TBT Pet Peeve

[lunathenia]

I can understand frustrations of waiting for people. I used to do many trades when I was new to animal crossing. I still do a few here and there. I just have to say that it is a game. Games should be able to be set aside. I myself have a lot that happens around my home. I have children, pets and a husband. My point really is that sometimes you can't quickly let the person know that you will be away from your computer. Real Life is not a game. I.E your dog decides to sneak off and explore around the new yard. Wanders out to the front next to a very busy highway. You cannot let the person know. You need to run and get your dog before they are hit by a car. I know that from personal experience :O Also you are on a site that has many different people with different time zones. People 3 hours behind you, 6 hours ahead or behind. Just try to give people a little bit of faith. If they don't follow through or leave you hanging then there are so many other helpful people on this site.

Well... this is a thread about pet peeves... not about trying to balance cons/pros of the site. What faith is there to have in the first place? And just because a few people are guilty of the patterns doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing ACNL or stop coming to this site... I think that's evident if you happened to have glanced at my wifi-rating and saw the amount of trades that have taken place. But yes, forums like TBT are really good in helping you progress in ACNL.

If it was an emergency then any explanation would do justice but most people that are guilty of situation #1 and/or #2 keep repeating the pattern so I avoid trades with them. Idk stats but I'm sure that the chances of emergencies happening to the same person during trading all the time is pretty slim. The fact that they no explanation is provided whatsoever and acting as if it's normal to keep the other person waiting without a word is what gets people agitated

Here I'll give you another emergency ish example, this is one that I'm guilty of. I passed out b/c I was up at like 3 am or 4 am so I avoid trading at night/dawn now. But I let the other person know when i woke up and apologized.
^
And that is what everyone should do if they're a decent human, explain and apologize in case you kept them waiting and wasted their time.

I guess when people are like "oh that's not the fc on the side"

DUH that's why I put to add the one in the signature and also say it like 100xs but no one reads and I look like an ass.

Has happened to me multiple times. Multiple.

The ignoring thing is annoying too, but in real life I screen peoples calls so maybe it's karma for me

This is related to trading:

Situation #1 or the likes
Person 1: Opening gates~
(person 1 opens his/her gates in 1 min)
Person 2: Ok coming~!
Person 1: Waits....
Person 1: Waits.... it's been 10 min
Person 1: Waits.... 30 min later... runs out of patience and goes to close the gates
(30-60min later)
Person 2: Door wasn't open
Person 1:.... (sighs...)
Advice? Don't be a person 2

Situation #2 or the likes
Person 2: Opening gates~
Person 1: Goes to train and waits for gates to appear
Person 1: 1 min later... (meh, I guess it'll open soon)
Person 1: 10 min later... (still does not see gates for the town)
Person 1: 30 min later... (yup, still nothing)
(30-60 min later)
Person 2: Gates open!
Advice? Don't be a person 2

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE KEEP THE OTHER PERSON NOTIFIED

Yes! Common courtesy! I've had it happen to me and it made me mad. We can meet another time if you're busy, but don't keep me waiting around. Maybe I have other things I'd like to do too. Those are the people I delete from my FC List and then I put on my ignore list.

I hate it when people type all their posts in Light/Pastel colors or Size 1 Font

At some point it becomes too much of a pain to even attempt to read it

 

[Zane]

when the same person posts in all the basement games all day

I thought it would be fun to go there a month or so ago, but everyone there is already BFFs and has inside jokes, and it was too much... so i can't

Mini-modding. This user on here (and i know exactly who you are, you aren't very sneaky) is now anonymously saying stuff about me on tumblr when i already told them to stop mini-modding my activity. I am so done with people on this site. I already said that i made a mistake and they are continuing. For the love of everything please stop. If you get that much enjoyment out of stuff like that then you are low. I thought you were already talked to but apparently not.

 

[toastia]

I'm tired of not getting others inside jokes, it seems like everyone has a friend circle these days cx

My TBT pet peeve is when people complain about others using invisible mode.

it has its perks and it has its downfalls... opinions happen

agreed. So annoying when I'm trying to trade with them.

I also don't like the shop's artificial scarcity with most of the items.
Actually, don't really like the BTB system at all.

Also, holding auctions and then, when they win, they say "Oh yeah! I totally forgot about it and found _ free somewhere else."

 

[Heyden]

When your expecting someone and they take forever to get to your town, ugh
Once someone was like, the train is coming now!
15 minutes later...

It's annoying, but stuff happens. I know well the pain of a poor connection.

Honestly? Snobs. I've spoke about people like this before, but people who think they are better than everybody else because they've got the best collectibles, the most amount of TBT Bells or the best town just get on my nerves. I admit I can be a bit snobby sometimes, but it's all in fun. In reality, I consider myself equal to everybody here, even the staff! At the end off the day, we're all human, and we all like Animal Crossing. That one interest should unify all of us and make this community one to be proud of being a member of. Can't we just have fun?

 

[leeaboo]

Maybe unpopular opinion, but when people are extremely/excessively greedy (especially where villagers are concerned). Never understood why people void villagers others would like if they don't get the millions of bells that they want for them. If nobody is offering on your villager, why not give them to someone for free instead of deleting them because they weren't making money for you? You're not getting money either way and at least you can contribute to making someone else happy.
