Ya know what really rubs my fur the wrong way? (Rant!!)

Let's get this party started!
When you're around people who use a RIDICULOUS amount of perfume; so much that you actually start choking from lack of oxygen. This effect is multiplied when you're allergic to perfume, such as myself. It feels like you're coughing up a fucking lung.
Argumentative people who absolutely refuse to admit they're wrong when you know they are. It just blows my mind! I mean, cmon! Is it THAT hard to accept the fact that one could possibly be wrong about a certain point, ESPECIALLY when the proof is RIGHT THERE in front of their ignorant faces!
This may come off as a bit discriminatory, but keep in mind, I am speaking my mind about things that bother me. People who just assume you know how to speak a certain language JUST BECAUSE you look like someone of their culture. Coming from personal experience, it fucking burns me to the core when I encounter someone or am aiding someone at work who doesn't know a word of English, so as a cop out they look at me, assume I'm Persian (Which is the most common mistake I get, I'm actually Portuguese) and start speaking Arabic or Farsi to me. In my mind I'm thinking "are you fucking serious...? Really...? Do I LOOK Persian to you?" Which of course I realize is a rhetorical question because they were ignorant enough to think such a thought, rather than apply common sense and try to express their thoughts in a manner I can understand.
Finally, People who come in from different countries and just expect the country to conform to their way of life. Now don't get me wrong. Immigration is cool. It gives people native to their country an experience to meet others from other nations as well as allow the immigrant a chance at a new life. Yea, key words: NEW LIFE! That means you most of your old life behind and accept how WE operate in your new home which YOU decided to come to in the first place. Don't come here expecting the government to start building shit that represents your old nation or expect citizens of their homeland to learn your native language. You came to our country, you can damn well learn our languages! We have two main languages here in Canada. English and French. Have the common courtesy to learn at least ONE of those languages. Otherwise you always have the option of leaving and returning to your old nation.
GAH! *breathes* ok...I'm done...just needed to get that off my chest...thanks for reading to those who were interested in my thoughts.
