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

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?

Should've burned your cigarette on on the fucking dork. and laughed as he cried on the floor in a puddle of his own piss from the sheer pain of the cigarette fire

Me poorly speaking some European languages because I know the most basic bitch words, especially to other people who think I'm a "Russian spy". Yeah no shit I asked for bread from this old ass lady, stop trying to cause shit with your covid mask purple haired lady.

When kids treat small animals like this:


For context hamsters (and other small rodents) are quite fragile so holding them like they're ragdolls is not okay. It really annoys me that people think kids should have small animals like this. I'm amazed the poor thing didn't bite one of those kids.

I'd love to do an MRI scan of a small child's abused pocket pet. Seeing what PTSD makes their brain look like would be interesting. Depressing, but interesting.

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.

IMO, unless you're Audrey Hepburn or Bette Davis, nobody should be smoking.

I can't get it to switch between inputs, otherwise I'd use my phone through the Bluetooth. Oh, I see what you mean. Use my phone through a standalone speaker. That's not a bad idea. I really only drive around in town a couple times a week.

It's also a navigation system and backup camera display. Fuck new cars. But, it's also the first thing I've needed to replace other than brake pads on a ten year old car. Compared to my old car that was in the shop every other month for $600 at a time I'm surprisingly okay with one $900 repair..

I know I’m a bit late to this, but if the radio can still pick up regular FM stations, you may want to try one to the FM transmitters for cars. They plug into the cigarette lighter port and can be plugged into a phone or mp3 player. Set the transmitter and radio to the same station and BAM! Custom station

It’s how I modernized my 80s cars and trucks. Only downside is that in the cities, powerful stations will overpower them, so stick to the 88-90 and 106-107 parts of the FM band

That might work. Would be easier than juggling a Bluetooth speaker. I'll look into that. Thanks!
 
Old people. Stopped by the grocery store this afternoon and I swear to Christ, it took twice as long as it should have because old people have made "being in the goddamned way" a fucking lifestyle.

Trip there? Stuck with ten more cars behind me all doing five under the limit because of some octagenarian in a CR-V.

Trying to shop? Perpetually finding every goddamned aisle blocked by a cart left perpendicular to the shelves while some elderly lady or gent tries to figure out what brand of flour (or what the fuck ever it is) to buy.

Checking out? Old people still paying with checks in goddamned 2022 being helped by old people that are clearly in over their head operating a modern point of sale system. At least I can help expedite that process by scanning Google Pay when they start and bagging everything myself as they scan it.

After that, I get to drive back.

...stuck behind a motherfucking Buick doing five under.

I wonder when it's my turn to start doing this kind of bullshit. Like, is there a form to fill out and a tax break? I'm ready for it, but it seems my mind is still clouded with agreeableness and fear of annoying people.

Unfortunately in my area the youth are tag-teaming with the olds to be just as annoying. The light is green, but they gotta smash that like button a few more times I guess. In the grocery store it's all the kids doing the personal shopper thing staring at their phones, leaving the cart in the way, or having no respect for my personal space because I'm an NPC as far as they are concerned, might as well take the Amy's can of soup right out of my hand.

I used to give a solid count to five at a green light before I tapped the horn to get people to move. Now, you get a three-count and I'm leaning on that bitch until you get off your ass. Every goddamned time, it's someone dicking around on their phone and half the time, they have the gall to honk back.

That said, you're not wrong. It's eerie how screen obsession so directly mimics the outward effects of early stage dementia.

And literally over a dozen languages printed on government papers, especially papers concerning welfare and voting. The fact that swathes of people who don't even speak my country's language get a say in who runs it pisses me off beyond measure.

I hate to break it to you, but there's no legally official language in the US.

Gee, it sure sucks that my country translates informational pamphlets into different languages so everyone can understand them.
