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

The fact that vacuum cleaners all use canisters now instead of bags. Those stupid canisters are nearly impossible to empty properly without getting the damn dust everywhere, and I end up using a plastic trash bag to dump the dirt into anyway. Bring back vacuum bags!
Try emptying it with the canister in the trash can or bag instead of above it. Works great for me

The problem is that the dust ends up getting wrapped tightly around the column in the middle of the canister, so I have to basically use the trash bag to grab the dust and pull it down into the bag.

Those canisters suck dick. Great, so I spent time vacuuming and now this piece of shit spews it all back into the air.
 
My fucking neighbors who have spent HOURS the last three days talking loudly and incessantly about the new plantings added to their outdoor space this week. OK, it's the wife. And I am very fucking sick about hearing her thoughts about every fucking plant. She has a very loud, deep, and nasally voice, and our houses' back spaces face each other, so when we are all outside (finally possible this week with decent weather) it's as close as we'll ever be - and it's not even close, about 200 feet and they're down a hill, so it's far enough you don't expect to hear each other much, but her voice cuts through the trees and distance like a damn foghorn - I can hear every.single.word.....and hearing 500 repeats of "I like the x there but is it too close to y and I want to maybe move z and the color scheme of ABC is great but I'm thinking it should be d) for HOURS is annoying me. And no, she's not talking to contractors. This is just husband and adult children, and she's forcing all of them us to hear her think-out-loud (LOUD) endless processing. And they're grilling out tonight so I will have no peace outside. I have no choice but to open windows and blast edm/dance. Enjoy your sea bass and steaks!

Yes I am also envious I do not have new plantings and need some very much.

...ugh I just went outside and found that *I* can't even hear my music on my own patio, much less annoy them, at the level I put it. Jesus, I hear their Yacht rock all the time. I guess I am far too civil to be a true nuisance even when I feel petty. May goal: be better at passive-aggressive rudeness.
 
Road rage: I just don't get the point. I understand if someone does something illegal or inconsiderate to you and you exclaim "look at this dickhead" or whatever, but surely it should end there. You just swear and get over it in about 3 seconds. How is it that people can get so abnormally heated for such long times over road issues. What kind of mental case must you be to want to get out of your car and start a fight, or deliberately hit someone just cos they cut you off?
 
Halloween Chicks

"Oh my god, I can't wait for spooky season, I am so there right now even though it's summer oh my god"

Shut uuuuuup
Ah, ha, ha, are you familiar with Heather Sparkles? She's the only cow I follow at lcf, and she is the worst "spooky girl." The most basic, standard woman, albeit a skinwalker of her various paramour, and her constant relationship woes boil(ed*) down to, "I'm guess I'm just too spooky and weird for love, ooh look at my creepy Halloween spider shirt I got at Target**."

* last I read she was finally ensconced in a capital-R relationship of the sort that 3 weeks in she was referring to him as "my husband," though it's gone 10x as long as her usual, so maybe he actually is now.

** not a joke; she worked there.
 
This is one part mad, one part sad.

I'll get over this, but I thought I finally met "Ms. Right." We have a lot in common. Enjoy each other's company. She seeks me out for conversation. I had given up on finding love, but thought that maybe I finally had my chance. This last week, I learned she's a lesbian. I don't hate her because of that, but it still makes me sad that I meet a rare woman who I can bond with, yet we can't take it further. So now I'm just back to not wasting my time with love again. (:_(
 
Remember, unless she's an ugly-ass bull dyke, if she says she a "lesbian", always put it in quotation marks. The average "lesbian" just needs the right dick and enough convincing.
I see. She's actually very cute, so who knows? I'd love to be wrong! I still have feelings for her too.

But when I think about it, I'll just respect her boundaries and move on. I get what you saying, but I also don't want to pursue something that wasn't meant to be.

It’s the NHL playoffs and I’d like to watch my home team. Why aren’t there any available streams that don’t require having a television provider?! I haven’t had television service in years.

Grumble.
Blacking out sportsball in local markets (thus forcing you to pay for services to watch the game) is a new low in Jewishness.

It has nothing to do with Jewishness. I live in a state that doesn’t have any professional sports teams so black-outs aren’t the issue. Try not to let your anti-semitism get in the way of rational thought.
