Niggly details that get on your nerves/under your skin

[RifkaMarie]

I'm annoyed to death by millions of little things, so for now, I'll pick this -

in graphic novels or manga depicting battles... I really hate it if the hero cuts away from the battle like "yeah! I totally just won after hitting him once!" And they make you fucking read page by page until the badguy finally stands up and stabs him in the back. And he acts all god-damned surprised!

I mean.. didn't they watch ANY 80's slasher movies? You never turn your back on a badguy that dies on the first try! COME ON!

I HATE that.

 

[NoseDigger]

When peoples teeth hit their cutlery whilst eating. When people eat with only a fork. When you answer the phone and it gets handed between 6 people all saying different things, and you attempt to comprehend what they're saying.

There's a lot more. Can't really tell them off of my head, but when they happen, it really bugs me.

People misspelling you're and your. My generation killed the apostrophe.

That we have. That we have.

 

[SilentBobsThoughts]

That Edward Cullen doesn't have any acceptable reason for not wanting to turn Bella into a vampire.

Well to be honest Twilight in general has no acceptable reasons to EXIST. But that's just me

And O.T. Um.. Time and events in a fim involving time machines ect.

My personal pet peeve, is when someone thinks they're a genius/amazing at something, when they're really idiotic/horrible at it. Seriously, people will talk trash in games despite me and my friends stomping them, and my friends will usually let up so they don't quit, but I can't bring myself to do it as well. When I see people like that, it essentially becomes my mission to prove to them just how pathetic and delusional they are about themselves, if I have to personally drill a hole in there head to do it. I'm not sure why, might be from growing up with morons who felt entitled to everything, when in actuality they deserved nothing.

Another more minor one, is when people will ignore the original definition of a word and ultimately change the definition through their ignorance. Ex: Organic changed into not grown with chemicals, and Latin becoming the same as Hispanic.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

When they show or say basic medical information wrong, or when they can't figure out how a military works, I hate watching a movie and seeing them shock someone who is flat-lining.

This. As well as overused terms.

" He's Oscar Mike! We're Oscar Mike! I'm Oscar Mike! HOLY OSCAR MIKE, DANGER CLOSE!"


OSCAAAAAAAAAAAR MIKE!!!

It killed MW2 for me.

Not to mention that about 50% of the people who play that have no idea that Oscar Mike means On the Move, or that Oscar kilo means ok.

HA! Yes! See, when I watched Generation Kill (probably where MW2 got the phrase "Oscar Mike") I thought to myself that it probably meant "On the move". I totally called it. Yay. OK, moving on.

Uh.....When Sam Witwicky went to Robot Heaven.

That bugged me a little.

 

[Ciran]

The line in V for Vendetta; "Not so funny now, are you...funny man?" Had they just left out the "funny man" part, there wouldn't have been a single piece of bad dialogue in this movie.

I'm not entirely sure.But I think you're mixing up Boondock Saints and V for Vendetta.But there has been some time since I saw V.So I might be mistaken.

OT:I dunno.Not a lot,I can tell you that.

Nope, it's V for Vendetta. I mean, maybe it was in Boondock Saints as well, but the scene I'm talking about is when Mr. Creedy grabs Gordon Deitrich at his house after Deitrich makes the episode on his show mocking the High Chancellor.

 

[monstersquad]

Well, I always hate when they got dog breeds wrong or use the wrong kind of dog for a role.

Examples:
Winn-Dixie is supposed to be a mutt, but they used a purebred Picardy Shepherd for the movie.
In the movie Hachi, they used a Shiba Inu puppy in the beginning instead of an Akita.

I'm a dog freak, so stuff like that will drive me insane.

I have to say making the distinction between an Akita and a Shiba Inu puppy is downright esoteric.

Maybe so, but it still annoys me and for the people that know dogs, it's a near impossible mistake to make. There IS a big difference. In any case, I think that if you're doing a movie and are using a specific breed in it, at least get the right breed for the role.

People misspelling you're and your. My generation killed the apostrophe.

I try to use it correctly but so many spell checks online say its wrong

 

[Someperson307]

When someone plays Demon's Souls and gets killed by the first enemy they fight, at which point they say "Nope, too hard". I can understand that when a game is just unfair, though. Also, there's no way you would have survived the nuke in COD 4. That guy would have been vaporized. Still, the scene after the nuke blast is awesome.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

How there's sound in space. It's been touched on before, but that bugs me quite a bit.

 

[Karlaxx]

People that have no grasp of homonyms.

Ex. "He's over their!"

 

[Captainium]

The fact that in almost every movie, videogame and book, there has to be love interest. I really don't get what the obsession is...

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

I hate it when people are extremely dedicated to picking out every single physical impossibility in a movie or video game. It is not real life, that is the entire point.

It's far worse when a movie or a video game go to great and utterly horseshit lengths to explain a magic power. JUST SAY IT'S MAGIC! IT'S OKAY!

and I hate it when some just calls it magic because it's boring and not very detailed in my OPINION

well people are now changing it to sex interests because people think media needs sex which is retarded. A fine example would be twilight.

But when the explanation is so blatatly horseshit and wrong, it's an insult to your intelligence. I think the best way to handle it is simply to not bring it up.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

That Edward Cullen doesn't have any acceptable reason for not wanting to turn Bella into a vampire.

Except for the obvious: nobody in their right mind want a whiney narcisstic ***** like Bella to live forever.

OP: I don't liek the idea of motion controls that much. Like if I wanted to play tenis, I would walk over to the park and play at the tennis court there, which is a lot cheaper than buying a Wii
