Writer's Block: Peevish
Saw this on willow_one 's LJ.
It's a tie between Computer Idiots and Live Show Idiots.
As someone who does tech support, I speak to people daily who don't know the first thing about computers. I don't mind that. You know about cars, jewelry, home finances - I know about computers. That's cool. Actually a lot of the people that fall under my peevish umbrella DO know a lot about computers. They just refuse to accept that they might not know everything. People who give up on a problem before even trying to troubleshoot, who blame every little thing on Microsoft, never stopping to think that outside factors (including hardware, software, and the user) could ever be part of the equation.
The other peeve of mine came up when we went to see Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! live. And before that, when we went to see Michael Ian Black. It's people who go to live shows and then make themselves a spectacle. I'm sorry sir, I didn't pay money to come see you act like a drugged out fucktard. I paid to see the guy ON STAGE act like a drugged out... yeah.
Both of those really grind my gears.
