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

More livestock.

So I'm coming home from the bus station and I all these big ass birds that I thought were statues. And I'm wondering why the fuck anyone would have that many bird statues in their yard. They're real live waterfowl sleeping in the sun. A few were sleeping head to head in pairs. I assume those were couples.

At first I thought they were geese and they may very well be. But based on another juvenile bird I saw in that yard last week that I initially thought was some kind of duck they might be Coscoroba swans. They are invasive to Florida due to escaping. But I'm in Pennsylvania.

This area is very urban. It's not the place to keep livestock. It's not unheard of to see ducks. But it's a really uncommon pet around here. There's the idiot with the rooster that crows at night. I haven't heard him lately though. There's been a ton of raccoon fights so maybe he's laying low.

I don't know exactly what these birds are. Maybe they are Easter geese? Or you can make money selling fancy swans or something.

When I was a kid there was this guy everyone called Crazy John. He had all these huge birds in his yard. I'm assuming they were geese. They were pets not food. I don't think he had many friends other than his wacky birds.

I get used to how shitty the audio on my PC is, played out through the LGTV I use as a monitor.

I listen to lots of lo-fi type shit and stuff I've listened to so much I don't even really need the audio except as a guide to my memory.

Then I try to listen to The Nightfly and realize how utterly bad it is.

I had a nightmare that my car broke down, and I got stressed out. I woke up realizing I was panicking over nothing, and my car is fine in real life.

Old people who go full retard in stores. Still thinking William Howard Taft is in office and shitting themselves and everything. Somebody can spill something and the old people will suddenly start duck waddling straight towards the moisture like they want to break their hip.

I know it's petty, but I hate people who say...
"I've got this."
"You've got this."
...or ANY variation thereof. The Rock (DWAYNE Johnson) is largely to blame for this. Before he started obsessively using it, you almost never heard it. Now the phrase is in nearly every movie or tv show. It's a fucking mind virus.

I also hate how male nudity (nipples) is totally acceptable in public and even in G rated movies meant for kids. If I can't see titties (nipples included), then I want male nudity totally banned. Why should fags and Thots get to have more fun than I do. Fuck that.

The MCU-ification of every film in existence nowadays. Most everything feels so passionless even though it's got a mega million-dollar budget.

CGI was cool and revolutionary back when it first came out (even the graphics of Terminator 2 still hold up today. That film was truly a milestone for computer graphics) but now it's cheap, lazy and somehow looks even worse than CG 40 years ago. Like, why the fuck are CGI blood splatters a thing? What's the harm in keeping smaller effects practical? Surely a fake blood spurt and bullet wound don't cost too much more...

That fucking Euphoria show. I can't stand it. Tried to give it a watch but can't understand who the target audience is. If it's a show for teens, why is there such graphic gratuitous content about molestation and teenagers working as sex workers? If it's for an adult... what kinda weirdo wants to watch a show about teens getting molested and their high school drama? It's no wonder Drake produces it.

Parents that dress their toddlers like trendy college students instead of letting kids be kids and dressing them up in goofy kid outfits. Something rubs me the wrong way about that.

A single troon is worth something like a millionth of a woman. Meaning you could literally run over a troon just for fun and it would be like a millionth of an actual human. So it wouldn't even be a microaggression, it would be a micro-murder.

My bank doing maintenance at the end of the month and this apparently meaning during that period my debit card is considered inactive. Would have been nice having some kind of notice informing us before going to get gas and having my card declined, but I guess doing that would have been way too much work.

The fact that bottles of liquor do not magically replenish.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

That, because somebitch decided to pocket a bit of money, I had to witness a 74-year-old hauling heavy wooden panels, as nobody sent a, whatchacallit, porter? With him.
And so I, a quite unathletic woman, had to get there and help him get it all here.

People who take fifteen minutes at the register because their purse has gallifreyan “bigger on the inside” tevhnology

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

It only goes downhill once you notice some characters get way more porn than they should like Raven from Teen Titans or Gwen from Ben 10.

Its gotten to the point some characters are only know for porn like Jenny from Teenage Robot.

People who draw bara porn of preteen/teenage boys

I binge-watched a few documentaries on Japa earlier, all centred around low birth rates, women not getting married and instead having 'fur babies,' hikikomori and other related shit.

The ENTIRE time they either seemed desperate to avoid the obvious elephant in the room, or were too fucking retarded to even have a glimmer of understanding about why things are going this way. This extended to 99% of the comments, with the people commenting on the actual issues at hand close, but not quite there.

But let's all keep feeding the dragon, keep buying plastic shit, and pretend like it doesn't exist.

I'm tired of people treating their self-proclaimed cultural or social identity as if it's an achievement. It doesn't matter what walk of life the person is from. For just an expedient example, I consider it cringey if someone makes a big deal about how Christian or atheist they are. Good for you. Maybe it's important to you, but ultimately this won't reflect in your everyday life. You're still a relatively normal person living their life. And that's fine too! You don't need to be special because you identify with so-and-so groups or identities. Just be you and hopefully be the best you that you can be! And if your identity matters so much, then make sure it counts and it's not shameless virtue signalling or self-aggrandizement.

And I think I've brought this up before, but I've been encountering people off and online who are insecure enough to make a big deal about this sort of shit.

 

[I am vomit]

Everything, everything pisses me off. I'm eternally pissed off. I cannot stop being pissed off and I don't even know why.

 

[CaseyTatumm]

people who call their man they sleep with for the week "Hubby"

Those are the same people whose kids have to refer to the MOTW as “daddy”. Hate those people.

when the cat is on my lap and starts walking on my dick

I wonder if that's anything like them walking or jumping down onto our (wammyn's) boobs when we're laying down. Kitty, I love you and I will cuddle you forever, but goddammit that pinpoint pressure on those hurts.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

when the cat is on my lap and starts walking on my dick

It's worse when you see them kneading down there.

 

[The Curmudgeon]

I hate it when people think invoking the Better Business Bureau is the end-all, be-all to their petty customer service issues. The BBB can't do shit. They have no authority to do anything. It's a meaningless, pointless threat. It's a non-solution to First World problems. Anyone who does this is a drooling retard.
