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

I had to deal with both ends working Strip Club and Gas Station janitor shifts. Somehow fast food wasn’t so bad after that.
I did the gas station/convenience store thing too and weirdly, the bathrooms were immaculate. I rarely had to do anything with them. Of course, they were actually inside the store and it was a small town where the clientele was mostly regulars, i.e. if they shit up the place, you could give them the stinkeye the next time they came in.

In both cases it was in the city so I had to clean shit stains on walls, needles on the ground, and a fetus that one time. Very horrific stuff, and honestly solidified my beliefs on homeless retards.

The worst I ever saw was a bloody tampon dried and stuck to the mirror. And piles of shit on the floor a couple times, but that's almost to be expected. Why the fuck would someone do either of those things? Whatever.

I’ve just been around fucked up things for far too long and I’m trying to move on from it all. People grind my gears more than anything.
 
I had a job long ago that involved cleaning restrooms and frankly, women are filthy animals.
I used to work at a family restaurant. One busy night, we got a complaint that the women's restroom needed attention, so we sent one of our dishwashers in to deal with it. I don't know what kind of Lovecraftian horrors he witnessed in there, but he came back pale and sweating and told us that if we ever made him do that again, he would quit on the spot.

It annoys me how hard it's gotten to find 100% cotton pants. Places like Levi's advertise their "classic" jeans, which are 90% cotton and 10% shit like elastane, polyester, and sucralose. I might have made one of those up. You know, elastane jeans, just like your great-grandpappy used to wear. "Classic" my ass. The synthetic fibers are only there to make the jeans cheaper, but they also make them breathe less, wrinkle more, and wear out faster. Sometimes I think I'm numb to how shitty every single thing has become, but then I have to spend an hour trying to find a pair of pants made from actual cotton, and I realize my brain is only allowing me to see the tip of the shit iceberg.
 
You ever catch a whiff of something tasty in public and try to narrow down and find the source. Instead you can't find it and wonder where it's from in a timeframe of an hour to a month. I do that sometimes.
I feel that way about songs sometimes. Apps like Shazam helps but Shazam occasionally acts retarded and can’t recognize anything. Sometimes I’ll remember a song and it ends up being a mashup of other songs that I remember and my galaxy brain just reconfigured it.
Friends just ending said friendship over text. Can't talk to them, see their face, anything. It feels like shit.
You’re in your 20s, you’re going to lose a lot of friends this stage in your life. Most will just drift apart. Sometimes they come back in your 30s, most times not.

I’m tired of that shit in general. Making things with cheaper fabric/materials and sloppier QA/QC processes. You rarely get the option to even buy the original stuff, even at a premium. The concept of planned obsolescence has taken over because it’s more lucrative to have someone buy three pairs of jeans at $50 over a few years than one good pair at $75.

Yes but how do you aquire friends in your 20s? I have maybe two people ATM who I would consider a friend. Granted, I just removed myself from my last social circle a year ago, but do you just go to a bar and start talking to people?

Idk if they're 100% cotton, but I'm really satisfied with Duluth Trading Co.
 
I hate boy racers and their shitboxes fucking keeping me awake at 3am and being a general nuisance. I get the thrill of speed and have gone way too fast for my own good too many times, but really retard? You're going to do this in the middle of fucking town? With people and property that if you fuck up you're going to damage or potentially kill? Do that shit in the country or an abandoned racetrack. I shouldn't have to slam the brakes and swerve out of the way because you wanted to suddenly swing out of a side street and do a fucking burnout in the middle of the road.

Those "easy open" cans should be designed to also be openable with a can opener, just in case that pull tab thing breaks off.
Get yourself one of these: https://hamiltonbeach.com/smoothtouch-can-opener-76606za
It cuts around the lip of the can instead, so you don't have to worry about the can being designed for it

What really pisses me off: the awful rap/hip-hop that's popular today that has a bunch of pounding noises and the stupid niggers that insist on playing it bass-boosted ensuring you feel every obnoxious thump of their terrible fucking so-called "music"

When I lived in a big city, I'd sometimes almost get run over by people turning while I was trying to cross.

Once almost by 2 vehicles.

Thanks for info. When that top came off and that can was still sealed, I had to use a knife to pry it open. Sort of risky.

(and that "the ring came off my pudding can" bit from The Simpsons played in my head then even though it was canned beans)

Could be worse, could be a takeover
 
I know that's nothing special and basically everybody hates them, but oh God do I get pissed off every time I see cyclists and these other faggots strolling through the boulevards on their electric faggot scooters and one-wheelers.
>rides on the road like a car
>approaches red light
>leaves the road, proceeds through the sidewalk like a pedestrian
>goes through the crosswalk riding these things like half-car half-pedestrian
>returns on the road
And they just ride these faggot things around without a care in the world and it pisses me off so much it's unreal. Roundabouts? Sure. Drives right in with no blinkers keeping you at the edge of your seat. Ever since these electric scooters and one-wheel faggot vehicles went mainstream I see them every single day on the roads.
Damn I wanna drive them over and drag them through the city. Hate them so fucking much it's unreal. Even thinking about them pisses me the fuck off. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, I go to a bar and play pool and people usually buy me shots. So I'd say it's pretty darn easy.

A stupid small thing, but people holding the door open and making you rush when it has an opening button right next to it. Could've just pressed that instead...
Then it goes from just 'innocent stupidity' to 'dickhead' when they make a show of it. Then it escalates to 'creepy and mildly threatening' when they stare or say some shit like "how you doin'?". I cannot fucking stand those guys.

Thanks and praises to the decent people who simply hold the door open for a couple seconds out of genuine politeness.
