Ive happened to notice...
 

People on the internet seem to:

1.) Abbreviate words (i.e. lol, lmao, rofl, omfg and so forth)

2.) Love to tell inside jokes in their names on MSN and Myspace as if it applys to everyone else, when in reality no one gets it and its meaningless.

3.) Start Rumors about celebrities dying (i.e. Ron White, Napolean Dynamite)

4.) Fight

5.) Argue over ones opinions

6.) Try to seduce women, which doesnt seem to accomplish much because its on the internet

7.) Give people viruses, for no reason at all. I mean does it benefit anyone at all?

8.) Use repetitive pictures (i.e. Rabbit with pancake on head)

9.) Spam you with bullshit forwards

10.) Pimp their sites


What are some of your worst Internet Pet Peeves?

I hate it when old men come into forums and try and pick up girls.

guys posing as girls

dead baby jokes

pedophile jokes







I, of course, am lying about the second two

Lyrics sites that infect you with spyware.

Hell yeah baby and pedophile jokes are the best!

SPAM IS ONE!!

SPAM IS ONE!!!

SPAM IS ONE!

fighting
people acting the badass...
people pretending to be something they aren't

email jokes that threaten you if you dont forward.

email jokes that make you scroll down for the punchline and as you're scrolling you see the line :
"wait for it" etc ..

stupid shit ass ... i delete those without reading them.

hey !!

i'm the main old man .. and i sure as hell dont try to pick up girls.

well, maybe if i wasnt married i would .. but i dont !

internet is the ghetto of technology

I'm guilty of #5

but 6 and 8. Bug the fuck out of me

I hate it......when people complain about things! It annoys me unendingly!!!!

And I'm not being superior; I am above that kind of behavior.

was it 'Sponsored Observant Day' yesterday ??

Fakes and poor spelling!

People that think their opinion is the only one that matters or is correct. Regardless of the information that is provided to them proving otherwise.

Mitch Hedberg died (he was only 37)

Everyone has bad grammar when they are online. I find myself getting annoyed at others' mistakes, while I am making the same ones.

Chain letters in my e-mail...Along with all of those 'funny' forwarded e-mails that someone apparently thinks I will enjoy...I'm sorry but the type of humor that I can appreciate, is a bit above ANYTHING that I've ever been sent in an e-mail...It just fills up my freaking inbox...

Oh...And HACKERS....I never did figure out who that mother fucker was, but Dustin found a way to keep him out of my computer...He's been gone for about 3 months now...*whew*

are you talking about bloodrayne's guy

No...I knew who that was...He was just a mild irritant here at home who came to THIS site to try to get my attention because I wouldn't answer my phone for him:rolleyes: ....

I'm talking about a REAL internet hacker who I do not know, and who randomly decided to mess with my files...He even managed to delete a lot of my shit, as well as some of my windows components...As if this computer doesn't run like shit to begin with...He was sending things to everyone on my e-mail lists (with MY name on it, as if I had sent it!!!)...And he was sending things to me with the names of my friends on it...They really did look like they came from the people I know, and he was trying to infect everyone with a mabuto (mabutu?) worm...

Fuckhead:mad:

will a mabuto worm crash your computer?
that would freak'n suck i just got my computer
is there anyway or anything i can buy to keep
my computer from getting a virus or worm?

Look up 'virus protection' on the 'net...They'll give you tons of options...Some expensive, some cheap...And some completey free...Those are the ones that I go for...Sam posted about one a while back that was free and absolutely excellent, but I can't remember what it was, now...Maybe he'll come in and enlighten us ;)

haha no, not you dude.

I meant that ElectricEye guy who was inviting all the girls to go to a movie with him.

He was like in his early 30's wasn't he? Gawd is that what is considered old now?:mad:

Didn't know his age. He was older than me though, which is what I based it on.

Sowwy.

Religious nuts, who spam sites hoping to win conversions.

People that flip out about spelling. Get a grip. It makes me want to punch them in the face.:mad:
Granted it may get annoying, but people aren't here to write a damn college paper or anything.

Oh, and spam for porn... from the 18/f with a webcam who's new to the interweb. I jUST HAVE TO CHECK OUT HER SITE. MY FRIEND SAID I WOULD WANT THE ADDRESS FOR IT. gfjdhgjkfdshgs

Yeh I hatte taht to.

Communication is one of the most important things we do as humans.
If you cant spell you have no right to be 'expressing yourself' on a forum.
Its fucking annoying and rather than punch someone in the face (which i could actually do quite effectively) i would rather get a grip on their uneducated asses and drag them back into school where they belong.
Typos are common ... the inability to spell looks like a cry for help to me. It's forum pollution.

You named pretty much all of them, HB.
One of my particular Pet Peeves is poor and lack of spelling. Mainly with unnecessary abbreviations. I don’t know why it bothers me so, but it does. The thought of someone abusing their language and their knowledge just for a faster type. When there are people who really cant comprehend as well, and really don’t have such knowledge to be able to properly spell correctly. Just irritates me is all.

As for hackers, I've been fortunate enough to never had a hacker invade my computer system.

EDIT: Another Pet Peeve of mine is when someone calls the original movie of a series number one. Like Nightmare on Elm Street 1. Friday the 13th 1. Halloween 1. That just irritates the Hell out of me...

Poor SPELLING can be annoying as hell, but thats about the only sound argument I can see. Usually you can still read it. I don't like it myself.

Like is said "People that flip out about spelling. Get a grip."
Its a waist of time bitching about it ALL THE TIME. Every damn fourm does it. Thats what bugs me the most. OMG THE INTERWEB, MUST TYPE AND SPELL PERFECTLY.
Often people are bitching about abbreviations.... the inability to spell is quite different from the short cuts than of the laziness of not picking up a dictionary.

"If you cant spell you have no right to be 'expressing yourself' on a forum"
Thats quite a lot of people in this counrty and the world that are no longer able to express themselves... :rolleyes: I guess that filters out all the crap

I hate those that say forward to 10 people immediately--I'm guilty of forwarding a lot of crap I think is funny--but I'm VERY selective who I forward to.

Avast!

Avast antivirus is free--and I like it a helluva lot better than McAfee or Norton--easier to use and it interferes a lot less with your computer usage.

You spelt forum wrong.:D

heaven forbid we give people a reason to better themselves.
I dont give a shit about one or two here or there .. or even short forms THAT MAKE SENSE ...

but when i see someone chronically advertising their ignorance ..
fuck it - it's like fingernails on a blackboard.

Learn to spell before you learn to turn on a PC.
Anyone who thinks they dont have to know how to spell to get by in life is in for a world of pain..

You spelt "chronically" wrong.






OK....you didn't...but it would have been funny if you did.:)

you have to know i typed slow when i wrote those posts :)

hell, like i said .. we all make the odd spelling or typo or word substitution here or there .. that doesnt bug anyone ..especially Vod now that he's been caught about 1000 times now :D

The one thing that pisses me off that no one has mentioned, is people that don't seem to know what a "Caps lock" button is.

we know what a caps lock button is....
