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

[The handsome tard]

The sheer incapacity of artists being normal people. Seems like every one of them is a manchild TDS filled pronouns in bio type that cant be straight even if their lives depend on it. Oh and they mostly make porn because thats what sells.

Spoiler: Personal experience

I have this close friend of mine that started relatively normal when we were little but he slowly began to grow more and more deviant over the years. He is a nice dude but it seems he cant be less liberal even if his life depends on it. It all started with him doing innocent cartoon character couples and now all he does is porn porn porn. Im able to mostly ignore that since he mostly keeps it to himself in our talks (and I know better than to bring up politics) but dude had a freaking panic attack when the Trumpster got elected again and I had to spent the whole following night calming him down and dude's one year older than me. I dont know, I like him but I wish he was smarter and stronger. And of course he moved to Bluesky because nothing says modern liberal than leaving to Bluesky in an attempt to own the Musk and Trumpster when that is clearly backfiring, lol.

Also he is a bisexual V-Tuber (because of course) and last time I checked his stream, his cat anthro icon is wearing a japanese school girl outfit and I asked "Okay, I'll regret asking but why are you wearing this" and he said "why not?". God, the second hand cringe...

Its sad when you want to really like a close friend but he keeps doing dumbass liberal type shit and you keep hoping he will grow up at some point but its becoming increasingly unlikely. He also complains how he and his mother have no money but he constantly talks about him spending money on stupid shit in the form of "treating myself" when thats not how money saving works, you duffus.

Also I have an actual job (and money lol) and he has no driver's license and only a job teaching little guetto kids in extracurricular activities (shockingly, they dont respect him). Dude looked so promising but now...

90% of artists seem to be raging liberals and the more conservative ones tend to really be more akin to left leaning centrists and I really wonder why nearly every artist leans left one way or the other, falling into the same stereotypes. I would feel kind of embarassed to draw LGBTQ, especially trans characters, if I had any drawing ability, my mind would just feel like its a waste of talent.

But yeah, why most of them are just incapable of being fucking normal?

Snow has hit the road which means the Mexicans are smashing their cars together and becoming major road hazards.

The sheer incapacity of artists being normal people

There is a universal requirement for good artists to be absolutely fucked up in order to focus their attention on their craft. There is no exception to this.

 

[Shart Attack]

So I take it that Transformers porn is a thing these days?

wat

It is robots who change into vehicles. How is that sexual?

There's someone out there for everyone. Sometimes she's got a nice rack, sometimes she's got rack and pinion.

>somebody gives me food
>tell them thank you and I will eat it later
>They insist I eat it
>Not hungry. Tell them I will eat it when Im hungry
>They act offended until I eat the fucking food

Even if its the most delicious fucking food on the planet it tastes like shit and all my gratitude is gone because you fucking pestered me into eating it right now and not later. Why do people do this? I want to enjoy the food, not force feed it to myself and pretend I enjoy it to appease you.

 

[Lone Star]

This is a part of a bigger issue I've seen and I'm not sure what's the proper name for it. It's the kind of behaviour where someone knows damn well what something means, but then tries to twist it into making some kind of point like it's a gotcha. Its very slimey because you know they 100% understand the intention of whats being said, but pretend they don't for some sort of strawman (?) argument.

Super late, but I like to call this purposeful ignorance. Maybe not the snappiest term, but it works.

What grinds my gears is someone speeding past you and getting in front of you on the road, only for us to hit a red light or some traffic two seconds later. Was it worth it being an obnoxious fag to save a literal second of driving time?

I personally really don't like how any food with sauce in it seems to be getting more and more watery by the second. I had steak recently with A1 and it was so runny it just about flowed out like water. Tomato-based sauces like Prego and others aren't thick at all either. I love me my thicker sauces and there is not a single brand of anything that's not running in the wrong direction there.

 

[The Last Stand]

I went to get some groceries. It asks me for an ID and date of birth. Okay, that's strange. What did I buy that required an ID? Whipped cream. I'm asking, why do I need ID to buy whipped cream?

Answer: people have been getting high from the whipped cream container. Nitrous oxide that MAKES the cream whipped, they're inhaling that shit. And of course, it's a TikTok trend. This is the first I'm hearing of it. God, people are dumb as fuck.

It's called doing whippits. It's really surprising you've never heard about it until now. They were warning us about it in school in the 90s. Oldest urban dictionary entry for it is from 2003. It's not even a remotely new concept. That's not to say it's not stupid as fuck people treat whipped cream like a controlled substance. I had to show my ID to buy a CO2 duster can the other day. So annoying.

Holy fuck I hate driving anywhere in winter, not because of the weather itself but because every other driver's IQ drops about 500 points between November and March. Pickup and SUV drivers will apparently suffer fatal mental anguish if they slow down to below double the speed limit or give other people a little extra following distance when the roads are covered in snow. On the other side are the geriatric absolute fucking retards who will slow down to half the speed limit and constantly ride their brakes even after the plows and road salt have done their thing, and the roads are perfectly clear and dry.

All I Want for Christmas Is You

That fucking awful Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime song they torture us with increasing frequency each Christmas season.

Add "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bells" to this list.

Can it at least be a ranked list? I need Wonderful Christmastime at the top. It's utter dreck.

Buying whipped cream to huff it is still absolutely retarded. Even if you don't think doing whipits is ontologically dumb (hey I had a fair amount of fun with that shit at Dead shows and the like way back when), you're massively overpaying and on top of that, wasting perfectly good whipped cream.

Just go to a head shop and get the canisters and some balloons and a dispenser if you absolutely must do that shit.

Forest Whitaker's The Butler is playing on TV.

They bleep out "nigger" when uttered by the white characters but leave it in when muttered by the black ones.

 

[bliblblblbbllb]

I bought a new pair of the exact same uniform-compliant pants I always wear, and the new ones were noticeably thinner than my old, worn-in ones. Material got cheaper. I thought, well maybe it's alright, and maybe they'll fluff up a little after being washed a few times. I tripped and BOTH knees ripped right open like I was Captain Kirk in some early Star Trek.

No, no, you see, it's like a sing-a-long thing. You have to scream NIGGER at the TV every time it's bleeped. BYON.

My old office had shitty computer rolling chairs at each terminal with round handles that somehow would snag your side pockets.

It was a fast-paced environment where you were jumping in & out of the chairs to use the terminals a half-dozen times an hour.

I'd turn several pairs of dress pants into tearaways a month.

When people act like basic or very obvious business practices are actually secret ways greedy businessmen are trying to secretly rip off the consumer. The kind that act like making a big box (but still putting the proper weight written on the box) is lying to the customer, or saying they designed the food to make you want more of it is immoral. What the fuck do you want them to do, design the recipe so you say "that's horrible, I never want that again in my life?"?

 

[Mysterious Figure]

I hate that I can never make myself go to sleep when I need to, and I have a hard time waking up in the morning. Fuck my life. Maybe I'm meant to be a night person and not a day person.

 

[The Last Stand]

My upstairs neighbors have rambunctious children. I knocked on the door to ask them to keep the noise down; I can literally hear them screaming and stomping enough to where my apartment vibrates. Mom doesn't even come out; I have to talk through the door. Jesus. I don't even know if telling the apartment manager would do anything. I have to work when it happens.

Sorry for the double post. Literally had 2 neighbors evicted for noise, a few years ago. Not sure if it would do any good now. First one was for toddler bashing against the walls, screaming. 2nd one was for sickos locking their dog in a utility room closet.
