Things That Annoy You

[rookie]

People who use "Autistic" as an insult.  I'm not Autistic, and even I'm offended.  I can only imagine how actual Autistics feel.

I don't like it either. Worse yet, on one forum I post on, it's part of their culture to use "autistic" to describe anything they don't like.

I know, right? That's so gay.

Don't forget that any occasion where some mistake or misplaced object bothers you is clearly OCD.

This one annoys me especially because most people have no idea how painful actual OCD can be. An example: My sister has it, so any time she touched an object, she always had to touch the other side of it. That kind of behavioral pattern really interrupts your daily life. The thoughts are far worse, though. Your brain turns on you and forces you to picture horrific images, like you murdering your family. Obviously you'd never commit such an act, but your brain gives no fucks and wants to supply you with vivid imagery. It's far more damaging than people make it out to be.

i've got a lot of compulsive behaviors and obsessions (mostly due to residual paranoia), but i'm by no means ocd, and i know it. it's annoying enough having to keep your (admittedly large) knife collection srupulously clean (read, near sterile) and razor-sharp (as in, you can shave your face with them) on the off-chance you'll get to use it this month, but it's not life-destroying. my friends used to bug out about this, but they just accept it's part of my quirks. and they're happy enough i bring my knives at cookouts.

i'm barely functional as it is, i can't imagine what it would be with full-blown ocd on top.

Guizonde  (capitalized due to beginning of a sentence) that's caked being responsible. I do the same thing. A dirty dull knife is worse than useless.

[guizonde]

i loll'd at that. you're right, rookie. that's what i was taught, and from there i went overboard. i forgot to mention that i clean and sharpen my knives after every use, and if i don't use them, i try to clean them everyday on the off-chance i might need them. that's where it gets in obsessive territory.

I just keep remembering something Deimos posted here once.  "Ah, OCD.  Did I remember to lock the door?  Better check 20 times, just to make sure!!"

"Person X is not homophobic, they just think homosexuality is inherently wrong and sinful and disgusting! It's not like person X is directly beating up gay people or anything, so they can't be homophobic!"

*screams internally in sheer rage*

Apparently the latest Chrome update has fucked up the function of available tab suspender extensions.  Users of The Great Suspender are reporting that unsuspending a single tab causes all suspended tabs to activate.  If I'm on tumblr and open a Cracked article in a separate tab, the suspender I currently use will cause the Cracked page to suddenly jump to the top and lock up while the tumblr tab is being suspended, only for the tumblr tab to then be saved as the Cracked tab.  There was another one that also seems to be having issues after this update.

It sucks for me, because I need a tab suspender to cut down on lag, since I always have a buttload of tabs open.

It has also made YouTube act like crap I had to actually re-download Fire Fox (a program I hated when they decided to turn every other text you use into an ad) so I could finally use fucking YouTube without it acting like crap.

I'll just be over here, using Opera.

Ironbite-a super stable browser.

That is not normal functionality.  You got a malicious addon, somewhere.  Disabling and removing it will correct the issue.  A virus scan afterwards is also a good idea.

[SpaceProg]

Indeed.  I never had Firefox do that to me either.

[Art Vandelay]

I've not seen an ad on Firefox in years. Adblock is a wonderful thing.

This was like years ago so meh.
