Ok, here's one that you'll love! When at the movies, after all the hullaballo of getting tickets and snacks and actually getting to see it, there always have to be a child crying or some idiot who uses his or her phone distracting you from the screen with its light. Like, are they going to watch the movie? Or are posting about whatever goes on it?

This one time I was at the movies with my older brother, and we were sitting in the back row and there was this guy sitting in front on his phone talking REALLY LOUD. I yelled at him, in quote, "Hey! Put your Goddamn phone up! Were trying to watch a movie!" After that me and my brother were banned from that movie theater.

People reading in a book store that shush you like it's a library.

I was helping someone find a book and someone in the reading area shushed me for talking in a normal tone of voice. I walked over to them, bent close, and in the loudest non-yelling voice I could manage went, "It's not a library!"

He wasn't happy, but the staff just chuckled and ignored it.

Forgetting to switch between Dtext syntax vs html syntax when posting here or on other sites.

I can't count the number of times I've posted elsewhere with [ i ] this mistake [ /i ] on a site just because I'd spent a lot of time on e621 that day. Or the number of times I've posted something on e621 with nicely formatted <i>italics that don't italicise</i> because that syntax is just so automatic. Having to consciously override something so automatic to do a less-common form of syntax is annoying. Especially since it is correct, it's just in the wrong language. Very annoying.

Especially if it's in a comment. Because you can't edit comments for some reason. That's kind of double the annoyance when that happens. I know it's not a big deal, but it is obnoxious when it happens and you're like "just let me fix it!" and the site's all like "nope." lol

This. And I just use Hide as a substitute edit button when I feel I really need to. Just copy-paste what's there, make the necessary changes and post again. Not sure if staff members are still able to see the deleted posts like I am, but it works since at least regular members aren't.

Here on the forums though, I abuse Edit like a red-headed stepchild.

English isn't my first language, and that combined with dyslexia... the results aren't pretty. I've probably edited some posts up to ten times.

I can read the preview over and over, and still end up skipping words or completely messing up the grammar. It's quite annoying, to be frank.

Totally see what you mean.

I'm not dyslectic, but English isn't my first language either and I sometimes struggle to weave everything I want to say together nicely, at least on the fly. Which actually makes me a little envious when I see some other person spewing out all sorts of really eloquent comments or forum posts in rapid succession, even though the one behind it is probably a native speaker.

So then I re-read my post I considered good enough to submit a few moments ago, to look for oversights and suddenly think of a thing or two I really should say differently to get my point across better, and off we go. Or I just add stuff. And that all can happen quite a few times for longer bits of text like that slight rant above.

As a native english speaker, you have my total respect for writing as fluently as you do. Genjar too. I'd have guessed that you both spoke English as your native language. Nothing's ever made me think 'oh! I wonder if English is their second language, because that was an odd turn of phrase/grammar pattern/awkward/strangely-formal, etc'. there's usually small clues but in this case you both write English well enough to pass for native. And Genjar...hell, dyslexia can turn even the native speakers into engrish writers. I struggle with dyslexia, so I can sympathize with some of that. The fact you're writing in a second (or more) language just makes me very impressed.

Most my posts are a long drawn out process of write, preview, reread, rewrite, hit preview, reread, rewrite, hit preview... I can stay in that preview box for hours on a complicated post. It goes through so many different versions before I finally post it. I have to try words out and then move them around until it reads the same as what I have in my head. And half the rereading is to try and make sure the words look the same every time and something hasn't changed on me. Between dyslexia and being a little OCD, it can take awhile to get the words right.

It's kinda nice to know I'm not the only one who goes through such a process when they post though. Maybe it's a bit sadistic, but it is nice to know that not everyone out there can just slam a couple of keys, proof read it once (at most) and then post it without it ending up a giant clusterfuck of letters. I envy those people. Of course the upside to having to wrestle so hard with words is that, when I do finish writing something that ends up actually decent, I get to feel so damn proud of myself. Battle waged, and won. *struts* There's always an upside.

Updated by anonymous

Dude, that is so me. The barrage of edits only comes after a sometimes lengthy consideration (and revisioning) period before I'm even gonna post in the first place. At least with multi-paragraph stuff, I'm usually okay when it's a short comment.
Though I'm still extremely picky with my words especially if I'm trying to be amusing in the comments. Seriously, the hardest thing to do in a language that you haven't fully mastered is getting others to laugh. :|

Guess we're indeed both (and Genjar too) a bit OCD in this respect, otherwise we probably wouldn't care so much if something seems well-formulated to random strangers. Being perfectionistic to a fault can be a blessing but also a huge pitfall, as I've experienced myself. At the very least it WILL eat up your time and that's damn annoying.

