The only reason I got to do Portal 2 co-op is because we bought the game at the same time and went through it completely blind together. If you can find someone who has never done it it's tons of fun figuring that stuff out together.

I had a friend who did similar, but it was with anime. IE, she'd be through a season then bug me nonstop till I agreed to watch an episode. By episode 2, she'd be spoiling poo poo for me, or squealing words in Japanese (cause she tooootally learned Japanese from DeathNote!) or loudly reciting the scripts as the episode played. SEE Cowslips this is Kira, with is Japanese for killer! But it also means light, like to light up the world? So everyone calls him KIRA because he's KILLING people! It's like some people can't let you enjoy something at your own place. I got a friend hooked on Game of Thrones, and she was on season 1 when I was on 5, but I didn't spoil poo poo for her!

I swear to loving god, people who hover around the bathroom waiting for you to get out of it or start pacing around the bathroom making it clearly obvious that they're waiting to get in the bathroom, ESPECIALLY WHEN there's a free bathroom elsewhere. This poo poo makes me so mad its not even funny, especially when I'm trying to take a colossal loving dump and then somebody is walking around pacing for you to get out of the bathroom, like gently caress off?

Our bathroom doors at work even have the red/occupied thing when it's locked, but there's always a guy once in a while that just tries to barge in. And if they're an even bigger dick they ask "anyone in there?". Yes dumbass it's a single-occupancy stall that locks from the inside. I didn't flush myself down the toilet.

Or the opposite, when they know you're ahead of them in a show and keep asking you things that are covered in future episodes/seasons. Like alright, turn off the TV and I'll just tell you everything if that's what you really want. I'm sure it'll be much more entertaining than actually enjoying the story as it unfolds!

I see this a lot in TVIV, but I don't know if it's a forums-specific thing or how common it is in other online discussion sites or IRL... In the past couple of years, I've been seeing people discussing TV/movies say, "[character]'s actor" instead of "the actor who plays [character]," and it's so awkward and jarring. Like, quote:Superman's actor is really good. But (peeve part 2) I've been seeing it when discussing shows with a small cast or a well-known actor in the role, which is even lamer. If you're watching the X-Files, say, and you're enough of a fan to discuss it online with other fans, everybody should know who David Duchovny is, so nobody should be using that dumb "Mulder's actor" construction.

Rabbit Hill posted:I see this a lot in TVIV, but I don't know if it's a forums-specific thing or how common it is in other online discussion sites or IRL... It might be a psychological thing for if someones really invested in the show. It's not specifically an intentional thing, but I tend to think in terms of the character's actor or voice, as opposed to separating the actor out, especially if I'm invested, or if the actor has a name that I've just forgotten. Like with Steven Universe, I won't remember many of the cast members names due to not following music all that much, I only know Estelle because she's one of the mains, I literally hadn't heard of her before the show. Then I kinda liked her music after the fact. On the one hand my internal monologue is like "Zack Callison/Jennifer Paz/Estelle/Patti Lupone did a really good job with that scene" but on the other it's "Wow, Blue Diamond's VO sounds very like something in Dark Souls". Not being intentionally childish, it's just how I think and therefore how I type. I guess, if the series is reeling me in enough, I think of a voice as belonging to the character as much as the actor, hence writing as if the character is the possessor. When hearing the characters it's not "Patti Lupone is doing Yellow Diamond" that springs to mind but "Yellow Diamond's voice is provided by Patti Lupone" BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 21:58 on Apr 24, 2017 |

I'm in a course right now and there is some chick here who manages to talk in such a weird way that it pisses me off. I can't really explain it very good, but she manages to not hit any normal tonal pitch of sentences that you expect. So for example if you ask a question your pitch slowly goes up to the end of the sentence, right? With her it just goes up and down like a loving rollercoaster. And I got to hear her for two more weeks.

I don't understand littering to begin with but it's even worse to me when someone's in their car, their own little place that's usually full of their own stuff, and they toss their trash out the window. like get a small bag or something for your garbage??? it takes more effort to toss it out the window (usually while driving, too) than to just leave it in your loving car I hate littering and I also hate people who throw trash in the recycle bins

Even though I have a touchscreen laptop now I still get irritated by this, because the people who do this always seem to have the greasiest fingers imaginable. Also it's rude to start scrolling around and clicking on things on my computer without asking. My boss does it a lot and I always offer him my surface pen to avoid this but he always just twirls it around in one hand and uses his fingers on the screen instead. He's the boss though so I have to just deal with it and wipe it down after the meeting's over.

In airports: People who hop on those moving walkways and stop; they're meant to help people get where they're going faster, you're not supposed to ride them. Likewise, people who get to the top of the queue at the gate and don't get their boarding pass or passport out until they're actually at the front of the line, even after every single PA announcement for the past 15 minutes has been "please have your boarding pass and photographic ID ready for inspection". It's not difficult.

They're like escalators - depending on what country you're in, one side is for standers, one is for walkers. Standing on them is fine (albeit very lazy) as long as you aren't in the way.

I made some minestrone soup today and offered my brother some to try, which he did, and he liked it. he bought me a flower pot from his work and I gave him cash for it; after he ate the soup he asked if he could have more and gave me a dollar back. he ate like more than half of the soup and it was supposed to last me 2-3 days, instead there's a single small bowl's worth left. what the gently caress dude also he never fills up the water jug but takes a quart at a time out of it ('I don't like straight tap water' he says even tho it's straight tap water from an hour ago) instead of drinking out of a glass like a normal person

When the fresh pretzels at the store are inexplicably made with no salt (or have like 2 grains on the whole thing). It's fine to offer saltless ones for the weirdos but making the entire batch that way is annoying. The other extreme is bad too where they are more white than brown because of the insane amount of salt they put on, but at least in that case you can scrape some off. This is one of my more petty pet peeves but hey, I like pretzels and being able to get fresh ones at the store is one of the top perks of living in Germany and it ruins the shopping trip when I can't get any.
