People who miss-spell your name in emails, even though it's written right in front of them on the screen.

As much as envious I am of arboreal mammals' agility and even though climbing the trees was one of best things about my childhood, I'm pretty sure language is older than our downfall.

Sig worthy. As much as I hate all the worthless chatter, I suppose the prose and poetry that continues to sustain my faith in humanity (???) is worth it.

I'm restarting my XP machine at the moment, and I got these choices:

1. Hibernate
2. Shut Down *and install updates
3. Restart

Why in the bloody hell can't I restart WITH UPDATES BEING INSTALLED, God dammit?

Got a tooth problem. Dentist says because its half term they can't see me until May :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock:

A sign outside says "Taking on NHS patients". I think I'd rather not be on NHS for this type of thing. Going for a 09:00 appointment at the emergency dentist. Which is what I think most people are doing. You can't predict a tooth problem in most cases.

This is my all-time annoyance. When sending messages either via SMS, Chat Client, E-mail or voice mail...the person on the other end either, ignores it, ignores it, reads it and doesn't respond or ignores it. FUCK YOU.

People who in movie theaters not only have their cell phones' sound on, they answer them when it rings instead of just turning the sound off while apologizing. :roll:

People who don't consider game music real music.

People who talk about previous historical events which they weren't alive in, and act like they took part in.

Samoans who do not want to go home despite it being 4 am.

Oh Johnie6, that must be really tough...

On a serious note: People ALWAY misspell my real familiy name if I don't spell it letter for letter to them... That's because it's pronounced quite differently than it's spelled. But I got used to it and tell the people: "It's spelled XYZGHAZ, like you pronounce it". It usually takes them off and I think that's funny.

German age-ratings on video game covers. I mean look at this shit here:

And you know, apparently it's still not big enough for us if they add the additional PEGI rating right beside it.

Hell yeah... I've already participated in a shit-ton of conversations like this:

Me: Yesterday I was listening to the symphonic concert of Chris Huelsbeck
Companion: Heh, cool. Who's this?
Me: A German video game music composer
Companion: MEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

This is actually one of the reasons that I import games from overseas.

Another.

OFLC has two different departments for Australia and NZ. NZ's was controlled by Bill Hastings, a gay Canadian activist who has inaccurately approved gay oriented films for the last 11 years.

Of course this all pales in comparison to the Australian OFLC which is a bunch of herpaderp.

1. When idiots think that if they push the "walk" button at the crosswalk over and over again, the light will change faster so they can cross the street. It doesn't matter how many times they hear the click or beep or whatever. They just keep pressing it thinking that the red light will hurry up.

2. I'm sick of the "Wilhelm" voice in movies. It's so overused. Or that other one that screams, "Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!"

3. The turn signals on my car no longer work. I've tried replacing the fuse, but the signals share the same fuse as the backup lights. Once I put my car into reverse, the fuse burns out. Anyhow, I'm forced to hang my hand out the window and signal with my hand. I'm sick of these turdpoles who honk at me when I turn because I wasn't using my turn signals. Well duh, remember Driver's Ed class? I'm not hanging my hand out the window to look cool, stinkydicks!

The amount of commercials in big sports events or live events. You could actually cut down an hour into 30 minutes of actual watchable footage in some cases.

Movie elitists, eh? Have them watch Scott Pilgrim, then laugh at them and mention that Edgar Wright personally requested Nintendo's permission to use music from "The Legend of Zelda" in his movie because he felt the music was a cultural treasure.

Heh, I just gave Twilight as an example of 'really mature and artsy' alternatives to 'these pesky videogames that induce nothing but violence'... but I'm gonna follow your advice :D
