What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[ab2cmiller]

The people who just leave their shopping cart anywhere randomly in the parking lot might be the lowest form of life on the planet.

The other day I had just parked and a lady was just getting into her car leaving her cart close to her front bumper. I get out of my car and take the cart and I cheerily said, "Thanks for leaving your cart here for me" as I passed by her window. She cheerily said "Your welcome" and laughed sincerely. I think I just made her day. I then told her "evidently you don't grasp sarcasm".

For whatever reason, whenever he throws one of those magnets on a person's vehicle, people just loose their minds.

People keep getting out of their vehicle to throw off the magnets, only for him to throw it back on. I have no idea what is going through their minds. It's a magnet, just drive home and throw it in the trash.

I really hate when we have a silent commitment from a QB and then he reneges and his thread devolves into discussions about food.

We've all been there, amirite?

Conversely, it REALLY grinds my gears when someone totally shits all over a group's coping mechanisms.

It was a long time ago and I can't remember which corner of the interwebs I saw it.

I don't know if I should post this in this thread or in the Career Change thread, but can someone give me the contact information for Cart Narcs? I also am contemplating a career change.

Speaking of parking lots, I make a trip to Lowe's at lunch. As I turn the corner, I have to wait while a 1 ton Ram with a lift kit has to back into a handicap space. The truck has a handicap placard, but it's annoying when two guys hop out and proceed to jump into the bed of the truck with minimal effort. In the next handicap space is a Jeep with no handicap tag or placard.

The fact that decorating for Halloween is still a full month away,… HURRY UP AND GET HERE SPOOKY SEASON!!!

Probably been mentioned, but when you can’t find your favorite shit because the companies decide to stop making it!

But I did find something recently that I am so far impressed with. It’s the Gillette Styler, I picked it up at Walmart the other day for $26 bucks I think. Found it by accident, and so far so good.

Speaking of parking lots - really grinds my gears to see EV parking with charging stations in prime parking spots. WTF, you get the best spot AND free gas? Between EV, pregnant, veteran, handicap etc I'm lucky to find a spot in the back of the parking lot. Always helps the BP as you walk by a dozen empty specialty spots on the trek to the store.

Just curious, in which state(s) have you seen EV parking spots with free charging? I haven’t seen those yet (I have an EV).

That’s cool…..I’ll have to be more aware, maybe there are some around but then again, ‘Bama isn’t overly eco-conscious. I have seen them at hotels in the area where guests can use them but not at general retail spots.

I think most in the state hate the idea. To each his own.

Good to see others from Alabama on IE.

I've been trying to bring some culture and enlightenment to these northern savages for a decade. Glad to have some help.

Don't worry about it. It wouldn't look as good on you.

Seeing small good looking women beat up large athletic muscular men in action movies. It's dumb.

Also, the new Buzz Light Year movie.

I mean umm there are some kind of movies where that works fine just fine and they are conveniently short usually 20 minutes or less which is great for my short attention span

Remodeling the master bath. I'm completely done except for tiling the shower and pan. Why haven't I tiled the shower and pan you ask? Because my bride can't decide on the tile. We've made numerous trips to the tile stores and big box stores, yet she can't make up her mind.

New Mexicans and their food,… they take the oddest methods to cook basic meals and swear it’s authentic,… but the pepper thing gets me,… dude, a green Chile is a green Chile. Where you grow it does not mutate it into a totally different thing but try telling a New Mexican that. I’ve grown green chile in Cali, new mexico and Texas,… all tasted exactly the same but a New Mexican swears on the Bible green chiles green from Cali or Texas are legit inedible but growing it a few feet across the border makes it a gift from god that is the greatest tasting thing on earth. It’s bullshit and beyond annoying in this region

ND now charging $10 for the tunnel tour on Fridays before game day is weak as fuck.

Our town has them in a lot of public places - park nearby, street parking spots. Not sure if you pay at shopping areas with dedicated EV parking (always #2 primo behind handicap spots).

People freeloading on others for free "gas" really grinds my gears.
