Pet Peeves Thread - Little things that REALLY annoy you

I should run one of my patented CO2 engines again one of these days

[Denton]

Security getting bored and harassing crew because they can't get their valids on

[Just L]

Borgs fucking around in the brig or letting greyshirts into the brig. At least it's a free and easy gulag for the latter.

[Farquaar]

When you're tatoring and you start using the code words in every conversation but the other traitors didn't read anything but their uplink password so they don't pick up on it

[zxaber]

To be fair, trying to work with other tators is a good way to die. I've learned my lesson the hard way.

[bandit]

When you're tatoring and you start using the code words in every conversation but the other traitors didn't read anything but their uplink password so they don't pick up on it

at least the code words aren't pulled from the same list of 30 anymore

[Skillywatt]

Sec and Command players who feel the need to go the round removal route over the most trivial matters. They then usually gloat about how you're "just mad you got caught" and "a shitter", autistically missing the point. It's pathetic and with higher than 90 IQ you could find other things to do with the person that makes the experience fun and doesn't just fuck somebody else out of playing the game for an hour.
Example: Round I just had as captain a traitor tried to slip me but fucked up and got himself instead. I found a bunch of traitor shit on him including a bomb. I cuffed him in the execution room, set a timer on the bomb and threw his bag containing some of his gear in a locker, telling him if he could escape before the bomb went off he would be a free man. The dude behind the screen isn't my enemy, he's someone else just trying to have fun with the dumb space game.
There's so many interesting things you can do in this game and I cringe every time I see some virginal redshirt-main wordlessly lethaling or perma'ing somebody who's made it clear they don't intend to be a threat. SS13 isn't about winning against "the shitters" and you're only going to drive more people to greytide.

also valid hunting captains that fancy themselves HoS and spend the round ordering SEC around and telling us to arrest people for the dumbest stuff and then giving inane sentences when we bring them in.

One round recently a captain kept telling us who was "high priority" to arrest and I'd tase/cuff the red W's, click and see a note for like "broke glass in bar" or "stole gloves" or something stupid. First few times I played along and hauled them into brig but then quit once the captain made it clear he was perfectly fine perma'ing/1000pt gulaging people for small stuff on a green shift. I just started arresting people, removing the red W and they'd somehow "escape".

it was one of the few rounds the SEC hate from the crew was actually legitimate

[zero the big boy]

miners who roundstart rush to get augs as the only miner creating about 20 minutes of downtime with no mats
miners who hunt megafauna and retire; mining only the things they get from following signals and making arenas
miners who don't mine as non tators you know what fuck you if you don't mine as a miner any tator would kill for a katana or memento mori or some shit like that why aren't you mining
miners

[confused rock]

Why giving 3 people such responsibility and the most op shit on the most isolated part of the game was a bad idea

[DemonFiren]

lavaland: a mistake

To add to the mining issue.

>Looks for a spawner nearest to it.

>Digs all the way to the ruin.

>Gets face-hugged xDDD.

>"Well we got Xenos now but that's now an ic issue because the griefer didn't directly become an antagonist so they cant be punished.

I still have grievances that this is acceptable depending who you're talking too.

Also, morphs are a non-issue because they suck HARD.

[Kryson]

When you play on Terry and ahelp, no admins are on and you don't get a response even when the round ends an hour+ later.

When you try to TC trade and actually have an admin on for once and they decide to not to trade because they denied someone else a different trade the same round.

When people barge in to xenobio and demand xenoling, or just start emptying slime pens to make xenoling themselves.

[confused rock]

In generalPeople who feel obliged to be given equipment they specifically lack roundstart cuz they shouldn’t have it
Yes, hops will give themself all access. I don’t want him in the armory, he doesn’t start with it.
Detectives would start with sechuds if they needed them. Once I caved in and gave a seemingly reasonable detective sechuds, then the next time I see him he’s wildly launchin slugs down the hallway hittin passerby.
No cargo bitch, I don’t have to give you a spare mop. You hacking into the service lathe wordlessly instead of suggesting I print one makes me want to print your head off. You’re a cargo tech, you coulda ordered your own too.

