    Excuse me but I'll have you know that a few AH clicks would be a mere ripple in the sea of hits that an OutlawPete vid receives.

    Why I'm nothing short of an internet sensation I tell ya.

    Second only to 'Leave Britney alone' :P


    I know most of those 3176 views are from you!

    I have a few things that I find annoying about going online

    The elitist gamers when playing online games who think they're so brilliant and then sh!t on the other gamers who aren't as great and ridicule them by calling them noobs. I'm happy to say i've never called anyone a noob when playing online, and I'm a pretty good gamer.

    Youtube posters

    She finished it in 3 months? Jesus, is she in Farmville rehab now? Some of my friends have been looking after their's for what seems like years. One of them asked me to feed her f*cking sheep or something when she was on holidays!

    someone i know asked me to do that as well....


    the sheep died.

    apparantly i also was partly responsible for someones death in mafia wars, even though i have never played that either

    What annoys me most online is those god damned captcha images!!!

    Just bought tickets on Ticketmaster and near had a nervous breakdown with the things. Seven of them I went through.

    Surely there is a better way to find out if I'm a human.

    Look at this ffs:

    ...

    So, anyway .. what rattles your cage online?

    That one is quite tame TBH, you should see them on their highest settings :D

    The funny thing is most of the still mostly legible ones like below can be cracked by computers at this stage :D

    People who leave one-liners supporting a specific pairing on every YouTube episode for a particular series "Character A X Character B forever!"

    Like on the Storm Hawks vids morons who go "Aerrow X Piper 4evah!" and nothing else in their post.

    FFS, I can't stand it when someone does it for a pairing I support let alone one I can't stand (like Scott/Chloe in SGU)



    Also morons like !Hello-Uh-AHCRAP in this thread

    Those stupid pop-up ads used to get on my wick. Fortunately most public computers i've been using block them out. And they almost never pop up on my mobile phone.

    Penis

    Ugh, don't get me started on those twunts who post close-ups of their ugly cocks on Deviant Art.
    You have a penis, you think it's beautiful, we get it, now **** off

    I posted this in R&R before but the one of the things that annoys me most on the internet is those girls who think they look really cool/hot/sexy while doing some retarded-looking pout in their social networking profile picture.

    Exhibit A

    It's Iranian Skanger time! She's wearing a bra in her pic, how classy...

    Another thing that winds me the fcuk up is people on YouTube who put a popular title in their video and make the video screencap match.

    Then when you click on it some prick says:

    "Hi there, In know your looking for the 'Kayne West / Taylor Swift' video but here's my opinion.

    NOBODY WANTS YOUR FCUKING OPINION YOU LOSERS!!!

    Trying to find information on the internet can still be infuriating sometimes. We tend to think everything can be found online so when it can't be found it's frustrating. Especially if you suspect it's there, just hiding somewhere.

    Not to mention once you find what your looking for, can you trust the source.

    What I really hate are people who come over all teeny with an over zealous use of exclaimation marks! You know, after every line! In every post! OMG! Like I'm doing right now!

    Because, like, y'know, they're just so cheerful! And perky! And fun!


    It gives me eye-ache. You just know that in real life, they dot their i's with little hearts.

    Those annoying viagra and enhance your penis size emails. Wish my girlfriend would stop forwarding them to me.


    Also the "beware, Joe Murphy, a convicted paedophile is on Facebook" emails.

    Dear Sir,

    My name is Mr Xin Chao, and I am the president of the Federal Bank of Hong Kong. A customer of our bank recently died and we have traced you as his nearest relative. You have been left the sum of €200,000,000 (TWO HUNDRED MILLION EURO). Please send me your name, address, bank account number and sort code and I can start the process of sending you the money.

    Yours etc,
    Mr Xin Chao
    stupidname@yahoo.hk


    Fuck off. I have no relatives in Hong Kong, and even if i did, i wouldn't send you my fucking bank details. Now fuck off and leave me alone.

    Also, I did not enter the Spanish, Canadian, Nigerian or any other lottery, so you can stop offering me the fucking prizes.

    I mean come on, how stupid do they think people are. What bank official has a fucking yahoo web address :mad:

    /rant

    there is more but i feel adding them would detract from this post's impact

    when your on your own watching porn and your "finished" you close the page and *poof* it shuts down immediately

    but

    when theres people in the house and you try to pop off a sneaky one. you hear footsteps downstairs you stop to make sure.yep sh1t someones coming. you click the x and lo and behold it stops bloody working. you frantically pound the x as the footsteps get closer and it still wont close . the doorknob turns you slam the laptop shut just in time and you try your best to not( even though you blatantly do) look suspicious.

    *rant over*

    Facebook / Bebo / Twitter................seriously, get a life and stop thinking people honestly give a shìt how "unique" you are. Stop stealing quotes from philosophers on google and posting it on your page as if you're somehow of a higher intelligence than the rest of your imaginary 300 friends!!

    Relentless pop-ups that cripple your system to a standstill.

    Youtube player being one of the most unreliable pieces of software I've ever seen. "Oooh, I like that bit, I'll just rewind 5 seconds................why has my browser crashed............oh wow, my computer has come to a halt!!"

    Stupid internet meme's, what the fùck is this shìt, MTV? If it's circulated on websites then it MUST be cool and funny, now join the bandwagon and link it to your profile / sig / photo album before it quickly dies out and is taken over by another stupid meme.

    People calling other people "n00bs!!". That shìt really grinds my gears and makes me wanna knock every tooth out of the spotty anti-social kid on the other end. Ironically, these whiny pricks are probably "n00bs" when it comes to pulling wimmen!

    The fact that people out there will actually follow people's pathetic video-blogs................seriously, how does somebody talking about "kooky" things get a million-plus views while actual events in the world are kept to the thousands? Madness!

    Elitism, the fact that google is at our fingertips everyone is a smartass because instead of real conversation they have time to research their response to minimise the PWNS!!

    GRRRR!!!!!
