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

Yellow armpit stains on shirts.

Yellow armpit stains on shirts.

Trying to clean white clothing in general. Easy to stain, easy to wear, hard to maintain. Whose idea was it to make underwear white?

The unreal tournament episode of that secret level show is really good and the soundtrack is really good too, but it kinda bugs me they didn't keep the UT announcer voice doing the kill announcements and countdown in the official release of the song. It just fit in so well. the music seems catered around it.

Official full release even has some voice in it but not the announcer. It's odd

When you can't strangle people who are responsible for adding the most retarded unnecessary UI in a update for expensive hardware.
Every time I want to switch from my Wacom drawing screen Tablet, to another monitor and control it on my tablet

I see this shit:

I HAVE 1 (ONE) OTHER MONITOR
I KNOW WHAT SCREEN IM CONTROLLING
IF I DIDN'T I'D JUST LOOK FUCKING UP

NO THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THIS OFF
THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO NEVER USE THE FEATURE
GIVE ME THE NAME OF THE RETARD WHO COULDN'T FIND THEIR MOUSE ON THE SCREEN
KILL HIM. KICK HIM IN THE NUTS. LET ME BITE THE BACK OF HIS KNEES.

AT LEAST PUT IT ON A CORNER
NOT AT THE FUCKING MIDDLE YOU NIGGERS
THIS IS WHAT NIGGER CATTLE UI LOOKS LIKE

GIVE ME THE NAME OF THE RETARD WHO COULDN'T FIND THEIR MOUSE ON THE SCREEN

My mouse teleports weirdly between screens, but even then, I find it by eye just fine.

"Are you mad at me?"
"Do you hate me?"
"Did I do something to upset you?"
No, but I want to fucking hate you when these questions are asked over and over.

I'm pretty sure this is a recycled gripe, but there also exists a category of people who antagonize until they upset you and then communicate the story to third parties as if you blew your lid over nothing, omitting the time they spent antagonizing you. It is either willfully precalculated or such a common practice that it is instinctive, either way it is foundationally dishonest and absolutely maddening.

My wife's colleague does this, and she's such a manipulative awful bitch. My wife always remains professional with it. Then this woman texts about her behind her back to another woman who sends those texts on over, because she's actually friends with my wife and hates this other person too, she's just delusional and thinks she's her friend for some reason. I wish I could get into the entire story because it pisses me off big time, but that would be pretty revealing.

I will say it's not always the above. Sometimes you do just run through your head of everything and still can't come to a reason why someone is upset and have to straight up ask "Did I do something to upset you?"

Added more WHORES in there for comedic effect. Uhhhhh something something women are all heartless WHORES and society loves coddling WHORES who laugh at men's suicide. WHORES.

Big fan of your work, Mr miller. Can I call you frank?

In that same technological vein, software updates add features you don't want and can't turn off.

Fucking MS Word and Copilot. You can't turn that shit off on the mobile version either and there's always some annoying pop-up going COPILOT CAN HELP MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU AND-

Shut up, I just need to read some documents.

"Are you mad at me?"
"Do you hate me?"
"Did I do something to upset you?"
No, but I want to fucking hate you when these questions are asked over and over.

Sounds like a bad case of untreated BPD fuckery. I'm a nut case myself but even a nutto as me find dealing with untreated BPDs exhausting. Especially when they pull that shit.

Or " Do you like me? What do you like about me? Am I good? Am I great? Why don't you love me?!!!!"

Fucking mind games, man.

I think in that vein, people that ask you something or say a thing and get pissy when you don't respond in a way that soothes their ego. I've had one too many experiences with that one to not get irritated.

"I bought a car!"
"Oh sweet!"
"You're not gonna ask questions?"
"I mean you can tell me about the car. I don't know much about cars."
"What's the point if you're not even interested?"

???????????
What is your goddamn problem?

Big fan of your work, Mr miller. Can I call you frank?

You better not be associated with any WHORES.

Sucks when a book I like at library is pulled. Yeah I could always get the book myself or even access online ("e-book"), but I like going to library to read physical books.

Reminds me. I went to the local library, and everyone was super nice, but I asked about donating some books and movies to them and the woman who handles that was a total icey asshole. It was weird. All the other women were afraid to argue with her, but seemed to really want me to donate what I was mentioning and soft argued with her. The ice queen was just being super pretentious and a jerk. Pissed me off, never did end up donating anything. Never was given a definitive answer.

