Pet Peeves and other things that piss people off

Re: Pet Peeves and other things that piss people off

People who constantly complain about "how much x games suck" on a free to play site.

ex. Kongregate.

You will not believe how much crap the Kong application of FFR took while it was functional.

"It's too hard! FFR sucks!" etc etc ad infinitum.

@reuben: I know what you're talking about- "How many times can you click the goddamn button in a minute?"

A few others that happened today:
21 - When the soft drink dispenser releases ice in a slushy and not cube form
22 - When I'm like 310761032481203784 miles away from the door and someone holds it open for me and awkwardly waits for me to arrive.[/LIST]

Makes you feel like you need to jog to the door now.

- Pens that don't work, then work after scribbling, then fade out slowly while writing, then work for 0.8 seconds, then stop working.
- When you jump after being on a trampoline. (This actually makes me crazy.)
- Uncharged items (360 Remote, Cell phone, iPod etc...)
- People who dislike a comment so they mock it to make themselves feel better.
- Catpcha's that fail 100 times or give you dumb symbols (╒.╥╘♣Γ)

-MEN!

-nails on a chalk board
-When other people take my belongings w/out asking

What do you mean by men? If you are unable to tolerate men, I suggest staying away from the Internet in general.

edit: whoops forgot my pet peeve.
I hate when people make a massive generalisation about different groups/types of people, based solely on personal experience.

Oh, and shit talkers on Xbox Live.

I know, and if you don't jog they give you that "Why the hell are you being so slow?" look.

23. This, I know what you mean, I don't want to open up character map and search for upside-down-delta, subscript x, upside-down-A, lambda.

I hate when people make a massive generalisation about different groups/types of people, based solely on personal experience.

Are you saying you don't mind if they make massive generalizations based on other things like statistical data?

I don't know why, but the malapropism 'alot' pisses me off beyond measure. My year 10 English teacher seemed to think it was an actual word. 'Alot' is not a god damn ****ing word.

Oh, my god. I ****ing HATE that. I know exactly where you're coming from. It's so annoying. The correct term is "a lot" and some people don't seem to realize that. Come on! What, are you 3 or something?

-People who turn up TVs really loudly because they can't hear it. This is what subtitles are for. Don't make the rest of us go deaf as well. >_>

This pisses me off too, which is why I use subtitles as well, mostly because the people or characters on the screen are talking too damn fast, but yeah, I see were you're going with this.

Re: Pet Peeves and other things that piss people off

My TV is loud because only because the shows are at 50% volume and the commercials are at 120%. Another pet peeve, loud commercials.

Re: Pet Peeves and other things that piss people off

1 People who make fun of you for listening to a song that they don't think is "cool".
2 People who listen to Shitstorm by Strapping Young Lad

1. I cannot stand this either. It bugs the **** out of me.

2. Guess what? I'm one of those people. I don't blame you, though.

As long as it's valid and justified. For instance, I would be fine with "Since Asia is where noodles originated from, and it is a cheap, commonly encountered food, we can deduce that most Asians eat noodles." opposed to "supermousie is Asian and he eats noodles, therefore, all Asians eat noodles." or "All Asians eat noodles. It's a fact"

So, basically you just dislike generalizations that have no valid fact behind them, but you don't mind them if there's been logic and reasoning put into it. Makes sense.

Which brings me to this.

-BAD LOGIC. .____.

Ok, I see where you're coming from. That makes sense. As long as I don't say something along the lines "we can deduce that ALL Asians eat noodles." It is almost never ok to use the word "all" in a generalization since the majority does not represent all.

Also, bad logic, yes. Annoys the heck out of me. Especially the classic fallacy "if p implies q, then q implies p" or "if p implies q, then not p implies not q." I also hate explaining to people how they can't use circular reasoning, it just doesn't work.
