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

[internet friend]

The fact that I need to jump through so many hoops just to change the wallpaper on my phone.

>choose photo
>photo is too zoomed in
>screenshot original photo and trying using that
>photo is now too zoomed out
>try to zoom in
>now it is off-center and the clock is blocking most of the picture
>try to realign it only for the phone to keep changing the color filter
>somehow get it to work only for it to set the photo to both the lock screen and home screen
>repeat the process again

Why the fuck is this so hard now? This wasn't a problem ten years ago.

Technology has gone so backwards lately. I remember years ago you used to be able to install and customise all sorts of whacky shit on your phone or computer if you put your mind to it. Now days I can't even have my phone Bluetooth music to my car without it giving me a volume warning.

People who read popular psychology and won't shut the fuck up about it. It is legitimately just astrology for midwits that think they're big brain because they an throw around psychobabble and have Eckhart Tolle's dick so far down their throats that it's tickling their lungs. God forbid they start quoting Jung out of context.

Just hit em with "If you enjoy delving so much in psychology, Freud quoted that it makes you horny for your maternal figure" and just leave.

Two reasons why I try to avoid using clinical terms; 1: I don't want to be mistaken for one of these. 2: It's extremely tiring to deal with nitwits who are offended by big words.

I do hope you're not merely angry at people for using terms outside of your vocabulary just because your scope of understanding, experience and interest isn't completely overlapped with theirs. But if you're dealing with someone who saw a piece of psyche media and now thinks they're a qualified specialist, you have my condolences, because those are fucking insufferable. If they actually think Freud was anything other than a coke headed, sex obsessed pedophile kike, please look at that quack's cow worthy bullshit and talk about it to the insufferable individual.

It's the latter. I have absolutely no issue with people reading whatever they want and enjoying things I might not, that's A-okay. I'm talking about the sort of people that will skim one paper and start using terms they barely understand in regular conversation, even out of context. Clinical terminology has its time, place, and using it well can add a lot to a conversation, but shitting out psychobabble unprompted gets very grating very fast.

Okay, I've had enough of this one coworker. Never says hello, not once in three years she's been here, always looks like she's scared to death of everyone. You know what, fuck you bitch, I don't care if you've got trauma. I know people who have trauma and they don't go around wincing at every thing and can muster a cordial "good morning" even when they don't feel friendly. Saying good morning is how you acknowledge your fellow human exists and has feelings. I don't care if some post modernist wants to deconstruct perfunctory greetings and small talk, or if some comedian wants to make a wry observation about it. It doesn't make it any less inflammatory when one person says hello and the other doesn't.
Even autistic people can be trained to say hello. If you are functioning enough to run a copy machine and answer emails you can say HELLO. Now I sound like Jerry's uncle.
She probably doesn't even have trauma.
There's another gal at work who's a little bit like this too, but once she warms up to you, she's kind of cool. Even though this one now smiles at me in the hallway, why the hell did I have to earn this, the very bottom of the barrel human decency?
If it was just me I wouldn't be complaining. But what set me off is one of my other coworkers sat in my office at the end of Friday saying "What the fuck is wrong with her? Did I do something wrong? I'm not a mean person!"
And then we picked apart her retarded gothy outfits.

If anyone ever talks any bullshit about "the sisterhood" show them this post.

In real life women are complete and utter cunts to other women.

go out of their way to be as viscerally unpleasant as possible to those that are deemed acceptable targets

I have said something like this before, but it really does seem the internets and mass media -- at least Western -- has way too much BS demoralizing preaching to try to BS into excessive conformity. Crap like "why this thing you like is wrong", "why that thing you like is cringe", "only losers like what you like", and "here is how you suck". Too much over and over and over to the point where it can be draining to be exposed to that. Also while it may seem like only SJWs pull that BS, it is not limited to them.

