You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

I'm on a three month waiting list to get a plumber to put in a propane line to the kitchen.

I'm not fucking DIYing propane, so I have to just eat what is, in fact, the best deal I could find.

EDIT: Cumbreath father-fucking rednecks in their useless white nigger lifted trucks trying to intimidate me because I drive an economy car when I'm not in a semi.

Little car doesn't mean little man, nor the other way around, you dickless, lizard-brained faggots. Go listen to Toby Keith and jerk off into your own mouth some more, and then choke to death on that Salt Life sticker.

When one has an appointment for someone coming over like a plumber or other home maintenance issue, but they leave one such a huge window. That BS is annoying. Like they'll be there from "sometime between noon and 3" or "sometime between 9 AM and 5 PM". That means one can't do anything one doesn't want interrupted, and of course leaving home then is a bad idea. It's like an endless "reverse fire drill".

Not to mention one may have to have a phone on hand at all times during the wait for any calls.

Wasn't it more common to schedule a more exact time in the days before Current Year? If so, it's ironic that more connectivity has led to even less of an ability to schedule anything.

They way you type irritates me, I hope you don’t speak like that.
Fuck whomever decided to schedule the industrial vacuum for the apartment across the hall at 8:30 in the fucking evening. Even if I had work at 9:00 am instead of 6:00 am, this would be completely unacceptable.

I can't stand the rich midlife crisis-ers or teenage dirtbags who have souped up Nu-Muscle cars that BRAAAAP. Same with guys who ride motorcycles, be they Harleys or crotch-rockets.

When my phone company had to replace a bad line outside the house, they gave me a ridiculously large window. It makes me wonder if they honestly expect people to request time off work on short notice, and possibly unpaid, so they can stay home all day waiting for someone who may or may not show up during that time period. I guess unexpected snags come up, but people can't afford to stay home all day doing nothing, either.

An auto repair shop I no longer to once told me they couldn't reproduce the problem I was having only to have it happen to me again when I drove off their lot that day. I immediately drove back to show them what was happening. This time, they finally found and fixed the problem.

My current piss-off is how internet interaction and social media has rendered people unable to appropriately interact with people both on and offline. Civility, respect, and politeness seem to be unknown traits to them. *sigh*

Fair vendors who work for like Dish Network and other big companies. They're fucking obnoxious as shit and shit-talk you.

Dish Network is SHIT compared to cable out where I live. Despite their claims of "No, weather doesn't fuck with it" it goes out when it rains heavy, when it's windy, when there's snow.

Then trying to tell me that Boost Mobile and T-Mobile have excellent service and offer internet with "Let me check the computer and we'll see if we have service where you live!"

Motherfucker, I know your computer is going to claim that you do. And you're trying to get me to believe that T-Mobile offers 200+ Mb internet service in an area where AT&T only offer 1Mb and the cable company can only do 50Mb? Where T-Mobile and Boost Mobile DON'T EVEN GET FUCKING SERVICE?

I stick with my internet plan because I *KNOW* that service is the best in the county. It isn't great, but it's the best I get in farm/cattle country.

Most of all, don't shit talk me when I'm walking away. It's not going to make me turn around and see what great deals you're going to offer me when you shit-talk me and my family because we don't want your shitty service.

DirecTV assholes always bother me in Walmart. They even harassed me in a Best Buy. I know those fuckers have shitty service from experience. I don't want their too expensive and cost increasing TV service. I don't want their failing routers. I don't want their clueless act when I contact them for help. I don't want their screaming when I refuse their sales pitch. Fuck DirecTV.

Maybe it's because of "The New Normal": they think everyone works from home now?

I think back in the days before people had mobile phones 24-7, appointments had to be scheduled for a narrow window. Otherwise not much could be done because they lacked the constant connection of now.

Whenever I show someone a video but all they do is make jokes or comments instead of watching it. If they're not interested, then they should let me know before wasting my time. I'd rather they be honest rather than feigning politeness.

More stray kittens. I was walking back from the store and I see this little face peering out from behind a trash can. It's a kitten. It's about eight or nine weeks old. Very friendly. I think it was female. The kitten came right over. Now it could be a lost kitten or belong to some idiot who lets out their kittens. But there are a good number of very friendly strays around here so I don't know.

I haven't seen it in a few days. There's a massive hawk hanging around here though. I hope nothing happened. I wanted to take the kitten but it would not have gone over well. If I lived by myself I definitely would have. I don't care if it's someone's cat. Unless it accidentally got out then you don't deserve it. I highly suspect it's a stray. It's too young to be from the litter I saw running around a few months ago.

Maybe a nice person grabbed it.

This snippet from Chris Rock annoyed me more than it should:

"I'm gonna put it this way — Do I take Tylenol when I get a headache? Yes," he said, defending the vaccine. "Do I know what's in Tylenol? I don't know what's in Tylenol, Gayle. I just know my headache's gone. Do I know what's in a Big Mac, Gayle? No. I just know it's delicious."

You can literally Google both those questions and find an answer within seconds. We have all this technology readily connected to the Internet. A superhighway containing countless amounts of information, history and everything in between within our fingertips and you'd want to ask a question like THAT?

Humans literally take the Internet for granted. On a similar note, they say everything you put on the Internet is there forever. That's not always true. If somebody wanted to for say a story, they could rub it out as best they can to suppress it for whatever reason.
