Darth Drabek Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ha, fauxhawks. Yeah, those don't annoy me so much as make me "LOL" at the trendy dudes (or dudettes) sporting them. 4. People who don't wash their hands after they've been to the toilet... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah yeah. We've got one of those at work. I was in there washing my hands (WITH soap), and the dude just walked straight from the urinal out the door. Not even a cursory splash of hot water! Now I have trouble eating from an open bag of chips in the break room. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 "may evolve"? So far as I've noticed, the habits of particular mods tend to be pretty uniform over time. I don't see how you wouldn't already cross the threshold from potential annoyance into annoyance as soon as those habits were made apparent. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everyone evolves, one way or another. Something simple as a member on a board getting a title as a moderator can alter a person's behaviour. Keywords in capital letters. The pet peeve is about the seemingly arbitrary way the general rules are written/enforced. Rules that seem to change from person to person, with the baggage each and everyone of us carries weighing into the calculation. Something that's a joke to one is apparently HARASSMENT to another, because if someone doesn't have a sense of humour (or doesn't appreciate a different kind of humour), they can ARBITRARILY call the harassment card, even though this supposed kind of harassment is usually combined with the term PERSISTENT and nothing of the sort has been seen on these boards. ONCE is a joke, PERSISTENT is harassment in the real world. But not on these boards, depending on if you're HARD-WORKING or not. Calling someone a NERD on a geek board is sometimes considered trolling, when someone with 10k+ posts who basically uses trolling as a style of debate can apparently do that without repercussions, using the baggage from years past (on a board, far, far away). Not to mention that moderators are supposed to be viewed by us mere members as HARD-WORKING, disregarding the fact that NO MEMBER (as far as I am aware of) has never turned down the offer to become a moderator, not even when they've explicitly stated on these very boards that the title would be turned down by them (called HYPOCRISY). Please also disregard the fact that the same people have been coming here for YEARS just for FUN doing basically the same thing they're doing now (mostly spamming, in these cases) and that the title is completely VOLUNTARY. People who are entering my PERSONAL SPHERE by sending me PM's are getting me banned when I explicitly tell them to GET THE **** OUT of my sphere if they have no reason to be there. Because they are HARD-WORKING and demand RESPECT for that. No matter if the person in question has done NOTHING to earn that RESPECT, unless getting away with thousands of posts that would be deemed SPAM on any other place on the internet is considered respect-worthy. People who were ARTICULATE, INTELLIGENT and INTERESTING as a member become CONDESCENDING, DEROGATORY and plain INSULTING with the right (wrong?) title, and suddenly consider members PM's as plain M's, and who can post them (semi-) openly, but demand that their OWN PM'S remain a capital P for personal. Because they are HARD-WORKING and demand RESPECT and all that ****. People do evolve, some just slower than others. None of this is important though, which is why it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Sand Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 BLASTED SQUIRRELS! Here I was just minding my business beating down some orc scum in Neverwinter Nights 2 when the power goes out. BOOM! 2 hours of gaming lost. Annoyed I go and call the power company and they got a crew out. More than 3 block radius was out of power. The cause was a damn squirrel. Fried and extra crispy but boy he annoyed me.

Musopticon? Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 About the topic, I absolutely loathe people on the mornings who brag about how goddamn drunk they were last night. Gee, I thought you were bloody annoying and obnoxious enough that we draggede you out of the party. Too bad you don't remember a thing. Otherwise you'd be ashamed of how miserable you made the otehr partygoers feel. ****wit. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Good personal hygiene is something that is always important, especially in quarantine, yet he was a "doctor" who would pick his nose and think nothing of it. I go outside just to sneeze.

LoneWolf16 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) I've consumed a vast quantity of an alcoholic beverage. I'm experiencing an odd sense of lightness, my speech is slurring, and I've got a strange desire to make sweet yet animalistic love to the next female I see, which will surely end in a premature climax on my part and a major disappointment for said female. Also, there's a cactus with a bulls eye on it for me to hit at this current moment, I bid you all adieux. No really, fully drunk. I'm gone, completely. It's a wonder that I'm even capable of typing this. Prove I'm not. Go on....prove it. Edit: Go on. Prove it.
