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

[starborn427614]

Probably not the topic for this but...

I hate the misuse of the term "Sellout."

Like here's an example of what I usually see: "The first two Batman games by Rocksteady were great, but then they totally sold out for the third."

No, fuck you. If its a Batman or other major IP game, it DIDN'T "Sell out" because it never had any real purity or integrity to begin with!

The Scott Cawthon/Five Nights at Freddy's fanbase are just about the only people who use the term correctly, and even that's questionable.

It's a term used by people who confuse needing to pay the bills with not having any morals. Calling someone a hack is a similar issue, like I would say a hack is someone who completely abandons their integrity when it suits them but most would use it to describe someone who made something they didn't like.

If you get too close to them, fat people probably oil your gears too.

Go back to reddit, then, faggot.

Nah, I'll just continue laughing at the autism from some of the faggots on here.

Same but for me it's the fact that all women are "thicc" now.
That fat fold is not a curve, bitch. Average women pretending really fat women are somehow brave or beautiful is a disturbing trend that they only indulge so there will be less competition for them.

I'm taking phenylephrine for a head cold. The box says to wait at least 4 hours between doses, but I'm right in the height of this cold and they start wearing off after like 2 hours

Co-opting Southern speech is a weird phenomena with those types.

"Stay hydrated" and "Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals" really get on my last nerve too.

Like teens in London speaking with a Jamaican accent. Despite having no connection to Jamaica, and being white too.

I say y'all but I'm from the south. I don't think there's anything wrong with it if it doesn't come from a place of co-opting faggotry. I don't know, just saying 'you guys' or 'you all' takes too long for me.

Not to harp on this too much, but that's one of the drugs that's no better than a placebo. It's well worth taking the extra effort (going to a real pharmacy, showing ID if necessary in your country) and getting pseudoephedrine.

Notice how the negative studies in that survey were all unpublished. Drug companies do this all the time to make their products look better. It's not the only example of an "over the counter substitute drug" that has not been shown better than a placebo.

I actually did ask for that on your suggestion but the girl behind the counter gave me the cattle stare

Since this is the piss-off thread: customer-facing staff who are clearly not sufficiently trained.

I'm reminded of how Amberlynn Reid dialed up the ebonics and started eating a ton of watermelon when she started dating a black girl lmao

Looks like suddenly interrupting REM sleep has something to do with that. Also it sucks.

Also sucks how it seems I can't have lucid dreams, nor get the "mind awake body asleep" state lucid dreamers talk about. When I sleep, waking consciousness goes. If I get waking consciousness in dream, I wake up. Also my dreams are only of what I know IRL.

I've rarely been able to fully lucid dream. Sometimes I can change small details. Best thing I ever did in a dream was using my mind and willpower to rid these concrete walls of their gray coloring, and replaced it with animated neon figures. I should learn how to lucid dream better.

Same here. If I can gain awareness that I'm dreaming and I'm going to wake up soon, I may use superpowers.

(superpowers like teleportation, projecting force fields, etc.)

Other times I get to fly in dreams that aren't lucid at all, but it's always limited by my IRL experience. So flying is slow, and "flight ceiling" is about 2 or 3 stories high. If I try to fly higher, the sky is suddenly full of tree branches or power lines or both. Or the dream "breaks down" and changes the story. It can be annoying.

Co worker found out that he got his ex GF pregnant. He suddenly wanted to have a life with her and raise his kid. She had broken up with him because he was a serial cheater and alcoholic, and basically told him the only way she'd give him another chance is if he stopped drinking and fucking around.

He swore he would, then hooked up with a chick at a bar 4 days later.

The thing that grinds my gears the most is he spends all day at work just bitching and moaning that some other guy is going to raise his kid, and that his baby mama is a fucking bitch for not taking him back again. I wish this was a zoomer thing but the dude is in his 30's and still won't take any responsibility or even feel shame for his lack of willpower and commitment.

No they do have a connection. Their ancestors bought slaves to send there to grow sugar cane.

Basing people on whether or not they're a virgin and or how many times they've gotten laid.

Yeah the whole "incel" term fucked up a generation of men and women. Yeah some guys are unironically just that dude who praises Elliot Rodger and thinks all women need to be gassed. But it is fucked up that we had a brief period where we told men they didn't/shouldn't have to define themselves by their bodycount to equivocating them to spree-shooters.
There's plenty of decent dudes who want sexual/romantic fulfillment that haven't achieved it. No real shame in that.
Also this weird desire for tradcon virgin women that don't exist isn't helping matters either.

I just wish we could go back to a time where people could be happy without checking off every box for societal inclusion. As much as it's fun to shit on lolcows, I think there is something to be learned by most guys from them in that they have autistic hobbies that they have a passion for. That's what guys need to learn right now. It's okay to be into things outside of sex/finances without feeling ashamed just as long as you're trying to also exist in polite society.
