What Grinds your Gears?

[Daniel]

Just tell their parents (if you know them) that the kids will pay for it if they dent anything. And if no one owns up, they split the payment for all of them...

My dad.

My dad.

A bit same here. I love my dad, but I hate it when he'll watch TV while I'm listening to the radio.

I'm trying to catch up on the top 20 countdown I've been missing for ages and yet I can't hear it all because of some lame concert in a stupid TV show.

 

[AOS-]

My dad's an idiot who thinks he's right all the time...

 

[C-ZETA]

I hate it when he'll watch TV while I'm listening to the radio.

My dad does the exact opposite, when we're watching some games of football he'll turn on his radio, then mute the TV so it's the commentators on the radio, not the TV. The trouble is, my TV is out of sync with real time and when ever someone scores, it doesn't show up for about 2 seconds on the TV. Plus he always puts it on so loud and it's just 🤬 annoying.

Loading times for Madden NFL 08 on the PS2. Love the game but jeez, you think it could get through the menu screens a tad quicker?

 

[Daniel]

Some of the worst loading times I've seen is ModNation Racers on the PS3. Loading times that are longer than needed grind my gears

I honestly don't find them that bad. On the same level as GT5 (which isn't great, but not horrible), if I had to take a guess.

OT: Why does everybody have that Avatar/User Title combination? At least the ponies have their own thread

Problem is in my neighbour hood your more likely to get stabbed by the parents than get an apology, let alone money!

Same goes for the kids....they mouth off knowing you cant touch them 👎

 

[S.Kobayashi]

You could do what my neighbour always did when I was young and we played football near his car or when the ball ended up in his garden. Stab the ball and throw it back.

 

[Lucas]

Forgetting what was I about to search in Google.
Also, GT5 freezing on me on one of the special events.

Corrupted files, b:censored:y mother, English ISP, lack of sleep etc. etc. etc. I don't care what mom thinks right at the moment. Its not what she says, its how she says it. Its the weekend and I just need to relax, and preferably be left alone.

Same here mate.

I have the PSP version and the loading times aren't great in that either.

 

[Camaroyenko]

Ok, here are some things that grind my gears:

Call of Duty-This game is waaaay overrated crap.

Supercars-They're nice in real life, but not in video games. If a Lambo doesn't make it into a driving game, all of a sudden it's a bad game.

The idiot that almost took out our mailbox last night.

Pop music.

Rap music.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

Blue Raspberry Juice. Tastes the exact same as normal raspberry juice. Also oxymorons like jumbo shrimp, 'its a great day for a night game' etc. And finally, high definition color paint. What's next? 3D paint? Color spring loaded of walls so it looks better? No thanks, I'll stick with my CRT, whoops I mean normal paint.

 

[Lucas]

Movies with actors that are not Latin Americans playing Latin Americans. Their voice sounds horrible. Also, hate how they use (in every sentence) 10 english words and 4 spanish words. Who the hell talks like that?

Actually, I quite like Black Ops. Me and a few mates from school go on in the weekends and muck around on it. The multiplayer's overrated, you see so many people going "zOMG NOOB BLA hacKER!! BLA got-a-kill-wid-mah-M203-BLA". I've got a headset, but I only use it when with friends or playing an awesome game of zombies (i.e. everyone has a normal I.Q., awesome signal from everyone and everyone's got a headset).

I don't get what you're trying to say with the supercars... is GT4 a bad game? Is Wipeout HD?

 

[Skython]

My stupid dad, he's wasted half of my weekend, and it's a 4 day weekend if you include the queen's birthday and the Teachers only Day at school. He makes me work like a 🤬 donkey for the day, and I get no free time, and I don't even get paid any 🤬 money for it. When will he realize I don't want to work for free. And if I rage at him about how I refuse to do it, he'll either take away my electricity, or break stuff, or take things away from me. And then I'll end up worse off. WHAT THE 🤬 HAVE I DONE WRONG TO DESERVE THIS 🤬!!!!!!

He's saying the opposite . That the general public thinks "No Lambo, No Ferrari??? Then f:censored: this game!"

What grinds my gears? That everyone is getting premium right now and I cannot. I even asked my dad if I could get a prepaid credit card (with my own money) and he said no.

 

[tfujiwara]

Mosquitos....

 

[W3H5]

^Second that.

 

[AMCNUT]

^^ I also agree with the mosquito thing - now that the nice weather's here even more so!

Also, the fact that YouTube now places ads before some of its videos really annoys me, especially when you're trying to watch a sequential series and there are ads in between every other one...

 

[Racedude]

^Or when you are watching something subtitled and then an ad pops and blocks the subtitles.

+1. 👍

 

[Camaroyenko]

Amen, I'm glad SOMEBODY appreciates the fact that Crap Ops is overrated ¬_¬

 

[AOS-]

When people just can't admit they're ignorant and constantly try to brush it off with a joke.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

My personality would make you nuts then AOS-.

If you're using Google Chrome or Firefox, download ad-block plus. I haven't seen an ad at the beginning of a video in months.


Also, what grinds my gears is that the traffic light at the end of my street stays red for a good 2 minutes. I'm not exaggerating, I've timed it.
It goes faster when it senses someone is there, it has pressure plates right PAST the white line, and I've already stated my feelings on people who refuse to go even a little bit over the white line. So when I'm stuck behind one of those people and the light just turned red, I just get really pissed off.

 

[Azure Flare]

^^^ I know what you mean, there are 3 lights were I live and I swear they are against me. Every time I come to them, they turn red.
