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

Wtf, daylight saving time on march 9. Seething hate.

My upstairs and downstairs neighbors are chronic potheads, the entire building fucking reeks.

I hope all you assholes get super cancer.

I smoke cigarettes (hopefully I can say otherwise soon, Day 6 of Chantix) and I always take my smoke away from neutral parties. I don't care if people smoke weed in their own space on their own time. Stupid, but whatever. But don't inflict your smoke and its stench on others. I guess one of the upsides to criminalization was that stoners would at least be forced to obscure the byproducts of their habit.

Thing is I can't even go full Boomer and yell about asshole kids even though I want to.

The two upstairs look fifteen and downstairs douchbag looks about sixty, it's a multigenerational inconsiderate dickhead plot to drive me nuts.

 

[clara red bottoms]

People with fucking 1,000,000 lumen led headlights. Holy fuck. Every time I pass someone and see fucking stars for several seconds after I regret not driving head on into them instead.

Another slight powerlevel: Parents who spend most of the day, if not the week, attention whoring and showing off on Instagram or Facebook...especially the moms who like to take a bajillion pictures of themselves to fish for likes or compliments. Woman, shouldn't you be busy raising your damn kid and trying to set a good example rather than caring about what strangers online think of you? I'm sure your child will either pick on that shit in time or emulate your behavior.

What's also irritating are those mothers who live out their fairy tale relationships but you are already aware of the fact that they have a multitude of children somewhere they are supposed to be taking care of rather than jumping all over the country.

The fact that literal adulterers will always press their partners with accusations of infidelity based on the most spurious of claims. You see, that one time you vented a personal frustration in a group setting where other women were present, this was tantamount to emotional infidelity and you are thus a cheater. The fact that I happened to screw the neighbor to deal with the emotional upset of the matter is simply a matter of retaliation for an unprovoked act of aggression that I endured. This serves two purposes. It cheapens the meaning of infidelity to meaninglessness so that their own infidelity can be watered down by the aforementioned actions AND it falsely creates an equivalence where the other party is supposed to believe it no longer has the moral high ground. These are the same people who need minute by minute accounting of everything they aren't present for, while disappearing for hours or days at a time with either an explanation that contains too many details (as one might see in a scripted work of fiction) or simple one word or one sentence answers.

tl';dr: When scumbags try to enact a second act of predation to evade consequence for their first act of predation.

People going so damn slow in car parks for no reason. If I can't fully release the clutch pedal in 1st without crashing into you, you are going TOO SLOW!

1) Slight derivations on common names. I learned today that there are a handful of people who go by "Jemery" The parents who assigned this name decided to force everyone who interacts with their child to think "Okay, Jeremy but juxtapose the m and the r" and you force your kid to make an explanation every time. According to records, there are 88 people with this name with 9 given in a year. I do not even know if it is a male name or a female name. I found a female with that first name from England, but it is so limited in use, I don't know if it serves as both. "Jemery" is an extreme example and the more common variation is weird spellings from the ghetto, but the dyslexic version of a common name pops up here and there and they make the world do an inordinate amount of work to interact with their kid and vice versa. It is really just stupid and juvenile to do this.

2) When they skimp on inhalers and the last 20 puffs are SEVERELY less powerful than the first 100. This is more relevant in the steroid inhalers than the emergency ones. The refills on the non-emergency ones are far more limited and this forces people to do 1 puff days or 0 puff days if they don't want days of reduced efficacy. That shit is expensive and if the buyer is promised 120 puffs, they should get 120 puffs.

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

Modern Games that are obsessed with sex/sexual activity and generally involve EVERYONE throwing themselves at the protagonist at all times.

I was interested in thet newer Terminator fps but apparently there's two random sex scenes out of nowhere. Why?

Wtf, daylight saving time on march 9. Seething hate.

Alright so I cannot stand all these people bitching about it. "oh maaan I got one hour less of sleep. I feel jet lagged this whole week!" Grow up you baby. There's people out there working swing shifts, days into nights, doubles, with kids. Ohh maaan you got one hour less of sleep going to your 9-5 and getting to come home every night and be on a normal circadian rhythm. Poor baby. I'm not ranting at you specifically, just in general these people I see online.

I wouldn't mind but it's the exact same bitching every six months.

Condescending people acting like you should already know something when there’s no way you could reasonably know,

You don’t really run into it outside of work, but when you do, it messes with you—makes you start questioning whether you’re actually as sharp as you thought. I try not to let it get to me, but, you know.

 

[Hubelublub]

I certainly get more than I'd like (I'd prefer none) but my experience over 3.5 years hasn't been that bad.

