Annoying things about non-gamers

For years, we've endured their criticism. Gamers are immature. Gamers are immoral. Gamers are wasting time and money on silly, stupid toys. Nag nag nag. Blah blah blah.
Now, with those same people snatching up Wiis, fumbling through Guitar Hero and pretending to finally "get" our hobby, it's time to turn the tables. What annoys you the most about non-gamers?
Here's our list of grievances. Share yours below.

I got one. Washing. Who the hell does that anymore? Non-gamers, that's who. And poser gamers. To be a true gamer you have to never take a bath, shower, any of that crap.
Who want's to waste precious gaming time cleaning themselves when there are so many virtual wrongs to right? Non-gamers, that's the answer. Hygenic bastards.

"What's this game about?"
What does that even mean? What genre of game is it? What's the story about? What are you doing at this specific time? Be more specific! It's especially confusing if it's something like a shooter game, with a big gun on it. That rules out the first choice.

"I keep attacking that thing why doesnt anything happen?'
maybe cuz its a rock. i hate that. i hav some non-gamer friends and whenever they come over and we play anything that involves attacking anything the first five minutes is spent explaining that not everything you attack is going to react to it. and besides if nothing happened the last 5000 times u attacked that tree what the hell makes u think that somethings going to happen this time.

People Who Brag Then Don't Care
Yes you waited and killed me when all my shields were gone, good job Mr.Camper, so thanks for yelling it into my face. Btw I just got an Overkill, and so now your screaming "La la la" really loud and can't even say "Nice One!" or "That Looked Tough!", heck you can't even pretend you didn't see it, you just have to go out of your way to belittle my acomplishment.
People Who Beleive Gaming Means You Have No Life
Yes I might play online for an hour or so every day and know the a Hammer On doesn't mean you press the buttons and strum really hard hoping you'll some how break into a super special infinite star power mode where you're a freaking rock god. No that doesn't mean that I don't have a girl friend or go to parties.
People Who Own Wii's But Only Play Casual Games
YES! I know you just have SOO much fun with your Wii and it's little sports games. Now stop trying to convince me to buy one and saying it's so much cooler than anything else. Tell you what? I'll play you at actual bowling or tennis, and if you win I'll get one
Those were a couple of mine, they weren't all that great. The article had some really great ones, I especially liked the one about the people who then go home and watch reality tv shows or whatever and that they're hypocrites.
Great Article!

I hate when people say I should get off my ass and stop playing videogames...to go read a book. Now I'm still sitting, but I'm not using any hand eye coordination!
Damn those critical non-gamers...

-->When a non-gamer asks if they can watch me play, and then instead of sitting on the couch next to me they lean over the back of the couch, inches away from my ear (preferably chewing gum). I guess they don't realize that with some games you actually have to concentrate.
-->When my cat (yes, I consider her a non-gamer) decides to sit right in front of the TV (I guess she likes the warmth), or decides that right when I'm playing a PC strategy game, that's the time to walk over my keyboard, thereby effectively telling my entire, carefully constructed army, to commit suicide.

Here's one: You know how some games like Ratchet and Clank went from ratings like T for teen to E for everyone, well it gets on my nerves when I see kids playing games like that and acting like they know all about it, when they haven't even played the first games, or worse when they're quoting stuff from it >:(

I hate it when I'm like:
Me: "Hey, I just got Half-Life 2! it's so awesome!"
Them: "What's half-life?"
Me: O_O
Them: "But, I just got Super Mario Galaxy! And it's good."
Me: O_O;;

It seems that every time I help a non-gamer in a game, they lose all their IQ points.
I tell them to go left. They look at the controller, look at the screen, go o.O, then turn right into a wall, and can't figure out what the hell is going on. Then they say "this sucks," and give me the controller.

People calling a game stupid just because they don't understand ANYTHING, and severely criticizing anything that involves you, video games, and people who like video games like you. And my entire family, and their friends trying to play the Wii even though they can't.

um...not really. GTA's storyline doesn't change based on the news that day. Most skaters don't act like stoned punks and surfers and guitar hero doesn't teach anyone how to play guitar at all.
