What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[IrishInFl]

WARNING! HUGE NERD ALERT!

Ya know what really grinds my gears? Just about every ending to any anime ever. Have you ever seen Neon Genesis Evangellion and said "wow, that ending sucked"? Then watch the NGE movies and saw that the original endings would have sucked even more?!?!!

for those that work in an office building:

i can't stand those individuals that break "man-law". on my floor we have five stalls and three urinals in our men's room.

how come people can't use simple logic and use stalls 1, 3 & 5 for sit down operations only????? how come when i'm in stall five, some numbnutz man-law breaker comes in and sits in stall 4, right next to me when all other stalls are free????

i'm dead serious. it annoys the hell out of me.

also, why does one moron come in to use the center urinal???? really????

man-law for 3 urinals: use 1 & 3 only. if occupied, use stalls 2 & 4 for stand up operations only.

man-law for 5 stalls: use 1, 3 & 5 only. if occupied, find another dang men's room....trust me, there are plenty in the building.

okay, i'm off my soap box. but i really have the urge to bring an air horn to work and when the next idiot sits next to me, i'm going to point it under the bulkhead and let it blow. that'll help scare the CRAP out of them.

+10...great post. I would add the POPPY IS SLOPPY to Man-law. Wash your F*cing hands after you take a ****/

Agree. Nothing is more disgusting than seeing someone just walk out of the restroom without washing. Another thing is when people do not say thank you when you hold the door open for them. It's called manners. I am doing the courtesy of holding the door open it is not an obligation. Those are the same people who would cuss you out if you didn't

And... DON'T talk to me while I'm there. Save the chit-chat for the water cooler. Leave me the he!! alone in there.

I'm with ya....but I'll just "choke the turtle" until I get home. Hate being in those situations and as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz once said, "There's no place like home....There's no place like home."

People who take the last scrap of toilet paper and don't replace it.

Agree 100%. When i hold the door for someone and they dont say anything i say very loud "you are welcome!" Jackwagons.

I hate the fact they we as a society are getting away from Good Manners. sad.

OMG so true. It's so damn awkward. Especially if its your client/boss and you don't feel like you can just ignore them and make an escape.

I freaking hate that.... I'm pretty OCD anyways but little stuff like that just drives me straight up the wall.

I held a door once for this lady with suspiciously short hair, as she was walking out she says to me "Don't hold that door for me because I'm a woman!" I replied "I didn't hold it cause your a woman, I held it cause your old!". She turned red and walked away with her lady friend laughing at her.

Nice. Stay thirsty, my friend!

You've gained legendary status with one post. Epic.

 

[military_irish]

Something along the lines of holding the door. I hate holding a door for an "attractive" woman and they say " I am not interested so you don't need to open the door." What!?! I have had that happen a few times. I just want to trip them as they walk through the door. I am constantly told I am too polite though. So I'll just suck up my pride and walk away.

Stop staring at their chest as you open the door....

When people get certain body parts "enhanced" and then get upset when people look at it. What did they expect was going to happen?

we have those idiots as well. or just as bad, the one's that try to cover it up...the splash and dashers; where all they do is turn on the sink and rinse their hands, not wash them.

just gross and disgusting.

...or make eye contact. man-laws are pretty simple. i don't understand these yahoos that can't follow 'em.

Shall we start a Man Law thread? Especially for the Young Jedi's coming up behind the old a$$e$ like me.....just a thought.

I think thats a great idea! I might be able to contribute. I absolutely love Notre Dame football but I can speak more knowledgeably of being old : )

 

[BeauBenken]

I hate that I was always taught to be interested in a woman's day, life, etc., but sometimes they get ****** because I ask questions. WTF. Pick a side. Do you want me to be interested in whatever it is you do or not?

No. I don't. I mean, my opinion doesn't count for much because I am not like any woman I know, mostly because they get on my nerves. A simple "Hey beautiful how was your day" when I come home from work, will suffice with me. If you start asking too many questions without any real lead, it makes me feel like I have to return the favor, and well, some things you men do bore me to death. One word of advice though, if you ask a woman what's wrong, and she says "nothing" WALK AWAY. Go read a book, go for a jog, eat a sandwich, just do NOT start guessing. If you guess you're giving her 99 more reasons to be pissed at you.

For example, for years all my "girlfriends" ever did was throw a hissy everytime their man mentioned the words "strip and Club" in the same sentence. I went to one this weekend with my cousin for her bachelorette party. One side is topless dancing because they serve alcohol, the other is totally nude, and no booze. Both were LAME. I mean LAME. I want to slap every girl who ever had an issue with this and tell them it's a snooze fest. Bouncers everywhere, tapping dudes with flashlights if they don't sit on their hands, and not one nice rack in the place. I guess that grinded my gears. I feel like I just discovered a big secret hideout for men and I couldn't have been more WTF about it. haha

If they bring it, pretend to care. Otherwise, make pretend like it never occurred to you that anything might have happened while you weren't there. It's better for everyone this way.

On a side note, yes, walk away, just don't expect that to be the end of it. At this point there is NOTHING you can do or say to keep from getting yourself into more ****. Doesn't matter if you've actually effed up or not, just be prepared to apologize without even knowing why.

That's some of the best advice you'll ever get buddy.

I prefer to skip away singing this:

Nothing like a little fear to take the edge off a woman's anger. "Is he really crazy? He's just joking. Isn't he...?"

A lady friend of mine posted this to her Facebook wall:


HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN:
Wine her. Dine her. Call her. Hold her. Surprise her. Compliment her. Smile at her. Listen to her. Laugh with her. Cry with her. Romance her. Encourage her. Believe in her. Cuddle with her. Give her jewelry. Buy her flowers. Hold her hand. Write love letters to her. Go to the ends of the earth and back again for her.
HOW TO TREAT A MAN:
Show up naked. Bring chicken wings & beer. Don't block the TV.

Who doesn't?... I may go skipping down the street with my wife and children in tow singing that little ditty. It'll feel like a hundred dollars.

Anybody ever have their wife/gf punch them while they're asleep?
That kinda grinds my gears.
