My SL Pet Peeves Meme

• LOL! This is going to be a tough one for me because you just posted five of my top pet peeves. I’ll have to think hard to come up with something new!

• I know there will be A LOT of overlapping in the pet peeves because we all get irritated by similar things so feel free to reuse mine and share your own reasons, etc.. no biggie! And thanks, I am excited to read everyone’s posts! <3

• hiya, great post, in regards to number five though, you can go to your Develop menu (ctrl alt Q or just turn it on in advanced menu) then go to rendering and you can turn off ‘render attached lights’. That way you keep your ambience, and you are not effected by facelights.
  I hope that helps 🙂

• Hey Sasy, thank you! Someone else just told me that too but they weren’t sure if it was just in Firestorm or in other viewers as well. I use the Beta Viewer and had not noticed this setting before. I’m going to check it out for sure when I login tomorrow morning. Really excited about this! I would love to turn my local lights on again! Thank you so much!

• Mine’s going to be rock-bottom nasty… you’ve been warned.

• The blogless one and her five pet peeves. Ohhhh Berry – love your memes! And thank you for mentioning the first couple!
  1) Like Berry, folks who insist on saying “hi” or nattering on about something in IM when I’m obviously not there. I do have my IMs going to email, but you’d be surprised how quickly that fills up a mailbox. A quick question that I can answer is fine, but I am involved with lots of events that require significant planning. The folks who try to do that thru IM are nuts, and usually the ones who forget the arrangements. I always give out my email to organizers, that’s the only way to keep track of gallery dates, storytelling sessions, etc. And I don’t understand why folks are reluctant to do that…gmail is free, just open a mail account for your avatar. Trust me, your ability to keep track of things increases a thousand times with email.
  2) Also like Berry…random teleports. Seriously, if I wanted to be at your event, I would be. I’ve been known to drop people as friends as soon as that happens. They might be lovely people otherwise, but I don’t find I miss them. Funny that.
  3) People who open IM conferences in chat with everyone on their friends list. If you want to drop everyone a note about your RFL gig, a bid for votes for a contest, a request for a storyteller for your event, etc, that’s fine. But don’t go on and on about something in chat– it annoys me especially when I’m in the middle of a photo shoot and you clutter up my screen.
  4) Talking pregnancy bellies. Ugh. Gross. Annoying. Pathetic. Don’t stand around wanting everyone to look at you and oooh and ahhh…truth is – we don’t care.
  5) People who don’t move away from an entrance, or off the landing zone when they TP somewhere. Sure, I know you can’t see, and things haven’t rezzed, etc. But at least take a couple of steps in any direction. Even if you bump me while doing that to let others in, I’m less annoyed. But if you don’t move, you clog the way for everyone. And for crying out loud, do not just leave yourself there and go afk. Get out of the way.

  Thanks Berry!

• @Derry – 3 is easily solved. Defriend those noisy assholes.

  Derry, I have to agree with all of your pet peeves as well. It's funny how so many of the same things irritate us.

  Thanks to everyone for participating so far. I am having a good chuckle reading some of your posts. For all you lolas haters, I'm totally going to bust mine out around you next time! 😛 Muahahaha

  Thanks so much! <3

• Pingback: SL Pet Peeves, I haz ‘em! | Cait's World

• 😀 I wont touch this meme with a 10 foot pole, but love your comments! Especially the one from Derry McMahon about the pregnant bellys. I once told my friend Draakje Dailey if I was pregnant and my baby started talking to me while in utero I’d grab a priest and exorcise it. (and I’m not Catholic) Those things are sooooooo annoying! But then I guess I just don’t “get” it. Most of those babies end up “tucked in the closet” when they aren’t convenient anyway. Oh wait, being able to put the child in the closet when he/she isn’t convenient to our lives… Brilliant!

