That's quite a list. But these were my favorites:

-customers who disregard my opinions at work because I have a vagina and couldn't possibly know a thing about video games.
I always like to hear what the fairer sex has to say about video games because their opinions usually go beyond "dude it rocked".

-how everything costs money.
Don't you just hate that.

-The holiday season and what it brings (fake/temporary kindness toward humanity, fake/temporary brotherhood, unbelievable loneliness.)
Don't worry you're not the only one who hates all that holliday bullshit. Look at the bright side at least it only happens once a year.

-when I'm standing next to one of my male co-workers and a customer asks him a question that he doesn't know, I respond with the correct answer and the customer looks to my male co-worker for confirmation (or in some instances, doesn't even glance at me and thanks my co-worker for the info)I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but the average gamer is a socially inept, reclusive fish out of water when they (rarely) walk outside. Only in video game stores, comic shops, and conventions do they feel compelled to come out of their shell, where people go from thinking they're shy loners to realizing they're just socially inept jerks. A good example would be one time when I was hanging out in my friend's multimedia class, in a discussion about anime I was cast out like a pariah for saying I didn't like Neon Genesis Evangelion. I was immediately charged with "not understanding it", becuase as every nerd knows if ( ... )

-being legally blind without my glasses/contacts. One of the first life investments I'm going to make is that laser eye surgery.
I feel the same fucking way...about most of your list, but this one pisses my off the most

Oh, and your font is blinding orange...haha
