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

[The Last Stand]

I imagine there are some parents out there that want to double down on child support AND ask that parent for more assistance. Of course, the child suffers with the lack of two parents.

Child support is often abused as a court sanctioned payday at the child's expense because the mother and father could not get along. It's commonly the FATHER that has to pay child support. How fair is that?

Found out a former mentor is now a Current Year libtard.

Which makes sense in hindsight, but is nevertheless disappointing.

People who call Staffordshire Bull Terriers "Pitties". They are NOT the same as those mostly bred to partake in scum fights. Pitbulls do have the DNA of Staffies in 'em, but, by this point, it might as well be collateral, like anyone with French, German, and, for lack of better classification, Northern English/Scottish/Irish (and so on) background, being related through Charlemagne's, William the Conqueror's relatives, and or, Charles II's bastard kids as a comparison.

My stepdad has a Staffy, and sometimes I worry he'll be taken away, if he's officially put in the same category as Pitbulls, if the Bully Ban Law goes through (if it hasn't already - I avoid the news like the plague, unless it's something of interest/informative).

@The Last Stand It's a stereotype I'm bringing up here, but yeah, that's how crazy cunt (or just plain emotionally abusive) mums win custody battles. As soon as they exaggerate, or flat out lie about how much of an ogre their ex was, a majority of the time, they'll reap sympathy, and be believed.

I've mentioned it in a previous post, but I work for a silicon valley SaaS company which attracts the biggest retards you could imagine. So seeing fucking brain dead morons with "Queers for Palestine" as a sign in the background of their Zoom call drives me up the wall. I don't care what side you're on, and it frankly doesn't matter, but that's like supporting "Chickens support Slaughter Houses". Has the whole world gone to shit in current year that people blindly support something without doing 7 seconds of research into what that group actually does? (I know the answer to that already, unfortunately)

Yeah, I'm imagining Palestinian blokes either laughing their arses off, or attempting to stone those morons to death, seeing as they're Muslim, and Muslims are known to be scarily homophobic in the majority. Probably even more so than most Eastern/Central Europeans/Eurasians, Chinks, EDL members, football (soccer) hooligans, Spics, Roman Catholics etc. However, Neo Nazis probably top them. Or are on about the same level of "I'm a fag, but my dad (unsuccessfully) beat the queerness out of me" that 99% of Muslim men are.

Even better, work should be as apolitical as possible. I don't want to know your beliefs; you're there to do a job. Of course, jobs have to make statements about [insert political cause here] for selfish reasons.

I just ordered stuff on-line from a semi-specialty shop that has local stores. There was no option for local pick-up, only delivery, fine, placed the order, accepted the shipping costs.

A couple days later I sent them an email "Hey, what's the expected ship date?"

They called me and said "Hey, how about we have you pick it up at the local store?" me: "That sounds good." them: "Ok, we'll cancel this and you can call the local store to order." me: "Fuck that, just ship it"

It's $CURRENT_YEAR, how does your system not have a "Pick-up at local store" button for either the customer or customer service to press.

Home Depot can go it, Wal*Mart can do it, but you specialty retailer/wholesaler fail to figure this out.

You've tangentially reminded me of this joke/sketch(?): https://youtu.be/KODc9vPve6Y?si=_LmxTD9SQzCAG2jR

Sorry it's HIV quality (there's a worse one in terms of recording quality: that's AIDS), it's just that the other clips involve the backend of another joke.

When I go to Chipotle and order my burrito double-wrapped, and the geniuses try to wrap it with both tortillas at the same time and make a mess, instead of wrapping it once and then wrapping it with the second tortilla so everything doesn't fall out.

Your discussion with 3D2A is reminding me of Kingdom of Heaven. What a great movie, even if at least a few things were bollocks (certain deaths, hookups, ineffectual leaders etc.). All this scarily advanced warfare in the Middle East makes me think that I prefer the Crusades, because it was blokes meeting on a battlefield, most of the time, or whatever, and even though cities were being invaded, it was less widespread, and almost no chance of everyone in the entire known world, duking it out, and fucking themselves up all at once.

Serves me right for having a burrito without eating over a plate. I damn near made a mess over a paper bag.

These days I've resigned myself to just putting the burrito in a plate and eating it with a fork and knife.

Aight, they support terrorism. All the kids people whine about being killed be Israel, they are future terrorists, and the logical thing is to take them out when they're easier to handle.

Muslims are known to be scarily homophobic in the majority

As a homo, I'm perfectly okay with libtards being taken out. The world is going to shit anyway, might as well see it as entertainment. I'm a NEET, so this isn't going to affect me.

What recently grinded my gears, is an animu series with two guys as dads. Like, holy fuck. That's just child abuse, now I know the whole shitfest with surrogacy and infringement on women's rights.

 

[Womble of Wimbledon]

Going to my manager with an issue with another worker, being told I have to manage it myself, telling him I am not comfortable with that because it will probably just cause conflict with the other worker, being told to deal with it myself anyway, approaching the other worker about the issue and they get pissed off and it turns into an argument in front of everyone. I knew this would happen!

Fuck management in general.

Two dads never ends well, especially not in formative years. You'd probably get less shit if you were, say, a teenage boy, raised by two lesbian mums.

Deliveries is one of fairly few thing that works pretty well where I live. Like half of all small grocery stores, gas stations and tobacco/corners shops also operate as postal service spots where you can send and receive letters and packages. Recently, there's even this system for small packages where there's a wall of little bank deposit-like boxes in or near such a business where you input a code you got with your delivery notification into a terminal, and one of them pops open revealing your package.

 

[Vingle]

On the topic of delivery.
The post courier in my country has in the past accepted to delete invoice when you show them invoice for paid VAT to the store you bought from.
This year, nah. They don't accept it and you have to get the VAT from the store you bought from. And for what? They are blaming it on that the seller didn't send the "electronic documentation".
The store I'm buying from is often ebay, and while they do mention that electronic documentation is a thing. I have yet to see an example of this, and if I as a customer don't know shit about it? How are sellers that barely are able to speak English going to know?

And it's not just me that's affected by this, according to recent reviews.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

It grinds my gears when a YouTube video claims to have 3 or so hours of music that can be played as background music while I work only for it to be 1, 1 and a half hours tops before repeating from the beginning again for the rest of the video time. Just be honest and say it's the shorter duration. If people like it enough they can repeat it or play it on a loop if they wish.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Sucks when one has to call a phone service about something that can't be solved with automated options, but one has to play "20 Questions" with a stupid bot that handles the automated options. A bot that always says BS like "I'm sorry, I didn't get that" or "I know you want to speak to a representative, but..." and other such BS like that.

And then if one does find the non-bot line (which can be hard to find), one may be on hold for a while, depending on the service.
