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

[anustart76]

I was thinking of this, myself

On-topic: Bosses who want you to do the impossible and get upset when you explain to them that you cannot reverse time.

When someone in a customer service or similar capacity tells me with their voice to Use The App, I go totally "Dennis Takes A Mental Health Day." The next doctor at his computer who tells me to download the app to check my prescription will have his hands full of me having a stroke before him. I've worked some real wagecuck customer service stuff before and even volunteered for it, and I think "Oh no what if someone asks a Stupid Question, that would decimate me baaawwwww" is a pathetic excuse. If I'm so stupid as to ask a stupid question, then you bet I'm so stupid that I'll be back to ask how the app works. If I've got you in conversation, just answer my damn question then and there.

I’m American and have yet to have that experience.

This one is oddly specific, but it seems to be an Americanism of sorts.

Why do Americans never mention, or even notice it seems, that A LOT of Russians are fucking hapas? Clearly they have been fucking the Chinks on the downlow, and no American ever seems to notice that a lot of them look a bit chinky.

It sort of grinds my gears, because I don't know if you yanks are being polite or you just never noticed.

I mean...most of Russia is in Asia so....

As a pure, red white and blue blooded American, I can guarantee you that I never once spent a single second considering the genealogy of any Russians. Now that you've pointed it out, I still care just as little.

A new restaurant opened up recently, and me and an old friend go there to try it out. It's alright, nothing special but not bad. The manager happens to be black, I didn't even notice this and my friend points it out.

My friend walks up to the dude, tells him how great the food was and to not let any of the townsfolk backwards ways discourage him.

I'm sitting there flabbergasted at this. Our town *was* a rural town like 15-20 years ago, but is pretty much been liberalized by a bunch of blue state refugees. Like it really hasn't been anywhere close to "redneck" in over 10 years. There was a fucking BLM demonstration in town back in 2020 FFS.

I'm like "What the fuck you do that for?" and he just kind of shrugs and can't really explain it other than "It felt like the right thing to do."

I don't know, it annoyed the fuck out of me. Like it's the first time I've had someone I personally know IRL come off as a soyjack.

Depends on the region of Russia. Far east has a lot of azns. European part has mostly slavs with bunch of middle eastern ex soviet republic immigrants.
As for things that grinds my gears - Linux's lack of gui in certain areas. Why should I type long ass lines for a fucking few milliseconds of work, that have a chance of not working, because there's a hidden dependency on something in that command and I have to spend time for looking where it is and how to add it in the fucking system?!?!?!!

If a friend did something like this I think I'd instantly grow a certain contempt for them in the way I would if a girlfriend brought up wanting try out polyamory or something.

That's kind of where I'm at.

It happened like a week ago, but it's been fucking gnawing at me.

If I was in that situation, I'd be MORE uncomfortable. I don't want your pity just because I'm Black. Now you'd assume I'm oppressed. Thanks.

I hate when people do that.

 

[Niggerphobe]

When minorities claim they are oppressed when I see like Black Lives Matter or gay stuff everywhere

 

[snort beg snort]

We live in a time where it's actually more racist to not treat people based on their race which is basically as backwards as it gets as far as racial issues in America goes. My teacher buddy was telling me about one of his racial sensitivity training meetings (id literally quit over this shit but I digress), the faculty were specifically told to treat their black and Hispanic students not as individuals but as black and Hispanic students.

In other words: coddle them because they have got it hard, they're oppressed, their animal behavior is due to decades of institutional and systemic racism etc and to be patient with their retardation as it's a direct product of the white man. How fucking racist is that shit? Progressive retards hate individualism. They are so hyper fixated on race that they themselves end up behaving more racist than the people they screech on Twitter about. And they don't even see that treating people on the basis of their racial background is the literal textbook definition of discrimination. They aren't fellow humans, they are oppressed minorities and we should treat them as such lol.

Also, anybody still looking at Reddit or Twitter should really stop doing that. It's just going to annoy you. You can't argue with those types especially since the mods and admins are so bent that even solid arguments and stating of objective facts can be enough to ban you. In 2021 I was banned from 20+ different sub reddits for following a COVID meme sub and was told that to be unbanned I needed to unfollow the page and apologize to the mods of the subs I was banned from (most of which were subs I didnt even follow) in order to post in those subs again. Yes that really happened. At one point reddit was literally targeting accounts that goofed on Dr. Fauci, under the guise that users on said accounts were spreading misinformation lmfao. I called someone a fag and nuked that account around that time and didn't look back. Fuck reddit and the people that use it.

What grinds my gears? Progressive faggots turning every major social media platform into a propaganda machine and then banning you when you laugh about it. It's fine tho I wasn't following r/natureismetal anyway homos.

Imagine literally walking up to a black dude and saying "Hi I'm one of the good ones!" He might as well have also just made a soyface and taken a selfie pointing at the guy.

None of that shit makes anyone's life even a tiny bit better. If anything it makes it worse, because not only is everyone annoyed by it but they assume somehow nobody is poor any more. After all, you see a bunch of empty-headed rah-rah virtue signaling all the time.

People at the movie theaters who want to carry on conversations while I want to hear the film and not them.

Adding to that, people who use their phones. It's particularly annoying because I like to sit in the back row and there's a twat or ten with their phones out. It's distracting and it's irritating so I tend to go to the movies at odd times to avoid retards doing exactly that.

BLM also seems to actively hurt people, using funeral money for dead kids to fund their mega mansions and god knows what else.

Not to mention the nigger hooligans burning down businesses and fucking over the common folk. I say we bring back the Rooftop Koreans when the madmen run lose again.

Spoiler: Long autisitc sperging about media and appreciation and consumption

Anyway as for my contribution; I will take the hats and puzzle pieces and the trashcans or whatever because it's incredibly autistic and petty.

But I kinda get annoyed with people who only get into media due to Netflix / TV adaptations or something. And because it's new and fresh despite being a piece of media with a lasting legacy.

People don't care about She-Ra for example but then the remake came out and everyone is suddenly fans but forget about the original or denounce it because Bow is white there or whatever.

Same happened to the Witcher. Now I can forgive the books since they were obscure Polish classics but then the games came out and the third game was beloved and all that but normies didn't really care. But then the Netflix show came out and I got a bunch of people acting like they love everything about the franchise - ignoring its origin.

I recommended the games or/and the books to someone who went on and on about how the Witcher changed their life but they flatout said "Nah, that's boring. Netflix made it easier for me to be a fan," or something to that effect.

Now, far be it from me to gatekeep. People can enjoy whatever they want (within legality) however they want and how much of it they want. I'm not going to dictate how people enjoy their leisure. I can only say my piece about it here and return to enjoy things in isolation.

I think it's just me being irrational. I can't even put it into words what about it that annoys me. The reliance on convenience. I guess it's that people act like they are the biggest fans of something but don't put in any time or effort to engage in it beyond what is absolutely the easiest - sitting on their asses and mindlessly watching, then moving on to the next big popular thing. Just endlessly consuming while acting like there's any depth to it.

And it's a shame because there are some great experiences they are missing out on or some piece of art and/or media that doesn't get any attention.

I had the same reaction when the American Oldboy came out and people acted like the original was obsolete.

 

[internet friend]

People that have nothing to say but want to be part of the conversation anyway.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

Nah, that's boring. Netflix made it easier for me to be a fan

Was that a woman? I get incredibly irate when I try discussing shit with another girl and turns out her "fan" identity is from gay fanfics based on most recent installments.

(The Witcher is a book I immediately lose respect of people for enjoying, so it is not one of them)
