I live in Alabama,I can definitely understand the [censored]s on XBL/the internet in general who can't understand that a southern accent doesn't make you a retard.

That's nothing. What about all the Americans who think I'm IRISH. Or those who think I'm Scottish? It happens far too often. I've never even been to Ireland (I've been to Sconny Botland though). That really winds me up. NW England does not produce the same accent to those. It's not even close. People in general aren't too bright.

When you are in the bathroom. The door is locked. Someone comes up, tries the handle. "Hey, this door won't open. Let me knock on the door now." Why is it that people insist on knocking on the door? You just tried the handle and the door is locked. Doesn't common sense come in to play here at some point? Here, let me explain this to you.

1) The door is locked. Someone is in there.

I mean honestly. If the door is locked someone is using the room. Knocking on the door only serves to piss me off. I don't like talking when I'm doing my business. Why do you need the verbal response that, "I'm in here."

You tried the handle now go away.

Be careful I think your computer is posting on this forum.

Unless you were in front of your computer and you wrote this post, in which case nvm.

No, it was me. I was in the bathroom at the jobsite and someone had tried to get in while I was "busy". Then when I got out of the restroom I went back to the mechanical room where my lappy was to post. I hate when peeps do that. Its very annoying.

The door could be stuck and they want to check if anyone's in there before they try a bit harder to open it? :shrug:

Here's one thing that seriously bugs me; people saying "Joan of Arc".

She wasn't from a place called "Arc", and her name wasn't even Joan, it was an approximation of Jeanne. Even if she had used a surname, which she didn't during the course of her life, it wouldn't have been "D'arc", because apostrophes were not used in french during that time, not to mention that surname belonged to her father, and according to her own testimony, it was custom for girls to use the surname of their mother, not their father.

People who say I live in Texel.

Hey people, it's an island, I live on it! :facepalm:
_{yup, the tourist season has started again....}

This. I remember a thread where someone had posted in the wrong board, and like 5 people posted a link to the same board.

I've got another one!

Every single time someone makes a thread about Easter Eggs in games, there will be a horde of people all too eager to mention every single bloody pop culture reference in all of World of Warcraft.

Here's a hint for you; it's not a bleedin' easter egg if anyone with two eyes and half a brain will spot it from a mile away! It's not an easter egg that the zeppelin goblin guy outside of Undercity is called "Hin Denburg", every single person who's ever taken that zeppelin has had that reference thrown in his bloody face!

- When my wife wakes me up to ask me why I'm sleeping

- When the driver behind me is soooo close to my bumper that I can feel him breathing down my neck ( I usually do brake-checks on those idiots and watch 'em swerve )

- When a driver is in such a rush to get around me, only to get back in the same lane in front of me to pull off at the next exit ( I've come close to following those people and slashing their tires when they park )

- When people don't know how to merge with traffic on the Interstate and either come to a complete crawl or actually stop on the ramp ( had that happen a few times, I was ready to murder the driver )

- When driver's don't know what a turn signal is or what it's used for. It's not like it's in the back of the trunk people, or it takes an entire minute to use. It's there for a reason!!!

- When there is a two lane road and motorcycle drivers believe there is a "third lane" made just for them and drive in-between the cars ( ooooh man, I've come close to opening my door just to make them flinch )

I've often told my wife that if looks could kill I would leave a huge path of death and destruction when I run across all the above people that got their drivers license from a Cracker Jack box.

What out in the Netherlands then, cuz we have the right by trafficlaw to do that. Limiting factors are, traffic has to be going less than 40kph, and the motorcyclist can't travel faster than 10kph faster than surrounding traffic.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Personally, I only do it with completely still standing traffic -grindlock.

the thing that annoys me most is when your trying to get to a class on the other side of the campus, yet the idiots infront of you insist on walking in a wide group across the hallway and think that it is necessary to go as slow as possible because they're class is only a short walk down the hall, i just want to grab a book and smack them in the back of the head sometimes, along with people who dont know how to drive.

When I'm going up the escalator and people decide they want to block the way up.

