Pet Peeves

You have to pay to use public toilets in the UK? How long has that been going on?

I remember the beaches in New England charging a fee so you could make a deposit.

We can amend the pet peeve on people in bike lines to gently meandering down the aforementioned bridge bike lane and having some tit jump out in front of you as a joke and finding it hugely hilarious whilst you wait for the old ticker to calm down.

Laughing on the inside, sir, laughing on the inside

Animated gifs as avatars! Especially when the member is someone like LeBlanc, who bumps five threads in a row. Now, I'm afraid to go in General Discussion, with all those eyes moving. I feel like I'm being watched, and I don't like it!

Pet peeve

Gamers!

The only game I really play is COD but ya I have to agree.... a lot of them are really annoying, especially when they think they're better than everyone else. Especially when they're kids and they think they're better than everyone else.

Although there was one time my friend Joe, his friend and I played COD and there was this gamer who thought he was the shit and talking smack. Well he ended up being on the other team and the three of us ended up owning his sorry little ass during the match. He backed out of the lobby after the match was over.

I have a PS3 but it isn't connected to the internet for the (possibly slightly misanthropic) reason that I play games on it for MY entertainment and no-one else's. The thought of some snotty little wanker 20 years my junior screaming abuse down the headset because I haven't done well enough on Call Of Duty or whatever is really not an appealing one.

"Mute All." The greatest button ever invented in online gaming.

Unfortunately with COD Ghosts, you can't do "select > mute all not in party" and it'll automatically mute everyone else that has a bluetooth. You have to mute every person now. I hope they fix that with a patch...

Ya I'm thinking about going back to Black Ops II. The guns aren't too bad for Ghosts but the spawn points are absolutely horrible! I've all ready lost count on how many times I've spawned in front of someone and instantly died then repeated that at least two or three times before finally being spawned where I was completely isolated. I also hate how I see someone comes around the corner and instantly die. Yet from their POV kill cam it shows he saw me way before I saw them, what a bunch of shit.

People, mostly young girls with mobiles. Seem to be permanently in hand, sit down as one (all dressed identically virtually) and all texting giving each other these knowing looks and reminding me of Robin Williams' Stepford Wives joke.

Folk with mobiles who play on them as they walk...a slow meander that often gets in the way.

'Spides' in local (Northern Ireland) vernacular, 'chavs' in the broader UK one, 'trailer trash' in the States ... you get the idea. But in fairness, thanks are due to the 2 specimens too busy punching the shit out of each other as I passed them yesterday evening to notice £10 fall out of one of their pockets and get carried along the pavement by the breeze to my feet.

They say you should never look a gift horse in the mouth. So I didn't :) .

Drivers who clearly have no interest in going up to the speed limit.

I.e. 30 on a 40 road.

There's a point where being a goody-two-shoes actually starts to cause queues.

thatta man Blunty.

"Spides" tickles...but then chav is an odious word in itself. And unfortunately prevalent people.

As a rule, I go 5 miles over the limit. Always.

I will throw in either The Sun or 'TOWIE' ('reality show'). Seeing the frontpage of the Sun with something like "secrets leaked" with this 'glamour' model on the front. Closer inspection shows not something like nuclear launch codes but plastic surgery details leaked and two 'TOWIE/Glamour models' expressing "outrage" and "shock". Jesus.

Oh and the MTV Movie Awards. James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable et al to vacous airheads and cringeworthy 'bits'.

It's worse if a woman is messing with her phone while driving.... they tend to drive extremely slow because they're not paying attention. My dad has always stated one of the worst things to happen was to give a woman a mobile phone, lol.

My dad has that same issue with drivers and it always drives him batty. Utah drivers are terrible for that.

Especially if it's Candy Crush

I don't play Candy Crush because I hate the policies of the King company. But I do play Words with Friends with some of my Facebook friends and family. I do play Landrule, a free Risk game for Android. And I play a number of other free games on my phone. But I won't make micro transactions to win games for the same reasons I won't subscribe to an MMORPG like WOW or TESO.
