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

[Nick Obre]

I have this thing where I find most women look good in hospital scrubs, something about their structure is very complimentary to even not great figures, at least in my opinion. I don't have a nurse fetish or anything, it's just an aesthetic observation, however subjective.

But I find myself very concerned when I see women in scrubs walking around the street or at the supermarket or anywhere that's not inside a hospital. I know they're probably just dentist assistants or things like that, not people who are about to go into an operating room, but still. That shit is supposed to stay clean, bish, the fuck you're doing wearing it out in the open.

My work email logs me out every day and I have to have a code texted to my phone to log back in

Our work e-mail recently changed. The webmail version was more convenient and better to use IMO, but after 14 days, anyone wanting to use the web interface had to download a two factor authentication app to their phone. No thanks.

I don't care if it's been mentioned before, it deserves infinite mentions: flying/the airport/the TSA.

There's not enough checkmarks to agree here . One of the last times I flew anywhere, I had an early morning flight in a relatively small airport. Because I was the only person in line at the security checkpoint, the screener decided to run my luggage through the x-ray machine 3-4 times for no other reason than he could because nobody else was in line and he know I couldn't complain about it.

Airport-related Thread tax: Airports where the gates between connecting flights are on extreme opposite ends of the airport, requiring a long walk and no margin for error in terms of boarding on time.

I haven't gone to my local library in years because it has the same problem. If you dare question it, then you're an evil heartless Nazi.

Same here. I have no need to go to the library unless they have an item not available elsewhere. The homeless clientele who frequent it also make a visit less desirable.

Real. I mentioned this in another thread but I can't remember the last time I've seen a homeless white or black man begging on the street.

Just the other day, I saw some black guy begging for money at a major intersection. It appeared he was doing tricks with a baton to get people to give him money while their light was red. I'm trying to figure out how he powers his electrical equipment if he's destitute, but what do I know?

I had a couple flights at a similar airport where I triggered the "Random Search" alarm. Which I'm guessing was because it has to be done every 30 minutes or so and I was the first passenger in 30 minutes. Mostly because I have to drive a long-ass-way and thus want to get there early in case something goes wrong. On the other hand TSA Precheck usually makes the smaller airports almost as nice as it was before 9/11.

Mostly because even nurses wear them so when they go shopping after work or out to lunch they are still wearing them. My mom had the white dress for a few years in the 90s. Then the white pants outfit. But they switched to scrubs. It's supposed to be cleaner and easier. Most of these healthcare workers have a lot of scrubs and can change into spares from their locker if they have to. Like you wouldn't wear OR scrubs to McD's on your lunch hour.

The femcels here. They make it so obvious they're femcels.

When you go through the effort of deep cleaning a place for family/guests, only to have them mess it up within the visit. Bonus points if they don't help.

Oh, and when you go over THEIR place, you're expected to contribute.

Start doing the same?

I always offer to take garbage out when leaving, but I ask for that off my guests, as well.

Help by putting things away or something like that? Sure.

Try to start washing dishes in my house and I will punch you.

Why did they change real cats for almost exclusively CGI animated ones in cat food commercials? Not to mention it's this uncanny 90's shit-tier CGI, it's very off-putting. I realize it's most likely for cost-saving reasons regarding shooting the commercial, but nigga, you sell cat food, apply yourself.

My fucking whiny coworkers.

E-Commerce sites that take vacations.
So what if I'm just going to buy it and shove it in a drawer for between 1 month and 10 years, I want to order NOW.

Most of my online time is spent on learning how to make or fix things. It's fucking unbearable that every piece of information comes with a personal story. You can't just tell me how you cooked that thing or fixed that piece of furniture, no, you have to first enlighten me about your fucking childhood or what you dreamt about last July, or just point blank plaster your face next to a painting you made, as if I cared. Imagine if school textbooks would be like that - 'in this chapter, we will learn all about mitochondria, but first, here's a picture of my children taken during our vacation in Tuscany last year. We had a splendid time, but before I share with you what we did every day, I should tell you that my parents were narcissists and it left me with a big trauma. I realised that years later, when I moved out, and I met my new neighbours during a homewarming party an SHUT THE FUCK UP

When people argue against a piece of media with the claim that it isn't perfect like it's some sort of gotcha. Like no shit, no piece of work is perfect. Even my very favorite pieces of media in the whole world aren't ones I'd ever consider perfect since everything has at least one flaw.

"Shrinkflation" seems to be accelerating recently. Current Year sucks.

Another thing I miss about the '00s is less "shrinkflation" then.

"Why Everything Sucks 2" - All Time

tl;dw: prices stay the same or increase while quality and/or quantity subtly decreases

People that see you do one thing once, and jump to the conclusion that that's your defining personality trait. The kind that keep bringing it up like it's some epic in joke when it clearly wasn't. For example if you order a Caesar salad once, they'll be bringing it up like it's some amazingly witty reference.

My mom does that if I fumle anything (can not do shit right when she is watching).

What I really hate is if you're known for liking something (usually food or drink) so then you're questioned for eternity by someone if you elect not to have it even if you will have it 95% of the time. This is also even worse if it's involving something homemade (even if it's super basic.)

For instance if you like pizza, and are usually more than happy to have it if it's offered to you or brought up as a suggestion to have later: from here until the end of days if you say that you're not in the mood for it you get hit with "But I thought you like pizza" even if, as I said earlier, 95% of the time you'll be happy to have it. I do like pizza. You know that I like pizza. Me not wanting pizza every time that it's offered is not indicative of me declaring Total Pizza Death.

Oh fuck that reminded me of growing up. If I ever made the mistake of mentioning that I liked a certain type of food or snack in front of my mother, it was a guarantee that item would be in my lunchbox or after school snack for at least 2 months. I used to like corn on the cob, until I was forced to eat it when I was really sick because "I cooked this for you and you like it".
