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

When you're on hold and you have to camp by the phone so you won't lose your spot. The moment you step away or don't pay attention, you suddenly get a person! Sometimes, they don't even give you an option for a call back. I step away for the bathroom for one second, now I have to call them back in a new queue. Bullshit.

This incident taught me to not only cycle as if drivers do not see you, they don't give a fuck if they do know you're there. It also taught me why people despise insurance companies. As much as that old cunt was, well, an old cunt that day, holy fuck do I hate the insurance company I dealt with for all that so much more.

When I'm on a bicycle, I assume drivers don't see you, they don't care about you, and worse, they're actively trying to kill you. I'm not even planning survival, I'm planning how I'm getting revenge on those motherfuckering murderers if I survive their murder attempts.

I'm already paying way too much for gas, and these faggots want to make me sit through ads while I'm held captive by the process. In some areas, every gas station does this, leaving no way of refusing to give them business.

In most gas stations that have ads at the pumps, the second button down on the right side of the screen is the mute button.

I've only been to one gas station where none of the buttons would mute the audio. I never went back there.

On the moment dump, but God... I *hate* when your plans get dashed off at the last minute because of whatever.

Off from work today, roommates are away, have the place to myself. Weather is cool and nice, i'm already picturing myself some warm chocolate and a blanket, then going to bed the rest of the morning after doing my early chores.

As soon as i'm done and get to sit down, i hear a motor slowing down right in front of the place. In walks one of my roommates. Car was malfunctioning, decided to call off for today, returned home.

"Why are you still in your pj's? You weren't planning on sleeping the day off, were you? There's still a lot to do around the house." 10 minutes later Taylor Swift is blasting around the living room and she is singing along.

Currently locked on my desk, sketching something to keep my mind off wanting to kick her out the window. I just wanted to sleep, for fuck's sake

I've accepted the fact that I don't know how to talk to people. Or that people try to bullshit you into self incrimination or being used because you dared tried to make a joke or ask a simple question. Or both, I don't know.

That is why I like to live by myself. Only person you have to worry about is you.

I hate people who don’t wear earbuds or headsets when on the phone, zoom call, etc in a public setting.

If you do this without any attempt to use earbuds or whatever, the end of your life will be celebrated. And since many of them are boomers, so hopefully soon.

If I ran auschwitz 2.0, these people would be the first to get a lifetime pass.

People turning left on a one-lane road. I know they have to do it, but it still pisses me off when someone wants to turn left and they're blocking a whole line of cars behind them.

I hate it when people are hard on themselves for having been younger. You often see this online where people talk about how STUPID they were as a DUMBASS KID who made DUMB choices and had STUPID dreams so they made OLD CONTENT which WASN'T GREAT.

Most of this comes from the content influencer sort who need content to feed the grift, so they dig up their aforementioned OLD CONTENT when they're between stuck-up video essays. There's also a mental aspect to this - the childlike society makes manchildren who have the childish urge to prove they aren't children. Soft weak humor is also popular right now and part of that is self-deprecation.

Humility is good, but if you did something truly dumb or cringe in your youth, it's best to keep quiet and forget it. But of course the web-addled lolcowish mind can't do this, it must blab everything to the world. And if you did something faintly dumb or cringe in your youth it should be framed positively, as a learning experience or good start.

Once again, I hate speaking on the phone and there's intrusive background noise. It's windy and you're calling and I can hear the wind howling to the point where I have to turn down my volume.

Especially when you're in charge of a group project.
