Internet habits which annoy you.
« on: April 21, 2012, 11:37:43 pm »

So yeah, there are usually little things you've seen online people do which aren't necessarily done with bad intent, but which still annoy the heck out of you.

For me, it would be JPEGs for pictures that don't need them. Especially low quality ones where a pixel art pic is completely covered in artifacts. I accidentally did this once myself when I didn't really understand the different image types which resulted in this:



rather than a clear cut png pic which barely took up any more space.

Imageshack and photobucket. Use imgur people!

Condescending jerks in general.

Most any sort of hate directed at culture (tv shows, book series, etc) or fans thereof. Not liking something is fine, berating others for liking it is dumb.

Not limited to internet, but disliking something for "seeing it everywhere." I don't care if you see a starbucks on every street corner; I'm not interested in hearing you whine about it.

When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

JPEG for pics that don't need them: Some people just don't know, sadly.

Alot. Your/you're. These two are the worst for me.

I dislike Starbucks because of their prices and pretentious naming schemes for slightly above par coffee. Just give me a small, medium, or large, and not a vente, grande, and whatever the fuck they have as a "small" there.

Internet wise I would guess Lol... despite my using it frequently on the internet when it should actually be IIC (Inside I Chuckled) which is much more appropriate for the way I do things. When I peruse the nets of the world I don't actually laugh often, and more often then not is just a "oh, that amused me... *types lol because that is something everyone understands*" kinda thing...

Digging's a lot like surgery, see -- you grab the sharp thing and then drive the sharp end of the sharp thing in as hard as you can and then stuff goes flying and then stuff falls out and then there's a big hole and you're done. I kinda wish there was more screaming, but rocks don't hurt so I guess it can't be helped.

I think 'Tall' is what they call the smallest coffee.

I have recently discovered that imgur limits you to 255 images unless you subscribe. If you use a lot of images (Let's Plays, for example), you'll quickly hit that limit and have to use substitutes.

Things that annoy me:
Excessive leet-speak
Ponies and bronies
Spambots
Anonymous
Overuse of emotes, more than one every few paragraphs (guilty on occasion)
Several-page-long-derails
Long lists of minor annoyances

Fake edit: Oh god, your/you're. And they're/their/there.

Oh, Sirus, I feel so guilty now. ):

I pepper emoticons like salt in broth through all of my posts, consistent(-ant?) as a master chef.

I haven't noticed :P

A single emote per post (like yours just now) isn't annoying. It's stuff like this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
that drives me up the wall.

Bronyism.

I find it disgusting and degrading to my gender that full-grown men (especially straight ones ('cause I am one, not because of stereotyping)) watch a show intended for LITTLE GIRLS. Seriously, what is wrong with you people. And now,I find that one of my favorite actors (John DeLancie) is now associated with the show. that makes me even more pissed off.

And I am annoyed by people who condemn nonconforming behavior when it lacks any actual practical or ethical downsides.

And I'm annoyed by passive aggressive posts about people being annoyed by previous annoying behavior in the "Internet habits which annoy you" threads.

What about passive aggressive posts about people being annoyed by annoying behavior in the "Internet habits which annoy you thread" that was posted before the offending post was?
