I guess everything that pisses me off really can be crystallized into self-centeredness.
Anymore it seems like the world (and America in particular) is increasingly filled with a bunch of whiny, self-centered morons who feel entitled to behave how they want, say whatever they want, and do whatever they want with no fear of consequences. This translates to your road-ragers, your PC-police, fat people who want to sue McDonalds for "making" them fat, and so on.
These are the same ones who always seem to assert that it is their "right" to have a nice house and a fast car and a big-screen TV, and free health care, and someone else should make that all happen for them. You know the ones. The ones that never do anything for themselves and then cry "it's not fair" when those who do are rewarded for their efforts. They want everything given to them, but they want to give nothing.
I guess what pisses me off the most is that people just seem to have no regard for each other anymore. It's all about looking out for old #1, and anyone that gets in the way of "me getting what I want" is met with what basically amounts to the adult form of a temper tantrum.
