I hate how I always have to press the on button twice before my laptop turns on.

Sometimes I forget and just press it once.

Then i'll go and get something, and come back expecting to see the password screen already up, but it isn't even turned on >:(

Then I have to actually turn it on and wait a few minutes for it to load up. It's an absolute disgrace!

I get the opposite problem. My laptop often fakes me out about shutting down, and I'll go away and come back later and find out the damn thing is still on.

It also just so happens to be the one remaining device I use that has a Windows OS. Draw your own conclusions.

People who, when they find out I like something say a popular game, start to insult it and complain about it to me. I still haven't figured out their reasoning. Are you... are you trying to make me agree even tho I already said I love the series? Are... are you just trying to be an ass?

It's even better when people say BUT THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH IT! Newsflash: I can still like something despite its faults. I can still like something and accept it has faults. I am not the type of person who says THIS GAME IS PERFECT. It isn't. No game is perfect but I can still love it regardless. Just like we can like a person even tho they tend to do something we dislike. You see?

I've dealt with this on multiple forums and on tumblr. And then people make assumptions based on what I tend to like. It's kinda amusing. And annoying.

I also am getting really annoyed with the whole LET'S CROSSOVER SHERLOCK WITH EVERYTHING!

Something that annoys me...fancy-flavored coffee creamers, like salted caramel and shit.  Yeah, some of em are alright, but...really?  Its coffee, I want it to taste like coffee: sweet, with cream.  If I had my druthers, the fanciest creamer I'd ever get is French vanilla.  Also, liquid creamer only.  The clumps dry creamer makes look gross, and it always leaves my coffee with froth at the top, which makes the glass a real whore to clean, afterward.

As an coffee addict, I love the different falavored coffee creamers. I wish I could find my all time favorite:Chocolate Raspberry, I haven't been able to find it for close to a year now. Though I hear you on liquid creamer, I'm not a big fan of the dry stuff.
If you're a coffee addict, I bet you'd love a Keurig and the 32958937871 different flavors it has to offer. I just looked it up and one of the flavors is chocolate raspberry truffle. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but perhaps it's worth a try. I know the machine can be expensive, but if you're an addict and looking to invest in something worthy, it's a pretty good choice.

Depends. I find that my coffee/espresso machine and espresso supplies is more cost-effective than a Keurig. Then again, there's anywhere between 4 and 6 coffee freaks in the house at any given time, and if I just make plain coffee we go through 3 pots/day. If there's only one person a Keurig isn't that bad, but a box of the little coffee packets is something like $15 for a twelve-pack, minimum.

It's a lot cheaper if you buy it online. It's $15 for a 24-pack, and if you buy $45 worth at once, shipping is free. So you basically stock up that way, and it's not nearly as bad.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

When shows you're watching on Netflix streaming disappear. I want to finish watching Spaced.

I still haven't forgiven them for taking down SG-1

Also, I'm annoyed by the fact that my hands feel dirty for hours after I do the dishes.  I just finished, and I'm hungry, and want to eat some delicious chocolate chip cookies, but I can't because my hands feel filthy.

They should email you a warning when a show in your queue is about to be yanked.

Nothing says classy like your 16-year-old cousin Gangnam Style dancing right in front of you in nothing but his briefs with his junk flopping less than a foot from your face.

I get paranoid easy. Like I think everyone talks about me as soon as I leave, and that they can read my thoughts sometimes... It's really unnerving. I even thought that all the school counselors and teachers were being sarcastic with me when they tried to help me.
BITCHES! YOU BITCHES! Killing me won't bring back your God damn honey!

Is it Mass Effect? I feel like you're talking about Mass Effect.  ;)

I couldn't agree more with that feeling. If I tell you I like something, I'm not asking to be 'converted' out of it anymore than I'm looking to be converted into a religion.



I find myself annoyed recently by people who make committments and then later act like they can't be bothered. Seriously, is it so hard to not agree to something you don't want to do??! *sigh* It's like they think no one else has to deal with the consequences of their decision to bail...

Not just Mass Effect. Happened with Call of Duty (the more recent ones), Fallout: New Vegas. Those kinda games.

My landlady is so unreliable sometimes. I got up early this morning to work for her, and she called and said nevermind because she didn't sleep well. Understandable, but it happens far too frequently, and the fact that I cut my sleep short to do her a favor, only to be turned down, is pretty damn annoying.
