People who argue about who's lives are better whilst watching a video on youtube which has nothing to do about the meaning of life.

Example:
utuuber69: lol keybaord cat is soooo funny!
cucumber1423: Oh my god, fix up your spelling and grammar.
utuuber69: u must hav like no life at all or sumding hu cares!
cucumber1423: I have a girlfriend but you must spend all day on the computer watching keyboard cat. So my life is better.

EDIT:
Also, people who argue about which console is best! But that's probably because I only have a wii ^^

Find a duplicate. Youtube has tons of identical videos.

People who say "Am I the only one?"

NO! YOU ARE NEVER THE ONLY ONE, NEVER.
That one gets to me as well. That phrase I usually read as "My peer group all think something else and I need some reassurance" though it can equally be used just to evoke responses.

I can usually tolerate bad spelling and grammar as posted above by other people, but sometimes people butcher the English language so much...

Two quotes from an Airsofting forum:

People who go 'meh' or otherwise try to show that they don't care, in some attempt to look 'above' all this debate, when in fact it shows them to be the kind of person who'd call a premium rate TV phone in vote to register a 'don't know'.

If you don't care, why are you even typing? Yes, I care about people not caring enough to care enough to comment.

Tallim, bonus points for even having heard of the League against Tedium (his avatar).

Oh and blanket statements such as :

'All PS3 games are better than the 360 versions'
'All PC games have better controls/graphics than consoles'
'All metal/rap/country/Bulgarian kazoo based jazz is awful noise and should be killed'
'All right wing people are religious gun nuts'
'All left wing people are tree hugging hippies'
'Twilight is the worst book/movie series ever'
'All music by teenagers is awful manufactured pop'

I could go on, but I don't want to add 'All my threads end up as a list thread' to it.

Kill blanket statements, unless it's a thread about bed coverings.

One more then I'll stop or I'll end up taking a full page just on my rantings.

Anyone who sees an error in a thread and decides that's enough evidence to call the previous poster out as subhumanly stupid, because of either a typo, or a small error in the minutae of a game/movie's plot. Not knowing one thing about the homeland of the main hero's nephew doesn't make you an idiot, it just means you spent less time learning backstory than someone else, and turning it personal, imo, means you already lost the argument.

Threads that complain...
nah not realy.
When people say somone else's opinion is wrong.
'My opinoin isn't wrong, you just disagree with it'. That is my motto.

My soul dies a little inside every time I see "FIRST!!11!!" :(

Since it owes its existence to the internet, I absolutely loath auto-tune. It's cute when you auto-tune the news, speeches, and such, but when you use auto-tune as a substitute for your lack of pitch and you auto-tune your ENTIRE song. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Every meme ever.

They're all stupid, and none of them have ever been funny, nor will they ever be.

It really gets me when people act like they've been personally insulted by a decision made by someone else.

The most recent example of this was on this very forum, where someone made a post complaining that because Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will be a console exclusive, and he is a PC gamer, that THQ and Relic had essentially slapped him in the face.

This is not a slap in the face, this is your own sense of entitlement getting out of proportion.

I also dislike gamers that complain about other players of lower skill levels. You were not always the god of the game that you seem to believe you are now, everyone has to learn somehow, and it would be a lot easier if they didn't have you hurling abuse at them.

I also hate Facebook groups that require you to like them and fill in a survey before you can see the supposedly funny image...

Actually I hate the Facebook groups that require you to like them to see the content, even without the survey...

And Facebook groups that try to be humourous with their group names...

Actually, just Facebook groups in general tick me off.

I agree with that one, I hate that music. I hate people being idiots without being funny, seems so pointless to me...

I absolutely despise chatspeak. I hope it dies painfully in a fiery pit. To this day, I remain convinced that anyone who uses it has probably had a lobotomy at some point in their life.
