Yeah, this is annoying. Theory is not a glorified guess and there's not even possible to create a valid hypothesis concerning intelligent design.Monkey_Warfare said:
When you want to watch a gameplay video of a game on Youtube and get an impression of how it is and the guy who made it can't stop talking with an annoying voice making poor jokes.
People who say your opinion is wrong.
Worst of all it is to discuss evolution with someone who has never studied it and claims to know more than me who actually has studied it and refuse to give any sources for their claims.
If we're talking really petty annoyances...
Facebook. No, scratch that, Social Networking in general. No, I'm not on fucking Facebook. Stop looking at me like I just said I like eating babies. No, I don't want to read every tiny thought that goes through your vacuous little head. Stop trying to get me to sign up to fucking Twitter. I don't fucking care if Stephen Fry is on there. You know who else is on there? Millions of idiots whose opinions I dont care about.
The word (though I use that term loosely because its a fucking made up thing that doesn't even make grammatical sense) 'Quadrilogy.' No. Just no. I cannot tell you the degree of rage that it drives me into whenever I go into somewhere like HMV, and I'm browsing, and I come across a boxset of four films (such as Die Hard, Frigging Aliens - which started the whole fucking thing - or X-Men) and they have this term Quadrilogy plastered all over it. Its 'Quartet' you fucking morons! Say it. Quartet. See how easy that is to say? How easy ti rolls of the tongue? Stop mangling the langage with your stupid fucking made up terms! That is aimed at the 20th Century Fox marketing department, by the way.
There are many others, but they've been covered, and these are my pettiest. Or should I say, most petty.

I thought the word was tetralogy. And people came up with quadrilogy using the latin instead of the greek. I do agree that it sounds annoying though.The_Waspman said:
I am with you guys, the retards that say that dismiss evolution as just a theory that doesn't have any scientific basis or fact, using unverified sources (if any) to get their point across. Gravity is just a theory as well you know... the theory just matches all the evidence that they've found and tested. I challenge such people to jump off of highrise buildings, they never do it.Yopaz said:

No. Unless you have some sort of uber freaky story that could never possibly have happened to anyone else in the history of existence then you are not the only one. Ever.
Aside from that.
When David Cameron, George Osbourne or Michael Gove open their mouths. David Cameron you are a slimy oily politician and I can think of no more insulting a word. George Osbourne you could not be more out of touch with the common people if you were living on Jupiter, and Michael Gove you are a journalist not an education specialist, you know nothing about the position you have been assigned and since your appointment was based on just being part of the old boy's club at Eton you are the most pertinent example of everything that is wrong with the British political system.
Seriously, Michael Gove is one of the worst things to ever happen to this country, because he's not making large policy decisions that everyone can see and criticise, he's making the tiny decisions no one really knows about, which means that an entire generation of children and probably more will have a teaching experience so substandard that the majority of them could be classified as illiterate.

You do know that the term quadrilogy has been around since 1865? It's hardly a modern innovation. Aliens didn't start it, that's just an urban legend. Also, while the term Quartet is occasionally used for series of books, movies would more correctly be referred to as a 'tetralogy' from the Greek prefix. Since duo- and tri- are Greek prefixes, logically the next term would be tetra-, also Greek, instead of changing to the Latin quart- for some arbitrary reason, especially since Five would be a 'pentalogy' again from the Greek. What reason is there for inserting a Latin word in there unnecessarily?The_Waspman said:
Backseat gaming. If your so good then play the fucking game yourself.
People who can't fucking read.
Being nagged at for whatever game I'm playing. I don't care what you think. If I'm having fun with Viva Pinata then I'm going to keep playing Viva fucking Pinata.
People my age who are complete assholes to me because I don't have everything they do.
Whenever I'm playing League of Legends to get better at a champion, someone on my team has to talk shit to me. Yes, I'm going to do SO much better now that you have stressed me out. Good luck carrying as Twitch!

