You know what really gets on my nerves?  When people take on a stupid persona on the web and persist in sticking to it.

Like if they name themselves after a rat, use a rat avatar, call themselves a rodent whenever they can, and talk about liking cheese all the damn time.  ”Oh, that makes this little rat cry!”  ”This sucks, I need some cheese!” “Us rodents don’t have these problems!”

YOU’RE NOT A FUCKING RAT.  TALK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON, YOU TWAT.

People do this because they’re so scared that they’re uninteresting that they come up with another self and hope it makes them memorable.  IT DOESN’T WORK.  It just makes you really fuckdamn annoying.

It’s even worse when they take on the persona of some character from a stupid book or cartoon or movie.  Now, I’m not saying it’s stupid to use a character name for your web handle and have a matching avatar and signature.  That’s fine.  When you actually pretend to be that person, however, you turn into a douchebag.
