What's your ACNL pet peeve?

[Swiftstream]

i HATE having only 10 QR slots

All 40 of my slots are paths, and i have no room left for creativity :'(

The fact that the mail isn't on the top screen bothers me. I have my entire mail storage full and if the mail was just on the top screen, then I could take screenshots of them instead of keeping all the ones I like. I don't have a camera to use other than my 3DS. I had other cameras, but they stopped working or their lens got ruined so everything is always blurry.

Lyle-he NEVER shuts up!
Reese folllowing me around retail
PWP placement(if there's a bloody rock in the way we should be able to break it)
Villager house placement(we should get to choose this)
Lack of bag space and item stacking
It makes zero sense that the people who like you most want to leave the most(it should be the exact opposite)
I hate that we have to read the mail before we can delete it(even if its a furniture order)
When villager a says villager b wants to move but villager b refuses to talk about it
Everyone wants pwps but I am the only one who pays for them
When someone runs up to you desperate for some item you have only to put it in retail 2 days later
That the one item in a villagers house you want is the one item they refuse to part with every time
When someone asks me to get them something(like fruit) and then disappears when you try to bring it to them
Why can't we just get petition signatures in our own freakin town? Are your neighbors not good enough?

Grass wear and the Stalker sellers, they can't leave you alone for one second! DX

 

[mayorvanessa]

ok... got another one that really annoys me. when there are random dead spots in town where bushes just refuse to grow even though you don't have too many bushes in a row.

like right here. these two spots always die and it just makes my paths look ugly. (dunno if i'm just doing something wrong and there aren't actually dead spots though...)

I hate dead spots too! Planned to line my paths with pine trees and azalea bushes but the 12/13th one died

 

[Kindra]

I can handle grass wear.
Permanent dirt spots, on the other hand ...

 

[Ante87]

Grass Wear... and the diving mechanics can make me furious.

 

[Sidewalk]

Need to click 5 times and go through the same long conversation if i wana buy 5 wrapper !Why cant i select the quantity that i want?

And for the sake of everything that is blue, stack them up!

When I get a new move-in and have to re-plant fruit trees. My whole town is fruit trees, so it's inevitable.

When I buy fortune cookies and I get another freaking Pikmin hat. But I just have to get one more Metroid before I quit buying cookies.

And this isn't exactly a pet peeve about the game exactly, or about other players because I have no problem with people who want to do this, but the idea of my own town being wall-to-wall flowers. If that's the sort of thing you enjoy in your Animal Crossing game, more power to you, and I'll totally respect that and not run while I'm in your town, but the idea of my own town being like that is just suffocating to me.

 

[Alienfish]

The diving, because they ALWAYS disappear or go beyond the border out in the sea. Come on game.

Also that you need to wait a day for house renovations and that you can't get multiple a day.

 

[momayo]

ROCKS. And, almost just as annoying, Isabelle's myriad restrictions on PWP placement.

Trellis-lined path, you were just a dream I was never meant to fulfill :c

 

[Alienfish]

Yes, I agree on the PWP crap >_>

Also that the game more or less forces you to check everyday or you will lose a villager... "Oh you forgot to play yesterday? Tough ******* (your favorite villager) is moving tomorrow!"

 

[Splinter]

This is more of a community thing than a game specific, but the word "dreamies" makes me cringe.

 

[effluo]

The inability to move rocks or pay for removal is just.. I hate it so much..

Also really hate that the button to pick up items is the same button to erase a path... Just.. Why?!

 

[babytchi]

What the OP mentioned and also the fact that villagers you're good friends with tend to want to leave the most. I think we should have a little more control over that because running around town making sure someone you want doesn't want to leave is quite frustrating.

I agree, we should have more control. someone on tumblr once suggested that we should be able to give friendship bracelets or something to ensure that certain villagers can't leave.

 

[Yugi Moto]

Items like golden axes where it takes an incredibly long and tedious time to get the item and then when you finally get it you have no use for it anymore because you had use for it months before you ever needed it. You literally have to get pretty darn lucky and get a silver axe spawn at island shop or spending months trying to get the golden axe that you will only need for 1 day (unless you have perfect fruit even then only used every once in a while) Why do axes even break anyways and not the other tools?

How does hitting my shovel with a rock repeatedly not warrant my shovel breaking but an axe can barely handle 3 trees before it crumbles to dust? UGH

Edit: friendship bracelets are a FANTASTIC idea and should be implemented as fast as someone can say syrup waffle frenzy!

 

[GuruGuru214]

This is more of a community thing than a game specific, but the word "dreamies" makes me cringe.

Oh god, I hadn't even thought about that, but me too. I can mostly deal with other people saying it, but I can't. I tried once, but I can't. I'll always lengthen it to "dream villager".

 

[pocky]

I hate it when people visit my town and pick up my clover weeds. I like to leave them there for decoration since they don't affect the perfect town status, I also use a lot of 4 leaf clovers to decorate my town and I don't want them to take them D8

 

[Selky]

Trying to buy bulk wrapping paper and having to go through the same dialogue every single time.
When you give a villager a really nice shirt and they change into the most ugly shirt possible instead...and then you notice or 2-3 other villagers copied them and are wearing it too... Apollo, I bought you that gracie tuxedo for a reason and it's not so you can regift it to me five minutes later.

Getting the same campers multiple times...Pate, you're cute but, I didn't invite you the other two times you were here last week for a reason.

When I see a villager and stop to talk to them and then out of nowhere another has the "ping" and runs up to me...so I frantically try to get out of my current conversation thinking the other may be trying to move away...only so they can say, "help me change my catchphrase you changed yesterday...".

Permanent dirt spots, dead spots where trees or bushes don't grow, PWPs always being too close to something (especially when placing bridges), brushing away paths when you are trying to pick up an item, and villagers plopping their house wherever they feel like it.
