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

[Stan]

Other people's trash in my lawn.

I mean that is a cliche problem and it beats almost stepping on a shit pie diaper in the parking lot, but holy fuck, the same people who do this are also the kind of people who act passive aggressive over little things that nobody of sound mind or averagely-eventful life would remember or had kept in mind.

I also hate it when the hourlies leave cigarette butts in my driveway.

 

[internet friend]

Very mild powerlevel: I've never worked a job dealing with the general public before. I've always either dealt with clients one on one, or worked in the back end of thing. I have recently picked up a temporary side-job that involves dealing with the general public and my god they are fucking stupid. The amount of times I've had people ask "where is the exit?" for a room with only one door is staggering.

I dislike it when disabled people act like entitled antisocial shitheads and then go "oh I'm sorry is my disability inconveniencing you?"

Yes very much so, God fucking you up doesn't mean you get to shit up society and act like a prick.

I hate that attitude because 99% of the time, they'd be put to death or left to rot in most of the rest of the world.

The fucking shit-ass retarded drivers on the road. Half of them probably don't have insurance while they go out of their way to nearly sideswipe everyone so they can get to work 29 minutes late as opposed to 30 minutes late, the other half don't own the car and either stole it or leased it.
Every single one of them is on their phone, I'm surprised I still have mirrors on my car.

 

[Sergeant Major Buzzkill]

Seeing trash or junk on the floor. Not sure if I'm squeamish or anything, but stuff that is clearly out of place fucks with me and I gotta put them in their right place before I do anything.

 

[AnOminous]

Are doctors nazis too for talking about and treating degenerative meniscus tears? Are psychologists nazis for talking about the severe stage of ludomania as degenerate gambling?

Are physicists Nazis for talking about "degenerate matter?"

Also, when there's a two for one deal and you have to buy two and the cocksuckers only have one of the goddamn item on the shelf. FUCK YOU. Recently had a shopping experience where every single one of the three items I would have found worth buying at the discount price had only one on the shelf.

Thread tax: I hate randomly waking up in the middle of the night.

I'm pretty used to that.

Alternatively people's taste buds just change. Apparently that happens just naturally as you get older.

Cilantro actually still has the "tastes like soap" taste it had to me as a kid, but I actually grew to like it, as I grew to like bitterness and other intense tastes some find unpleasant. According to faggots this makes me a sociopath somehow, no, they really have "studies" that "prove" this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26431683/

So if you like dark chocolate, you're Hannibal Lecter.

Fuck you assholes! De gustibus non disputandum est motherfuckers!

The one I absolutely still loathe is cranberries. God I fucking hate those things.

Do cyclists deliberately go out of their way to be annoying faggots, or am I just unlucky?

One example out of many is this morning. 5:00 am, still dark out. I decide to take a ten minute walk to the corner store to grab some cigarettes and something to drink. Nice walk, enjoying the quiet and the early morning air when right the fuck outta nowhere this retard on a Huffy comes zooming down the sidewalk (these dickweeds can’t ever seem to use the perfectly acceptable bike lanes!) dressed all in black, no reflective gear or bike light, didn’t even shout “coming through” just barreled down the sidewalk in the dark almost running into me. This is not an out of the ordinary experience. These failed coat hanger abortions will zoom out into the middle of the road as well without waiting for cars to give them a pass, then flip them off and start chimping because the owner of the car honked at them.

I hate cyclists. Almost every single one looks like the soyjack meme as well.

 

[Lone Wandering Courier]

The worst part about cyclists is their tendencies to be a hair away from running over pedestrians even when they have plenty of room to navigate around.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

When I'm using a unisex bathroom with a locking door, and someone jiggles the handle, sees it's clearly locked, and still knocks anyway. God people are fucking stupid.

You're not unlucky. They are a caste of insufferable faggot assholes. I remember a GoPro video one of them made where he went down a bike lane in NYC and flipped off anyone who happened to be too close. Gas them all.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I bought a bike last year strictly for exercise and just being outside. Unfortunately, the area around me is fairly scenic and the influx of Illinois refugees has caused some insufferable bikers to start hitting up the roads around my house.

I must have been flagged down at least 10 times last summer by bike yuppies who wanted to inform me that I was doing it wrong because I didn't have 500+ dollars worth of bike clothing on or that my helmet was some knockoff brand so it wouldn't really protect me or other junk like that.

I tell them they're more than welcome to join if they want ensuring I'm making eye contact with them the entire time.

I bought the Atomic Heart Soundtrack cause I wanted the Nora Themes but the version they have is a mashup of all of them but it's missing a guitar section that the in-game version has (0:38 if timestamp doesn't work) and it's infuriating cause I imagine that section every time I listen to it and I get mad that it's not there.

The other night my lady and I sat down for a meal. Sitting next us to us was some black woman, alone. She sat and talked on her phone the whole time, not just for five minutes, but during the entire duration of our meal, from the minute we sat up until we left. If either of us would have complained we would have been seen as the problem.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

It is almost spring and yet it's freezing out. Cooped up like it's January. I think this winter has been even worse than last winter.

This season really is the worst season.

Working with the public made me truly realize people are fucking retarded. Trying to get free shit, vandalizing property, and starting fights. My hometown is fucking retarded.

Seeing trash on the ground at a public park. People are disrespectful.

As an eurofag I have a question for any american cunt willing to answer.
How do you even watch sports? It's almost all advertising. Even the commentators are like " ... as you can see on the scoreboard presented to you by nissan." Nigger I can see that the nissan logo is at the bottom there why the fuck do you have to mention it every time. Everything is sponsored and has a fucking branding on it.
I like baseball and football more than soccer. But that shit is unwatchable.
I hate this.

We hate it too. It's been a bitching point for many years that you'll get 10 minutes of commercial for 5 minutes of show on TV nowadays, not just for sports, but for anything on the air. Even for local news channels, they'll run a big "THIS BROADCAST IS SPONSORED BY NIGS-R-US OF NOWHERE CITY!" commercial break every few minutes, sometimes back to back, before getting back to the shit you actually want to watch.

One thing that's been grinding my gears lately - a children's show on BBC called "Vida the Vet".

On the surface it's a completely inoffensive cartoon about a little girl who goes through a little door at the end of her garden every day and emerges in the magical land of Sweetwood which has talking animals and where she's a vetinarian.

So what's bothering me? Well, Vida has two dads. Two mixed race dads. Of course.

But that's not what's bothering me. That's just the surface level. This goes deeper. What bothers me is that it makes me feel like a hypocrite.

What do I mean by that? Well, it's basically LGBTQIAP+++ done in the most tasteful, non-intrusive way possible. You usually only see one of the two dads at the very start or end of each episode, so watch any given episode in isolation and you probably wouldn't even notice. I have seen episodes where they both briefly appear together but these are rare, and they don't do any gay shit. She just calls one of them dad and the other papa.

So to (finally) get to the point I'm trying to make, this makes me feel like a hypocrite because I used to, and largely still do, consider myself a live-and-let-live liberal. A 90s liberal. Yeah, we can all get along, just leave other people alone.

So if you had asked me back in the day what "good" gay representation on telly looks like, I might have said something like this. It's not "in your face", it doesn't affect the story, it's not preachy, etc.

What makes me feel like a hypocrite is that I feel like I got what I asked for, and - if I'm honest with myself - I still find it it utterly, utterly repulsive. Instead of this being "how to do it well", I'm actually disgusted that this type of thing is essentially being snuck into a TV show aimed squarely at kids, in a way that is actually more difficult to even complain about than if it were more obnoxious.
