1. People who do something, specifically because they know it annoys you. (eg. You hate a specific sound - they make it. You hate a specific word - they use it constantly.)
2. Commercial interruptions. Seriously, I get that money needs to be made and I'll even go along the lines of saying commercials have likely caused me to buy a lot of needless shit I felt I could use. But when they interrupt something so often, that it makes you wait and wait to see the outcome.. its constantly annoying.
3. Teases. If all you want to be is one, go play in traffic and pretend to be a yellow line. With luck, someone will cross over you.
4. Yes-People. More specifically, the so-called friends who love the person you're dating until they leave you/you leave them. Then suddenly, none of your so-called friends ever liked them to begin with. WTF?!

1) People talking to me when I have my headphones / ear buds on: if you need me so urgently, tap me on my shoulder or put a fucking hand in my face so I can take my shit off. I won't be able to hear a damn thing you say when I'm listening to something else.
2) Non-profit organizations setting up shop in front of grocery stores: I hate the grocery store enough as it is. I don't need some asshole accosting me, selling me a shitty water bottle for $30 bucks to help out the D.A.R.E. program. If you want to steal my money, at least come to my house to do so, where I'm in my comfort zone.
There's probably other shit, but I need to think of it.

People that bail on you. Happens all too often with people who are not my close friends.
When my coworkers sit down and bs for like an hour as I get to work, when they have shit to take up. Which ends up being that I have to finish putting their shit away. And then saying "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it". Blah blah, no you aren't sorry you dumb bitch. You did it on purpose.

1) Hypocrites. Saying one thing and doing another. Or someone who parties and gets fucked by about 10 frat boys on Saturday, then goes to church on Sunday to teach Sunday School. There are other variations of this, but that one stuck out to me.
2) Not getting a hint. I'm pretty subtle when it comes to not wanting to be around anyone at a certain point in time... like putting on earphones or looking busy... yet people still want to come over and pester you for no good reason. Then when you tell someone flat out, they get mad. Jesus Christo.
3) Lying when there's no need to and there's no real consequence in telling the truth. I understand maybe withholding the truth if someone's job's on the line or if a life may be at stake, but lying to make yourself look better or to make someone look bad is just plain dumb. No one really cares anyway.
4) The 'user'. I call this person the 'user' not for drug use, but for me use. Someone who spills the beans about their issues and problems, then when you want to talk to them, they don't have time or they ignore you or act like it's a huge burden for them to listen. I've lost a few friendships and girlfriends over this issue.
5) Obnoxiousness. Nothing may peeve me more than being obnoxious. I slugged a dude for being obnoxious in a bar. A cut eyebrow and chipped tooth later, I still felt great slugging the hell out of that yard ape. There's no need for being obnoxious unless you're either trying to pick a fight or you're an idiot.
6) Being a snob. When someone acts like they're above talking to you around certain people. I've had this happen a few times. Flattened someone's tires for it, too.
7) The brainiac. We know you're smart. No need to point it out every second of the day, then try to make someone feel bad for it. Fucker.
8) Racists. Is there anyone dumber than a racist? I think not.
9) Being extremely ditzy. It's one thing to be cute and not know some things (Jessica Simpson), but to be flat out dumb and not be aware of it (Heidi Pratt), that is something that just annoys the hell out of me. Read a book. Watch a documentary. Stop *********ing or blowing random douchebags long enough to educate yourself.
10) Mr. Opinionated. Someone who has something to say about everything. Even if they know shit about the topic at hand. And most of the time, they disagree with said person. I've been in a fight with someone over this. A physical fight. He kept on and kept on and I called him out on it. Then he admitted he just wanted to do it to piss me off. Fair enough. A right cross to the mouth later, he had very little to say. Mind you, the guy had been doing this for ages before I finally got tired of it. Plus I was a little drunk. Whoops.
11) The showboat drunk. I"m not saying IC's in this category. He's not showing off. He's just a man who loves his WZ. I'm talking about the dude who is maybe slightly to moderately wasted and is going around saying, "I'm so drunk, man. I'm sooo... drunk." We get it. You're drunk. Congrats. Go get a cookie or go driving on the interstate. I told a drunkard to go do that once. He did. He got put in jail. I felt bad. For a second.

One of my biggest as well. If my music is so loud to the point where other people can hear it, why are you talking to me? Usually i'm just completely not even paying attention to anyone around me, or i'm busy doing something else. People just start talking to me, then when you look up and see them talking and ask.. "Uh, what?" They get pissed off..
I hate those people so bad. 98% of the time i'm the guy my friends come to for advice, or if they need to just rant and try and get advice. I ask them to listen, or try to get help from them.. they just act ignorant. It's fucked up..
What grinds my gears? People who abbreviate words that don't need to be. For example, a girl on my friends Myspace left a comment: "Wht r u so mad abt?" Holy batshit. That's a grammatical trainwreck. That just bugs me.
What else.. OH! I work at Wendy's. Unfortunately, Wendy's is open late. 1am on Sunday-Thursday. 2am Friday & Saturday. Today we wanted to get out of there at a reasonable hour, so we cleaned and had everything nice and organized, all set up and re-stocked. All that stuff. At 12:58 a car rolls up to the window, orders.. I think it was a Homestyle chicken sandwich, a single combo. Large. She then proceeded to bitch about the fries not being fresh. Said she wanted 'fresh meat' and all that. I honestly don't know where that "customer is always right" shit came from. It needs to go away. That really.. really bugs me. When people come within like.. 5 minutes of closing, and then bug you about not having like.. banquet style food. Like wow, really? You came to a Wendy's at 1 AM. What do you expect?

