Pet Peeves in Animal Crossing

Here are some more...
- This is kind of a silly pet peeve... but when people visit your town or you have your gates open... the NPCs don't greet you anymore. Now that there's another person in the town you don't welcome me to your store?! lol. Also the fact that you can't use the megaphone when guests are over.
- The dead spots in the game where you can't plant trees... always messing up the look of my fruit orchards :'(
- Overgrown bamboo forests. OR actually wanting to dig up a bamboo but turns out it's a gyroid. Same goes with when you're expecting a fossil but it turns out to be a gyroid.
 
These always big me at the moment they happen.
- Only 16 pocket space (tools take up most space).
- Only 10 design space. (I wish you could save the path design with Mable, and not have it change into what you replaced it with.)
- Silver slingshots often fly overhead, even though you have gold.
- You can't move furniture when there's someone in a different room of your house.
- You can't set up public work projects during tourneys.
- The big trips from the dock to retail after going to the island.
-Bamboo grows by itself. They're... EVERYWHERE...
 
-Not being able to add to your stack inside your locker without taking the things out first
-The campsite taking off a ground tile in front of it when someone visits - just have that tile as an extra buffer zone all the time!
-Not being able to buy a design from Nook when a renovation is occurring - I'm throwing money at you, take it
-Kicks' head gets in the way when I try on shoes at a certain angle. Same goes for the Snowman bingo
-Despite being open 24 hours, Brewster won't let me work for him at all hours
-When nothing is going on in the town on the weekdays, but the police dog still tells me every day that Pete is out delivering mail
 
-The ceremony when something is done being built

~ the silly little dance villagers do in front of you to try and get your attention

I actually like these... As for my pet peeves,
-The lack of storage space! This is the biggest one for me especially since there's so much un-orderable stuff in this game! I'm using my museum exhibits and letter storage for rare items and it's still a problem.
-Getting duplicates of rare furniture after having the full set except one or two pieces (Hey Cyrus thanks for the 4 golden screens when I only needed a table)
-Grass deterioration. Why is this a thing?
 
- Lack of storage! Which.. almost everyone else has said.
- Not being able to stack items in storage.
- Villagers not requesting PWPs you want. I still don't have the police station.
- Gorilla villagers.
- Brewster only letting you buy coffee once a day.
 
-The sometimes cheap, greedy nature of the villagers. I'm not giving away a genie's lamp for a beatnik tee!
When my pockets are full.
When I dig a hole inaccurately.
- Beginning a convo with a villager just as another villager pings
biggest pet peeve has to be tables, counters and shelves that you can't put crap on.
- The fact that it seems hard to either aim at what paths you wanna pick up, or the fact that when you want to pick up an item, you pick up the path instead. -.-
- Limited texture creation panels per character.
-When I'm hitting a rock for coins and it digs a hole
-Having to run back and forth from the dock to re-tail to sell all your island stuff
-When you are diving and the shadow thingie goes past the rope barrier :c
~ villagers moving anywhere they like
Gracie, Redd, and Katrina come at random times
I think my biggest pet peeve is when I visit a dream town and the town has nothing going on in it. :c
I hate visiting towns that have no paths or flowers or anything, they are just really plain. I feel like it's a waste of 500 bells. I know that they must be starting out or something, but I never posted my dream town until I was moderately satisfied with it and I update it daily so that it'll show the newest improvements I made to my town. At least that way when people visit, my town is fun for them to visit.

Also:
-Losing Sharks
-Bamboo that grows crazily
-Also, I wish the basket that is for the island was in the Re-Tail shop so I wouldn't have to run back and forth to sell the bugs and fish I catch.
- The dead spots in the game where you can't plant trees... always messing up the look of my fruit orchards :'(
- Overgrown bamboo forests. OR actually wanting to dig up a bamboo but turns out it's a gyroid. Same goes with when you're expecting a fossil but it turns out to be a gyroid.
- Silver slingshots often fly overhead, even though you have gold.
-Not being able to add to your stack inside your locker without taking the things out first

-Grass deterioration. Why is this a thing?
All of this annoys me.
 
Current pet peeve is how Joan only sells on Sunday until 12pm. I do not want to TT in my main town and I nearly always work on Sunday so I have to rush rush rush to buy my turnips in the morning, and rushing should not be a part of Animal crossing grr.
 
