DOESN'T HAVE CAR INSURANCE. Because I won't allow my babay's father's 6-month rebound girlfriend BOND with MY son, when I don't let anyone that I date or see ever even MEET my son. People who tell me I'm horrible, and mean, and a bad mother when THEY went and got an abortion and LIED about it.

So, what makes my blood boil? Horrible parents, Glenn the Great, and Steve/his girlfriend.

Hehehe it's kind of like saying

"No offense, but you are a faggot and should die! Get a haircut jerk!"

and getting agitated when the receiver is annoyed. The best way to "not say something" is to not click the "Post" button. Lots of times I type out nasty replies and instead of clicking "Post" I click "X".

Also I'm probably psychotic so I give good advice.

Something else that gets to me... people who can't take a joke. It's a little harder to imply that you're being silly when you're chatting online, but some people just take everything as fact and get so worked up over it. Honestly...