Also, thanks a bunch for that compliment! Hearing that actually means a lot to me, I can often be doubtful about whether I didn't write something down in a way that comes across as unnatural. Gets even worse when I'm trying to speak (makes sense, can't edit that), but luckily that's irrelevant here.

Grammar strangely doesn't faze me most of the time (which surprises myself considering how batshit illogical English grammar can be), but expressions and proverbs bother the hell out of me. You only start to get a grasp of their meanings and when to use which from plain experience and following the lead of others, and I'm obviously still learning. Which I should, considering I'm currently in college to be a translator.
Long way to go, but yeah, 'sgood to know I'm able to hide my dirty foreignerness to some extent. Means I must be doing something right.

Sorry to the staff if this is starting to look like a hugbox, by the way. :') I'll be disgruntled again in a moment, promise.

Oh, and by the way, I think I'm ready to press Post now and getting there took me at least half an hour, probably forty minutes. How about that for an example? =/

When people bring babies/very young children to action or horror movies. Even worse, when their kids start crying and instead of leaving the theater they just keep watching the movie! I was in a situation once where I was surrounded by three families, all three had baby. Those babies cried all throughout the movie, by the end of the movie I wanted to kill all three families and myself!

Having to add legitimate words to spellcheck dictionaries. It just annoys me for some reason. Is it really so hard for them to start out with as many words as my hardback RL dictionary?

It really bugs me when I use a word that I know is a word, and it tries to tell me it's not a word. (And as a bonus, it suggests completely irrelevant and inappropriate word replacements.) So I have to stop what I'm doing and use a separate system (like google) to double check the spelling and then add it to the dictionary manually. Which is very inconvenient. It still bothers me though: why on earth wasn't it in the dictionary already? What dictionary were they using that didn't have some of these words?

It's weird, because if I'm dealing with a person and they don't know a word, I'm fine with it. I was that person once. It's human. But when it's a machine doing it, I just feel like I'm dealing with an idiot. It's a programmed dictionary - it's supposed to know that word. That's the only purpose it has in life and it's supposed to be reliable at it. So why on earth was it programmed with barely the vocabulary of a fourth grader? It makes me feel like I'm doing its job myself every time I have to double check that yes it's a word, yes it's spelled that way, and then add it in manually. I shouldn't have to do that so often, so wtf went wrong?

I can't help suspecting that somewhere behind all of this was just someone who was being lazy. Sort of a "I'm tired of typing in words, we'll just pretend no one actually uses the rest of them..." And that just pisses me off. /end rant

Copyright issues, dictionaries are copyrighted, you can't just take the book, copy it, delete everything that is not a word and then reuse it on your own.
However, try downloading a "real" dictionary for your browser, possible the same you already had, at least for FF the ones you can manually download seem to have more words in them than the preinstalled ones.

On the topic of video games (can of worms > opened), modded lobbies in MW2. Specifically, hosts unlocking all my stuff and/or maxing out my level, never mind the actual malicious tampering. I now start the game with a program that periodically backs up my progress. My friend got the game for me recently, and I've been casually playing it only when he invites me. I just want to progress normally through the ranks at my own pace, no frills, and I want my unlocks to reflect my actual achievements. Modded lobbies often (always?) don't record and update any progress anyway, so they hold no value for me. Needless to say, the game has no server browser or filter for modded lobbies. They have provided crappy experiences in general.

I won't explore the umbrella issue of cheaters. Too obvious.

I have hair that goes just past my shoulders, and I constantly get people telling me to either cut it short or to trim the ends so it grows longer.

When people who use the American spelling of words say the British spelling of words is wrong, and when people who use the British spelling of words say the American spelling of words are wrong.

I have a penchant for smashing mosquitoes with my bare hands. I've killed flies with objects other than fly swatters, but swatters are often my go-to weapon of ultimate justice against the fly demons from the 5th dimension.

J/K. In my case, I'd prefer if they leave them in a trashcan are quiet. Hearing the blaring of children in places that otherwise you need to listen (movies) is annoying as fuck.
