The Pet Peeve Thread

[jurassicplayer]

Pet peeve: People who make whiny, useless threads.

 

[Hop2089]

Vegans that believe that meat is murder, we are humans, and are on top of the food chain and meat is something most of us eat, it's not murder, it's how we survive. It gets worse when they start forcing it on others.

People who leave tires, batteries, and other leftover automotive stuff on the side of the road or throw it away, if they realized how much that stuff is worth they wouldn't toss it plus it's an eyesore. Trust me anyone would stop throwing a toxic dead battery away if they knew they'd get $35-$70 for it at a recycling center.

PETA, a bunch of hypocrites

The really ignorant that offend others especially homophobes and racists, get with the times, it's not acceptable at all.

The constant emote and ASCII usage on 2ch, please make it stop, say something useful or at least funny.

People who constantly want to know if I'm married yet especially my own family, I don't want marriage yet, I want it later in life.

 

[junkerde]

People who try too hard to get top comments on youtube (this guy is better than justin bieber etc. etc.)

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Really unintelligent people, the ones that call others dumb and then proceed to be equally as stupid.

People who use "y" "r" and "u". And people who generally shorten words that don't need to be shortened.

People who don't use "whose, who's", "they're, there, and their", "its, it's", "and, an" right and other general misuse of proper words. Sometimes it happens to me, but only when I'm tired or when I don't proofread what I'm typing.

Skinny girls who insist on dieting 24/7. Disgusting.

People who think /b/ is full of pedophiles, rapists, druggies, nerds, and the base of Anonymous. Sure there are those kinds of people who use /b/, but that's not what it's full of. Oh, and people who assume that because I surf /b/ that I am any or all of the aforementioned type of person.

People who pronounce meme as "me-me".

People who insist that one product is better than the other. (Mostly games/consoles).

EDIT: Thought of one more, people who use text speak while talking "lol y u do that???" And people who talk in CAPS ALL THE TIME.

 

[machomuu]

People use AIM or text speak on the temp or on any forum.

 

[1234turtles]

pet peeve: Can't stand being around alot of people. I feel crowded.
People that call people geeks and nerds.

 

[emigre]

People who claim they need innovation in gaming yet happily make sure the next pokemon is only game they're going buy that year.

Motion controls. There's a fine line between innovation and irritation.

People with horrible music taste i.e. shitty X Factor winners.

Any idiot who believes I know nothing about popular culture as I look nerdy or perhaps rather odd. I remember when I was 14 and I got an mp3 player. I brought it into school and several girls in my class were surprised I listened to music FFS.

Student Socialists.

Irritating Right Wingers.

Football fans who only support successful teams and have no concept of loyalty. These cunts deserve to be shot.

People asking me about my marriage plans. I'm of southern asian heritage and a lot of people of that region tend to think marriage is important to do whilst I'm still young. Fuck off! I'm 21.

Unfriendly shop assistance. I'm buying something does it hurt to show sort of manners.

 

[Terminator02]

senseless hate on things because they are popular (CoD, Apple, mainstream singer of the week, etc.), i'm just talking about when they hate it for no reason, not when they actually make valid points (like CoD being exploited every year, or Apple being too expensive)

when people with legitimate questions just get hated on because they've seen that question 1000 times

people looking down on newcomers (noobs), if you don't let people in then the current community will eventually die (not talking specifically about GBAtemp)

 

[Deleted_171835]

1. People who are blinded by nostalgia and constantly complain about how games were better back in the day when in actuality they weren't that good at all.

2. People who think that everyone on the internet is a pedophile.

3. Those that think they can measure how smart they are by doing an IQ test

4. Hipsters that hate anything mainstream regardless of whether it's good or not.

 

[dlf]

People who insist that one product is better than the other. (Mostly games/consoles).

Or those that won't play anything that isn't "current gen graphics" or if it is on a current system but was released years ago (Genji, etc) they won't play it.

- Those that spend an absurd amount of money on (games) but only play like 1 or 2 and "forget" about the rest.
- Same vain as above: those that RUSH through the games in like a day. TAKE YOUR DARNED TIME.
- Very much like the above: Rush through it than sell it or keep it and never play it again.
- WHINY gamers (this) generation: "OMG THIS GAME ISN'T EXCLUSIVE TO MY CONSOLE, I'M GOING TO SELL IT." - For example FF 13, you paid 600+ DOLLARS for the PS3, and your going to throw away a BLU-RAY/DVD player, PS1, (PS2 for the models that apply) & PS3 games, and what ever. SIMPLY because the 360 gets the game as well.

