Things that piss you off way more then they should?

All internet/texting abbreviations. ALL OF THEM.

Laugh tracks.

People who comment in threads simply to tell everyone that they don't care.

People who don't seem to understand that if I'm not talking to you it means I don't want to talk to you, it's not an invitation to keep blabbering to me about whatever comes into your mind.

When people get my order wrong at a restaurant/fast food joint.

Every radio station going to commercial at the exact same time.

People lacking fundamental comprehension in regards to the nature of symbolism and other literary mechanics. Gamers are the absolute worst for this.

"so Shepard all of the sudden cares about ONE HUMAN CHILD COME ON SO DUMB."

No, you fucking moron. The child represents Shepard's stress. It's a symbol of his fear of impotency. That he can't save his people, his planet, and everything he holds dear. The child is a child to symbolize humanity/the galaxy's relative innocence and immaturity in the face of an ancient race beyond mortal comprehension. I mean, Christ, I thought that was so obvious it had a neon sign around it screaming "SYMBOLISM!" and then Bioware went and nailed the point home with a goddamn mallet by showcasing the voices of his dead comrades in those scenes. It's all wrapped up in his fear of failure and his darkest thought: can we win and is it even worth trying?

I've gotten better about it now, though. I just let out a heavy sigh and go about my day at this point, but sometimes a particularly asinine evaluation of the deeper narrative subtext in stories (not just games) can still get my goat.

Using the word veggies instead of vegetables.

Also people who think recycling=being an environmentalist. My sister thinks she's "green" because she recycles and unplugs her television set when she's not using it.

I think she's dumb.

People beckoning me over with their finger. Like the whole "come here" motion.

I think your topic title is trolling.

Things that piss you off way more then they should?

THAN! THAN WHEN COMPARING!

That mistake right there makes me wanna rage. The problem with shitty grammar on the internet is that it's spreading like a disease. Ten years ago, virtually no one made mistakes like these. Ten years from now, I wouldn't be surprised to see this shit in the New York Times.

I'll say kick starters, theoretically they should be a good thing... however people sinking money in dumb / dubious shit, does kinda pisses me of, it's like our society is rotten or something.

1. People who refer to any sort of joke, satire, or humor as "trolling."

1a. People who refer to "being an asshole" as "trolling" as though that automatically makes it funny.

Threads that start with "So"

Star Trek Into Darkness

Willfully unhealthy people, people that don't take responsibility and lack discipline, and especially those that revel in their unhealth, e.g., "man, I ate that whole pizza by myself and now I feel sick lololol that's so funny." The editors of this very website do that frequently, and it makes them very difficult to relate to at times.

Oh, also, people who CANNOT possibly bring themselves to sit down and fully devote their attention to one thing. If you're fidgeting uncomfortably from needing to fuck with your phone or laptop while purportedly watching a film, that doesn't mean you're a multitasker; it means you have attention and focus problems. Do one thing, you'll be ok.

It pisses me off when the washing machine is out of balance and bangs around during the spin cycle. I just get so angry when that happens it's not even right.

When the light switch to the bathroom is outside the bathroom!

When girls begin and /or end all sentences in text with "lol".

Public bathrooms where the Only temperature of water from the sink is warm....

FUCK YOU WARM WATER! I'M ALREADY SWEATING! FOR CHRIST'S SAKE IT'S 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!

But when a guy does it, you're totally fine with it?

• Bad internet
• People

That's really more of a girl thing. I've NEVER seen a dude do that. However, probably 1/4 of the women I've had text conversations are guilty of that.

@epicsteve:

How do you know they're women and not dudes pretending to be women?

I hate babies/really young children. They are so damn annoying. Also the parents/whoever that insist on taking their whiny little brats out in public. I just want to punch you in the face.

FUCK I HATE YOUR POST I HAD NO INTEREST IN IT FUCK YOU

Could be worse. At my college, the only temperature was searing hot. Made it very difficult to wash your hands without burning off at least some flesh.

