What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Irish#1]

Trust me if I could fire myself I would...lol.

Just having some fun. Coached youth football for 13 years.

One year I had a really good team. Most of the kids were perfect for their position. We went undefeated and had never been scored upon up to this game. One of my assistants wanted to move his boy from corner to DE. I kept telling him no because I knew he didn't have the discipline. I finally relented and what do you know? The very first play he's at DE, he falls for the reverse and leaves his side totally uncovered. Kid runs like 50 yards for a TD. Needless to say he didn't play another play at DE. lol We finished undefeated and that was the only points scored against us the entire year.

Not getting all my food when going through the drive thru window.

Seems to be happening more and more lately.

Maybe we should pay those people more.

Just as bad, getting to the window and being told to pull forward to the penalty box because your order isn't ready.

I REALLY HATE it when that happens and your order is a small simple one... but you are book ended by two mini vans with a 450 pound 'winner' behind each wheel who both obviously ordered half the damn menu, thus causing you to have to pull aside....

This, plus with you out of the way in the penalty box, it dis-incentivizes them to get your food to you in a timely manner until they get about 4 deep in the penalty box

On the same note, I get insane with anger when you are in the drive thru or in line inside a restaurant and it's all backed up, you're standing there, or sitting in your car for way too long... and the freakin people in front of you, who waited just as long, FINALLY get to the window to order and they're like, "Oh, yeah, let me look at the menu now and decide what I want..."

mothafuacka!! You've been sitting here for ten minutes!! How do you not know what you're going to order!!!

This happens WAY too often... total lack of situational awareness.

It's probably because they're on their cell phones, posting to Facebook, asking friends what they should order.

 

[ACamp1900]

typically, yep.

How about the people that are fumbling for their wallet, trying to find credit cards or, heaven help us...change. I usually have my wallet out and ready to hand a card over as I'm pulling up to the 1st window. Nothing like sitting behind the 1st window while someone is looking around for a credit card or digging through a purse when you typically have plenty of time to do that prior to taking your order.

.... ugh, or how about the ghetto losers who get every card they have declined right in front of you and then call their bank on their cells to ask wtf... all while never once thinking... maybe I should move aside and let this guy behind me order...

I've seen that happen more than a few times...

 

[ACamp1900]

honestly, when I think about it... 99% of all my gear grinding surrounds someone negatively impacting my time in one form or another... people should respect other people's time so much more than they do.

Don't even worry about it. Great story too.

I find I identify with Cartman much more than would like to admit...

This is outstanding, one of my top 5 comedians, and God rest his soul. Funny funny guy.

How about getting caught behind that person at the grocery store who stops and stares like they just walked into Disney World? Are you high?! Everything is EXACTLY where it was last week! Get outta my way!!

My promise to all of you is that I will never buy a Lincoln vehicle!

Every time I see Matthew McConaughey on their commercials I want to kick his ass!

You have just earned yourself a rep, my friend.

Fuck McConaughey!

Him and Owen Wilson. They look like brothers, and I don't like either of then.

Youth football teams with "Offensive Coordinators". These are kids, you're supposed to be teaching them to run, block, and tackle; not the intricacies of the run and shoot offense. You obviously need multiple coaches because kids have the attention span of a gnat. But you call them "Assistants". If they need titles like "Offensive Coordinator", then you shouldn't have them that close to still developing young minds, anyway.

You wanna know why Redfield and Schmidt can't tackle? Because their coaches in youth football were too busy "game planning" to teach them fundamentals.

Those stupid Buick 24-hour test drive commercials. Guess what? I'll never rent a car again. I'll just test drive a Buick for 24 hours, return it, and then test drive another Buick model for another 24 hours.

Update...blasted the last team we played 26-6. I hate the former offensive coordinator even more now. Lol.

I actually know someone who does a rental car program monthly instead of buying a car. His monthly cost is about the same as a car payment would be. It includes insurance and all repair costs. He can have a new car every week if he'd like. Or just re-rent the same. He never has repair or maintenance expenses.

People who speed through parking lots.

Working third shift IT and people from the states need anything that has to do with work at 1030 at night...on a weekend as their company opens on Monday.

When answering the phone at the help desk.

1) First thank that producer, that is out slinging every day, for making your support position available in the first place. Thank them for making your paycheck happen.

2) Do your job instead of acting like a prick when someone calls in with an issue. After all, that is your fuqing job, to "help".

3) Quit acting like there is distinct protocol vital to national security every time someone calls in.

4) See Rule #1
