I am a pretty uncaring person so really anything I find annoying I don't exactly mind that much

I remember how mu english teacher told us not to use commas because we would get them all wrong more often if we tried to use them. :-/

"Never use addition, you'll get it wrong sometime and mess all your calculations up."

You can avoid the use of commas in a way you can't really avoid addition, though.  Heck, my maths teachers do give tips on "easier routes" for questions to save time or reduce the chance of errors.

I suppose I should change it to 'never use division, always use multiplication'.

Or ^.^, the cutest of all?

Personally, too cute for me >.>

I think I'm pretty chill, but the one thing on the internet that bothers me much more than it should is the emote ;).
I associate it with passive-aggressiveness, condescension, and just plain rudeness.

Probably from all the silly internet arguments where one guy will say things like, "Maybe if you weren't such a *, then it wouldn't bother you so much ;)"

Maybe by themselves, I can handle rudeness or the emote ;), but my head just associates the two so strongly.

EDIT: Had to disable smilies. The picture one doesn't bother me as much, even if does look a bit too smug for no reason. It's the sideways ;) that is super-negative.

I'll be honest, I tend to unconsciously make the same association.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

nah they aight. I don't know why but without that mouth the dude that uses them looks like a doooouche

People that are overintelligent(actually intelligent or not, it doesn't matter) and are generally annoying
You mean pseudo-intellecutals?

And yeah. I mean, I'm okay with stupid people. I'm stupid. I get along with them, usually. It's just when they're trying to be smart...

I am a pretty uncaring person so really anything I find annoying I don't exactly mind that much

Yeah, that one doesn't really bother me but I do feel sorry for the people who do it. It's needless extra effort and is mostly pointless since their username is right there.
