Pet Peeves Thread - Little things that REALLY annoy you

Bottom post of the previous page:

Me (Chef): Hey botany, can I get some wheat?
Botanist: Wait until we get gaia.
An hour passes, two botanists are dicking around with a stolen chem dispenser, growing omega weed and bluespace bananas
Me (asking for the fourth time): Hey botany, we ran out of flour. Can you grow some wheat?
Botanist: Oh yeah sure
Botanist proceeds to plant one seed straight out of the vendor without any gene modifications or good fertilizer, doesn't even harvest it
Ship: The emergency shuttle has docked with the station.

Every. Single. Time.
Chef isn't a real job. You're really just a botanist who works part-time.

The obvious answer here is to snag 2-3 trays ASAP to grow your own wheat and potatoes.

[gum disease]

Janitors who wet the floors with water and don't put down wet floor signs. One dude was dragging around a water tank during war ops to do that shit.

I feel like if they do that, they should be valid.

[aradsten]

When people litter
When people dont replace broken lamps
When you dont clean your department when you have time over
When people take more mats than needed

They are under space law, though. §207, Creating a Workplace Hazard.

Whether or not anyone actually cares enough to prosecute them off extended, though...

That's the problem though. You have to run around being a botanist instead of doing chef stuff like writing up menus, renovating the mess hall, adding custom labels and descriptions to foods, mixing flavours in the condimaster etc. If I wanted to spend the shift as a botanist I would have played a botanist.

It doesn't help that it's an open invitation for kitchen invaders if there isn't slop smeared over the front counter at any given moment.

Yeah seriously fuck when this happens. I dare spend any time at all actually trying to prepare some fancier fare and suddenly you get anyone from some asshat assistant up to the goddamn captain--depending on how much the galaxy hates you at that moment--busting down your door demanding chicken tendies.
Honestly when playing chef you might as well forget about everything in the foodstuff crafting screens and just heat up some donk pockets and maybe bake the standard horrifying-looking log of bread if you are feeling particularly spirited.

And people wonder why chef Johnny Average only serves deep-fried appendix burgers.

The worst is when you go the whole hog, prepare menus, renovate the mess hall to be a classy restaurant, hire an assistant to play music, grow custom gene modified mutant plants (good vanilla takes a lot of work) with hand-made nutriment flavour sauces. Then some philistine will see no food on the counter, ree at you and lunge for deep fryer.

Remember that if they jump on the serving tables you can smash them into crit with the shutters and throw them back into the serving area

That gives me a delicious antag idea:
Play chef
Buy a chameleon projector or some other item that makes you invisible
Cook some food, but don't put it on the counter
Instead, place it on the food prep table inside the kitchen, just out of reach of the unwashed masses
Disguise and lie in wait for the clown/greyshirt/CMO to jump onto the counter
Mash him into a fine paste by repeatedly closing the shutters
Drag the mangled meat bits to the gibber
Serve clown/assistant/officer meat for lunch, repeat the scheme when the meat runs out
If medical/security questions you, say they suicided on the counter

Bonus points if you use a pen to give your food a custom description hinting at who your victim was i.e. "The taste of this hot dog leaves you speechless" for your custom-made mime weiners

Playing as the janitor and having to replace the lights every 5 minutes.

Playing as janitor and having to clean up miles of footprints because nobody cleans their shoes.

[gum disease]

When someone is in crit, like close to death and whispers which causes them to die and then complain to you about it.

If you can see white fog on your screen and do not want to die, just be quiet.

[Ispiria]

Chasing a freshly dead corpse from the medbay entrance all the way to cloning because the goddamn greyshirt dragging him doesn't see me brandishing my portable defib

Sure this one has been posted before but it's STILL A PROBLEM

When I make nearly 200 strange reagent patches in the first ten minutes of the round and rarely see a 1/10 of them used.

[DemonFiren]

your avatar confuses me
sometimes I think you're bman
sometimes I think you're shadowmemes
but somehow it also reminds me of old steelpoint

When you're in softcrit, think you're about to go into hardcrit, try to whisper "epi" (so you don't die from them not noticing the oxyloss) but hit hardcrit just as you hit enter, and die.

