    This. THIS ****ing grinds my gears.

    It's ****ing ridiculous, unfortunately it won't be getting better any time soon. So many things that could be said about this, so many ways to derail this thread.

          Somebody put a note on this forum so I don't try and read before 7 AM. It rarely goes well. But I did see Eurotrip again the other day so it was relevant.

            Kid got suspended for pointing his finger and saying pow. He is 6.
            My little cousin who was 8 I believe at the time, got suspended last year for something similar. The teacher put a picture of a deer on a powerpoint or something like that and my cousin went "Cchhh Cchhh Boom" and acted like he was pumping and shooting an imaginary shotgun at the deer on the screen.

            I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I mean it's bad enough for a kid to get suspended for throwing an imaginary grenade or for pointing a finger at someone and saying bang, but at a picture of a deer? It wasn't like that was threatening to anyone in class, schools are ridiculous today.

              People who over complicate 4 way stops.

              You guys know what I'm talkin about

              Person who:

              takes forever to come to a stop.

              person sitting at stop all ready watching you approach it from hundreds of feet away only to wait for you to completely stop and then go.

              person who clearly stopped first, but insists on waving you on, taking even more time

              person who tries to race you to the stop.

              person who stopped last out of three cars and then tries to go first and then stops on middle of the 4way after the correct person goes

              I could list a few more I'm sure.

                  Pressing Pepsi on a vending machine for it to spit out Pepsi Next.

                  If I wanted to drink an abomination of a soda, I would drink Coca Cola without alcohol in it.

                  Pepsi has to quit the unnecessary experimenting.

                    Well that I kind of understand more so then any of the other ones, it's one thing to just mess around on the playground but it's pretty obvious the kid knows what guns are doing in that occasion.

                    All of these are stupid regardless, but I guess i'm being trained too much to look at it from the school's/teacher perspective as one of the biggest things schools want to do is make sure kids know guns aren't toys, etc. which is a losing battle with all the video games, TV shows, etc.

                          And then ask you how to do the same exact task the following week.

                            Reading old threads, seeing lots of pink names, and not being able to trace back to the reason they were banned. I don't know why it bugs me so much but I even made a thread about it in Steve's forum once lol. I just want a way to see why users were banned, and not just the red card click, because if a post was deleted (or a user was banned for a different reason), there is no card to click. Just put a note in their arena or something

                              Having a coworker who expects you to help her with every thing, and than you ask her to do something because you're going to be out of the office for 2 or 3 hours, come back and said thing isn't done and she says "Sorry, it was just too hot for me to get up".

                              **** you.

                                People who flock to the sports forums when news of the up coming game come that love to get mouthy, but yet the other 11 1/2 months out the year you don't ever see their name in the forums. One of the two always happen:

                                A) Person goes in every new news information thread and say this game is garbage, death to the exclusive license blah blah blah. I'm not buying this game this year for the 2nd or 3rd year in a row.

                                B) Person goes in every news information thread and say this game is the best game ever. They made tons of improvements this year. I normally don't post on here, but omg you guys are so whiney, IT IS JUST A VIDEO GAME. I'm not too picky blah blah blah, I love this series and I already pre-ordered blah blah blah. Then they go out of their way to defend the game in EVERY THREAD as though they are getting paid to do so.

                                Weird thing is, both groups of people call the other highly annoying. When in reality to me anyway, they both are highly annoying because they aren't forum regulars and ONLY show up when new news come out to puff out their chest of why they love or hate the game.

                                It is though some people on OS just love to argue and debate just for the sake of doing it. State your piece and move on. No need to post several times in one thread alone of why you are or aren't buying the game. And it is definitely no need to repeat yourself in multiple threads arguing with the same group of people were in arguing with in previous threads.

                                Got to the point now I just read and leave. Be thinking to myself who the hell are all these new mouthy people who I don't ever see in the forum the other 11 1/2 months out the year. Just crazy they don't say nothing at all the rest of the year, but new news come out, they want to get mouthy and become concerned gamers all of a sudden.
