Grinding gears.

Dogs dying in movies/video games/shows/books. Yes, I know it's not real, but it's still fucking sad.

I'm talking about girls who claim to like video games to get attention. TEE HEE I'M SUCH A NERRRRRRD! LOOK AT ME U GUISE!

Almost as bad are the girls who respond to gamer girls by saying they're better because they play video games, which is LIEK SO RARE. /speshul snowflake

Anyone who immediately and irrationally dismiss female comedians.
 
People who immigrate to a different country but can't be bothered to learn the language, so they just make their kids learn it and use them as a walking translator. At my old job, I got a lot of Hispanic people who would do that, either coming up to the register and using their kid as a translator, or just sending the kid in with a giant list and a $100. Actually, pretty much anyone who insists that a pre-first grade kid should place their own orders.

People who go into a restaurant with a long line, and when they get to the front, stare at the menu like they've never seen one before and go, "Hmmm...now what do I want?" For that matter, pretty much anyone who holds up a long line for no good reason.

With this I'm a little less hesitant to judge. Mostly because if I was forced to emigrate to India I'd probably be really apathetic to learning a completely new language and abandoning the one I've used for my entire life. That and a lot of the time the parents don't want to immigrate but are forced into doing it, due to increased opportunity in Western countries.

I can understand that, but I still think if you're emigrating to a country with a different language, you should at least learn a few basic things so you're not completely reliant on a translator. Pretty much all the ones I saw just clearly didn't know anything in English, and these kids were really young and a lot of them were obviously struggling with the translation.

I try not to be that asshole, but dammit its hard to read the menu at some places. wow so tiny.
 
Just found another one.

Fans who do Let's Plays.
....Too general.
How aboooooooooout...
Fans who constantly talk (every single fucking second) during their Let's Plays.
Still too general.
Fans who are constantly talking during their Let's Plays and show an embarrassing lack of knowledge of what they claim to be a fan of. And I'm not talking about "not knowing what they're doing" or the kind done for comedic effect. I'm talking about claiming to be a fan of it and not knowing a thing about it.

Watching this one guy play the demo of a Corpse Party fan game and he just doesn't shut up. (Why do I have this fascination with bad things, GodBear? ...okay, actually I was looking up a demo to see if I'd like to play it and his came up.) 95% of his video is bitching about how something in the fan game didn't exist in the canon when it actually did. (Worse when several of the things he complained about existed in both the old canon and the new canon.)

The previous fan game made by the same group (which he complained about) made references to both canons, even using remixes of the original (or at least the "rebuilt" original) music. Which he complained about. (Something like, "Ugh, what is this music?")
Seriously, all of his complaints show an embarrassing lack of knowledge of all three when he's played all three. You'd think he never laid eyes on a single Corpse Party game in his life...

Also, dude, we get that you don't like this character. You can stop beating us over the head every other sentence with your undying hatred for this chick and how you pray for her death.

...So yeah. Fans who decide to do a Let's Play that are constantly talking (right down to narrating the text, especially in a monotonous tone) and don't even seem to know a thing about the game/series they claim to be a fan of.

Note: I'm totally fine with plenty of LPs, especially when the person makes an effort to be entertaining. But for fuck's sake, you don't have to fill every single second with your voice.

....end rant.

I'm kinda on the fence about this, honestly. My wife is Filipino and I've tried to pick up the language, but I just have no ear for it. I can usually piece together conversations in Tagalog based on the words I do know and cognates, but the truth of the matter is that if I immigrated to the Philippines I'd be at a very real disadvantage. My kids, though, are fluent in both languages.

I understand what you're saying, though. If you visit a new country--and especially if you immigrate to it--you should at least try to learn a few basic greetings and customs. I've wandered around several Asian countries with a English-whatever dictionary and I've found most of the people to be very helpful if you're willing to meet them halfway. :)

As to that last one, Blossom, I can totally relate. I was in catering for about 3 years (worked a cafe, couple of restaurants, and a kids daycare) and the shit that people would pull is pretty amazing. I think the worst experiences I had was when I was a chef/coffee monkey/server-upper in a Debenhams restaurant. As some of you may well know Debenhams is a big department store chain and in the UK is mostly frequented by disgruntled parents and yuppies.

