Mer's Pet Peeves
Sep. 17th, 2003 11:06 amThe little things have been getting to me lately. Here's a list of ways to piss me off:
I DETEST PEOPLE WHO:
* Send one-liners to mailing lists
* Send anything to a mailing list that was meant for a single person
* Ask questions that have been answered upteenthousand times in the archives
* Respond to said questions AGAIN, rather than directing aforementioned Idiot to archives
* Are stupid enough to think spammer bots actually READ email telling them that they suck
* Pair Ranma with Urd from Ah Megami-sama!
* Write fanfictions that are not only grammatically incorrect, but also implausible within the storyline/for the characters (exempting humor or satirical/dark fics)
* Don't remember to press ENTER when they format fics
* Keep trying to send attachments or HTML files to TXT-only MLs-- so that the [Message cannot be displayed].
* Type in AzN or Elite capitals all the DAMN time
* Write with a bright font (PINK!) on an impossibly light background (Yellow!, Green!, Aqua!)
* Are Show-offs of any sort-- except maybe hot biker guys that pop wheelies... ;-)~~ (I suppose this includes braggarts)
* Make Mamoru out to be some unfeeling, cold-hearted bastard (unless he's got good reason to be, it's an AU/AR, or takes place in one of the seasons when he actually *is*) so Usagi goes running into the arms of [Random male alternate].
* Post fanfiction that just PLAIN SUCKS-- as in, no beta, no formatting, no spell-check, no NOTHING!
* Don't call or show up when they say they will
* Say "Hey this [tastes/smells] gross, TRY IT!"
* Complain all the time about not having/not being able to do something-- GET UP OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT! (Admittedly, a lot of people complain-- I'm one of them, but not to the point where it's repetitive)
* Do drugs. Any kind. Druggies suck.
* Blow smoke in my face. (Cigarette, cigar, whatever)
* Try to make really difficult things seem easy, quickly (when they aren't, and doubtful ever WILL be)
* Don't explain things thoroughly, and leave you there with your head in your @$$
* Take forever to give you something back/return something they owe you
* Bitch, whine, and rant about everything on the planet-- JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
Hah, I'll probably come up with more later. What pisses YOU off?
