What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Polish Leppy 22]

I wear khakis...

Eddie Bauer Legend Wash Chinos. I have them in four colors. Softest pants on the planet. The reason God invented cotton.

I don't doubt the Eddie Bauer quality. But have you ever heard of/ tried Bill's Khakis?

Maybe your sister in law has some bomb-ass pussy and he doesn't wanna lose it!?!

It would run in the family

When the wife says she wants to wrap the Xmas presents, then proceeds to ask you to get her the scissors, then the tape and then the wrapping paper. "Should I just finish this for you dear?"

Heck no. Wrapping presents sucks.

No, No, No....

He literally sends out mass texts/facebook messages/any social media he can get his hands on to let the whole world know that Andele's is having a deal on Burritos. And sends other "deal of the day" things that are irrelevant to mostly everyone.

He hand delivers a newspaper to my father-in-law and will literally give him a brief summary of all the good stories he should read.

He literally "likes" every facebook post my wife and I post within seconds of posting.

He will ask to clear my dining area before I am even finished with my food.

If you suggest you might be looking for another job or a career in a certian field, you will get a non-stop barage of messages offering his thoughts on how this goal should be attained.

If you say you are going somewhere he will text you directions.

If you need anything, he always "knows a guy".

In the mood for pizza? He knows where the best pizza is in town and has a review for the top 5 choices........ and can tell you the phone number and how to get there.

He lives with his mom, he is a Dolphins fan, sings in his church choir, wears khakis (probably even to bed), and always waits 20 minutes after eating to get into the pool.

Well jokes on him...he's supposed to wait 30 minutes....what a moron!

Of course you do...

Wooly - I work for a top 10 accounting firm and we just went jeans-business casual dress code in the office all days of the year.

Finally catching up with everyone else! Eventually someone will test the waters with a pair of jeans that will have a hole, bleach stain and are pretty worn. It's usually a chick. She'll claim fashion.

Werd. Don't wear pleated khakis. It's unbecoming.

 

[IrishLion]

At work, there is a renovation going on at one of our buildings, so all of the offices have to be moved elsewhere on campus for the next two years.

My department is one of the few cubicle farms on campus. We handle ordering/processing/data-management/etc. We have student workers, and we all have different jobs with different specialties, so we have several "work station" cubicles aside from our own "office cubicles" (there are also several offices in our area, but I don't have enough seniority to get one yet).

What really grinds my gears is when they let one of the displaced departments come in and take over our cubicles, and those people proceed to make a mockery of the work environment that we have created. I do not want to hear your 10-minute phone convo with your friend. I do not want to hear your terrible morning talk-radio over my own, personal ear-buds. It's too loud, AND it's terrible radio.

I don't mind that we're sharing space at all. But when the entire department that we are sharing space with is a bunch of inconsiderate douchers that lack all sense of situational awareness? That really grinds my gears.

We have one girl who shows up every saturday during busy season in yoga pants and a mens hooded sweatshirt.....smh

One day she wore some sort of tight yoga style pants to an SEC bank client i was on. The parter asked "are you really wearing yoga pants"

Her response: "These are professional tights, they have a pleat"

$185!? I get my Eddie Bauers at the outlet for $20.

It's the pleat...

 

[wizards8507]

Of course you do...

Not to work (except on Fridays). Today I am attired as follows:

I don't think a financial professional should be wearing jeans to work Monday through Thursday under any circumstances. When I was at Walt Disney World, they had just switched to jeans-full-time and people looked like absolute slobs. There's a way to wear jeans "smart" and these people didn't know how to do it.

Correct.

Yeah our top men put out a video to announce the change that included a very horrible rendention of what is acceptable and what isnt as far as wearing jeans to the office."

Some are still slow to change - wearing business pro to office regardless.

You're going to wear a full suit in a jeans environment?

 

[NDdomer2]

sorry meant biz casual. yeah we have all over the place. some partners sitll do the full suit. you have a handful of people who still do slacks and dress shirt. but most hte office went to jeans pretty fast.

Thankfully i get to work from home most days im not at client so im currently in bball shorts and a long sleeve t.

People who drive the wrong way down the aisle of a parking lot and get upset because you came from the right direction.

Correct.

As long as the shirt was untucked, that mimics my style. You would most definitely consider me a slob. Often times I'd swap the boots for sandals.

Piece of **** parasites that prey on the elderly. Some scum of a human being just rung up my wife's grandpa for $7k through a scam. Convinced the poor guy to pay them through effing iTunes gift cards. So far that matter... Fuq those cumdrips working at Rite Aid that saw nothing wrong with selling an 80 year old man $7k of gift cards. Fuq...

If you have elderly folks you care about. Do yourself a favor and have a real conversation with them about scams, identity theft, etc. Make sure to tell them to never pay someone or give out any information to someone they don't know. Set up a plan for what they are supposed to do if someone contacts them about offers, insurance, tax refunds, etc.

There's a special place in hell for these sick bastards...

 

[pumpdog20]

When you're at a movie theater and everyone around you is chomping their damn popcorn.

 

[Quinntastic]

There is something so special and amazing about the two posts above being right next to each other. A legit thing to be super pissed about (scamming of the elderly) next to "people chomping on popcorn"

Beautiful!

*starts slow clap*

Let's hope they have a reservation.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Let's hope they have a reservation.

Speaking of reservations, I don't know where else to put this, and it definitely made my eye twitch:

Work with a woman who was bitching today that her family went to Fogo Da Chao Steakhouse (which is always packed, and people reserve a table weeks to months out) on FUCKING VALENTINE'S DAY, and were appalled to find out they were only seating people with reservations. She then proudly said they raised a big stink, and threatened to notify the news of the restaurant's "racist profiling" on who gets in because they wouldn't seat her family.

I deal with this kind of crap all the time. People think they can just stroll into a high end restaurant on a major holiday and get a table. And they are shocked that we are completely booked. And you'll get the clowns who have to throw out some nonsense about being discriminatory or whatever. All of this "customer is always right" BS has turned the average restaurant customer into such an insufferable child. They get told "yes" all the damn time, so when they finally get told "no" then they fly off the handle like a kid who didn't get his participation trophy.

What really grinds my gears? The current epidemic that has people using "it's" in place of "there are." It's hard to describe, so let me illustrate with a Tweet I came across this morning:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelDavSmith">@MichaelDavSmith</a> i was afraid it was gonna be “quick on feet, quick on street.” it’s so many bad ideas there.</p>— El Flaco (@bomani_jones) <a href="https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/714829634580443136">March 29, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"It's so many bad ideas there."

Unless there is some grammatical rule that I'm not aware of, this sh*t is obnoxious. I've seen it on Facebook and Twitter more and more lately. Why????
