What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Irish Insanity]

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.

Reps, I'm living this life right now too!

Fatherhood.

Not a single one of us would trade it for anything.

Stay strong, gents. I'm nine months in and there's nary a single drop of spitup anymore.

Never had either of mine spit up once, true story.

Mine has spit up directly into my mouth on three occasions.

"Don't toss the baby, she just ate," my wife said...

People that feel the need to hit "Reply All". SWEET GOD!!! STOOOOOPPPP!!!!

People who are indecisive. Shit annoys the fuck out of me. Just make a decision and live with it. It's not that hard to pick a restaurant, a pair of socks, flour or corn tortillas.

And cheap people that have money. Once a friend (has money) drove 10 miles to save a $1 off of rice pudding. WTF???

Unless your friend rode his bike, the MPG's necessary for 10 miles cost him more than $1. That's not cheap... that's stupid...

 

[ACamp1900]

I know people who drive to the other side of town for 10 cent a gallon cheaper gas... smh

Unless he drives a Prius.

People who drive Prius.

Was watching "The Price is Right" the other day, and they now have a MALE model. WTF......"Barker's Babes" was changed to a more PC "Barker's Beauties" years ago, and now we have.......this?!?!?

I would gladly pay him the dollar instead of wasting 30 minutes of my life. He is also the guy when I'm paying the bill and leaving the tip for a restaurant says it's too much. just thinking about cheapness is making me irritated.

He is cheap and stupid.

You suck. All of my children had really bad reflux (all had to take medicine, one had had it so bad that they scoped him at 9 months to make sure that nothing was seriously wrong). Spit-up is a breeze though compared to when you are holding your child and they poop out of their diaper and it ends up all over you. ileof:

 

[ACamp1900]

We were also very lucky in sleeping through the night, never had any real issues there... I am trying to convince her to have one more though so I am sure if I'm successful it'll all catch up to me...

To be fair, the viewing crowd is probably a large percentage female.

None of my kids were that bad with spit up as babies. It was probably the most frequent with my daughter when she was under 9 months. For whatever reason my 3 year old son has been spitting up in restaurants lately though. Don't know if he is just eating too fast or what, but he'll start coughing (Not choking), it looks like he's going to get sick, and the gag reflex will cause projectile food to shoot out. It's happened twice in the last two weeks now, and a 3rd time probably 4-5 months ago. One time was at a fairly nice restaurant, the other a Chinese buffet I think he's just eating too quick, because it seems to happen early in the meal and then he's fine.

It would be no big deal if it happened at home, but my wife has social anxiety issues and she gets mortified when it happens in a restaurant. I think it's fairly funny, but only because it's just happened a few times and isn't a big concern.

Here's one, older people who still cling to the races shouldn't inter-marry stuff. Sunday after church we are at a local spot having brunch... we sit down and right after us another inter couple sits behind us... there is an elderly couple across the isle from us and they show very noticeable disgust at both my wife and I and the other couple... pretty clear as to why... the elderly woman even says loud enough so all can hear, "I never thought I'd see the day." to her husband...

should have responded back "we're surprised you're still alive too!"

I started talking out loud about how Scottish people are known to have tremendous anger and how much better it is to be in a relationship with someone who can actually cook decent foods... lol... I will admit I fought 'jackass' with 'jackass'...

it is the most effective

 

[ulukinatme]

Elderly people certainly seem to be more intolerant. Many just haven't adapted to issues like race, and many can't change the way they think and feel regarding those issues.

That type of behavior needs to be called out on the spot. Even if it were my grandmother, I'd want someone to stand up and publicly call them out for their hateful words. I understand it'll further ruin, what was supposed to be a fun event, but that kind of stuff continues happening until it's called out.

I don't think it calls for cursing out an old couple but certainly a "canned response" wouldn't be bad so you can set them on their way. Something along the lines of Jesus and love and acceptance and not being an intolerant Pharisee, etc. I think that'd hit home enough to cause them to shut their mouths.

Of course, easier said than done but you may help prevent that from happening to someone else in the future. I don't know what it's like but I hope that's how I'd respond.

Grinds my gears, mildly: I can't tell any more if ppl whose political viewpoints appear extremely dissimilar from my own are trolling or insane.

I feel like every time I read some crazy poltical shit, I think to myself, "That dude really believes that nonsense?"

 

[IrishLion]

The guy at work who steals your usual parking spot for no reason. He grinds my gears.

Every day, I back into the same spot at the same time. There is a big ass truck that does the same thing, just two isles over. I walk right by it every day when I head towards my building.

The past week and two days now, he's been in my spot. For no reason. The parking lots are virtually empty during the summer, and his spot is available every morning, and yet he's decided to commandeer my spot. AND HIS OLD SPOT IS ACTUALLY CLOSER TO ALL OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE AREA.

Either this guy has it out for me (I have no idea who he is), or he lacks situational/routine awareness, and has no regard whatsoever for common decency.

 

[ulukinatme]

You could bring some chalk with you to work and label it as "Kyle's Spot." That, or you could write "Asshole Parking" like this and it'll keep him out:

Ha, but then I look like the asshole when it keeps him away and I park there!

 

[ulukinatme]

You probably only have to do it once and he'll avoid the spot. Let the rain remove the chalk and you've got your spot back forever as he won't dare touch it again You don't know the guy, right?

Thanks jackass, I'll just stay here a little longer while you make the rest of us wait for your lazy ass
