Things that drive you crazy...

Ooh! This is a Hate list, not a Love list I LOVE Aveda, I'm sad they moved from 1st av though



SOOOOOO have to agree! The people who use that should be shot. Although folks who use emotes for everything are on my dung list too.

Repetitive noises of any kind, especially ones like the wolf howl, the horse clopping shoe sound, and jingling slave bells. Add these annoying sounds to a really packed store or club and it's worse as all they do is increase lag.

People that ask for money.

Idiots wanting to "sex you up", but those I just eject and ban usually.

See, when you do it, it's cute. Chocolate chip, please.

We've got a mouse (or is it a rat?) now, too, if you hadn't noticed. Joseph is not doing his large cat-like duties.

For those who don't understand this apparent inside-joke, drop by the Forum Cartel. But please, do not ride the squirrel.

Oh there are so many good ones here... going to add a few more that grind my gears - sorry for any duplication, and coming across as an intolerant sod, but I'm lacking caffeine and grouchy...

1) I've already said gestures... the noisy ones... so I'll say it again...

2) People who offline IM you with just one word... often "Hi" or "hello"... then never get back in touch

3) People I've never so much as met who ask for copies of my merchandise full-perm so that they can resell it, then have the audacity to offer friendship as if it makes the act any less offensive

4) Mallspace spammers... "50 prims for 400L a week!!!"... *shakes her head* Each of my vendors is 57 prims... try again... if you so much as knew what I was selling you'd realise how patently ridiculous that appears...

5) Being called hun, baby or sweets... particularly by people I've known for less than five minutes

6) Chatspeak in formal communications and abuse of the word lol... IT'S NOT PUNCTUATION. Somehow I've managed to spend 15 months in-world without referring to the person I'm addressing as 'u', or EVER saying lol...

7) 7-foot+ "cookie-cutter no-mod muscle-shape" guys who say "wow weird...you're short!"... and then start laughing

Each plate in my shop is 20m square... you do not have to walk through me or stand so close you're on my foot...

9) Cold TP offers without so much as a "hi" first

10) People who ask for (RL) personal details RIGHT OFF THE BAT... then get pissy when I tell them that I don't give them out

lol

OK I didnt mind you being inbedded in my chest last night, rather cozy actually. LOL
Blings definately - if your going somewhere busy, lose them. special occasions, where your the guest of honor, sure. but come on people.
this one really urks me, coming into game, and my nice male avi is a female and not a good looking one either
I waited half hour yesterday for it to turninto a man and hitting appearance wouldnt open anything and you know how screwed up everythign gets when that happens?!!!!
oh, and work. speaking of which, Im late. Dont tell Trout
Im on my way!!!!!!!!
Spadesrun

Not too many things that really annoy me...but here's my list:

-Random friend requests, if I don't know you and have not spoken to you much, leave me be.
-TPing into a sim or shop and getting offered the same LM/NC
-Those freaks who are only interested in sex and online romance, I so wish I could just orbit them or maybe kill them >>
-People who think they're better than everyone else, god moding etc.
-People who aren't willing to accept you for who you are
-No mod flexi prims, my avatar is not a twig and if I can't change that new flexi skirt to fit I become incensed
-That dreaded ASL question, this is Second Life, RL should not come into it in that regard
-Homophobics, Yes I'm les, so sue me!
-GRIEFERS!

did you ever buy some land?

Bwahahahah! High five!

It wasn't my fault, he was after my nuts!. Don't you ever feed the squirels. and the rats. the tiger, cat, rooster, dragon horses........cows........pigs........sheep, byt the way Mari is it? can you come take them back .....birds, ...........

Nice to meet you les im hetero.
But I have no problem with people who are gay, or switch hit. Lets face it, this is SL people. If you dont like what you see close yours eyes. I did when the grand aprents decided to pole dance at the hangout the other day. didnt help conversations, but somethings should be on "extremely mature only" lands.
LOL

