What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[INLaw]

Man's gotta eat... and I sold new Mazdas and Jeeps mostly. I drifted a bit in my 20s, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Couldn't decide between being a sophisticated international playboy, a short order cook, a movie producer, a brain surgeon, or one of them double-naught spies. Seriously, from about 25 through 27 I was in search mode and a bit lacking in direction. Chased skirts, played in a blues band, and put off being a real adult for a bit too long.

Brain Surgeon. Alabama. Brother I can tap this rich vein all day. Thank god you got a great sense of humor bc I got a big mouth for a small man.

Meh, it's easy to have a great sense of humor and not be sensitive and insecure when you're exceptionally handsome, wickedly funny, ridiculously brilliant, and have a 9" penis... oh, and humble about it all.

So then when we starting this IE band? Both koons on drum like we are the dead. However i refuse to play bass like Phil Lesh, man plays like a jazz guitar soloing to not the song they are playing.

Not sure why you described me when he was talking about you.

I've got a lawyer and I'm in an at fault state basically I lucked the fuck out with how the guy explained himself to police basically said somethings that royally fucked his insurance company

 

[Irish#1]

We ordered takeout from Texas Roadhouse. Got the typical text that our order was ready and to rely "I'm here" when we arrive. We pull into one of the takeout parking spots. Sign says text us to let us know you're here. Naturally, I text "I'm here". So 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes go by. I called the restaurant and explained the situation. The lady that answered says, "We don't bring it out to your car anymore. You need to come to the window". They might want to think about changing the text message and signs if they don't do that anymore.

Now this would really grind my gears.

Another thing that grinds my gears is when you go to the gas station and the pump won't stay engaged, or pumps real slow. It makes me violently angry.

My wife's van has a capless fuel filler... but I guess because of the way the system works, it senses the tank as "full" at almost all times, so you start pumping gas, get about a dollar into the tank, and then CLICK like it's full.

You have to turn the gas pump handle upside down to get the thing to operate properly. Dumbest shit ever, and my blood pressure goes up whenever I have to put gas in her van... which is basically every time I have to drive it for whatever reason.

What grinds my gears?

1. Capless Fuel Fillers that don't work properly, resulting in having to operate the gas pump handle upside down
2. My wife driving around on 'E' constantly for no reason

Maybe number 1 grinds your wife's gears as well. Maybe the only reason she's driving around on E is that she knows her loving husband will fill up her tank for her eventually. LOL

I have the opposite qualms with my fiance. She thinks she's going to run out of gas when she's on half a tank. Not like we live in a rural area where there won't be a gas station for 100 miles- you can fill up here every other corner lol.

I am a caffeine addict, so when I’m out I get gas and caffeine. I rarely run low on energy or gas.

What really grinds my gears is when my daughters cat or my sons cat needs their littler box cleaned so the cat comes down to my bedroom and start peeing on all my clothes, towels, and sometimes bed.

Then also when any cat is hungry they have somehow learned that they get everyone’s attention by clawing the leather furniture so when I chase them down the hallway they run right to their food bowl…. even after they were just fed. Never ever again am I purchasing or acquiring an animal. I might as well adopt a real child at this point.

Look at these betas in the comments complaining because they let their women operate automobiles,…

 

[StPaul_Irish]

I will literally explain something to my 7 year old son like I am talking to a 7 year old who is learning English for the first time. Slow, broken into chunks, looking for and asking for engagement, all the stuff you are supposed to do when explaining something SUPER ADVANCED like "putting your dishes in the sink when you are done".

Only for me to finish, and ask him to tell me what I just asked, and for him to say....

"Um, brush my teeth and go potty?"


WT - HOLY - F

That's why dogs are better

A few comments:

Who let's their son get a cat?
Welcome to parenting

We have a cat my wife got about 18 years ago. His name is Mr. Asshole. You can figure why. Told the wife she takes care of feeding him and the litter box. She got mad the first couple of times she asked me to clean the litter box and I refused, but I stayed strong. I won’t be surprised if he lives to be 20 or older.

Since we are on the subject of pets, what's with everyone having to bring their freaking dogs everywhere lately? I don't have a problem with dogs, but I', tired of grocery stores and restaurants becoming dog parks. Seriously, take it for a walk before you leave home, give it food & water, and the dog will be fine. Bunch of soft-ass, co-dependent jag-offs that need to bring their pets every damn place and think it's cool. Oh, but if I want to stroll into the tailor's shop for a mid-weight three-piece suit while holding an open bottle of whiskey and a forty-five, it's a big damn problem. What's the world coming to?

