What Grinds your Gears?

[Daniel]

People who say:
"CVT transmissions" = continuously variable transmission transmissions
"ATM machines" = automated teller machine machines.

What about PIN Number = Personal Identification Number Number?
I get that one a lot at work.

Good one Sandwich... and Vehicle Identification Number Number...

Yep. Erm... I'm struggling to think of anymore

Something similar to this is the Sahara Desert. Sahara is Arabic for 'desert'. So when you say 'The Sahara Desert', you're literally saying 'The Desert Desert'.

 

[Azure Flare]

Well, all evidence clearly points to you being a Brony!

I demand to see the evidence!

Do you know what Grinds my Gears? People who say "close" instead of humid. That has annoyed the hell out of me since I can remember.

 

[Minty]

I have never heard that before.

Also, the evidence would be when you qouted the "Must Be Converted" list with your name and replied with "Mission Accomplished"


Also, what grinds my gears is that people park their 🤬 cars where they're blocking off the entrance ramps at a store. When I'm pushing 10 heavy ass groceries carts I would prefer to not have some ass:censored:s Mercedes in the way.
Sorry, I'm on break now and that just really pissed me off.

 

[Spacegoat]

Constant coughing. Sleeping bad because of it is the worst part.

Couldn't agree more, I haven't had a full night's sleep for the past four nights, because of this cold I caught.

The fact I find it hilarious that my life sucks. Big gear grinder. I can't help but laugh. I'm always broke and rarely get to eat out so yeah, its 's despite the fact I am upset. Its hysterical.

That is veery confusing

I know a ton of people who say PSN network.

 

[Ryou]

When my TV has to, "Warm Up", each time I turn it on, the damn thing takes about 20 minutes for it to be clear.

 

[Mark T]

Sitting next to someone who is eating something crunchy. In fact, just in general, hearing the noise of someone eating just makes me want to leave the room.

 

[grrlpurple]

My gears were totally ground after watching a neighbour walk by picking his nose and wiping the bogeys on my garden fence! Ick... how disgusting.

 

[Lucas]

I see I'm not the only one then.







...why me?


- Gears griders-

People who use the terms "win", "epic", "fail" all the time. It makes you look like an idiot.

You think?

Also English ISP's. Grind my gears.

 

[W3H5]

Being woken up in the middle of a great dream grinds my gears.

I was taking a snooze at lunch today in a nursery classroom when my coworkers thought it would be funny lock the door and then pump terribly loud Beiber music through the loud speaker. B*stards!

They claim the tried to wake me the traditional way with a tap and a poke and that they should wake me up so that I wouldn't be late for the meeting.

I think I'll steal all of the computer mouses/ mice? to get back at them tomorrow.

 

[zedextreme8177]

My family except for my mum, dad, grandmom, a few aunts ann uncles, and a few cousins, grinds my gears

 

[DG_Silva]

People taking the mick in iRacing and taking me out for no reason. One person in particular really needs to grow up and stop acting like an idiot.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

Math assignments AND English ISP's and homework from science. All due for next week. That means no free time. That makes me a completely angry and almost-violent 15 year old...

 

[tfujiwara]

When the phone rings while my leg has fallen asleep.

 

[Rey-FD]

Trucks who tailgate you on the freeway

 

[Skython]

I hate people who make everything such a drama and keep on trying to get attention. Why can't they just get over it and move on. STUPID people

 

[AOS-]

People who don't know how to use their own Debit Card.......

 

[xX_F Alonso_Xx]

I agree!

I get annoyed by people who always play Black Ops and never stop talking about it. What is the appeal of that garbage? The graphics are s***, the game is so ******* repetitive online. Run, shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot...

Oh yeah, I hate people who say Need for Speed is better than GT5. What is all this using a Lamborghini as a cop car and what not. Get real people!

Why I won't say that Need For Speed (I assume you mean Hot Pursuit since you mention a Lambo cop car) is technically better than GT5, it is great ARCADE racing. Some GameFAQ user described it as a "supercharged OutRun 2006 C2C".

Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, and a CCX with police lights drifting at 200MPH is just fun.

What grinds my gears: People saying opinions as facts ("this game sucks!" vs. "I don't like this game for reasons x, y and z") and argument-less critics.

 

[Daniel]

I guess he hasn't heard the term 'Apples and Oranges' before.
An apple is different to an orange. But they're both fruit. NFS is different to GT5. They're both racing games...

 

[ivoyared]

I agree!

Heck yeah, they are recycling the same game since MW2 and everyone is buying this 🤬.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

I just ate supper, well I had to reheat it. I fell asleep 5 minutes before it was done beeing cooked. Bad move on my part.

 

[tfujiwara]

People who dislike old skool music.

 

[uMadson?]

People who dislike old skool music.

Same here.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

@tfujiwara, I agree with that one, big time. Older music just seems better. I will say that some of the newer music is good, but in comparison to older music, its just missing something.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

When official suppliers/dealers send you the wrong parts, even though you supply the exact product codes, make, model, model year and confirm exactly what you need!

It's even worse when they make the same mistake multiple times!

 

[Racedude]

Same here.

The other day, I was listening to "Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones)", the group's bully (I can't believe there still are bullies in grade 8) shows up, takes my PSP, listens for 3 seconds and gives it back to me saying "This is s:censored:". I was with my gears ground to their dust. This is the kind of "music" he listens to. Sample. How come he all of a sudden he knows of music a lot more than me? Bullcrap. Reggaeton grinds my gears. It is not even listed as a musical genre.
