What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Irish#1]

What's really grinding my gears is looking online and the site shows the car in stock. Talk to a rep and it's sold. The customer had ordered it. Why post it online if it was a customer ordered vehicle? That's happened three times now.

When talking heads reference historical records in a series as a legitimate reason to support their game day pick. What the hell does a game from 10 years ago have to do with the game today? None of the same players are there now, so that means absolutely nothing.

When the lady tries to drag me away from an ND game for a baby shower. And we I say “no”, countering with an “ok, but please don’t drink any beer in that fridge during the game”.

lol - yeah, ok…

Jake, After she leaves, hit the liquor store, get a six pack, drink it then get rid of the evidence. She’ll come home see the beer wasn’t touched and you’ll score brownie points.

When did guys start attending baby showers anyways? I always thought that was a chick thing…

It’s not. You being played son.

Worked out nicely my friend. Baby shower happened to be at a winery. Didn’t know that at the time. Us guys and a few women just hung out by the bar watching games.

Since when is using the word "perfect" after you answer a question come into vogue? This happened to me today while at the doctor.

Admin: Do you have your insurance card?
Me: Yes
Admin: Perfect.

Admin: Can I see your ID?
Me: Sure
Admin: Perfect.

Admin: Is this still your correct address?
Me: Yes
Admin: Perfect.

This went on for several more questions. It's not the first time I've ran into this in the last few months.

It took a while, but I got the ball rolling in 1986 after hearing Run DMC's "Perfection"
Classic long play cultural slang stuff.

Watching people endlessly argue about who should win the MVP….. best player or the mind numbing argument about who is really the most valuable to each team.

A close second is the recent conversation about the 4 CFP teams …. 4 best teams…..4 most deserving.

This is apparently a thing. I hadn't thought about it until your post, but my 10-year-old daughter uses the word perfect this way too.

I've caught myself doing this at work. I think it's less about the repetitive response to someone else's response, and more about positive confirmation that the situation is unfolding in a favorable way when it usually doesn't.

Customer comes in...

ME: Is there an insurance claim open?
CUST: Yes, and I have my claim number and an estimate from the insurance company.
ME: [This person is already on the ball, this process is going to be much easier than usual] Perfect [My afternoon will be a bit easier now]

I actually left off her first question.

Admin: Can I help you?
Me: Yeas, I have an 8:30 appointment.
Admin: Perfect!

Were there other options besides seeing the doctor via appointment? lol

I can see it now.

Emergency Room attendant: Can I help you?
Me: I think I'm having a heart attack.
Emergency Room attendant: Perfect!

I was at the grocery store last night and this woman asked the cashier after every single item she rung (it seemed like it anyway) "How much is that?" You know, there is this incredible invention called a price tag...

 

[zelezo vlk]

Smh all you dummies without any training in Aristotelian thought not understanding that Perfection is the completion of a thing and the response "Perfect" is the acknowledgement that the step or question has been completed.

 

[ab2cmiller]

You know what would be surreal? Not having to hear almost every sports interview have a person talk about something being surreal. Pick a word, any other word.

Like 99 percent of small dogs. We loved our Mackie girl bulldog but she passed away this fall… anyway my mom is having us dog sit for a few days and she has this super annoying poodle-mut thing that is like 3 thousand years old and damnit this thing won’t shut tf up,.. all night long, barking, whimpering, yelping scratching and now it’s morning and it still won’t stop. I swear these small breeds should just be collectively euthanized…

My cats are awesome and could easily beat the shit out of this centuries old dog

 

[ACamp1900]

I have a special needs cat that lost one of its back legs,… this little tri pod cat has bitch smacked this dog a few different times now lol I’m like, ‘get her you crippled bastard!!!’

 

[NorthDakota]

I make exceptions for beagles, hounds, and corgis.

big dogs > cats > small dogs

 

[Irish#1]

We've use to raise Blueticks and have owned five of the six breeds of coonhounds. We had two Redbones until recently when we had to put one to sleep (heart failure). My wife got this little Mountain Feist. It's a pretend dog. Weighs five pounds and won't get much bigger. Our cat is twice as big as this thing, but she's fearless. When the cat comes in from the outside, she immediately jumps on his back. Cat has learned to tolerate her, but it's funny to watch him when he tires of her shenanigans.

 

[NEIIrish]

Anyone that doesn't like dachshunds is a communist that i am willing to go hands on with. I have a full sized weiner and a burnese mountain dog.

Couples who go to the gym together. Seems to be a growing number of younger couples (college aged, early 20s) and I know I sound old, but it just bothers me. Especially the ones who have the audacity to kiss and hug...at the gym. dafuq

PDA is definitely annoying. But staying fit together is great for a marriage.

are you saying they should go to the gym separately?

Agreed. No need for the PDA. But accountability and motivation are great reasons to do so.

Yes. And if you absolutely have to go to the gym together, go to separate areas and do different stuff. There's a couple in my complex that goes to the gym together, they do the same workout together, and they make out half the time. It's absurd.
