Things that annoy you.

[retyopy]

Just things that annoy you. Little things, big things, orange things, whatever.

When people say that water has no taste. It has taste.

When non gamers assume that gaming is mindless and never justify it, and pull up the old "gaming causes violence," When it's been proven that it doesn't.

Other people. At least in the place I currently live, this town seems to be a black hole for inconsiderate, unlikeable and unfriendly idiots; everywhere else I have lived is fine. I guess when I move out I can be happy to know that everywhere else in England will be far nicer.

Hmm, on a slightly more serious note, something that really annoys me is assumptions. But only of a certain kind. I am quite easy going, but when I disagree with somebody and they automatically assume I believe the opposite of their point, I get pretty annoyed.

Examples: When I say an artsy game is a pretentious pile of crap, and people assume I am automatically a drooling CoD fanboy who can't go 5 minutes without killing somebody in a video game. When I say I disagree with the Tories and people assume I am a card carrying Labour supporter. When I say I don't want to go to a nightclub and people assume I want to stay at home and work.

Probably a strange thing to top a personal annoyance list, but there we go...

I agree with you, that also annoys me.
Lag switches, camping and death of pets.

Not being a dick, but surely that would be a plus for you if it were. Marrying two things you love. (Not a stalker, you just have a great avatar and I tend to agree with your posts so I stop to read them when I see it.)

Although it's a pet peeve of mine when my younger sister uses "gay" as a pejorative. To the point where we get in yelling matches about it.

I also hate hipsterism. "You need to get Google+ or you'll be left behind."

Campers and people who chew very loudly.

Naggers lol jk

OT: People who criticize people for things they can not change. It really pisses me off.

My alarm on my phone. It either isn't loud enough and I sleep in, or the song I picked to wake me up turns out to be the most annoying song you'd want to hear at 7.30 in the morning.

It might be, if 99% of WWE superstars weren't either ugly or weird looking. Truth be told there's only two hot ones.

Plus... I don't watch wrestling for guys grapping one another wearing very little. If I wanted that, I'd watch porn. It's free and it's much more sexy. It's just an annoying double standard that gay guys + sport with men not wearing much = he must be wanking to it, or something similar.

Unfortunately despite the immediate visuals, the wrestling fanbase is often very hyper-masculine morons who tend to be quite homophobic, be it casually or actively.

 

[newwiseman]

people who think water has taste...

stupid people, mouth-breathers, elderly drivers who take five minutes to take a left turn, and people who can't comprehend what the concept of money is and where its value comes from.

 

[Simple Bluff]

The lampshade I use in my parents' house tilts a little so that the light is fully exposed to my eye, and I'm forced to constantly re-allign it. No matter how much I tamper with it, it'll always fall into it's origonal position after a few minutes (the ground is a little sloped). I'm not arsed buying a shade that'll fit better seeing as I don't spend much time at that house anyway.

Traffic, diarrhea, waking up early, yappy dogs, in-your-face people, roommates, roommates' girlfriends, when my foot itches while I'm in uniform wearing boots, being ignored, being judged, being told I'm immature, saying something witty with good timing but nobody understood it or was paying attention, the list goes on...

This so much. Especially in relation to snoring. He can't stop snoring while he's still asleep.

It's not like he's doing it on purpose.

People who don't know what ninja'd means.

Real definition of ninja'd: Someone posted what you were going to post, while you were writing your post

Escapist's definition of ninja'd: Someone posted what you were going to post at any moment.

For personal reasons, it annoys me when people use "gay" or "retarded" to call something/someone stupid. I'm gay and my little brother is Autistic, so it gets to me sometimes. It doesn't infuriate me or anything, but it does lower my opinion of the person saying it.

OH. It drives me crazy when people use the wrong they're/their/there, too/two/to, etc. I'm an English major. I can't help it. -_-

Does... does Fox count as a pet peeve? All of my favorite shows that have ever been canceled were done so by Fox.

 

[TheOmenCorpse]

Decimal points on numbers that aren't base 10

1.6 miles wtf? a mile is 1760 yards, 1.6 miles would be 2816 yards, how do you do that in your head?

0.75 stone? a stone is 14 ounces, 3/4 of a stone is 10.5 ounces wtf.

the Gregorian calender is idiotic
if you had 13 months in a year, almost every one could have exactly 28 days, one would have 29
very easy to remember
28 days happens to be a moon cycle, and exactly 4 weeks (it also happens to be the length of the menstrual cycle)
this would mean that every month would start on the same day, (one year monday, next year tuesday, next year weds, etc).

when people send me links for e-petitions.

when people claim signing e-petitions makes more of a difference than doing something for that cause (donate money, change lifestyle accordingly).

the fact that pre owned games are sold at every gaming store, yet the owners will still claim that illegally downloading games hurts the people who made the game.

when I get a receipt for an item under £5. seriously, who returns a single chocolate bar?

 

[deehadley]

My cold, people who take over the pavement and refuse to share it as you walk past, mopeds, the random song selector on my phone playing the same track at least once a day (I have 3 days worth of music, this doesn't need to happen), when I make grammatical errors and terrible tattoos.

 

[Dranae]

People chewing gum.

Gum chewing is practically the only thing that drives me insane about other people. It doesn't matter how loud you're chewing it, it still annoys me.
