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

[Shadfan666xxx000]

I've been noticing that Google search has been doing this thing where it replaces what you search with what it thinks you want to search instead. For example, terms like "fun projects", "dinner ideas" or "laidback video games" will instead return results almost exclusively for "cheap projects", "quick dinner ideas" or "latest video games". It's fucking driving me up the wall.

Lol, Google just called your ass broke. On that note broke niggas grind my gears. They annoy me. Unless they make me laugh, like you just did.

If this is the case, it's still blacks who are the only ones who feel this way then

Maybe you should try getting a real job?

Maybe you should try getting a real job?

You don't even know what job i work currently lmfao

Simply speaking from experience (and other peoples experience with blacks) from when I worked at dennys or similar places when I was around 19 doesn't denote anything that I'm doing for work now. But despite that i can't help but still feel somewhat sympathetic for people who serve niggos -- especially since jobs in recent years are more difficult than ever land, so simply saying to them "oh just get a real job" is a lot easier said than done. As a result I'll gladly tip those kids, especially since I'm being a nigger otherwise.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, even did a search to make sure. People who clip their fingernails at work, AT THEIR DESK. Not only are these people leaving behind bits of their nails but the sound alone is worse than any open mouth chewing, pen clicking, or knee bouncing. The sporadic and metallic "tink" is as appalling to me as it is astounding to me that anyone would lack the self-awareness and common fucking decency to just do that shit at home.

Brushing your teeth or rinsing with mouthwash in the office restroom or breakroom after lunch is one thing, but what in the fuck? How does a hygiene routine that only occurs every few days at most become something that just needs to happen immediately in the middle of a work day, out in the workspace no less? Does this degenerate also bring an electric razor to shave their damn legs right there? How about one of those cheese grater things people use to grind the callouses off of their feet? Maybe wax out the old nose hairs during phone calls bi-monthly? Good Lord, the absolute barbarism.

People who make owning a dog their personality. My aunt will argue with me about which breed is better because I have a German Shepard and she has a lab. She can also get weirdly passive aggressive at me for having cats, and will make weird statements about cats not being friendly, despite my cats literally coming over to rub on her. Then there's the insistence that everything has to pander to her dogs. I don't let my dog sit and hop on people who obviously don't like it, and I'm not gonna sit there and let her dog knock my kids over nonstop.

Of course she would argue with you, she has an objectively inferior dog.

Thread tax: People who try and tell me the algorithm in any software or app works flawlessly for them, therefore I should just download it and subject all my private information to the cloud AI willingly. I constantly struggle with any new shit that comes out because it's bloated and filled with ways to advertise kikery to you, and no one can understand why I wouldn't want to worship Moloch with them.

Do note: The replies are full of coping and seething from artists.

I realized I may not be much of a fan of the typical modern art scene, or at least the typical modern Western one on deviantART.

They can overvalue art - like thinking works they make are like "children" - and can not take too kindly (to put it lightly) to mocking what they make. They can overthink what is or isn't art, and overvalue originality. And of course it seems they usually think of mere copying as "theft" or even worse. And it seems they're quite often fanatical and anal supporters of copyright: for example, a proposed "orphan works" part of copyright law caused a "gathering of the tribes" of artists to protest it. Also while being different isn't always bad, they can be TOO different in a freakish way. And of course there is the easy ego and elitism.

If AI makes NI*-made art a mere hobby that's not done for money, that could be a good thing, at least with deflating the ego.

*(natural intelligence)

In the book "The Birds The Frogs" (IIRC), there's the claim that artists are usually (or was it always?) stupid, infantile, and egotistical.

How does a hygiene routine that only occurs every few days at most become something that just needs to happen immediately in the middle of a work day, out in the workspace no less?

I could understand if someone brushed their teeth at work after lunch because they had a dentist appointment later that same afternoon or if they had a dental reason to religiously brush/rinse after every meal. Otherwise, workplace bathrooms - especially those in shared office buildings - tend to be so disgusting that I wouldn't want to use my toothbrush in them unless I had no choice.

thread tax: People who make stuff up - whether out of sheer ignorance or because they know better and simply don't care - just to make you look bad.

And then when they seem to have somehow fallen for their own lies. How does one do this? .... At all?

More of an autistic annoyance but when you drive through a fast food place, pull into the parking lot to eat and some clodhopper decides to pull in right next to your car to eat as well, despite the parking lot being completely empty. You couldn’t just pick another spot, dude?

Same thing if you have to take a piss in a public restroom. Empty row of urinals and your weird ass takes the one right next to me.

When the cars are so closely parked, you have to edge your way in/out to not HIT the car. And hope they don't hit YOU.

High schoolers decided to use a damn mushroom as their model for haircuts.

Wait till you guys see Ket Wigs as a fashion statement, honestly it's been a thing here for the last few years and it just looks like oyu lost a fight with a angry lawnmower.

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?

