Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

Mac/Ipod users who look down on alternatives with sneery disdain without having a clue what they're talking about.

London - I live here, but the place drives me crazy. Nowhere else in England could you get away with such rudeness. Why are people so rude and pushy? Their lives are no more important than everyone elses in the country but most Londoners act as if the world revolves around them. They push in the tube, they drive like nutters, are rude to you in shops and stroll across the road at random. The place is insane.

Also, the beer is ****.

It must be that crazy accent of yours, sticks out like a sore thumb

They love it! Brings some excitment into their dreary lives. Women want to be with me and men want to be me!

* People who insist on using the Japanese names for the SF bosses and/or who call Ryu Ree-yu. You cocky gits.

I'm guilty of the latter. I used to call him "Rye-oo" until I heard Dave "Games Animal" Perry say "Ree-yu" on Gamesmaster. Not the best person to follow as an example, with hindsight...

I just pronounce it the Japanese way (Ree-yu, りゅ), because that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. 'course I called him 'Rai-yu' back in the SF2 days just like everyone else.

That's not fair!

Dave Perry

Dave Perry rocks. That's the best excuse for calling him ree-yuu ever, and for that I cannot fault your pronunciation, my good sir

You had to go and type the kana, didn't you? You got it wrong, btw. Not so smug now, are we?

It seems to me the people who first played SF2 in the arcades are much more likely to call him Rye-yuu, whereas those who started playing it on the SNES call him ree-yuu


Also, these little irks are getting progressively larger as the thread goes on

I work in IT, and it irks me when people assume this means I will know all about their mobile phone.

Also, as some may already know, I make my own music (experimental electronica) and it is a gargantuan irk when, upon mentioning this to someone for the first time, they say something along the lines of "So... you're a DJ then, yeah?". No, you fool, I said I make my own music, I never said anything at all about playing records.

I say Rye-uu, do i win a prize

[importaku]

Parents who dont control their kids in public. No matter where you are theres always someone with their screaming noisy crotch fruit which is screaming the place down & the parent just sits there totally oblivious to the fact.

If i ran public transport i'd make sure every kid was ballgagged to shut them up before they got on.

[nakamura]

My kid hardly ever cries in public so it proof it can be controlled easy.
