This happens a lot in MMOs. Chiefly in MMOs, in fact. Thing is: I don't try to act sophisticated in a game where people are using axes to kill Murlocs. I come off sounding like a drunken monkey. Some people try too hard, and nit-pick at everything you say. For instance:

WarriorDood: "Attack him! We're gonna die!!!"
DbagMagexx: "Ehem, we are 'going to' die."
WarriorDood: "You son of a *****! He's using his lasers, shield us!"
DbagMagexx: "A ***** is a dog, my friend."
WarriorDood has died.
DbagMagexx: "Serves you right."
DbagMagexx has died.

Hah, that's not normal in real life conversation either, although, it sounds like the person in question was either joking with you, or just really wierd. Gratz to you though, 'standard' typing in MMO's often seems to be made of Leetspeak rather than actual words, not that a little of it isn't okay now and then for timesaving sake.

I can't think of a specific example, but I've found a profound dislike of people who take offence to well...everything, and I've met a few unfortunately. "Hey, that's a nice hat!" "Nice hat? 'Nice' hat?! What's that supposed to mean?!"

Somebody once took offence because I called their mage outfit a "robe".

According to him, a robe is something that only priests or women may wear, and he is neither. He then went on for about 5 sentences about how offended he was that I was being derogatory to the clergy by implying that anyone could wear robes. Just for fun, after he had finished his 70-second long rant I said:

"Sorry, was AFK. Repeat please?"

I had one today. Sadly I was at Wal Mart, the watering hole for white trash and assclowns (funny how you can put asa and any noun together and it will be a suitable insult-assgaf, assfork, assnapkin) and my sister felt the need to touch everything in the store, amazed at the low prices (blah) and one time when she lagged behing me I said "come! bad dog!" and some shopper nearby got mad at me because her dog dies today. Well for one I have never met you before in my life and will probably never see you again and 2ndly I had no prior notion that you even owned a dog let alone it died on you so please mind your own business and stop blabbering to strangers becuase they offended you and had absolutly no way of knowing so. Or wear a big sticker on your back.

You should have either sung a requiem as powerfully as you can, if you've got a good voice. Should make her realise how ridiculous she was being. OR tell her you're going to call the police and that killing animals without special training is actually against the law.

I hate it when people act as if you made a personal, deliberate attack on them that you had thought up days before, waiting for the right moment to strike.

I like trying to type properly.
1, it means you never have to repeat what you said becuz u cudnt udrndsnd wut the prsn sayd
2, it makes you look smarter. Saying "I have a gun, haha" instead of "i haz gun LOL"
3, it's good practice for writing papers. I can write 1,000 words in about 10 minutes.
4, people don't get offended for typing "gonna" instead of "going to". Though I see no problem with "gonna" anyway.

Those people were either idiots being seriously offended about something really insignificant, or twats being smart asses. I can't tell because I've actually met people who have the kind of stupid that makes my brain hurt, and would actually be offended by the phrase "holy cow."

Er, sorry, I should have put quotes around my quote, even though it's a tad modified.

"I don't think he knows about elevenses"

Someone I know was rather indignant after I had said that I didn't like the top they'd picked out; that I'd "offended her religion" which was of some concern to me as she is a strong atheist and I was oppressing her and I could jolly well "Fuck right off" but hey-ho.
Just to say I had actually said I don't think the colour works that well, perhaps something with lighter tones?


Also tea is a drink fit for Gods! When I die and go to Valhalla I will not be drinking mead for there shall be tea! Crumpets, scones and toasted teacakes too! Hooray for numerous exclamation marks!

Why do people always have to raise an issue if you offend them!? What happened to be quiet unless it was aimed directly at you, or if it persists, then slit their throat!? Or do what normal people do and ignore it, go home then sit there and imagine what you would do to them, if that person was tied up!

In my book it's
Pre morning snack ( 4:00 or so)
Breakfast
Maybe more/second breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Afternoon tea
Tea/Supper
Evening snack
Although you can take small refreshments in between meals but not enough to spoil your appetite ( This coming from someone who is rather underweight to say the least)
I will never call tea dinner, in fact I try to use it as little as possible, don't ask why.

Also I seem to have developed an affinity with brackets as of late.

I'm having a wicked "debate" with a friend of mine right now. I started talking to him on MSN for the first time in, like, forever because he's always offline. He manages to point out that wow, I actually type normally- with punctuation, grammar, and spelling all "proper".

It started off as him simply getting weirded out, like many do, at how I'm unlike most other people on the internet. Now he's escalated it to "you sound like a pompous prick" and "your way of typing sucks". For some reason, he's actually getting more and more angry at the fact that I'm saying that I really don't give a rat's ass about who types like what way.

Actually, he's not really getting offended, but he is getting on my nerves. Who cares about the way you or anyone else talks on the internet? Why is his way so much better? This is the only difference between our two ways of talking:
Me: "I have a gun. Bang bang!"
Him: "i have a gun bang bang"

Yeah. His way shows so much more intelligence and emotion than mine does.