• I don’t have a blog to post my pet peeves on, but I’m having a blast reading what everyone else is posting. I’d just like to add one of my own:

  My very worst pet peeve in SL is when people don’t understand how much work goes into the things people create here. I’m always so frustrated when I get questions from people asking if I can make something custom for them. As if I can just whip out a mesh dress in an afternoon. The very worst is when I get messages from “friends” asking if I can make them something custom and full perm that they can then edit and resell. Um…no.

• Makes note to ONLY tp Berry (every 15 to 20 minutes just cuz) and ask her for everything in her inventory 😛

• haha, I was all set to write that I don’t have any – till I got to #5 – Facelights! OMG! How many photos have those damn things ruined! Regions with funky windlight are a bit of an annoyance too, but that’s far more easily “fixed” than facelights. I guess what I don’t get about facelights is – in whose viewer do the blown out, detailless faces look good? Maybe the answer to my own question is that if your graphics settings are really low, you may be barely aware of your own facelight. I know if you’re on LOW graphics you don’t even see Glow, which is one source of some peeps obnoxious glow settings.

  Mostly though I really don’t want to have any peevs. — haha — I thought when I first read it that this was going to be LL complaints, rather than other users. Either way though, of course there are sorts of little things that we’d each change if we were Queen for a Day… (no doubt my utopia would be your dystopia…)

  I do think thought that the time we spend being frustrated by “stupid things” mostly just generates frustration. I know I and others wrote more than a few pissy words about, for example, SL Viewer 2, back in the day. My complaints felt legit, but mostly I think I just made myself bitter.

  My attitude now is that like RL, SL is not perfect and never will be. IRL you can focus on waste, hate, brutality, senseless violence, needless destruction and cruelty… or you can focus on poetry, charity, unexpected kindness, and love…

  Neither the service provided by Linden Lab, nor the alternate grids, nor the residents, are ever likely to be “perfect,” but for the 4 years that I’ve been around, it’s always been pretty good. It’s compelling enough to continue to be a resident. It has been and continues to be as flexible and creative a platform as I know of.

  hahaha – sorry to be preachy / philosophic on rant day! 😛

• Pingback: 5 SL Pet Peeves | Mistletoe Ethaniel's Blog

• Caoimhe I can totally understand your hesitation about doing this post, I wasn’t too sure about doing it myself, lol but I figured I don’t rant that often on my blog so people will hopefully give me a pass just this once.

  Kellie, I cannot believe people actually ask you to make things full perm for them. That is pretty bold and absolutely ridiculous!

  Kilolo and Don – Both of you are FIRED! 😛

  Vaneeesa, no need to apologize about being preachy. I totally get what you’re saying and I’m not one that usually rants, complains or dwells on things either. I figure life is too short to get overly frustrated over silly things, even if they do bug me sometimes. I was actually pretty unsure about doing this post to begin with and had a backup meme planned in case I chickened out the last minute, lol. But I figured, it’s all in good fun. I think everyone likes to let go and rant once in a while, as long as we’re not too hurtful and others understand that it’s just our opinions and nothing they should take to heart. I know a few of these ladies mentioned how much they hate lolas and I totally LOVE my lolas and now I’m planning to show up at all their parties with my lolas on full bright! LOL So yeah, I hope the post isn’t taken to heart and is seen as just sharing our own opinions. I promise to make next week’s meme a lot more positive!

• I agree with ALL of Strawberry Singh, and for my peeve, I have to say, I am so piffed when I log on, and I get a dump load of IMs right away, can you just let me read my NCs,notices, and offlines before your up my arse, give me 2 seconds please to friggin get my sl together before I have to answer questions or see how I am doing, which is sweet, but, the answer is always the same, I am GREAT, and working, so whats up?,
  Thanks Strawberry, made my day to know others are piffed about sl annoyances! XoXo

• Here ya go berry have fun reading mine!!

  http://pixelbeing.blogspot.com/2013/04/pet-peeves.html

• Mmh I don’t know if I can come up with *five*, specially because you’ve covered a few of my pet peeves already…

  Still… my main pet peeves are about in-world conversation about topics and things we’ve heard over and over and over again. They were interesting once. They are not any longer.

