What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[no.1IrishFan]

What makes me cringe is when people use could/should/would/might OF.
FFS, this makes my blood boil!

OF FFS?? not following...

 

[no.1IrishFan]

Using "could of" when they mean "could've". They spell it out the way the contraction sounds, even though it makes no sense.
FFS=for fucks sake(I just got lazy).

Thanks,... this is my inner Jedi speaking to me right now:

Assholes. Assholes grind my gears. Case and point:

I was at Costco the other day with my daughter, and all we had was a box of diapers. We are feet from the checkout, and this dickwad with a cart filled to the brim completely cuts us off and pushes ahead of us. I just roll my eyes and take a deep breath, but the guy behind me says "what an asshole." Made me feel a little better.

I recommend that you silently recite the Serenity Prayer, or some variant, as something of a Mantra. It helps one sleep at night.

You also risk unnecessary and unwarranted wrath.

Instant Comma might bite you in the ass:

Or you might, "on" accident, find yourself in this situation:

2014: We're restructuring our fundamental business pillars/objectives/whatever-our-current-"it"-word is for this year. Our focus will be:
Growth-Communication-Diversification-Collaboration
2015: We're restructuring our fundamental business bullshit. Our focus will be:
Expansion-Verbal Expression-Spreading Assets-Working Together
2016: We're restructuring...you get the idea. Our focus will be: The same four ideas from the previous years, but using synonyms or some other relative fucking concepts.

I swear, give me a Thesaurus and I could be a fucking Fortune 500 CEO.

Is there a PO Box in the Cayman Islands where you want it sent?



I only ask 2% of your annual bonus as reasonable compensation.

Not really a gripe, but worth sharing.

So I had pre-ordered "The Shirt". I get an email stating my order had shipped. I click on the tracking number. It's shipping from Mishawaka, so it's being delivered to my home in Indy, approximately 150 miles away.

The tracking number shows it was routed to Perrysburg, OH, 145 miles from Mishawaka. Next it was routed to Independence, KY, 207 miles from Perrysburg. From Independence it's finally being routed to Indy, 107 miles away.

Total trip approximately 460 miles to go 150 miles!

True, there is no logic in logistics!

How about Costco and other membership spots allowing EBT... THAT, ground the living shit out of my gears when I learned that.

So do our local 7-11's for slurpee's as long as you don't put the lid on.

Came to work yesterday and gas was $1.89. Went out for lunch and it was $2.25! WTF?!

Forgive me, how does not putting the lid on allow someone to use EBT?

 

[ulukinatme]

Mindless corporate bullshit.

Did I say this? I meant ALL the mindless corporate bullshit. I feel like the bigger the company, the more needless upper management positions are created, and the greater "need" for stupid programs, company mantras, and inefficient bullshit to bog down processes.

Ulukinatme-You should try the Federal Government then, we are stupid- on steroids!

I'm just one step away from there. I work for a very, very large company that works extensively with state and local Governments as it pertains to taxes, among other things they dabble in.

 

[ginman]

well I can guarantee that working with the govt has made your company stupiderer

 

[ACamp1900]

Because the government won't allow us to cap anything when it's paid for with other people's money.......

 

[wizards8507]

Are you saying you want to shoot people on welfare?

Do you have to remove the wrapper from the frozen burrito? lol

 

[Irish Insanity]

The explanation I was given was something along the lines of 'putting a cap on it makes it prepared food, capless it is grocery'

 

[ginman]

well somebody had to put the sugar and food coloring into the ice! - cap or no cap

My father-in-law is a multi multi millionaire. He is retired but still does some business things and has some side projects to keep a steady income. Last year he lost money. He started getting mail telling him he qualifies for healthcare subsidies and could qualify for other welfare programs. Out of curiosity and because he had the time he wanted to see how much "free stuff" he could get. Now my multi million dollar father-in-law has free healthcare and somehow gets about 100/month food stamps.

I had a family member suggest to me that I should apply for government assistance and get food stamps when I started college.

At the time, I laughed it off thinking, "I have a job on campus, I'll let the people who really need it do their thing, I'll provide for myself."

Three years post-graduation, >$30,000 in debt, I realize now that maybe I should have listened haha.
