People who use Twitter to just announce their location in the world, as if anybody cares and wants to track them as they go about their daily errands. Twitter: "At the Starbucks at Central and Thomas." HOLY CRAP, WHO CARES? So I'm bound to this one friend of mine on both Twitter and Google Buzz, and that's all he ever tweets about. So inane.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I've had too many close calls while driving to get upset behind the wheel, especially over little things. On one of the highway routes I take there is this horrible bend that is 45mph but people are always going 80 nearly causing accidents regularly. The crazy part is that I heard that the guy who designed that exact area died in an accident there.
Hahah noooooo, The scoop is to serve themselves, then they use their hands to eat!
Which brings me to my next pet peave: hand sanitizer, I can't help but think that it's unhealthy and kills off the important bacteria that actually helps fight off germs.

#1: People who don't know how to use their god damn signals/indicators. I mean for fucks sake is it really all that hard to move a post a quarter inch?
#2: Inside lane hogs. Anyone from Ontario should be familiar with these pricks who like to get in the inside lane (Left in our case) and just sit there, driving slowly and blocking people who want to pass. The are intolerable jackasses who won't move for anyone and are completely uncourteous individuals.
#3: Foursquare users who link there accounts to Twitter and update 50 times an hour. No one gives a shit
#4: Being automatically accused of being an evil racist hatemonger because I'm a white male.
#5: Canadians who don't know that the Tories and Liberals are not directly mappable to the Democrats and Republicans. The kind of people who decide their political views based on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Not that those aren't great shows, but their views don't apply here. This is really annoying at the moment as we have an election going on.
#6: Hipsters/Douchebags. You see these all the time when you go to downtown Toronto. Annoys the living piss out of me.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
That actually reminds me to post the "bizarro version" of this, which I've encountered more times than I'd care to remember: being accused of "white guilt" or "self-hatred" or "class warfare" the second you advocate for anybody less-privileged than yourself.njiska wrote:Being automatically accused of being an evil racist hatemonger because I'm a white male.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Of course excessive ''cleanness'' is not good. On a positive note many hand sanitizers are based on regular alcohol ( ethanol ), so its not much worse than rubbing your hand with vodka. What is nasty though is all those anti-bacterial soap and items that use antibiotic-like chemicals.CMoon wrote:Well hopefully you aren't eating the hand sanitizer.chempop wrote: Which brings me to my next pet peave: hand sanitizer, I can't help but think that it's unhealthy and kills off the important bacteria that actually helps fight off germs.
Triclosan is the best example: commonly found in soaps and toothpaste (colgate total) but also in some clothes and even toys. This product should be avoided. Unlike alcohol it acts a bit like an antibiotic and can affect natural micro-flora diversity and balance. It is know to accumulate and persist in tissues, it contaminates the environment and the photo-degradation of triclosan is know to produce a variety of dioxin byproducts, some of which are know carcinogen.

Order a Pepsi in some restaurant get Coke instead
Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Should be happy because Coke is better... Stop signs and turn signals bother me, because nobody seems to know how to use them. The four-way stops are the worst, you always get the douchebag who can't wait their turn, and just plow through.. I hate them.Zeron wrote:Order a Pepsi in some restaurant get Coke instead

Basically, people who can't spell properly past the sixth grade. Typos are fine, but when an English-speaking native fails basic grammar and spelling in ways that could not be mere typo errors, that's irritating.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Yes and apparently it's wrong to point out that dressing like a slut makes you more attractive to a person looking to rape somebody because that would challenge a woman's right to sexually express herself.

People that use the word fanboy (or even worse fanboi) while failing miserably at some terribly important internet debate really piss me off.

Using "overproduced" to criticize videogames or music or anything. Why not just write "It sucks because it's too well made. I like shit."?

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
But something -can- be overproduced. So much bloom in a next gen game that everything is a big blurry mess. So much reverb in a song that the subtlety of the vocal performance is completely ruined. When people talk about overproduction, they aren't talking about it being too good, they are talking about gimmicky stuff that undermines the actual substance of the piece.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Now, do they make you eww because the graphics look too good, or because they play like shit? Making graphics worse wouldn't make them play any better. The problem isn't parts that are too good, it's parts that aren't good enough.EinhanderZwei wrote:I disagree.

Now, in that context it's perfectly legit criticism. But I hear it in "too good" context way more often. It has became similar to politicians using "elitist" to put down opponents who know more than they do.Blackbird wrote:But something -can- be overproduced.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I believe that no game or any other work of art can be too good. Some parts will still suck...
And each time I've heard the term 'overproduced', the speaker was referring to the graphics solely
