Always wanted to learn Tai Chi actually, but a good instructor is not easy to find, besides which you really need to be diligent to see results. Someday I will get around to learning it!

It's just like anything else you wish to learn. You have to invest the time. I studied some Karate for a while, but I found Tai Chi to be a little less aggressive, although it can be if needed. It's had a huge impact on my entire life and helped me through many a bad time. If you ever have the opportunity, go for it.

Also people who are rude, especially when they're rude for no reason, but there's never really any good reason. And people who are pretentious.

Karate and Tae Kwon Do instructors raking in the cash convincing parents that it is a good self defence for their kids. I will bet on a crackhead with a screwdriver to win against these useless styles anyday.

You willing to place a bet Caleb?

One thing that angers me: Ignorant people that lacks the empathy to even try and consider other peoples positions, and that ignores to even ponder on what went wrong in certain situations to "evolve" and learn from them.

Hmmm...unruly children in public, trolls, drunk DM's, having to do Resume's, not being able to buy your kids something they need, having your wisdom teeth pulled, and poor grammar.

I second this one! (Kaz is currently sitting in front of a computer with a very swollen cheek, dosed with painkillers and in too much pain to eat, drink, talk, laugh, smile, or swallow... how I hate wisdom teeth)

Others include prejudiced people, people who won't admit they're wrong or look from a situation from another perspective, and people who insult/tell jokes about stutterers. The last one ticks me off especially, luckily I haven't exactly met many people like that.