I can answer this one even as a bong - they have multiple "agencies" they sell the debt too at auction, it starts at £10 value of debt and goes all the way up to multiple millions but the sweet spot according to someone I know who worked in that field for a while (he had no other option) was the £500 - £3000 debt bracket as they where considerd the most likely to pay and have assets they wish to keep.

Fucking vanlife influencers.

There is a Smith on YT I am subscribed to and he's tried to help his vanlife daughter and her BF out, he's a legitimately nice bloke but his daughter just seems to follow trends and wants to be popular, you can see it hurts him doing it but it's the only thing he can do to help her other than tossing money her way, and he does want her to be better but she rebuffd him a lot in her teens so he's using this as a way to maintain contact with her.

The obsession with race today. I miss the time (i.e the 90s/2000s) when we all got along together and race barely crossed our minds, before identity politics swooped in and destroyed it. Good times, man.

In my lifetime I've seen it go from "Noracisim" to "We're not racist" to "some racisim" to "YOUR THE MOST RACIST THING TO EXIST EVER", In my primary school class I had 3 Chinese kids, and 5 Black Kids and non of us thought anything about it we where just kids who all got along and I looked up a few of my old classmates once just to see how things where going and 2 of the kids have become race baiters.

I hate having to decipher email addresses verbally. They'll speak it so fast, then get mad when you ask them to slow down.

I'm kinda lucky that my emails are nearly all first.last@domain.com but I have access to a cheap office 365 subscription so I use it when Libre office wont do (a lot of excel stuff) and it's hell trying to talk to the indian on the other end of a shitty VOIP line to verify your account - In the end I worked out the problem and fixed it myself but fucking hell that was a torture for 30 minutes.

Idk how many 'homeless' rants I've posted thus far, but here is another:

Quick smoke outside my office the other day. I hear some crackhead bitch to my left shouting at me for a solid 10 seconds. Finally turn, and see she's gesturing for a cigarette. I make eye contact and just shake my head.

Some OTHER homeless piece of shit across the street (Irish, drunk, shocker,) proceeds to verbally trash me for the entire duration I'm smoking, about how I'm a 'selfish fat cunt' (I'm not fat lol,) and how my attitude will 'be the end of me' - all for not giving away free shit to these cretins. What makes it better? This green shitpig was smoking a cigarette the entire time.

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.

I got called a Bastard not so long ago for digging out a path towards a crypt because some homeless people had set up shop there, the thing was the people burried in this crypt (that needed some serious repair) and the people who where burried there died of the Pulmonic Plague and these nobheads where trying to break into the the crypts thinking there was right gold shit inside - they tried to bring the local paper in about "Evil developers evicting the local homeless" but it turned into them running a story about the dangers of old grave sites.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, even did a search to make sure. People who clip their fingernails at work, AT THEIR DESK.

That's always squicked me out, I have a friend who bought a 2nd hand laptop and the space bar was a little unresponsive so asked me to help him work out what was going on and I found a nasty massive toe nail clipping under the space bar when I give it a blow out with my compressor - I work in a field where broken nails are common so nipping off the end with a knife or pliers of a broken nail is common but to just sit there casually doing basic hygeen is a bit of a fucking spectical.

This happens in any market that becomes "collectable" in my field - Anvils, they have become collectable as "art objects" same with a lot of other tools but anvils stand out, they are just big lumps of Steel and Iron but sell for a premium because hipsters like to decorate a space with "Art" I regularly get approached by people saying "Hey I've got this old anvil that's rare want to check it out?" 9/10 it's a beat to death ASO they want a premium for and act affronted when I say it's barely worth the price of the scrap metal, as art people will pay it as long as it's in style but even then people have limmits and ideas -

Just to give you an example my Anvil (well my main one) weighs 350lbs, it's now 170 years old but it was owned by people who took care of it and had the skill and abillity to reforge it when needed, including adding a 2in plate of nice steel to it at some point on the face, the most I needed to do to it when I got it was use a hard face rod to neaten up some edges and square up the hardy hole - but Old Tools (even ones not so old) are starting to become a premium item for decorators and it's fucking disgusting seeing them take old but very useable tools out of the market and destroy them with "upcycleing".

Otherwise, workplace bathrooms - especially those in shared office buildings - tend to be so disgusting that I wouldn't want to use my toothbrush in them unless I had no choice.

It's one thing to have a specific need for a space, one guy I regularly work with has to use a disabled toilet so they have to have a disabled toilet on site (he's in a wheel chair and has a special requirement, I've carried him up ladders before today on my back) but on small sites where you know each other that does not happen they are clean if not clean like in your home, but on larger jobs I have a small campervan toilet in the back of my Landy I let people I know use because the other bogs are fucking disgusting.

Especially when it's The Big Bang Theory. It's one of those shows that makes you SEEM like an intellectual but you can tell it's for a common audience.

Memes in general annoy me.
