when marines interrupt me doing anything ever as engineer or think that I actually care about the silly 'orders' they try to get me to follow.

This. I remember a round where a boiler was spraying all the nested 'rines with acid thinking it was a stun and I had to tell him to stop. Half the 'rines died

When marines push you for no reason whilst you're engineering.
When marines push you intentionally whilst you're engineering.

When you accidentally push an engineer whilst he's engineering and he gets all pissed off at you. Chill out bruh.

When you have a legitimate plan that might just turn the round in your favour, but no one listens and/or fucking horribly botches it.

When command staff overrule you on the squad channel.
When command staff give orders over the squad channel with a competent SL, therefore lessening their authority.
When command staff do either of the above and your squaddies start dying because of it.

-people who act stupid in order to try and be offensive
-marines who push doctors and engies
-people who ignore orders
-commanders who give orders that are suicide and refuse to listen to reason
-byond crashing
-people who leave wounded people behind and make no attempt to help them
-people who disarm you for shit or push you out of the RO line because they are "sonic"
-most of all the player who rolls a spec, medic, or engie who bails on you to go fight on the front lines because fob duty is "boring"

when people take an important job (especially doctor or medic) but dont even know how to play SS13 properly, let alone their job. (im talking RO's who dont know how to click open their window, docs who dont know damage types, SL's who cant attach webbings, things like that)

When marines have dyed hair.

An IC issue I know, but it's shitty and un-realistic. Imagine how quick a sniper will pick you out when they see your bright-fucking-blazy pink emo-cut against a shitty mud no man's land background or crawling through withering beige brush.

Like that time Aria sided with Rhodes to overthrow Command, armed with a riot gear and the riot shotgun although Rhodes was trying to talk to the Commander and discuss his behavior? ;)
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

First of all she was in there to make sure nobody did anything retarded, two of you were already screaming mutiny. I never fired a shot. I just kinda got lumped in with you guys. That commander was dumb as hell though.
