I'd like to meet:

People who think Chinese letters make cool tattoos.
People who will tell me that they think vegetarians are "faggots" or otherwise stupid in bulletins instead of saying it to my face.
People who post bulletins specifically about the person they are angry with rather than directly confronting that person.
People who cancel appointments with me by not showing up rather than calling to cancel.
People who think they're doing the right thing by falling into their respective gender role.
People who listen to shitty music. Shitty music is easy to define, unless you listen to shitty music:

Hoobastank
Limp Bizkit
Disturbed
Puddle of Mud
Nickleback
Insance Clown Posse
Lil' Wayne or for that matter anyone rapper whose name starts with "lil'"
Mudvayne
brPeople who depend on name brand clothes for indentity
Guys who wear diamond studs in their ears: the larger the stud; the larger the douchebag.
People who voted for Bush.
People who voted for Bush twice.
People who update every aspect of their existence down to a haircut, new pair of sunglasses, or the additional 20 pounds of fat they gained over the weekend through MySpace bulletins and photos.
Guys who call each other bro.
People who eat McDonalds at least four times a week.
People who love to shop at Wal-Mart.
People who have not traveled out of state.
People who drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit.
People who are easily offended.
People who claim to be "tired of the drama" and "over the drama" who are usually "all about the fucking drama."
People who "have been through so much" in life and usually haven't learned shit from it despite their constant proclamation of such grand wisdom.
Walking boners.
People who wear pre-faded jeans that look they have a white stripe painted down the front of their pants.
Anyone who insists on popping their collar.
Girls who wear 14 rings and 22 necklaces.
People who don't brush their teeth and insist on speaking uncomfortably close to me.
People who ask me, "Tattooing is basically just tracing, right?"
People who answer "yes" to the above question.
Anyone voting for a candidate solely based on gender or race, or for that matter, not voting for a candidate based on gender or race. While I'm at it, people who vote only for their party's candidate.

Keep talking, I'll think of more.
