You know what really grinds my gears? [mature/NSFW]

Gah! Grouping (or rather, the lack thereof).

Ok, we've all played in busy zones. And we've all seen 5-6 people waiting for the SAME quest spawn.

Last night I watched a load (8-10 most of the time) of people waiting for a spawn, putting down traps/AOE etc trying to be the one to tag it.

Specifically, I saw three alliance in a row get it, and ride off afterwards. Alone.

So when it was my time for thqat quest (had been doing prequest) I rode up, and said in /say "Any other hordies want to group, we can all get it at once" - instant 5-man group, we tagged it, bagged it, and left. All 5 of us got it, a couple of them being people who had been waiting the whole time I was in the area.

I sincerely hope the three alliance players who were still stood there had the brains to group up after watching 5 of us complete at once.

Gah Mockingbird, I know exactly what you mean!!!

I see that countless times, and every time I walk up to find a group of people waiting I do the same thing...ask if there's a group, and if not then suggest to start one. It's so much easier! Instead all these people compete and have to extend their waiting time by having every person go after it individually. /facedesk

People who write common expressions but mistakenly use homonyms instead of the correct word:

For example:
"tow the line".

It's not about pulling a line behind you. It's about putting your toes up against a line on the ground.

It is "to toe the line".

Here's another one:

"for all intensive purposes".

That just KILLS me.


and just to be funny, here are some actual headlines from newspapers (2005) with really dreadful English... or rather, not properly thought-out use of English:

Those are very funny Suku.

Right now what grinds my gears is Vyragosa. She keeps spawning and is not letting her friend TLPD show up at all.

TLPD wasn't invited to any reindeer games

[cowmuflage]

The fact that my time of the month came nearly a week early :S gah yesterday I had not planed for this! WHY body why!

[Azunara]

When I FINALLY feel some inspiration to play pokemon, and the two games I want to play, Diamond and Sapphire, are MIA.

Anyhow: School forcing me to attend religious ceremonies in a church. Me is angry.

Good God! They can do that?
My high school graduation was held in a church, primarily because it was the only building large enough. But they went out of their way to cover up all the religious symbolism.

You know what really grinds my gears? Blizzard.

Why the hell did they think it was okay to make a quest where you have to kill a mob but you can't tag it as yours and only the person who does the most damage gets the credit? I'm going to have to log on at 6am to finish this damned quest!

I found Vashj'ir to have really good quest design in terms of dealing with high population areas. Mount Hyjal had some iffy bits, and Deepholm has been horrendous. Once I get out of here I am never coming back (except to tame Jadefang, obviously).

ARRGGH I know!! The ogre quest on the alliance warship was a nightmare!

Right now? The fact that I have a ton of homework and other stuff to make up because I had a snow day and then spent an entire school day at career centers. -.-

[Makoes]

its starting to grind my gears, that every christmas, I want to get a bit of a tradition going on, something set to look forward to, and all my BF does is crack bad/dirty jokes...is it wrong to want something nice and clean and family oriented?

[Lisaara]

I got a few things.....

1. People who take things a little too extreme then maul your face and call you names when you tell them to chillax. It's a game. No reason to get your panties in a bunch about aspects of it every time something comes up that you don't like.

2. Fire Emissary.....really blizzard? every mob respawned like crazy but this guy takes like 20 minutes to respawn....WTF. Plus I got ninja'd 5 times too....all by horde.

3. Lost City....you are an EVIL dungeon, yanno that? Hate you with a passion.

4. Blizzard. Fix the worgen laugh PLEASE. Laughs dont do the same noise as the chicken emote!

[Adam-Savage]

Good God! They can do that?

If it's a Catholic School then yes because it's required. If you figure you don't want to go to there religious ceremonies and your caught ? You get sent home from school. Your forced to go because it's your parents that pick your school for you usually.

Actually, it's just an ordinary public school, in a rather immigrant-heavy area. Guess they wanna' "christen the populace" or something. Regardless, what I reacted to was that they checked attendance. Meaning I'd be skipping school if I didn't come. Seems I wasn't the only one pissed at it though.

[cowmuflage]

Wow if its a public school doing that thats just dumb! I mean what if some of those people were not christen? that would be like insulting to them. I remmber when my old school trying doing that but they got alot of angry parents complaining that they stoped.

[Saturo]

The majority of the people in that school are not christian. I'd say the largest would be islam. And angry parents is pretty much what they've gotten'.