I am a dog owner and dog lover, but yeah 💯.

That and people calling themselves Dog moms or having fur babies.

 

[IrishLion]

Was in Chipotle for lunch the other day (fuck off Acamp).

Dude had his tiny little dog in his arms, carrying it through the line and then while he was getting his napkins, hot sauce, etc. Think it was a Maltese or something similar, because it had that dirty ass fur on its face and around the eyes.

Dude... I don't care if you think your dog is classy, high-end, or unobtrusive because it's tiny. And I love all dogs! But I don't want your dog in this restaurant with my food when you're handling your dog with your hands, and then handling the shared restaurant shit with your hands, too. That's just inconsiderate.

And this is a Chipotle with outside seating available! Could've easily kept the thing out on a patio.

I'll say this as a dog owner, pre-covid before working remotely/hybrid exclusively, I used to be the guy who took my dog to places where they were WELCOMED, like outdoor patio restaurants, but never grocerys stores. From the point of view of someone who worked M-F in an office with a 45+ minute commute, I was gone from 7am until at least 6pm almost every day. That's a really long time, for consecutive days, to leave your dog alone. So, yeah, I'd take them to places where I knew they were 100% welcome but I didn't push my limits to other places like the movie or grocery stores.

Since COVID and now I work remotely, I don't bother with any of that anymore. It was more guilty owner/quality of life stuff prior, but I largely agree with you. If it's not posted that dogs are welcomed, probably shouldn't push it. And I can't stand the people who fake/abuse the emotional support angle just to have clearance to bring them everywhere.

This $&#!&*%&#_*#&%! drives me nuts! I'll admit that I'm a bit of a germaphobe. Not crazy, but wash your hands before handling food or dishes, wash your hands after the bathroom, petting the dog, touching doorknobs, and etc. These nasty #*&^#'s who can't go to the grocery store without bringing fluffy and insist on putting its nasty little butt in the cart make me want to kill them and their stupid dog. Bitch, that's where I put my lettuce and tomatoes and all my other groceries. If you don't mind Fluffy's butt germs on your groceries that's your problem, but I do! Nasty MF'ers!

What type of man has a lap dog? A Michigan fan comes to mind.

People who do that help me out, and I am appreciative-let's me recognize the Beta's. Lap dogs and Crocs

 

[Irish#1]

We don't take our two to the stores or restaurants. Grinds my gears when others do. They're in unfamiliar surroundings. You never know when the slightest thing will set them off and they end up biting someone or get into it with another dog. We use to take them with us to watch our granddaughter play softball, but some dumbass wasn't paying attention and their dog bit someone so they outlawed them from games.

 

[IrishWayDomer]

People will get told here and there by a stranger on the street "OMG I love your dog, can I pet it, I love dogs" and take that to think everyone is a seal-clapping child happy to see a dog in any and every situation.

 

[ACamp1900]

My wife has some friends that have a small lil lap dog. It pees on everything and tries to attack any other animal it sees so of course they bring it EVERYWHERE. Restaurants, gyms, our house for gatherings, it’s ridiculous… it tried to kill my cat in OUR HOUSE a few months back and they legit didn’t blink like, ‘whys a cat even here?’… ‘of course we don’t have a leash, why would we have that?’ . Then of course it sprayed a chair and they again acted like, ‘lol, isn’t that funny?!’

I could have legit skewered that dog and made Kung Pao and fed it to them.

I allow my family to have pets. Cats smell and dogs seem to easy to become your friend and I honestly don’t have time for more friends or to be tripping over them because they crave too much attention. I am not sure why any high functioning adult likes pets. Maybe I need to relax… but I travel a lot for work and my family could come with me if not for having to find care for the animals. Big mistake that I will only be relieved of when my kids leave or the pets die…

Several years ago my boss brought her dog to work, I was like WTF. Who does that?

Well, she unfortunately told us when the dog gets hyper, it pees.

Yes, I freaked the dog out, and yes, it peed. I laughed and walked away. Boss was cursing at me.... Leapfrogged that boss in a year. What a POS.

 

[Blazers46]

While on the topic of pets… I don’t understand pet people with cats and dogs but wtf if up with these people with goats and donkeys they just keep as pets? I feel like this is becoming the thing to do and it just seems wasteful. Absolutely zero utility/practicality but to own them as pets.
