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

I don't know much about real estate, but I don't like the sound of "house flipping" - buying a home and selling it for far more. Or corporations buying houses and then renting them out. It seems to be why there's a housing crisis in at least America now. I think it's better if houses are sold to those who are going to live there.

I hate it when people refer to Frankenstein's monster as "Frankenstein." Frankenstein was the guy who made the monster, you fucking retards!

That used to make my autism sizzle too, until I told myself, well, Doctor Frankenstein is basically the monsters dad, so...

Which is massively autistic itself, but it helps. It eases my depression a little. Did I tell you I suffer from depression?

Sci-Fi that isn't. I've been looking for new Sci Fi to watch. So I see "Time Travelers Wife", "Sci-Fi" and "Romance" well, ok, maybe... it's neither of those. "Night Sky" yea, also no Sci-Fi.

At least a few new seasons are arriving soon from actual Sci Fi shows.

Sci-Fi hasn’t been actual Science Fiction in thirty years. It’s all just fantasy in space.

I mean Frankenstein is supposed to be the monster the entire time.

I feel the same way when people make shit/fart jokes when you’re about ready to eat. “Dood that chocolate ice cream looks like someone just shitted in your cone! Hahaha” fuckin’ ‘tards acts like they’re five and kill the mood.

Brits getting worked up about Americans accents and spelling. Back when the Brits were coming here to form the colonies they had the same accent America does now. Over the years the English accent and spelling drifted away from what they used to be to become what it is now. American accents and spellings really didn’t, beyond the development of regional accents we have here of course.

You can see this in Canada too, their accent isn't that different from ours, probably for the same reason.
Click to expand...
The Britbongs invented a fake accent that their upper classes conditioned themselves to speak in just for the sake of sounding different from the Americans who told them to fuck off. That's why Americans and Canadians sound the way we do while Aussies and the other kind of kiwis sound Bri'ish. The natural English language accent (but now just burgers and leaves) has been mocked for hundreds of years for not even really being an accent because of how flatly and straight-forward it annunciates speech (depending on region) when compared to every other language pretty much ever.

It's also why their accent is so incredibly god-awful by default and they spend copious amounts of money on sending their kids to private schools where they're trained to speak in the "oxford accent", which was what the Britbongs were initially going for. The next time you hear a Britkid speak on TV, in a movie or whatever, notice how slow, halting and unnatural their speech pattern is. It's because they still have to force themselves very deliberately to speak in that accent until it becomes second nature. Britkids and even the adults are borderline unintelligible when they speak without having been trained as tots to sound a certain way. That's what happens when you create a fake accent that the populace (initially just the richer ones; my, how times don't change) needs to be trained and need to force themselves to annunciate. I really don't know how they expected that to go any other way.

Similarly to how daylight savings time came to exist, I thought this was too stupid to be true when I first heard about it. I've since learned better than to have that much faith in the human race.

This is a major part of why it pisses me off that 99% of medieval and high fantasy media with audio coming out of the west inaccurately, pretentiously and ignorantly portrays the characters as having Bri'ish accents. The accent didn't exist yet, especially when applied to a fantasy setting, since no America to get butthurt about. Worse than that, they're acting like all of medieval Europe was nothing but Bongland, despite the prominence of places like France, Italy and the Germanic kingdoms.

Tards that pull out in front of you, almost causing a wreck, and then drive 5 miles below the speed limit. Bonus points for if there was literally no cars behind you for a half a mile.

Related, tards who turn right on red and get in my lane just as my light turns green. These tards almost never accelerate to the speed limit quickly or even in a very timely fashion. Assuming they get up to the speed limit at all! A lot of them go a few miles under.

Or the tards who ride my bumper on a two lane city road, no matter how much over the speed limit I'm going. Like, I'm not going to get a fucking ticket just so you can get to your destination fifteen seconds earlier. Someone I know taught defensive driving and one of his handouts was talking about the time you save by speeding. I can't remember how far the example was, but I remember it said if you drive this distance to work going 70 the whole time instead of 55 (the freeway speed limit at the time) you will save a whopping two minutes. The distance was quite a distance too, like 25-30 miles. If I said this on reddit I'd be down voted into oblivion and lectured on how I'm not the boss of other drivers and I don't know if it's an ~emergency~ where someone could die if I don't let the people behind me drive twenty over. Sorry, to also quote reddit: I'm not going to set myself on fire to keep you warm.

Reddit pisses me off too. Fucking reddit.

The fucking she-boons keep loading the compactor full and then walk away without running it. We all took the course to run it. We all know how it works. We have been told, in meetings, multiple times, that if we load it we need to run it so the person behind us can just toss in their shit without worrying about it overflowing. And without fail, the fucking she-niggers refuse to run it. The black men have zero problems grasping this simple concept, so there's no excuse aside from laziness.

I'm still pissed a place I pass by every so often has a grandiose mural of his dopey face - we are over a thousand miles away from this fucking fentanyl addict, why? My nextdoor neighbor's shitty stepson might as well have a mural too. At best it just makes me laugh, all these romantic and dynamic brush strokes and artful, jazzy color combinations and you still can't hide this dude's utter lack of personal vibrancy.

Then it stops being funny when you'd even QUESTION it. Of all the Black people to idolize, why HIM? Even Rodney King didn't get such glory and his beating was worse.

Normie friend wanted to show me something about the shooting in Texas and, being normie, defaulted to CNN as the source. Halfway down the page I find something designed to piss me off in particular.

They say jet in the title. They double down in the captions. And then they show one of the most iconic PROPELLER-DRIVEN aircraft of all time. These are the people that want to fact check and be able to edit your shitposts.

How the FUCK are journalists this fucking stupid

The bastardization of the term "basic bitch" to mean poor people or people with cheap clothes or accessories.
It originally referred to clueless but cashed-up consoomers. Gucci, Chloe, LV, Armarni, Chanel, Moet, Van C&A, Harrods, Creed etc. Anything consumerist and priced as luxe. It was a great anti- consumerism "silence brand" phrase. Yeah, "consoomer" works but we need a specific term for the dunning-kruger suckers who think handing their money over for a 'luxury' brand status bauble buys them kudos.
TLDR: an anti-consumerism idea turned into a phrase to bash poor people.
