What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

People who "express" themselves full time in a particular font on forums.

On another forum someone is posting in the smallest font they can and its "expression."

They post everything so fucking tiny.

So I'm going to start posting in yellow in response to them. They're forced to highlight everything I type. I can be annoying, too. Yellow looks awesome on a white background.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Bring dyslexic I physically cannot read whatever was put in that yellow font (orange, pink and green have the same effect too) but I can read the tiny font since I can actually see what each letter and word is supposed to be in that font (FYI if you hand me something printed in Impact or Comic Sans IRL I WILL slap you because to me everything in those fonts just blends together and looks incomprehensible to me).

Basically my pet peeve related to that would be when people bring me hand written client details forms/records at work that aren't written in block capitals and/or are not written in black or red ink. Why? Because nine times out of ten I can't read the client's fucking records, especially since those forms are on yellow paper, and I can't read green or blue writing on that background.

IMPACT USED TO BE MY FAVORITE FONT WHEN I WAS A KID. IMAGINE A DRAGON BALL Z WEB PAGE WITH AN ANIMATED GIF AS A BACKGROUND AND ANIMATED GIFS IN THE FOREGROUND AND SOME KID RAMBLING ON IN IMPACT ABOUT HOW COOL DRAGON BALL Z IS.

Well, when you're on your iPhone or Android, its supremely annoying to have to pinch and swipe to read one person's post when everyone else used the normal font.

That was pretty much my point. Colorizing my font to yellow forces you to make an exception and highlight it just to read it. Not cool.

I plugged your symptoms into WebMD. It's AIDSCancer.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

oh man, are you telling me we could keep forum conversations secret from Firewind, and all we have to do is change our font?


Awesome, this is BASICALLY like kryptonite. Only Firewind isn't Superman.


Also, typing in Comic Sans pisses everyone else off too.

As funny as I'm finding those jokes you do know I can just copy and paste the text right?

Phase 2: Find a way to type in text he doesn't recognize as text.

You could always type it as binary....

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I foresaw that, but I think I have a solution!




(But you know you could just configure your browser to display everything in a font you're comfortable with, right? I used to do that to change everything to black background with white text)

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Just to screw with Firewind - you never see yellow on a monitor.

This is a fact supported by science!

Or I could just zoom in (since the font change in Firefox by default doesn't always work) to make each letter/word more easy to identify (though admittedly that does slow me down when I see say a latter "a" but my brain is still going "hahaha no") or just view the site as text only etc etc.
