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

It's just frustrating having nothing interesting to talk with these people about. With that said, this is why I try to avoid having conversations at work as much as humanly possible. Sometimes, that's easier said than done though. (:_(
I feel you. I work in a place with a lot of down time with only 4 other employees MAX at a time, sometimes it's just me and another co-worker staring at each other with 30 minute gaps between actual work. So... I started reading the news (even the sports columns) again... mainly because I start an hour before everyone else and thr business gets a newspaper everyday. I bring up a topic, basically a headline, when they start trying to break silence in anything other than the job and then just ask them how they feel about it. My opinion is rarely made, and I just let them talk to fill the silence mainly because I don't want them to think I'm an antisocial asshole (which I am). Small talk is the worst, but awkward silence is some level of cringe I'm not able to tolerate irl.

All it takes from me is reading the news for about 20 minutes while i drink my coffee in the morning in silence, they think I'm "up on current events," and, the best part when trying to have a cohesive work environment, they don't think I'm a quiet asshole that thinks they are better than everyone else.

Thread tax: I really hate seeing people with video game themed tattoos. It would be the same to see someone have Lincoln logs, barbie, GiJoe, or Connect Four tattooed on their (white) pasty flesh.
 
This is more than likely a personal issue, but i've grown irritated by repetition. I internally groan every time i see another "I hate the antichrist", "My brother in Christ", "White girls fuck dogs" etc posted up in here. Cant explain why, but its annoying to me now.
Familiarity breeds contempt.

You sound like someone who loves the anti-Christ.

This has no doubt been mentioned before but I fucking hate it when you have a conversation with someone and the other person drop a conclusion about you as a person because you said something they disagree with. And it's always the worst possible direction to gain some upper hand like it's a competition. Or they just use classic ad hominen.

I also hate it when you have a talk with someone, airing out frustrations or talking about something really fucked up that happened to you and then the other asshole tries to pivot the conversation to them by trying to compete.

It's one thing to mention similar experiences in an act of solidarity. It's a whole other thing to go "Well I was bullied AND raped, feel bad for me"

Fuck you. As a friend, it's your job to listen and support. If you don't want to do that, it's fine but don't try to hog attention like that when I'm the one who almost died in a car crash.
 
How expensive "budget" hotels have gotten. I just stayed at a random Holiday Inn Express for like $170 for one night with all the taxes and bs.

To top it off the breakfast and coffee are so low quality that it would be a war crime to serve them to prisoners. Just stop offering an included breakfast instead of trying to squeeze out every penny by using grade F meat and roasted cockroach husks for coffee.

I'm not even that old and society is clearly going downhill. 10 years ago you could get a room for $80 ish and it would have an edible breakfast option. /Get off my lawn
 
Going to Walmart for the brake light for your car, and finding that your light and only your light is sold out. So you go down to the auto parts store, find that they have your light, but it's not the LL type (long life) and it's this cheap Chink Eiko brand light that probably only has a third the lifespan. Light bulbs are Satan, and at least for the fronts, I'm going to be investing in LED's because fuck this constant changing out of lights.
 
I bought a house.

It's 100 years old and has its original interior doors. All the knobs, which are shitty bakelite things with grabby edges, are at nipple height (also bicep height) and I keep walking too close to them. I'm very sore.
I wish I could afford a house. Shit.

Holiday Inn Express isn't really a budget hotel, it's marketed as a middle-of-the-road hotel for business travelers. Budget hotels are more like Super 8, Red Rash Roof Inn, or EconoLodge, which you can still get for around $100 a night after taxes most of the year.

I actually prefer a shitty chain hotel breakfast buffet to the sit-down breakfast you get at a fancier hotel. The food quality at a "nice" hotel is barely better than the Holiday Inn shit, but at least at a Holiday Inn, I can get a shitty free breakfast in about five minutes and get on with my day. Instant oatmeal or almost-stale Corn Flakes, whatever, I can live with that. At a more expensive hotel, I wait to be seated, I wait for the waitress to take my order, I wait for my food to arrive, and I wait for her to bring the check. It takes like an hour just for a bowl of runny oatmeal and a cup of bottom-shelf tea, and they have the gall to charge me like $20 for it. Motherfucker, I'm paying $350 a night to stay here, and you're going to charge me $20 for a breakfast that's 90% water?
 
Atheists who Do Not Listen to your answers to their arguments because they "know the right ones".
Not even in religious basis, I know a dude who is like this in anything he believes "disproved", like teenage girl suicide baiting one another or porn addiction making people degenerate. As in, he saw a "scientifically proven" note how (whatever) is not a thing? Then it is not a thing and anything you say may as well be white noise.

Something I do like is the buffet style breakfast some good hotels have, where they make your eggs, waffles, pancakes, steaks, etc. to order while you wait and then you take it back to your table. They usually have a person for each main course and it's fast as hell, or you can just make brunch your main meal of the day.

This can be pretty pricey if you go for options like steak and eggs, but it balances out if you're skipping dinner.

Also, in those "continental breakfasts" they have in all but the most bottom of the barrel hotels, one thing that is almost always good is those waffles you can make yourself. That and coffee and milk and OJ and bacon will get you started.
 
Say you want to learn something, and you ask somebody. Their go to answer is YouTube. Okay, then what is the point? If people are just going to handwave you to the Internet to learn something, what's the point of human interaction? Or even schooling?
On a similar vein, when you look up a question online, finally find the only forum post with what you're actually looking for, and the only reply is some snarky shit like "I'm not here to google it for you"
 
One of the things that drives me up the wall with adults is when they start listing off names of people who they know you've never met. It's how children tell stories except children have the excuse of being... children, so it's tolerable. No, I've never met Bob, stop assuming that I know the deep Bob lore. I've never met the guy and we've never even discussed him before.

Gnats are fucking worse. They constantly try to buzz into your food, your drinks, up your nose, or in your mouth, and no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the fucking things!
The cunts are breeding in my fucking windowsill herb planters and they're doing it faster than we can kill them. I've been woken up by one that ventured deep into my sinus cavity and made me have to blow my nose until it bled, we have to watch our drinks like teenage girls at a frat party, and at any given moment, one of us might look like some kind of schizoid by suddenly flailing and cussing at shit no one else can see. In stead of gaining a tolerance for these fuckers, we're just getting more and more sick of them.

It could be worse. They could be drain flies, which I hear are actually impossible to eradicate without gassing your house, which isn't even a guarantee.

My job has me move around every few months. My gig this time has me working with a bunch of gays. How do I know they're gay, you ask? The lisp, the catty gossiping, and the constant sexual conversations. I've been twerked on by a gay colleagues, I've been privy to conversations about how they're lusting after other colleagues, how they're meeting up on Grindr with other colleagues and "comparing toys", etc.
The disgusting shit I've heard and dealt with would be considered a highly inappropriate (dare I say, Toxic) work environment if the colleagues in question were straight, yet because they prefer shit on their dick they're free to be degenerate freaks in the workplace. The new boss is gay as well, so I'm not surprised my complaints fell on deaf ears.

I mention this because I may have fucked myself over. Long day wrapping up and the pozload posse is loudly talking about cocks and how Pride holidays need to be year round. I, in my infinite wisdom, say something along the lines of "You already have two and a half months. That's way more than enough." They get angry and respond by saying it's revenge for previous homophobia.

I expect higher ups to send me an email within a day or two. I'm so tired of this shit.

tl;dr Gays really grind my gears