[Fonedsky]

It would be so much better if, instead of having Mr. Tosses-The-Cherrybombs break into chemistry every round, we could have a system like Goon where plants may randomly mutate based on their traits, or the nutrimax spawns with a veeeeeery limited bottle of mutagen.
I know that here we're all for inter-departmental cooperation and shit, but nothing short of techfab memery will stop people who wordlessly walk in and steal shit, and even that hasn't stopped the most determined crewmembers.

I don't think you can work the button while camouflaged. though you can probably use a combination of a camera bug and a remotely rigged button to do it not from public view

[Anonmare]

You can remove the button electronics, attach a signaller to it and set it to go off whenever signalled.

You can do this to cremate yourself

[Coconutwarrior97]

Engineer's who don't lock lockers. I'm all for giving a couple assistants who seem nice insuls but it sucks when you late join as an engineer and cant find any cause they were all taken.

[Anonmare]

SECURITY
LOCK
YOUR
LOCKERS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Coconutwarrior97]

SECURITY

LOCKERS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OK YA KNOW WHAT YEA, THATS LIKE 20X MORE IMPORTANT. SEC NEVER DOES IT. THEY ALWAYS HAVE ONE OR TWO GREEN LOCKERS. AND I COULD JUST SLIP IN AND TAKE A SECBELT AND SOME SECHUDS IF I FELT LIKE IT.

[DemonFiren]

your pain is felt

[Farquaar]

Speaking of lockers, why do people open the oxygen and fire lockers in the hall and leave them open? It takes two seconds.

It's a a lovely experience to run to be hit in the face with an empty oxygen locker as the emergency tanks you desperately need gently float away into space during a a breach.

[bman]

this doesnt really annoy me as much as make me lick my lips in sexual excitement but sec niggas whomst use dufflebags

It's gotten to a point that I've begun bolting down every single locker I see because I've felt that agony of having a locker drift out of reach too many times

Holy crap doing this is so useful. As engineer I sometimes do this in the halls, but I always make sure to do it around the SM. If the SM delams and starts generating gravitational anomalies it makes it ALOT more annoying to fix it with like 5 lockers floating around covering pipes and shit.

[Anonmare]

tbh O2 and firelockers should start bolted to the floor

[Coconutwarrior97]

See I'd be fine with that but, I kind of like hearing the consecutive wrench sounds when i wrench down a couple lockers in a row. Its like ASMR for my engi ears.

[Farquaar]

When there are two lawyers but nobody wants to sue each other

[Coconutwarrior97]

When there are two lawyers but nobody wants to sue each other

Also, when you have a great opportunity for a trial but there aren't any Lawyers.

[ShrimpMantis]

People that beat up a guy you've handcuffed and then get pissed off when you arrest them too. Like seriously, are you actually expecting me to let you kick a guy to crit while I'm hauling him to the brig?

[gum disease]

People that don't understand that if a borg sees you harming people, they're not going to release you from the brig. Law 2 means bugger all at that point.

Shoving someone who is bleeding, and is at critical blood levels into cryo and just leaving them there to die.

[Anonmare]

People who don't check on people in cryo, especially if said person in cryo has a prosthetic limb. Cryo doesn't respect mechanical limbs.

[ShrimpMantis]

People that insist that the monkey recycler is worse than the slime management

When an unskilled player says something is overpowered/weak/worthless/godly when they know nothing about it. Fuck you, buddy. Just fuck you.

[DemonFiren]

When an unskilled player says something is overpowered/weak when they're only experienced it a few times in very niche situations.

You can actually upgrade the monkey recycler so you get a net gain from recycling monkeys right? It's still annoying to fish the bastards out of the pens though.

[confused rock]

I fucking hate the double emergency oxygen tanks on deltastation and the librarian. Before delta, only deathsquads had those, not even erts. After delta, the arrivals shuttle has em.

Delta also makes syndicate balloon cheap and worthless.

Also #1 pet peeve is borgs who lurk around brig even though no indication has been given that sec is harmful.

That and people who start beating someone once you arrest them so that borgs drag them away.
