<div class="IPBDescription">Well... one group of things</div>A) When people that use one or two letters instead of an entire word: b, u, ur, r, y, p and c. For Christ’s sake people, most of these words are three letters long. No-one can be that damn lazy.
B) When people say "LOL" and "w00t" without meaning to mock people that seriously say these things. Especially in a post, not as bad in IRC but still bad.
D) When people don't seem to care if there are glaring spelling and grammar mistakes all through their posts. I always copy my posts into Word and spell-check them, it doesn't take all that long and it saves you a lot of credibility and misunderstandings.
E) One-Line posts.
F) People that are openly hostile towards newbies. EVERYONE was a newbie once, cut 'em a bit of slack.
G) MS Word auto-formatting. What it seems to think you want to do is totally different from what you actually want. Treats you like a total imbecile. "No you don't want to do this, you want that! Trust me, it's better!"
H) When you cut your toenails and you tear threads off the inside of your brand new socks.
OK, rant over. Anyone got anything to add?

Yes, I also hate this.

I don't understand how this is a bad thing, especially about w00t. I love w00t!

Yes this is something that lots of people seem to forget. I never ever make fun of newbies, only complete idiots (whether they are n00bs or not :P), and I think the world would be a better place if we did the same!
Though I must say, in the NS community there is hardly any newbie bashing at all. Most people welcome new community members, even if they are asking if there will be a shotgun or aliens...

So umm.. why not turn it off then? Or at the very least, when Word autocorrects something immediately press ctrl+z (undo) and it'll undo the autocorrect...

Nope, never done that. Take better care of your feet! :P

Yeah I think everybody dislikes this. I'm not too above myself to admit when I'm wrong. In fact, chances are most of the time I am wrong :P

When you have a picky customer telling you EXACTLY how to do your job, telling you to do for them whatever it is you've ALREADY DONE, carrying an attitude as if the job isn't done JUST right it'll be the end of the world for them, and then, when they pick up whatever it is they wanted from you and leave, you find out 5 minutes later that apparently the customer having the item was not the end of the world, as they left it in some other area of the store.
For those in the food industry:
When a customer asks "those chicken/fries/potatoes/pies fresh?" WHILE your taking them out of the oven/frier/stove. It's as if they lack the common sense that "he's taking them out of the over so they must have just finished cooking."
oh, and anyone who wears a uniform at work:
the customers who ask "do you work here?" when you're in uniform and behind a counter/register helping another customer. "Nah. I just decided to mug a grocery store employee and steal their clothes because they look l337" (I actually told a customer this once... they looked at me wierd and left.)
Hrm.... about the original post. well... I try my hardest to spell and puncutuate correctly, but if there's typos, or a word that I know it's meaning and can say it but not spell it correctly, then I'll just let things slide. Hence all the "teh" and "WHat" and schitzophrenia type words in my posts.

No mistake made, Scythe. We automatically make all characters in the topics lowercase to prevent 'shouting'. Except the first one naturally.
-I hate IRC
-I hate people that try to be "different" but in turn just join the trend of being different
-I hate Avril Lavigne <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
-I hate people who think they know everything
-I hate people who believe a person's self worth is measured by their musical taste
-I hate drunks
-I hate cell phones, a good concept on paper, to bad everyone abuses them
-I hate Queen of the Damned
-And Highlander Endgame(two worst movies ever)
-If you have high pitched laugh or an annoying voice I probably hate you
-I hate people who think they have to ALWAYS be right, no matter what.

I don't wear button up shirts with Dragon Ball Z characters plastered all over them, I don't debate deep philisophical meanings behind movies where every female character is naked through half the movie, I don't search for fansubs of movies that look like they were written by a blind retarded chipmunk because the american dub be mad wack.
-I love you <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
1) Jean Cretien
2) Ontario's schoolboard funding crisis, ####### up everyone's lives, I almost got cut from the gifted program.
3)l33t sp34k1ng llama ###### who think they're the best
4) Anyone that says "make me" when you tell them to do something
I (non-smoker) can't understand why people deny other peoples god given right to poison themselves in the way they see fit.
Most smokers I know a) try to smoke where it doesn't harm other people (the coughing meany blowing smoke in your face is a myth) b) try to get away from the cigarette, only that continuus bashing doesn't exactely help them to do so.

Could be worse, we've got an everything crisis over here in B.C. (budget cuts by the truckload <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> ) And Mr. Cretian doesn't seem to be aware we exist except as "that deligtful place were I holiday."
-Idiots who think that since I don't stay with popular fashion trends I should grovel at their feet instead.
My parents happen to smoke, too, and I can't say it'd do me good.
Although, if your reactions are that strong (I'm luckily only getting headaches), I can see where you're coming from. Don't mind me.
Totally agree. It's one of my pet peeves when the computer thinks it's smarter than I am. That may actually be true in a few instances (for instance, the Perl interpreter is really damn good), but for the most part it just screws me up and slows things down. I guess this comes from a long background of using mainly DOS, which did EXACTLY what you told it to.
Other things:
-Having a dorm room within earshot of the ID card reader at the door, so I am subjected to hearing "beeps" at any time of the day as students get into the dorm. This also goes for people hanging around the door and blabbing on around midnight.
-Seeing a cute girl walk into my economics class, then two guys walk in and both sit next to her.
-WinXP bluescreens. I think they're even worse and more incomprehensible than Win98 bluescreens.
-People on Science and Industry servers who constantly flock to the winning team.

a couple of days ago at high school, I was walking along a path and this primary school kid walked across the path in front of me and grabbed an empty plastic trashcan that was on the side of the path. And then he swung it at me and hit me in the leg. Twas strange at the time but it's funny now