- Those that won't even TRY older things (mostly video games) simply because "OMG these grafixs suck . . . ." entertainment value?

People who say "I could care less." That is such a stupid thing to say. Anybody with half a brain should know that, if you could care less, that means you do care. You could devote your entire being to caring about something.

 

[someonewhodied]

When you can't find the droids you are looking for.

 

[Nebz]

When my family tries to fill the small sink we have with as many dishes as possible.

People who claims to hate piracy but has a shit load of pirated content/games/roms, etc.

YES! That pisses me off so much.

What's wrong with that? I hated piracy when I was a pirate.

Thank you! I thought I was the only person who understood logic!

I totally agree, but, now that I think about it, I only know of 2 people IRL that say that.


When people try to pull unwanted and harmful pranks.

It makes you a hypocrite...but I guess I should say it in a different way, because I see where you are coming from, like a smoker who hates smoking.

People who's constantly telling other people they have no moral because they pirate, but they have a shit load of pirated content/games/roms, etc.

And what do you mean "was"? Didn't you just pirated xenoblade a week ago?

Before I was, and now I am not, that's all I mean by it.

1) Fruit. Man, I have always hated fruit. I hate it's texture, I hate it's taste, I hate the sound it makes when people bite into it (or even worse, chewing it, ugh).

2) Football. Because 22 sweaty men piling into each other over a wrinkly brown ball in an attempt to penetrate each other's end zone is manly, and I'm just queer for not wanting to watch it.

3) People not reassessing their life values on at least a weekly basis using the scientific method. It's the reason people are willing to assume that whatever holy text they were raised with is true, and that the monetary system (a system based on scarcity-value which predates the Industrial revolution and has no business existing in a time when technology produces abundance and replaces people at menial jobs) is still alive and kicking.

4) Assumptions in general. You're human. Anyone who speaks English or whatever other human language is human. That means that even though you're intelligent, you're finite. You can't know everything about the universe, so why arrogantly assume that anything is true? (This doesn't cover theoretical or mathematical assumptions, which are tools of academia and science.)

5) Jeans. I hate, HATE how they feel on my skin, and I can't stand seeing them on everyone everywhere! Maybe it's just Indiana, but I even see women wearing jeans all the time. It pisses me off when I see others wear them because it makes me imagine how it feels on my skin. Oh, and I think jeans look fuck, fuck, FUCK FUCK ugly on women. God, the only thing more ugly than a woman wearing jeans is a woman who wears jeans and acts like a man.

6) Cultural monogamy. Once long ago, the greed of the Catholic church prompted the pope to write a new law into existence. You see, if a given family had more heirs, the family fortune would be passed down to the next generation. If a family had less heirs, there was more of a probability of the fortune going to the church. And lo, monogamy was born! One man, one woman! It makes me sick to see people still assume this to be true, as though it were anthropologically correct. Protip: It isn't.

7) Snipers in all FPSs, even if they're multiplayer or designed around balance (TF2). God, why. Why do we continue to need the capability to instantly kill someone from far away without them being able to do anything about it? Hm? Even if you aren't caught by surprise, well, it's time to grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye. No matter how good you are, no matter what you did up until that point, even if you're engaged with something else, you deserve to die because some retard wants to push your reset button. What the fuck, game designers? What is wrong with you that you have to assume that because it's an FPS, it requires a Sniper?

8) Society's current structure. So, let me get this straight. In a constantly changing world full of technology, you're going to give the power exclusively to old folks who hate the new world because it meant that they had to learn something new? The people who understand this world, the way it is, the way it works, they get absolutely no power at all? Now, granted, I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers could have never envisioned a world where everything changes so quickly, and instead recognized the wisdom of elder people. That's fine and dandy, but it's a whole new ballgame, folks, and we need to retire the old runners, especially if they can't adapt or understand anything about a changing world.

9) Eureka Seven. Extra! Extra! Kid whines to green haired brick wall! Imagine your newspaper running that for about 27 weeks straight. There's Eureka Seven in a nutshell.
