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

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

Or having vehicles go into "stand by" when you go idle?

Is that an electric/ hybrid car thing? I have a weird negative reaction to hearing cars start up when it's time to go forward at a stoplight.

My grind: music that literally flips from left to right speaker. Example: The Perfect Kiss by New Order. Absolutely love that song, one of my faves of theirs, but on headphones it nauseates me bc at 10 sec in there's a measure with all the sound going back & forth btw left speaker & right speaker.

This version (just music not the vid):

Still awesome music just hate that back & forth in headphones.

Take it up to whoever mixed the audio. On that, when you watch a video and it's mono but you're wearing headphones. You think your headphones are broken, but it's the video itself. Now your ear feels lonely.

Many recent (normal) cars do the stop start thing.
It's been annoying the few times I've had one as a rental.

My electric car is the opposite, it just won't shut up. Old days: turn off the ignition, radio stops. Middle years: turn off ignition and open door and radio stops. Now: turn off car(no ignition) open door, get out, close door and finally the fucking radio stops.

Sometimes I just want some peace and quiet for a few seconds.
Maybe one of the 300 settings I haven't found yet.

Pretty sure I'm not going to get traction complaining about the mix on a 39-year-old song (or even a 2015 remaster of a song, which is what stupid Apple tees up for me)!

It's just a weird peeve/reaction to the total left-right of it. Normal stereo/different sounds left/right are great, but that song is a fast and has a 100% switchback, and it makes me feel ill to hear it in headphones.

On that, when you watch a video and it's mono but you're wearing headphones. You think your headphones are broken, but it's the video itself. Now your ear feels lonely.

You turn the air on, it gets cold. You turn it off, you get warm. Come on.

Nextdoor

Nextdoor is simultaneously one of the funniest and most pathetic social media sites out there. When it started up in my neck of the woods, it became a shitshow immediately. Eventually a cabal of far left stay at home moms started mass reporting any posts that didn’t conform to their pussy hat viewpoints. However there are crusty old boomers that don’t give a fuck and would fight back. Most regulars on that section created a discord to avoid the far left SAHMs and of course, when they found out about this discord, they screeched and demanded access. When they didn’t, they cried and bled out of their wherevers nonstop. The community page became a ghost town thereafter. Meanwhile the discord is still thriving where people ask for landscaping recommendations and to ask if people have seen their lost dog.

This is a Red Crab native to Christmas Island.


The crab is a crab. It's stubborn, combative at times, and a bit obnoxious to look at- not a particularly great creature to hang out with. It does has a job- to ensure customers receive the services they have paid for, and are therefore entitled to (dirty as that word is). These crabs act as quality control officers for the consumer.



Here's a few Yellow Crazy Ants killing a baby Red Crab. Ants are known for being small, but having a powerful hivemind and teamwork mentality. The ant is sympathetic to other ants, and performs service jobs. These ants were introduced to Christmas Island by explorers, and quickly took over slaughtering all of the Red Crabs- leaving droves of bodies strewn across the land.

Christmas Island, for a while, lost its native Red Crabs. For a while, hotels stopped room service. All of the service workers became lazy and retarded at unforeseen levels- not even one order was made correctly some days. When the work was performed sloppily, or the staff had a sad story instead of a solution, you couldn't really say anything. Because that would make you a Red Crab. A Crabben.



Our final character we've yet to see in our human system is this fella. It's called Tachardiaephagus somervillei and was introduced by scientists and rangers to quell the Yellow Ants' war on Red Crabs. This is a micro-wasp that doesn't sting, build nests, or harm humans. It only harms the ants via impregnating them with parasitic larva. This has allowed the humble Red Crab to survive extinction.


Our own, home-grown Karens have suffered genocide. Now we are experiencing the effects of unregulated service workers. Now you'd better say "thank-you" when you get fed a spoonful of shit. Your room will NOT be cleaned. You can ask, but the Ant can sigh and not enter the request. If you ask again, the ant is free to roll their eyes as they do it.

We need whatever the analog for those wasps are to show up on the scene. We need to quell the aftershock of the Karencaust.

People who don't understand how to use a fucking search engine. I'm not talking about the technical tricks and shit, I mean people who do not understand that you can just type your question in there and get an answer.

The amount of people who think I'm a genius because they'll ask me for a definition for something and I'll just Google it for them is absolutely baffling in a day and age where everyone has an internet capable smartphone in their fucking hands.

I love being able to freeze my overripe bananas for making banana muffins later, as it avoids waste and I always have faster access to overripe nanners, but damn does it suck waiting for them to thaw sometimes. I'll already have to wait for the batter to rest and rehydrate the flour, damn.

