Pet Peeves Thread - Little things that REALLY annoy you

[Laharl Monthy]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Science Pet Peeves :

- When people try to get on the RnD Terminal when you are already on it. Goddamn it, people, don't you see I'm trying to do research here?! Hell, I don't even have the thing researched sometime, give it time! It's the kind of thing that makes me think about just setting up a secondary RnD Terminal...

- When I see new blood showing up in Science, saying "I don't know how to do X". If you want to science, you gotta be willing to learn how to handle at least one section of the lab : RnD is just a bleeding shopping list, Xenobio is just a matter of getting red slimes ASAP for easy mutation (and hope you get upgraded by RnD), and Toxins...Well, okay, Toxins can take a bit for newcomers. Telescience to a lesser extent, it is fairly rare to see this department being setup.

- How Remote Xenobio is on Meta. It's a low maintenance job, so I can work on RnD while the slimes are munching monkeys - but goddamn you have to go through so many doors on Meta between the Lab and the Xenobio section, it's not even funny.

- In case of blob, stop pressuring the bloody scientist for research, they're doing their best : as long as they get mats and shotguns, they'll be fine, they don't need you breathing down their neck.

People who act terrible as an assistant and then feel like because you're security, you're not allowed to brig/execute them because they technically didn't break space law. Nope, out the airlock you go.

Honestly If they're breaking into secure areas then I kill them, caps office, armoury and engine room contain a lot of real risky shit, if they lack agood explanation why they're in there then they're getting spaced.

I was talking about the people who think its a fun prank to slip officers during a chase, lube hallways, etc

[Wyzack]

Lube for no reason is a priority shuttle to "getting beaten to death by the angry detective" town

New one on the antag spectrum, antags the act conceided for muh murder rp.

When people lube all the floors. for no reason. When they'e not clown, mime or antag.

[Fiz Bump]

when somebody has their intent set to not-help and keeps bumping into you in a 1 tile wide corridor. then you say "intent" or something and instead of fixing their intent they skip escalation and start relentlessly punching you to death.

Maybe people just want to punch you to death

would make sense if they were a regular but this happens with no-name off the pub shitters

rarely works out for them though. last time this happened i was by coincidence carrying a backpack full of sand. i hurled it into their eyes until they went blind

Do we actually have pocketsand

[PKPenguin321]

yeah i coded it just get sand (or ash dust or whatever the lavaland equivalent is) and throw it at somebody. it doesnt work if they have glasses or a mask/hat that covers the eyes

People who play HoP as Assistant with all-access hunting for free loot. Then ask you for reasons to get Maint access.

People who play HoP as Assistant with all-access hunting for free loot. Then ask you for reasons to get Maint access.

• No last name
• HoPcurity
• Tools and insuls
• Captain's headset

Yep, this picture has it all

[Anonmare]

To be honest, I prefer playing HoP as a fake captain. If there is no captain, I go into their quarters, dress up in their clothes, get myself a loyalty implant, edit the spare ID so my name's on it and paint my PDA gold.

After that I just act like I've always been captain and nobody ever questions me about it, even if they saw me run down the halls as the HoP.

Plus the cap's gloves and exosuits are superior to most of sec's equipment (The gloves have fire and shock immunity for example).

[BeeSting12]

I like arresting HoPs who run into security like they own the place. Nothing feels better than hearing "B-but I have access, I'm allowed here."

[Reece]

Or any other head of staff really, had one CE once who kept trying to hack in to get a laser gun because 'X is a traitor, I need a gun for it' who didn't seem to get that he didn't have the right to hack into the armoury, culminating in me just brigging the bastard after a long argument.
Last words he gave me before I dropped him in a ten minute sentence.
"You bucklecuffed me, a sign of shitcurity"

[Malkevin]

Its funny that bucklecuffing is one of the things that some people see as wrong without knowing why it was wrong in the first place.

Back on ancient goon code you couldn't resist out of cuffs, so you'd be glued to your bed forever until someone remembered about you.
A completely outdated concept nowadays.

This is actually why organized crime don't even rat their enemies in real life.

This is what happened one time and it was probably the only fun gang round i had.

May as well suicide at that point.

That sounds like a great story! How did you avoid your gangsters targeting eachother, though?

I've got more!

