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

Customer service/support people that answer everything but the actual question you asked. I have recently been working a casual job and the tax taken out has been way to high. I wrote an email to staff support asking about this, and recieved a big response telling me how I incorrectly filled out my pension tax exemption, despite not even being half way to pension age. I never mentioned the word pension once.

What's your fucking problem, COD boy? The context, anyway, was Medal of Honor and Call of Duty are both popular WW2 games. You mentioned Call of Duty, you thick cunt.

Damn, relax. You made a comment and tagged me next to it. I didn't remember what post of mine you were referring to.

Levis is just fucking making up what waist size means. My 36 are starting to feel a little lose, so I try some 34 and I can't even get the fucking button within 6 inches of the loop! :stress:

I have the opposite problem. My waist is too small for many pairs of jeans without a belt.

Fair enough. I don't remember either, come to think of it, so it's fine.

Sometimes in videos like reviews, rants, and general video essays...if the person is talking about a bad subject, they'll sometimes have music play on a shrieky, out-of-tune flute or something. Like if they're talking about modern Star Wars, the main Star Wars theme will play but shitty or if it's Harry Potter, they play the Harry Potter theme. It's always jarring and ear-piercing, and a lot of creators do it, so it's not just a matter of avoiding one person.

Don't take drugs. Problem solved.

Weather gets cold, warm, then cold again on the same day.
 
I don't understand how fucking bad air travel and other forms of mass transportation is within the US. My flight was two and a half hours delayed.

In Japan, i would be expecting suicides over this.

And the fucking boarding zones. There are like 12 separate groups for a plane that seats like 45 people.

I don't get why this is tolerated by anyone at all.

Edit: and this fucking airline has the nerve to not only try to sell over priced shit to ear, but also their fucking credit card as we waited for over an hour to deplane.

The US is a fucking 3rd world country when it comes to their airlines and trains.

Managed to find a fairly rare 78 I've been trying to get hold of for a while (Perez Prado, mambo number 5/mambo jambo). bought it instantly, because all the other copies I've seen floating around are from Italy or the US and have a huge postage cost.

It arrived today, in three pieces. Whoever sent it didn't bother to pack it properly, so even the slightest impact was enough to do it in. I am very, very grumpy.

I hate people who rant and complain in public. It's even worse when they 1) believe people will care what they think and 2) people will care who they are. I just want to go about my day and be left alone. I also hate that just wanting to be left alone is apparently too much to ask from most people these days. Holy fuck, it makes me glad that outside my job and errands that I don't go out and about much anymore.

Were you flying American Airlines?
 
When someone asks you for advice or an opinion, then immediately doesn't believe you/ignores your response. For example, they're trying to hang a picture on the wall and ask "does this look straight to you?" When you answer "Yeah it does" they immediately say "no, it's not straight". WHY THE FUCK DID YOU ASK ME IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO MY RESPONSE!

The fact that no one on this planet does their job anymore. Deadlines are missed, lies are told, tasks are completed halfarsed, and no one feels any shame or guilt, or desire to fix their errors. Can't even get people to respond to emails or pick up their phones anymore.

It's better to do things yourself, but our bullshit over regulated societies make this impossible, so you have to allow your shit to get fucked by dickheads who couldn't give less of a shit.

I hate dust. I clean my flat every Saturday and without fail, by Monday I'm already seeing a thin layer on the shelves I use the least and even on the leaves of my plants.
Also, the abysmal quality and style of clothes nowadays. I just want something simple that will at least somewhat reliably fit me, in a decent material that is not made in god damn Cambodia. I'm this close to just going full Decathlon "middle-aged German lesbian" style because it's the only brand I can afford where the clothes will not fall apart in a week.
