Needing to pay quarterly estimated taxes = annoying.
Not having enough in the bank = panic-inducing.

Ugh. :x Don't get me started. My husband had a GST number (federal Canadian business registration) a while back, and registered for quarterly filing. After not actually making anything during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter that year he switched to annual. Then he switched to annual. A bit later, he switched to annual. You'd think they would register somewhere that he switched to annual, but nope. They kept sending him papers quarterly. After starting a different company, he discontinued that GST number and settled the file (as in "You guys see that I made nothing during these three years when I was actually not trying to make money under this GST number? So I don't owe you anything, right? Ok, good."). Now, we got a bill for "handling fees" for outstanding returns (of $0.00) from 2007! After settling the account! What the hell???? :evil:

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. My husband was adviced to create a savings account and always dump the tax amount of payments straight in there, so that it's there come declaration time. Would have never occurred to me, but it's different being a small company.

People who act like they know more about your class then you do, when they really have no clue about your class.
Tanks who pull to many mobs at once then blame the healer when they cant keep them up. Really. I was on my tree druid healing hellfire ramps once, and the tank pulled 2 groups and the first boss, then blamed me because i couldnt keep him up because he was taking to much damage, and all the dps were taking damage.

People who don't realize druids have a tank healing spec.


Really, if I was set up to raid heal, I'd be stacking spirit instead of sp and haste.


Oh, and a raid leader who asks if druids need haste.

Falling ill. T___T Seriously, the only plausible reason I had a horrible sickness surprise me last night would be because I ate some really old chocolate, and while that explains my stomach being all wonky, it couldn't have caused the fever I'm having. Most of the time if I need to get off the couch to do something, I won't get far due to almost fainting. My appetite is long gone, I have weird twitches probably caused by the fever, and all I can do is lie on the sofa and play some Pokémon. :P Which is getting extremely boring after hours and hours of just that, so here I am sitting at my computer even though I probably shouldn't be.

Last night wasn't all that great either... Having to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes, it was extremely hard to get some sleep, and when I finally did fell asleep, I found myself waking up into a panic attack an hour or two later. Thank god I was smart enough to sleep downstairs, otherwise I would've been screwed...

Just had to get that out.

Why do I find this thread so therapeutic?

Anyway, what grinds my gears (today): hacking .htaccess redirects.

Argh!!! I can hear you just fine over the music, and you turned it down at the best part!!!

Even worse is when they don't turn it back up afterwards.

This. This annoys the living Hell outa me. While I was in high school my mom would turn down the radio on one of my favorite songs when someone called her. And here is the worst part...she would put it on speaker phone. I would sit there and go "what the Hell mom?!" She starts talking and yaking away so instead of listening to some awesome tunes I am listening to her chatter box away....ugh

Tanks that blame the hunter for EVERYTHING.
Spider boss aggros because the mage was standing too close. Healer stands on poison and dies. Group wipes.
"WTF whyd u pull huntard"
....

Paladins who need on tank plate AS DPS when the tank needs it.
It doesn't make it better if you apologize but don't give it to the tank, pally. "Oh, I guess I should have passed. LET ME EQUIP THEM."

Paladins. A few of you can play. Even less of you are even slightly tolerable people. Just because you're OP at low levels doesn't mean you rule the world, stop treating us like scum so disgusting it doesn't deserve your attention.

Level 58 BE DKs who try to RP evil characters. I'm sorry, I'm stereotyping. But if I see ONE more 58 BE DK in the DK blue plate gear being overly obviously evil, I'm going to explode. At least try to hide your evil-ness. Don't go out in to the middle of a large gathering and talk about your Dark Lord killing everyone. That's not evil, that's suicidal. There where large, strong orcs and tauren in that group.

People who RP characters with impossible skills (immune to EVERY element of every type, has skin made of iron, regenerates body parts in two seconds, and doesn't need to breath!) and people who won't let their character lose. Seriously, if you just got impaled twice in the chest with a claymore, you lost.
