On rare occasions, it is just an opinion. Personally, I'm amazed when I say something and the response I get is "well that's your opinion."Jaranja said:

Are you speaking of the deletion of Gmod Idiot box episode 9?Redlin5 said:
OT: I also have the "that's your opinion" phrase, especially when I have clearly won the argument and the person has no other point and just use it as a escape.
That is one case of it, yes. The other would be the suspension of NinentoCapriSun's Youtube account due to flagging. I am a fan of LP's, I won't deny that. But LPer's aren't the only cases.Atheist Pope said:
I think a guy named theArchfiend or something also got suspended from Youtube due to a troll abusing the flagging system.
People who constantly say "like" or "um". Like, can't you, um, think of what you're going to say before you, like, say it?
Also, people who get the "your"s wrong. GOD ALMIGHTY that makes my face start to flush out of anger.
And people who constantly try to top others. For instance, there's this girl I know and every time anyone brings up a story, she has to top it.
A conversation we had a while back:
Me:"I had the worst week. I dropped my phone in the toilet, and now I have a cold."
Her: "YEAH WELL MY DAD IS IN THE HOSPITAL. SO MY WEEK SUCKS, TOO."
Must...kiiiiiiilllllll...
The fact that every single male that auditioned for Advanced Theatre for next year made it. So while there are some really amazing girls and some great guys in the class, there's also Joey.
Joey's audition was from Hot Rod, though we were HIGHLY recommended not to do one from a movie or TV show. It was from the scene in the restaurant, where Rod is staring in the distance, explaining to Denise how his dad violently died, in deep detail.
And that's exactly what Joey did. He stared into the distance, and with no emotion, quoted the movie. No talent required. This is ADVANCED Theatre, for the best of the best, and it just made me feel like crap when I learned every guy made it, including me.

I work in a deli, and we have a display case of everything right in front of the counter. Yet people come to the deli and say "I want turkey." Real nice jackass, what kind? We have a display case for a reason. *Customer points to random turkey that I can't see because of the angle of the case* "that one." "Miss, because of the angle of the case I can not properly see what kind you are pointing to." "That one, the Boar's Head/Stop and Shop (Brand names)" "Very nice, you are starting to read a little bit now...go on..." "That one" "FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY READ THE DAMN LABEL!" "That one..."
Oy...
Oy...
I find a lot of rhetoric can drive me up and around the bloody ringroad, such as:
"Now if you want my opinion? Well.."
Me thinking "Gonna hear it anyway"
Plus any reason of hate or dislike without substantial reasoning. I'm not looking for a forty thousand essay on why you hate it so but starting and ending "cuz it sux"....yeah just pass me the axe now!
Good manners in gaming, everyday life and such. Again, not expecting anybody to go out of their way to complement and thank a person to death but a quick thought to say thanks, actually showing some sort of appreciation goes a long way. Opening a door for someone is a stickler for this, you know who they are!
Using free speech as an excuse to lay out assaults and hiding inside of it like some Vault-Tec vault. I'll respect anyone's opinion within reason but the moment you use that as a personal attack, slowly dropping any correlation with the original subject with the passing of time, then I'm liable to verbally rip a spine out and beat you with it.

-People who wear fedoras when they are not wearing suits.
-When people talk shit and then say "it was a joke!" when you call them out on it.
-Kids who walk away from confrontations to "go get [my] knife". Small towns aren't so wholesome anymore, it seems (not that I'm fully convinced they ever were).
-People who say that you have shit taste in music/movies/video games ect. Because "shit taste" is just a way of saying "you like things that I don't like, and don't like things that I do" in such a way that it becomes a very self righteous insult.
-People who say that all opinions are equally valid. No they are not. My opinion on things like Geneva and Hague conventions are more valid than those of generic slut #48's because I've put time into learning about those things. Just like her opinion on man-pleasing is more valid than any I might have (I don't) because she's put time into learning about that (I'm just an angry person I suppose).
-People who fall back on the statement "You always thing you're right!". I don't make an arguement or statement if I don't think I'm right, why would live like that?

Honestly, the Anti-Twilight crowd is much more annoying than the 'Twihards' or whatever they're called these days
Same here with both of you. There's a review site called GameCentral on the UK teletext service http://www.teletext.co.uk/gamecentral/Index.aspx which I used to read through now and again but cannot be bothered as of late because of some narcissistic attitudes that parallel to what you guys put as your pet hates.Swarley said:
Game reviews are too busy concerned with what a game should have to improve it as opposed to reviewing it on it's own merits.
I agree with this, particularly the musical taste.Del-Toro said:
Seriously, if you don't like my or anyone elses' musical taste and our taste doesn't include
the KKK rally song or something like that, quit complaining about.
People who take themselves too seriously. Ignorance is pretty high up there, but only if the person acts like they aren't ignorant when it's obvious that they are.
For instance I have a 360 and he has a PS3. He's always talking about how flawed the 360 is and how the PS3 is so much superior. Now there are a few things about the 360 I don't like but I don't go around constantly gripping about it. The funny thing is that he also owns a 360 (he just got one of the new versions). And woe betide anything that has to do with the Wii.
Ugh, I know what you mean. I have a friend who can be like that sometimes. He's always trying to make himself out to be awesome, and it can really rub me the wrong ways sometimes. He exagerates alot and sometimes lies outright just to make himself seem really cool. And anything that might be possibly associated with him is flawless.Nothing Tra La La said:
