Pet Peeves

So I thought we could all use a place to vent about some of the things that rub us the wrong way while playing the game, not so much features and development issues but all the little things that always come up when lots of people interact with each other.  So I'll start with my two currants' worth (*deep breath*): The incessant leapers.
There you are, walking down the street minding your own when suddenly someone goes sailing over your head.  Three seconds later, there they are, heading back the other way.  Or you're trying to water a tree, and instead end up inviting someone you don't know to a party you're not having.  It can be unnerving.  Yes, I know there are achievements for leaping, but please--exuberance is all well and good, but try to keep it within *bounds*. ;-)

  • I never walk, I only leap. 

    Today i went to move a die to a different slot and somehow it ended up being dropped at my feet.  I kept trying to pick it up - "working, working"  what is that? working?   Then "God" appears to say I got disconnected.   The die was still there when I got back but still... very irritating.  
    i
    Other players behavior never really bothers me but when I see people in there underwear or without clothes in the deeps I have to wonder about them. heh

    I suppose its annoying when someone sees me failing to jump for something and has to rush over from where they are to show how THEY can jump to grab the thing.

  • lol Sirentist.

    Uh oh, I guess I'm one of the leapers... at least at some places.  Its just so fun to jump around!   :)

  • also, when you do something for someone and they give you random kindness in return. That ain't random.  Its nice.  Its just not random.

  • I like donating to the shrines with the check favour tab open. This means I mostly drag and drop items on to the shrine. Which also means as I donate I've missed and dropped, and had someone run past and steal my items.
    I've also accidentally donated to someone instead of the shrine, in most cases fine, I can say "keep it" or "sorry can I have that back" but I did accidentally give someone 200 meat once and they were alseep. Never got that back. And finally the super fast zoomers who went past just as I donated and collected the item and left screen before I could ask for it back. I wonder if just standing by all the shrines will get me more goodies. I'd like a better way to see the progress and still donate. I suppose I'm mostly fedup with myself for not finding a better way to donate. *le sigh*

  • There's a certain face and hair combination that annoys me, because it looks like someone I know in RL who also annoys me. I'm not saying which face and hair it is, as it's nobody's fault- just a weird coincidence that throws me off when I see it.

    I hate it when all the pigs clump together to one big herd- how can I pet you all if all I see are ears and legs??

    Also- the lag, when everything is stuck, like pigs making the walking movement but not moving, your action dialogs are "working..." and then the lag poofs away and everything suddenly zooms.

  • But I love to jump!

    A Juju Bandit appears, the game locks up for a moment, and by the time it unlocks my focusing orb has already been stolen.  Oh well.

  • Bouncing around's one of my most favorite things to do in game o_o 
    My glitch may end up needing knee replacements, but I can't stop .-.

    My pet peeve is the phrase "pet peeve" if it's something that peeves me, I don't want it as a pet. 
    Pets should be things I want and care for. I don't like peeves o_o

  • I, too, enjoy jumping. A lot. I've been in games before where they didn't have jumping & it about killed me. 

    My main game irritant (better Ebiler? ;) ) is people that attend a party & take all the food without making items for the party. They're just fortifying their inventory or gearing up for a vendor sale. Trying to learn to let this one go. R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G... Ommm.... Other people are not so strange.

  • people who start threads call pet peeves that aren't about pets.

    I HATE THAT

  • I jump, it makes my little Glitchy heart sing.

    I get a bit forlorn when people spin the wheel loads of times without moving over slightly at shrines,  thus thwarting my shrine actions.

    And when I try to mine and those pesky chickens keep getting in my way, yet when I want to squeeze them they go all coy and flounce off.

  • Yeah, I hate it when people just stand at shrines.  It's probably not deliberate, but sometimes I wind up giving a donation item to them instead of the shrine.  Outta the WAY!!

  • My pet peeve, being splanked while mining.
    Posted 13 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Jiva and WalruZ: I think, unfortunately, that it's no accident that there are sleepers in front of Shrines.  I see it too often for it to be "accidental".  Ditto for the Shrine jumpers.  They know exactly what they're doing.  The first time it happened to me was the last time.  Now I only use the "donate to" menu - even as clumsy as it is.

  • The dialog bubble that appears whenever you <insert action here>. It just blocks the view, and on my house, the nifty tooltip-like icons I could click on my pigs, chickens and butterflies. (also, why are they all on the pen? Greater animal gravity there?)

    "You get energy, EXP and currant."

    I know that already, that's why I am doing the action. I don't need to be reminded every damn time.

    I wish there was a way to turn it off. Or just show on top not blocking stuff.

  • Oh I'm sorry :`(  I jump everywhere all the time, *not* for the achievements but because I'm still trying to get the hang of the triple jump.  I just can't seem to make it work.... :c

  • I'm a greeter. My biggest peeve is when n00bs ignore me when they've requested a greet. Most presume that I'm a bot (why I changed my name from Chip to Kip--Chip sounds like a bot name, apparently) and won't be persuaded otherwise. They go about their initial exploration and ignore all the nifty things I have to share with them. Their loss, sure. But it frustrates.

  • My biggest pet peeve is people who hate jumpers. I like jumping, it rocks! But when people are all like "ZOMG STOP JUMPING" it makes me sad.

  • I guess my pet peeve is how the notification for Super Harvest always slows me down when I'm on a harvesting roll.

  • My pet peeve is people who refer to the savanna of the Ancestral Lands as a desert, especially since they seem to out-populate the people who get it right.

  • My pet peeve is others trying to tell me how I should play the game!
    Posted 13 months ago by MsZoee Subscriber! | Permalink
  • my pet peeve is people who use the word "glitchian" in place of "glitchen" and vice-versa.

    "glitchen" is the plural of "glitch", as in: "my, aren't there a lot of little glitchen out on the street today!"

    "glitchian" is an adjective having to do with all things glitch, as in: "my favorite glitchian activity is jumping."

    it is also irritating to me to have people use the plural "glitchen" as if it were singular.

    as for parking in front of shrines, the shrine is where i catch up on all my general business of donating, which may include cooking, meditating, smelting, and other processes. if you accidentally donate stuff to me while i am standing there because you are too hasty to make sure that it is the shrine and not i that is highlighted, i will give you your stuff back.

    ...unless you are in so much of a hurry that you move on before i can ask you about it.

    standing at the shrine is also my favorite place to make random gifts to passing glitchen, since it is one of the few places they stand still long enough for me to properly choose a gift and hand it over.

  • Thanks flask. I haven't seen you around a shrine but if I do I'll pause for long enough :) good plan too, if you're in prime position share, it is one of the best things about the game.

  • I almost always jump over people, it seems more polite than running over their heads.
    Posted 13 months ago by Benzyl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My pet peeve used to be butterflies and how rude they were. In fact I renamed one of them, 'Rude and Inconsistent'. But then I got AK6 and they changed their tune so now I don't have any peeves and actually I was forced to change that particular butterfly back to 'Cornflower'. And like Benzyl, I try to jump over Glitchen in preference to mowing them down and also in preparation for visiting the Ancestral Lands and avoiding those dodgy creatures beginning with 'J'.
    Posted 13 months ago by Moz Art Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ahhhhh! moz art! what a coincidence to run into you here!

    i am pretty sure i was fixing to give you a gift today, but you jumped over of my head and out of my reach!

    ...unless i was quick enough?  whether i succeeded or not, i know it was you...

  • In my experience, gardening is NOT a leisure activity.
    Posted 13 months ago by Gizgazzuz Guziz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I try to jump over the shrines because it seems to be less likely to screw people up than running past... I'll note that in the future, though.
    Posted 13 months ago by Lady Cailia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My pet peeve is people who, for some reason I can't fathom, actively try NOT to cooperate when we happen to both be harvesting barnacles or jellisacs in the same place. I waited for you, and I know you know we can both harvest the same jellisac, so why are you trying to perform some convoluted dodging and running to harvest everything ahead of me?

    Fortunately, most people don't go out of their way to be uncooperative about the bog resources, and those that are uncooperative typically just don't understand that two can harvest a barnacle. But some people make it easy to tell they are just trying to be difficult...
    Posted 13 months ago by Effigy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ... oh, wow. Actually I did not know that was possible! I try to be a good Glitchizen, though, if I see someone else at the bank of jellisacs or whatever I just move on.
    Posted 13 months ago by Nixified Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I bounce everywhere. It makes me happy.

    But splanking? I can't STAND it when some random Glitch I've never seen before just runs up and splanks me for no apparent reason. I mean, what the hell did I do to you?! It seriously makes me wish I could jump on some people and squoosh 'em like a Goomba. That would be satisfying.

    Splanking is special. Splanking is for ME, dammit! Splanking is just for the special Glitchen in my life. ;)

  • I'll quit jumping once I'm awarded the 111,111 jumps badge, tyvm.
    Posted 13 months ago by zeroDOTjon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @jennyanydots I have never had the nerve to splank anyone for precisely this reason - I am worried they would be offended. In fact I tried the sneezing powder (thinking it would make me sneeze) and was rather embarassed when it made a bunch of people nearby drop beans. I keep meaning to ask a mate if I can splank them so I can get the badge! Perhaps there needs to be a splanking group...

  • I am irritated by people who are irritated by Leaping - Boing!  Seriously though, I love leaping and often do it myself.  I get a smile when I see someone boinging past me and my heart leaps when i see a Conga! 

    I do understand how annoying it is to click on something other than what you were reaching for.  This is also a peeve of mine.  I have never clicked a Leaper but clicking animals (especially in my own garden) drives me Nuts!

  • I love Glitch, but I have 1 burning annoyance: I dropped some seeds in my house, and they somehow ended up out of reach behind some magical invisible wall.

    I walk by them daily. They lay there...taunting me...laughing snidely at me repeated failure to pick them up!

    Stupid seeds...

  • @geekybird: this may not be exactly what you had in mind, but there IS a splanking group: the Splank Club 
    Posted 13 months ago by bludwaggie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pet Peeves? In order of most significant to least significant:
    1. When the rube appears in Ancestral Lands to mock me as I'm teleported away.
    2. Chickens and everything they represent.
    3. The "Now Moving To X" sign, which always seems to hang.
    4. Finding a tree has been poisoned, chopped down, and the plot removed.
    5. Pressing enter will inspect a gravestone instead of mining a rock.
    6. There is no socially acceptable place for gas tree groves.
    7. The map GPS doesn't go away once you reach your destination.
    8. Those who, with all the wonders of Ur to explore, will camp in one place for a trivial item.

    Spelling...an applicable pet peeve for every textual moment in my life

    Not knowing if helping someone mine is going to make them mad at me or not...I don't like it when people are mad at me *sniff*
