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

[Coelacanth]

@Bog-standard Poster I totally get that. Thing is boy racers tend to add illegal parts to their cars, so there's also the risk of the government bringing in more restrictions that'll only affect enthusiasts who actually respect the law.

It is funny winding the boy racer in my village up though. All it takes is keeping your speed below thirty and being in a road so narrow he can't tear his way through - and if you happen to have a car camera in your back window he backs off real quick. Other than that there really isn't anything else we can do until either enough of us complain to the council or someone gets killed - and I'm hazarding a guess it's going to be the latter.

someone gets killed - and I'm hazarding a guess it's going to be the latter.

if it's any consilation, the boy racers with naff cars who tear-arse around at the early hours are usually inexperienced enough to not know how to handle bad road conditions.

Trying to do 0-60 on a dry road is one thing, but when they try it in the ice and wet, they usually go 0-St.Peter real quick.

lowered the price

Sucks how it seems the prices of groceries in general still haven't really gone down. A carton of the "organic" kind of milk can go for about $5 to $7, a loaf of bread for around $5, etc. Seems the only stuff that has dropped in prices were eggs (after that egg crisis thing where it seemed the prices were skyrocketing up towards $1 per egg).

My TV always turns on and goes to HDMI port 1. My computer is plugged into HDMI port 2. I finally today decided "You know what, pressing Source on the remote control 4 times when I turn on the TV is annoying, I'll plug the computer into HDMI port 1." I did this, rebooted the TV. Now it defaults to HDMI port 2.


Why? Why would you automatically detect whether a port was in use, then default to the port that wasn't in use? Explain this shit Samsung you fucking niggers.

 

[internet friend]

tear around in built-up areas like it's the indie 500.

This sort of shit is definitely a plague to enthusiasts. There's a world of difference in giving it some in the country/mountain backroads and doing it right in the middle of town.
Although it's always a good laugh to see the boy racer who bigs themselves up so much on the street, but are never anywhere to be found on track days.

That's because it's usually White socjus genderblobs trying to take/reclaim chud language and/or be down with niggers of color. But "ya'll" especially pisses me off. That's a big tipoff for some upper middle class sheltered White retard. Same tumblrista origin as "sorry sweaty"

It’s meant to be a genderless solution to “you guys” which offends legbeards and trannies. That way you don’t get to say “you girls” which offends legbeards. So it’s basically a cringe way of avoiding highly sensitive faggots. I saw this happen a while ago and I reflexively responded, “I didn’t know we said y’all in <x>, I thought that was a southern thing.” They never said it again, or at least around me.

Sucks how it seems the prices of groceries in general still haven't really gone down. A carton of the "organic" kind of milk can go for about $5 to $7, a loaf of bread for around $5, etc. Seems the only stuff that has dropped in prices were eggs (after that egg crisis thing where it seemed the prices were skyrocketing up towards $1 per egg).

Those prices ain’t ever going down again. Even if the cost to produce it gets cut, people are used to those prices and that means more money in their pockets.

So far this new millennium sort of sucks...

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

update on the faggy faggers?

I'm getting sick of all these retarded hate threads in General Discussion.

Diversity hires, if you can't do the fucking job you shouldn't be here

"Diversity hires" is a reason there may be a "competency crisis" later. If too many are hired because "identity" and not skill, goods and services are gonna suck (more).

I'm getting sick of all these retarded hate threads in General Discussion.

Reminds me of that "Two Minutes Hate" thing from 1984 for some reason.

I would agree with you if it weren't so funny how badly the manchildren are tardraging over a bunch of women in the BP giggling over men having stinky butts and dirty bedsheets. The same men with a thousand woman hate threads full of projection and sexual malice, mind you. Someone else said it well when she pointed out that the dudes casually talk about murdering us for not submitting or whatever and say we're being so hateful and angry for giggling at their skidmarks in between discussing objectively fucked up shit that no one decent who doesn't act like that would be offended by.

My point is that it's hilariously hypocritical that it's suddenly a problem that the man hate thread exists, considering the context.

One or two threads to stir the pot is pretty funny. But these threads are popping up in the tens to (soon) hundreds.

That just goes to show how unadventerous I am, I suppose. I wasn't aware of any epidemic, just that a ton of seething toddlers are crying about that one thread all over the site and in that thread and have actually been resorting to trying to get the mods to censor it.

I apologize for making the assumption.

No worries, it's an easy mistake to make. As for just how bad it's gotten, a quick search shows 25 seperate "Official kiwifarms X hate thread"s, and I know there's probably other variations I'm missing.

There's definitely people from both threads seething in their own and the opposing threads, which is gay, so I'll apologize for the derailers as someone who posts in the woman-hate thread for fun. I think most people are posting in the respective threads for shits and giggles and mostly minor grievances about the other sex, but some people are taking it way too seriously unfortunately.

Encouraging censorship of anything on here is fucking gay, though, and those who do should rightly be called fags.

There are scams in Russia where scammers would

• phone the mark,
• pretend to be either the mark's hysterical adult child or a police officer / prosecutor,
• claim the adult child of the mark is guilty of a road accident in which a person was severely injured or killed
• and demand money for a bribe, to avoid prosecution.

Why aren't the marks going to prison for attempted bribery?
I've no sympathy at all, if their first instinct is to get their allegedly murderous failson/daughter back on the road to murder again, they deserve to lose the money.

One of these scammers phoned my dad and cried, "dadddiiiiiiiiii i hit a maaaaaan". Dad said, "You're disowned. I hope they beat the stupid out of you in the 'camps".

If wannabe communists "social justice warriors" would stop trying to DDoS this site, that would be great.

Taking KF down won't magically "cancel" any BS they've tried to pull.

Loads a lot faster on TOR right now than it did on clearnet the past few days.

People who use anxiety or autism as an excuse to never get a job, or DO their job for that matter. I've known people with fucking TOURETTES in blue collar trades that still became excellent craftsmen.

An absolute fucking cunt on Ebay hiked up the price on some used thing I was thinking about buying at well over $100. Normally I'd chalk this up to some weird bad luck on my part (since who the fuck raises the price rather than lowering it on a used listing that hasn't sold in months?), but the asshole motherfucker increased it by about 20% immediately after I asked a question about it that made it clear I was planning on buying it if the answer was good. I would have bought it even at that price if that's what it already was, but I'm not paying an extra hefty fee to get kiked. It's not exactly a necessity item, so the dickhead can keep it.

I fucking hate kikes and the kikes at heart.
