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

[The Last Stand]

I've always called the game Hotline Miami the "patient zero" for all of this.

I believe it started with Vice City in 2002.

Speaking of which, zoomers trying to be "retro" and end up sticking out like a sore thumb. Especially with revisionist history going on about the past to make themselves feel important.

I like Hotline Miami, but god damn did it give Zoomers the wrong impression of the 80's

I believe it started with Vice City in 2002.

Nah, Vice City does it right. It's embellished but it's done right.

The current "analog aesthetic" zoomers seem to be invested in could only be done by people who were born a decade+ after the 80's and their only frame of reference is seemingly goofy shit made in the modern era like Kung Fury, Far Cry Blood Dragon and Hotline Miami.

Edit: I've become super annoyed at the idea a lot of people seem to have that Joe Rogan, a man who's mostly known for stool humping, is now the arbiter of comedy/stand up.

I hate it when women insist they're "ladies" and insist on being treated like "ladies," when they don't even behave lady-like in the first place. It's worse when the women in question are disgusting, awful women who waste no time condeming men, but they act just like or worse than men. If you want to be treated like a lady, then fucking act like one.

I hate how damn negative everything is now. Its pointless. It's utterly arbitrary. There's nothing but serious people on all walks of life trying to justify how shitty everything is when it never had to be and for what? Nobody is any smarter and richer for it. But everyday there's either a cynical cashgrab tugging at your heartstrings or some jackass wagging their finger or some dispossessed loner talking about how shitty the world is and that's if you're lucky enough for them to speak and open up instead of trying to scurry away from the conversation like you're a jehovahs witness with leprosy. Whats the point of it all being so shitty when nobody had a reason for it?

Ok...I know that the poor cashiers are forced to say the lines the company demands, but God fucking damn it I am so sick and fucking tired of teenagers behind a till not just taking my money and saying "have a nice day sir".
No I don't want to donate anything so that the fucking store can make a tax deductible donation to some 501C3.
No I don't want to join your retarded rewards club, which requires that I give you all of my personal information short of my current sperm count.
No I don't want a fucking credit card from your retail establishment. I bank...with my fucking bank.
Just take my money and fuck off.
Sorry to sperg.

Retail manager here. They have to do this because the higher-ups at corporate make them.

If they fail to get enough sign-ups, donations, credit cards, etc. they at best get dragged into the office, and bitched at by managers who got bitched at by the people above them, and at worst, get fired for "poor job performance".

We all hate doing it. We all find it scummy af, and know that you the customer think that, and also hate it. Blame the higher-ups in Commiefornia for it because we can't do anything about it.

Trust me, no one hates it more than the workers, and it's one of the reasons I'm so glad the place I manage now doesn't do shit like that.

Medical bill jewery

.... I just had what little income tax I've made completely negated to pay a medical bill to a hospital.
This medical bill was for a 30 minute appointment for a spider bite and a week long perscription I didn't even pick up. Said bill was originally just over 500 dollars. Now I apparently owe them 5000 dollars.

I'm going to ask for an itemized hospital bill and essentially tell them fuck you... But there's not much else I can do. These gooks can essentially continue to rob me for the next several years because I'm not willing to pay them for a short appointment.
I fucking hate this country sometimes.

But there's not much else I can do.

Disclaimer: This is not financial advice, this is just what I did.

I consistently sent my hospital various amounts of money when I had a 5000 dollar bill with them. It was always very small amounts, usually less than a hundred dollars. When they contacted me I just plead poverty and sent them even less the next month. I would really play it up too.

After about two years, they absolved the bill as a charitable act for taxes. The hospital did have a religious affiliation though so that may have had something to do with it.

If you do have the funds to float this kind of expense don't forget you can deduct the part of it over 7.5% AGI (which for the average single filer AGI is about $2600) https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502

That'd be great advice if these bills weren't a year old already.
I love how they told me today that it was "sent to collections" when I got a note from the IRS that it was going directly toward them. Why the fuck would you be taking the bill if you've sent it out to these magical collection agencies you can't give me the names of, faggot?
It shouldn't even be near 5000 dollars but (((they))) always find a way, don't they?
The best thing is moving out of the shithole state soon, so I don't know how they'll be able to affect my taxes after that.
If I ever am in the street bleeding from a gunshoot wound, I'm buying fucking bandaids.

it's not about the nail!

Never saw that before, thanks.

That was gold!

When you hit your knee on something, that shit STINGS.

I regained weight I lost because I hurt my body badly. I want to lose it again since I’ve healed, work out, and get sent off to the marines but now I have to do it all over again.

 

[The Last Stand]

I notice that I would sit in the same spot for hours on end when I'm supposed to be doing something else or going to sleep.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

When people ask questions that could easily be deduced with half a second of thinking before hand. "Is that jacket for winter?" No shit it's for winter.

Calm down, they're probably just trying to make small talk.

I hate how the flag being lowered to half mast has lost meaning. I remember when I was a kid you noticed it because of how uncommon it was. National tragedy, National days of morning, ect.
Now if some dumb nigger stubs a toe the flag goes down.
Patriot sperging I guess, but this shit really gets under my skin with increasing intensity.

Oh it does with me too. It seems like the flags spend more time down than up now.

 

[Neighborhood Curmudgeon]

One person in my life reminded me of another thing that pisses me off: People who think they're smart just because they have opinions. They treat their own opinions like they're the Word of God. They refuse to admit they could ever be wrong or don't know what they're talking about. It's worse when this said person stands by their opinions even when they're shown to be wrong or stupid. This person I know, who happens to be a relative too, takes their own opinions too seriously. They're so delusional they don't seem to care, or notice, that I stopped taking them seriously a long time ago.

It felt good to rant about that. Thanks for hearing me out!

 

[AnOminous]

They treat their own opinions like they're the Word of God. They refuse to admit they could ever be wrong or don't know what they're talking about.

I fucking hate people like that. Especially when they don't recognize my opinions are better than theirs. Because they're faggots.

I'll send my relative your way then. You can put them in their place!

I mean I'm not trying to be autistic about this but I just don't know how the conversation is actually meant to flow when I go outside and come back a minute later with a stack of envelopes and coupons and someone comes up to me and looks at it and says Is that the mail?

It's a bit difficult to get past the sense that they're actually asking me a question to which the only correct answer is already obvious. And even putting that aside, I think I have a problem with being expected to go along with what feels like a lazy sort of conversational lob. You cookin' pancakes? Yes, very astute of you. (Yes, I offer them some, but don't get me started on the topic of rewarding passive-aggressive non-requests.) It's like when you're in the middle of a pretty unambiguous and common activity and someone comes up and asks What are you doing? And even though they ask it in the "hey what's up" way and not the "how did you get in my house" way there's still something grating about being asked stupid questions as a form of greeting. I dunno, I blame the helpdesk.

 

[Lady Bizness]

Fucking vanlife influencers. Stop videotaping yourself making pancakes in your van in my neighborhood. I'm not your NPC.

And then the dumb comments from people two neighborhoods over saying "oh well I think it's nice that someone appreciates our community, you should be more welcoming ~~~"

Yeah bitch easy to say when these vans aren't parking on your doorstep.
