Little things that piss you off

by **hightimber** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:17 pm

They happen every day and there's really nothing you can do to stop it or prevent it.

Let's post "Little things that piss you off!" We all bitch and moan about game stuff all the time. Let's try to keep it non-game-related.

I'll start. Why can't people seem to grasp this simple concept?

People who double click on hyperlinks

How about the idiots that are driving behind you, go around you, cut you off, then slam on the brakes and make a turn? When I 'sense' one of these Impatient Ivans I always speed up so they either miss their turn or have to slow WAY down and get behind me (again). :cool:

This drives me nuts, too! Why is that? It doesn't negatively affect me. I don't know why this type of thing irritates me but it does.

The way old people drive...

It seems like they go out of their way to make you miserable on the road...

Note that not all old people drive that way, just the ones who drive erratic piss me off :tard:

Yes, these are lovely to support. There's no way to get multiple windows on the screen at once.

Nothing like having some REALLY LARGE TEXT.

Brett Favre's last name. I don't care how they pronounce it; there are some rules in English and pronouncing the "r" before the "v" in this situation is not one of them. I have a similar problem with the nation of Qatar which we are apparently supposed to pronounce like "gutter." Since the name wasn't originally written in English, there's no excuse for us to have transliterated it into Qatar if we mean Gutter.

Along those same lines, why can't the media agree on one pronunciation for ANY city in the mideast.

Karbala = KAR-bull-ah, Kar-BA-la
Tukrit = Tuh-kreet, Tuh-krit

It's those little things that piss me off.

Good stuff, there.

I really like the ones that talk about people who don't pay attention to when the light finally changes. They finally pull their head out of their ass and get through the intersection but NO ONE ELSE does. :wall:

Hey, just because 200 other people are waiting, why should "I" have to wait. :wall:

This thread is therapeutic for me.

/me vents

How about the people who think it's ok to drag 40 items through the express line at the grocery store?!!??!?

People who insist on writing a check or using a credit card in the cash-only line?

When employees at a store look up, and see you waiting for help but don't acknowledge you in any way.
