DEMOCRATS.

Howard Zinn and all his sheeple...


Modern Music and how youth and pop driven it all is... Gaga etc.

and again as a teacher I agree with kissme on the name point... I had a student named Molassya.... pronouned Malaysia... and of course it is these kdis and parents who get up in arms when you pronounce the name wrong...


Movies in general... please make an original movie Hollywood... all these re boots and re tellings suck...

people who talk, text or just straight try to narrate a movie...


ABOVE ALL ELSE...

Bama fans
tOSU fans
Red Sox fans
Raider fans
and whoopie goldbergs gums... ugh.

What really grinds my gears?

When events are promoted using the phrase "First Annual".

People that look at the tattoo of my dogs on leg and then ask, "Are those your dogs?"

People that don't say "please" or "thank you".

Couples that insist on sitting side by side in a restaurant when they are the only people at a table.

Celebrities that think they have a "political voice" that we care about.

People that dress their dogs in anything more than a bandana.

People that talk, or yell things, or don't take off their caps during the National Anthem.

People that litter.

USC fans.

  • People who don't pass on the left-- walking in a hallway, biking on a sidewalk, driving on a street, etc. Welcome to America; pass on the left or GTFO.


  • Drive right, pass left. Its a simple rule, but 85% of Americans are too clueless/brain dead/ignorant to follow it.


    **Unnecessary quotation marks

    **People who dont control their brats

    **Honda's with fart can exhausts

    **Mushrooms

    **USC

    **Skunkbears

    **Obnoxious music

You should drive I-5 here in Oregon. It might as well be called the moron memorial freeway. Thank goodness, I reserve the ability to pass those people on the right, or I would have gone postal long ago.

Conspiracy theories that fly in the face of facts and common sense.

Chain email or FB posts that try to guilt you into resending or reposting.

Everything that has to be a f-ing vampire or zombie nowadays.

People who think they can treat service employees like garbage because they bought a $10 plate of Spaghetti Meatballs.

Taxes.

Computer check-outs that tell you to "remove item from bagging area." There is no item in bagging area!!!!!!

People who argue that one martial art is better than another martial art.

Some absolutely great lists folks....

Here are a few of mine....

People typing loose, when they mean lose.

Fans of other teams in general, but especially the worst type--the bandwagon guy. For example the guy who was born and raised in KC, as were his parents, has NOOOO connection to the Yankees/Red Sox/Lakers/Dolphins/fill in the blank but claims to love them. Upon questioning this "fan" has no real reason why they like the team, and often doesn't know anything about them either. I know a guy born and raised in small town Missouri is a Florida Gators/Oakland Raiders/Yankee fan...I don't know how he looks at himself in the mirror.

People who do anything inconsiderate, out of ignorance or not...the left lane drivers, the ****-head kids not getting out of the way at the mall, movie talkers, etc. etc.....Not sure who is worse, people who don't understand basic rules of society, or the ones who choose to ignore them b/c they think they are more important than everyone else.

Other than that I pretty much like people, and my gears don't get grinded too often. :)

People that do not know how an on ramp works, it is meant for you to get up to speed and just ease into traffic. Don't go 20mph and expect someone to slam on the brakes for you to get on the highway.

Or when there is a sign a mile back that clearly states "Left lane closed ahead" yet people get in the left lane drive as fast as they can just to stop and hope someone lets them over. Then they wonder why there is a traffic jam in the first place.

Incompetent leaders

SEC fans

People who receive welfare checks that use illegal drugs

That my mom goes to the store and the only change in our fridge is that we have more of what we already had.

That whenever I ask for some money to grab a bite of lunch, she suggests I just eat something from the kitchen. Then I say what do we have to eat? And (because of the first thing I mentioned) she says,"...we have sandwich meat."

I'm tired of eating sandwiches and cereal for every meal!

hahahaha I remember days like that. During HS football season, my after practice dinner consisted of overcooked beef, fried potatoes with salsa, and cheese. Come Friday night before the game I couldn't wait for the pregame dinner of Sonic with the team.

When people use the exit lanes to skip traffic. Wow that makes me angry. They are the reason traffic moves so slow in the first place.

Men who feel compelled to drag their wives, gf, or significant others to the football games at the stadium, or to my football parties. Why does this grind my gears? Because 99% of the time I'm in very close proximity to the yapper who has no idea what is going on, so Joe Boyfriend is explaining, and pointing, and yapping while there's a game on. Guys, PLEASE just make like George Jetson and hand over your wallets that day, and spare me the agony. You can have couples bonding sessions away from my game! :)

- People who walk up and cut in front of you in line for things acting like they didnt see you in like before them.