During that time I learned that for all their appearances, underneath their perfumed, stupid-hatted guise, yuppies are really just animals; primal, touchy and specific to their needs, with the reasonably pleasant/irrational dickhead factor being on a hair trigger.

I had these people shout at me, swear at me, personally insult me, threaten management, tell me I'm 'lucky to have a job' or 'dole fodder' for reasons usually as trivial as running out of beans for breakfasts. I made one guy a coffee, and minutes later he came back and threw the whole mug, contents and all, at me because he 'didn't like it'...needless to say I didn't like getting more coffee burns either, but apparently people in retail are just fleshy punching bags for everyone else with no rights to stand up for themselves. During this amazing 10 months of jobbage I got called - 'fat bitch', 'fucking useless', 'stupid twat', 'go back to the nasty place you came from' (I'm from BUCKS living in DORSET, is my accent really that out of place, or do I just look like a badger?), 'go back to the dole office', and my personal favourite - 'What's the matter? Did your daddy hit you too hard!?'. Seeing as that I genuinely was abused by my father, it took every last amount of restraint not to vault over the counter and Glasgow kiss that wanker to hell.

The best part was that my managers didn't back me up at all. They were sycophantic twats with ridiculous company loyalty, simpering to the customers and throwing free shit and refunds at them because I'd DARED to tell them we would be getting more bacon in 5 mins or so instead of RIGHT NOW. I worked hard as I always do as, despite not caring for the company I worked for, I like to do a job well; because of this the managers would take advantage by piling extra hours/days on me with no notice, or withholding my break on a 10 hour shift. Despite that shit being illegal, I didn't care too much as I needed the money pretty badly.

I did, however, stand up for myself. The list of personal complaints that customers had made about me (usually through me telling them to go and fuck themselves, or calling them jumped-up yuppie cuntrags) was up to about 14 before I got fired (for what was basically stress-induced illness from working there in the first place). I was gunning for at least 20, so I was pretty disappointed.
 
To the people who can't stand people who don't bother learning the language of the country they move to, yeah, that's pretty much my life. Most of our media is entirely in Spanish, you can't get a job here if you don't know Spanish, and I actually live in the US. Albeit we don't have an established language and the only time we came close to having one was during the revolution when it was suggested that we make our national language German. Still, it's ridiculous learning English in school and not being able to use it for anything here without getting laughed at.
 
People who complain constantly about the state of things in the world (politics, social issues, etc) but are unwilling to actually get involved in making an actual change.

Hacking, specifically, means to use a computer to gain access to private information on another computer.

A Distributed Denial of Service attack does not involve gaining access to another computer's data without proper authority. It is to repeat a legal, available action many times from many computers in a way designed to intentionally disrupt services to legitimate clients of the service. The most common form of a DDoS attack is requesting a very large image over and over again until there is no bandwidth for other computers to access the webserver the image is hosted on.

A DDoS is not Hacking. Stop calling fucking idiot kids and their friends Hackers. They aren't.
 
I've been reading about the Chris Christie Bridgegate fallout for the past two days.

I'm upset about it, and I know that if I were a resident of New Jersey I'd be absolutely livid.
 
Any fucking cunt who uses the words yolo or swag. Fuck those people.

Same. He's an idiot, but it doesn't have anything to do with me personally.
 
Brother, do you know what bothers me? Bobby Heenan. He is always throwing guys at me but I keep knocking them down, man. After they see the awesome power of Hulkamania, they usually abandon Heenan for being thrown into such a helpless situation. Bobby Heenan, you shall feel the wrath of the pythons! You shall feel the wrath of Hulkamania. WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, WHEN HULKAMANIA AND THE LARGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD, RUN WILD ON YOU?!
 
^ They don't call him "The Weasel" for nothing, Hulkster!
