Things which irritate me on LJ

[conuly]

1. People who center all their text. Do you have any idea how hard that is to read? Stop doing that. There's a reason text doesn't automatically center.
2. People who fuck with the font colors. If we wanted our font to be in a different color, we'd set it to do that on our friends pages, or within our browser's settings. Stop that. It's not cool, interesting, or worthwhile, it's just hard to read. Oh, and fucking with font sizes? Unless you have a very good reason for this (and it has to be a very good reason, mind) don't do it. It's stupid.
3. People who don't know basic or LJ-HTML, but instead of finding out how to do the HTML instead whine "I'm so sorry I can't do this right" when posting. Use your brain and read the fucking FAQ for a change.
4. Actually, that's it.

Gah, all three things in one half-hour. This must be my lucky day.

Oh, no, wait, I forgot chtspk. Yeah, that sucks. STOP IT.

Oh yes, and large images. WTF is wrong with you? Don't you see what that does to your own journal, and you have to inflict it on random strangers?

I only tolerate font-color changes in one person, because it's part of her core personality. The centering thing annoys me, too, as do the big pictures and the "I dunno HTML DUH!" folks.

Also, people who sign their posts and comments drive me batshit. This is LJ, folks, not a discussion board, email list, or newsgroup.

I don't mind the post sigs - because I know where people get the habit from.

But the centering... ARG! And it was your convo with that person on autism which prompted this post, btw. I don't know how you knew she wasn't reading your comments, because there was on way on earth I could read hers.

There is no earthly reason to type like this. It causes an insane amount of eyestrain, and it makes it very difficult for certain parties (me) to know where lines begin and end. Why on earth should we read your drivel if you can't even be bothered to show the slightest bit of courtesy to us? It takes you more effort to center text!
