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

[anustart76]

The fact that Spooktober is already more than halfway over is a bummer. Full as it's been, it always just feels like we've just scratched the surface. So many movies and specials to watch, so many pumpkin foods to cook, so many candies to make, so many DIY projects, so many events. I love it all and I hate for it to end.

I do hope that you all have been having fun that will only get better as All Hallow's Eve draws closer. It's the best time of year to have fun and I don't want people missing out. Keep is spooky, Kiwis.

Speaking of this, while I don't like this time of year much (I prefer the summer months), I hate the months of January and February the most. Sure, October-December the weather gets darker and shittier, but at least you have the spirit of the various holidays going on to cheer you up a bit: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. But as soon as New Years is over you have over 2 months of freezing darkness and no holiday cheer to even make it feel better. You just have to drag yourself through those months with nothing to feel happy about.

Paul Allen. I hate that snarky little faggot so much it's unreal.

So chop him up with an axe and taunt him about that Dorsia reservation.

My general rule of thumb is I only say quarter past/to, and half past when it's within 1-2 minutes at max. Otherwise I'll just say 35 or 40.

When people say forty-past three, instead of twenty-to four. It doesn't grind my gears, but I chuckle inside while shaking my internal head at their absolute stupidity.

What does grind my gears is 19:00pm and 07:00am. 19:00 and 07:00 are correct, I'll let 7:00am and 7:00pm slide for the fucking midwits who don't know adult time, but 19:00pm? really nigga? you that dumb?

I have to admit to being a bit loosey-goosey with the time naming at points. Nothing wrong with a "ten to half past" every now and then.

Whenever work tries to make a new way of doing something, but it's a way you've done something in the past that also failed just renamed.

To add to this, when you can tell the new way was made by someone who has never done the job.

May be carrier related.

I hate having to buy clothes online. Chances are they won't fit or they send you the wrong thing.

Could be. It happens at random so I really have no clue.

Didn’t piss me off, but saddened me. Wanted to work on my Beetle when I got home from work, but I was hungry. By the time I got done cooking a small dinner for myself and ate it, it was dark outside

The general state of phone etiquette in public in other words people as dumb as niggers who do the following:
use a wired headset with a mic who PUT THE MIC IN THEIR MOUTH nigga it's a directional mic it can year you just fucking fine a little under your chin you don't need to swallow the fucking thing.
talking into the phones mic like you're some fucking sergeant from a war movie calling in an airstrike only to turn the phone around to hear the other person and finally and this is almost always pavement apes that do this:
using voicechat and not actually looking at the person, I've lot count how many times I'd see some ape with their phone aimed downward and the screen has someone on it staring off into nowhere you're not looking at eachother so why is video chat necessary?

 

[Namekian George Floyd]

Niggers.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

About scam calls - do you answer your phone by saying yes? If you do - you are the dumbest nigger on this earth. Start saying Allo or be like Homer Simpson. It reduces number of scam calls drastically

I usually say Hello. And if I get a robo-voice asking "Are you there?" I'll ususally reply back with something non sequitur like, "Are you a trash can?" or "What day is today?" to see if it's a human or a robot. In all the time I've done that, only twice was there a surprised live person on the other end.

I don't care what time they pick as along as they pick ONE. But they can't even do that.

I"d be happy if they compromised and permanently set the time halfway in between standard and daylight time, but even that makes too much sense for the government to consider.

Bugs. I FUCKING HATE BUGS. The small ones are a nuisance, more a cause of ravenous hatred than anything, usually not too hard to kill, but the big ones are truly demonic. They appear suddenly at night when they're at their most terrifying, they move with terrifying speed as soon as you get close, and they disappear, leaving you with sense of dread and anxiety, almost hoping it'll appear again so you can kill it somehow, yet terrified of seeing it again.

Bugs are tiny demons and must be exterminated from this earth.

I got a LG TV that came with a fancy remote that has that stupid "Ok Google" voice recognition feature. I never use it because i refuse talking to electrical appliances out of pure principle. This feature is always on and drains batteries like a motherfucker, less than two days for two AA's. I have to remove the batteries every time i am done watching something. There is no way at all to turn off that shit or i am too stupid to figure it out.

I remember the first time I saw a house centipede. I managed to stomp it, and the crunch it produced nearly made me lose my dinner. From then on, I resolved to never use my foot to kill them. Just spray them with Clorox bathroom cleaner or something, suffocate the bastards.

I live in peak foliage tourism land. It’s beautiful, but some asshole told the fucking Chinese about it.

Not a problem if you just eat them. Get with the times

No-one. That's why they're the only ones still there. Also lol fat.

Shit, i didn't even think that far.

Also lol fat.

Uncalled for. I was looking for 34W/32L, the most average of sizes down here.

I'm just playing lol. Sizes are all nonsense anyway. I've got 32" pants where just doing up the flies are a struggle, but other 32" pairs just hang off me. You would think that men's clothes being sold in literal units of length would make them free from vanity sizing, but I guess consumers are that retarded.

I got two jeans from the same manufacturer, same model, same size, just different colours and one fits, one doesn't. THAT grinds my gears like a motherfucker. And i noticed that vanity sizing definitly is a thing in men's wear now the last time i bought hoodies and sweatshirts.
