    On this one forum I was the first brony ever and usually had ponies in my threads. Then some other guy came months after and got popular. Now everyone thinks I'm a wannabe and I'm just copying him.

    NOW, people look at my OC and think I'm copying some guy named ABluSkittle and are calling me a copycat. Really pisses me off.

    I hate everyone.

    MLP Forums is a rabidly homophobic site; I stopped posting there a couple of years ago. I didn't get banned, but I was harassed and had my posts censored after standing up to the overt homophobia of a religious fundamentalist (trolling squadrons also quickly came to the aid of the fundamentalist when I stood up to him). The arbitrary ban of which you speak doesn't surprise me, as such methods are the logical conclusion of the corruption that has been going on at that site for years.

    I have always been irritated at people who deride GLOCK pistols for reasons that aren't even related to their performance. Typically, this boils down to traditionalists not liking the polymer frame or people disliking GLOCK pistols simply because they aren't a US design (they are Austrian).

    People who think "You" is spelt "u", and think "Are" is spelt "r".
    People who constantly type in Caps Lock.

    These people irritate me to no end.

    Kind of reminds me of a couple of years or so back on that forum when I finally admitted to myself again (long story) that was I was an atheist. One time when I was vocal about that fact and made it clear that I believe organized religion does more harm than good (but never even remotely implied I would restrict any freedom to anybody to have and practice said beliefs) I was randomly singled out by one member with a long post just bashing me and my character. I remember clearly it comparing me to Hitler and Stalin, saying that I would be just like them if I was in a seat of power.

    That post got more than enough likes to be considered a "Top Post".

    That did not reflect all too well upon the community for me.

    I haven't experienced much of any homophobia on that site, so I actually don't know what you're referring to there? I've seen it far worse in staff on other forums, where topics would "randomly" get locked when said staff entered a debate on same-sex marriage and got politely defeated.

    Anyway, OT: Chewing gum annoys me. It's gross, and people's habits with it only make it worse. Sticking it in random places, or even just temporarily placing it out on something for them to later put it back in their mouth. EW.

    Oh, I can write a letter longer than Twilights checklists.

    Seriously though, the things that annoys me is the following:
    People abusing the word "Gay" ( Watching MLP as a guy is Gay, dancing is Gay etc ), kids with Iphones, kids with Facebook, the Danish language ( Don't ask me why, don't know o_O ), homophobiacs and then the last but not the smallest, people who changes their apperance and personaliy after what's "up" ( These people trying to be "cool ).

    The way people use the word ******.
    I just don't understand how it became associated with homosexuals.

    I'm not even a big fan of them, but how on earth did it become an insult? What the hell's happening to our language?

    The last time I checked the word translates to "bundle of sticks", which to me does make sense how it got connected to male homosexuality. lol.

    Still, I always laugh when I hear it because being a bassoon player, I see that term all of the time in orchestra music... As that's the translation for bassoon in at least some of the languages of composers.

    It makes much more sense to describe my instrument than it does male homosexuality, and especially the general LGBT community (including crossdressers). But whatever - people will be people. Their ignorance runs much deeper, making me not care so much about their ignorance of terminology.

    Using that word to refer to homosexuals is so outdated. Now it's best used to refer to annoying Harley riders.

    So I was doing some research and found this:
    The American slang term is first recorded in 1914, the shortened form *** shortly after, in 1921. Its immediate origin is unclear, but it is based on the word for "bundle of sticks", ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis.


    The word ****** has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women, and reference to homosexuality may derive from this, as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "******-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meagre living by gathering and selling firewood.[10] It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word baggage as a pejorative term for old people in general).


    An alternative possibility is that the word is connected with the practice of *squee!*ging in British private schools, in which younger boys performed (potentially sexual) duties for older boys, although the word ****** was never used in this context, only ***. There is a reference to the word ****** being used in 17th century Britain to refer to a "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster", but there is no known connection with the word's modern pejorative usage.

    I hate when:

    1: when Some-pony/one uses a word to many times in one sentence.
    2: When Someone/pony needs to be constantly praised or looked up to
    3: When Some-pony/one Thinks they are better people/pony when they havent something some-one/pony else doesn't have.

    My hair, moments when I have to explain something which means it's gonna be a while, alarm clocks, school, chores, my procrastination, small parts of my art that i want to fix but cant, people who talk so "txt"y that it seems like they're just throwing their keyboard around, Pervs Bots and Pervbots on Omegle, sometimes Autocorrect, sometimes my phone, one of my brothers, young kids who are spoiled/brats/having a fit/etc., stupid problems these days in the world, (just honestly) sometimes gay people, when you have to aim the remote at a very precise angle or nothing works, being outside, when I want to eat more but I can't, getting the Internet and TV taken away, and so forth. Wow that got a lot off of my chest.

    I can't say I am pleased that firearms from the Kalshnikov Concern have been banned from importation into the USA via an executive order:

    http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/OFAC-Enforcement/Pages/20140716.aspx

    From the source above:

    Izhmash (manufacturer of Saiga rifles and shotguns) is part of the Kalashnikov Concern.

    A pet peeve of mine that drives me slightly insane is people who have no concept of time.

    If I say I'm going to be somewhere at 2:00 you can bet cash money I'll be there a good 10 minutes early.

    People that roll up 30-40 minutes late make me want to Hulk out hardcore.

    People stealing my photos and descriptions on eBay. This one guy even had the nerve to claim that he took the pictures. What's worse is that eBay is refusing to help. How annoying.
