Things That Annoy You

[Flying Mint Bunny!]

I like Halloween so it doesn't bother me.

^Thank you!

Glad I'm not the only one. This is exactly why I always think "you lot thoroughly deserve it" whenever I hear an American complaining about their media being flooded with drivel about the English royal family.

The English royal family is nowhere near as cool as giving everyone an excuse to spend a month straight taking advantage of the horror genre.

I don't see why people have such an aversion to a holiday where you get free shit just for ringing a doorbell and wearing a costume of something you like.

It's just cosplaying with extra incentive/reward.

Also, you have an excuse for dressing up your home and public places with body parts and monsters and trying to scare as many people as possible for no reason other than laughing at them when they scream like girls.

Gurl, you don't need an excuse.

So, it turns out that the black spot where the ceiling leak was?  That coloration was caused by mold.  Fantastic.  My dad was able to find the source, though.  A falange that seals the area around the furnace pipe was broken.  The bad news is that my dad won't be able to fix it until Monday.  Also, there's supposed to be a storm tonight.  Why is that any worse than last night?  My dad put  hole through the spot on the ceiling and also stripped the insulation away from the area, meaning that now water will drip more freely from the ceiling.  We had to place a large bucket on the floor.

That only works if you're under the age of 12. That said, the point is that it's really grating to be hearing about it incessantly for several weeks straight when you don't actually celebrate it in the first place due to not being American.

People like to have fun.  I mean, dressing up in costumes is also fun, even if it's just for parties.

Hilariously, the fact that everything annoys you is annoying to me.

Stop having fun guys! There's someone outside America that's bitter about our awesome holiday

No doubt. The point is that for people who don't do it, constantly hearing about it is very irritating. If Halloween is a thing where you are and you enjoy celebrating it, go right ahead. Have a grand old time. I've no problem with that. However, I just don't want to be hearing about it over and over and over again for a full fortnight leading up to it. I would imagine you and everyone else take a similar attitude to, say, Australia Day or any other foreign holiday, were you to have it incessantly shoved in your face for two weeks straight. If you can't see how that can annoy any reasonable person, well, I really don't know what to tell you.

Well, you are willingly reading my posts in a thread about things that annoy you. In light of that, it's kind of hard to muster up any sympathy for you on that front.

Weird, I hear about shit I don't do all the time, I just tune it out.

I don't think a reasonable person would be annoyed by other people celebrating a secular holiday.

As far as Australia Day goes, I'd be confused as to why Americans are celebrating it, but I wouldn't mind it.

I read this thread for other people's annoyances, which tend to be more reasonable, entertaining, and less "I HATE EVERYTHING".  Yours just happen to be in the way of the stuff I enjoy reading.

Not to mention it's hard to muster any sympathy for you when you seem to go out of your way to get annoyed by as many things as possible.

I don't mean Americans celebrating it. I mean every internet site you go on being covered in Australian flags and pictures of kangaroos and beer cans, and every web show you watch having Australia Day themed nonsense. All this going on for the two weeks or so leading up to the day itself. You don't celebrate it. No one in your country celebrates it or care if anyone else does. The same goes for everyone you know and pretty much everyone in your country. However, you're still hearing about it over and over and over again. That's annoying. Very much so.

I'm not sure how you got the impression that my problem is Halloween itself existing or people celebrating and enjoying it. That I'm fine with. It's simply having to incessantly hear about it that's the problem. Kind of like why the Bronies got torn several new ones a while back. It wasn't for liking the show or the show itself existing, it was for not ever shutting up about it for even a second. Same basic logic, really.

So... Don't read my posts if they're that offensive to you? I did say just say that, didn't I? If you really can't help yourself, this forum does have a block function. Just use that. In fact, why are you even responding to me? You know that's only going to make me write more oh so terrible posts of mine that wouldn't otherwise have existed, right?

All of the above will be far more effective than simply complaining to me about it. This thread's called Things That Annoy You, not Things That Annoy You and are Approved by Magus Silveresti. I shall post things that annoy me as I see fit, and you'll just have to deal with it.
