My name is Lyta (like "lee-ta"), but people stumble on these four letters and call me "Lie-ta." It kills me. I also correct them. I don't get the attitude responce, however.TheTygerfire said:My name is Nathan, and I'm really tired of hearing my name being said as "Nathaniel". Then, when I correct the people that say that, I get treated like I'm coping an attitude or being smart. I'm sorry but to me, calling me Nathaniel is the same as calling me Steve. It's not my name, and I'm going to correct you. It doesn't happen often but Jesus it irritates me to no end.

Er, you don't live in Australia, how would you know whether it's their fault or not? Like my good brother-from-another-continent MontyGommo has said, we poor South Pacificans barely get any servers, and I bet many other countries surrounding us and some that don't experience the same. Have you tried playing Call of Duty 4 in New Zealand? No? You don't want to. It's as choppy as a sushi chef with a psychopathic streak, and twice as rage-inducing.drkotaku said:I'm tired of people saying 'its not my fault' when I hound them on an online game for having a ping of 700 when they live in Australia and are connecting to a Uk server!
To be fair if you had the greatest server in the world in Australia you would be screaming when us Brits connect only to cause your smooth fun game into a lag/cheatfest where one person takes 16x the ammo to die because their lagging.Tattaglia said:Er, you don't live in Australia, how would you know whether it's their fault or not?

That's true for some games (ie Mabinogi is for north america only). However if you're living in Australia then surely American servers are closer then the European!?!MontyGommo said:To be fair, a lot of the time we don't have much choice.drkotaku said:I'm tired of people saying 'its not my fault' when I hound them on an online game for having a ping of 700 when they live in Australia and are connecting to a Uk server!
I won't lie, I say that all the time, but usually just to make sure that the 'implication' of what I was saying, gets to the recipient. I.E. You might not want to be doing that when the boss comes in, I'm just saying...Eskay said:"I'm just saying"
Pointless irritating phrase, usually used by arsey self righteous people who are doing far more than just saying something.
