What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I used to think I really loved the game but quickly learned that, quite frankly, I'm not worthy of playing competitively. And there is no way I'm going go through the kind of effort (values) involved in playing competitively.

So here I am, changing my team over and over trying to end up with something I like. In reality, I don't really know how to play this game at all.

Pokemon's grind is retarded (and this comes from someone that loves the game.) There's a program called PokeSav you can use to hack Pokemon into your save file - so you can create teams on the fly. A lot of people have reservations about the practice, but the more of the grind you see the sooner you'll realize that playing "legit" means spending much more time grinding than actually playing.

I haven't been able to keep up with the 5th gen scene due to college keeping me busy but I did play quite a bit of 4th generation. If you want someone to practice with without being raped mercilessly, I'll be happy to teach you the ropes.

Part of this is kind of Nintendo's fault. They have to keep the game kid-friendly so most of the game's competitive mechanics go unacknowledged and the average player has no real way of finding out about them without going on the Internets.

You do realise that just about any team will work ingame right? It's only really if you play competitively that you need to know all of that stuff. If you just play with friends then you never have to read a thing like that.

The actual competitive community also uses Pokemon Online to simulate battles instead of Wi-Fi due to Wi-Fi being prone to cheaters using hacked pokemon. Wonder Guard Spiritomb being the most annoying one or Slaking hacked to lose the Truant ability.

True, but I do want to play online at least a little bit. Feels like a waste of a really big feature to not do so and show off what kind of teams you build. That's because that used to be a gripe I used to have about the first few generations. In theory, being able to play together and trade and all that stuff should've been neat. But in practice, I didn't know anybody else in my school who played so it ended up being a 1 player game to me all the same.

Riding my ass with your high beams on when I'm doing well over the speed limit and there's a perfectly good and empty lane to my left on which you can pass me if I'm going too slow makes you a complete fucking douchebag.

And yes, when I finally slowed down enough to the point where you were apparently tired of following me, I certainly did get right on your ass and put the brights on for a while. On a perfectly well-lit road with absolutely no visibility problems, there is no reason to have your fucking high beams on. You're a fucking asshole. And I hope you enjoyed having my high beams in your fucking rearview mirror for a while.

Every dude should have a hard copy of a wand available to them.

I hate how dirty my laptop always looks. I knew I shouldn't have bought one with a glossy shell.

Well, I'm glad Easter holiday is over. I've never had so many near-hit instances in a parking lot on any other holiday weekend.

What makes Easter so special traffic-wise? Does a sunny, warm holiday make people think they can just rip through crowded parking lots at 45 MPH, pull random u-turns, drive against arrows and ignore yield signs? Is there some urgent place to be? Most people are just visiting family at best. What's the rush? Its family.

Also, what is it with three or more friends walking side-by-side in a mall or needing to fill an entire passage way to stop and talk? Move your asses, Team Wide Load, people may like to get by you or into places.

lso, what is it with three or more friends walking side-by-side in a mall or needing to fill an entire passage way to stop and talk? Move your asses, Team Wide Load, people may like to get by you or into places.

OMG! People used to always do that in high school, making me late for classes! I would just shove past them after asking them to move, then they'd have the nerve to yell at me, after I have told them to move at least 5 times in a loud clear voice.

I even had some of them attempt to push me down a flight of stairs because of it.

It never fails to amaze me how blind parents can be to the nature of their children.

I just got off the phone after an hour long marathon of a family friend whining to me about how her son does not respect her, that he cusses at her, that he hates her, that he doesn't dress well, that he stills out until 3 in the morning...keep in mind that this guy is the same age as me, 25.

When her other son says that he's just like that because she spoiled the crap out of him. But she denies it, "Oh no! It's because he has a disability! He's bipolar! He has a brain injury! You should be more sympathetic and take care of him for the rest of his life!" Blah blah...

Yes...he had a brain injury. So tragic in fact the family used his settlement money to renovate the house and go on fancy vacations.

I practically grew up with the guy because we're around the same age and I told his mom, "You know what? He's always been kind of like that. He always wanted things his way and he was very controlling of others. And he was always very vain." But she won't take any of it. She is convinced her son is an ass because of his brain injury.

So that's my entry: parents that refuse to admit their kids are not perfect little cherubs.

Well, I am goad the weather is nice again and all, and we are able to have out windows open once again.

But... There are these kids across the street who play crap all damned day log,a nd I gotta listen to it. They also do nothing but swear all day long, and talk about who they had sex with. Most of them aren't even over 15 either! I want to just yell out the window to turn off the fucking crap, because the entire neighborhood doesn't need to listen to it.

They also will sit there and throw trash in the yard, as well as hit stuff with a baseball bat, as well as call little girls fat cunts and shit. The neighborhood used to be a great quiet place until they moved it.

F*cking Imperial system.

I had a huge drama here because some dumbass decided to take an order made in Metric system and ship stuff in Imperial. This ties with my peeve of me not being Jesus and thus not been willing to pay for other people's stupidity.

Just the same way I have to use english to comunicate with them they have to use metric (as requested several times in all requisitions regarding the order) to fulfill the order as it was agreed upon.

Long story short this was the last time I do bussiness with a US supplier for anything that requires mesurements (this isn't the first time something like this happens, but one of many and certainly the worst.) Long live my new European suppliers who adhere to the SI and who helped me solve this freaking mess by making a swift shipment of the materials.
