Grinding gears.

How? In fact, what if terrorist eat bacon?

Getting to topic, one thing that grinds my gears being prepared for a speech, quiz, or test only for it to be postponed. Now while it does give extra time to prepare, it bothers me since I did spend enough time to memorize most if not all of I what I practiced for. Hopefully, I can give the speech for my comm class on Tuesday with few if any mistakes. I wouldn't really want it to get delayed again.
 
Islamic terrorists would never eat bacon. Neither would Jewish terrorists.

My biggest pet peeve is when people chew with their mouths open. I've actually become somewhat disgusted by the smell of minty chewing gum thanks to customers chewing like cows.

Don't know if I mentioned this already but... people taking food from my plate.

Look, I don't mind sharing. In fact, I'll gladly share my food with someone. Just fucking ask first. I can't stand it when people put their grubby hands on my food. It's impolite and it's, y'know, my food. I can't stand someone else's hands near my food anyway, even if they never touch it.
Gah, you have no idea how many times I've been tempted to stab someone with a fork for that. Even went on a date with a guy once who would take my fries when he had his own.

Notice I said "once."

I'm the same way with booze.

I hate it when a really good book is turned into a movie by a bunch of hacks who know little to nothing about the source material and are only looking to make some money.

I was pretty annoyed when I heard that Oldboy was going to be remade. Although, the source material of the original movie was a manga that I never read, so maybe the first Oldboy movie was really shit in comparison. But anyway, I was pretty sure that Spike Lee was going to fuck up doing the remake and I was super pissed. Although, thankfully, it ended up just as dogshit as I expected, but the kind of dogshit that the public doesn't hear about.

It completely bombed. So I didn't have anyone asking me "whoa, did you see that movie oldboy, it's super great."

Another thing that grinds my gears: bacon. I'm not a fan of bacon. It's too oily, it's too greasy, and every time I cook it it either burns or comes out soggy. I don't understand the internet's infatuation with it, either. It's fried pork fat. That's it.

You have to cook it in the oven.

Have you ever noticed that when people chew gum with their mouths open, they look at you as if they know they're being dicks? Every time I make eye contact with customers that are doing it they have this look on their face as if to say, "Look at me one more time and I'm going to start chewing louder and closer to your face." It's probably just the area where I work though.
 
The fact that you are being criticized over a valid criticism that you're giving and people wanting you to censor yourself. Yup, my family does that to me.
 
People who use the elivator just to go up one floor.
no, the levator is for going up/down various floors, you can go up one floors fine, and don't give me the "I can't climb the stairs" bullshit. You are not handicapped, you're just fat.
 
Here's something that most people don't really think about, but this really gets to me. A lot of media (that I've seen) seems to portray every working American as being trapped in a cubicle and staring at a computer working for some large corporation in a very mundane, boring position. Come on now, everyone knows there are much more types of work (and way more interesting and fulfilling) out there.

A pet peeve of mine is getting reminded to do things that I am already going to do, especially with trivial stuff like brushing my teeth, doing my homework,taking a shower and so on. I really butt heads with my family when they remind me about these things.

I made the mistake of reading about Sky Walker. I'm partially angry about his mom (who he killed in a rage) who fed him junk food all the time, who was in a sea of denial that her kid needed to be taken away to an institution, and the fact that she had him at an old age, and I'm angry at the sheriffs office who babied him after he killed his mother.

Whether or not that is seen as an important text or kindling wouldn't matter. I believe what matters is that you tell someone you aren't interested but they keep trying to offer it to you.
 
Bartenders who bring me a vodka martini after I order "a martini." I shouldn't have to specify "gin." Even in a "hip" bar. And I refuse to order, "A gin martini, please." When did we start losing our way as a nation?

This is my only real concern.
