False memories are annoying. Especially if you have a few possibilities and all are about as clear as a dream. (Dreams usually aren't recalled in detail, and fuzzy at that.)

Ah, that's not always true though. Being as you're more likely to remember a dream if you wake up during REM sleep.
I do hate realistic dreams though, since I always get confused as to whether or not I dreamt something, or if it actually happened.

((Wow we have a lot of pet peeves))
That reminds me... When I ask a question in OOC, like my comment before my post, and no one answers it I feel like it was completely ignored. Also, when people only read the first line of a post then complain that their character was not interacted with when someone else just did in another post that was rather lengthy to actually accommodate the new person. That really grinds my gears.
Also, when people say someone broke off in mid-sentence and don't use the ellipses, that is (...), to show that there is a continuation. Or when someone corrects the ellipses as 'improper grammar' or whatever. I never had the second part of that in an RP but I did have it for one of my stories once. I was like 'hey, it's better than abusing the comma and semi-colon you newb' in my head then I said to them that it was called an ellipses set and they were like 'whatever. It's still too many.' Argh that just pissed me off. Really it did.
Okay, something else that kind of pisses me off is the concept of dripping. Water, paint, blood, whatever it is that 'drips' is always addressed with one word description. Did it 'ooze' or was it more like a slow stream? Were the drops large or small? Did it make a puddle wherever it was dripping onto? I am a bit guilty of this little peeve myself when I'm on a smaller scale RP but when I want to make my post better this is always something that can use improvement. RPers, not just n00bs, need to learn to describe everything, not just including actions. If you want to flesh out a scene than this is one way to do it. Just like dripping dew, there's fast flowing dew like on a stalk of a flower and slow moving dew on a leaf.
One more thing that kind of works me is the passage of time. If you want to pass time say a specific time of day not 'ten minutes later' because we may forget what time of day we are dealing with in the course of the RP. You could say 'later that afternoon' or 'after sunset' if you are desperate for the day to pass quicker. Just don't say a generic time stamp, okay?

It kinda bugs me that some RPs are stationary in time, alway one time of day or something unless another time is required for the RP or there is a time skip. I'm not sure what causes some RPs to naturally move through time and others to become stationary despise a lot of things and posts happening.

having two stories in the same rp at different times of day, this is actually happening in one of my rp's right now. three people were talking as if it was night but four others, excluding myself, as if it were early in the day, before lunch.

I remember the crack dreams I have. The ones that were so what the ********? that I think I was on crack when I had them (though, for the record I've never done any kind of drugs. Only recommended doses of prescription medication for my ADHD which I no longer take)

I think some groups have trouble getting the scene finished due to timezones, so they wrap it up when they can, then each do a long post to explain what happened with their RPC from the end of that to the current time.

I was replying to Alie.
Time zones suck, and don't follow the sun as they were intended, but a lot of people, no matter the time, would want to be away for the daylight hours and the governments like that people use fewer lights when they sleep at night. The word timezone when applied to RPs is usually intended to mean something more like that the schedules have even more difficulty matching up so that they can be online with the others.
