What grinds your gears?

[bongo_man]

1. People who walk slow and in clusters, so that you can't walk around them

 

 

 

2. Re-runs

 

 

 

3. Senior drivers

 

 

 

4. Lines

 

 

 

5. Mondays

 

 

 

6. Cars that drive all the way to the side of the road when it's raining so they splash puddles of water on you

 

 

 

7. People who don't put a new bag of milk in the jug, when THEY'RE THE ONES WHO FINISHED IT (this is for Canadians...America and their carton milk...PAH)!

 

 

 

8. When I'm watching YouTube videos, and the loading stops about halfway, so I have to refresh the damn page over and over again until it fully loads!!!

 

 

 

9. Pop-up blockers that DON'T BLOCK THE FREAKING POP-UP!

 

 

 

10. People who overseal pop bottles, so that when you go to open it YOUR HAND BURNS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SPEND 5 MINS RUNNING IT UNDER COLD WATER!! GAHH!! CLOSE THE SEAL PROPERLY DAMNIT!!!

 

 

 

So yeah, that's what grinds my gears...

[buyxneedle]

[Powman3]

You know what grinds my gears?

 

 

 

Not oiling them.

[Craiglowery]

Racial Supremacy

[Wizz]

1.People who just judge me by my sexual orientation [bleep]ing hate them :evil:

[meol]

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Social Inequality.

 

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Discovering my guitar needs some serious tuning.

 

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ My slow internet-connection that doesn't allow me to see any videos without having to wait for most part of it to load.

 

ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Inpatient and/or mean people.

[tripsis]

1. "People who walk slow and in clusters, so that you can't walk around them" (agree with that one 100%.. especially at school when you're going to be late and one more tardy will get you a detention)

 

 

 

2. People who apologize yet do whatever they apologized for again the next day...

 

 

 

[klankaos]

You know what grinds my gears?

 

 

 

Not oiling them.

You're a very literal person. :D

 

 

 

Ehh... People who judge by the surface. So, I guess I'd say the same people who Wizzkid doesn't like.

 

 

 

A little less serious are people on my team who don't try their hardest at hockey. They really make me angry.

[eggzs]

-people who TyPe LyK dIs

 

-people who get run over by trains (you can see it, hear it, feel it comming, it comes in one direction and there are those flashing signals that warn you but they still get run over)

 

-thats all I can think of now

[Nom]

1. Bad grammar. I can not stand to read anything that doesn't flow and is a struggle to understand.

 

 

 

2. The expression "I couldn't care less" constantly being said "I could care less." Seriously, how hard is it to actually think about the meaning of what you are saying?

 

 

 

Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!

[mrpez]

Freshmen that stand in the middle of a crowded school hallway talking, which unfortunately forces me to shove them aside.

That bothers me almost as much as the phrase "rain check": how did that phrase ever come to be; how the heck does it make any sense? Someone explain it to me, 'cause the phrase just annoys the heck outta me...

 

 

 

Err, past 12, I'll make my gigantic list tomorrow or something...

 

 

 

Freshmen that stand in the middle of a crowded school hallway talking, which unfortunately forces me to shove them aside.

 

Wow, we get that too.

 

 

 

Here's a handy analogy to explain my annoyance:

 

 

 

Think of the school as a [human] body, with the rooms serving as organs and the hallways as the circulatory system. A school without frehsmen is like the body of a fit person; there is little cholesterol in the bloodstream, and thus, flow between organs through the various veins and arteries moves quickly. A school with freshmen, on the other hand, is like the body of a fat person- cholesterol piles up in little clumps along the walls [lockers] of the arteries, packing together to allow passage through anywhere between 25% and 75% of the path of the hallway. These cholesterol piles in the veins severely limit flow, causing great annoyance to be instilled in the white and red blood cells trying to pass through, and often such clotting causes them to not arrive at the proper organs or cites at the correct time.

 

 

 

Freshmen are the cholesterol of high school. They must be eliminated.

1. Religion

 

 

 

2. Americans

 

 

 

I have my reasons for hating both, in particular the combination of both.

Give your reasons for hating Americans.

 

 

 

Now, it's a different story if you hate our politicians, but not if you hate our citizens. We have not done a single thing to you guys.

[stillakid]

-when im sitting on a couch and someone sits next to me and like nudges me a little on accident drives me INSANE!

 

 

 

-hiccups

 

 

 

-when no matter how hard i try i can't go to sleep

 

 

 

-when an itch doesnt go away

 

 

 

-when ppl just stand there in the middle of the hallway -.-

 

 

 

-someone telling me to do something faster... :evil:

 

 

 

-my cat at 5am :lol:

[demonfirzen]

Give your reasons for hating Americans.

