Aesop Poprock posted:Video games shouldn’t have music when you pause them. It’s extremely annoying to pause a game cause someone is calling you or trying to talk to you from another part of your house and then have to fumble for the remote or get up and physically turn the thing down. I don’t need a totally different score during the pause screen Telltale! I’m pausing because I don’t want to pay attention to you at the moment! Actually, every game should have this pause music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRPXRHS4XNQ

Tiggum posted:People who get into a lift and immediately start hammering the "close doors" button. People do this all the time at the train station near my house and I don't understand why. They do it as the people behind them are still walking into the lift, they do it as the doors are already closing, they just seem to do it compulsively. I do this for a lot of things, like the cross walk button etc - not the whole time I'm waiting for whatever the button does to happen, but at least several times. There's no reason why, I don't think it will make it change faster or something dumb like that, I just like pushing buttons.

I've skipped about 1000 posts in here so I don't know if it's been posted but people jumping to fellate corporate twitter accounts for making cheesy pop culture references like https://twitter.com/Whataburger/status/927935441315225600?s=17 It's cringeworthy

Look, I’m really reaching here, but did anybody else ever use Battletoads as a low-rent two player fighting game? I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I played this game with a friend of mine all the time and we eventually decided it was more fun to pick a screen that I’m pretty sure was in the first level and just endlessly duke it out. (You could hurt each other and it was awesome.) It really came down to whoever could get “the stick” first - although I think we had rules about when that was ok and when it wasn’t. The point is I always had to be the yellow frog which I was secretly thrilled about. fake edit: Looked it up after typing this. It was pretty much the very beginning of the first level. 40ish seconds into the following video/the game, you could stay by that platform and fight it out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UHgVR0Ykkcc burial has a new favorite as of 09:57 on Nov 9, 2017 |

I've talked about it before but I need to reiterate: people who try to open your door without knocking/ringing the doorbell and go on to claim that it only bothers me because I'm an american. We have those things here too, why not use them? Who is constantly ready to receive company every waking hour? Not me, so I leave the key in the door which irritates them enough to use the doorbell right there to the side of the door, and then they ask why I did that. Because you keep trying to barge in idiots.

in my brother's never-ending need to be right all the time, he tried to run an extension cord for xmas lights between the two sliding doors on our balcony and broke the lock because the gap created by the cord kept the door from closing fully, instead of running the cord out of the window under the screen where nothing would've been broken. we're not even putting up the lights any time soon. and it's dark out. I showed him how to do it through the window. instead he breaks poo poo trying to prove a point. thanks

It's really not. In Finland it's a city folk vs country folk thing. In cities you don't want to let the syphilitic neighbors raid you stash of drugs and dragon dildos, and in the land-side you want them to come in to feed your cows and put new straw on the floors.

I like to trust people and I hate assholes knocking on my door. If I know you, come on in without knocking. Just holler that you're here. If I don't know you, go away. I don't need my trees trimmed and I don't have the money for new windows. Also, Girl Scout cookies suck. There, I said it. I buy them from my friends kids, but I don't eat them. They suck, suck, suck especially thin mints.

doverhog posted:Why do these other people have a key to your home? Because the people who do it are the landlord/house owner and the cleaning lady the landlord insists I use who comes at random times/days every week despite me asking for a set time/day. also the delivery people try the door first before ringing the doorbell, but that is far from the most annoying thing DHL does.

I made it clear I didn't want/need help keeping a one person apartment clean, but he said it's not optional. It's a ripoff too considering it's 75 euros a month for what amounts to dusting and sweeping the floor and cleaning the already clean toilet for half an hour a week.

It's not a standard apartment, it's one of those in-law suite type things. It's one of those things where I probably could get him to stop if there is german law that says he doesn't have the right to do that, but I don't really want to make a big thing out of it considering just sticking the key in the lock prevents them from coming in when I don't want them to.

It's something you have to live with when you're apathetic about everything, including your personal/legal rights, like I am. e: i guess apathetic is the wrong word because I obviously care about it. Maybe passive aggressive is the better word. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 17:47 on Nov 11, 2017 |

I know there's no way to communicate this sort of thing outside of telepathy, but I am not going just-the-speed-limit to personally annoy you, Person Behind Me When Driving In My Local Neighborhood. Nine times out of ten, I'm going just-the-speed-limit because I know where the goddamn cops like to park and and give people tickets for driving 45 in a 30.

Ok, but you should be going the speed limit because it's the right thing to do and you don't want to accidentally run over some kids or a dog or something.

doverhog posted:Ok, but you should be going the speed limit because it's the right thing to do and you don't want to accidentally run over some kids or a dog or something. You have three excuses for going exactly the speed limit that I will forgive. 1: you're old as hell. 2: you have so many points on your license that 1 more will cause you to lose it and 3: you're driving in a school zone I will not accept any other answer. Cops generally tend to be more suspicious of people going exactly or slightly under the speed limit than people going 5mph above it. The people who won't go over the speed limit have to be the same people who call the police on their neighbors for smoking weed or spend an hour keeping everyone else in line at the supermarket so they can use all their coupons
