I don't have a problem with people who like Apple stuff. I like Apple stuff and I wish I could afford a Mac laptop so I could cut things on it with FinalCut.
But I have a problem when a people tell me, "You should buy ____" or "You should only buy _____" or "Everybody should have a _____". Like I've gotten lectured about how I should drive a Prius. "It's the right thing to do." That kinda bugs me. And, yes, it definitely depends on who is saying it to me. Strangers, acquaintances, commercials = I totally ignore. Family (some of them) and friends = I will listen to the suggestion. Whenever I see someone all high and mighty talking about their Prius or their Escalade, I just want to tell them both to shove their vehicles up their asses.
I will use myself as an example. I like the Dave Matthews Band, maybe you've heard. But I don't find it necessary to see them 20 times a year, buy all of their merchandise, all of their live CDs, etc. Daveheads bragging about the fact that they've seen him 80 times overloads my circuits.
I don't know if that makes any sense but that's what I think. I also give the cold shoulder (maybe only at first) to something/someone who is wildly popular. Justin Bieber (holy crap, give me a break) fans can be annoying at times but I actually like one of his songs.
And as far as doucheyness goes, I find Bill Gates to be a douche but not Steve Jobs. Maybe because I get so annoyed with Windows at times.
