Pet hates

Corporate office talk. I curse it with bubonic plague from Hades.

"By the end of play" <---- the worst offender and even worse are the sorry goofballs in stupid ties who get off on this kinda lingo.

Another cringerworthy bleating heard around the office:

"Dynamic" position....no one has been able to explain to me what the heck this "dynamic" is....heavily overused word in brochures and office crap literature.

In the furnace with the lot of them!
 
People that copy games. It just winds me up the fact that they don't think it's wrong. If they admitted it was at least morally wrong it wouldn't wind me up nearly as much, but somehow they try and justify it (and believe themselves it's not wrong :/ )!

I worked with a guy on £500 a day who copied games, marvelled about it, and ripped the mickey out of people that actually bought them for being 'idiots'. Then he harked on about any slight side-effect of piracy measures as if it's not the threat to his piracy that is the problem but the fact users may want to install 'Robowarrior 4' on 8 completely different PCs they own and isn't it terrible they can't ....

Just winds me up unreasonably - perhaps because my favourite hobby PC gaming is dying not least because of him and people like him, and he finds the whole demise particularly funny :/

On the opposite side of this, people who who go ballistic over piracy, act like it's "stealing" and a despicable act. Piracy is just a crutch that games companies use to prop up their nonsense claims, and it looks like you've fallen for it.

As for him being on £500 a day, that didn't actually happen in the real world. :)

PC Gaming also isn't dying in the real world.

I know what you mean, people always try justify their actions and use excuses for basically everything they do, that is wrong, the person actually believes they are correct and so in their mind they did nothing wrong..

I am different, lets see if this annoys you then, i do things which i think are morally wrong, and are usually illegal all the time. I understand these things are wrong, but i dont care, essentially, i'll do whatever i want.

But yea, if everyone admits they are doing something which is wrong, but then they say they really dont care, i would be happy.

Yea that doesn't bother me much at all. If someone knows it's wrong to copy and steal games but doesn't give a monkeys .. not that bad, who cares - at least he's saying it as it actually is .. that doesn't wind me up really at all TBH.

It's when people copy games and hide behind some ridiculous form of self-justification or how they're some kind of 'power warrior for the people' because .. er .. 'the retail copy can only be installed 24 times and has copy protection, so I'm copying it as a message of rebellion to the evil evil developers'. AARRRGHH stop talking nonsense and MAN UP! It's obviously actually because you want it for free and you simply don't mind stealing if you think you won't get caught .. I know it, YOU know it, so why bother with the farce of 'i can morally justify it somehow and it ain't that bad'! GRR! I think it's some form of mild cowardice or something, I can't put my finger on it.. Be truthful with your motives - say 'I want a free game and I don't give a monkeys about any moral dilemma or any industry getting hurt' and I'll immediately reply 'fair enough'.

Example 2:

Its like someone taking cocaine and saying 'it's only because the Afghan farmers are being hurt by coalition troops and I want to support them so as I'm against the war I buy and use it'. AAARRGGH THAT'S ANNOYING. , JUST SAY 'er, it feels blimin' nice mate' and absolutely 100% fine with me! It's the self justification and 'I'm being a warrior for the people against some evil-doer so actually I'm a good guy' when they're clearly not, along with 'justification facts' that both parties know is BS but is spouted anyway. AAAARRRGH gosh it's annoying me thinking about it!!

I hate hearing people eat food all crunchy and sloppy! Eat quiet!!!!
Same goes for slurping drinks and spaghetti who suck it up instead of using the fork to twiddle the spag round then eat it.

I read that was actually an intelligent trait; like not doing it fully on purpose but by mirroring your coleagues it is you adapting to your environment and people around you making you more acceptable to those people.
 
Fat people and I'm taking about the ones who simply let themselves go because they become lazy.

Dirty chavs and their slang "ya get my blud", "I swear down", "that's sick!!"

Oh and dogs because I don't like the smell of them.
 
people who cant eat with their mouth closed. theres a guy at work who when eatngn an apple always takes a bite too big for his gob so he has his mouth open for the first like 5 bites. then another guy who has to bite down on crisps like 3 times as he puts them into his mouth. one day im going to end up ripping somones jaw off.
 
People that add the word 'like' for no reason into their sentences!
People who lack manners.
Snakes, they are and never will be pets!
