Just thought of something new that annoys me:

Bumping up old threads. In a thread's life, it's created, discussed in, and eventually forgotten. But at the oddest moments, they suddenly come back up, maybe because someone's looking through pages 24-45 or whatnot, maybe because someone wants to up their post count. But it just annoys me sometimes when we see old threads just suddenly come back, and we gotta wonder, "What the hell wasn't said 6 months ago that we have to bring back the thread just so one person can say something again?" Now, I'm all for saving bandwidth and everything, but please, can we NOT bump up old threads to rehash in one post what was already said in the thread? Whenever I go on the boards and suddenly see a thread I haven't seen before, I expect to click it and find something new. But all too often, I see a title unfamiliar to me, click it, and see that the thread was started as far back as a year ago.

Well, lots of things annoy me. Here's a list.

Pop songs that end just by fading out
I mean how lame is that? It's like the writers just can't think how to end what they've started. Just repeat the chorus a few times, lowering the volume. Terrible. Give us a good definitive ending. A final drum beat or something.

The Daily Mail
A UK newspaper with the sole purpose of stirring things up. Often for no reason, or against their own policy - they quite happily contradict themselves for the sake of "sensation". I hate it.

People who don't appreciate "history"
I put the history in quotes, because I don't actually mean earth-shattering events from the past (although there's a lot of people who don't actually know that history either) but I mean inconsequential little things.

People who don't know that a recent pop song is a cover version of a huge hit from the 60s or 70s. People who ignore and write-off black and white movies. People who watch all of Hollywood's recent remakes but refuse to even consider watching the original films. People who don't appreciate how these originals have influenced what they are watching or listening to today.

Reality TV Shows
Firstly, because they're not. Point a camera at anyone and the last thing you will record is actual reality. Secondly, because they are nothing more than cheap fillers. Why spend all of the time and effort to cast a large ensemble of actors, script their lines, design the sets and direct the scripts when you can just pick a couple of people and send a TV crew down to their house or whatever. Reality TV will be the death of all creativity.

Turning cartoons into live action movies
Why? Isn't a cartoon good enough? I don't think I can name any such movie that has been 100% successful at capturing the strengths and feel of the original (and I include superhero movies like Spider-Man in this category too – does making it live action really help? We all know such super-powers are pure fantasy, so do real actors in silly costumes really help us "suspend our disbelief"?)

Revenge of the Cybermen [Doctor Who]
Sorry, but its just crap. I re-watched it again recently after having a conversation about it, and it was just as bad as I remembered. The worst Dr Who story ever (and yes, before you ask, I do actually think The Happiness Patrol is very good, and yes, Delta and the Bannermen is head and shoulders above Revenge of the Cybermen. Hell, even Silver Nemesis is better. If anyone apart from "I am the Doctor" cares about my views :D)

About videogames:

Extremely long replayabilty: Of course when I buy a game what I like the most is to have more things to do/find after I completed it but please be real. Don't make those things last twice the time what the original game lasted.

Bad videogames: All vdeogames can't be masterpieces. And they won't ever be. But please at least you can make good ones or playable ones.

Extremely hard videogames: Nobody wants/likes a game that is too easy. But don't make it impossible either where you feel frutrated by them. You just want to have fun.

Neverending games: Games in which the makers didn't know how to finish them and the idea they came up with was by adding lots of stuff before reaching the end (like having to repeat the boss fights, interminable boss fights [Kingdom Hearts had 11 bosses in a row], or way too long boss fights [I have one in which there are 3 stages to the fight: one lasts like 20 minutes, the second part probably the same time or more and still haven't reached the third stage... wonder why]


Bad/ short endings: It seems when they do a game the last important thing is the ending. I don't know about you but when I spend so many hours in a game and have to really sweat to finish it, I'd like to see a long and satisfying ending. If we expect that out of a movie that lasts 1:30 more so for a game that lasts more than 20:00.

Prices: Why they keep on selling games (for the most part) at such high prices ($50) and let's not talk about controllers, memory cards and more... I'd like to see them at $30. It's a resonable price and I'm sure they would double the sales.

I have some new ones,

- People who are against Harry Potter because it deals with witchcraft, yet then turn around and watch a movie like Sleeping Beauty, any of the Halloweentown movies, or Lord of the Rings.

