Waking up to a huge snowfall when it's almost April. -_-
Blah, stupid Alberta. I hate winter here. Around March it will seemingly start going away....the snow starts to melt, the days get warmer, and you get all excited thinking spring is just around the corner.
Then winter suddenly comes back and goes "HA! Fooled you suckers!" and puts back all the snow that just disappeared.
Rawr!

Ugh. Speaking of waking up ... the random guy who mows our lawn for cheap happened to be doing the neighbor's lawn today, and I really needed to talk to him about doing ours (because he left a note on the door yesterday saying he wasn't sure if we'd moved, and because our neighbors on the other side are about to report us to the HOA again I think) ... all of which means that I had to drag myself out of bed, pretend to have been awake for hours like a normal person, go out into the bright, bright sunshine and make polite conversation with a stranger (which is something I'm pretty bad at anyway).

Ah, Albertan winters. There's nothing like it. The Province likes to contribute to the whole "Canadians live in igloos" myth. XD
That kinda sucks Mania. One question though, were you actually planning on moving out?

Airports. I'm currently sitting in Helsinki, waiting for my plane to land. That after waiting about an hour in Stockholm to board. Anywho, landed here, took most of the baggage with me. I can only hope that the rest of it will be taken to the new plane when it lands.
Anywho, that plane is late, and circling over the airport now. Another plane is apparently standing on the lane my plane is supposed to have been on half an hour ago. Airports are just such a huge hassle...
And low-price flights are horrible!

Forcing myself out of bed when I am still very tired with the thought that maybe something exciting has happened, only to find out that nothing very exciting has happened.

Real Life:
Having to drive a car that is not my own.
Being forbidden to put anything into said car to keep it running, i.e. spark plugs, air filters, fluids, etc.
Being lectured for hours about how fixing my own car is not important.
Being belittled by someone who thinks they know everything about my interests when they know nothing.
WoW:
Gold beggars.
Spam.
People who can't type properly.
That "l2ply" crap or whatever it is that people always say when someone doesn't play to their standards.
Huntard and other stereotype names and how much people use them.
People who run up and kill whatever pet you are in the middle of taming.
I could go on, but I'm too steamed to think properly right now.

You know what grinds my gears? A good portion of the stuff I have to read in BGs and Trade chat. People keep saying that you have "downs" if you screw something up, along with way too many racist and sexist jokes on there, and I doubt that they're kidding. Oh, and don't get me started on BG drama queens. "u all fuking suk u all have downs"? Since when were you so perfect? BG runs have idiots, but sheesh, shut up already!

What really grinds my gears? A hunter pops up when I've farmed Arcturis all day after my good friend Kal tagged him for me and i'm gunna tame him a jealous hunter kills him. Later that night same hunter shows up threatening to kill him if he spawns after a while he gets bored of this and logs off only for me to find a level 80 hunter in the same guild on the way out saying he might just accidently kill Arc in the confusion and that he reported my friend and i for griefing. /GRRR >:(

I know what grinds my gears...at least awhile it did! That I keep on forgetting to loot the freaking corpse of Arugal, mainly HIS HEAD. I've done this like three times already! xD
It makes me mad on how can I forget to loot a quest item.

In WoW? DPS queing up as healing or tanking just for faster ques. Idiotic tanks who don't watch the healers mana, or keep pulling even when the healer is tanking. Jerk hole DPS who constantly use tricks of the trade or mis-direction to pull if they think the tank is pulling to slow. ((Seriously, had a rogue in a regular, leveling Drak'Theron keep, not even a heroic, who was always two packs ahead of us.)) People who call you a moron for little mistakes, or percieved mistakes. BG chat. Arenas.
In life? People who come to me to ask for advice, and then refuse to listen to said advice if it goes counter to what they want to do. If you know what you want to do, why come to me? Why ask my opinion, or my thoughts if you are just going to give me that look and say "I don't know." And this is when I have usually been spot on right about everything else. If I have told you through four other girlfriends/boyfriends exactly how your relationship is going to go, and how it is going to END, and you didn't listen then, and come to me AGAIN, to have me warn you AGAIN, and you STILL don't listen, then seriously, stop asking.
Road rage. People who are very intent on getting to where they are going, even so far as to cut you off just to get to that red light ten seconds faster.

"Your mom" jokes, "anal" jokes, using the word rape to casually describe beating someone/something, so basically, the trade channel.

Oooh, one thing that annoys me a lot is when people type like this dont use , or . misspell alot and dont ever capitalize things it drives me nuts (mainly because I'm a crazy person, who, if there are no punctuations in a sentence, will not pause while reading so I read it very fast)
Example:
i tamed humar on the first try i was so lucky i was really happy cuz i didnt know even how rare he was hes realy rare but i was realy lucky cuz i got him but didnt even have to farm for him yay im lucky or what lol and i also got snarler liek so soon after i digned to forty to im a happy hunter but i want arcturis but i have to level up a bit before lol and i want loque nahak but i have to level up more and i hoep we get more stable slots oh plz blizz give hunters more stable slots we dont have enough room
I read that like this: ITAMEDHUMARONTHEFIRSTTRYIWASSOLUCKYIWASREALLYHAPPYCUZIDIDNTKNOWEVENHOWRAREHEWASHESREALYRAREBUTIWASREALYLUCKYCUZIGOTHIMBUTIDIDNTEVENHAVETOFARMFORHIMYAYIMLOCKYORWHATLOLANDIALSOGOTSNARLERLIEKSOSOONAFTERIDINGEDTOFORTUTOIMAHAPPYHUNTERBUTIWANTARCTURISBUTIHAVETOLEVELUPABITBEFORELOLANDIWANTLOQUENAHAKBUTIHAVETOLEVELUPMOREANDIHOEPWEGETMORESTABLESLOTSOHPLZBLIZZGIVEHUNTERSMORESTABLESLOTSWEDONTHAVEENOUGHROOM
It doesn't hurt to capitalize people. Even putting in a few periods would help.... >.<
