SL Pet Peeves Meme!

Thank you Alicia for giving us another blog topic!!! Sometimes I just need the inspiration!!

She has asked bloggers to write about their three biggest pet peeves in Second Life, so away we go!

Pet Peeve #1 - Strangers coming into your house to do the nasty on your bed and/or other sex furniture and pose balls. Yuck. There is no way to sterilize a pose ball or wash prim sheets. This peeve is probably behind 99% of the bans lines in SL.

Pet Peeve #2 - Having a bazillion poses in my inventory and not really knowing how to store them or put them in a place I can use them easily and quickly. I have bought umpteen pose stands and modeling huds with the hope that I can get them all in there but I get so confused. I even have a Deluxe Huddles Hud that I can't seem to use properly for this. (Hmmmm...maybe my pet peeve here is actually my stoopidity with scripts and technical things.)

Pet Peeve #3 (This is a real life pet peeve, too.) When designers use exotic names for colors for things that give no clue as to what the actual color of an item is. This gets expecially bad when I am in a hurry and need a specific item from a fat pack. Yes, I can rename everything, but still. (Hmmmmm....maybe this pet peeve is actually that I am too lazy to rename things.)

So, there are my annoyances. What are yours?

  1. I had to lol at the last one you said. Just this evening SL hubby and I were trying to figure out where his green tie was in his inventory. Not under "green", not under "emerald"... was under forest, heh.

    My biggest pet peeve is 10,000 watt facelights, ugh.

  2. People taking textures from other games or thinking they own the rights to halo, star wars, ironman, batman, ghostbusters, transformers basically any franchise, and thinking they are allowed to create and sell those things. That's bullshit and illegal.

    Oh and I do hate the color names on items. You aren't lazy.

  3. I do rename just about everything I purchase asap! I'll even back up my recent items tab to however long it's been, (usually less than a day) so I can find, name, sort into folders!

    color;memory jogging description;designer's name for it;designer;cost (cost if edit right away). Yes omg time consuming but saves me.

    Forest would be a good description for me, but I would have to make it forest green (forest grn), because I'd forget the tie was forest - lol.

    RL tidbit: color names such as forest are not standardized. One manufacturer may call it forest, another may call it mallard & so on.

    One of the things that bugs me is designers naming designs by a person's name (unless it's actually named for a particular person). That's not a description that will help me at all.

  4. Pet Peeve #1 I totally agree on yours. And certainly I have learned not to go AFK while still on a pose ball :-O

    Pet Peeve #2 Just having so many things in my inventory and no good way to find things. I would love to be able to search by note card contents.

    Pet Peeve #3 Poses that don't stay lined up, or are impossible to get in sync to begin with :-O
