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

[Teddy Ursa]

I fucking hate when older people expect every server at a restaurant to play the overly happy-to-serve you act or else no tip. It's such an entitled, bratty belief. As long as you bring me my food and aren't a complete cunt, that's all I care about.

Especially since the longer they get, the easier they are to keep clean.

 

[AnOminous]

People who approach someone smoking a cigarette in public in a place where it's legal to do that and start fake-coughing and other bullshit just to harass them.

I probably put off quitting for a few years out of fear of turning into that particular kind of gargantuan asshole.

ETA: another thing that just completely blows and why do I ever do this? Bonded leather anything. This is a worthless vile excuse for leather made out of garbage bonded together with probably carcinogenic chemicals, shipped out of ching chong land, and then it starts completely falling apart in about a year even under ordinary use.

Great. Once this crap starts falling apart I need to buy something else to sit on. This fucking industrial waste level "leather" starts falling apart and is nearly garbage within a few weeks of showing its tendency to dissolve into nothingness.

Careless postal workers. I ordered a CD off Bandcamp that shipped from Iowa, and it just got here. Open the packaging and the case is in pieces-shattered, utterly destroyed. The booklet, inlay photo and the CD itself are intact, but I'm fucking fuming. Why, exactly, are these cunts paid so much?

Car prices. I'm not prepared to pay $750 a month payment for a used vehicle with 70k+ miles.

 

[Tingle]

People using some stupid phrase that nobody uses then instead of explaining it a different way just repeating it like three times.

 

[AnOminous]

Bonded leather. This stuff is such goddamn garbage. I knew when I bought this cheap ass Chinesium chair that it was bonded leather, thought oh yeah, this stuff just falls apart within a year after even light use. Then thought well it's cheap. And now at almost nearly the year date it's doing just that.

I will insist on fine Corinthian leather next time. Fuck bonded leather.

Car prices. I'm not prepared to pay $750 a month payment for a used vehicle with 70k+ miles.

That "Cash for Clunkers" bullshit more or less nuked the used car market from orbit.

I mentioned this on anonymous thread on stupid shit YouTube recommends you but,



I'm listening to rob zombie's song dragula and yet because some drag queen show on. Hulu uses the same name YouTube won't stop shoving it in my face to get me to watch it.

YouTube I'm listening to Rob "a million f bombs a minute " zombie. Do you think I'd be interested in following that up with a bunch of ugly men in dresses rip off rupauls drag race?

 

[Kuchipatchi]

Old friends you haven’t seen in ages reaching out to you, you’re happy to hear from them and make plans to get together for lunch or something and catch up and it turns out they’re in some MLM cult just trying to sell you something

Fuck off to the blackest pits of hell, you parasite

I've never even heard of this happening to anyone I know, let alone to myself. I've always seen what I assume are Americans, is it an American problem?

Rap and hiphop in bars. Turn that nigger shit off.

At my place of work, the guys like to put on rap songs and the amount of times that "bitch", "pussy" and "nigga" is mentioned is absolutely staggering, I'm surprised it's permitted.

Edit to avoid spamming the thread:
I hate modern technology. My phone screen cracked a month ago and I can't stop thinking I have a hair on my phone. My Switch controllers have drifting issues AGAIN and my 3DS' replacement battery is swelling again! I didn't even leave it on charge to too long after replacing the battery! WTF?!

My GameCube controller has been dropped 1,000 times and still works like I got it yesterday and my Famicom (nearly 40 years old) still works too albeit I have to try inserting the cartridges a few times to get them to work.

I mean, I'm not gonna approach someone who's smoking in public, especially in a smoking area, but if I have to walk past/through smokers, I'm gonna be coughing. I'm allergic to tobacco/cigarette smoke. I remember when I was in undergrad, all of the smokers insisted on smoking in front of the entrances to the buildings (where smoking wasn't allowed). It sucked because I legit couldn't avoid it, and it sent me into a coughing fit, which I got a dirty look for.

I don't know where I'm going with this, it's 4:30 am and I'm tired, but I feel bad whenever people say this because not everybody who coughs or sneezes it is doing it to be a dick.

I'll take the rain. We're in a pretty bad drought which is pissing me off. Hardly any thunderstorms this spring and I love thunderstorms!

Move to western PA. We get more rain than the Pacific NW.

Like all drug addicts, smokers have a distorted image of reality.

On-topic: my relatives only starting to "really need to get to the shitter ASAP" after I get there.
This led to an amazing thing once where both got home, never ended going to toilet in 6+ hours, then I got in and discovered the tube had burst.

That's actually not their fault, though, because there actually is a drag show called Dragula, probably named after the same car in the Munsters that the Rob Zombie song was named after, assuming it wasn't actually named directly after the Rob Zombie song.

Holy shit, while fact-checking my own post I found out Rob Zombie is actually making a movie of the Munsters this year starring some of the usual suspects but also Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy.

I mean when they have an entire goddamn empty city block where they could be but they sit down right next to you and start making a big dramatic display. It's virtually prohibited to smoke anywhere these days, but these fuckers will find the one place where it's allowed and sperg up a storm. And there's always one of these fuckers. Go to the 99% of places where a smoker isn't even allowed to be seen.

Youtube does this to me, watch cat/kitten videos and keeps recommending me shitbull ones.

You also get snow. I've never driven in snow in my life. I've driven on ice, only when I had to, and months of winter weather is a hard no. I'll take the risk of tornadoes and summer droughts over snow. (I'm an anxiety filled wuss)

Smoker here. I work in the city, so it's office buildings out onto the busy streets, with no secluded area around.

I'm polite enough to stand out toward the road, always blow my smoke away from people. One time however, this middle aged soy faggot deliberately went out of his way to invade my space, walk right into the path of smoke I'd just exhaled, then passive aggressively said some shit as he went by.

Exactly as you describe it. Like nigga, I'm doing everything I can to keep this away from you, yet here you are. These fucks certainly exist.

I bought a dualshock 4 controller only 6 months ago and it's now completely useless due to stick drift. I haven't even played that many games with it either. Meanwhile my original PS1 controller and PS2 controller still work just fine even after more than 20 years.

Chiming in on the anti-smoking soyfags also.

They really do deliberately go out of their way to invade your space and be as obnoxious as possible. Back when I worked in the receiving room/warehouse of a furniture/home decor store there was an exit that led out back to where the pallets were stored and the trucks parked when making their deliveries. That’s where the smokers would go on break. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be back there unless they’re employees. Another guy and I were out having a cigarette one break and this little bitch boy looking dork comes waddling through, walks as close to us as he could and starts in with the exaggerated fake coughing.

What is their damage?

Aren't these the same people who invented the term "fat shaming"? Shouldn't they be scolding parents with fat children for consistency's sake at least?
