    On the talk of forums, I have a few:
    Gifs being used in threads not for it.
    Pictures being posted.
    Top claims.
    And people posting their own name in things.

    Not directed at mibba, just things I've noticed on others.

    Not ^ related in any way:
    Chewing or slurping or talking with your mouth full.
    Plates or chairs that are off balance.
    Anything that isn't straight or aligned the way it should be.
    The words "nap" and "snack."
    When people move shit around in my flat.
    People picking up my guitar.
    Those little red number things that pop up on your iPhone things. I need them to all be away.
    I have more, but...

    When people smack their lips or try to tell me a story while they're eating.

    Chewing with your mouth open really irritates me. My kids do it on occasion and it makes me want to throw balled up napkins at them until they close their mouths.

    Being helped in the kitchen really bugs me for some reason.. I'm fine with somebody helping do the dishes, but cooking is out of the question. Either do the whole meal yourself, or stop trying to help me!.. now i sound ungrateful..

    People who don't use conditioner.

    Text speak.

    I hate it when someone insists on asking what's going to happen in a movie before they've sat down to watch it themselves or they ask me questions about the movie we're watching when they know i've only seen the same thing they have.. I'm not talking about a simple 'what does that mean?', I'm talking about the whole 'but why is he doing that when he was told he shouldn't'? sort of thing... I DON'T KNOW! I HAVEN'T SEEN IT EITHER!

    When my roommate talks on the phone in our room when I'm trying to study/it's otherwise quiet and doesn't bother to excuse herself and move somewhere else when it becomes evident the call's going to be a lengthy one.

    When people don't clean up after themselves in dining halls.

    When people are like "Have you seen -insert Youtube video name here-? Omigod, it's HILARIOUS. You have to stop EVERYTHING you're doing and watch it RIGHT NOW." Twitch

    when people get obnoxiously defensive whenever you don't agree with them.

    When people say things that you weren't doing but just merely stating a point about yourself.

    This, this, this! Or 'sweetie' or 'hun' or my particular favorite 'child' Threat Of course it's even better when the one who says this is my age or even younger.

    People who are too obnoxious about the small things that bother them. Shifty
    I had a friend in high school who was really over the top about all her little quirks. Like, if you folded a piece of paper wrong or didn't lay something straight on a desk she'd freak out and try to fix it, and if you resisted she'd be like, "ohhhhh it's going to bother me so much because it isn't right!!!" like you'd committed a cardinal sin or something.

    I also hate when people try and correct you mid-sentence when you don't pronounce a word the same way they pronounce it. It's like, fuck you, unless it's your name I mispronounced, I don't need to be corrected. Just silently correct me in your head and let me talk!

    As for a real pet peeve, when the windshield wipers are on when it's not raining (or not raining hard enough) and they make that horrible squeaky noise against the glass.

    So much. I was having a forum ... debate, I suppose, with someone (off mibba) and we were both right, because it was a matter of person experience, and I had said that I accepted her side. Yet this person was adamant that I was wrong, and so said, 'Hun, really, this is what happened...'

    I wanted to slap her through the computer screen. It's just rude.

    Even if the person does know me, it still properly annoys me :|

    When people get angry at you because you don't want to do what they want you to.

    The Five gum commercials. No, I don't think it feels like that, I'm pretty sure it feels like chewing gum Rolling Eyes

    When people say "nobody likes me". Instantly makes me think "you're right!" even if I have no idea who they are.

    When people tag things as "queue" on tumblr.
    WHY. Why do you feel the need to do that?

    When people refer to bands as a singular. For example, "Bullet For My Valentine is awesome."

    I don't even know if it's grammatically correct, but it just sounds plain wrong.

    Having to explain how to do something on a computer several times to the exact same person. Especially when i'm in a country on the other side of the world and it's 2am!! No mother, it's just the middle of the night, why would i be sleeping?! I don't know how to use your bloody printer because I dont even know what kind it is!

    I really dislike being asked how to use a smart phone that i've never even laid eyes on before as well - I have an iphone. My mum has a samsung. I can't tell her how to import pictures or files from her computer onto the phone when i have no idea how to use it in the first place. Read. The. Manual.

    When somebody's done using a pen, they don't cap it or pop it back into it's place so the "writing" part of it doesn't show. Ugh, it annoys the living daylights out of me!

    When people chew... With their mouths open.

    I hate it when you're in a quiet room (such as a library or something) with a bunch of people and all you hear is someone sniffling. There is always that one person who does it.
