People with 30,000 posts on a forum, 29,000 of which are posts like "lol" or consist of nothing but a smiley.

People who type everything in all caps on the Internet.

People who type everything in huge long rambling sentences with no capital letters, no full stops, no commas etc.

Websites that tell you what resolution to set your screen.

Websites with "Internet Explorer" or "Netscape Now" buttons. **** you, I don't need you to tell me what web browser to use.

Websites that ask you to download and install a font to view the webpage properly.

Webpages that don't run on any browser other than Internet Explorer becayse the designer is too ignorant or lazy to make it W3C compliant.

Websites with MIDI music playing in the background.

All your problems seem to be on the internet. If you hate it so much, get rid of it.

Well, he said that the list is of his problems on the internet. I'm sure he has problems outside of it.

As for me, I'm a patient guy, and I don't really get angered by anything. I occasionally get frustrated, or even annoyed, but nothing makes me angry. Reminds me of Ned Flanders, only I'm not a "doo-gooder" as he is. Here's a couple of things anyway:

  • I hate when people try to put you down for making a choice about something because of your age. Even further, just because you weren't born around the time of something, doesn't mean you can't know anything about that certain something.
  • I hate when people point out something that you've done in the past, and that you can't mention anything about that certain something, or pull someone up for doing it, because you once done it.

That'll do. Catch me in a bad mood and watch this Thread fill up. ;)
 
I hate mallrats. Don't you have anything better to do than hang around in the mall in your silky Eminem shirt discussing the most inane crap in your stupid little clans, conjesting the aisles and so forth? :grumpy:

I also hate how when you'd be sitting in a class near a group of people and all you'd hear is "Oh! Such and such kissed such and such! OMG WTF LOL!!!". They're usually the kind that think you have to smoke, listen to this and wear that to be cool. I pretty much hate my entire school minus a few select people.

i hate it when your riding a bike on a path and people are walkin 3 wide or more and they dont even flinch to get out of your way, i mean if you ride on the road youd get run over and on the path youd get run over or run into wankers that walk slow and cant be arsed to get out of the way

Damn straight. 👍

And then when you pull up behind them they just shrug you off and continue walking down the path at a snail's pace.

Oh, and pretty much all of what KM and Jimmy said.
 
I really dislike car stereo dorks who play crappy music at obnoxious volumes in traffic. No one needs to listen to music that loud. It's just a sad, pathetic way to draw attention to yourself. The louder the music, the more desperate they are to be noticed. It reminds me of a toddler who flings dokie in order to get an adult's attention.

I really hate stupid ricers with civics that have 5 inch exhaust and have nothing done to the damn engine, and they still think they have one hell of a fast car. They even cruise down some road trying to look cool, with crappy rap music blaring with their stock sound sytems. They even drive their damn summer tires in the frickin winter! Just a few eeks ago, some moron in a cavalier with an unpainted body kit gets in an accident during a snow storm, and as I pass by I see that he still has 19's on with summer tires in the middle of December! Idiots! Also ever had some ricer rev his engine at a stoplight beside you? Even though you might have a better car, they always do it! Some idiot ricer in a Civic with big 19inch chrome rims and stock suspension(which made the car higher than stock and made it look idioticly stupid) starts revving his engine beside my dad. Well my dad and I are in our Mazda Tribute (and the ricer takes off like he's some kind of hotshot in a fast car), well it was a 4 lane road which was clear for about a quarter mile (perfect eh?) till we get to the next stoplight. So the ricer takes off hard spinning his front wheels, and my dad decides to embarass this idiot, and well, you know the story, you beat the guy in the civic and he does a ricer fly by necause he's way to embarassed to look at someone who just beat him in a stock compact Suv........Damn ricers.....

I'm assuming using bold and indigo font (on every single one of over 9000 posts) don't count as vB code these days then?

No no no, not at all. You got the wrong end of the stick. Maybe I should've put 'over-emphasised' instead.

Sorry for the confusion. My original post was an example of what I meant - I thought that would've been easy to pick up? :confused:
 
You guys covered most of my issues - there's is ONE though...

