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

[FrogMinutes]

Use your fucking words, the reason why I can't help you is that you decided to play charades

*nods respectively

Having to piss

you're really telling me that you don't like taking a fat steamy piss after a big drank?
that's one of the 3 aspects of relief we're allowed on god's earth
shitting, pissing, and snoozing

are you a fucking alien? or just fat?
does your fat ass drink 3 pounds of soda every day? and you pass a piss stone every 30 minutes?
shut the fuck up, stop shtting on peeing
don't talk shit about piss.

You ever notice black guys always play scratch-offs instead of picking Powerball numbers? No waiting around for some multi-state drawing three days from now.

And when they finally win? Five bucks. Meanwhile they're spent eighty.

Adding to the YouTube comments gripes, I've always found it inappropriate and, more recently, downright offensive when people bring up a personal tragedy in the comments of a video that has nothing to do with such things. It always feels like they're using the death of a loved one or their mother's awful decline into dementia as sympathy and upvote bait.

Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy (Official Music Video)

Comment 1: whose listening in 2023

Comment 2: WHo is stioll listaning in 2024=???

Comment 3: Anyone still listening in 2025?

Comment 4: I love this song so much. My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago. It was just devastating for us all. His health rapidly declined and he went through months and months of indescribable pain. Last week, he eventually passed away. I remembered how he used to enjoy this album when it came out, so I'm listening to all the songs now thinking of my dear old dad!

Comment 5: any1 still listerine in 2026?

I recently saw this in a livestream of all places -- everyone was having fun, the streamer was laughing and joking, reading chat comments out loud, and suddenly hits a "hey man my dad died and your videos have really been helping me take my mind off it."
It was so baffling because the streamer started reading the message primed for it to be a joke, and slowly realized it wasn't and had to immediately change his tone. It was so awkward that I had to close the stream. I feel a bit bad saying it bothers me since they're clearly distraught if they're doing something that odd, but still...

More generally, stream audiences who treat streamers like their friends, and *especially* streamers who allow and play into that. I feel like every decent youtuber/streamer I find inevitably gets popular enough to attract these insane parasocial types who think they made a new friend, and the streamer fails to shut that shit down ASAP. Before you know it, you can't tune into a stream without people tipping 20 bucks to tell the streamer how much they cheered them up or helped them through so and so life event. I just wanted to listen to a funny person talk over some video games. Bonus points if chat members bring up political/personal issues and expect the streamer to respond, basically cornering them into saying something they'll likely regret, or ignoring the audience and looking like an asshole.

"hey man my dad died and your videos have really been helping me take my mind off it."

dude, this is the funniest bit you could do if you know when to do it.
go find the most retarded video imaginable, and randomly go
"dude, your retrospective review of catdog really got me through some hard times brother. my cat just died, My dog is autistic and my dad's got a bum knee, thanks man, thanks for talking about catdog."

So do old-farts with nothing better left to do in their aging lives. Just hoping to make it big one time so they can have their proper retirement. You have a better chance of winning anything big if you live in big cities/states, than you do anywhere else. Most of the big powerball/megabucks winners happen to be in Indiana. Either way, both of them have to be rigged to some degree.

The Ohio valley can kiss my ass. Every time the weather forecast shows a few days of sun and warm weather, it shows rain or storm right before those days come up.

Fuck allergies too.

I order a pizza, it never shows up. I call the place the next day, they said they handed it to me. If I received my order, I would not have called. The driver had the audacity to tell me if I put in the right address. As if I don't know my own address or know if a delivery was successful.

>Good morning!
>Silence or quiet good mornings
>Oh! I know you can do better than that, let's try again. GOOD MORNING!
>More halfassed good mornings
>One more time! I know you can be louder! GOOD MORNING
>Yelling loud enough that it hurts my ears
Oh to be a motivation coach or whatever the fuck her role is called to be brought in to waste our time. Forcing us to do icebreakers based on our birthday months. I excused myself to the bathroom constantly during this shit.

Stupid ass bitch retard Nintendo fan boys. Hey, asshole. Between sessions of deep throating Nintendo and swallowing gallons of Nintendo jizz, maybe fucking take a deep breath and touch some sand, you whore.

Fuck them. Fuck them all. If I tell you I'm not hyped or interested in the new Switch, you respect that and leave me alone instead of badgering me into buying the fucking Switch 2 at launch. I told you that I don't buy shit at launch.