 

 

 

- Playing online games with Americans, get kicked for having high ping.

 

 

 

- Americans cussing out middle-eastern players, this happens alot more then you think.

 

 

 

- Americans feeling their way of spelling words takes priority over others.

 

 

 

- When I was registering for some games, "Sorry, this is not available in your region".

 

 

 

- They automatically assume their country is the middle of the universe.

 

 

 

- Laugh at others cultures and accents.

 

 

 

Sorry if this is a generalisation, but happens quite often. Sure, i've got quite a few american friends, but even more american enemies.

I think you may just be a psychic. These are two things that actually really make me angry. I thought, honest to god, that I was the only person in the universe that realized what " I could care less " actually meant. I'm certainly the only person I know that's ever said "I couldn't care less". I Nom =)

Eh...maybe that happens. If I play warcraft III, I get kicked a *lot* more by foreign players than I do US players. Why? I have higher ping. I also can't speak their language well so I automatically get kicked, even if I'm a very good player. It's more universal.

 

 

 

- Americans cussing out middle-eastern players, this happens alot more then you think.

 

 

 

Yeah I can see this happening...it's rather unfortunate.

 

 

 

- Americans feeling their way of spelling words takes priority over others.

 

 

 

If they've never heard of another way to spell a word, they'll naturally be inclined to say something should be spelled as they've seen it spelled for their entire lives. I can see why this would annoy you though.

 

 

 

- When I was registering for some games, "Sorry, this is not available in your region".

 

 

 

That's more of a corporate thing.

 

 

 

- They automatically assume their country is the middle of the universe.

 

 

 

Perhaps you can understand this when I give this little example... In Europe, if you travel 300 miles in some direction you'll probably be in another country, or have passed through a few. In America, you'll have gone though one state. Hell, where I live, Canada is to the north by about 800 miles, and then Mexico is to the south west by about 2000. It's a long way to get to any other culture or country. I'm surrounded by America. That and we are a super power. A lot of things happen here.

 

 

 

- Laugh at others cultures and accents.

 

 

 

See the above. People here aren't entirely used to other cultures/accents. The only thing we're used to is some spanish, but that's only if you live in the south west.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry if this is a generalisation, but happens quite often. Sure, i've got quite a few american friends, but even more american enemies.

 

 

 

Was just giving a little insight. I'm not saying that you still shouldn't be annoyed as hell by Americans...I'm just helping you understand why they may be as they are. :)

Pop up blockers that send you a pop up to tell you they blocked a pop up. Just... #-o

[Solidus_77]

- Apathetic people who wait for you to finish a story before saying "I couldn't care less"

 

- Any hyperbolic accusation directed towards me that starts with "You always ...." or "You never..... "

 

- Any accusation based off of assumptions

 

- People who constantly have something to whine or complain about or who act like the whole universe is against them (nothing wrong with them, I just can't stand being around people like that)

 

- Ignorants who use economic arguments without knowing cabbage about economics

 

- Tedious assignments

 

 

 

Here's a situational one:

 

 

 

- When you are on a debate and you just spend a lot of effort proving the thread author wrong then some random guy comes in and says "Lol, yeah I agree with the thread author" so now you're back to square 1 -.-

 

 

 

And the worst one:

 

 

 

- Smart-[wagon] who (purposefully) misinterpret any form of figurative speaking and who miss the point.

[Jordanweb]

1. My ocd that makes me proofread my forum posts multiple times and makes me not post half of my posts after writing them out(especially long ones).

 

 

 

Yeah, if you were wondering i did write a huge list of things that grind my gears but decided not to post it, and proofreaded this post atleast 15 times.

6. Cars that drive all the way to the side of the road when it's raining so they splash puddles of water on you

 

 

That's illegal here. You gotta stop and ask for forgiveness otherwise the pedestrians/whatever can goto the police :

In no particular order...

 

1. People that block up the entire hallway/doorway, and don't move when you say "Excuse me" 5 times. Especially "popular" girls.

 

2. Jocks. (I mean relatively athletic people that judge themselves, and say that they're cool...And go on to pick on everyone for no reason.)

 

3. People who have no idea what they're talking about.

 

4. Spoiled children.

 

5. The mothers of spoiled children. (Occasionally the fathers, but overall, usually mothers)

 

6. Teachers who give a lot of work for no reason.

 

7. Arrogant people.

 

8. Public bathrooms (I wrote an editorial about them :-w )

 

9. Quite a lot of other things...Mainly things that are usually associated with OCD.
