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

Forgetting to install LibRedirect on a new PC, being sent a reddit link, and being greeted by this little fella...

Not nearly as gay and cringe as that "Whoa there, pardner!" screen you used to get.

Really, any site you're prohibited from using with your VPN enabled should be thrown into Gehenna.

 

[The Last Stand]

I'm visiting my parents. My dad gets a phone call from a number he doesn't know. Despite us telling him over and over to not answer numbers he doesn't know he answers it. Because he's a boomer he puts it on speaker. Pajeet woman claiming they need to send him a new medicare card but first they need *ALL* the information on it. I tell him "this is a scam, hang up." and he goes "lol no it isn't" and proceeds to give her all the info. He hangs up, then asks me why I thought it was a scam. I told him medicare already has his medicare info and would just send him the card. Plus I'm pretty sure they do all this stuff through mail and don't ask for info over the phone.

He stares blankly for a few seconds, and claims they didn't ask for his social security number though so it's not like they can do anything. I point out they can make unauthorized charges to medicare which he will get billed for.

Loses his shit, starts screaming at me for not stopping him, then starts screaming at my mom for not stopping him, and then despite being a "government needs to butt out of my business" guy he starts screaming about how the government needs to protect him from scammers.

I'm so fucking sick of this retard getting scammed all the time. I'm starting to think they're right and he deserves it.

When I get those calls at work, typically it's from a woman. They go on this spiel about their device being compromised and how their life is in shambles. What am I supposed to do about your life? I hate to say it, it probably isn't true. Or it is, it's none of my business.

I hate it when people use the term "British" when referring to the English.

English refers to the people of the British Isles. They may be called Scottish/Welsh/Cornish when greater specificity is required.
"British" refers to Niggers and Pakis and all the other people who would be deported in a proper country.

Not just the site but whoever decided to do that. Burn them. Alive. Like ISIS did. Release videos. On the very platform they censored you from.

I assure you that when I say British I mean all of them niggers.

If I specifically say English I specifically mean English.

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

If you need to mop weekly, mop weekly.

Also: swiffer, broom, and/or vacuum will handle hair. But you still need to mop now and then.

I don't think that was the problem in this case.

I just think that he was trying to flex on me. Like, "look, I'm doing my research for this job, and that research includes YOU".

I don't necessarily have a problem with people looking at my LinkedIn (in case you want to know more about what I do, what my role is, and if you can expect to have a similar role), but it's considerably rude to use it to act like you know me when you're applying for a job.

I have observed (note: sample size of 2) that fresh college grad zoomers have this thing where they think they're supposed to take charge of a meeting/project or state obvious pandering bullshit in broad meetings to try to seem like they are driving something they don't even understand, or to suck up, even though they know jack, which is painfully obvious to all. I'm very forgiving and I understand they're encouraged/ advised to speak and contribute, but time and place.

Boy howdy do we have a job for you at The Farms. Now son, tell me how much you know about Chris Tyson. Here's a laptop, you have five minutes.

Lol, I just had a friend text me, "what's up with Mr Beast? I keep seeing his name but don't know what's going on.".

"Have a seat..."

People who prey on old people should die a painful death. My dad (80) almost got scammed by a bullshit play involving multiple people, one of which impersonated one of my children, supposedly in jail, crying, requiring thousands to be let go. Thank God for vigilant bankers (said no one ever, but in this case, yes), who told my dad this sounded like a scam. ...He didn't even tell me about it for days.

Swiffers are God's gift to this Earth.

I don't like mops. The mop part itself can reek from prolonged usage of water.

Swiffer mop, friend. Or Bona. Disposable or washable mop heads.

On the subject of Swiffers, it's always annoyed me when people call them "Swifters."

It's not a pet peeve or anything, but it really pissed me off that a fagtube thumbnail spoiled a 20+ year old game for me.

As you point out, San Andreas came out in 2004. I don't think it's reasonable to respond to spoilers with "Dude! I was just to play that!" when you've had twenty years. There really is a limit on spoilers like this.

If an acquaintance knows you're playing it and spoils it, that's different. Do you also get pissed off if someone tells you the Titanic sinks?

Also it's freaking Grand Theft Auto. Not exactly known for being the pinnacle of writing. It's not worth being annoyed about that it got spoiled.

Never heard them called that. Is that a Leafistan thing?

Thanks a lot. I didn't finish the movie.

Thread tax: when you have the bubble guts, but nothing comes out.

Retards who will compulsively go to bat for and stand up for random idiots spamming clickbait on youtube and always say some stupid snarky sub freezing IQ ad hominem redditor bullshit that is not even warranting of a response. That's if they haven't already cried for the jannies to ban you behind the scenes beforehand for having an opinion at all.

They are 100% the reason besides money that the internet has long since gone to shit with rampant and militant advertising spam and clickbait. Linus tech tips for example, or pokemon playthroughs where they narcissistically narrate every single thing they did like they worship the very ground they themselves walk on.

 

[The Last Stand]

"I can't breathe" is the new "may I speak to the manager?" Annoying.

 

[Local Fed]

No idea, I just assumed it was a retard thing because the people who I've encountered who do it tend to be kind of dumb (and more often than not in the Boomer age bracket.) Maybe adding the unnecessary "T" is like the white Boomer equivalent of black Americans being physically unable to say the work "Ask" correctly.

I bought a very unusual, rare watch from Japan a few weeks back, which eventually arrived not too long ago - a GSX 'Autogena,' which you'd basically never find anywhere but Japan. Rarer still, it's like a ~20 year old model, and featured in the movie 'Chakushin ari.'

That said, the watch arrived, it fit perfectly, and looks fucking amazing.

Walking back to the train station after work a few days back, I must have been swinging my arms like a retard or something, because I hit the watch pretty hard against a lamp post. Huge scratch on the watch crystal.

I'm so fucking pissed off.

The chronically online who smell a false flag or an "op" behind everyfuckingthing. Sometimes shit really does just happen.

Really, any site you're prohibited from using with your VPN enabled should be thrown into Gehenna.

The annoying part for me is when experts say to use a VPN as a security measure for business activity only to have business/commercial sites either not work right or block you for using the very same VPN you were encouraged to use.

People who prey on old people should die a painful death.

After a recent scam call that had an older relative shaken up because of how persuasive it was, I don't have enough agrees to give you. It's absolutely scary just how much information scammers can get from data breaches and how believable they can sound in the latest batch of scam calls.

I hate seeing degens with their unfunny memes in historical discussions.
Hurr le roommate XDD le just friends le historians are acktually wrong and fandom retards are totes right.

How about you friendless and touch-starved retards fuck off. Oh wow some instances of historians being wrong about historical gay couples means all male friendships are actually homosexual!1! Is it too much to ask that they do that stupidity in their discord/tumblr shitholes?
Why do I have to encounter them when looking at discussions about bronze age history?!?! I thought these types are stuck with roman/greek revisionist faggotry.