- Aggreing with most of you, people who like pan and scan because they are "annoyed" by the widescreen black bars. For some movies, the black bars are what gives the movie it's feel.

- People who never shut up

-Jeff Gordon

- Bad DVD releases of current films. I'm sure if the producers put just a little effort into bonus features, we could get some great DVD's. It suprises me that Disney can get numerous bonus features for a film 70 years old, while Garfield: The Movie , gets an unbearably slim rlease.

-At school, presentations by people who were in world war two. most of the time, I'm stuck sitting in a very uncomfortable position with no way to get in a remotely comfortable one. And the presentor is so old, that they lose track of what in God's name they were talking about.

- People who label Lord of the Rings as the greatest movie trilogy ever made.

- People who make a movie like Super Size Me, where they go on about something we already know. Every body knows fast food is bad for you. We don't need a documentary to tell us that. Who on earth is going to eat McDonalds for every three meals a day anyway? All he ended up doing is giving McDonalds a hard time.

yeah, LOTRs is one entire movie spread into three separate releases...

but it IS one of the greatest films ever made.

Hmmm....

- When you are walking in the crowded hallway at school (which is too crowded because the student population has passed maximum capacity) and people are walking slowly, suddenly stop in front of you, congregate in groups to the side, but the groups grow and grow into the center, etc.

- People who say "they're different and rebellious" b/c they want to be, but they're really not and they're just like the group that's "different and rebellious." I mean back then they had movies and tv shows where everyone wanted to be part of the popular crowd. Now, they're are people who want to be like those who have wardrobes by Hot Topic.

- People who don't dress up on Halloween because they're embarassed. For crying out loud, that's the one day that you can wear (appropriately) whatever the heck you want and everyone will either laugh WITH you or not care at all.

- Like everyone else, people who think animation and Disney movies are just for kids

- People who hate sequels when they haven't seen the movie yet or people who hate sequels just because they are a sequel.

- Hearing about the ending to a movie or book.

- When there are dents you can't fix on the plastic gallon milk jugs.

- Any computer problem. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but sometimes I click on a link and suddenly the whole window (and all the other windows you have on the toolbar) disappears.

- Pop-up adds (especially the ones that make noise or open another ad when you close one)

- E-mails with sob stories about someone leaving a fortune to no one and the e-mailer sender says they'll share the money with you if you give them your personal information.

- People who complain a tad too much

- People who denounce other people behind their backs.

- Political commercials that just complain about the other candidate and say nothing of what's good about the candidate they are for.

- Bratz Dolls

- Depressing poetry. Some of them are really really good poetry with great poetic devices, etc. but when you read like a million to decide what to publish for the school literary magazine, you get sick of the stuff and scream when the next one you read about someone crying about they're boy/girlfriend.

- Crap fanfiction.

- People at school who hate school and don't want to be there and ruin the experience of education for everyone else.

Oh, no, no, I don't hate you! :oops:

I just hate that you feel the best way you can contribute to UD is by topic-bumping.

Also, it's a problem I have at some other boards (namely with a poster at SON named "stephenfan" who feels he/she needs to have his/her name on every topic, so he/she posts in ever single topic, regardless whether it's an old post, a new post, etc. He/she just does it to up his/her post count and it annoys the hell out of me, as he/she never really says anything of importance there).

1. Noisy neighbors (television, music, video games, yapping on the phone, sex moans, intermittent thumping on the walls)

2. Smelly classmates. Including people who don't shower everday, people who don't do laundry often enough, and people who wear the same clothes every single day.

3. People who don't clean up after themselves and leave the kitchen and/or bathroom a mess.

I just thought of something. People who block the exit to the bus or subway train. Some people outside stand right in front of the door when the door is opening. :x I have to say "excuse me" while I try to walk through/ past the people blocking the exit. Apparently, they don't think that people are exiting the train. Ug..

People who talk on the telephone in a library. Eww.

Yeah, the sounds of love... for the people making it not for anybody else.

If you like those kind of sounds good for you. But I don't think most people feel comfortable or go to sleep with a smile having to hear those sounds while you try to sleep or or to awaken by them.
