Things which irritate me on LJ

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?

My vision is slow, because it requires more top-down processing than most people's. I cannot read most things that move. And when I can, it's still obnkoxious and irritating. Plus, then I have distracting movement on the page that I need to cover up.
Stop it people. Just stop it.
All of this goes quadruple when people do it in the *!&~ disability communities.
