46. Annoying!

If you complain about something, like how humid it is, you get a reply about how you don't know humidity, spend some time in Bangkok and you'll know hot; not being able to open a jar of pickles: "Well, if THAT'S your only problem." You literally can't say anything. The most annoying are those who believe every conspiracy theory about America, that shooting victims are actors, the U.S. government murders everyone with drones, President Obama couldn't give a speech without teleprompters and was born in Kenya, but heaven forbid you say anything the least bit negative about THEIR country. Oh no, that's rude. Call Americans fat, ugly, stupid, greedy, arrogant, etc., everyone knows it's true so what's the problem.
