Small things that bother you.

[Steam Colossus]

A friend of mine set up a small blog in which she plans to chronicle a list of thing that "suck". Im here to ask you dear escapists, "What kind of things bother you?"

Heres the site if you feel like contributing: http://suckishlittlethings.tumblr.com/ it doesn't look like much but there it is,

 

[AwkwardTurtle]

That moments when I have to make a left turn. I wait for this single slowly moving car to go past. Then suddenly, they make a right turn onto the street I'm on. That SUCKS.

Hollyoaks. I guess it's not a small thing, it's a popular British TV show. But it's the worst TV show in history so it bothers me a lot.

 

[Dominic Burchnall]

Honestly? The thing which bothers me most is seeing litter lying AROUND the bin, but never in it. It would've taken that person, what, ten extra seconds of their life to hold on to that bottle or wrapping or turn around once they'd finished with it, and put it in the rubbish, but instead, they just drop it on the pavement. Are their lives really that important that they can't spare the time? Have they no sense of basic cleanliness, environmental concern, civic pride? Even when I have places to go, if I see glaringly obvious junk lying around, I'll usually pick it up, then chunter under my breath, counting how many steps it takes me to reach the nearest bin. And people who throw litter out of car windows are even worse.

Petty frustrations rant over.

when my internet slows down. Why do you decide to slow down now, im in the middle of a video/game!

 

[Ghengis John]

Ticks. They're small and I can't bear to look at them. Back you lime diseased devils!

 

[mysecondlife]

when someone I'm eating with chews with mouth open, I just want to punch him in the face.

by then I don't care if it doesn't solve things

Flies or other small flying bugs
Talking or noise as I try to think
Half to low battery
Yellow lights that turn red fast
Construction

 

[staika]

There are these little fruit flies that live in my basement (that's where I live too) and they just buzz around me and they just won't fucking die. Every night if the lights are off and I'm on my phone or ipod it gets worse as they buzz around the screen and then my face then disappear the second I go after one.

Edit: just thought of one. The people who keep making the "where did extra credits go" threads, my god there are so many and they're quite annoying now.

Subtitles in games that are quite clearly wrong. Call of Juarez: The Cartel was an absolutely excellent title for finding grammatical errors in the subtitles. Considering that the subtitles were enabled as default they really should have been better.

Oh, and obvious grammatical errors in books. I read quite a bit, and occasionally I'll stumble across a book or two that have some questionable typing errors that just suggest poor proof-reading and editing. I know my grasp of English is not flawless (likely far from it), though I would expect some books to be well written and well edited. Otherwise, it's really detrimental to the reading experience.

How hard old games are.
I really want to like the games a friend of mine gave me along with his SNES, but they're difficult, and I'm not actually very good at old-school games.

On the subject, it bothers me that when I play an older game on an older system, I mentally think of it as a "retro game"- something that I'm just playing as a little distraction, and not a full experience.

 

[Zarkov]

This may be small, but as I expressed on another thread it really annoys me that there always has to be that person that comes around and "corrects" generalizations and trends.

Like say if I said that males really enjoy keyboards these days and I wanted to talk about why (just as a hypothetical situation); there would be a person that would come around and say "Well, not all guys like keyboards..." except the generalization would be more true like say if I substituted "women" or "guns" or "first person shooters" with keyboards. And I mean these people wouldn't even argue their point as if they were disagreeing; more or less they were clarifying something that they apparently thought no one knew. Of course everyone knows that not males like guitars, and of course only some females(or whatever else demographic you'd like to put in there) like facebook or whatever, but that's not the point and does the discussion no good to point these things out unless there really is a disconnect between what is true and what the generalization or trend is.

A proper way to do this would be for someone to say that "all Christians and religious people are stupid" and that person correct them. Or on a more personal note with the Escapist community: "All Bronies are manchildren that live in their parents basements and play with fake plastic ponies all day will listening to My Little Pony in the background." and that other person would correct them on that because that's extremely far from the truth.

...right bronies? lolololol

People who make unnecessary noise while they eat

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Pedestrians who sprint out onto the street while the orange hand is flashing because "they can still make it". Don't mind me, sitting here, trying to make a left hand turn. Or the 10 cars behind me all waiting to do the same thing. We don't mind being stranded here for another run of lights. You've got places to be. You're a PEDESTRIAN!

 

[enzilewulf]

Missing school like I have been lately. I have been in some sever pain yet I feel lazy for not going.

 

[Switchblade1080]

phone calls and school hours...

 

[GigaHz]

I'm surprised no one has made a dick joke...

Forum, I am disappoint.

that happens to me alot, also: (excuse my bad grammar too)



- People that pull in front of you and slow down.. like this morning.. three empty lanes and the guy pulls over two just to get in front of me. >.>

- People that go exactly two miles per hour slower than the posted speed limit. I shouldn't care really but it bothers me!

- If i'm playing a game and finish a level but miss one small objective it'll eat away at me.

When someone uses 'Win' as an adjective.
Kinda petty, but yeah.
It's not an adjective. And it's certainly not funny.

Midgets. They fucking give me The Fear.
