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

[WhoBusTank69]

When I'm looking up advice / experience on something and there's an overwhelming amount of people(Boomers) who explicitly state they have not done it and express an unreasonable amount of doubt and passive shaming with a shitload of ellipses. It doesn't matter if it's framing a photo or changing a tire or how to properly serve a volleyball.

Boomers with a shitload of ellipses.

They only seem to use them when they’re annoyed. I assume it’s their way of expressing how flabbergasted they are by different opinions—like a dial-up modem trying to process a modern website.

Thread tax: I’m officially over the flood of AI-generated celebrity deepfakes hawking miracle sludge in online ads. The fact that I keep getting blasted with this dreck only proves to me it's working on wide eyed rubes.

I can't stand people/groups who portray their opponents as being simultaneously very powerful and dangerous but at the same time imcompetent retards. Either group X is this brutal killing machine that's going to destroy everything you hold dear without mercy, or they're window licking mental midgets who are so easy to trick and prove wrong. Its one or the other.

 

[The Last Stand]

Seeing this fucking faggot on my youtube recommendations:

I've never watched his content and no matter how many times I click 'don't recommend', he continues to haunt me.

I don't know why, but he looks like Jesus on that shot.

Working with people is not easy. You try to explain something to somebody, they interrupt you which makes you lose your train of thought. They refuse to listen or hear you out for the why. Sometimes, they'll make the simple task much harder than it needs to be by being stubborn.

Or you and everything you love is so weak it's being destroyed by window lickers high on chromosomes.

When I'm talking to someone like my Pa and they're grouchy so they just bicker about stupid shit, argue with things they wouldn't normally argue about, that kind of thing.

So winter gave me a parting "gift": sick yet again. Maybe "Old Man Winter" is really Nurgle.

Is it that hard for a store to calibrate the self-scan scale or allow shoppers to mute the robotic voice

My regular place had a mute button but it seems every grocer in the area de-programmed it. Probably to subtly discourage shoplifting by making it easier for the watchlady to noootice when your hands are moving but no item is scanned, and also to soothe retards who think peaceful no-noise machine = bad broken machine.

Tax: It grinds my gears that the dictionaries for both my browser and my word processor have shrunk over the years. I'm constantly adding words to the dictionary that were never a problem before. Just today I got the red squiggles under 'snuck'. As in 'He was sneaking earlier. He snuck in quietly.'

Are you familiar with the time that Jennifer Garner was on Conan O'Brien and played this out in real time? She"corrected" him with "snuck is not a word Conan, you went to Harvard, you should know this." He proceeded to bring out a dictionary and read "snuck, past and past participle of sneak."

You do know that's a planned bit right? Like it was set up and agreed upon before hand, yes?

I gathered as much from the fact that the dictionary was conveniently handy and it included a drop about his Harvard education. It was still relevant to the post above mine.

Representations of CPR in fiction where the emergency personnel just bounce their hips up and down while simply positioning the hands on the sternum without pushing into the chest any. For fuck's sake, get a handful of prop torsos so the actors can actually push into the sternum and simulate real CPR. Fake CPR is on the same level as "the explosion gently pushed our protagonist to safety."

pretty sure that CPR can snap bones, especiallu when done by a guy who just learned how

When someone doesn't wipe their fucking hands or mouth after eating, and gets their greasy shit everywhere.

Tax: It is 19 degrees out, wind speed close to 20 mph and expected to snow. For Christ’s sake can’t you homeless vermin take a night off from being the scum of society and just let me have one quiet night? It’s bad enough dealing with the weather without having to constantly be in the lookout for you filth.

lemme give u a tip, open the window for a few minutes visibly holding an egg carton, yell at the hobos "GET OUT OF HERE", as intimidstingly as possible, and close the window while keeping an eye on em

if they ignore, open the window and start throwing eggs at em until they leave u alone

they can't say u assaulted them, eggs are harmless, but it sucks to be covered in eggs


do so every time they bother u, and they'd know ur even crazier than they are and won'y mess with u


my grandma used this trick, but she'd escalate from eggs, to shoes, to beer bottles if they don't GTFO

there's no hobos in a 3km radius of her apartment thanks to this little trick

however i live in the desert, nights can range from 1⁰ celsius to 30⁰ celsius, if 19⁰F is too low for u to bother shooing em away, then u won't bothee doing so

It impresses my wife.

I can't stand when people grind their teeth over their fork when eating.

People who don't work and then complain they have no money.

More the opposite. If you aren't doing it hard enough at least possibly to break ribs, you're probably doing it wrong. Consider that most people who end up needing it already have brittle bones. There are probably people better at it, but even they will sometimes have a choice between someone dying and breaking a rib or two.

It's better when they pull all the way through in a parking lot with angled parking so when they leave they're going the wrong way down a one way aisle.

thx for elaborating
