What Grinds your Gears?

[GT-R_EMOKID]

My latest gripe is girls of around 13 or 14 asking, "You wanna go out with me?" to me in the middle of the street. I'm 17. I listen to Linkin Park, Foo Fighters and the various incarnations of Moon Over The Castle. They listen to JLS, Westlife, Boyzone and Justin Bieber. They have zero appreciation for anyone with above-average intelligence. And to them, anyone who takes anything more than Foundation Level maths is above average.

(Just to tell you, Foundation Level maths is really simple stuff. Click here for an example of the exam for Leaving Cert students. The Leaving Cert is the final exam for 2nd-level (high school) students in Ireland before college.)

The majority of them will still probably fail Foundation Level maths.

Ditto. It just seems stupid they just go ask anyone out even without meeting the person.

The 🤬 of the AI in TOCA Race Driver 3. They put me of the track in almost every race that isn't in a city and if it is they just make me spin.

People who text you while you're at work/driving/busy & then text 10-15 minutes later going, "WTF. Why don't you text me back? That's it, I'm mad".

Seriously, chill out. My friends should know that I don't answer texts in the car & I'll get back to them when I can if I'm busy. Need to find the app. or option that sends people an automatic text back saying, "I'm doing 'this or that', will get back to you asap".

Women.

Women.

True. Did you know women are like slushies? Because they both give you headaches and you keep going back for more.

That I always contradict myself. I'll feel happy, then think of everything that's went wrong, thus making me sad. Also that I never appreciated living in the middle of nowhere until today. I went for an hour long walk today and the only noise to be heard were my footsteps, birds, and the faint sound of tractors in the distance.

Exactly Vandenal, just remember that the small things are to be the most enjoyed (No, don't take it the way women always take it)

I just bought a new headset for my PS3, got home, opened the box assuming the product was inside, only to find a load of cardboard inside instead. Now I have to go all the way back to where I bought the headset from and ask how the hell someone could forget to put the damn product in the box.

When the ISP does not have correct information to connect a 3rd party modem and I have to spend four hours playing with different settings on the WAN connection just to get it to connect to the internet grinds my gears. Does not help that the support kid on the phone checks info papers for different modems. He did not even understand the terminology of a modem! I ended up changing the IP of the new modem to what the old modem had to make it connect to the internet.

Imagine what it'd be like to an average user who wants to save money from the modem rental fee? They would have to hire someone to do it for them or be stuck with a badly designed modem(The download speed doubled with the new modem I got for my Uncle) if they do not have many ISP options due to their location.

Of all things, I hate puppies, they may seem cute, but when you get them. Oh god, they're little feet eating demons. I feel trapped in my room afraid of the roaming devils.

If I were the dad I would sell it and get her a piece of junk.

I'd buy her a Ferrari, then swap the engine with a Prius!

Hey sweatie, I got you a Ferrari!

Oh, yeah thanks.

And the best part is, its fuel economic! And my new Prius has 540hp!

Sweatie? Anyway, that would be one fast Prius.

 

[nick09]

You'd probably make a excuse as to why your Prius engine is loud because it's the top model!

My PC mouse's squeeky scroll wheel. It's 11PM right now and that thing is driving me crazy.

My frequent bad decision making requires me to make a backup plan or scapegoat when I go to do something. Then when I do it I can have a way to clear me out of trouble. I'm a manipulative person who appears to be nice. And I'm used to people assuming I'm the latter. Now it appears that everyone can passby my niceness and see that I'm ignorant and selfish. I really try to be nice but the way I communicate leads people to believe otherwise. I've tried to change but this is who I am. What grinds my gears is that the amount of people who see that I am trying hard to be nice and see that I don't mean to be a complete a** is shrinking. Thus removing me further from society and isolating me quicker.

People, if you go shopping and you pick up merchandise to look at it, kindly PLEASE put it back where you found it or where it belongs... 🤬 I don't like shopping and even I'm not that lazy.

I know right, it's agitating

One of the things that really cheeses me off too. My other half is very good at that, so I follow after and put the item back where it was.

People who try to act like gangsters in my country. You don't look fly when wearing a Toronto Raptors jersey. Also when I'm on a trip and I'm walking in Toronto wearing my Montreal Canadiens hat, I swear I see people reaching for their handguns.

Don't worry, I got your back.