Apart from those that act outside Common Courtesy, and unwritten codes of conduct similar to this, there are three major things that grinds my gears. And wouldn't you know, it's the three most powerful entities on the planet:
1) Money
2) Government
3) Religion
These all tie together. Through the power of money, the governments around the world can manipulate everything that happens in the history books to what they see fit. They created religion to distract the masses and serve people with bullshit propaganda & false hope promising us of an afterlife of bliss. Everyone, except for the "elite" few, are being suppressed from finding out the truth. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, I don't care... somethings in history just don't add up when given the full details.
And this has nothing to do with the fact that I have played the Assassin Creed series.

Right... Rant out of the way, time to refute the crap you actually posted.
First:
Christianity as a religion spent the large part of it's early days being persecuted... by whom? By the government of its day.
Second:
Prior to and during the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant church was persecuted by the majority of countries whose officials were Catholic. These people were religious people who had come to power, not people in power who had become religious.
Third:
Governments today are largely apathetic or indeed anti-religion.
It is therefore ridiculous to say the Government created religion.
Point 2 - Conspiracy theories:
You claim when you have all the facts, things in history don't add up. Correct me if i'm wrong, but you weren't there to have all the facts

My main complaint would be reality shows and stars. First with the nonsense of Heidi and Spencer and John and Kate plus 8, along with Octomom. Enough already. The balloon boy's parents caused an uproar trying to get their own reality show, and the White House party crashers are trying to get a reality show too.
It's like you can have a brain the size of your shoe and you are qualified to be on television. Not to mention that awful exploited Toddlers and Tiaras show. Where toddlers dress like beauty pageant rape victims for their parent's selfishness. They actually have a beauty contest where these 5 year old's can wear thongs. Thongs for Christ sake.
Another thing would be people who are against minorities because they aren't in "God's Image" Which means people that aren't white, people that are homosexual, or people that are in interracial relationships. Not to mention the hatred for people that have a name you can't pronounce must be a terrorist. I really don't know what these bigots will do when white people are the minorities in 50 years.

Text nymphs is another peeve of mine. People that have to text or talk while they do everything. People that text in class, while they are walking running into you, people that do it while driving, and people you are introduced too that spend the entire time texting instead of talking to you.
Next would be the WWE or TNA marks that blast the product without even watching it or giving it a chance. WWE marks that blast TNA not because they have seen the show, but because TNA has a six sided ring and "WWE Rejects". The same can be said about TNA marks that blast WWE because Cena only knows 5 moves! or Triple H is destroying the WWE.

I believe I made a Family Guy reference on a similar thread... Never mind.
What Grinds My Gears (Sit down, this could take a while):
1) Reality TV: Are teens in the US really this goddamn stupid and overly dramatic? Jackass, The Osbournes and the first season of American Idol were entertaining. Maybe its due to the lack of "drama".
2) MTV: Any other stupid ideas you have on documenting the "Life and Times Of Dumbass Teens"? 16 and Pregnant. What's the purpose? To show how miserable the kid is for fucking up? Brilliant. Yeah. Record their misery for future reference. Cribs. Cancel it. You've documented every celeb there is. At this rate you'll show up at my house. Super Sweet Sixteen. Yeah. Spoiled 16 year old bitchy and overly dramatic girls. Google is more arrousing than this.
3) Irresponsable Pet Owners: Goddamnit! If you have a dog, keep an eye on him. If a female dog shows up, don't let it stay. If the 2 dogs start to "get along", castrate that son of a bitch! You have 10 freaking dogs shitting and dragging dead iguanas in my back yard while my dog has to stay on a leash so he won't run off with your... "Pac".
4) Ignorance: Its curable you know. The vaccine is an education. Go get it. I believe its free in most places.
5) Ex-Girlfriends: I swear to God they all moved to Orlando. Its the weirdest thing. We date for a few months, we break up and a few months later they announce they're moving to Orlando. What? Do you have some kind of "Anti-Robert Morales Coalition" over there? My dad used to live there. He has the same name as me. You sure you didn't chase him out or some shit? Damn.
6) My Neighborhood: Everyday I walk around 2 miles... Where the hell is everyone? There's a house, there's a sub-urb, there's an apartment complex... Hello? Where you at? The Anti-Robert Coalition in Orlando Florida? Shit...
There's still more.........

This is why I don't reveal much about my beliefs, because everyone is like "oh that FalKon is crazy and an idiot." In my eyes, what I say makes more sense as one man creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh. There are others, but I can't mention them due to the fact I could be considered breaking the rules if I do.
All in all, I hate the government, religion and money, with how the three intertwine.