People not using irony correctly. To quote my avatar, 'Srsly?'.

Now let me see....

My ISP download limit is pretty gorram irritating. Especially since it's something like... 5k megabytes total. This is practically nothing when you have two people living in the apartment, and one of them has to periodically download large amounts of data as part of his job.
And the ISP has cleverly hidden any clue as to how to sign up for the next largest download limit.
Thankfully, I'm switching services at the end of the month. I will not miss this company, at all.
In fact I suspect they may be a front for the Mob.
Or Satan. ?_?

Hmmmm. What else?
Oh yes. The lovely customers who come up to me in the bookstore, and ask me to find a book based on two lines of description:

"I'm looking for a book."

"Okay, no problem. Do you know what it's called?"

"No."

"...Okay, do you remember the author's name?"

"No."

"Hmmm. Do you remember what it was about, or what genre it was in?"

"Genre?"

"You know- was it a mystery, a biography, science fiction-"

"....It had a blue cover."

Yes, this has actually happened to me.

Mmmmm. What else?
Does the hobo who periodically urinates on the outside of my apartment count?



:0!
*covers head with hands and flees into the distance*
He's after my bluuuuuuuuuuuue! ;3;

When I see fecal matter on my subway station's stairs.

AGREED, i posted a comment on a youtube video from dragon age the other day, because the graphics on it looked better than on my system (PS3), turns out the video was from the PC version and i got about 15 replys saying that i shouldnt have got a stupid PS3 and should have spent and extra $300 to get something that didnt svck ass. it really pissed me off.

and to add to that, i hate it when people nag at you for making desicions, ITS MY DESICION, I'LL DO WHAT I WANT TO DO, NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!

I read that in the voice if Marge Simpson.

Litterbugs. *must avoid tirade*
People who don't clean up after themselves.
People who consistently find fault with every little thing. Micromanagers. They don't know how to choose a battle.
Having plans ruined, due to other people's lack of planning, resulting in an emergency requiring my prescence to resolve.
The smell of a specific shrimp shack while waiting for the red light to change, in a car with cranky teenagers while having to urinate BADLY.
When I have sorted the laundry, and am in the process of washing it only to find that husband has just thrown his white socks in the basket of dark clothes.
Dollarweed in my lawn.
When I am engaged in discussing a difference of opinion with someone and they resort to yelling. I shut down and refuse to communicate anymore, you can't reason with an angry person.

People with annoying child like anime avatars.



You know who you are!!! :stare:

Traffic in general. Especially when a truck driver almost kills me because he's driving in the middle of a narrow road. Tractors with no mirrors, tractors in general.

People who don't like dogs and feel free to educate me about a dog's toxic pee, poisonous hair, a woman's inability to bear children if she has pets in the house, and my all-time favorite, talk about a "bone" that grows into a dog's brain causing aggressive behavior. Which of those will cause my dog to kill me, I have yet to find out

People who think they're the smartest when they are actually idiots, like my dad.

My cellphone.

TV commercials.

When my cousin and his girlfriend say they'll be coming over, I clean the whole house because she's allergic to cats (i have a cat), make a pot of coffee, everything is ready and then they call to say they won't be coming after all. :banghead:

This, although it depends on the specific avatar - I don't mind the fishy wanderer's current one.

Adding to the console wars on above, I have a friend who gets really annoyed when you mention gaming on a laptop or console, he's like 'NO NO NO YOU SHOULD SPEND ￡1000 ON A GAMING PC INSTEAD, FOR A FEW EXTRA PIXELS'. Especially seeing as he calls himself a 'hardcoe pc gamer', and only has 4 games, 2 of which were gifts from me. Really pisses me off how all he cares about is graphics.

People that use complaining as a conversational topic. People who drop the F bomb excessively. People who think they're cool when they make fun of *insert band name*. I.E. ''OMG, Jonas brothers svck I'm so cool my music taste proves my superiority."

When people edit the uploaded files of their mods with a period or coma (or who knows what else)...with "zero" description as to what they did. A majority of the time I'm left wondering if all they did was bump it to increase the download rating.
