TBT Pet Peeve

[LyraVale]

LMAO I'm with you there. I don't understand why some people are so obsessed with collectibles/TBT but I guess it's a game within a game (inception anyone?). In the end the amount of TBT anyone has doesn't mean s**t other than 1) amount of time spent here 2) amount of effort spent here. I guess they want acknowledgement for their efforts/time

I agree, it's a game. And games are mostly fun when there is competition involved.

But games are also fun when you don't take things too seriously and get stressed or play dirty or whine if you're not "doing well" compared to someone else.

And of course, sometimes people can't help but feel disappointment or envy or anger even, it comes along with the highs and lows of committing your time and energy to something.

Basically, it's like any other game, with the whole range of human emotions and attitudes. I think that makes it even more interesting to participate in.

Oh my gosh I have so many!

not really related too TBT [I love this place] but just whenever I come here my literacy fails so hard!

anyway

the fact that you get so few bells for posting I mean I try and I try and I'm still poor! I come here too escape reality Not be faced with my current financial situation! XD

further on my english: but when people can't take a joke e.g. if it's at a villagers expense, once I made a joke thread about how Hazel had recently moved into my town and how i was upset about it because I don't like her nor do I like her personality group, long story short I was attacked about how I shouldn't be so mean about a fictional character and that seeing as someone didn't agree with me, my opinion didn't count and I HAD too like her (admittedly I was a bit harsh but seriously I'm sure there's that ONE villager you just don't want in your town?)

when traders SUDDENLY lose your item or when they try too clone it and lose it forever, I was up till three in the morning on a school night waiting for a seven eleven set only too be informed that Unfortunately just before the trade the trader tried too clone said Item only too have it dissapear into nothingness

just the general fact that there isn't an app for this I know it's difficult and would be really difficult too implement but it would just make things so much easier if there was an app for this site.

Otherwise I love this site the people here are so friendly (which makes me wonder why I'm here lol)

[Tap Dancer]

That's what I thought too!

Once you get all of the stuff you want, then you just endup gathering a bunch of TBT. XD

That's true! LOL. One day I will have all of the clothes, furniture, and hybrids I want. Then I'll save up and hoarde all of my TBT Bells.

You're talking about duplicating items? That's cheating, so I don't feel bad for anyone who loses things due to that. You get more satisfaction earning things the correct way. (Including buying them from someone who already has them.)

This is the first thing that comes to mind when I see those damn letters

Another pet peeve is when you checking something out of the shop during restock and you put it in your cart and then seconds later when you confirm your purchase it's all gone.

Omg yes the office love it

So I'm pretty lenient and patient with everything and everyone on the forums, but the one thing I can not stand is when people knowingly ignore my PMs... especially when they started them with me. Like I just visited your profile and I know you are still doing stuff, and I can't imagine anyone is so absent-minded to not notice the 1 notification at the top of your screen... #ICantEven

Have you had any experiences like this? what are your TBT Pet peeves?

Same though. I don't like when people say they will add you but never do so you're just left with a blank name in your friends list that you have to delete later.

Actually, there is an app for this site. Or there was, at least. I had it on my phone when I first joined. Try looking it up!

The only pet peeve I have is waiting with my 3DS on and wait for half an hour. No show. I turn my 3DS off to save power. then they apologize for taking so long so I turn it on again. Then I wait some more. Nothing. Rinse and repeat. I know life can get in the way but I can't be doing that for hours.

This is probably my only TBT-specific pet peeve. I don't use any other forums to trade and despite doing many item trades in other games, no one has ever left me waiting for hours, or even days, like on here. I'm generally a very patient person and I give the other trader the benefit of the doubt instead of getting angry, but it is definitely frustrating when I wait for more than half an hour for someone who never shows up and can't be bothered to tell me why. I'm going to have to start implementing a rule with my sales and trades where if it doesn't happen during the first like, 36 hours after we both agree to do it, then I'm just calling it off and looking elsewhere. >_<

I totally understand if it's timezones or being busy, because trust me, I know the feel. But if they literally don't say a word to you about why they disappear, it's like, forget it. ;___;

This actualky has only happened to me a few times, amazingly enough. XD

There are actually TBT to USD exchange rates on this forum.

What.

 

[Pokemanz]

When people just keep ASKING and ASKING for an item.

Someone posted on my shop thread asking for something, so I gave them a price that I thought was fair. They didn't respond until right when I was going to bed, asking for a total lowball price instead. When I got up today, there were three new posts on the thread, plus I had a VM and two PMs. Like, you know people sleep, right?

 

[daniduckyface]

When your post gets deleted and the other off topic posts talking about powersaves are not :^)

 

[EmmaFrost]

When 43824923 people in a thread will make fun of someone's spelling of a word. What if English isn't their first language? It isn't my first language so I guess I'm less inclined to point and laugh at people. Like does it make you feel better about yourself because you can spell a word someone else can't? Grow up.

Reminds me when people got riled up over 'Beau' getting mispronounced, and one such person claiming that anyone mispronouncing the name is ********.

How unfortunate. That's gross. To be honest, there are a couple villager names I'm sure I pronounce wrong as well.

When people grumble that the Mods aren't answering their questions or taking care of their requests. They have lives too! Just be grateful that the bell tree is well kept, unlike some forums! The moderators make lots of that happen, so give them a little respect instead of moaning.
Another thing is when people make Katie threads and looking for my dreamie threads! I try to be nice and say their post might be taken down and that there's a particular thread for that but nope! Most times they're ok with it and thank me but once somebody said
'I know. But I'm in a rush and can't be bothered to post to that thread.' Please bother, guys! On the note of randomly made threads, something that annoys me is when people make multiple art threads! I love art (and I think you're allowed to make multiple art threads but I'm not too sure!) and if you're a keen artist make one big art thread! It's easier, trust me

YESSS!! the museum is so clogged with these multiple threads, you don't NEED 8 different art shops or 5 OC request threads, just put all your art styles/requests in one thread.

I know! It's when somebody makes 1 chibi request thread and another realistic styled art thread and then lots of threads about all the art that they make.

On the subject of art, I get a bit annoyed when somebody makes a request thread and says they will be happy with any art and will pay TBT. Then a kind artist makes a piece for that person and
A) the person says "Oh! The art isn't what I wanted! I only wanted (insert art style here)!
B) the person says thanks and never pays
C) totally doesn't acknowledge the art
That artist made that for you Please atleast say thank you and pay a decent amount!

Wait, what? Isn't his name pronounced like "bo" from little bo peep?

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

I am TIRED of people with avatars depicting shows that I hate.

I put every one of them in my ignore list, except Gallows. Gallows is one of the executives, meaning I'm forced to look at his It's the Super MARIO brother's SUPER show!!! signature. All day, every day. Gallows, if you see this, I thoroughly request you change the GIF in your name on your signature. I know this is pretty bold, coming from a small town peasant to you, a figure of authority, but please listen. Please listen to my request.

Honestly this. Can't say I've experienced it directly here on this forum, but it's super annoying when someone constantly tries to correct someones spelling/grammar/etc. >_<
