It's been mentioned, but... well, people who don't know how to walk effectively and mind the limited space in a corridor really piss me off. When walking, everyone should learn to check if it's all right to stop or suddenly change direction or whatever. Not to mention avoid carrying bags that are as broad as themselves, or walking on the side of someone else. Especially in a school, where others are likely to be in quite a hurry.

(I ran into another one of those "Lifeless Losers Against Wires Coming Out of Heads" today... and on my team this time. :( Some people just wanna play the dang game right, why hog server slots just so you can repeatedly remind us you have nothing better to do with your time than going out of your way to hinder people trying to play an online video game the correct way?)

Personal opinions aside, I'm glad I don't tend to get that in-game - it's just RED vs BLU, no matter who's wearing what. I love the irony that the idler was supposed to prevent server slots being wasted, yet idlers would do just that to complain about the results of idling. That's pretty much why I never associate myself with any given vocal group of enraged individuals, preferring to argue for myself alone no matter how closely I share their sentiments - there's always a few who will just go out of their way to "spread the word" where it doesn't belong at the cost of everyone else's fun - something that definitely makes me rage.

Also I'm not so much against groups of slow people in the corridors, but if they're walking right in front of me, talking to each other like nobody else exists, holding up half a dozen people who are being too polite to tell them to move away, but very clearly irritated and often in a hurry, then I'm getting annoyed.

I use the standard iPod earphones, what's wrong with them? (aside from a propensity to break)

Propensity to break
The fact they leak sound
The fact that the sound they produce is tinny and rubbish.

For a set of earphones that are comfortable, noise-cancelling, and produce quality sound, get yourselves a set of these

I hate in-ear earphones generally but these I can cope with, and with adjustable sizes they are a fit no matter what.

I feel odd recommending earphones but these are just that damn good, I actually met someone at college who had a set, I pointed out I had the same and we then discussed how awesome they are and how we recommend them to people which we don't normally do.

Anyway... weird recommendation over...

Given that I'm on my second pair of headphones after the first ones broke, you may be onto something there.
I'll give it a look next time I'm at JB Hi Fi, but I don't think it'll be a priority, given I can still get sound out of them, and because I listen to podcasts, not music, quality doesn't matter too much. And I don't turn them up really loud so noise leakage is not a problem I've had

Facestabs.

Medics who heal one person only, ever.

players who go "LOL pwned" when they get a revenge kill half an hour later, when you have 2hp. It's not the fact that they got the revenge, but that they think they're better than you now because they caught you off gaurd with under 10hp.

Players rage quitting because you dominate them. I can't get more than 6 or 7 dominations at a time, because my dominated players systematically leave as i get more. Well, i suppose it doesn't annoy me that much as that's just my vanity over stats, but it'd be nice to find out how many people i can legitimately dominate at once without rage quitters.

People who are obviously morbidly obese but deny it. I mean no offence to them but.. you're fat. Why can't you see that?

People who are skinny but think they're fat.

and loads more..
