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

[Based Trees]

I'm not from the UK and this is grinding my gears. See what happens in Glasgow or Belfast when you call people English

Naturally you call the Irish, Irish.

My point is that the term "British" is being used to push foreign trash into the UK.

Only the English can be English, but anyone can be British.

enter some sort of accessible/blind mode if you spam press them

Most of the traffic lights in my town have that click-clack noise for the blind on by default, or the signal button has an integrated buzzer to indicate when it's green. The click-clack sound would drive me insane if i had to live next to a street with one of these traffic lights, some of these are set to a ridiculously loud volume.

Plastic cars.
Finally got around to installing my dashcam in the new truck. Had to, as usual, use fuse taps to grab continuous power and a switched power line. I hate using a fuse tap on a live circuit, one was a 'spare' so that was fine, the other I had to use an in-use circuit, so I chose the USB charger, figured that was safe if the tap failed or fell out. There was a spare on that circuit, but it was the wrong fuse type.

Speaking of that. Aluminum composite beds for "heavy duty" trucks.
Motherfucker the point of a heavy duty (diesel) truck is to move things, not for me to drop unsharpened blunt tool steel for it to slice the bed in half.
Old trucks rust away, new ones just fall apart the second you put strain on them.

Don't forget the simpler times of a slow as fuck Inline 4 diesel for moving stuff around.

The Welsh and Scots don't like being called English either. When I was on vacation in Wales, it seemed like every other person I had any kind of conversation with at some point said something like "I fookin 'ate the English."

To which my reply would be "ooh, sorry to hear that. I bet they tasted terrible"

When people are in situations where they can clearly see everyone has a problem, but act like only their problem matters. For example: if there are delays in public transport after a big event in a busy city centre, there's always one asshole who acts like their inconvenience is so much more important than others. Yelling and having a sook isn't gonna magically make the bus/train fit more people, shut up and wait in line like everyone else.

fucking SUVs. i swear that every new car on the roads these days (in england, at least) is some ugly Nissan Juke or Qashqai, or lookalike. boils my piss as a bonus if they're electric too. and it's all car manufacturers seem to be making; i went on alfa romeo's website recently and was horrified at the cars they're making nowadays.

what happened to nice little sporty-looking cars. it's either SUVs or the standard 'first car' cars that only pedos drive to pick up barely teenage girls at mcdonalds. hate.

I work in a warehouse and we have a troon new hire. Typical terminally online faggot who's entire personality is their sexual identity. Troon gets a little bump on the head from loading a box, spends hours crying about it, before management finally shipped his ass back home. I hate that we natural functioning adults/autists in society have to constantly make concessions for and tip toe around these weak and fundamentally broken attention whores. How the fuck are you going to take having your balls cut off and penis turned inside out if you can't take a bump on the head from a 5lb box? Makes me furious.

It's moments like this where you can really take stock of how detached modern man is from his natural condition.

Had this incident occurred in 1953, said Troon (then a normal man) would be given rudimentary first aid, then either taken the day off or continued his work without complaint. Now? Chaos all around, to say nothing of being a coomer faggot.

I don't have anything original to say really, just another iteration of 'end of Rome' ramblings. Truly bizarre stuff.

 

[Lady Bizness]

I'm just laughing at the image of some troon getting bonked in the head while being an ungainly dork. Did his head wobble?

1) There's only so much you can do when they push mileage standards. Instead they should change it to a scheme where tax is just levied heavier on manufactures who produce larger vehicles in generals. I guarantee you a 6.6 Duramax diesel is not as efficient as a 4 cyl diesel for running around in a field or to your local farmers market...
2) I think that's the bongland equivalent of brodozers in the US being giantantically tall and large since they need to justfy the cost and keep the "crash safety" (and the stupid ass LEDs that blind your face) war ongoing.

People are already pressed forever by their bosses to fucking do everything faster. Fuck you I'm taking my sweet time going 65 on the highway when the speed limits 85mph...

Why do people accelerate when they can see that the upcoming light is red? They're just going to sit there longer. Also, why do people think that being closer to the car in front of them means they're getting somewhere faster?

I don't like people who collect useless garbage in excess, dedicating whole rooms to a collection of funko pops, plushies or whatever. I came across this Instagram-account yesterday and something about an adult (this woman is 27) collecting plush cows just rubs me the wrong way. Yeah, she's not hurting anyone with this, but it's still repelling to me - just like dudes with their dumbass Funko Pop collections or what have you.





This is just glorified hoarding-disorder and you cannot convince me otherwise.

I’m so sick and tired of any kind of criticism towards any type of creative work being considered ‘toxic,’ ‘negative,’ and ‘trolling’. Especially the last one, trolling to normies now means any type of negative feedback whatsoever. I’m tired of being smugly told I must either blow smoke up everyone’s ass or shut up, tired of sassy clapbacks for even polite critique. Tired of people always ending their posts with ‘please don’t be rude! Please be nice! Keep moving trolls ’ It’s not even just creative stuff now that I think about it, I’m in a couple homesteading groups and god forbid you imply someone could improve their chicken coop without adding a bunch of heart emojis so they don’t get their feelies hurt.

Everyone collectively needs to harden the fuck up. It annoys me so much that whenever I post stuff of my own I make it clear people can say whatever they want about it, the pretend positivity gets so old it’s kind of refreshing (and humbling) to be told I suck once in a while.

It makes me more annoyed when someone has multiple of the same thing in these cases. Like you really need fifteen of the same plushy? Even a massive Funko Pop wall with only one of each figure would be more tolerable...maybe.

I'm sort of like that thing obnoxious anti-vegans say, but my version is for everyone relentlessly sucking cock, I promise to be even more rude.

That doesn't even really piss me off much. I mean, it's some retarded hoarder shit but at least it isn't abusing animals and having a floor covered in human feces and piss and animal waste and dead animals and just horrifying shit like that that deserves execution.

I'd make an exception for Funko Pops because by buying them, you're causing more of them to be manufactured, and I just fucking hate Funko Pops specifically. Their mere existence pisses me off.

There's a news article about Americans becoming less religious.

And of course, it kicks off with LGBTQETC+ this and "BLM" that.

Must "identity politics" be crammed into everything these days?

I was coming in today to bitch and moan about how fucking gay toy/action figure collectors are.

I don't like "collecting" myself, but I like using action figures to build dioramas. Having to deal with action figure collectors is the absolute worse though. They're always hoarders, they're always putting toys over their families and social lives, they're always bitching about how things should perpetually be like the 80's even though they doll out thousands upon thousands on modern shit. It's honestly baffling to find out they are all 15-20 years older than me cause they act like a bunch of children.

It's actually gotten so gay lately that I've disassembled my completed dioramas and I'm selling the action figures and parts to just be out of this part of "the hobby" entirely.

In my town, the local government evidently has more money than they know what to do with, so you can't drive a mile without running into construction and being bottlenecked.

There is this one brand of pistachios called "Wonderful" that comes in snack size portions. A textbook example of "shrinkflation" in action: it's less than a handful and should be maybe 25 cents, and yet it's in a bag 5 or more times the volume... and well over $1.

In my state, you can't drive more than 30 minutes without running into construction bottlenecks, and most of the time there's nobody actually working.
