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

Adding on to this.

My brother’s girlfriend is the biggest womanchild I have ever met. They have twin daughters around the age of 5 who love Pokémon. I was over visiting awhile back and this twat comes home with a bunch of booster packs of Pokémon cards. Naturally my nieces want to see also. A normal person would happily allow them to watch, probably even give them each a booster pack to keep or at least open so they feel included. Not this bitch. They come over and she immediately yells at them to “go away! These are mine!” They looked so sad, just wanted to have their mom include them.

This hot fucking weather can eat a dick. No clothes left to take off and my weight is normal. I shouldn't experience hell before actually getting there.

Been spending something like a half-hour mowing the lawn, weed whacking, weeding the garden, watering the garden (and myself), other yard shit, and a half-hour off in the AC hydrating to replace the sweat that is pouring off me in barrels by the time I take a break to get back off the brink of heatstroke.

I used to be able to work outside from dawn to dusk if I felt like it in 100+ temperature and barely even notice it, so long as I had a bucket of Gatorade (diluted with an equal amount of water or just mixed with half the powder) nearby. Getting old sucks.

For me it was long walks outside, ofter carrying heavy backpacks. Sports. But last few years I feel like I'm hibernating during summer. And I never imagined I'd need to chose mineral water over tap.

I guess at least I'm not the only one. Though it sounds like you still get a lot of physical work done.

I won't go into too much health sperging, but high heat reduces the effectiveness of certain enzymes in your body that break down toxic compounds, in fact high body heat is believed nowadays to be one of the major factors that promote brain damage in long term amphetamine abusers, so excessive body heat does have a directly traceable physical mechanism through which it screws with you and it would make sense that as a person got older their ability to tolerate work under high heat would diminish.

That especially goes for people who are neurotic, don't sleep well, etc.

A lot of young people are pretty developmentally stunted these days, but I feel millennial women have been enabled in it so much more. So long as they meet the basic requirement of going to college and having a job, people tolerate them otherwise refusing to mature in any way.

When I want to buy something online and I have to first verify it through my phone.

Cool, I get my phone, I'm ready to transact, let's do this shit!

But wait, there's no message. Okay, whatever, I'll give it five minutes.

Still nothing, so I cancel the transaction, because FUCK having to JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GIVE YOU MY GODDAMN MONEY, fuck you, just FUCK you, idiot.

....
The next day I get up and I get a message saying "we see you want to buy x thing from us, please enter this OTP".

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like Italian dishes, but they fulfill the stereotype of Italians: hillariously corrupt and incompetent.

G. Gordon Liddy once roasted and ate a rat to overcome his fear of them. (Good thing he didn't have a fear of children.)

Do you have two factor authentication for your credit card or something?
 
I got a phone call from someone today because they were upset I never look at their instagram stories. I've told them a million times I don't use social media and I pretty much only have instagram to follow muscle chicks, and I don't even do that much these days. And yet it still bothers them enough to fucking call me in the middle of the day and question me about it.

So that pissed me off today.

People that try to victimize themselves over shit like their own interests as if they're genetically predisposed to it. I might've rambled about this before but I'm too lazy to check and I keep running into fuckers like this lately. Just fucking anything people try turning into their entire personality is annoying but this is something else. I'm a guy that's loved shit like video games, cool robots, skeletons, and monkeys ever since i was a shitbrain child, but if I was one of THOSE assholes I'd probably be like "THESE ARE MY HYPERFIXATIONS!!!" or some dumb shit. Like motherfucker if you got interests just vibe with em don't act like you're some kinda genetic defect level mindscape prisoner to the things you like.

People who cope with bad games at launch by saying it will get better after launch. Especially when they bring No Man's Sky up as an example of a game "redeeming" itself. I'm still a firm believer that games should be as bug free and functional as possible at launch. No exceptions, no excues. And unless you have the balls to just remake your game like SE did with FFXIV, your patches aren't going to fix core game issues. Stop giving devs yet more excuses to be lazy. Hold them to account and tell them that games should fucking work at launch.

Speaking of SE there's an inverse case of this shit with their avengers game. The free beta multiplayer demo was servicable but needed a bit more, and then the game came out and it was somehow shittier to the point people that liked the demo didn't even buy the thing. Patches never even tried fixing the bullshit and actively made shit even MORE of a grind to unlock things in response to low player count. Pants on head dick up your own ass levels of stupid.

People that follow shit like PhilosophyTube that act all enlightened and holier-than-thou just because they agree with sophistry spouted by men in dresses.

On a related note, people that refuse to argue with you in good faith and will continue to try getting your attention after you told them to fuck off. People generally have better things to do than read giant text walls from nerds that openly admit they're sexually attracted to JRPG monsters.