- People who dont use blinkers. Are you serious? The damn blinker requires you to lift like 2 fat fingers off the steering wheel and flip it up or down, and it even shuts itself off afterwards!

-People who dont let you merge or change lanes when you're on the highway and you have your blinker on. Sometimes its obvious they will speed up just so you can't slide over...seriously how much faster are you getting there by running me off the road?

- At work, when there is a long chain email, inititiated by you about a particular issue that needs all hands on deck to resolve and you go through a long detailed explanation of what the issue is, and what everybody needs to do. The email goes back and forth a few times as people provide their input and move the conversation along. Without fail, there is always that one jack*ss m*$&%#&r who chimes in after about 20 emails and says something like "What do you need me to do here" or "whats the problem?"
ARE YOU SERIOUS? Go back and read the mother effing email trail where everything is already spelled out for you just like everybody else who was able to follow what's going on. Why should I have to explain it again just for you becaue you're too lazy to go back and read. This has to be at the top of my list, especially because its usually people making twice what I do who are completely imcompetent.

-When companies bring in outside hires instead of promoting current employees who have worked hard and proven they are more than capable of succeeding in the position, mostly driven by their ability to skimp and pay less.

-When at work people send emails just to say "You're welcome" . Its Ok if every trail just stops at "thank you".

-When you somehow get copied in on a work related email that has absolutely nothing to do with you, and you are only have 2 options - 1. Come off rude saying something along the lines of this has nothing to do with me, please remove me from the trail or 2. Have your inboc relentlessly flooded with responses back and forth in that trail for eternity.

Can you tell I have some email issues at work?

-When D-bag artenders openly give preferrential treatment to females at bars. She's not going home with you, and besides from my experience males tip better and buy more drinks anyhow!

-When you're buddies have ****** girlfriends who constantly walk on them, and they keep going back for more. Strap 'em on dude!

-When you're fresh out of college, etc and every job in the world it seems requires experience, but nobody is willing to take a shot on you and give you the chance to GET THE EXPERIENCE!

-When guys wear skinny jeans, especially guys who arent 5'5 130 lbs and obviously switch hitting. This can be made even worse with the addition of chuck taylor all-stars to the attire.

I could go on for days...

Justin Bieber really grinds my gears.

I would really love to fight that kid. Yeah, I know he is like 17 and weighs about a buck-20 and I am 6'5" and maybe twice his weight, but I would love to beat the snot out of that kid.

John Mayer too. He grinds my gears.

Also:

Stale tortilla chips at Mexican restaurants.

Pop up ads that won't go away and lead to more pop up ads. Like when you "accidentally" click on a porn site and then you hear your wife coming down the hall, so you try to click off the site, but a hundred pop up ads for infinitely worse porn sites fill your screen and your wife enters the room to see you frantically trying to close an ad for a midget beastiality site. You have no other choice but to rip the plug of the whole computer out of the wall. And then the wife notices you have a half chub and thinks it is because of the midgets and animals. That grinds my gears.

Dude! Get outta my head! Nothing is worse than stale chips when you're trying to shoot a flight of tequila and you need something to soak up the booze to make room for more!

People that complain that movie theatre concession prices are too high, and that if you were to lower prices, people would buy more. 100% inaccurate.

Also hate the people that say you should put healthier choices at movie theatres. PEOPLE DON'T BUY THEM!!!!! Do people complain about restaurant prices the way they do movie theatre prices? NO! Don't buy anything!

Do I sound like I have a vested interest? :)

I used to go to the movies at least once a month. I refuse to go anymore because of how expensive everything is. The price of a ticket is the biggest joke. On top of that every movie that gets released is either hit or miss. I used to be able to tell by the trailer if they were going to be any good now its about impossible. I'll just wait for DVD, rent it through Netflix and have my own popcorn. I do miss going to the movies but seriously the tickets are ridiculous.

I was in a restaurant today enjoying a nice meal with the girlfriend, as a couple who had obviously tuned out their screaming child also enjoyed their meal.
This continued for at least 20 minutes and the parents acted as if they were completely unaware that their little sh!t factory was screaming bloody murder.

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR KID!

What really grinds my gears is that my phone only allows me to text 160 characters at a time. Maybe sometimes I want to write more than 160 characters, ever thought of that stupid phone company.

I'm all for people eating their food the way they like it...but it really grinds my gears when people put ketchup on a Bratwurst or when people put freaking mayonnaise on a Pastrami on Rye.

GTFO with that stuff.

I've never understood why people hate to see people eat anything with ketchup, I love a burger with ketchup, hotdogs, and brats. But everyone I know eats burgers with mayo, and hotdogs and brats with mustard.