This applies to dating too. I dated a girl once who was always AT LEAST 20 minutes late. She literally didn't show up on time ONCE. 20 minutes was best case scenario, 45 minutes was not unheard of and the worst offense was 2..5 hours late into a 5 hour event with my friends, who were all married or dating, whereas I was unnecessarily given 11th wheel treatment (not from my friends, they didn't make me feel wierd). It is honestly a power thing. Making people wait is an attempt at a display of dominance when it is habitual and constant.

I envy your discipline, but I am at most 2 minutes early and at most 2 minutes late absent an extreme outlier. I usually procrastinate til the last possible minute and traffic dictates if I am marginally early or marginally late.

So I'm watching a YT vid about frustrations in food service and one of the rightful gripes about people who complain about bad to-go or delivery orders DAYS after the fact. This is an extremely rightful grievance. You can't expect memories and records of an order to be well-maintained for longer than the day of service. If you're complaining the next day, you're on the back foot, but if multiple days pass, nobody can confirm or deny anything because hundreds of orders have been processed since. You can only go off the written record at that point and that is going to be standard if all was assumed to be well.

I used to work pizza delivery and we made an exception for someone who was out of range on the condition that we could deny his request if we were slammed and unable to accommodate his request at that time. We literally made him aware of that it was a deniable request on EVERY CALL. One day, while megaslammed, I say "I'm sorry (insert name) but this is the situation we always talked about. We're not going to be able to accommodate you for several hours, if at all. That disclaimer I read you every time, this is the day I have to invoke the contents and you're going to have to go another route if you want food soon." At this time, he decides to launch a complaint about the service he received 8 days prior and demands to talk to a manager. We did not take his order that day or ever again.

I make the mistake of thinking that the way the devil is compelled to honesty in his own competition with Jonny in Charlie Daniel's Band's "Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a universally shared attribute. I figure most people are more concerned with keeping their word and maintaining honesty over material gain. I make the mistake of thinking most people will drop their current course of action, if it can be demonstrated that it is not ideologically consistent with their goals or previous actions. This is just a very long-winded way of saying I'm an idiot.

Thread tax: People who RETROACTIVELY launch a complaint when they are the ones in the hot seat.

Probably should be contained to the games thread, BUT

Modern Games that are obsessed with sex/sexual activity and generally involve EVERYONE throwing themselves at the protagonist at all times. Baldur's Gate III is probably the worst and most prominent offender, but it is not exclusive to this game. While I seriously got the feels for the romantic buildup in Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX between the relevant protagonists and found the buildup endearing, this just doesn't hit the same when you are doing it as the driver rather than the passenger. It has the opposite effect, it is awkward and offputting to be simulating romantic or physical activity with a game character as a game character. CAN WE FUCKING NOT?

For fuck's sake, if you *have* to make games like that, just let the protagonist say "look, until the threat subsides, I don't really care to engage romantic or sexual pursuits, okay?" Having every fucking NPC throw themselves at you is fucking revolting. Thank heavens this doesn't happen IRL.

Corrected in edit: Cited the wrong Final Fantasies.

I ask these questions from a position of genuine curiosity. It boggles my mind how condos are a thing AT ALL. When I was young, condos seemed ideal. A small managable space at a non-bank breaking price without any exterior maintenance to be done. Enter the condo association and the attached condo fees. Okay, seems fair. Services aren't free and a short accumulation of regulations meant to preserve the tranquilty of the common spaces, seems fair.

Fair enough. I suppose that if you have enough resources, simply "keeping the riff raff out" is a value in and of itself. That, and some locations and neighborhoods might only be accessible in condo form and this might justify considering a condo. Still not my cup of tea. Condo associations and HOAs infuriate me to no end.

Thread tax: When people purposefully engage you in a circular argument for hours to upset you so they can complain about you to third parties how hostile and aggressive you were. They disingenuously portray the middle of the story as the beginning of the story or ignore the middle portion where multiple attempts at diplomatic resolution were spat on.

I smoke cigarettes (hopefully I can say otherwise soon, Day 6 of Chantix) and I always take my smoke away from neutral parties. I don't care if people smoke weed in their own space on their own time. Stupid, but whatever. But don't inflict your smoke and its stench on others.

Since you discovered this thread last month, you've been posting in it almost every day, often four times or more. These quoted posts are just from the last two pages of this thread.

Are you ok, fren? Consider taking a walk, or ask your doctor if Cymbalta is right for you.

A real comment on a random YT video I quickly lost interest in. People need to stop doing this dumb shit. Or "whoa new vid drops just as I'm starting my shift!" and every other fucking variation thereof. Serves me right for scrolling below the video, I guess.