Potheads, not just people who smoke a little, but full on potheads piss me off. I know two, one's a complete piece of shit who steals from his elderly parents to get money for pot and burgers. The other is someone who I love and matters alot to me, but damn their behaviour frustrates me because it's stupid and/or inconsiderate, such as attempting to buy mail order pot (It's illegal here) through the clearnet using their bank account. And when I criticize any behaivour revolving around pot from either they get really upset at me and act like I've personally insulted them. They're both for sure addicted in some capacity.

You know what really grinds my gears? The transitive motion of the other gears next to them.

I’m a factory worker and this probably has to do with why it’s not a good idea for women to work in factories.

Imagine someone seething for months, maybe YEARS because you nodded back when they said “hi” instead of stopping to waste time on the clock. Un fucking fathomable

 

[McMitch]

My three-month-old glasses fucking broke, and the niggers that program the fucking javascript for the fucking warranty site can't make it work, so now I get to attempt to convince the goddamned customer support email robot to let me claim my warranty via email rather than their piece of shit broken website. With the money I spent on these fucking things, I could have bought enough pairs of glasses from Zenni (provided each had the lifespan of my previous pair bought from Zenni) to literally double my fucking age. Jesus Christ this shit is so goddamn simple why does it have to be like this?

Edit: I’ve tried to complete three separate errands through websites today. None of them work. I fucking hate the modern web.

Fucking vending machine got the chocolate stuck, so now I'm just down some change with nothing to show for it.

Yeah I can't fucking stand people who want to schmooze when I actually have things to do.

If you're a gambling man sometimes buying another of the same will knock the first loose and give you the other one too.

People who can't stop talking. Everyone has met at least one of these retards. They come into your space and they talk at you, not with you. They rarely say anything interesting and the few times they do and you try to respond like a normal conversation, they just wait for you to finish and continue excreting their verbal diarrhea.

Ever see them when requested/forced to shut up? They can't do it! They start acting like a addict that needs a fix. It's seriously a mental illness. I had to work with this fat fuck once that had this problem and I told him one day, "Dude, no offense but I just don't want to talk today. I just want to get shit done and think." He said ok and was quiet for about 10 seconds then started talking again, now interjecting occasionally how he was aware I didn't want to talk.

Fuck these slow-in-the-mind faggots.

on iphone: go into settings , bluetooth, select the I next to the one that is your car stereo, and change device type to car stereo. Holy fuck I wanted to kill someone after about 3 months of that shit happening until I finally figured it out, and I am in fucking tech.

Sadly android (or whatever skin my phone has) does not have this option. I'm sick of companies and governments treating me like I'm a fucking baby that doesn't know how to take care of myself.

People who burn rubbish in their wood-fire stove so disgusting, acrid, stinking smoke billows out of their chimney onto my laundry on the one day we've had enough sunshine to dry clothes in the last six months.

My gears are a little ground by youtuber Mike Zeroh.

His videos are hyper incremental, 95% of the content in each is complete rehash from a prior video, and he’s either extremely dyslexic or retarded.

The main reason I’ve watched more than one of his videos is just how spectacularly he fucks up while trying to relay common idioms.

Fucking vending machine got the chocolate stuck, so now I'm just down some change with nothing to show for it.

We got vending machines to buy tickets, or God forbid monthly passes, for public transportation and people look at me weird when I tell them I'd rather go to up to a cashier and buy them instead of gambling with the machine.

 

[maguyver16]

Repulsive shit and repulsive fucks who make me not want to go places when I really want to go places piss me off. I really don't want to be a hermit, but it's often better than the alternative at this rate.

I've had to tell multiple employees at my job to wear deodorant. I thought that was just something people were expected to do, like dude, I can smell you from across the room.

A goth girl who doesn't play into bullshit office politics? Sounds like my kinda gal!

CAPTCHAs.

I recently had to archive some things, and this specific kind of captcha (The one where it divides a single image into multiple squares) makes me see red:



Like WTF does this square count as a traffic light? It's connected to it.
