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

[DeeDee Megadoodoo]

The worst place to find beggars is in the drivethrough. They'll stand right next to the speaker/menu and beg for money, apparently thinking people will feel they can't claim to be broke if they're buying something for themselves. The businesses always shoo them off when they see them, but they can hang around undetected at a lot of places because of the way the menu is placed. The last time I encountered one I told the cashier they have a homeless piece of shit begging for money by the menu and I was prepped for a shouting match with the meth addled loon, but he just spun around and walked away, unphased. LA is such a shit hole.

It always amazes me when homeless get snippy if you don't do exactly what they want. Beggars can't be choosers, but they've learned they can try because bleeding hearts will bend over backwards to suck their own cock for the homeless and those people can be guilted easily

Yesterday I was out doing some errands, and some employees of a store were out presumably on their break, and a hobo goes to one of them who was pulling out a cig out of the box and says (translated from Spanish) "Yes this time, buddy", which I imagine means he asked for a cig before and the guy told him he didn't have any. Now the hobo caught him red handed and told him to give him one as if de facto he had to.
A female coworker of the guy told the hobo "Say please?"
He didn't.

The guy still gave him the cig, there was no escaping it I guess.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

People who bring their spouses to work.

I don't mean like work functions, like straight up just work.

It's happened at two jobs I've had now, and they make it a point of introducing her to me while I'm busy as fuck doing my actual work. It's also been a complete managerial goober each time too.

Shoulda just said "No habla Espanol"

Don't work too good in a Latin American Hispanic country

 

[AnOminous]

If you think that's bad, try homeless people hanging out on corners of busy freeway offramps, trying to jump in front of cars like they're trying to win a civil suit lottery or some shit. Maybe they're just insane. Doesn't make the suicide baiting any easier to deal with.

That's when you hit the accelerator. They can't sue if they never see your license plate.

You know those Youtube videos that are just people talking over game footage?

I don't hate those.

What I DO hate is when they don't tell you what the game is. Especially if the game actually looks kind of interesting. Seriously, what game is that?

Another YT one, lately uBlock has been inconsistent about working--sometimes it'll block ads, sometimes it won't. Though the ads that make it through are always at the beginning of the video, making me wonder if that has something to do with that inconsistency.

Knocking, then IMMEDIATELY opening the door is rude.

Superflight: https://store.steampowered.com/app/732430/Superflight/

I own the game, so I didn't need to, but I went ahead and googled "flight suit game steam" to see if it would be the first result, and sure enough, it was.

I guess "people asking questions that could be answered in 5 seconds with a Google search" can be my obligatory contribution to the thread.

Knocking, then IMMEDIATELY opening the door is rude.

When it comes to at home situations, bedrooms in particular, I always wonder (but mostly lean toward thinking the latter) if people who do this are trying to walk in on someone in a compromised situation or are actually just retards that validate the NPC meme. God forbid that a retard waits the 1 to 3 seconds for a response before barging in like an uninteresting version of Cosmo Kramer.

Let me say something on that. The knock startles you, then once the door opens, you're left with NO TIME to react. I'd argue it's as bad as just barging in. The knock is supposed to be a courtesy to await entry for privacy. (I even had to look up WHY you knock on a door, I'm so mad.) What if I'm asleep or getting dressed? Now if the door is ajar, that's different. But not a completely SHUT door, locked or not.

It's like announcing that you're going to burp/fart at a dinner table yet you do it anyway.

Another similar thing, don't talk to me when I'm on the phone unless I indicate that I would like to.

Someone saying they're punk but acting like a prude and only listening to pop punk. I'm not some shaved hair fag but I like calling John Wayne a Nazi and screaming slurs at the top of my lungs.

 

[Inside your walls]

Because of stumbling upon a certain individual, I got reminded what really dislike when it comes to
certain types of people and interacting with them.

People who think being a snarky passive aggressive contrarian in EVERY TOPIC is a personality and genuinely can't say nothing positive about anything.
You can tell they way they speak or write they picked that personality from circlejerks on reddit or some other shithole of a social media site, and think they are gods' gift graced upon this earth.

To add the cherry on top of the shit sundae, they often have this need to openly try starting shit/antagonizing others, but when the person/group they try starting shit with turns tables on them
and pushes their shit in, they start crying and expecting sympathy from others for reaping what they sown.

But what grinds my gears about these types of people, if they aren't recent additions to a friend group but were there before you, get constantly coddled and enabled by their friend group
and you can't really say anything otherwise you're a big meanie and the problem.

 

[Radola Gajda]

People who in Anno Domini 2023 still unironically sperg about muh white privilege.

Also people who dont turn down volume of their shitty music when they drive around in car in middle of night.

Basically:

People like that irk me. It's one of the reasons why I'm usually introverted. Funnily enough, KF's A&N section is like that.

Forgive me for wanting to be curious about a topic and immediately be told to "Google it."

Here's another contribution: People who say "just Google everything" in a topic--on a forum--that already bitches at length about "terminally online" people who don't interact with other human beings. God forbid people want a human answer and don't always trust search engines.

What makes this even dumber is.... I tried Google. I didn't get Superflight. Turns out I was using different search terms. So great, dumbass, you just proved "it could be googled in five seconds...." IF you own the game already and know what terms to look for. Way to defeat your own argument.

Besides it was one line in a post that mentioned other things, don't act like it was the full post.

 

[maguyver16]

People ahead of me in line who buy lotto scratch-offs when I'm just trying to fill my tank and buy a pack of smokes.

Just rest assured that they are wasting their money.

When people are doing that in front of me, I often think about their bills that aren't being paid, medical needs not being attended to, stuff like that, and it makes me realize that those people have a problem. I almost feel like a gambling addiction is worse than a drug problem, considering how serious money issues can be in terms of people's relationships and quality of life.

Someone saying they're punk but acting like a prude and only listening to pop punk. I'm not some shaved hair fag but I like calling John Wayne a Nazi and screaming slurs at the top of my lungs.

Pop punk is for whiney millennials who are still butthurt about their parents divorce, and should not be taken seriously or respected in the slightest, fight me.

It ASTOUNDS me how much balls these motherfuckers have these days, and how they're just allowed to verbally abuse people in the street going about their business.

Obviously, this is Bongland.

It didn't seem that obvious, as we have "those" constant problems clogging up the streets of the cities over here.

Hopefully someday things will be different.

I bing'd "game where you like fly and shit", and I didn't find it either. Did find some interesting porn though, and this dumb game.

What grinds my gears are fat/slow/old people at the grocery store with zero awareness of other people trying to walk around them.

Not to sound racist, but I HATE talking to somebody on the phone that doesn't understand English.