When you're in front of me at the traffic light and the light turns green - You will either A. - Be rolling, or B. Dump the clutch an take off like a rocket.. You WILL NOT - repeat WILL NOT ! sit there for 5 seconds and enjoy the scenery... There's a bloody good reason it gets yellow before it gets green - and that's so you have time to put down your bloody cellphone, put your car in gear, move your foot to the accelerator and be ready for green FFS....

I have a horn and I'm NOT afraid to use it - and trust me - I will honk until you're moving !..

1 sec. Then my patience runs out....

Your lights go yellow before green??
 
I can't stand people who are walking in front of you, who suddenly stop to check the time or something. It gets right on my nerves as it happens all the time in London.

Another problem that some Londoner's have is not allowing people to exit trains. They just barge on expecting you to get out of their way just because they have noticed an empty seat. To$$er$.

  • You mean when people are talking about something and you say something like "What are you talking about" and they say "You're too young to know"? I hated that when I was little, hated it more when people only a little bit older than me said it!

Red, red & yellow, green. Then green, yellow, red.

Funnily, Terry Pratchett coined the phrase "The New York Second", the shortest measurable period of time, defined as the time elapsed between the traffic light going green and the taxi behind you honking.


demon_of_speed - I had an interesting argument with someone who tried to barge onto a Tube train past me and others trying to get out. It went:

"What has more room on it? An empty train or a full one?"
"Errrrr...."
"Well then, let us all off first and you've got a whole ******* train to rattle around in, you retard!"

That's definately part of it, but also when you say you really like a band, or you have some comments on a band, and someone says "But you're 16, how could you know about this band?" I REALLY hate this, as some Music Forum people found out.

Now that's gold. I'm using that some time.
 
Didn't.*

I personally think we should. When we drove around England (and Scotland, but I don't remember if it was there), I thought it was great and it seemed a lot easier. Save a lot of road rage, which is increasing here. Australia are afraid of change.
 
I hate the following also:

People who stop their car in the middle of the road because they saw their mate walking by and they have a conversation in the middle of city centre traffic while a queue forms behind them.

People who park their car in the middle of the road and spend 10 minutes doing their shopping but leave their indicator lights blinking as if that makes it ok.

When you have to get up in the middle of the night and cut your toenails because one of them keeps snagging on your bed blankets and irritating the hell out of you.

Australia's not afraid of change, aslong as that change is for the worse.
Click to expand...
Then why is it that every single change they propose to make never ends up happening, or they just don't pass proposals which would definately be for the better. They will never pass any of these P Plate Driver changes.

Heck, it took 3 referendums to make us a Federation!

They do that over there? That's bad.

I hate when people drive 5 times around a crowded area (usually a school or shopping centre) with 4 other people in the car, "Doof" music blaring and trying to look like they don't think they're cool.

Oh they do lots,

Example SA is now bringing in this new laws where police can confiscate your car just for people dobing you in. They will be able to auction it off if you get your car confiscated three times (it must be a court order though) and you dont get any compensation.

In SA they were going to bring in a law that states that all dogs must be seat belted when in a car.

Theres plenty of other of petty laws and things introduced that I cant be bothered talking about, they mainly just introduce things that the media complain about.

Rarely do I see productive laws introduced, that arnt just there to keep the media quiet or for the governments own gain. Like the Zero tolerance speeding rule where you can only be 3% over the speed limit before you get fined, but yet the ADR (Australian design rules) rules state that your speedo can be out by up to 10%.

Seriously? Why?
Is it worth your while opening your display program and choosing a different resoution? Did the website really look any better? I can't imagine what difference it'll actually make, unless you typically use a very low res for your screen and choose a higher resolution for some websites. But then again, why would anyone use a low res for their screen if they're capable at running at a higher resolution?

I didn't do it for the purposes they explained to me - ie, because it's apparently viewed better in this resoloution - I just did it to see what it'd look like an really, it looks no damn different.

Also: 89 replies! :eek:

My thread is popular. :sly:
 
Australia makes lots of changes, changes that make the government more money that is. dont get me started,