Not sure if you're saying that I piss you off or that I should mutilate that image in Photochopshop.

- People who don't use their turn signals when turning... or use their turn signals at the very last moment.

- Lag when playing multiplayer games. Seriously, WTF are we still at >100ms ping times?

- Games with lame lame anti-climactic endings.

- Adverts when streaming videos

- When computers decide to randomly not boot up properly.

@ravenlight:

You're my Persona, and I'm using the Sexism ability. (Unfortunately, that screen glitched to say Maragion.)

I've got a better (worse) one: when a renegade program decides that your computer should restart and you don't get any input in it.

-I am extremely annoyed when you're having a conversation with someone close but they are constantly checking their iPhone and not even looking at you while half-absently nodding their head. It's obvious and rude and It makes me want to punch them, seriously.

-I am ready to fight someone who randomly, like really out of nowhere, claps his hands really loud...always at the quietest moments too. Fuck You.

-When products don't work as advertised / When something is broken and there is no clear solution and you're left digging through abstract forums and FAQ's

-Not being able to bring up games when talking to/getting to know someone in fear of being patronized. And when you do meet someone who is into games, you have completely different tastes and kinda don't like each other.

-People who worship a band or anything else that isn't even remotely from their time. Like "omg Led Zeppelin, omg the beatles" when they were born in 1990. Shut the fuck up already you poser. I'm not saying you can't love something from before your time but it's when they shove it in your face that gets me. I'm not gonna go "OMG THE COMMODORE 64 FAVORITE PLATFORM EVER, EVERYTHING AFTER IT SUCKS" if I wasn't even born when that thing came out. So yeah basically Hipsters.

-QTE's

You mean like when Windows Update decides to reboot without warning while you are playing a game and you haven't saved in a while and you don't know when the game last auto saved and once you get back up and running and get the game going again you find you've lost 30 mins of progress? Yeah, that shit is the worst.

Kinda this. Yeah.

I firmly believe that posting in thread to say "I don't care" or "this topic is stupid" or "people should stop talking about this" is an offense that should result in forum suspensions. If you don't have something to contribute to the discussion, don't post.

And yet when they keep their kids trapped in the house and don't let them ever leave, all of a sudden Child Protective Services gets called. You can't win!

People with bad grammar, and people who believe in religion. I shouldn't get upset at either, but... I don't know. I guess my question is "why?" Grammar isn't hard and (traditional) religion requires you to deny so many things known to be true...

Dubstep.

A thing I haven't really seen on this topic yet which makes me absolutely livid is when small kids have a tantrum and yet the parents negotiate with the child to quiet him down.

I remember when I was a child if I behaved like this I wouldn't get the option of staying quiet and getting a toy, I'd be punished by the first adult around! None of this limp wrist parenting...

People who use remote keyless locks on their cars. Especially when it honks when they hit it...

Retarded threads that have no discussion value.

Leaving Koromaru and Aigis in battle?

Close. It was everything. I have no idea what I'm doing. Ever.

That's how you know you're doing it right.

People who call anything or anyone they don't like "hipster". It doesn't even make sense, stop it.

The internet.

Nothing in this world gets me irrationally angry as vanity license plates and kitschy license plate holders do. Spending up to two hours a day in the car I've seen so many people who need dragged out of their cars and beaten for being so stupid or such smug assholes.

-People who can't keep their noses out of their iPhone for two seconds, even when you're talking to them

-Charlie Sheen and people who think Charlie Sheen is the funniest, most awesome 'guy's guy' on the planet (OK, this is more of a pet peeve for 2010 or so, but it still stands)

-Super Bowl commercials/the hype over Super Bowl commercials

-memes

-reality stars making approx 10,000 percent more money than I do

-Taylor Swift- damn her and her catchy, annoying, ubiquitous breakup songs!

People who use 'xD' at the end of every sentence

Absolutely this one.

People who say "troll" or "trolling" and they're not referring to the medieval creature.

Slightly burnt food.