Engi sec officer steals the last pair of gloves, leaving the poor dumb engi gloveless, but sec won’t ever arrest him. It gets funny when sec asks for a (insert soammable lethal weapon here) as warden because there’s (stunnable threat here) and I say no because they’re gonna abuse it and they say “WELL DON’T EXPECT ME TO DO MY JOB IF YOU NEED HELP IN THR FUTURE” like bitch I should still expect it, I’m doing my job by not giving you a tempgun which I KNOW you’ll spam at people as if it doesn’t hurt, you do yours and protect and serve.

My favorite of all, though, is people who make rage stories cuz admins wouldn’t give them a tc trade.

[Anonmare]

People who keep ordering something that is impossible for me to accomplish or constantly re-stating it as though reality will change to allow it.
Security officers who use confiscated emags to emag cyborgs, and cyborgs who let it happen.
People forgetting armoury/toxins/engineerin/atmos/upload are restricted areas and can be denied access given probable cause
People forgetting you can't abide hurting a human a little bit to stop a lot of harm they would do down the line
People blaming you for firelock crushing caused by a fire alarm

[NoxVS]

When there is a disease spreading and I have a cure but no one will take it and refuse to take their masks off for me to feed it to them

[zxaber]

Security officers who use confiscated emags to emag cyborgs, and cyborgs who let it happen.

Being emagged by Sec or the Captain is fun, because they will inevitably tell me the whole crew is syndicate. So if I see a fight happen, I can roll up and stun-arm the aggressor, drag them away, and helpfully remind them not to harm syndicate agents.

When people go through the effort of publishing a book but can't be bothered to read it through once beforehand
Instead, they copy-paste the whole thing and never realize that you can only enter in a limited number of characters at a time
Thus, instead of the library being filled with garbage literature, it gets filled with incomplete garbage literature

Exhibit A

I mean, with something like that you basically get the gist of it from just the title. The joke is that that's a book being published in the first place, not that you have to actually read the text word for word and laugh.

I prefer finished memes over malformed memes that died in childbirth

[confused rock]

asking someone to be let out repeatedly and them finally taking 10 seconds and being annoyed instead of simply grabbing them twice and opening the door at no cost to anyone

[PKPenguin321]

people who aggro grab someone and throw them against an airlock instead of asking them, like a decent person, to open it
so basically, people who play this as a singleplayer game. i hate all of you and i hope you stub your toe

on the flipside, i hate when i ask somebody to open a door and then they just stand there like an idiot or outright ignore me

When people fucking DRAG DOWNED BLEEDING PEOPLE and turn a MINOR INJURY into FIFTY PERCENT BLOOD REMAINING

[Coconutwarrior97]

When people fucking DRAG DOWNED BLEEDING PEOPLE and turn a MINOR INJURY into FIFTY PERCENT BLOOD REMAINING

All doctors should carry roller beds in their backpack, failing that just go grab a locker to drag people in so they wont lose blood.

[Tlaltecuhtli]

hitting them once with garze makes the bleeding stop and safe to drag around... but who ever uses garze haha

You can't carry a rollerbed in your backpack.

I tried to get them made more portable with a W_CLASS reduction but I got turned down

[confused rock]

you can fit rollerbeds in your backpack. I tried to fold them and after pressing Z it got turned down into a backpack snuggling c shape

[confused rock]

in what way does it inconvenince the thrown person? it's as disruptive to the thrown person as it is to me when someone picks a green beard and yellow hair, but I can't whine bout that.

[Farquaar]

Imagine that you’re looking at the computer of your acquaintance right next to you. You ask them to click on something, but when they take too many seconds for your liking you grab their hand to move the mouse and press down on their fingers to click. It’s not inconvenient, but it is wierd and rude.

Granted, real life isn’t the same as a 2D space clowning simulator, but the illustration holds up more or less

When a traitor tastefully uses a code word in a sentence, such as the chef saying "Anyone want a sandwich for breakfast?" and powergamers start screaming "ARREST HE! CODEWORDS! HES VALID!!!".

