ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

[daringred_]

the side-step through half-gaps that never works first try. i've complained about it before, but it still drives me insane. in NL, i'm pretty sure you could just walk through them normally, and while the animation is cute, it should just be a guaranteed side-step. why else would i be walking at the half-gap if not to pass through it?

villagers sitting down to watch KK hours before he performs. it makes trying to gift them clams harder than necessary. at least when they're sat down, you can run into them, and when they're fishing you can just talk t them three times. i don't know if that works when they're at the concert though -- never actually tried.

the nook friday dialogue made me want to commit crimes.

mabel refusing to put my purchases in my inventory so i have to strip before buying or she'll send it all to my house.

accidentally picking flowers instead of the item on the ground next to them. pain.

i hate hate hate that you can't put flowers in your storage anymore. i want to save some flowers but i don't want to give them a waiting area somewhere on my island/beaches!

Yea I don’t get why we can’t store flowers. Especially now that they have increased storage space.

YES all of these annoy me something fierce. pretty sure they're all responsible for the grey hair I found this morning

I hate that characters, Gulliver and Wisp especially, have like.. 20+ pages of dialogue telling you how to do their fetch quest when you've already done it 100 times before... can't they just say "Ah! I thought you were a ghost again! Will you please help me find my 5 spirit pieces again?" Or "Oh no! I'm here again? And my communicator is broken?! Just my luck. You'll help me again, won't you?" It'll make their fetch quest less painful to do.

The tree branches used to annoy me too, but a few weeks ago I found out that you can drop some behind a cliff or some place that isn't visible and after dropping a certain amount they stop showing up anywhere else.

I find the "Hey there! Welcome to Able Sisters, where we sell fashions made lovingly by claw." every single time quite annoying. Like, yeah I think I know by now I've been here hundreds of times am I really that forgettable.

I feel the same about Gulliver. his notoriously lousy long-term memory is canon so I mean he sort of gets a pass for that, but man alive is it frustrating 9 out of 10 times having to read through the same freaking dialogue whenever he's stranded on my beach. I'm always like "hey buddy, it's me! I know how this works, you don't need to tell me the same thing over and over again, I get it alright? jeez!". I see Wisp far less often so doing his fetch quest is always a treat because I find him so stinking cute. plus I had major Wisp envy back in my Wild World days when I didn't have a wii and couldn't play City Folk lmao, so I'm always super stoked to talk to him. but yes, I totally get the annoyance; repeat dialogue is a major pain in the butt and the rapid button mashing to get through it does cause a lot of cramps I'd rather not have to deal with tbh

wait, really? that's genius! oh man I need to try this ASAP

lol I can totally relate to the Able Sisters situation. it is pretty annoying, I agree. I usually avoid going in there altogether because the whole shopping experience is usually so tedious. plus the guilt is real because I always feel like I'm using Sable for the custom patterns since I always skedaddle and never talk to her again when I've obtained them all.

I have one that's more to do with the community than the game ... I mean absolutely no offence to anyone who does this, but it's when people say that bugs and fish are "expensive" !! I mean, I understand perfectly what they mean, but I'm a bit of a wordsmith, and seeing the wrong word used all the time really makes my palms itch !! They're not expensive, they may be valuable, but they're basically free !! How petty is this complaint, eh ?!?! xD

Too much dialogue from the dodos basically.

I love that Kapp'n says that he don't like long-winded conversation. Guess Nintendo is aware that the dodos talk too much.

 

[shendere]

I also barely get to see Wisp! I've probably only seen him under 10 times and I have over 1.2k hours in this game. I don't mind running into him! My pet peeve is definitely the flower picking rather than an item, ughhhh. That, and the endless airport dialogue :'c

Would've been great if using the greenhouse or something would be a small storage for flowers, bushes and trees.

 

[miraxe]

The villager visits are definitely mine. I was so excited to see them missing from ACNH, but then they were added back in. I just hide in another room.

 

[Plume]

Why is it so frickin' hard to get a villager to move in from the campsite?

 

[Misha]

It shouldn't be this hard to catch a Char. I must have really bad RNG for this one.

Why can’t we give villagers a gift if
They are sitting down? Mine have a habit of doing it exactly when I’m about to give them a gift and then refuse to stand back up. When I try to pick something up and end up pulling petals off flowers instead. Villagers barging into my house or running me down to drag me to my house.

I have 2 big ones:
1st: the way hats look in this game. They don’t cover ears and just look awkward IMO like they don’t really fit!
2nd: that the non cedar trees don’t lose their leaves in winter drives me nuts. The leaves stay on them and are covered by snow, that annoys me so much I wish they’d actually lose their leaves and grew nee ones in spring lol

 

[xxcodexx]

not having a full set of furniture such as the elegant and moroccan series. what good are they if theres no cool low tables, wardrobes etc? ive had to make small rooms to fill them up with those items. drives me bonkers.

yep on the tree branches! and having the flowers double constantly. my town is full of flowers and ive cleared them out at least twice already.

You can have pears as pets? I am sorry for this joke, please ignore.

I hate how quickly I went through the DLC, I just feel like there could've been more to unlock. AHHHHHH

 

[MelodyRivers]

Kk still being in the plaza. Ugh why couldn’t he be in the roost.
Villagers visiting as soon as I enter my house. I don’t mind the visitors but they show up as soon as I enter my house to simply put something away. It’s annoying I got stuff to do
The nook Friday dialog. Yes I know there’s a sale guys you told me yesterday
Can’t store flowers
Harriet doesn’t do hair anymore. It doesn’t make sense to me. I would love to get a random haircut for fun
can’t center the houses in HHP
not being able to move bridges. I don’t want to destroy a bridge and rebuild. It would be nice if we could just move it like the houses and buildings.
Not being able to take a loan for the extra storage.
Kappn always takes me to the same dumb islands. I think that the possibility of going to a good island should be more since we can only go once per day.