Found yourself a type A queen bee. She decided by drawing on her infinite wisdom that you are an asshole. That infinite wisdom is for sure not a snap judgement based off of arbitrary values!

Whenever there's some sort've organization like that these types like to sit atop it like they're ruling a fiefdom.

It's weird because my wife was with me and we were talking about trying to get something important going there. I won't get into what, but it would have greatly benefited the community. And all volunteer by us. They already had some stuff related to it, but without a professional to help. Iced about that too by just her. If I told you full about what we were discussing and her behavior towards it, you'd think she was legitimately evil.

One of my kids worked for a library a couple of years ago for awhile as a pt job. They were getting rid of books to make room for more computer terminals. Just disgusting. And this was a college library.

Iirc, our local branch of the public library (huge, but imo relatively bereft of actual books - not even full sets of works by classic authors; mind-boggling) will take book donations, but they resell them in an adjacent little store rather than shelve them for borrowing. I believe it primarily has to do with licensing agreements, etc., but it’s retarded.

I like libraries crammed with books. Weird, I know.

 

[Bruce LaLiLuLeLo]

People who read books while eating. You get the book wet or drop food on it, it's stained forever and there's gonna be a bunch of insects all over it. Wtf is wrong with you, why would you do this.

Anyone who complains about “not like other girls”.

Seriously, but other girls aren’t cool.

>Hello, we inform you we are still waiting on x & y files.
>Resend the same clearly labelled email I sent about two months ago.

Almost everyday at my work
“Can you send me that file?”
“I sent it a few hours ago.”
“Oh, let me go check again."

My version of this:

Boss: (Kiwi Lime Pie), Please handle this client document.
Me: Okay, done, and it's waiting for you.
Boss, 6+ months later: (Kiwi Lime Pie), Please handle this client document.
Me: Umm, I already saved this once before. Here's where to find it.

I hate Walmart because all the customers and staff are fucking snotty. Twice now I've gotten two different female black greeters that falsely acted like I was stealing from the store. Fuck them. I should start going to Target.

Recently, my experience was the mirror opposite. The Target salesperson didn't even answer the question I asked and took me to an aisle with products I wasn't even looking for. Conversely, the Walmart salesperson directed me to the right section in the store for what I needed. That said, some of the Walmart greeters I've seen look like they're too eager to bother shoppers about their receipts/purchases on the way out the door even when you have your receipt in hand.

Thread Tax: The McDonald's ordering kiosks. I know why they're there, but they seem to be more annoying than an actual cashier. No, I don't want to log in... No, I'm not interested in an overpriced burger or fries today... No, I don't want to make a donation. Just let me order the item(s) I want and pay in peace.

They're trained to do that.
Walmart hires sassy fat black bitches to make sure customers meet their daily "why are they like this?" quota.

Again, a recycled gripe, but I have had one experience with Walmart in at least 12 years (I am uncertain the last time I was in a Walmart, I just know with certainty it was not in the last 10 years and I am estimating that it was at least two years prior to that) trying to purchase a water filter for a fridge. I did this because I didn't want to initiate an Amazon delivery for the same price for something that I clearly had the time to do myself. I went back FOUR times over the course of 10 days and was told "Oh we're expecting that tomorrow" from four different employees on four different occasions. It was retarded to fall for this a second time, let alone a third (that's on me) but on the fourth venture, I said "I could have had this delivered from Walmart and received it in three days, instead, I have wasted two hours of my life on three broken promises over the course of 10 days (I always allowed a grace day or two on the "tomorrow" promise because I wanted to make sure I didn't arrive too early in the day if the promise was legit) but I could have had it delivered and received it in three days?" I got some massive complaint from the employee about how delivery customers are prioritized. I finally registered an account for Walmart delivery but an error on their end prevented this from happening. I finally gave up and ordered it from Amazon. I got it the next day. All of this is because I didn't want to consume delivery resources when they are better used on the elderly and infirm.

I WILL NEVER give Walmart another chance or use them for ANY reason. I will drive across the country before I use a Walmart.

Added in edit: One omitted detail on this story is that before I went into Walmart the first time, their web site said they were in stock on the water filter I was seeking. From the information I received, and not knowing how cavalier and frequent Walmart gave faulty information, I had a reasonable expectation to have this task completed in 30 minutes time.
