Geeky stuff you hate

[Avatar Roku]

Hey!, how did you know what I looked like?!? No, but seriously its annoying. There are people that go to my school that look like that... And to reinforce the stereotype, most are geeks... my school is about as stereotypical as you can get...

I take it you've got a lot of Wiggas too?

 

[perfectimo]

can i say "you jerks?"

probably not, because i like a fair few of you..

the snobbish eliteism bothers me, even if i an very guilty of it myself

I already did. You even quoted.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Yeah, put me down as not understanding CCGs like Magic, tabletop war games, anime, despite having watched Akira and Ghost in the Shell, both of which are supposed to turn the average Quaker into a slavering pokemon fan. (Um Quaker as in 19th century, not as in 'plays quake').

Having said that, I once played a Dragonball Z game on the SNES, that's probably enough to make a hyper japanese 10 year old boy switch off.

Then beat me with the hypocrisy stick , because I love the Streetfighter movie (not the Van Damme one, heh).

I do love WOW tho, too, so more ammo for you lot.

I like my PCs, but I certainly don't go around talking about RAM and polygon cycles.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

That I know how to help with tech problems, also that I want to talk to fellow geeks/nerd just because we have one thing in common really annoys me.

Short hand being spoken, there's no need, my sister uses it, she's not even a geek

Elitism amongst gamers

carrying on about their modded game, I really don't care how you've made a good game better

L.A.Z.E.R, this isn't a spelling thing as such, but that pisses me right off, L.A.S.E.R is a acronym "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation".......argh!

10^9 is not a billion and 10^12 is not a trillion

Sulphur doesn't have a "f"

Sorry if those last few seem to be aimed at America I'm a science and math student and constantly being told by a few lectures otherwise it does my nut, I'm a proud Englishman

 

[OuroborosChoked]

The jokes that get repeated so often they're no longer amusing... and then they get repeated a billion times more after that.

Monty Python, Portal, and Red Dwarf fans... I'm looking your way.

 

[Imitation Saccharin]

assume I'm a hater simply because I find cosplay to be a sad and depressing affair.

Your dislike of cosplay has LEFT ME IN DESPAIR

It seems ironic that you'd get bothered about the spelling of sulfur, but you can't be bothered to punctuate correctly. Just selectively proud, then?

Seriously, all you English-types who get all bothered that someone else does it differently from you? Get a life. You aren't the world anymore. The empire is gone. It's time to find a new hobby (I mean, other than literally hounding your celebrities to death).

 

[LadyZephyr]

All Alan Moore's comics. Single exception: Watchmen. I'm all for deconstructions in comic form, but... ugh, I find Moore annoying.

Oh, and manga. Jesus. The only manga I ever really enjoyed with Neon Genesis Evangelion, mostly because I adore mindfuckery in media. But in high school, I got really sick of people assuming girl geek = shojo manga lover. Nothing bugs me more that that sparkle-filled crap.

 

[Steeveeo]

Overgeneralizations.

Oh, and the fact that society seems to think that all geeks play WoW and have 20 lvl. 70 characters in all classes with epic flying mounts, lest they not be "true" geeks... I seriously feel like smacking my friend sometimes with how much he tries to "convert" me to WoW-dom.

 

[Thirtysomething]

People that post on forums.

 

[Dommyboy]

Japanese stuff. It is just too creepy for me.

I wouldn't mind it so much if lectures/people weren't telling me I'm spelling it wrong when I'm not. Punctuation really isn't a strong point of mine.....But, yeah I'll admit to being selectively proud. Because the UK culture at the moment seems something I steer very clear of.

Some "celebrities" don't deserve it, and, harsh as is sounds, other really should just die, Amy Winehouse, I'm looking at you o_o

 

[Manbro]

I hate when people use text abbreviations ('lol' or any variations of lol like 'lolcano, 'rofl', 'wtf') in real life.

 

[B-lockdown080]

I hate when first thing in the morning without saying hey one of your "geeky" friends will come over without even saying hey or nothin and begin straight talkin about some game or gaming or that general topic. If the wanna throw thoses things in after talkin for awhile thats fine but when u see someone and automaticly go to "geeking it up" it really pisses me off.

 

[Neosage]

See what I mean..... everyone automatically assume WH players have no lives!

Actually I just hate Warhammer, well, I specifically hate their extortion pricing, and self reinforcing stupid rules that revolve around spending money. I don't think the players have no lives, hell, my little brother plays warhammer and I know he has a life, why should other Warhammer players be any different?

Basically, I hate the game, not the players, well, not all the players, I hate some players, but then again, I hate certain people in every hobby.

I agree...about everything you just said.

 

[Riley_Tahn]

Anime

I hope you're being sarcastic, seeing as your display pic is from an anime cartoon haha

 

[Girlysprite]

As a non english person, when people suddenly start to mix whole english sentences in their speech, while it isn't needed. This often happens in the rpg crowd, using sound bites from popular series or books.

btw...for the larp hater...I larp But there are a lot of misunderstandings about larp folks. I guess larpers are the new DnD'ers when it comes to bad image.

 

[Lukeje]

Esthetically is actually just an alternate spelling for aesthetically, although the latter is usually the one that's used.

Ah! I win this round Lukeje!
*throws smoke bomb and disappears*

It depends; if you're American, then I may let you get away with the American spelling, otherwise...

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I find manga nuts pritty annoying. I had a mate in school who was obsessed with manga, but not the healthy annoying characters and pocket monsters stuff. He was into...the more...adult stuff.

Yer, it turned me off manga for life.