Waiting for things to thaw in general is often rather annoying. At least the advantages far outweigh the inconvenience.

It's becoming more and more clear that, for some reason, I've developed an intolerance to chicken in my 30's.

Which sucks, cause chicken has been my main source of protein for probably 15 years now.

You can freeze bananas?

I'm growing an intolerance for people in general.

I mean, me too. But at least people don't make me poop straight water for half the night.

 

[Dysnomia]

There's this fat fuck on my street that sits on his porch and harasses women. Every woman that walks by. I think he's a drunk or on some kind of medication. He's gotta be a good 400 lbs if he's an ounce.

One of the cats is mostly outdoors (I wasn't around to prevent it when he was little like the other two). He goes out in the morning and I collect him at night. He's easy to get because he's always at the same house. So I walk down the street and Fat Beetus Fuck starts asking me if I need money and if I can talk to him for a few minutes. He asks me if I'm alright and I tell him it's getting late and I have to get my cat. On my way back I hear him harassing another woman who ignores him. He then asks me to spend time with him and asks if he can go home with me. Now I don't want to walk down that direction anymore. Not like he's gonna get me or anything. Too fat. But I don't want to be harassed.

I've started going out earlier for the cat because this isn't a nice area. But I was late tonight. But this guy is out for hours. He has nothing else to do. I don't know if this is a Philly thing or a ghetto thing or what. But these guys that ask if you are alright for no reason at all or ask if you need money are getting ridiculous.

And this isn't some "Are you alright" out of concern. It seems to be some kind of slang/downlow term for "Do you want to fuck for money". Or maybe they think you are in a flophouse or on the street for whatever retarded reason regardless of what you look like. They can't flat out solicit so they roll the dice with downlow terms. I have a certain alt style to me. But I dress modestly by 2024 standards. But honestly, I've seen women in hijab sexually harassed and groped. So it's not the wardrobe. It's the coom brain. I'm so tired of it all.

So girls, if a weird creepy guy asks if you need money, are alright or need a job, do not converse. Maybe it's mostly an urban/ghetto thing. I don't know.

And people wonder why women don't want to talk to strange men. Next time I'm going to ignore this guy. I didn't think much of talking to him the first few times until he got creepy. I'm constantly dodging creeps. I'm thinking of getting a cheap gold band and just flashing it to anyone freaky who bothers me.

 

[The Last Stand]

How and why am I shedding hair in the bathroom? I don't shave that often. So, I'd have to mop it weekly.

 

[The Foxtrot]

The problem is, for scumbags like him, that might actually have the opposite effect. You put a gold band on, now you're even more tempting a mark, since getting a married woman to fuck for cash gives a loser nigger street cred. Especially a fat, ugly one.

One should not go to the gym, if:
1. The person can only go .6 - 1.1 mph on a treadmill, and they're normal build(young adult Mexicants). They should also probably just kill themselves.
2. The person does not know how to exercise/use the equipment properly. Lat pull downs ARE NOT done facing away from the machine(fat Mexicant man).
3. The person feels the need to hog a piece of equipment for 15 minutes, whilst only accomplishing 3 sets of 5, on light weight. Said person does not wipe their bok-choy, dog and cat meat sweat off the machine(mongoloid looking Asian).
4. The person feels like using cardio equipment means time to talk on the phone(she-boon). Normal people aren't at the gym to listen to you talk to your fellow welfare queens, and drip shea/cocoa butter grease on the equipment.
Saw all of the above in a 45 minute workout this morning. Notice a pattern with the individuals in question?

Some of my younger co-workers and their absolute inability to take care of themselves, resulting in them calling in sick all the fucking time.

It's not all of them, only two, but they're both lazy as fuck, only eat garbage food (their bodies probably get like 10g of protein per day, the rest is sugar and fat), don't move a lot or work out, smoke pot, drink alcohol, and either play video games all day long or watch tv. I wouldn't give two flying fucks about this if they still came in to work - but no. "My tummy hurts", "I have a headache", "I don't know why I feel so bad", "I need to go to the doctor/ER", "I threw up all morning and idk why" - ... I can give you a few reasons why you feel like trash but you don't want to realize that your lifestyle is basically slowly fucking killing you.

I have no idea why my boss is even keeping them around. They suck and are a burden to everyone involved at this current state.

All that drives me up a wall. Or when I see someone just sitting at a leg press or lat pull, not using it, fucking around on their goddamn phone.

This morning it was 2 early 20's white guys just walking around, standing around the equipment laughing and talking. They would mess with the equipment for a sec, never saw them do even 1 full set. I go in at 7am to get it done, and go about my day. Those 2 must have nothing better to do.
