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

Similarly it's impossible to convince some people that orange juice is just as calorie dense per fluid ounce as Coca Cola. Even if you hold the labels right up to their faces it just doesn't register because "fruit is healthy." I decided long ago that the #1 contributor to widespread obesity is that people don't know shit about fuck.

I had a retard argue with me when I said cheese on broccoli doesn’t actually make the broccoli unhealthy. Because your body still gets the nutrients from the broccoli through digestion (and the nutrients from the dairy, for that matter). I wasn't trying to say cheesy broccoli is a health food, but it's not actually unhealthy. (Done in moderation, obviously, which I did say during this autistic slap fight I was in)

That pissed me off pretty bad, especially when he said coffee is probably the worst thing you can drink. My friend later told me he loves coffee, so that pissed me off more.

His wife is a deathfat too, I'm sure you're surprised.

Piggybacking off of the few posts above, but people who not only don't know shit, but have the added enraging quality of being aggressive about it. I have a family member, a True & Honest Idiot, like this who I swear would argue with you that 2+2=7 and that you're a "know it all" for saying that the conclusion is dumb. The type of person for whom the NPC meme was practically created for some days. It's not being wrong though that's egregious, it's that if you point this out or dare to get frustrated it has to turn into this thing where the idiot does the Ethan Ralph thing of getting all aggro about it.

I have a feeling that one's stuck in my mind now.

thread tax: I hate how when I'm deep-frying something, the temperature is somehow never quite right for the first piece of food, even if I already tested the oil with a bit of dough/batter. It either comes out burnt outside and raw inside, or soaked-through with oil. I adjust things after the first piece and it goes fine after that, but still, I hate wasting that first piece more times than not.

Basketball is the most annoying sport. It’s monotonous to watch and monotonous to play. I was taller than average growing up and the first thing out of everyone’s mouth when they would meet me for the first time was “do you play basketball?” I don’t have air conditioning so in the summer I have to leave my window open and all I hear all night is the irregular sound of a basketball smacking against the pavement and it drives me insane.

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.

there’s a road i always drive down where all the old people want to go half the fucking speed limit. i will ride their ass for over a mile and honk at them and they still take their sweet ass time. same with walking, if you’re going to walk .2mph don’t do it in the middle of the fucking walkway i will
be breathing down your neck behind you if you don’t hurry your slow ass up

Many of the military renaming academies and removing confederate memorabilia over time. Jesus Christ, southerners helped your military time and time again, we at least deserve to get some recognition.

In my region, a venue that hosts various events was renamed because the person it was originally named after was deemed too problematic by current year woke standards. Instead, it was named after a bank that bought sponsorship rights only to be renamed again when that bank was bought out by another bank.

Since then, some people have come to realize that renaming a building after an impersonal corporate entity may not have been an improvement over the former name. Also, some people can't remember the new name since it changed twice in a short period of time so they refer to the building by its old name out of familiarity and habit.

Thread tax: People who think the US Supreme Court should never overrule itself in light of the recent leak. If what I recall from my government class is accurate, SCOTUS originally upheld laws regarding segregation and slavery before later overruling itself and declaring those laws unconstitutional.

Tying into both @Shidoen 's post any my reply: people who think history, especially the negative parts of it, should be ignored, reinterpreted, or outright memory holed.

Times change anyway and laws can be deemed necessary or unnecessary. I just don't like that people try to make me among other people feel bad because our people felt the need to rebel. Justified or not we should still be proud they made the stand that many would not be willing to take today.

When you're talking to someone and have forgotten a detail (often something that's barely if important at all to you,) then remember it awhile (sometimes even less than a minute) later and have them look at you like you're trying to lie or cover non-existent tracks or something. To be clear, I mean specifically in situations where you're not under (or at least shouldn't be) scrutiny as if you're a witness in a murder trial.

An example would be like if you were asked if you went to some who-gives-a-shit-tier place or have heard of some person, you say no, and then all of a sudden you realize you've been to a place once 3 years ago or you've heard/met said person and say so. Then you're given this look as if you should just remember it as if you were just asked about if you'd ever had drinks with Jack Nicholson or had been to the Eiffel Tower or something you'd definitely remember immediately.

In particular this applies to that dipshit family member I mentioned earlier on the page. Every time I'm met with this arguably vacant stare I just want to gouge my own eyes out. No, you've not caught me in a lie, I literally just thought about some inane thing for the first time in a decade.

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.

coworker and I were talking about D&D. I brought up that episode of Community where they play D&D with the fat kid and coworker immediately goes into virtue signaling mode about how much he hates that episode because Chang was in blackface (he was LARPing as a Drow, an elf with jet black skin)

Seriously dude? You’re one of those idiots? I’ve been playing tabletop games since I was 10. Never once did I or any of my friends look at a picture of an orc or drow and think “THAT’S A BLACK GUY ALRIGHT!” If your mind immediately goes to “black guy” by seeing a pig man or demon elf, maybe that says more about your racism than anyone else…but I don’t expect you to have that level of self awareness. Shame, I actually liked talking with you before you revealed yourself as a woketard
