As you can tell I'm in a lovely mood today :D There was a similar thread to this on PCG a while ago so I thought I'd ask you guys here, what are you biggest Petz Peeves?
There's always SOMETHING that gets your goat, and although this is only a game~, it's fair to say that a few of us love it and get annoyed if our playtime is ruined.
Remember, if you're going to post as well as vote, no naming names or flame wars - this is purely trivial fun and a chance to vent about your petz peeves. <3
---
1) I HATE when people don't say thank you after I hex/breed/do something for them. It's basic manners.
2) When people accuse me of being "too serious about petz" just because they're bored of it and don't care either way if theives/copiers/collectors/n00bs disrespect people/their petz.
3) If you talk to someone, over PM or instant messenger, and they ignore you despite a) you can see they read your message and b) you KNOW they're there.
4) On the other hand, if I leave AIM on by mistake or something, I come back to hundreds of lines of "Hello? Hi? Hello, are you there?" when it's obvious....I'mmmm not. I've set AIM to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity now to be safe, hah.
5) When people copy others to the point of it being down to the last details. This applies to hexies, or ideas in general. It's annoying.
6) You put up a trades thread and specifically state that you DON'T want Neopoints/P5 bred petz/anything made with non-OW breedfiles. And someone comes along and offers it. Bonus points if they spell the pet's name wrong they're applying for.
7) Guilt trippers.

Voted, others, 'cause I simply couldn't choose one.
- When you get the big white screen come up in Petz. This happens a lot, dammit! ><
- When people adopt -everything- they see. Yes, it's only a game, but still ... It looks so greedy! Not to mention if the pet you fell in love with and really wanted to adopted is amongst that massive list. Bonus points if they just joined the forum and that was their first post.
- When people beg, even after you say 'no.' That is always really, really annoying. :x
- Finding out someone has the exact same pet as you. This personally never happened to me, but I can imagine how pissed I would get!
And what can also be really annoying, is if you're working really hard on a selective breeding project, and your petz keep throwing these .. horrible, mutated alienlike petz with highly mismatched bodies. That can really annoy the hell out of me. xD

- When people adopt everything they see. Usually I take below the maximum of petz, and I'm only "greedy" in my own wanted petz posts. I just hate when people have millions of petz and still adopt from EVERY thread possible.
- Petz that won't pose. That's just annoying.
There's a lot of others, but I can't think atm. x:

^ Agree 100%. I see the same people adopting the maximum amount (usually the first posters and they take, of course, the sexiest petz) and I was to yell at them so badly, ughhhhh. And it doesn't help that they're usually like, "Gah, I'm sorry for taking so many but they're so sexy!" God forbid it's unlimited, then we're all screwed.
I like to throw petz around if I get really really angry. Usually I just look insane because I'm swearing constantly at my screen.
I've had one trade that went on for 6+ months before I just gave up. There was a whole issue going on with me and MPAs and stuff so I can understand if she was wary (actually, she posted on a thread about me and she knew it was me even though the thread was anonymous) but I thought I at least deserved a, "Sorry, I don't really trust you" response rather than just shutting down completely. I've probably traded once since then. This was actually a custom, so not really a trade, but still.
I've seen an old Dalmatian mix adopted out on PA that I adopted years ago, but I never really did anything with the pet so I didn't really care, haha.
I haven't hexed addballz and stuff for a good year or so and now I'm revisiting my old files to try to fix them up and oh my god, the horrors that lie within. Overrides and wacky unanchored addballz galore. It's really bad xD

Basicly everything that's on that list=P. But being so fanatic at showing my petz it gets really frustrating when a pet won't pose right...arghh><
Never had this happen, but I imagine I would feel screwed over when I was trading with someone, but never received the pet? That would really put me off...
And it's also annoying when people are adopting everything they see=S I mean come one? How could you be serious with those petz if you already have 1000+ petz and counting every day...and most of the time you won't see those petz again in crewsites/ show off threads either.
And also...when files corrupt0_o omg, that's one the most annoying things. Of course I keep back ups from my files, but sometimes when I'm busy with breeding a very lovely pet will get corrupt that I didn't get the change to back up yet...
Uhm...yeah=] I guess that's it for now.

lol basically agreeing with everyone on here. I honestly really don't like seeing someone post on at least 6 different adoption threads on EVERY BOARD and ask for the max amount of pets - most of the time, I neverrrr see the pets I adopt out again to those people, not even in a show off thread. I don't usually breed a lot anymore [I'm slowly getting rid of most of my petz ><] but even as just someone that browses the boards to remove threads or just check out what's being adopted, it's a bit annoying, haha.
And oh my goddd, begging. I can't stand that with a passion. An old forum I was on here, yearsss ago, people were constantly begging Loki pups off me and it made me just fed up with the majority of the population there. The one time I DID breed and adopt out pets, two of the people disappeared right after and one bred the hell out of the other. I managed to get them all back but yeahhh, I don't give out Loki pups anymore for that reason :[
Also hate pets that don't pose lol. I'm so guilty of just picking them up and shaking them xD

