I'm pretty sure this one's already been mentioned, but when someone uses extravagant language to sound smart while not exactly addressing the point or question at all.

That's called pretty talk and in my years of debate I came to fucking hate it.

Yeah, I've encountered this in both political and role playing and it is seriously annoying, especially as they always act so pretentious even when you call them out.

Oh yeah, in both roleplaying and political/literary debates I have come to despise it. Like, bish I have a big vocab too, the only thing you're flexing is your inability to actually address an argument in a proper way.
Roleplaying doesn't make me quite as irritated unless the person is arrogant because so many times I have come across someone who uses pretty language and makes many posts but they lack substance which always turns me off the RP.

I'm sorry if I somehow angered you, but that was the least of my intentions.

I'm not angry, it's just irritating to read. It's like having some kid come up to you and sound off; regardless of whether they've got a point your first thought is just "oh shut up you little brat".

I suppose that's fine. I won't pursue this further.

Prepare to feel the weight of your immaturity.
Meh, going to sum this up to people that can't grow. This covers all my basis.Those, who take what I say too seriously. Those, who don't respect my space or my things, family or friends. I suppose those also who have a flaming ego. Although, it just all cycles back to those people that can't grow and develop as a person.

My next peeve will be explained with a storyline with opinion.
Imagine a guy wanting to join the military to contribute or be patriotic to their country, then they get thrusted into a room to play video games. Now it can train the mind, so maybe it's not that bad.
Now imagine they get charges for not taking the game seriously, as if it was a real life scenario. Something only VR can truly get right with a haptic suit and vest. You know, so if you get shot once, then fall you fail RPer.
That actually happened. They used laptops, so I'm guessing they're perfectly cool with their soldier's body and all besides arms going into disuse making em less effective anyway. Though in reality they still probably moved about after it all, but knowing the UK who knows.
In short, it irks me when someone takes something like that, and treats it more seriously than applicable. It's not like they're using onmi-mill and a full VR body suit and headset. At least then I could see a justification for it. You're exercising, so you're training mind and body with the least possible resources. I'm just wondering what a cyber-medic would do when some guy's entire torso dislocates and implodes. VR training has got to be far superior to sitting on your ass with a laptop for three weeks. At least simulators would be more accurate. Now introducing hell mode, where one good shot and you're dead, and every single lever, screw, and hair particle has to be interacted with to operate anything. [Unironically though, making a WW dark souls is probably the superior way of going about using it to train for remotely anything. Adds incentive to pay attention and get good.]

I really hate when people make plots but they basically make a script.
"Muse A meets Muse B. They fall in love but Muse B has to leave! He comes back and they fall in love! He gets his heart broken. They have to go to college." And then that's it, that's the plot. (Just an example)
It kind of eliminates creative freedom for me because you've already decided everything that's going to happen in the RP. It's a script... you want me to play a script for you and my own characters personal motivations or personality traits are less important...
I think RP plots do better for me when a background is given and a goal, not everything in between.

- People wanting everything and anything explained in a story that is irrelevant or left for the reader to imagine.
- People reaching out to you for help, but if you need help, you're SOL.
- When the cabinet doors are left wide open.
- Candies in Valentine boxes being mixed.... and there's only one milk chocolate while the rest are just plain nasty.
- Rude people in groceries stories that don't understand the meaning of manners, politeness, and distance (not just because of COVID).
- People getting upset that others speak with a large vocabulary, vocabulary of which they are not accustomed to. That or people who get upset if a person's tone comes across cross just because they didn't use a bunch of emojis or whatever.
- People using depression and etc. like it's a fashion trend. Yes, having depression/anxiety/etc is so cool and fun.

My pet peeve would definitely be people who over-cherish physical objects. I have a family history full of hoarders.
I am not going to say every parent is the best because there are some who are just lousy but then there are the ones who or were great. My peeve is when kids of all ages are downright disrespectful to their parents. They take them for granted and complain about them not doing enough.
For those of us who have lost our parents and would love to have them here, it's really appalling. Seriously, shut the eff up the next time you want to call your mom a bitch and she's giving you a roof over your head.

I hate it when it's done just for the sake of finding things to moan about, but you don't know the personal situation (although if it's not a genuine problem it should really be vented at friends instead of at the parent). For example there's been times when I've complained about my mother to other people and made some rather disrespectful comments. Does it come across as stupid, selfish and rather petty? To those that don't know the situation, quite possibly yes. But to those that know the situation? They say she's lucky I'm not screaming abuse at her and burning her house down.
But I do hate general argumentativeness, sassiness and kids who are just trying to start a row. I work in kids and the amount of times I want to say to the parents that their little brats don't deserve new things is insane, but I'm meant to be selling them the products, not encouraging them to leave.