Coincidentally enough, a couple weeks ago I got upgraded from HydroChloroThiazide 25 MG to Lisinopril-HC12 20/25mg two weeks ago Friday. Two weeks ago Friday, I had incredibly high BP (163/109) and now I just got at 107/91 and 85 pulse BEFORE my morning med. Last Monday, I got a 110 over 70 at the clinic and a few days back I got a 98 over 73 (this one came with an insane 120 pulse though). I've actually been minding my BP and it went from very high to pretty damned good, exceptional for me. My posts here are meant to entertain and I turn off the rage the moment I hit send. I *did* have a rage problem a few weeks ago, but right now I'm minding my BP and killing it.

tl;dr, yeah, I'm good, thanks for checking.

I have gotta get out of my system kiwi bros, I dont think you all truly get how fucked the workforce is today but hopefully this paints a good image.

Spoiler: A bit long but this is legit infuriating

It all started when my mother noticed a tiny mass in her breast during a yearly checkup battery of tests. Its 2cm. We dont know if its the big breast C or not (hopefully not...).

She did the biopsie in a private clinic, they told us it would take a week to get the results. Very anxious week, she is still a very healthy woman for her age but its never emotionally easy to go through even the suspecion of breast cancer. We hope its a benign mass that will be removed with surgery and thats the worst it will ever get.

Once the week is up, we call the clinic to see if they got the results back, ready for anything. The secretary began to stutter and promised she would find the results by 12AM. That was already a bad sign. We waited and eventually she called her doctor who then called the clinic...

Turns out that the motherfuckers FORGOT to send the sample to the lab. Thats right, for an entire week, the sample sat there and NO ONE noticed it. A catastrophic failure of the entire system, a private sector I might add. My mother and I dont know how serious this could be and even when dealing with the possibility of cancer, time really is a huge contributing factor. I wont say something like that this might have killed my mother (breast cancer isnt the most serious of cancers) but I will say that had this been a more serious one, I might actually say this with honest truth!

Now they are scrambling all the place, throwing every promise under the sun that this time, for realzs, they are sending the sample and we will get the results next week, pinkie promise. So here is my family, agonizing for another god damn week because even the private sector cant hire decent people worth a god forsaken shit.

Its important we get these results and everyone responsible for this process are freaking out, probably because they know these could be grounds for a lawsuit. Time is of the essence when it comes to someone's health.

And before thinks to play devil's advocate (idk why you would but feels like everyone nowadays thinks being the contrarian makes your dick less smaller ) and say "uhh, mistakes happen", I just want YOU to put yourself on my shoes with your mothers or any sort of loved you and I assure you, your tone would change;

And the worst part? We live in such fucked up clown world that Im sure someone in that clinic will say its our fault for not calling over to check if the sample was sent for realsz. People that once would be unhirable out of sheer incompetence are now responsible for your health because Im very sure they arent being able to find ANYONE else to take the spot.

Has everyone been taking retard pills consistently over the last 2 decades?!

 

[Rekeita's Kidneys]

Bullshitting and blowing smoke up someone's ass.

The truth hurts still, but it hurts far less than having issues gaslit into being "non-issues". Absolutely gets on my fucking nerves.

In order to resolve an issue, one must acknowledge said issue. Then *maybe* it can be dealt with.

I'm not a fucking woman or a child. You can tell me shit and maybe I can deal with it.

Christs sake why do people think I'm so right wing? Lmfao

I had a very similar issue with a pharmacy very recently. They said come back in a half hour, then called me 5 minutes later saying that the shipment wouldn't be guaranteed by the time of my trip. I had to impress upon them that when it came to solving my problem, I didn't give a god damn which pharmacy I used or whose pocket the money went into, I was going to have it by hook or by crook. I would drive hours if that was required, someone somewhere in the world had supply and I didn't give a damn what was required on my end to make it happen, only that it absolutely had to happen. I fully understood the situation that THEY were out, that was immaterial to the analysis. I don't care if it's a sister store or a competitor, 5 miles away or 5 hours away, defeat was not an option. I wasn't mad at them for being unable, I was furious that they didn't understand that they aren't the only pharmacy in the world.

Added in edit: "So if the truck is not guaranteed to carry the contents or guaranteed to be here by Sunday, how do I go about guaranteeing access?" "There are no guarantees in this world sir." "I didn't think I could speed up the truck you moron, I am inquiring if the store 5 miles away has supply. I fully understand that you don't control the truck or its contents. I'm not mad at you for the immutables of the situation, I'm upset that you don't see a difference between 'how can I get it?' and 'how can you ensure it will be HERE'"
