Things that amuse me...
Was playing a bit in Hib and after some nasty had justly eaten the dirt saw this message:
"The invisible hand disappears".
Got strange looks from the rest of the group while I fell about laughing at this and then I explained it and got merely sympathetic looks.
---
Something that makes me chuckle is also the way people come up to each other out of the blue and ask each other how they are specced. Can you imagine if people did this in RL?
In a bar...
"Hey babe, not specced good looks, gone for brains instead?"
Thwack.
Or two guys comparing notes.
"How's yours specced?"
"I've gone 43/36/5 Girth/Length/Endurance. How about you?"
"Gimped, 10/20/50. Will respec when I can afford private healthcare."
Obviously the average Scot has specced 50/20/0 in BeerAbsorb/KebabShopLocating/SocialGrace and is always annoyed that the English get 1.5 spec points per level. In turn the English are annoyed that the Germans get 2.0 spec points per level and moan they haven't had any lovin' since 1966. The French just want to stop people importing foreign spec points and the Irish are too drunk to care.

People that ask for buffs you've already given them. I tend to find it quicker just to recast the spell than explain. Generally, they say thankyou and I just shake my head.
----
People that moan about the xp they are making when you are pulling 3 mobs at a time and basically exploding them. Then you move on to harder mobs which give you higher xp per kill but more downtime and you're only killing one per pull. These peeps are then blissfully happy. Its worth sticking with these mobs just for a quiet life.
----
If you stop pulling for a few moments to tell everyone a joke, you'd better be bloody sure it has a funny punchline. Delaying xp for knock-knock jokes is not a good idea. Lightbulb jokes are also dodgy territory. Quoting Cannon And Ball should have you shot just on principle.
----
Guilds that scream for help when their keep is under attack but don't seem to be around when others are under attack.
----
Ganking known griefers. Immense satisfaction with just a touch of guilt from wondering if you're as bad as the griefers themselves. Ironically, the more people along for the ganking the greater the satisfaction. 3 peeps vs 1, is an ok gank. 4FG rumbling past and finding Griefer X is much more fun. I guess its a social thing. Share with your friends etc.

Have a Happy Monday all