Most of my pet peeves are shared with pretty much everyone else. XD
Nevertheless, I shall state them anyway:
~Limited storage space...just..urg.
~ Not being able to combine multiples of the same shells in your pockets. Why can't I have a basket of sea shells?
~When I'm trying to remodel my house and a villager comes over and I've got furniture all over the place and I can't move any of it
~When a villager "pings" at me when I'm doing something else/talking to someone already
~Having to wait a day after finishing a PWP to start another one
~rocks that can't be broken
~my bamboo forest! I really love my bamboo, but it's taking up way too much space and I'm getting tired of having to chop it down constantly
~When villagers suggest every PWP on the planet except the one you want to build
~Setting a time for a villager to come over or to go over to their house. I wish they all just wanted to do it right away.
~Having to wait until noon for Shrunk to open up club lol


Okay..I think I'm done..for now anyway xD
 
I just thought of one: I currently have a problem with villagers requesting new nicknames for me. They say something like , Oh, I heard someone call you "Kirbyfan". Can I call you that too? Then I think no, that nickname is for Kiki to call me and you're supossed to be calling me "Keeby"! Then they ask for a new nickname, and when I pick the current one, they think it's new. Then a couple of days later another villager will probably ask about that nickname I just told a villager to keep calling me.
 
I hate all these things:
Limited storage space
Club tortimer *******s even though i dont use it much
random house placement
Never getting good PWPs
All the following high tier villagers (Marshal, Merengue, Tangy, Tia, Any deer, Any wolf and ESPECIALLY julian.)
Tiers in general. OH U WANT BAWB U PAY 20 MILLYUN BELLS. At least there are people who will share for free.

When my pockets are full and ROCKS! I wish you could buy a jack hammer in game and rid of them all u w u
 
Grass wear is my biggest pet peeve. :( Sometimes I just want to get yo my destination quickly, but I don't want my grass to erode.
 
I want to see a mechanism for being able to give another player substantial bells that would be efficient.

Two of my collective 20 villagers (from two game copies) were adoptions in which I paid substantial amounts of bells. And I dislike having to go back-and-forth to and from a town's ATM [ABD].

"Animal Crossing: New Leaf" has to know that we players/consumers make use of the maddening method. There needs to be a better route to making this more user-friendly.
 
it's been said before but when you're diving and the thing goes past the barrier and you know it's a thing for your encyclopedia!!

also a couple people said stuff about getting pwps and this helped me a lot! you can only get one per day but it's almost guaranteed and maybe it could help some of you guys (if you happen to see it!) http://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCross...sible_way_to_get_villagers_to_request_public/

YOU SIR/MISS, ARE THE GRETEST USER TO HAVE EVER LIVED

srsly though thanks
 
I assume a lot of the ones said are from ACNL, which I don't have yet. I have my own from the other games, some of which were said before already:

- Pocket space. I'm OK with limited space, but I really think tools should have their own space elsewhere... like having a tool case that only takes 1 space, or counting besides the pocket space, like letters do.
- Jock villagers asking me if I've been "breaking their training regime" (ACWW). 2 out of 3 answers make them mad and the remaining one makes them sad, so why bother?
- Peppy villagers forcing me to trade (AC), and they ALWAYS picking the one item I don't want to give away and I can't reorder from the catalog, like a Gyroid.
- Also, the same villagers in the same game, thinking I'll pay half of my money for a wallpaper/carpet. Unless it's the very last one I need to complete the catalog and I'm tired of looking for it, no wallpaper/carpet is worth 45000 Bells!
- Getting rare wallpapers/carpets from Saharah on ACCF takes forever! (I made a thread about it)
- The fact I need another player to buy something on my shop to get Nookingtons. Glad they changed that on ACCF, finally.
- The whole fake painting thing from Redd. I heard there's a way to tell counterfeits apart on ACNL, but getting the paintings takes long enough, the fakes just make it 10x longer.
- Grass wearing off. Does anybody even like that?
- Not exactly a pet peeve, but it's funny: When villagers on AC, ask me for a fruit and they have a tree growing them right next to them! Easiest reward ever :p
