I want to hear your pet peeves, both gaming-related and non-gaming-related.
Here are some of mine:
Gaming related:
On tv programmes/films, when an actor/actress is playing any gaming console, they button mash, regardless of what they are playing.
I saw this one on scrubs. Turk and JD were both playing an xbox 360 (button mashing I believe). The camera angle changed, showing a solo FPS, which is obviously impossible . . . Common Sense people! Stupid directors!!! 
Non-gaming related:
Any squeezable tube - tooth paste, cheese, puree, germolene, etc : When people squeeze from the middle of the tube. That gets on my nerves. 
Please keep this clean, and try not to offend people, and try to not to turn this in to a grammar/spelling debate. |

Gaming : The "good" characters are flat chested 99% of the time, and the "evil" characters have DD. Not that I don't like the eye candy, I just don't get it.
Clipping. I hate seeing this. I really do. Capes clipping into horses, people clipping into walls, etc etc. It looks so bad.
Non : People who think they are the best thing in the world because they listen to indie music, and then complain when it goes mainstream and how they are so cool because they listened to that person/band before they were big. |

The second one isn't evil, but funny anyway. |

The phrase "pet peeve" really irritates me.
But also this

Stupid directors!!! Shit that like bugs me so much. It's so freaking rare to see any film/TV show that has people just playing games normally, always doing that stupid over-the-top rubbish acting lark.
On the same episode as above though, Turk also carries the Xbox around looking to play it without the power cable/brick nor any other cables, and you can see in a later scene that the light on the 360 itself clearly isn't on. PLUS! one of the controllers is wired, one has a battery pack, and that characters keep switching controllers. Less a gripe about bad gaming in TV, but more just shit continuity. |

Another gaming-related thing from tv shows is that still, in the 21st century, old-school arcade noises are used as sound effects. I seem to remember 8 simple rules doing this for an xbox game. I'm sure many other shows are just as guilty. |

I suppose the prepubescent schoolgirl look is supposed to convey innocence, purity, and all around goodness? I dunno >_> |

One of the rare instances I've seen where someone actually vaguely looks like they're playing a game was in an episode of Veronica Mars. The guy was playing Gears of War, really blatantly what the game was, but all the sound effects are like sci-fi "pew pew" sort of gun shots and spaceships and crap like that. So close... |

Rubbish, on the floor, next to a bin.
People who drive under the speed limit but flash you when you overtake.
People who say 'Bless you' when someone sneezes but are not in any way religious.
Being asked to do something when I've got nothing to do.

In gaming I hate children that play Xbox.
And when people are playing videogames in TV and movies etc. |

I can't think of any gaming related, oddly. But otherwise...
Lots of these will be music/gig/festival/facebook based. I'm not old and grumpy honest..
1. People that push their way to the front of a gig, and then just stand and have a VERY loud conversation in front of you while the band plays.
2. People that air guitar. Not like, take the piss air guitar, but air guitar to songs while actually 'chording' to the song. YOU LOOK LIKE A CUNT.
3. Tall people that stand RIGHT in front of small people at gigs :(
I'm small, and I have the courtesy to check behind me before I settle somewhere. Probably because I know how fucking annoying it is.
4. People that reply to you on facebook by commenting on your post, rather than making a more private, noticeable post on your wall.
5. People that comment on their own statuses. Lame and pretentious.
6.People that comment on your status with off topic stuff. Like I'll say 'Off to see the family' and my boyfriends mum will comment on it saying: 'Are you coming for dinner on sunday?'. You can write on my wall AND PM me for crying out loud!
7. People that become fans (or 'like') anything related to sex on facebook. 'John became a fan of Sex, Sunday Morning Sex, Sex in the Shower, Quickies.' OKAY, you're getting some fanny, Christ.
8. Any level of sexist inequality (is that even a word?) both in gaming and otherwise. Eg, the 'oh, check me out I'm a girl and I play games' attitude, and also shit like 'You can't hit me cos I'm a girl, but I've battered you before and that's fine' kinda shit.
...Reading that back, I sound like a right miserable bastard xD |

I have more err "Pet Peeves" as you call them than half the world put together, I'm not going to list all of them so instead I'm just going to quote what other people say, because I think that too.

Oh screw it, I might as well...(sorry about the double post)
Discrimination: Obvious really
Reverse Discrimination: Just cause you've been discriminated against doesn't mean you are better than me!
Politicians: Money-grabbing, power-hungry b******s (i.e. Bernard Manning)
John Dorian (scrubs): I HATE HIM
Michael McIntyre: Makes stupid jokes..as does that Corden dude.
Seeing "Baby On Board" bumpers: I am not going to drive into the back of your f*****g car anyway!
Facebook, Myspace: Obvious
Cheaters: Obvious
Reality TV: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HOW YOUR LIFE IS S****Y, YOU HAVE A DAMN TV SHOW!
People who think Americans aren't good at sport: they clearly are.
People who talk non-stop about sex
People who are too scared to buy condoms: dammit I'm a virgin! I'm not even scared to buy condoms!
Award shows: Many many reasons...
Video game awards: I'll make my own decision if a game is good thanks.
Kids playing over-age games: I don't mind them playing the games, just have the common decency to BE QUIET!
Complaining about non-English speakers on the internet: when these Anglophones cannot string together one coherent sentence.
People who think they are better than you because they have better grades.
People who forget that EMAILING exists.
People who expect everyone to have "the latest phone": IT'S A DAMN PHONE, NOT MY F*****G GAME BOY!
People who go 'aww' at film kiss or 'whoop' at film sex: 1. Shut up I'm trying to watch the film! 2: Clearly your over-sexed, get the f**k away from me!
I'll think of more as I go along.
P.S. I'm pretty angry, so if an admin would be so kind as to blank my swearing I'll appreciate it.

it makes me want to drive into them harder,
also seeing "BABE on board" and driving next to them and seeing a ugly girl annoys me. |

(Edited but not removed. Didn't want to be put on your list! Beanpotter)Thanks, dude I'm just worrying about guidelines and all.
More things I don't like:
When asked if they have any hobbies someone replies women/men: You are clearly bored, no I'm not buying you an Xbox, but you should.
People who base opinions of other people solely on looks: I get the point, I'm an ugly fuck, now say something clever.
Pathetic jokes: Extraordinarily bad video games jokes.... read the first post.
People who think entire world peace is possible.
People who think they are the best at it in reality just cause they are good at the videogame: Fine, you beat me in a fight in NHL10, now come over here and punch me in the face you trash-talking coward!
People who think music videogames are the best thing invented.
People who think music videogames are the worst thing invented.
People who do that awful spin-around kill in first person shooters: Wow, you can hold a thumbstick down! Want a fucking cookie?
British Newspapers
Really daft tweets: Dear Stephen Fry, I love you, but I don't care if you are tweeting from an iPad or are eating a sandwich.
People who laugh at words meaning parts of the body or bodily functions.
The twilight books: Absolute romantic drivel, you want romance? THERE'S JUDY BLUME!
Behind-the-scenes: I like fiction, I prefer to keep it that way if it is fiction.
Librarians getting angry at me because I put [any religious book(s) here] in the fiction section.
Unnecessary political correctness.
People who ask for more maps for multiplayer FPS: What is so wrong with the current maps that you are bored of them? Outgrown them? Bored? Go play paintball or laser-tag, much more fun and on a map you don't have to pay for. |
