What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[palinurus]

Gotcha, I was just curious, it seemed an odd thing...

I may be wrong. I mean, we all have things that bug us, that maybe bother almost nobody else.

Nah, what you said makes sense, I only watch mlb network for baseball, avoid ESPN at all times, and like i said it was just curious

People with no spacial awareness. I was at the Marquette and Butler basketball game on Saturday and you would be amazed at the amount of people standing in the midle of the exit having a conversation. Either extremely ignorant or just rude and they don't give a damn about the 20,000 other people trying to leave.

You sure you weren't at WalMart?

People who ask you a question then interrupt you to ask a completely unrelated question before you finish.

How about people who always frame statements as questions. Just say what you want to say!

When one of your favorite bands(smashing pumpkins) announces a tour date in PHX but only Citi card holders can buy tix for the first 3 days. I could easily apply and get a card, but I'm a man of principle. Fuck Citi and Fuck Live Nation for making music exclusive to a certain group!

Sports casters and occasionally the local news love to do this, but I can't stand when someone reports that "[Enter noun here] hasn't done [Insert metric here] since [Insert a date within last 5 years]." For an example "Alabama hasn't been to the championship game since 2012." Really? That was just a few years ago, it's not that hard to remember! Reports love to add that phrase, or something similar, and it's so damn annoying. It's one thing if we're talking about how Vanderbilt had their first 8 win season since 1982 and the year is 2012, that's a 30 year gap and worth knowing about. No one gives a shit that Alabama hasn't been to the championship in the last 2 years aside from 'Bama fans.

You know i don't really get that mad about you know little things. But sometimes you know there are a few little things people say that you know is really annoying. You know?

I can't stand to be asked the same question 3 or more times, especially if I've given an answer. Dated a girl once that used to ask the same questions over and over, mostly just to annoy me, but sometimes she just did it because that's who she was. "Can we stop by the house to pick something up? Are you sure we can stop by the house? Are we going to stop by the house?" I don't really have a good example, but I'm not that forgetful. It's like having a conversation with a little kid! "Dad what are you doing?" "I'm working." "Daaaad, what are you doing?" "....Working, honey." "Daaaad, what are you..."

people in subaru wagons who won't go faster than 45 mph. I don't always have road rage, but when I do it's usually because of a subaru wagon.

What Really Grinds Your Gears?

Wearing sunglasses backwards or hanging them from the back of your shirt. It's not a "hip, cool tough guy with an edge" look.

OMG thank you. I was just at the airport, and this douchebag had a ridiculously large set of Beats headphones on his temples. Opinions on grown men with Beats headphones aside, why can't you just take them off when not in use? Do you really think anyone (besides angry me) gives a shit you paid $200 for headphones, and proudly want to display them even when not in use?

 

[bkess8]

Really upsets me how PC this world we live in is becoming. Why can't someone just give the real reason why something happened or the real reason they're doing what they're doing?

Your post offends me, and my race... I'm going to sue

It pisses me off when I have to ask someone three times before I get the answer I want..............

That chick, and yes, it's usually a chick, driving in the far left lane just chillin 15 mpg below the speed limit, while everyone else has to move to the right to pass her completely no self awareness having ass...

If you want good tix. You either:
get a CitiCard
get and AMEX card
join a fan club

them's the breaks. not sure what principle it breaks..

it's no worse than in the 80s and 90s when the venue would sell all their premium seats to local ticket agencies, or you'd have to go stand in line. Honestly I like the above. I know exactly what I need to do to get good tix. And I do it.

People who drive under the speed limit in the left lane. Move the **** over.

Wisconsin. WTF is it about Wisconsin drivers? No matter how many lanes there are on the interstate, they just spread out across all of them and drive the same speed in every lane. There will be a line of cars a mile or more long backed up behind somebody in the left lane trying to get by and an oblivious guy in front who won't move over. The majority of the drivers in Wisconsin just don't get the idea of a passing lane: speed up, go past the person you're passing, and move back over to the right. They just think the passing lane is another lane to cruise along in. Drives me nuts every time I go there.

 

[Quinntastic]

I have just *awful* road rage.

You should not be in the left lane on the interstate unless you are going AT LEAST 7 miles over the posted speed limit. If you're worried about getting pulled over, GTFO of the left lane entirely.

Lately it's been the combination of Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith grinding my gears.

People, of any heritage, who have no natural Spanish accent at all whatsoever, who insist anytime you pronounce anything remotely Spanish, or even anything with a freaking "R" in the middle of it, that you must suddenly produce this stupid fake Spanish accent and start rolling 'r's left and right...

When I go to an Italian restaurant I don't purposely make myself sound like some mid 20th century Italian stereotype when I say I'd like a plate of pasta, because, it would be entirely fake, insulting to everyone involved and it would be just flat out stupid. Why we insist on doing this for Spanish words is beyond me. If you have no Spanish accent you have no Spanish accent, period.

end rant.

 

[zelezo vlk]

So you're saying I should stop pronouncing bruschetta correctly?

The mall. You can't just walk around and shop anymore. There are so many kiosks in the middle with aggressive sales people. They step in front of you and start talking and you can't get away. They leave you no choice but to be rude.

This one is new to me:

Changing a baby's diaper and cleaning them up after they make a huge mess from spitting up and $hitting, and then hearing the unmistakeable sound of someone $hitting their pants and puking all over themselves 17 seconds later.
