Things that bug you in the hobby

[Greasylake]

Mite threads, I think the best part of them is waiting for @boina to come in and get frustrated.

Oh new thing that bugs me: when people make fun of others for naming their Ts. Like, we get it you have so many that it would be a hassle to do it, or you think it's immature. But what's it hurt? People are having fun.

I couldn't agree more. The vast majority of my inverts do not have names, but my "crown jewels" get the name treatment. Only about 10 have names, and they're the ones that I'd keep if I absolutely had to get rid of my collection.

People who edit (mainly oversaturate) photos of their already beautifully colored T’s.

It annoys me when people call abdomens butts.

It's not an 'abdomen' either, technically. It's opisthosoma

Good luck getting people to call it that

If people loves to have a bath into the 'ignorance' (btw, ignorance is the 'vessel' of all disgraces) swamp, like a lovely boar into the first wood, isn't my fault

As a former Italian Liceo Classico student and a traditionalist, my duty is to stick to correct terms/nomenclature: whatever it takes

That's why I call 'tarantulas' Theraphosidae... only because 'tarantula/s' was and is today worldwide accepted doesn't make that correct.

People who think spiders are disgusting. Have you ever post something on social media. And there’s is always one friend/ people comment: ewww, kill, release it outside, etch
Hey ts never failed to fascinate me. There’s always something new keeping them

The fact that people feel the need to post comments like that is just lame. I respect that some people don't like spiders (as a former arachnophobe myself), but it would be appreciated if they'd not have to say all that crap in the comments when we clearly love our spiders.

I mean, I don't like dogs very much, but I don't go around commenting bad things on their pictures if I see them. Imagine the reaction if I copied them and commented 'kill it with fire' on one of those. I'd get practically lynched through my phone screen. (Just to be clear, I would never do that and I disapprove of it. Also I don't wish death or suffering or anything like that to dogs; they're just too energetic for me.)

The people that comment that stuff are all morons seeking attention.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with bringing this thread back, its not like theres any need for another one, and its only from July?

I totally agree, I am OK with dogs but I don't like how they can be attention hogs and can get pretty annoying if not trained properly. I also don't like how dog owners expect you to love their dogs. My friend recently got a Bernese mountain dog and he obsesses over her, he always expects me to freak out and cuddle her every time I see her. The one time I said I didn't really like his dog because it is super poorly trained he freaked out and got mad at me. I also don't like that when I say I don't really like dogs, they say "Well, I don't like any of your pets". I don't care if you like my pets, I like my pets and that's all that matters. (Sorry for the rant)

As for things that bother me about the hobby I definitely hate the "Oh I've been keeping tarantulas for 25 years, I know what I'm doing and you don't," mentality. Sure that's a lot of time but you can always improve your skill set as a keeper.

My own inability to easily catch my T's food. Stupid crickets. Stupid red runners. Stupid wiggly worms.

Let's add on people who think that a 1/2 year old thread is old

Based off of the emote, I think you may be joking here. If so, it went over my head, unfortunately. If not... then I have no idea how to respond without that response coming across (completely unintentionally) as snarky or dickish. My apologies.
