Raising awareness through social media is kinda bullshit, I agree. It's just so lazy to paste a flag over your profile pic on Facebook and then pretend you're some sort of LGBT ally or whatever. There's nothing wrong with the gesture an sich, but the fact that nowadays it's so easy to simply say you're "raising awareness" for a cause without actively helping means that most people will resort to the former rather than the latter. If you care about a group of people and want to support them, give them money, join them in some way, whatever. Unfortunately, these days it's easier and cheaper to do the whole raising awareness shtick, and you still obtain the same moral reassurance that you're doing the right thing. So yeah, pisses me off quite a bit.

Easy there lmao. You can't tell someone else what they do to themselves, if they want to get fucking lung cancer then let them. I can understand your concerns about it hurting others, though, and I do support a ban on smoking in most indoor public spaces. Just refrain from such aggressive rhetoric, it's not exactly helping anyone and you'd be quicker to encourage a smoker to smoke more than to smoke less with that attitude.

Black Friday: Absolutely.
Black Friday shoppers: Ehhh. From what I understand a lot of the shoppers going absolutely wild during Black Friday are rather poor, so I can understand why they go batshit when trying to obtain products that they couldn't afford otherwise. At the very least I think it's wrong to ridicule them like so many people seem to do so eagerly, it ignores the reason why these people stoop this low.

Here's some more things I hate:
- Shopping for holidays/buying presents for people
- People who think they're a fucking expert about everything, yet have very poor understanding of most things
- "Newspeak"
- Political incorrectness for the sake of political incorrectness
