"Grow up and be a man"

My faith in humanity sinks a little every time i get that.
It is a poor lifeless husk of a man that disallows himself enjoyment just for the sake of appearing extra mature or maskuline.




"You should try a wash"

when someone who barely grasps drybrushing sees a finished best-painted -winning model.


"X unit sucks, you should use Y instead."

So, uncalled for, yet so common.




And the final dreaded question that keeps popping up:


"How much have you spent on this hobby?"

I hate it when people hate on competitive players. Sorry, I AM competitive. I hated it when I played street fighter and people called so-and-so 'cheap' and I don't like it any more when I see it in 40k. I might not use an army thought of as cheesy ( I play tau), but I do play to win. I do try to be mild mannered and polite about it.

This isn't really a thing that one "hears", but... I hate how this one guy at my LGS smells. Ug, really, the guy doesn't bath. No joke.

"How much does it cost to get into this game?"

You always get it as if there is some cheap option out there.(Please don't attempt to suggest any) I've gotten into a lot of games and in the end you are out $200-$300 dollars for an army and rulebooks/army books before you know it

another fun one just for bad timing

My wife is playing Orks, and even she hates it if I do a 40k Ork voice when playing DND.

Due to a rise in lead prices we will be making the following price adjustments.........

Waitaminute... why did the price go up on plastics then?

There are two that always get me.

1) Anytime anyone says Eldars... that drives me mental.

2) Anytime non wargamers refer to models as figurines or action figures, its not the words so much as the tone of voice everyone seems to to put on when they say it. I poke fun at myself with the gf and say "Im off to paint my man-dollies" which for some reason always sounds better. :\

They have done it so many times i almost forgot about those.

Just a pet-peeve:

"Can I borrow your tape measurer?"

Same can be said for Templates, rulebooks, and dice.

Come prepared for hellsake. Unless you're a newb, then I can make the exception. Just gets under my skin.

When people ask 'which team is best'

Or refer to races in the game as 'factions'

GAAAAH!

Oh, and my least favourite? When discussing specific army lists (like one of my themed ones) and say it's 'sub-optimal'. WELL SO FETHING WHAT. I'M PLAYING TO A THEME BEYOND SMASH MY OPPONENT IN THE SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE YOU FETHING CRETIN!

"I'll be outflanking my meltas now..."

Ahh Meltaguns. They love me so much, they feel the need to express it by blowing my poor tanks to tank heaven...

My boss calls them GI-Joes. I just smile and say the are actually orks.

"Oops. Was that your model?"

Sowwy T-T

Firstly, you can type fast and still make a grammatically correct statement.

Secondly, X is better than Y is THE WORST thing ever, as it leads to hour long arguments that lead nowhere and just get me pee'd off.

Finally, my pet hate is "Where's the [insert tiny piece of wargear here] on that model? He/she can't use it."

Oh I'm sorry for not having the time and patience to glue and paint a grenade pack on every marine, a pistol on every marine. Whatever. It states clearly in the rules it's there. Aslong as my squad has the correct main gun it shouldn;t matter whether they've got their pistol + ccw. How many Space Wolves or Chaos Marines do you see with a bolter, pistol, and ccw? I never have. So shush!

Ugh! I need to vent anger more often, I feel so much better now. =p

I hate it when little kids come up and start touching my pieces. Makes me antsy as hell.

Why? One of the Red Shirts, a new one (and very nice one) was playing a game with some other guys, when suddenly, he heard a crack. A little bugger (oops, I mean kid) pressed his elbow on his drop pod.

That kid must be really tall for his age then . The tables are kind of high to lay elbow on i think?

Yeah, when I was working at GW one of the regulars (a phenomenal painter) was playing is first battle with his newly made and painted Battlewagon. Some little kid decides to move it backwards and forwards on the board making engine noises. :O luckily no damage was done, but I had to have a chat to the kid's parents about keeping him under control, as people spend a lot of time and money on their models.

Heh , you'd be very annoyed with me. I mostly only speak like an ork to my freinds the only time you be able to hear me is when I "Waaaaaaaaaagh!"

the only thing I hate hearing: The Price on the kick ass models I want. OH GOD MY WALLET IT...HURTS!

"There are no female gamers. They simply just cannot exist!"

Not exclusive to wargaming, but still just as annoying.

"omg you fail."

Care you explain why? No? You're just going to throw that out there with no backup? Alrighty then.

I don't play anything outside of casual games with friends, so I don't hear a lot of the crap that you all have to put up with. Thank goodness.

"Why are you so upset about little Billy playing with your 'toys?' I'm sure he can find all the pieces if you ask him nicely."

Getting called a furry for sporting a large skaven army .

On a more seirous note, I can't stand it when people make minor adjustments to rules to give themselves the advantage and actively iterate it to make it sound like a real rule. I'm a new player and sometimes this has snuck past me, but nowadays I spend the time to read their codex or clarify rules with other (more trustworthy) players just to make sure so he doesn't pull fast crap on me.

"We need comp or no one will want to come to the tournament"

"We need sports scores or no one will want to come to the tournament"

"Man, (insert army X) is so cheesy and overpowered"

"Fantasy is far more tactical than 40k, everyone in 40k has guns so you just line up and shoot at each other"

Warhammer 40K (Nids and Space Marines) were totally ripped off from the movie "Alien."

Wife when young daughter is reaching for in-game model or piece of terrain:

"Oh just let her hold it for a minute, she won't do any harm."

This! I can't stand it when people say vulgar things out of lack of creativity. I'm all for taunting during and outside of a game. But put some ounce of brainpower into it rather than reaching for the crudest thing that comes to mind. If I wanted to hear that type of language I would go to a bar/arcade/mall/etc.

I don't game too often at stores, even when I was heavily into MTG. I used to hate/love it when everyone at the store assumes your a newbie because you've never been there and then get pissed when you beat them. I say love because it's satisfying beating someone who is so full of themselves they underestimate someone they don't know, which I would think the opposite would be the better option. I saw hate because sometimes the person whines and complains about their luck because it couldn't possibly be that new guy they never met before beat them on his own accord. Just takes the fun out of it for me, and if it's not fun, why bother?

After reading through this thread I realized 90% of what annoys people doesn't bother me, I guess I just ignore it.

"That doesn't seem realistic" is a favorite of mine.

What part of my army of dinosaurs with swords fighting your army of reanimated corpses doesn't seem real to you?
