 Talk with Mark! / the snugLet´s have a party here and discuss some interesting issues, intrigues and scandals. | | | | | muecke | 17.03.09, 11:58, Beiträge: 4 |  |  |  |  | What makes me angry is the herd of self-appointed experts that shows up whenever something terrible happens (like some person running amok, some family man abusing his children, etc.) having quick and simple solutions (and pretending to know everything about why this happened and have always known it would) and spreading them all over the place without really knowing anything or letting themselves think about the matter more than let's say 20 seconds. | | muecke | 12.03.09, 17:20, Beiträge: 4 |  |  |  |  |  smart alecs - I already love this expression, thanks! :-) | | Mark | 21.08.08, 10:43, Beiträge: 107 |  |  |  |  | Thank you for your posting, my dear.
All those people who think they`re the best are called - smart alecs, eh?
In German - Klugscheißer:-)))

Hey all,
many things make me angry
for example the war between Russian and Georgia while the Olympic games. That is incredible. Or surely the politicals decisions, the normal reason to be angry. Persons, who think they are the best, they know all things in the world and intolerance.
But that is our life everywhere are problems. -.-
Bye

I suppose you mean the expression:
to strike below the belt.
Or:
to hit someone below the belt.
You could also say:
That was a kick in the guts.
Guts is a pretty important word in English.
It means - Eingeweide.
But there are many other expressions with the word guts.
Cheers!

Good morning everybody,
The following things don't make me angry, I just cannot understand why people behave like this.
I don't like gossip, rudeness (especially when it come to shop assistants some people behave unbelievably bad - just throw the money on the belt / line - I don't know the word for it but I hope you will understand it anyway), intolerance (especially when it's the question of religion).
But ... have a nice week. From next week on I will be on holiday (inwardly I am dancing!:-))
Regards
sane

Disrespectfull people make me very angry
Managers who believe they can treat e.g. production people as if they are goods
Ignorance
people who wallow in self-pity
Not to forget Vista on my computer - at the moment it looks like as if I am winning.....
Martina | | rjirmann | 01.08.08, 17:16, Beiträge: 56 |  |  |  |  | What makes me angry? Hmm..
This computer thing, Viktoria mentioned, is definitely mine too.:-))
And I get angry when someone lies to me or hides the truth, especially when it is a friend or lover.
And when someone is betraying my emotions, for example shows an opportunistic behaviour just to keep my love.
No, that doesn't make me angry that makes me sad.
But I get angry when someone don’t screw up the tube of toothpaste. :-))
All socks on the right place? Or lying around on the floor?

hmm
hi all!
no angry people here at all?? I can't and I don't believe that.
Come on folks, let it all out!!!
What makes me angry:
As already mentioned - my boss pisses me off
people having a manager title and manager salary, but never acting like a manager - bloody idiots!(the dilbert principle)
impolite people (no manners, rude interruptions, tactlessness)
my computer (sometimes I have the urge to throw it out of the window)
stupid customers
slowly drivers (especially elderly people driving a fat bmw or mercedes with 45 km per h instead of allowed 80 or 100 km/h)
politicians (german as well as the rest of the international pack)
injustice
lack of time
gossip(especially gissiping neighbours)
Well, somehow all this is related. Depends on the context.

I hate when people think they`re always right.
Losing my gloves, glasses and money:-)))
Being too late.
And you, dear Readers?