Oh gosh, I cannot stand when people go crazy and adopt everything. You never see any of the petz again. Or, I guess this goes hand and hand, when people you never see ever just come out and ask to adopt petz. ..And you never see them or the petz again.
I agree with people being far to serious with petz. I might be contradicting myself, but in the end petz are just pixels. I mean, I get attached to them & play with them daily, but if someone throws around petz and sprays with them with the spray bottle I'm not going to yell at them for it. Meh, I dunno.

- When Files Corrupt. Especially when you have a lot of pets, and the file that is corrupt is the pet that you love dearly. <3 - When People are Rude about a game. I've seen people get really pissed off at someone, for saying no to them or something. It's just a game.. and it REALLY ticks me off when I say, "Oh, a few pets ran away today." And there's always one person who comes and says, "YOU SHOULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOUR PETS!" When they are just pixels. And besides, I was busy taking care of my rl pet, thx. - When People Adopt Like, 50 Pets. I get so angry when someone says, "There is NO LIMIT! " And then somebody comes and lists 50 pets. I seriously want to strangle them. A) I think it's greedy. B) Even though they're pixels, they won't be able to take care of all of them! Not naming names, but I know a few people on here that do that. I probably did that too, but I just kinda stopped adopting pets, since I couldn't take care of them. :b

Everything on the list.
~ The fact that I can have, like, 2943759237 petz in my game (not really!) and the only one that gets corrupted is my favorite dog or cat... ~ The white screen just irks me because it always comes up when I'm in a hurry, haha. ~ When people take all the good petz on an adoption thread. :c ~When people are rude to you one minute and then once you have a petz or art or something they want they are all nice and sweet. ~ I also hate, hate, hate when people join the site and there first post is in the hexing request and then they never post again after they get the pet. It's like the hexer took a chance because they know nothing about you and then you poof! Pisses me off. And I'm a fairly mellow person.

~When people are rude to you one minute and then once you have a petz or art or something they want they are all nice and sweet. Ohmaigawd, haha. I had this from one chick who talked about me behind my back a lot... as soon as I start breeding a certain kind of petz, BOOM! She's all nice, backing out of arguments and asking me when the next lot's going on PAC. Pfft.

I think, the thing that I don't like the most is when I trade out the pet, but never get a response from the person I sent it to :/ Especially if I know they're still active.
And the other thing, is broken links. I HATE them D: I always goto people link pages and like 75% of the time, it's a 404 page I click on.

when people treat petz way too seriously and blow up over you not having a pet they gave you anymore or something, and they try to act all cool like "oh ho ho i'm not gonna talk to you because i'm just so mad at you" and then you're left sitting there, dumbfounded, thinking IT'S A CHILD'S GAME.

And oh my goddd, begging. I can't stand that with a passion. Except you can stand my begging.... Cept I don't really beg rofl, I just demand ;D But yeah everything on the list haha. My biggest annoyance at the moment is posing petz because they NEVER pose for me...like at.all. So I just end up flipping them around whatever room they are in, spray them with that water shiz and then lob snowballs at them to get rid of my posing anger haha (along with swearing and shaking my monitor lmao)...thank goodness for PetzA or all my petz would have ran off by now >_>; As for the adopt everything at once in every board that annoys me so much. I'm into the hex breedz only so when I put a batch of them up I just set the limit to one per person to avoid one person taking like five at once. I traded once with someone (I don't remember who) but they wanted a custom cat I had up on PA so I spent two hours changing all the paintballs and stuff to how they wanted it (they asked for the colours to be changed three times ). Eventually she was happy with what I got so I sent the cat over, never got my hexie and I never heard from her again :/ so I'm not all that big on trades anymore unless they send the pet first haha or I can really trust the person.

I go out to the external harddrive and my old computer to see if it's there even if I know it's not because I just feel like, 1millimeter tall when they mention it so I have to go look for it.

-The white screen. Aaaaaaargh. >.> -When people are rude/mean about Petz. Every so often I think people need to remember that it is a game...although I certainly understand not wanting to be taken advantage of or fooled! It's just that sometimes I think things go too far, if that makes sense... -I chose the one about 10-149 being the only textured colors...just because that gets on my nerves sometimes, haha.
