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

I try and be subtle when people fuck up. Me: "Hey you may want to check X, it doesn't look right."

Idiot: "What do you mean doesn't look right."

Fine. Me: "You fucked it up and set that thing wrong, have you considered a job where accuracy doesn't matter, like being a podcaster?"(What I'd like to say)

That is what I loved the very most about my job and miss more than any other aspect of it. Everyone there just said exactly what they were thinking, at all times, and you just had to fuckin deal with it. There was no bullshit EEO, fear of getting accused of harassment or lewd behavior towards the females if you flirted with them a little bit, never any complaints about cussing anyone out, no Corporate Sedation or any other kind of soyfuckery going on in there. It was just humans being black-and-white primal animals and it was glorious with a capital G. That unit ran like a well-oiled machine, too. No time was wasted whatsoever on niceties or political correctness and our productivity and effectiveness flourished. shitty employees smartened up quick and got with the program, fixed their shit or got their asses somewhere else. Most of all, it was fun.

I could never exist in an environment where I had to censor myself or pretend I wasn't talking to a complete idiot if I was. I'd speak my mind and then probably get fired and have to go back where I belong.
 
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.
lmfao salad boy
 
"Safe edgy" humor like this bugs me more than it should. It doesn't come off as "funny," it comes off as hypocritical and condescending.

Let's take the trans backlash from GTA V as an example. One random YouTuber uploads a video about murdering trans NPCs, that whole community goes ape shit. So, they're fine with mindless violence and recklessness, as LONG as you don't target THEM specifically.
Same goes for the "safe horny" thing where you get burly men for women (who don't play games) to look at but then mannish women.
 
Yeah. it really is just a pure, crystalline hatred of straight white men isn't it, what a shame. But we shan't whine and pout about it like the fruits and niggers do when they screech about oppression. rather, we shall make the following simple yet unambiguous statement for the Official Record: "fuck you"
 
People who get pissy that you aren't "helping". There's nothing to do until you're done, so unless you want to get out of my way and have me do it I can't do anything.
On a related note, people who try to "help" and just make the process take five times as long because I constantly have to move them.

I personally find this challenging around female relatives during gatherings and meals.

I find they seem to form this collective borg-like entity without much active communication to fuss about and bump into each other to prep meals, cook, clear tables, do dishes, etc.

I feel bad sometimes and get flak for not "helping", but the whole process is just a nightmare for me personally to be part of: in cramped spaces without defined roles with too many cooks in the kitchen trying to out "nice" each other.
 
I don’t have a problem with sneakers, but steel toes never last me more than a year. I’ve tried all different kinds.
I guess it depends on where you’re working. I had a factory job once where the steel walkway I was crossing above the furnace started actually melting my shoes. I was so pissed that I ended up leaving for the day.
 
Black people are always on the phone and always talking really loud like they want everyone within 30ft to hear their stupid conversations about how "I tol heem! But he ain't wanna listen!" and other obnoxious embonics-laden vomit. Half the time, they reek of weed.

Every single phone conversation is either about what they're shopping for or how they were talking to "Deshawn" or whomever about shaping up his life. "I tol heem dats jus da wey it eez!" Older black people, but black women in particular, seem to have this incessant need to turn every conversation into some kind of teaching moment. If they're face-timing, the other person they're talking with is almost always some potato-faced person peering down from some vacant-looking room with a rotating ceiling fan. It's uncanny.

And if they're in line buying groceries or something, they don't stop their conversation even when they get to the register and have to pay for their stuff. They just continue on like they're the only person in the world and the conversation they're having is the most important thing anyone will ever hear in their fucking lives. At the very least, they'll offer an, "I'm sorry, I'm on the phone." Well, fuck, as if that already wasn't obvious, Sherlock. But they just continue to jibber jabber. What the fuck is an apology, even, am I right?

And it's always black people who do this. Always.

People in positions where they have to do public speaking who have no idea how microphones work.

Like, it's part of your job as a VP over this particular division is to get the institution's supporters hyped for the what your division is doing. I get that you're a manlet and the microphone is a bit high for you, but it's on a springy stand; adjust it, don't shove it off to the side screwing things up for everyone who comes after you.

I swear next time I'm just putting a omnidirectional boundary mic on the podium, and the crowd can deal with all the paper shuffling sounds instead.

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
A 1000% yes. Happened just last week, roommate asked how long and how hot he should cook a pork chop and I went to look it up, and EVERY FUCKING ARTICLE was "So you want to make the perfect porkchop? Well, way back when I was a poor child in rural Arkansas, my mother blah blah blah blah blah." Then after 10 paragraphs of this BS, "Anyway, you want to get the core to 155F for at least 20 seconds."
 
Could have just left it there
Here's funny example of the kind of behavior you see very regularly from black women, especially older black women:
This woman's little meltdown here was also featured on MATI. Notice how long it takes her to actually apologize.

I think what this goes to show is just how difficult it is for black women to actually apologize and admit they made a mistake. Now, of course, we know she actually didn't make a mistake here because the dude still looks like a dude. But even so, she thinks she has to make things right but she covers her apology under all this other verbal baggage that means absolutely nothing.

All this is to say, black women do this regularly. Whether it is day-to-day, in the privacy of their own homes, to their husbands, their kids, their boyfriends, etc. They have this contemptible, "You dare accuse me of wrongdoing?!" attitude which gets ramped up to 11 if they are ever caught.

There isn't a doubt in my mind, that is why she achieved her position. It was people constantly afraid of treading on eggshells.
 
When people post infohazards because they think it's funny until
a mother fucker gets a lightbulb stuck in their mouth and ripped the shit outta their FPL tendon while their house is burning down because they tried to make naptha in their microwave.
I always considered the homegrown crystal posters as the boatmen that deliver weak minds to the afterlife.
 
Is it just me, but is anyone else experiencing a lot more off tastes and smells in their food lately?

Pissing me off how low quality most food is these days, even if it's my fault for eating out too much.
Nowadays, not as many black people drink Hennessey as they used to and I suspect it is because the quality has gone down.

Now, other factors could be old age leading to our taste buds losing sensitivity over time. Another factor could be the vax. One dude told me he stopped drinking Hennessey after he got vaxxed because it didn't taste the same.

What's funny about this is Hennessey is super expensive and it didn't used to be. It used to be bottom shelf garbage but now it is top shelf status signal garbage. But now, since more and more people seem to be counting calories, grams of sugar, and carbs, the alcoholics are starting to drink more Luna Azul, Tito's, Teremana, Grey Goose, Belvedere, etc.

I know a guy who spends about 7k a year on Ciroc vodka just because it doesn't leave him with a hangover the next morning.

The sports drink scene is also full of variants of the same basic "natural" flavors. "Natural" as in they are derived from natural sources, but not always sourced from what flavor they are trying to imitate. In other words "vanilla flavor" doesn't always come from vanilla.

I've also seen a lot of products lately branded with "Zero Sugar" as opposed to "No Sugar" or "No Sugar Added." What this means is the product is flavored with Sucralose (more commonly known as Splenda). Technically-speaking. Sucralose is sugar, but since it isn't natural sugar, manufacturers are not required to list it as sugar or tell you what amounts they have added in order to sweeten their products.
