I hate "fake" people. People who basically are so full of crap that every breath they take is a lie. The clever ones usually come off as genuine, but you can always tell if you're observant enough. Sometimes it's as blatant as them bragging about stuff they've done in their wildly exciting lives. Other times, its harder to spot, but its even worse.
Examples: I knew a guy who worked at this wreath factory, which contributes to the "wreaths across america" program. For those who don't know, its something where wreathmakers donate their wreaths to arlington cemetery. Anyway, this guy was always bragging about what a good person he is, because even though the pay sucked and the hours were killing him, he worked there just because those veterans deserve wreaths on their grave!
Of course this is a noble idea. Except that wasn't his idea. His idea was to get a job and go to work and make some money. Which is a fine idea! A man going to work at a shitty job just to make ends meet, that's cool. He didn't need to make up bullshit stories to make himself feel better.
Some others: Those people who freak out when they hear the N word - not because it offends them or brings up painful memories, but because they are in a crowd of people and feel like being in the spotlight. They want to show off and hope someone in the crowd notices what an enlightened and progressive human being they are!
There's a lot of these types - the ones who pretend to be into something noble and great, or against something offensive, just because they think it makes them cooler and more awesome. Like the guys who hear about a child molester and are like "Yeah, just give me five minutes alone with that guy..." You don't care. You don't even know if the guy is guilty, but you want to look good and you want to feel tough. Shut up and go to hell.
They also write shitty poetry and pretend it's some deep insight into the human soul. Or they listen to shitty, obscure music - not because they genuinely enjoy it, but because they want to be hip and cool and appear to be into things on a whole new plane of existance.
Unfortunately, there is one type of person who is more annoying than this, and they're the idiots that actually gobble this shit up and believe every word they're hearing.
