Hell, I sometimes have people call me by my Rp name and such.

In case you didn't guess . . .It's actually Taz.
One of my favorite things ever in the world is meeting a new furry, and, for whatever reason, they eventually ask what my real first name is. "Taz the pika" does seem to blend in seamlessly as a "furry name," doesn't it? ("Tamarsamar" is a Tarutaru-derived version of my real name, or more specifically, the Spanish word "amar" after my first and last initials.)
Though, this does lead into another one of my RL pet peeves: namely, that at least 30% of the non-furry people I meet always seem to think that they're the first person clever enough to make the obvious Looney Tunes reference. *sigh* My parents did give me "Alexander" as my middle name to fall back on if I ended up not liking it, but I never really did mind it all that much at all!
New peeve: I seem to frequently be in company where a lack of religion is practically assumed to be a given. This rarely is ever an issue, until someone (intentionally or not) starts belittling me and my intelligence with the typical "know-it-more-than-thou" diatribe of hipster atheists.
Bonus hurt points, however, when this crap starts coming from someone I previously highly respected and admired (largely for seeming to be a genuinely more knowledgeable person than I am) . . .Last edited by Yellow Mage; 09-30-2011, 10:00 PM.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?
I don't mind if people are changing their names legally or for a purpose. I totally respect that.
Middle names are fine by me too. I have a friend that uses his middle name. Raymond is his first name so I can see why lol.
Nicknames are fine with me too provided it was given to you and people decided to use it.
My peeve came from facebook. This person has a friend list of about 500. moves to a new city and now has a friendlist of like 505 and expects everybody to refer to them by their new name they decided to call themselves. I'm all for people making a fresh start and all but if you're going to do it then do it properly.
I actually had to msg another friend asking if the person in particular was a bit "special" I feel a bit evil using special as a way to describe somebody. But this girl follows x-factor contestants (Aiden and One direction) around the country constantly uploading pics with them next to her. At first I thought it was cool she got to meet people she likes but now it's a case of "FFS woman you're approaching 26 get a life, and a job"
Congrats on the Gf Feba! My fingers crossed for you it all goes well. Except for when I'm typing lol XD
I'm not a religious person, I'm more inclined to spirituality with a bit of science thrown in.
I think religion brings structure and guidance to many. The way things are now I think religion should be encouraged especially within family settings. I think since many people chose not to identify as any religion and just carry on with life, Moral standards and respect have too been on the decline. Especially here in the Uk.
Not that I think Religion should be used as an element of control.
All religions are more or less the same. the same characters stories and themes crop up at some point. like a DC and marvel crossover,
We all make our way to the same destination, It's just we all take different routes getting there.
My younger sister is white and was christian she now has 4 children and is a muslim. She hasn't converted but she has embraced most of their customs. If it wasn't for her I'd still be close to the point of ignorance thinking every muslim with a backpack and ticking watch was about to blow something up.
She told me "There's always somebody at a party that will ruin it for the others" and that's the way I look at it now.
Here in the Uk tensions can run high when it comes to religion.
Stores can no longer have Nativity scenes.
The BBC considering to not use the terms BC and AD
Even our flag is offensive to muslims.
The childrens cartoon Pepa pig, Muslims wanted it cancelled.
Muslims wanting to ban alcohol in the supermarket if the area they all seem to move to.
There's so many more things that gave the muslim community bad press and it's a shame. We as a country that invite them here to live safely should be more respectful to their beliefs, But in saying that it should go both ways.
I've never met a muslim person with the extreme beliefs. Each one I've met or worked with has been pretty down to earth and when it comes down to it just like us they have lives to be getting on with. The little bits I've learn about Islam is it's a beutiful faith but as my sister said it only takes one person to spoil it for the others.
I just wish our Government would take our side for once and tell them no because it's only a few that kick up a fuss over the slightest thing and it's those few or government bow down to. Everyone else it too busy to look for /create problems.
But it's easy to see why the tensions in England escolate like they do.Last edited by Satori; 10-01-2011, 05:21 AM.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?
Well, it appears I have unintentionally created a point of contention.
The usage of the word "hipster" was as an adjective, modifying the noun "atheist." This was so I didn't come off as implying that all atheists thought that way (though I am aware that such implications are why people like Murphie choose not to associate directly with atheism). You could replace the word "hipster" with "jerk" or the profane noun/adjective of your choice and have an effect similar to the intended one.
I hope this clears things up, in spite of the amusing hipster discussion that was started in a surprisingly relevant thread.Originally posted by ArmandoNo one at Square Enix has heard of Occam's Razor.Originally posted by ArmandoNintendo always seems to have a legion of haters at the wings ready to jump in and prop up straw men about hardware and gimmicks and casuals.Originally posted by TaskmageGOD IS MIFFED AT AMERICA
