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 have one addition to your otherwise fine list. I was actually thinking just earlier today about how much it annoys me when people mess with their font size on LJ. Making your text tiny does not make you cool, unique or interesting. It just makes your text several orders of magnitude more difficult to read, and what you write normally isn't worth reading anyway. And that goes double if you're posting to a community; do it in your own journal and I'll be somewhat peeved but respect that you can do what you want there, but if you're in a community please try to be considerate. Grargh. Stab. Kill.

Adding that now.

And, tangentially, the people who think it's okay to post to a community in 'No capital' speak. They think it makes them cool but it's the LJ equiavlent of running through a Starbucks shouting 'I'm an inconsiderate stain of uncertain origin!'

Type like a weirdo in your own journal, don't spit on communities.

i'd rather have this THAN HAVE THIS.
