For the record, if I ever see the votekick popup, I ask why before I do anything. People that just click yes without thinking about it are bad little sheep. Baaa-d. lol

My Gear-Grinder of the Day:
I currently work in a big-box grocery store, with my main job being to help customers. Sometimes, I get a call to go and re-weigh some meat whose price label has disappeared. So, I go about my business; pick up the product from the cashier, run it back to the meat department, get them to weigh/price it, and start to take it back. Now, right here is where I usually call the cashier back and read off the UPC so they can put it through and let the customer pay while I'm bringing it back up to them. For whatever reason, after they've keyed it in, the cashiers ALWAYS ask, "So, you're bringing that back up, right?"
.....
NO DUH. Of course I'm bringing it back! Nah, I'm just going to let them pay for it, then put it back on the shelf. No, maybe I'll give it to someone else! That's a good idea!
It irritates the hell out of me every single time. I know my job, let my do it without asking stupid questions!

RL: The snowplow driver. God, how I hate him. Why, why do you think it is OK to scrape up the entire street and put it into my yard? In the process you remove huge chunks of my lawn, which I replanted after you did this last year. You broke my tree. Then you kill what is left with all the road salt in the snow you scraped up into my yard. The pile is taller than my house! Why?

WoW Peeves:
-People who don’t capitalize their pet’s names, it bugs me for some reason.
-People who call me a huntard. I am a hunter, I actually know what I’m doing on my character.
-Elitest jerks who think they’re god’s gift to WoW and put down anyone who’s still trying to gear up.
-People calling other’s fail just because they’re still gearing up when the bully is only doing 1.2k dps on bosses.

RL Peeves:
-Having to finish a project for someone because they’d rather waste time and boss doesn’t get on their @ss about it.
-Having a client tell me I did something wrong when I’ve been doing my job for over 6 years.
-Calling someone whose voicemail starts as “Hello? (after long pause) nah just kidding! Leave me a message at the beep” when I’ve been talking thinking they’re there.
-Mailman who won’t deliver my mail if my car is slightly too close to the mailbox. Get out of your truck and walk 3ft. >:(

...I'm so tempted to do this now...

But anyway!

People in PuGs who get angry/upset when my rankwatch addon goes off. The focus of the addon is to show people when they are using a spell/ability that is a lower rank than they should be using. With dual specs, this is a common problem for a lot of players. And then my addon goes off, some people are like "o thx" and I'm glad I have it. Then I get the people who're all "You should turn that off. It's very rude." How the hell is it rude? You're the one using a lower rank spell, by accident more than likely. Just fix it. Tell me you know and you'll train after the dungeon.

Mmm, lets see...

WoW irritations - People who type without capitalizing their words or even attempting to spell. I'm not a spelling wizard, but how is "Guys" hard to spell? I'm so sick of this: "hi giz who r u????"
People who use "u" instead of "you".
People who use "r" instead of "are".
People who say "Lol" after every, single, sentence. "So anyway, lol, I went to blackrock depths with my 55, lol. I got some neat shoulders, lol." NOBODY CAN LAUGH-OUT-LOUD THAT MUCH.
This whole Gearscore thing...
Elitists who say I'm playing my hunter wrong, when I've never had a problem before.
Jerk healers that leave the group as soon as the tank pulls the first mob.
People killing the rare spawn that I've been waiting for for ages, knowing full well that I'm standing there, watching slack-jawed in horror.
People who seem unwilling to even give Worgen a chance. Not everyone that is going to play one is two, you know. Some people just like the model.

RL irritations - Texting. It just grates on my nerves.
People who are so bloody stupid that they drag an entire class behind because they need to ask what "Eternity" means or how to use a period.
People who take sports way too seriously. Even little things like dodgeball. "HAHAHAHA! I GOT A POINT, F****! TWO TO F***ING ONE!" -.-

There are more, but I think I would get mad if I tried to add more.

OK, THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO AGGRAVATE ME.

Seriously, bad tanks. They don't even try to get uncritable now. They expect healers to be able to be pulling constant 12k or more heals to keep them up, then complain when healers have to stop for mana or if they grab aggro from the tank trying to just keep the tank alive.

Now you wonder why people don't want to heal. There's your answer.

We got a warrior as tank. He had less health than the Mage. He had less mitigation than me. And we couldn't votekick! Stupid retadins that sign up as healers... We got TWO!

/sob
45 minutes of queueing and half an hour with a crappy group and what do I get? MORE WAITING!

Frankly the retadins make better tanks then 50% of the rest of the tanking population.

People who complain about my DK being a blood spec tank. DKs came out in 3.0 guys. Any spec of DK can tank. They just have to know what they're doing. Hint: I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

Well, blood does have the worst mitigation. Sure, they can regenerate a lot of hp themselves, but you're probably better off as unholy or frost. Just saying...

Actually the mitigation is the same as any other race and you didn't slink off fast enough.

*Slinks back*
Yet the other two trees have many more talents that increase mitigation, whereas blood is more focused on regenerating health, making a blood tank a manabattery for most inexperienced healers.

*Slinks away again, faster this time.*

I read that as blood elves lol. XD >>
The best spec is actually considered a frost blood mix last time I checked.

I read Elitist Jerks tanking threads like a hawk.

Currently my DK will end up with 53/8/10 when he is 80. It will look something like this.

Mostly because I've had some really bad healers in PuGs on my DK. I actually loved unholy tanking a lot more and was rolling this for awhile. But, having SO many people complain (because the healer couldn't keep me up) I just went ahead and went blood.

Also, note that Will of the Necropolis is gonna get extremely more valuable in the next patch. For now it's mostly so I don't have to pay to respec later. I also plan to use the build to PvP a little, hence the rune tap max/rune tap glyph.

Edit: Just for the record, guys that are similar to the green shirted fellow in this comic here make me angry (but I think it's hilarious nonetheless...).

One word: snow. Again. XD

Seriously though.. Now that it's gotten a lot warmer than a month ago, all the snow we have has gotten incredibly unpredictable. So now we have a yard full of snow that will 25% of the time hold you up - the remaining 75% is when you sink knee-high into this heavy and icy.. stuff. There's no such thing as a steady foothold, it can happen even on the hardest piles of snow.

Makes me really feel sorry for our younger dog, who's struggling to get out there and do her business... Unfortunately with the snow so high that the dogs can jump over the fence with no problems (in fact, at some places they don't even need to jump), we have to keep them on leash >> guaranteed FUN when we have to follow them into the snow. :P

Plus a certain spot on the roof is filled with ice and heavy snow... Right at the door that we use the most. I sure as hell don't want to be around when it all decides to come down.

There are a couple words I hate that make me angry when I hear them - berber (carpet) and colonel or kernel. They just grate on my ears and make me want to slap something.

The word "Colonel" makes me twitch. Why is it pronounced "Kernal" when it's obviously -spelled- as coh-lun-ul?