Yes! Yes! Yes!
I totally agree. They walk around the *entire* joint and won't even peep at you. I think it's that they don't speak English personally.
As far as the permissions juggle goes, more creators should sell their items with different sets of perms, right there side by side, in case someone would rather have a trans gift than the ability to back up the original. No one's a mind reader. Just realize that a lot of people are still protecting things like sculpt textures and prim parameters with no mod, and *some* creators will tweak the perms for you on something if you simply write to them and don't ask for anything that will jeopardize them.
The other thing that gets me is when people get demanding. Total strangers expect me to be online CONSTANTLY and will message me Hello? are you there? hello? repeatedly as if they are trying to "catch" me being online. If LL would just simply give us the ability to send out the offline message in response to IMs even if we are online, the way that YIM does (and probably every other chat program of it's same kind) i'd be happy. If you *are* on my friendslist, see me as offline, then message me and "catch" me online, you had better not rub it in my face or expect me to send you a litany of replies....I have you marked that way on purpose you dolt, is what i want to say to them, followed by, haven't you EVER just wanted some quiet time with someone??? I could harp on this one for days.

What with multiple relationships going on in SL from safe peron/people, It would be nice to have a do not disturb, be it that you just temp want to say im offline, or a solid message showing your online but busy. Something simple as turning the indicating icon next ot a friend online to red. That would save a ton of embarassing moments.

Also, I hate when people shared out their lands, and dont take time to "lock" their private areas. I have walked in on a couple people browsing public lands, who probably didnt want to be interrupted. Use lock scripts people, There are some simple ones out there free.

If it is an actual store owner wanting to walk you on the tour, I've often found my FollowChair (comes with the 'spensive MystiTool) to be a lovely asset. Sit back. Get a soda. And when you come back, you'll be in front of the boots. All thanks to the sim owner/chair driver.

Folks that excessively use pet names (hun/hon/sweetie/pet/ducky/aardvark/...) do really grind on my nerves for two reasons:

1) usually I've only just met them and it feels like they're trying to force a feeling of "familiarity" on me before getting to know me. I'm no Neko, but I do have a strong feline "PUT ME DOWN! *SCRATCH*" nature when someone gets too friendly too quickly.

2) I've this overwhelming and undoubtedly rude urge to call them "Nana/Granny/Ma'am" anything that conveys that they're acting like smothering old ladies dithering over a child that isn't their own, instead of the sultry seductress that some seem to portray themselves as.

I actually like that suggestion, and will use it in the future. As in,

"Why thank you, Ma,am."

Would that be considered rude to those who use 'Hun'?




.

Let me know if it works out for you! I haven't been ballsy enough to try it yet. =)

Unwanted group invites. And when I IM them and tell them I am AR-ing them for spamming they tell me it isn't spam, they are doing me a favor by telling me about their store announcements group/mall space for rent.

Peeves...

- Likewise that repetitive shoe noise.

- People who don't *read*.

- Despite SL being imperfect, no matter what you've made, it's always your fault as a creator that an item doesn't work or an item doesn't ship. Lag, asset failures and the like don't exist. It's just a figment of your imagination.

- People who complain that the documented perms are false advertisement on a vendor because we don't allow them to see the custom scripts we took the time to make, despite the rest of the avatar being modify.

- People asking for help who immediately apologize in the first sentence. Why be sorry? I'm the one you need to contact. I know this. Just state the question.

Youre a customer service "dream"

Lana Tomba

Yes, Damn those people who dare to apologize for taking your time! Damn you, polite people (Memnoch shakes his fist in the air).

They're probably afraid of you judging by your post.
"Try not being rude - and for god's sake, stop being so polite!"

Dear Diary,

God, that Attila guy is really driving me nuts. Just because he's got a million alts doesn't mean he really has an army. Him and his damn trafficbots. He thinks he's so cool. And I swear, he wears every. Single. Piece. of. Bling. that he owns, and then walks around with his primnis sticking out, IM'ing me, and telling me that I'm hawt. I wish the Chinese would orbit him, or at least that Damage was enabled on their parcels. I'd spend L$ to watch him get orbitted.

I think the worst thing about him, though, is that once he rapes and pillages a town, and takes it over, he divides it up into tiny little parcels and sets them for sale at ridiculously high prices. What an asshat.

Oh well. Time to go milk the mare.

Love,
Misty

is a she.

And quite the contrary, I hear stories from customers that make me wince about other creators. But anyhow, my cynical side escaped the bag after being up for over 24 hours now. So if I came across as nightmarish, well, it happens. My writing often comes off as more intense than I intend it from time to time. Ok, attempt at sleep now.

Oops! I did think your fist looked very dainty...
