When people touch your stuff/belonging when you TELL THEM NOT TO.

Geez. Happened today with my niece. I put my dog in my rom for lunch SHUT THE DOOR, and I'm talking to my mom and gramma in another room, I hear, "Sammie, Sammie" and I walk in and Sam's walking outta my room. I'm like -_-' "LEAVE MY DOG ALONE! I PUT HER UP FOR A REASON!" and put her back.
And I went to WalMart, put Sam in my room again, come back, she's out. Oh well.

Oh, here's another one. When you're busy taking your test and the person next to you has the sniffles or a cold or something. I know it's not their fault, but that doesn't mean it doesn't annoy me. Every few seconds

And it sounds disgusting! I can't concentrate with that.

When people leave lights on, or stuff like that.
I really worry 'bout power getting wasted.
Also candles, but to a lesser extent. Those I just blow out to annoy my mom.

People who comment on official channels on YouTube expecting to get an answer...

People who can't get their own character's markings right.
I already posted a thing about not drawing proper character markings, but people who can't do it on their OWN characters are just a little pathetic... I admit I sometimes need a reference for drawing my own character as well, but at least they don't look different on each image... :/

Credit Goose Guards
I find this so freakn' annoying. I see so many comments saying "credit bla bla bla." I REALLY hate this. These members need to find something better to do other than scout out submissions that don't have credit.

Image Galleries
Why is it so hard to follow the site directions? *Face palm* I'm sorry, but even the mods can't get this right. I see newly added image galleries, and the first image can be anything from a blank render to a colored lineart or render. None of which is related to the source it's on. The rules clearly state that when you're sending an image, fanfic, drawing, whatever, for the first time, it has to be an OFFICIAL image. And yet this stuff passes. I don't get it.

Long political/religius/society/orientation/whatever else lectures on Deviantart journals
Seriously... I have a girl in my watch list whose every journal is a long lecture about Christianity&homosexuality and other guy posting long lectures about how much the world sucks today... Seriously, people, I'm here for your art, ART!

Just this.

I don't have her on my watch list but I know someone who is a good artist but, good God, her journals are so preachy and self-righteous when it comes to complaining about critique or trolls. Ironically, she's all for the 'shut up and draw' stance on DA but yet constantly complains about the drama and doesn't follow her own advice. Good art but comes across to me as quite arrogant and 'oh, I'm too good and holy for dramaz on the interwebz!'.

MTV
Why is it still called music television? It's nothing but filled with those dumb shows like "Teenage pregnancies", "Sweet 16" and other brats. Not that the shows themselves, together with TLC shows(like toddlers and tiaras or Johny&Kate+8) are the worst TV crap ever, but seriously, I remember those times when there was music on MTV...

Argues in comments on Youtube
Especially the songs. Can't you just shut up and enjoy the music instead of arguing about ninjas on viking metal songs?!

^^This. The artist may be pretty good, but when all I see is: "You're a homophobe! Don't be a hater! Killing animals is wrong! etc." It's the fastest way to make me leave a gallery. Stating what you stand for on your profile is fine, but don't go attacking people for not being "politically correct." I have a quote: "Try to shove your beliefs down my throat and I'm liable to shove my foot down yours."

People who are attached at the ear and hands: No I'm not talking about con-joined twins here, I'm talking about people who would go through withdrawals if you took their cell phone away from them. Teenagers seem to be the primary culprits here. We had friends over to our house once and the majority of the time, all they did was sit there and text. I couldn't even hold a decent conversation with them for 3 minutes! Must you live and breath cell phone? Goodness, if cell phones had a decent amount of radiation you would die from ear cancer and your thumbs would fall off.

People who swear ALL THE TIME: I don't like hearing it, plain and simple. If you're around your other buddies fine, but don't do it around me. I mean, why talk about how great something is if you're going to ruin it with a nasty word? And some of the worst mouths I heard have come from kids younger than me...

Also, I don't know who it was that was talking about over-priced commission art, but I agree. I'm not going to pay ludicrous amounts of money for something especially when the person is overestimating his abilities.

I'm bringing this old topic back to life!

Walking Advertisements

The other day my mother and I were in Home Depot looking at kitchen faucets, when a woman walks up and starts talking to us like she's someone on a As Seen On TV commercial. She was advertising for a service that would come out to our house and install new kitchen cabinets. Advertising is fine and all (even though I would prefer to not be bothered while shopping), but talking like you just got done memorizing a script (which was probably the case) is ridiculous. You're talking to REAL people, not a camera. -If only they paid these people to sing a jingle. That would make everything more worthwhile XD