Is it so hard to suspend disbelief?

>expecting people to want to lose on a no-rp competitive 24/7 tdm ss13 server

[HommandoSA]

I will occasionally just copy paste the code words round start if I'm a traitor and I haven't been burned yet. Also, I'm sure you can ahelp someone killing you as long as you were subtle.

If there wasn't anything distinguishing it from a normal message, next time say it as a nonantag and watch the shitters get themselves banned
If the "sandwich" was capitalized or something don't do it or you'll probably get banned for banbaiting

[gum disease]

Bringing in someone who's dead but defibbable to medbay, asking the CMO to vend synthflesh from the medi-vendomats only to watch them use brute packs before taking the guy to cloning. There was synthflesh available because another doctor vended it just as the CMO dragged the body away. I really miss being able to vend items as a borg.

When you spend a considerable amount of time tending to someone who likely killed themselves with their own plants. Defibbing them, giving pentetic to purge all the toxins so they don't immediately die again and then having them insult you for taking too long. :^)

The latter makes me laugh because I saw several people walk past their body in the halls until I grabbed them.

[Screemonster]

not gonna lie if I brought someone back into the round and they bitched about time it took to do it that's a surefire way to get me not to bother bringing them back into the round again

[NecromancerAnne]

People who weirdly hover around you. Iunno if this happens to other people but sometimes I get people who hover around me. And my powergamer brain thinks 'either he is a creep (antag), tot/ling, hivemind or just actually creepy and it's becoming unnerving'. Sometimes it's the former and they were timing their attack in a really blatant manner. It happens. But a lot of the time it was the latter.

I don't mean like, trying to be friendly and involved in what you're doing or asking for stuff from you and killing time with small talk. Asking questions about what you're doing. Sometimes people just want to learn from someone experienced. I mean like commenting on innane shit and watching you work quietly for a long time. It's kinda creepy eeky.

[datorangebottle]

people who don't vote hulkamania are my pet peeve


Actually tho, people who aren't willing to compromise and must have everything their way.

[Reyn]

Let's see... a few things

>When the AI doesn't realize that law 1 can actually override a lot of greyshits trying to invade departments with dangerous tools and supplies in them
>When the AI doesn't realize that some law 2 orders can easily and logically be overriden by law 1 in general
>When people Imediately go "AI ROGUE" because I didn't open the door to the captain's office for a greyshirt within 10 nanoseconds or some shit
>Being randomly murdered by greytide
>being immediately hunted down as antag even if i'm not overtly hostile
>Security caring more about "Muh Valids" than keeping the station in order.
>People who call the shuttle for no reason when the situation is reasonably under control
>People who Refuse to call the shuttle when a situation is FUBAR. IE, Tesloose, Engine Delammed, half the station is fucking craters from maxcaps.
>People who recall the shuttle in FUBAR scenarios.
>"We Can fix it" people when 50% or more of the station is gone.
> Murderboning antags
>"AI OPEN" "YOURE NOT ON CAMS!" AI OPEN" "I CANT OPEN I DONT KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE" "AI ROGUE REEE WONT OPEN RANDOM MAINT DOOR" "fffuckssakes."
> People who put dumb laws into the AI.
>Botanists who don't supply the cook at all.
>Cooks who don't supply food at all
>people who randomly steal ids
>Botany in general really
>My inability to remember how to make maxcaps long term.
>Security being either completely incompitent and shitty or the fucking ghestapo, with no indication of which it will be until traitor stuff happens...

Just... normal bagil things.

[PKPenguin321]

>When the AI doesn't realize that law 1 can actually override a lot of greyshits trying to invade departments with dangerous tools and supplies in them

For me it's when the AI/borgs consider a wrench, insulated gloves, paper, etc harmful and use law 1 to reject your orders. That or silicons who see you disarm someone once and immediately chainflash you and weld you into a locker and drag you to sec while ignoring all law 2 orders because "MUH LAW 1"
They are the worst silicon players to ever live and can fuck right off
