My biggest pet peeve is when I am trying to convince someone I am right and then they go ahead and systematically destroy my arguments piece by piece. It doesn't usually change my mind but it makes clinging to my preexisting set of ideals a lot more uncomfortable, at least for a little while...

I'm annoyed by people who constantly post pics to describe things. I do it occasionally, but some people here seem to think it will make them seem cool or popular.

Your sig is pretty freaking awesoome man. :lol: I like using the :P face.

I don't like feeling like I'm spamming smilies while at the same time feeling like I have to use smilies in order to let people know, beyond doubt, that I am not actually serious about the non-serious things I say.

But my biggest pet peeve is probably the haters. Or actually the people who are swayed into hatin' by the haters.

Also feeling like I can't say or do what I want for fear of being accused of being an attention-seeking girl. Just because I'm a girl.

And now a new added one - being made to feel totally paranoid in a community I thought was based on lulz.

Your HTML is not well formed. Your going to go and quote something and then all of a sudden you have to go through your post and find a /p that's just chilling. It's just annoying. Not really OT specific but happens often here for me. User wise: Different fonts and sizes than the rest of us. CONFORM.

This reminds me of a very good point I forgot about regarding emoticons.

Sometimes you have to use emoticons in order to avoid a moderation when telling a joke. That can get somewhat annoying.

Excessive use of emoticons and hassling other users. Seen some pretty rude people past couple of days well person but eh...aint bothering me so guess its not a pet peeve. The girl threads and random question threads are annoying also. Post your pic thread should be stickied if anything as theres one made like every week.

I want to be able to belittle people if they deserve it, but I can't even do that unless I put in one of those emoticon things that are all the rage these days.

I like OT. It's a great distraction from work.
There are interesting folks, some interesting topics, and a decent amount of lulz.


If you post enough, then you're bound to rub at least a few the wrong way, yet hopefully one or two the right way.

It there's anything I come across in OT that I don't like, I head on over to a different thread.
If I were ambitious, I suppose that I could even create my own.

Do I over-use smilies? Am I just one of the annoying attention seeking girls? Am I one of the people who derails the threads because I reply to certain people who particularly crack me up? Am I not allowed to talk more to the people I've built up relationships via PMs or PSN or whatever? I dunno. *shrugs* Since this is the opportunity to apparently be honest, I really do dislike new users who come in here and start complaining about what people say and how things are. Sorry but there are certain things here that are somewhat established, but nobody is more important here, or has more right than others to be heard or dictate the way things are - especially newcomers. If you don't like it you don't have to join in the community. I has a sad.

1. Mentioning the good ol' days, and the constant regurgitated complaining that is not contructive or helpful. 2. Elitism. 3. Forced "I dont care" attitudes.

I thought you meant something else with the paranoid part. But I see what you are saying...though I had not heard anything about pm's and psn being bad until now. Recent events have brought to light just how much I annoy some people...which is fine. I would rather have things out in the open. Lots of people annoy me as well. Better to have it out in the open than keep up all these false niceties/pretenses. I saw 'screw it'. Have fun with your friends here, try not to be a dick to people (in my case), try to stay within the rules, and ignore people that bother you ...at least that is my new attitude. As soon as this place is no longer fun, I am out. And if I stop being me, that will be the case. Though I will say that I get annoyed with being called out and not really being able to retaliate (if I want to stay afloat here)

I didn't copy and paste my post from the other thread so i'll take the time to post another pet peeve. People who sing badly. When they know you're being annoyed with their horrifying vocals, they crack a huge smile and heighten their vocals adding to the monstrosity. :x

You didn't use an emoticon to show if you were serious or not. So, not sure if serious.

When I'm arguing with someone and they put words in my mouth...which happens often.

When People are losing an argument and cannot make a counterpoint so they change the subject or claim "I win, You lose".

Stuff like that.

LJS9502_basic

It must be hard when almost everyone posting in the thread is arguing with you, and yet they're all wrong, right?

Sarcasm? I have noticed there is a small minority that agree with each other or just don't like specific users and they band together in debate threads against one person. Problem is they invariably aren't debating the subject. So they aren't really making any points. I'd hope lurkers pick up on that.

Why do you hope lurkers pick that up (assuming its true of course)?

A fair amount of users "Assume" things from my posts. I find it annoying, when you claim "I win, You lose" you're essentially saying "I don't know how to counter that, but I don't want to say I'm wrong" so.. Where did I say they were wrong?

Assuming isnt always wrong. Its only wrong when the result is a straw man. Assumptions can be correct.

Here's how to tell if they have no counter...they argue semantics, they change the subject, or at least the original idea present in the argument, they repeat the same thing.

Why are you describing yourself?

Exactly. It happens behind our/their backs. I wouldn't mind bringing it up here but that's exactly what happens when you try to censor everything and make it look like it's all dandy when there are actually some underling issues nobody wants to talk about in fear of getting in trouble.

Oh well.

Personally I dont agree with the "behind my back" claim either. The instances I am talking about were not in secret and the person being discussed had an account at the site the talking was going on. Hardly behind one's back. The ironic is person x whining about this while they know what the ToU states, as if those who arent honest about them here, are doing it out of the will to do it behind their back. Very convenient logic....
