When non-white street beggars call me racist when I don't give them money.

I don't give money to white beggars either. I'm not racist, just uncaring.

Remember that these people are also generally insane and use whatever leverage they have to get money. Pulling the race card is generally annoying.

I love how this guy admits that he just doesn't care. No beating around the bush, no lame, flimsy excuses, just "F*ck you, homeless dude of any nationality."

Ugh. This happened to me when I declined to sign a petition without even hearing what it was about (I was also not a registered voter in that state AND was in a hurry). Jeez, I'm not racist! I hate all petition signature gatherers equally.

I always want to know if people would feel equally as badly if the opposite were true. Like, if you only gave money to non-white street beggars out of guilt/fear of being perceived as racist. That's racism, too, right? Right? No one complains about that one...

Yeah but nobody actually does that, Chelsea. That's just something people came up with because some can't handle the thought of a white not being racist, so everything we do that isn't racist has to be reframed as proof that we are. Which is freakin racist.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
