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

[The Last Stand]

When I'm on the phone and I can hear feedback on the other end. Rustling, mumbling, background noise, wind, typing. I HATE that shit.

Could stop right there in my case

People giving animals as gift.
Especially without first being absolutely certain the person wants it or can take care of it.

>Happy Birthday! Here's a life to be responsible and take care for, and you better want it because you gotta take it teehee

That's how we sadly end up with so many animal abuse /abandonment..

People who walk really slowly. In the Venn diagram of people you meet, this is almost always mutual to the people that walk three abreast on the sidewalk.

I refuse to pick up the phone for unknown numbers or private numbers. I just don't tolerate it in my life. Got me in trouble with my doctor since they changed numbers and couldn't get in contact with me lol.

Was cleaning a vinyl record and dropped something on it giving it a massive fucking scratch. One of those unfortunate times when the only person you can be pissed at is yourself.

I once got hold of an old-fashioned leather carry case for 78rpm records, the shellac ones. It had paper-like sleeves inside it, maybe a dozen or so. Of course, I tried to put my very carefully acquired 78rpm collection inside it.

I didn't realise that the bottoms of some of the sleeves had torn away/weakened. So when I closed the case, the records which had slipped literally got snapped in two due to the pressure from the case closing.

Hundreds in records destroyed in a second. I was so fucking mad at myself for not checking closer.

I felt that in my heart.

 

[internet friend]

When you're invited to some event that you don't really want to go to, then the organisers expect you to put in money/work for it. Fuck you, fuck your pot luck, fuck your dress codes and colour schemes. Fuck it all

I was at a BBQ with all of my friends and associates who have kids.

They were all complaining that *none* of their kids can tie their shoes. The youngest kid in the group is 6 and the oldest ones are 10.

These kids also have absolutely zero situational awareness. They would continuously run through when we were playing bags. One got hit by a bag 3 separate times because he couldn't figure out to stop running through the damn game. One of the kids burned themselves by sticking their hand into a bonfire as well.

Meanwhile, all of the women were bitching about some football player who gave some commencement speech about women being mothers and caretakers, and how it was the worst thing ever ever because the chuds just want some handmaids tale world where all they do is take care of their kids instead of "work". (I use the quotes, because they all work bullshit jobs that pay nothing yet somehow keep them away from their kids to the point that they are all damn near retarded)

Corporate "email everyone" mailing lists being retrievable by any schmuck at the company.

I got that "<employee> Birthday!" email sent around the whole company today because someone copied in the wrong mailing list. Followed by my notifications pinging off whilst every retard sent a "Can u plz remove me from this meeting" email for the next hour.

I debated heart vs horror react on this. This is beyond horrible, and I feel for you and empathize. If you cried, no judgment.

But you said this "once" happened, which I take means it was some time ago - so have you been able to replace any of them?

I'm sad for all thse kids that neither parent thought to teach them to tie their shoes or behave as though they weren't raised in a barn.

Lesson: don't marry or breed with an idiot, and if you do, don't also be an idiot.

Corpo anything is obnoxious and infuriating. I'd quit my job if I could, I fucking hate it.

Meeting and HR departments full of snakes taught me how to hate.

Edit: fun story about HR at my previous job:
We had a new manager in our department, said manager was to smart to go through the basics in our department and demanded the fast track so he can go sit in his office instead of being with us plebs on the shop floor. The thing he was supposed to do properly, he didn't do properly and violated a handful safety regulations which ended up in a huge corporate safety investigation. Every employee in our department had to sit down with HR and get interrogated like it's East Germany in 1984. Everyone was like "yeah man, he didn't want to go through the basics so he did it his way" but HR concluded that everyone in the department was at fault for not training properly, only the manger got off the hook, we all got a written warning. That's when I learned to embrace the hate.

When work says you have to clock out only when the supervisor gives the final call. If I'm at the end of my shift, I'm clocking out ASAP. Why do I have to wait longer?

My company's regulators require us to subscribe to receive "training" and "intelligence" emails that are completely irrelevant to the scope of our business model, to the point that they might as well be about a different industry.

We literally have to pay someone to send us spam.

Needless to say, I never read them, because I have real shit to shovel.

I hate when I submit my resume to an employer's website, and then they want me to add everything in the resume again separately in different text boxes.

Any variant of "humans can only destroy", "alien visitors avoid us because we're primitive brutes", etc.

Each time some nihilistic faggot gloats about how a hypothetical scenario would cause the collapse of civilization, that scenario by definition requires a civilization to exist in the first place.

Besides, the idea that an alien civilization looks at the giant cities covering our planet, supplied by a complex web of cargo ships, planes and trucks carrying goods that can only exist via worldwide cooperation, and thinks "nah fuck these primitive niggers lmao" says a lot more about them than about us. Just how fucking full of yourself can you be.

Humans have the curiosity and open-mindedness to marvel at beaver dams and crow tribunals. We teach dogs tricks and monkeys rudimentary sign language. But to Mr. Space Hister, a planet surrounded by communication satellites is proof that we're too retarded or violent for a first contact? Fuck off.

What annoys me is the assumption that an alien race would have zero conflict or wars at all. You just know they're out there in the cosmos having cool space battles.