  – A/S/L. While this depends a bit on the community, I still get that occasionally. It’s more rare these days — newbies were all about A/S/L, and these days it’s rare to find a newbie anyway.

  – “Second Life sucks”, “Linden Lab sucks”. If it sucks so much, why are you still here? Duh! There are variants of those, like “LL doesn’t know how to run their business” or “if I were LL, I would do X”. Well, LL is still a profitable company, and if you wish to run your own grid and show your entrepreneurship, you can grab the latest copy of OpenSim, lease a dozen servers, and show how much better you are at running a grid!

  – “Second Life is doomed and will fail soon”. Yeah, right. We’ve been hearing that for a decade. Why should you be better at predicting SL’s end than the thousands who did so before you? Not to mention that most of the doomsayers have long since gone…

  – Lag Police. You know, those types that read somewhere that hair/meshes/AOs causes lag,and make sure that everybody runs around their sims naked with a white skin and absolutely no attachments. Lag is part of SL — get used to it! While you’re getting familiar with lag, enjoy the sheer amount of personalisation that you can do on your avatar which is impossible to do in any other virtual world platform 🙂 I just keep away from those sims with their lag police, no matter how enjoyable their events are. There is plenty to choose from in SL. So I stick to where freedom of expression in one’s avatar is still allowed — and that doesn’t necessarily mean laggy sims!

  – “The 2004 Look”. Well, I know, this is something that doesn’t affect everybody. I’m no fashionista myself. And I understand that a lot of people couldn’t care less about the economy, the amount of work creators do in SL (see @Kellie Iwish’s comment; it’s one of my pet peeves as well!), or how they look like. Well, in some cases, it’s meant as an art form, and that I respect. In others it’s ignorance. But nowadays even newbies get good-looking default avatars. There is no excuse to invest a bit to look around for inexpensive or free, good-looking items. Even if you hate shopping and couldn’t care less about how your avatar looks, The 2004 Look just spoils a picture when you wish to give an idea on how great SL looks like…

  A variant of this are the buildings using a mix of photosourcing and synthetic textures. It’s impossible to use both techniques and still expect good results. Synthetic textures will almost always work far better. With a lot of work, however, photosourcing might work out fine, although it’s been a very long time since I saw someone doing a photosourcing-only building.

  This applies to me too, of course. Some of my old 2005 clothes, still on sale somewhere, were photosourced. They look absolutely ugly. Do yourself a favour and don’t buy them 🙂

• I read this line in one of your posts and I thought it was dead on so I wanted to highlight it here in the comments:
  “Let me assure you that pet peeves are just that nothing more. They are not things that should lead you to lash out at someone or make your existence unhappy or uncomfortable. They are purely those things for you to shake your head at and continue on your way.”

  Thank you everyone that has participated so far. I have learned from reading all your lists that I also do a lot of annoying things! LOL This has been a good learning experience for me, so thank you!

  Gwyneth Llewelyn I was pleasantly surprised and excited to see your response here and I have to agree with your #2. The constant “Second Life sucks”, “Linden Lab sucks” attitude and statements are so tiring for me as well…you gotta wonder why those people are still logging in!

  Joining the party a little late, took me ages to set up my post because I kept trying to write less for peeve #1… I still have an essay, I really got up on my soapbox about this one but unlike all the others, which are just minor irritations, I’d say this far outranked a peeve and is fast becoming my SL nightmare!! Hope the length doesn’t put people off, thanks for reading and commenting 🙂

  Strawberry, I totally sympathise with your peeves, although I don’t have much to say about morphs as I don’t seem to encounter them, but I can imagine it’s annoying to be asked constantly to do them for people. My #5 peeve is a bit like your facelights! Have NEVER liked facelights. >.<