Y'know, I'm standing by my original argument (because this is the internet where nobody backs down) But only because the term tetralogy sounds infinately better than term quadrilogy. I don't care who is arguing the point (and this isn't against you, btw), I will never find the term quadrilogy to be anything other than an ugly, clumsy, annoying little thing that should be eliminated.
Captcha: I want control. Yes, yes, yes I do.
When someone hits your car and takes off the mirror leaving no note so you have to file a police report, deal with insurance and hopefully get it fixed because I have to fucking move in a few days and start driving to work through the downtown area and it better damn well be WITH my driver's side mirror.
Busy street, no one stopped to leave a note saying they saw what happened. I live in the rich part of town right now (in a cheap place right beside the military base) - no fucking surprise the asshole didn't stop. Obviously it was an SUV too, as the mirror is shattered in the top corner so whatever hit me was a big peice of shit making up for a tiny penis.
So now I have to miss work tomorrow to get it assessed and more time later this week when the part is in, since on Saturday we start moving.
I also have to pay the deductible, of course.

when a genuinely good sci fi series gets cancelled
Or when i get told A levels are too easy, thanks I spent 2 years working my arse off for those, don't say well done or hasn't the education system come a long way since the 50's, no it has to be you education is not worth anything any more
or when i get little red wavy lines under arse
or when despite passing my driving test, all insurance companies decide I need to pay in advance for all the cars I'm apparently going to drive into
or when people criticise perfectly acceptable modern phrases to sound clever or something, I don't care that it's only been brought into use in the last decade or so and before that in meant something different, people understand me so that is what matters.
or when you realize your going to have to call Xbox live customer service and seriously consider starting all your games again and re buying DLC rather than have to go through that particular hell.
or when next doors wireless signal is stronger than your own

Slow walkers.
People who drag their feet when they walk.
People who stand on the wrong side of the escalator.
People who try to rush into the elevator/bus/subway before the people inside have gotten out.
I live in a big city, so pretty much all of my peeves are related to navigating around other people.

These people who comment on every single site about how much music/movies/people sucks these days, and how things were better back in their days. Now, if they were like 80 years old, I'd be fine with it, but these people range from 22 to freaking 14! What the hell? Back in "your days" you were like 6 years old and had just learned how to count to 20.
The little kids who think that they're mature adults now just because they're playing a rated M game and know a few swear words, which they usually reiterate with undue passion. Seriously, you shouldn't even be playing the game and telling me to "suck your d*$%" over and over just makes you look even less mature than it would if you were my age and said it, little bastards.
Little kids(and some adults) who don't seem to understand that yelling into the mic is not going to make it easier to understand them and that practically putting the mic into their mouth so that we can them breathing is not helping either.
When my teammates quit mid-game or at the end of a match just because our team is losing and even more so getting put on the losing team near the end of a match because those guys left the game. Either stay in the whole match or don't play the game at all. The only time you have any form of excuse is if you legitimately have to go do something, get lagged out/power or internet goes out, or if the entire opposing team is using and abusing every cheap trick and tactic in the book.
When the video I'm trying to watch keeps pausing then jumping forward a few seconds later every few seconds, but the audio is working perfectly. It's fine if it does that when I'm listening to music, but it's strait bullshit when I'm actually trying to watch a video.
One that really pisses me off is when I am going to do or say something and then completely forget what it was. I mean come on, I knew what it was two seconds ago why can't I think of it now?!

Here's one, when your alarm clock doesn't actually wake you up. I use my phone's alarm at full volume using the loudest ringtones on there it it still doesn't get me up sometimes.thethird0611 said:

When you have an emergency and make a phone call, and you have to be on the phone with a robot for 3-6 minutes before a human being answers the phone... a human being that has only a vague notion about what his company or whatever is doing. Then they connect you to someone they think can help you, but they can't, so you gotta ring this and this number... all the while I am getting fucking pissed.