People who literally cannot spell when they are playing.
Grunts who assume that the Heads are supposed to do all the work
People who decide to construct their fine autism fort in the middle of a cramped hallway.
Engineers who can't set up the engine and spend the entire shift cutting wires and replacing them with different colored ones
Chefs who exist to chase one guy around the station for the entire shift
Chaplains who act as if they have free reign to execute a man for the gods
Jason Smith
Weeblords in deadchat who complain that the traitor didn't RP enough
People who don't set last names :IE Luck, Chance, James... ETC ETC.
Scientists who don't give something in return for minerals or crates.
Jackasses who act all tough and mighty then claim someone was cheating when they get dunked
Traitors who feel the need to go the extra mile and cut off the heads of their victims
People who KNOW full and well that doing ERP is banned but do it anyways because "lol no rulez r-right guys?"
Bartenders who don't set up drinks on the counters for a nice display.
The fact that personal closets serve no purpose whatsoever and no one can open them
People who feel the need to sing over comms during a tense moment
When TComms goes down for the entire shift because no one knows how to look up a guide
Roundstart Vacant Expressions

I have PLENTY more to go around

[PKPenguin321]

so apparently there's a new thing where at roundstart as engineer you steal the hand teleporter then set a beacon at cargo then sell the PA to cargo for some god forsaken reason?

this happened once when i was CE and boy it rustled me hard. i did end up killing the engineer and going to borg him, but the cheeky fuck just taunted me as a brain with no remorse. didn't even capitalize his sentences. i just threw his brain in the disposals grinder.

jesus christ some people

[peoplearestrange]

also "ahelps go t-to adminbus g-guys! i s-swear!"

I know this was awhile back. But they genuiely do now if there are no admins on, or admins are afk/don't have +BAN (i.e. coders).

"Someone did something that could be vaguely construed as bad."

"No. Our only option is to brutally murder them and ensure that they can never be cloned."

Security is fucking useless, except when they are fighting antags and getting valids, and they should never be relied on.

[BeeSting12]

When hubbies play command roles. Just had a captain who didn't talk at all, so I demoted him. When he finally did talk, it was "Hi " I ahelped but never got a response.

[D&B]

One of the things i hate the most during mining:

Don't take stuff you didn't kill/mine. Holy shit, had a miner a few days ago taking the goliath plates from a tendril I cleared alone. Their excuse? "Sorry I'm unrobust."

That's easily the best way to get shot and then cuffed with cable and thrown in maint with no ID.

Some people deserve it, you know. Especially when it's clear they have no intention of stopping, or that security can't be relied on.

Entirety of genetics. Every time someone too competent works on it, the entire crew becomes telekinetic all-seeing hulks in twenty minutes.

[Slignerd]

Lack of a captain's hardsuit bothers me. It leads to stuff like this:

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Wear your own damn space-suit and stop being a nerd

[Slignerd]

For starters, it's not me.

Then, there's the fact that captain's space suit has no tesla protection that CMO, RD, CE or HoS, security, atmos or engineering hardsuits get when coupled with insulated gloves. No built-in lights, either. Why would Captain's space suit be worse than literally everything else.

[Malkevin]

because code reasons.

Because its a throwback to the days when the captains stuff all looked fancy and neat and was actually kind of shit, instead of being flat-out better than the rest.

Also the proliferation of hardsuits is kinda dumb, but people would cry if the extraneous ones were taken away and replaced with normal space suits now.
(I'm pretty sure only engineering-type hardsuits get tesla protection actually. Tesla protection is also mostly moot now that it fires exploding electricity or whatever that is)

[onleavedontatme]

What are you talking about? That's blatantly false.

At the time it was added, the captains space suit was the best in the game and people threw a fit about him being "turned into a space marine." Not to mention there were only two jetpacks on station, so adding his was a huge deal.

The real answer is:

Goof added a specific check for hardsuits, as in the object path, so nothing else counts.

stop fucking saying "around pax never relax"

[Wyzack]

>Bartenders who do not set up a nice display of drinks

I don't like getting the whole place cluttered up with shit, and as a customer i appreciate having a clean table to sit next to so it is easier to drink my own drink and put it down. I keep all the fancy stuff i make in the showcase, and maybe a single three mile island ice tea/Singulo at each end for decoration

[InsaneHyena]

stop fucking saying "around pax never relax"

It's a good advice.

[Not-Dorsidarf]

stop fucking saying "around pax never relax"

"Bryce Pax needs some whacks"

"near bryce? pay the price"

"pax snacks?"

Around Smells watch yourselves

[Digdugxx]
