Agreed bro. Fucking horrible shit, i don't even understand why i go back there every time. It's always the same and it will be unless someone starts doing something about it.

People who don't say glhf or anything, just "u2" once you've said something. I would rather they just said nothing.

Why are award ceremonies for ESPORTS still made so awkward outside of Korea? All foreign events including Chinese ones i've watched since the mid/early BW days have been filled with so much second hand embarrassment that nails on chalk seems pleasant by comparison.

Seems like something so easy to fix.

for me, people who think gl hf/gg are super important and a must on the ladder.

also, girls on facebook that talk like this (exact quotes):
- Im Going To Be The Last One Standing ' ♥' ; * !.
- We Were Drinkin' In The Park &' Skinny Dippin' In The Dark ♥ ' * !.
- Give Me Everything Tonight Because We Might Not Get Tomorrow ♥' ; * !.
‎- Make Me You Radio , Turn Me Up When You Are Low ; ♥ ' * !.

Yes, she put the hyphens in herself.

When people try their hardest to do/say something funny. I don't know about any of you, but I feel.. just embarrassed for them. People who play-hit you.. y'know.. "pretending" to slap your face in attempt to make you flinch, then "two for flinching!" afterwards. usrs bro? im gonna rape you.

When watching porn, and the camera guy thinks it's genius to go to the guy's ass/testicules and watch them flap. Like, wat? When in SC2, WC3, or any game alike.. "X is OP, my race is underpowered." And, I also just really really hate when people are wrong. It's fine to be wrong about something, but I hate when people are being aggressive arguing/preaching when they are totally off. All I can think of, for now.

Balance whiners.

Balance whiners who think that every unit should cost the same and be able to beat eachother ('The marauder costs less than a stalker but beats the stalker! Blizzard wtf Terran OP!')

Balance whiners who will never understand that fluctuation in win rates is perfectly natural, and leap on any brief dominance by any race as iron clad proof that the game is broken.

Balance whiners who have a go at you for being so blinded by Day[9] balance philosophy that you ignore glaring problems in the game, thus hurting ESPORTS, when in reality you just want people to stop fucking crying like children and grow up.

Oh, and all the whiners quoting Korean whiners from the netizen reaction thread like random playxp posters are some kind of authority.

- Stupid facebook groups.
- Abusive/exploiting parts of games. Those obvious ones, that could be solved with a hotfix.
- People messaging me while I'm ingame, when they know I'm busy.
- Losing tourneys in mirror matches, where you lose by retarded standards.

Or where they just show the guys face as he's coming, why do they do that on heterosexual porn!?

People who whine excessively about game balance
Blue waffles
Six year olds using voice chat in multiplayer
People who don't flush in public bathrooms
Overly religious people
Anyone in the tea party
Groupies
Porn cameramen who talk at all, unless it's a POV
When watching porn, and the camera guy thinks it's genius to go to the guy's ass/testicules and watch them flap.

Hackers (in videogames)
People who insist rap is retarded
Country music, and anything related to it
Rich people who don't think they deserve to pay taxes
People who let their five year old play call of duty
Rapists
and Women's Basketball.

I don't mean to be sexist on that last one, it's just that I don't feel that most women play hoops as well as men do.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Leaving games i could have won because i assumed i was behind.
Also people who say 'gl hf ' and then cannon rush you into your base. Same instance as the above point.
ZvZ. Especially 3 in a row.
Being overloaded with unimportant work when i have a pressing deadline.
Lack of self discipline from myself.
Making silly mistakes and not learning from previous mistakes, (and being given a hard time about it, instead of encouragement.)
When people misunderstand me or my intentions.
People who assume that since i am an artist i can do all sorts of projects for them in my 'free time' - i want to RELAX sometimes, you know?
Embassies, applying for visa's
Long queues when i am in a hurry and shop tellers are having irrelevent conversations with each other while they work.
Sexist jokes.
Alot of things really.

Work has been grinding my gears lately, fortunately I won't be here much longer. =D

-People at work who, when writing inter-office emails, use indecipherable cell phone text speak and grammar.
-The same people using comic sans for official documents.
-The "annoying quote guy" at work who has all these motivational posters in his office. Quotes printed out on copy paper taped to his walls (you can't see the bare wall at all). Every time he talks with you he has to use some random irrelevant feel-good quote.
-The company owner who sends out mass emails to everybody here with lolcats and lol youtube videos and stupid ass blog posts from places like "this is why you're fat" and "stuff white ppl like". This same guy criticized everybody else in the office for using the internet for non-work related reasons during lunch break and had social networking, youtube and blogs blocked.
-The redneck dude who yells "git er done!" and "not EEEEven!" and laughs like woody wood pecker a hundred times a day.
-The annoying quote guy again. In his mid 50s, has been perpetually single for like 10 years acts like a door mat to any of the women working here. He buys lunch for two girls who are my age (mid 20s) because they're hot. Or tries to give me dating/relationship advice, or comments on my girlfriends pictures I have on my desk in a very creepy way.
-Mr. Git Er Done asking why I don't date a white girl. Sorry dude I rarely dig corny white girls, they're often plain and boring especially in the south.
-The guy who follows his party politics as fanatically as some sports nerds follow specific teams. Anytime I see this dude in a hallway I duck into the nearest cube.

man i could go on, lol. I telling stories of BS work stuff it's kind of therapeutic in a way because they always crack me up.

People who bitch about misuse of starcraft terms, especially timing attack and All-in!
Day9 said it himself, a timing attack is just a good time to attack (could be an upgrade, or a round of units from new production facilities finishing, new tech units popping, whatever.)

and All-in - anything that MUST do damage or else you're at a serious risk of losing the game is all-in - there's no next step if you don't hurt them with your all-in.

Actually, any kind of argument over semantics really grinds my gears. Really, if a message is comprehensible, why argue over semantics?

People who board a train and stop 2 steps in so the people behind them have to push them in and they look back at you as if you're the crazy one.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.
