Stuff that pisses you off thread

Post by Never_Scurred »

1. Writing classes and writing assignments.

2. Nigerians (I swear, its like a whole country full of Kanye Wests)

3. The insistence that the penalty of death is now an "outdated concept" in gaming. You can't die in Fable 2, for christsakes!

4. People linking to untranslated sites (would it kill you translate the site for us before hand?)

5. Torrent files split into 100+ .rar pieces (why do mf'ers still insist on doing that? Its not 1998 anymore, bitches)

6. The local transit operation (Metro Bus) cutting routes and imposing an 8 pm service cut off in addition to a massive fare hike. And not being able to vote on it. All because they somehow mismanaged $260 million in funds. :evil:

7. High food prices ($13 for a six pack of pork chops? C'mon now. I remember when that shit was $6 for a pack of eight...)

8. Everybody and their goddamn momma using the Autotune voice effect on the radio.

9. Norton Antivirus constantly reminding me to upgrade to their even more useless, $80 version.

10. People who insist on installing firefox on my laptop everytime I let them use it.

11. PG-13 action movies. Nigga please. :roll:

anybody can figure out a download webpage in any language. You don't even have to see characters. If it isn't a DL page, why would you care what it says?

tiny .rar fragments are for Usenet

take the crapware off your lappy

Agreed on autotune. Incredibly ignorant. "It's trickled down to country" means IT ALWAYS SUCKED

People linking to threads about exiting stuff in forums where you need an account to even read. It pisses me off more than Goatse.

Stupid idiots that consider breaking bottles or light bulbs on the street/bicycle paths to be a fun time. Everytime I ride my bike through shiny stuff I wanna push their face into it.

Same goes for people who don't pick up dog droppings. If you're in the woods, go for it, but when your dog takes a dump on main street, WTF?!

Edit: Download a supposed .rar or .zip archive from eMule only to find out that it's some porn .avi with a changed extension. Who friggin' does this?

You are correct, sir

My biggest one lately:

* This John Mccain voting bitch at my work who thinks liberals are all hippie commie terrorists & are out to destroy america. However for whatever reason she assumes that since I work at the same office, I share all her viewpoints, and she insists on forwarding me all these half-truth urban legends and then blabs on about how liberals are out to destroy america.
I do my best to debunk the myths and misconceptions but sometimes I just have to ignore her because otherwise I would go over there and punch her in the face..

Hard to do when i'm at work. Sometimes I wish I could break every ipod and cd player in my department. If I have to hear Love Lockdown one more time......

We have a few people like that at work. They're the same people who'll brag to you about their $150,000 loft(whyyyyy you would pay $$$ for property inside of a builing you don't own is nutty), but were maaaad as hell when Obama won. Look, i'm happy the man won, shit, I voted for him, but don't assume that everyone who did is a uneducated liberal slob who wants a free handout.

People starting a thread that just links to another forum. Like LINK: Discuss. This forum isn't too bad for it, but some other forums (like the GamesTM one) just read like a digest of the internet.

pikeys
I dunno, I've known quite a few gypsies or travellers or whatever you want to call them, and they've all been good people. I can almost begin to understand why people dislike them so much, but it seems to me they're more of a scapegoat for when things go wrong than anything else.

Yup, that one too.

Also, I do understand what the endless .rars were for, but why do we need to do it for torrents in this day and age? Unnecessary shit, like encoding videos in .mkv format with realmedia files inside.

they keep them in split rar files so that others who grabbed them off usenet can help seed

plus when it comes to scene releases people can be pretty anal about original rars

you talking about that norwegian dude, mikehaggar? that dude killed the gamestm forum for me.

and yes, pikeys. i guess it depends on how you come to interact with them. socially, they can be alright. but from a business perspective, they are my least favourite people to deal with. i have had to ban some pikeys from my store, so this aint no scapegoating.

(despite my posts i'm actually very amiable. it just seems that everyone has an opinion about everything, and they think i would like to know what that is.)

wut jonny5 sed

Imagine you dl a lossless recording. You'd be pissed if it had been made from a scratched-up CD. People want there to be authoritative versions of their acquisitions.

I got in big trouble for changing to 800x600 from 640x480 on a lady's PC. She expected me to come fix it. Wasn't happening.

Agreed - Norton is terrible, I had it on this machine for awhile because it was already there, and no matter what I did in the settings it wouldn't shut up about updating. Takes longer to load than for the machine to boot, even.
I have since replaced it with AVG, which you will probably have to pay money for at this point, but it loads almost instantly and does what you tell it to.

Me-personal experience. Most of the Nigerians I know are cocky as hell and think they run shit. Even the females. Hell, even other Africans are annoyed by them.

Lordstar-I dunno.

the swedish kroner and its current worthlesness pisses me off.

gangs piss me off, bandidos, hells angels, original gangsters and all those other brainless fucks who do nothing but vandalise and start fights.

all kinds off radio pisses me off aswell, i hate people yaking away about bullshit for hours on end, especially if they think theyre funny.

people who whine about shit they have the power to change pisses me off something awful too...

other than that, not much :)

If they still have CRT's, it's better just to change their refresh rate up behind their backs... Better for their eyes and they will probably never consciously notice the difference :)

thought of a proper one:

young chavvy scrotey asian kids who listen to shitty R'n'B - ON THEIR MOBILE PHONE - which is around their neck, with the volume as loud as it will go, annoying anyone within 20 yards with the terrible tinny noise. seriously cunts, go do one
