What's grinding my gears today?

People who keep arguing even though that they proved wrong, dozen of times.
 
My mom. Jeez mom, I'm a teenager now, stop treating me like I'm a 5 year old old going to it's first day of Elementary school *Rips hair*. I know High School is coming! Stop bugging me every damn time about it. . . I can manage all of this on my own.

Also, that's just the connection with the true grinding of my gears, the true annoyance of mine is what all of us call, School.
 
Are you just a skinny lad who never knew no good from bad, but you knew life before you left the nursery?

I. AM. NOT. WORTHY. :bowdown:

You powers are great old man.

(25 now and still a skinny lad! :crazy:)

High school isn't bad. I went through that last summer before freshman year, she'll chill if you just do your best. I actually had a pretty good time last year. I ditched my deadbeat friends that didn't ever hang out with me and got a new group and met my girlfriend of 9 months :). Just don't go in there pissed off, have an open mind and you'll be fine 👍.
 
Heh, well, you don't know me, while online I may seem like a rather great person, in real life I'm a loner. Never speak, and when I do so, only few words are said. Kids never prefer to speak to me, and they often love to mess with me too. There's more, but I really don't want to post everything. :lol:

This is one of the reasons of why my main annoyance is school. I appreciate your help, though.
 
How all the stories I right become adult in nature. Not a good thing. Ah, and my mother went through my phone and read EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE. She ended up yelling at me for stuff I was texting about, then my dad came to my defense and told her off, because she was talkingsnooping. He has to sleep on the couch tonight, but he says he doesn't care cause he gets to sleep in front of the air conditioner. My mom is a control freak, everything has to go her way. I can rarely go to friend's houses, but I get to visit my older brother or sister which is cool too. No one ever likes coming to my house cause they know what she is like.

Ugh. . . Don't you just hate privacy invasions from your mom?

@CAMjhr, thanks for your gratitude. :)

Go to that pub every night until you see a fat bottom girl, walk up to her with a Mint Julep in your hand and say with a smooth tone, "Won't you take me home tonight? Down beside your red firelight, and you give it all you got. 'Cause you make the rockin' world go around."

Well said Mike. What grinds my gears? Girls. You can be nice to them, cheer them up, make them feel great about themselves. Then they say 'Thank You!', ignore you and date an ignorant :censored:hole then when they're dumped they want to talk to you. Why should I? All that stuff I did obviously means nothing to you. Then they get mad at you. You treat them respectfully, help them out, show that you care. Then they basically say 🤬 off. Its stupid. I'm ready to just tell every girl to 🤬 off cause they're all the same. My life is so stupid, I figure I'll grow up and become wealthy. Then I'll meet someone I like then die one minute later.

Hahaha oh so much to learn yet... You know I met the girl I'm soon to marry because of that very scenario. (By the way I listened, try swallowing some pride).


What grinds my gears?

-Well I'll agree with the useless status posts on Facebook, I also hate email notifications every time somebody comments on a picture I'm tagged in...

-Younger people taking relationships WAY to seriously for their age

-That far to loud woman at the bar that clearly figures her conversation is more important than anybody elses

-Bluetooth headsets...who the hell are you talking to! We can't always see that blue light in your ear

-Drivers that blame you for them almost hitting you

My PC monitor is now covered in Coke spat from my mouth in a gigantic roar of laughter. :D

Unfortunately that pub is now on the other side of the world to where I reside, but next time I'm back in London that is on my list of things to-do.

......back on topic, my iPhone is grinding my gears. It doesn't show that it's charging when it is, on top of that the power bar is stuck on 1% even after a full charge and the for several days after that while still staying on and working fine, apart from the fact it's stuck in headphones mode which means all of my calls must be held on loud speaker for my whole office to hear is really grinding my gears. I've been on-line and searched for a solution but nothing is fixing it. :grumpy:
 
You should meet my ex wife. She's show you how!Nearly got stabbed by tweezers for farting in bed once! :)

:lol: I would be dead if I was in that situation, I fart heaps when trying to sleep :P
 
:lol: I fart heaps when trying to sleep :P

Well, the delicious stuff my current wife cooks me for lunch could power half this city by the time it comes out of my exhaust pipe!
She doesn't mind if I fart in bed as long as I air it out with a wave of the covers. :lol:
 
What grinds my gears is Facebook. Sure, there's groups and stuff, but it's not "social" at all. For example, how is posting a picture and thousands of people commenting on it social, How is staring at a computer website all day social? Also why do people join when thousands of accounts are hacked in a day?
*sigh* I'm losing friends because of it, ugh.
Another thing is twitter! Who cares if your going to the bathroom or going to the store, are you that desperate for attention?!

I agree with the Twitter bit, but for the Facebook one, you're gonna hate me for that. :P

That is definitely one thing we agree on :)

:lol: I farted when laughing, just then, I fart when the class is silent, and then watch the people scream in anger at the smell.

What grinds my gears is people who don't appreciate people who release gas in public, farting's perfectly fine, it's natural :P

You aren't alone. My friend has those problems with his mom and his mom is pretty much the control type. If she was not so controlling about her old PC she could of backed up the data before lightning fried their PC which had a lot of bank details and passwords.

My mom is the controlling type but no so in such a serous case just a bit annoying.

In certain ways your the same as me.. Except I'm not a great person online. However in real life, aside from also being a loner. I get bullied for being quiet and have had to go to 6 schools in the past 6 years. I haven't ever had a friend in real life, true fact, other kids suck.
 
About this time last year my dad promised me and my brother that we would go to the emirates cup (a football tournament) this weekend coming up. Every time we have seen him since he made that promise if he has been asked if we are still going, he would say yes. So, this weekend he said we aren't going to be able to go because he has to pay this fine.
This really 🤬 me off.
He does things like this all of the time (not an exaggeration), especially with Arsenal football games we are meant to be going to watch.
Just makes me so angry
 
What annoys me is when people are offended but don't tell you because apart from a few people who I hate I try and be nice to everyone i meet, and you know those times you say something without realising that it might be offensive.

I hate people that dont know that youre supposed to come to a complete stop at an intersection where the traffic lights are broken or without power. Getting into my complex was a bitch and I almost saw some people get killed.
 
People who think I'm trying to annoy them, although I'm explaining things to them. Every time I try to teach my younger brother a valuable lesson in life, and that he should take a break from video games for awhile, and actually be active (Walk around the house, talk to REAL people, etc.), my sister, mom, or dad always thinks I'm annoying my brother purposely, as he's yelling at me. It annoys me to the limit when they come in, yell at me, and tell me to get out. Then my brother also agrees. I just want people to understand my wisdom without thinking I'm annoying. Heck, my brother actually thinks I'm annoying during things like that just because of my toneless expression, and, "Complex", words. Oh how I wish people would take me seriously, instead of ungratefully.
 
People who don't know how to use roundabouts (thats about 95 percent of Nelson) and then proceed to cut you off.

Yeah, you can say things like that anymore :P

Don't forget, 1 in every 3 drivers in NZ are going to be 🤬 at driving, even if you find there are more bad drivers, there's not you're just noticing the bad :P It's the truth

You'd make a better big brother than my big brother :indiff:

DAMMIT, sorry for double post, I just randomly noticed I posted twice in the same place in two minutes. Just this post caught my eye and made me forget my other post :mad: That's what grinds my gears, my bad memory, because it causes this to happen.
