Quirks

[RingOtaku]

I get unnerved by people talking a different language (like around here usually Spanish) in public. It makes me want to get paranoid when I see five Mexicans walking around where I work and not a single word of English comes out of their mouths.

I always assume they're talking about me and saying mean things I don't understand.

That's why it's a good thing to learn at least a few bits of Spanish.  If you learn at least a little bit, enough to understand key words and answer back to them...they'll usually shut up and walk away. 


Fight smart. 


Bwahaha.

When I'm putting results together in my fed, everything has to be consistent. Seriously. Everything. I often stay up until 8am fixing little tiny errors in HTML. The match header has to end in a single line break, a lot of people have started doing 2 and I have to correct it. Also have to change whenever MS Word changes the quotation marks and apostrophes to it's own format... I have to put it back to a normal one so it fits the rest. I'm really anal about consistency. I wish I wasn't, but I am.

If I'm collaborating for someone else and their roleplay, I correct their errors. I don't like typos or misplaced punctuation.

I have a habit of checking the front door is locked 3 or 4 times a night. Sometimes I'll be in bed and suddenly wonder if I locked it, even though I know I did. I have to get up and check. Same with turning off the oven and the heating. I've been halfway to the bus stop and had to come back home to make sure I turned off the heating quite a few times. Almost always finding that I DID so it was a wasted trip -_-

And peeves...

I HATE the little "tear here" thingy on biscuit packets that NEVER work. I tear and the thing just rips off in my hand. They never "tear there". Stupid things.

Fed-wise, I hate people who no-sell shit, or change/dictate what happened to suit their character after it was already written in a different way. You end up reading two different sides to things and not knowing which one you should work with or mention.

Man United fans. The majority of them are arrogant bastards XD Impossible to have a football discussion with because their team is the best, all their players are the best and they have no flaws.

Haha yeah I hate folks that try to spin everything that happens in the fed to suit their own whims and make themselves look good. Though I think my favorite "efed abuse" is folks that rp as a heel (bad guy), act like a heel in all their own segs, are nowhere near the top of the card yet every time they come to the ring they get a bigger face pop than Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock put together. It's like "Dude you aren't the top guy in the fed. And you aren't FACE". Play your alignment. Also with that "undue pop" is folks that come in and act like because they were World Champ in their previous fed their first seg should have them getting that huge standing ovation pop. Seriously this isn't the Monday Night Wars and you aren't Bret Hart jumping ship.

Is it a "quirk" to never ever forget or forgive when someone does something to piss you off quite deliberately? People who bitch and whine and then duck for cover before anyone can reply to them really fuck me off. If you haven't got the courage to say whatever it is you're saying TO the person you're saying it about, then you should just STFU, IMHO. Keyboard warriors are the lowest of the low. Haha.

Also, people who run their own feds and then join someone else's just so they can bitch and whine and moan about how they don't like the way it's run are pretty fucking lame too. If their fed's so fucking awesome, why would they even need to join another one to begin with, if not just because they love the bitching and whining and moaning and throwing a fit when they don't get their own way? Makes ya wonder, doesn't it?

[Sinnybuns/Mika]

Not so much a quirk but, I get uberly frustrated when a piece I'm working on doesn't turn out the way I want it to. 

Grrr.

not my argument, no matter what's been said in the context of it, but...

because some people are unwilling to do some things with their own characters in their own feds?  for example, i personally purposefully try to keep my character/s in my fed out of the main events and out of singles title scenes and am (sssh!) getting to the point of only booking my own if it supports another player.  it's a personal and controversial decision every fedhead makes, because even if everyone inside your fed knows you earned the spot, those looking for a place to play who see that from the outside aren't likely to assume the same thing.  there's an awful lot of people out there who start an rp as a place just to push their own characters-- luckily, most of those places die off fairly soon.  most.
