I hate people who type slowly.

[Dalamari]

It's ****ing annoying, they only use one finger and it takes them a solid minute to write down one word

I knew someone who typed like 1 word per minute.


I can't bear to watch.

I met this girl in an online game (back before voice chat) and it was torture. She got faster eventually. What was worse, I had to teach her english, because she new very little (she was taking english classes though). She understood mostly only spanish.

Over the years she got much better, but at first it was driving me ****ing crazy. I would ask her a simple question, and I had to wait like a minute (or more!) for her to type a simple 3 word answer, while I stood there. What I won't do for my love...

Eventually, we got a new game with voice chat

Reminds me of the good ol' days of Quakeworld

Me and this girl would be talking while blowing the crap out of people, and they would get pissed. "THIS ISNT A CHAT ROOM!"
ahhh.

 

[Dekstar]

Girls don't really exist.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Yeah, it really is annoying. Ha ha ha!

EDIT: Shit, I just realised that you can't tell how slowly I'm typing when I post on a forum. That's two hours of my life down the drain!

 

[Bad^Hat]

My dad on the computer -

*tak* ...... *tak* .......... *tak* *tak* .... *tak* .................... "How do you spell this? ... Kay." *adjusts glasses* ...... *tak* ............................. *tak* ......... *tak* *tak* *tak* ................................... "How do you spell this?"

lol, you are a genius

Ok, now I really am going to bed.

Lol I used to be a terrible typer. I started to learn how to type while playing cs. I would want to say things you know but could'nt because it took forever to type stuff out. This is before I even knew they had headsets and I think this was 2001. After a month of typing I got much faster. I was taught to use all the fingers on your hand but that was difficult for me. But now I'm super fast and I look at the keyboard but I really don't need to. I only use the 3 middle fingers on my left hand and my index finger on my right hand. I would suggest anybody who cannot type well play an online game that uses text chat like cs.

 

[Qonfused]

It takes my Dad a full minute to type "NFL Draft" into the search box.

 

[Asknoone]

I get criticized for typing too fast. Apparently too hard to follow and very annoying sound.

 

[Remus]

I hate people who type slowly

Well **** you too

 

[DEATHMASTER]

very annoying sound.

?

 

[AtomicSpark]

Loud keyboard with spring action! My roommate searched for a year and spent 60+ dollars on a keyboard that was ancient. He wanted it to sound like it was pouring on a metal roof when he typed.

 

[Krynn72]

Shit, my roomate has one of those. I cant stand it. I can hear him type down the hall and through my door sometimes. Its especially bad when he is internet arguing with his girlfriend and gets mad. Apparently typing harder lets them know you are angry.

Yeah, I get called up on the noise I make typing when someone's in the room trying to watch telly or something

Also, I kinda noticed I might be typing a bit fast just before. I suddenly realised that half the time I typed a question into a chat box the question mark was coming out as "/" - because I'm whacking the key before my pinky has time to press shift :cheese:

 

[Krynn72]

It sucks when you're trying to write a script or something and you type too fast, because then things get really ****ed up if you hit the next key before you hit space bar.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I'd actually like to find an oldschool metal piston keyboard so I can be obnoxious as hell as I type, if anyone can help me I know PC gamer mag had a review of one a few issues ago but it was too expensive D: the firm key-press action makes me type faster and has that authoritarian vibe.


ED: ZOMG http://www.pckeyboard.com/customizer.html

Available with buckling-spring technology, somebody quick get me one!

We call them our "Customizer" keyboards, but quality and durability best describe these classic models. Based on an award winning design, the Customizers combine the same quality and crisp tactile feedback as their IBM predecessors. The Pearl White Customizer 101 is available in either enhanced quiet touch (EQT) or buckling spring (BS) technology The enhanced quiet touch style is great for noise sensitive environments, and the buckling spring model offers a touch that is unparalleled. Once you've experienced the feel of this keyboard, you'll be sold.

Ha! That's exactly like me - I must have the noisiest keyboard on which to clatter and rattle out my text. Except I stole mine. D:

 

[Glirk Dient]

Same...my dad is that way. He takes friggin forever to type anything. He also always reads every word on every page. Even though it might be a EULA or a stupid error message everyone sees a million times he will read every word and then read each option about 10 times. It is painful to watch these people take 5 minutes to hit an accept button or OK.

 

[CyberPitz]

I'll be at work and while I'm on the phone with a customer, I'll be chatting with people...and they will be like, "Holy cow, is that you typing?"

Ugh, I get that at least 5 times a day.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

It really is the only way to type, I love the clatter sound it's orgasmic

Reminds me of the good ol' days of Quakeworld

Me and this 37 year old man, who played out of his best friend's basement, would be talking while blowing the crap out of people, and they would get pissed. "THIS ISNT A CHAT ROOM!"
ahhh.

Fixed.

 

[CyberPitz]

Fixed.

I'd agree if I didn't meet her

Maybe it was his daughter!

Well as long as you don't use an Oak keyboard like Vegeta, people are just jealous because they can't produce the words per minute that you can.

QFT. Another thing that annoys me is when an old person is watching me and is like "wow"

 

[Jintor]

Yeah... touch-typing fast is funky. I don't know anybody else my age who can't type super-fast though.

 

[Danimal]

I scare my teachers when I watch them teach on the other end of the room and type fast at the same time. :/

 

[DEATHMASTER]

my 8 yr old brother and 18 yr old friend both type with 2 fingers, its amazing how fast they are for it though.

 

[Marinmald]

some people learn to type fast using both hands, I do pretty good with just one.....*tak* *fap* *tak* *fap* *tak* *fap* *tak* *fap* *tak* *fap*

 

[achilles_d]

lol when my mum types it sounds like shes playing drums

You haven't seen nothing yet, boy.

 

[Steven]

Who ****ing cares? People bitch about the stupidest of things.

 

[Solaris]

I can type reasonably fast with two fingers on each hand in fact thats all I use.

 

[Qonfused]

my 8 yr old brother and 18 yr old friend both type with 2 fingers, its amazing how fast they are for it though.

I type with 2(+) fingers as well. I don't use the home row technique. I've been typing this way for the longest time, and I type faster than everyone I know.

 

[Taboo]

I went to one of my little sisters open houses once, and in her typing class they had this thing set up where you would type a few paragraphs and it would tell you your gwam. When you got your gwam you were supposed to write it on the wall with your name so the kids could laugh at how terrible you were the next day or something. (alot of the parents got in the tens... one of them got a flat 7 and asked how much you multiply it by to get your actual number)

I got a 142 and there were parents grouping around to watch/ gasp/ OMG. It was pretty funny...
