Grinding gears.

Cheaters.

One of the more reprehensible types to me is someone who claims to be remorseful but spent the relationship lying about it. To me, it's not the one who doesn't give a shit; it's the one who claims to care, love, and respect their SO while doing this. (And then may or may not try to justify their actions anyway.)
I don't care if you've never done it again. I have no reason to believe you after you spent the relationship since then lying to me and completely disrespecting me.

Perhaps it's not right of me to judge so harshly. Perhaps my personal issues with it get in the way of sound reasoning.

...really, this is less grinding my gears and more smashing my berserk button.
 
Suspiciously happy people, specifically the type of people who act like they are friends with everybody, and then only hang out with the same small group of people.

Polyamorists who think that polyamory solves everything.

SO left the toilet seat up? Polyamory.

SO didn't do the dishes? Polyamory.

SO is being flirty? Polyamory.

SO cheated on you repeatedly? Polyamory.

(The first two are exaggerations... but I've seen plenty of the second two.)

What's this thing you call "communication"?

Especially now that I'm adding "people who can't fucking read descriptions" to the list.




EDIT: Have I already mentioned weeaboos and people who think Japan does everything perfectly like they're gods?
 
People who equate "nerdy" with being smart. It makes me mad. Being smart isn't an attribute only for nerds. If you have knowledge of the real world and can demonstrate it (like working in a science lab, computer coding, etc), then you're smart no matter how nerdy or not nerdy you may be. Watching reruns of Dr. Who on Netflix or playing hours of Skyrim isn't going to make you smarter or clever.

Thank you!!
Those nerds also think "nerd=smart=entitled to hot girlfriend" Its kinda sad that I know men with expectations way to high. I know this one guy that turned down a 6/10 because "I can do better in the looks department" Motherfucker, you be 275 pounds with a receding hairline filled with mad grease, you're lucky you can get 6/10 bitches.
Then my anger stops and hilarity begins.
It happens, no hot bitches. Why? Is it because you actually have no money because you're not actually smart? Is it because you're not that physically attractive?
Of course not, it's because women don't want the nice guys, they only want assholes (woe is you)
Then we go fedora shopping. Another thing that grinds my gears, no ladies fedoras.

How many stupid attention-whoring assholes there are out there with cameras/camera phones and none of them are interesting (except for the rare exception of a Chris Chan). They beg for an audience, but they're just obnoxious and dull.

In the same vein...flash mobs. What the fuck is the point of these cornball cries for attention aside from a plea for people to LOOK AT US! PLEASE? Every time a video of one of these crosses my path on youtube, it just makes my gorge rise and my whole body cringes.

Case in point:

I used to do volantary work in a charity shop and one thing that always annoyed me is when people bought a load of stuff and asked for a discount. Charity shops don't do discounts for obvious reasons and all the things that they were buying were probably much cheaper all together than they would get in a high-end shop anyway. I also hated it when people would talk on their phone when they were purchasing their goods and barely acnkowledge whoever was serving them.

Speaking of which, I hate it when people have really loud arguments on their phone in public. I remember hearing some woman repeating "I don't even want to speak to you right now" over and over again. Just hang up, it's not that hard. :x
 
I sometimes do eBaying in my spare time. I'll buy something from a thrift store and then turn around and sell it on the internet to try to make a little money. Most of the things I sell are old action figures that I find.

That being said, I found an action figure from one of the Transformers movies at a second-hand store a few years ago. It was complete, had all its limbs, electronics worked, even had the instructions. I bought it for $25, brought it home and sat on it for several years. I pulled it out and listed it at $39 with $9 shipping. $15 is a nice profit, but not exceptional. I'm not one of those guys who will list the same item over and over again at $80 simply because they think that it should be $80. I'm already undercutting the other auctions. I'm not greedy, but I do want to make some money on the thing. That's the point.

So when somebody messages me with the statement "$25 total" and nothing else, I can't help but be a bit irate. You want me to waste my time and sell this thing to you at a loss AND violate eBay policies to boot.

No. If I have to, I'll lower the price by a few bucks and relist it. But I'm not going to sell the damned thing at a 50% discount just for you.

A lot of people on my facebook don't bother looking up information before they post a status. The one that really annoys me is when they post about a celebrity dying when they actually didn't. Google isn't that hard to use, but I guess IGNORE ALL GOOGLE RESULTS.

Another thing that annoys me but is something I can't judge too harshly or it can't be helped anyways is when somebody in the employee lunch room brings a really stinky lunch and heats it up making the room smell bad for hours. It's more of a personal thing for me, because I can't stand fishy or meaty smells because they make me feel nauseous.

Also talking online to people who end all of their sentences with obnoxious looking emoticons like :3 or owo.

I really hate it when you're in a meeting or in a class and somebody brings in a huge styrofoam take-out container full of something like Chinese or Italian or Burger King and noisily slurps it down while the instructor is trying to lecture. I find it immensely disrespectful to the class and the teacher. I keep a spare water bottle and a granola bar in my backpack if I have to go somewhere and I'm worried about getting hungry. Is it really that hard to wait until class is over to eat a full meal? Having to eat a small snack from a vending machine to tide you over never killed anybody.

People on forums who try to end a conversation because they don't like the way it's heading. Like, stopping everyone else from discussing it and imploring them to change the subject. I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that fan forums exist for the purpose of allowing fans to share their thoughts, criticisms and opinions. A place where fans can gather to talk about how they feel about the show and if you're trying to get people to stop doing that, you're an asshole. Just because people like something doesn't mean we have to cuddle it and give it blowjobs.

Speaking of Facebook, I get really annoyed by the chain letters. Because spam will totally help. REPOST SO THEY CAN'T TAKE YOUR PASSWORD. LIKE THIS TO HELP.

Chain letters and "liking" something don't do shit. Besides, the things they claim are inaccurate as hell anyway.

I've probably doomed several hundred children to painful deaths by leukemia by not liking Facebook statuses.

I'm a monster.

Speaking of chain statuses on Facebook, another thing that grinds my gears is when people share easily disproved hoaxes. Whenever I see one, I always look it up before I post anything. I wish more people would do the same.