If that's such an issue for you, just buy me stupid thing or shut the fuck up and leave me alone. It's my money. I will decide if and when I buy the stupid console.

Fucking stop when I ask you to stop instead of sperging on about how I gotta buy it because I will be entertained for decades or whatever. So?

Dude it's just a gaming console, not the grand library of Alexandria. Peach is not going to fuck you.

I cannot believe I'm getting irritated over something as inconsequential in the grand scheme of life as motherfucking Nintendo of all fucking things.

What the fuck? What the actual fuck?

Speaking of bad deliveries, this happened just this week: A friend ordered something off of Amazon. Status eventually shows up as "delivered" but no package has actually arrived. He asks neighbors including me if one of us took it in. Not the case. He eventually finds the package in the backyard covered by some plastic that looked like garbage.

The delivery person had dumped the package in the garden and then covered it up with some plastic, presumably to protect it from rain, without even making a note of it.

That we have massive storms heading my way overnight and into tomorrow, meaning neither me or my old dog will get any sleep. My dog has become terrified of storms and even giving her two (vet prescribed) trazadone won’t calm her down. Poor girl just shakes and shakes and tries to crawl all over me. I’m not aggravated with her at all as she can’t help it. I’m just aggravated because there’s nothing I can do to help her.

I'm going to support this by adding that generally any gamer that does this.


"ARE YOU HYPED FOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF THIS GAME THAT SHOULD'VE STOPPED A LONG TIME AGO?!"
"GET THIS GAME SO WE CAN PLAY!!"
"DUDE YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS GAME!"
"MAN JUST SPEND YOUR LIFE'S SAVINGS ON UPGRADING YOUR PC! IT'LL MAKE YOUR DICK HARD!"

For fuck sakes, I'm an adult, not some teenager or young adult in a family that is like living in a rich suburban neighborhood where you can afford shit. I've got my car, my rent, my bills, my insurances, my loan payments and other expenses to deal with. Getting a new video game or getting a new console, is dead last on my list of must-get. I used to have bought multiplayer games before, with the promise that me and a couple friends would play. It never fails that they're moving on to the next latest and greatest multiplayer game, while leaving me to tend with the game I just finally got around to buying because god forbid I'm micromanaging life to give much of a shit. It's just wasteful spending and I long stopped chasing that shit.

It's astounding how much you save over the course of a lifetime by purchasing* things once they've been upgraded a time or two. Even one step behind the curve saves a lot and two saves even more. Dimes on the dollar and all that.

It is incredibly frustrating. In truth, any blind hype is frustrating. And whatever if Joe Schmidt wants to waste his life savings on that, godspeed. Just don't expect me to do the fucking same because I got rent and bills and medicine and food and adult shit to pay.

Brand worship is the weirdest thing. The autist trying to goad me into buying the Switch kept going on and on about how Nintendo will change the industry and the switch will entertain the masses for decades to come or whatever. Nintendo fans are particularly bad at this fetishistic glazing.

And it becomes extra frustrating when you flatout tell them money is tight and they will even act offended if you're the type of person that likes to wait for a price drop even if you even bother.

That actually goes for everything. Even fashion or books. When Fifty Shades was big I had people try to goad me into buying the books because of stupid hype.

Indeed.

Just to piss hype beasts off, I've gotten to telling them to buy me the newest tech in exchange for joining their retarded cult if they are so hung up on my participation. I'm not that important but whatever.

They sure keep their retarded mouths shut after that.

Earwax building up on your headphones or earbuds. Disgusting.

Unleashed dogs and persistent strangers. I don’t let my dog meet strange dogs (or people) because he’s massive (100+ lbs) and you never know. I am not being mean, yes I know he’s beautiful, that’s part of why I bought him, but no we don’t meet people on walks. Not even if you ask nicely, not if you’ve never seen one before, not if they’re your favorite, not if you pay me compliments, no, not at all.

So control your fucking dog and stop letting it run at us.

I have two (badly) skinned knees from getting away from an off-leash dog and tripping, and this isn’t even the first time it’s happened. Other people blow.

Being a non-medical person working in a medical setting, still they make us all take monthly ongoing training video lessons. I'm fine with that: I think it is important to regularly talk about stuff like that.

The thing is that the trainings are actually too hard. Half of my department fails the SUPER easy tests and bring me the little work laptop for me to pass the test for them/answer the questions. INCLUDING my own boss. And so it's just wasted. The fact that they're failing these little 5 question comprehension checks shows they have basically zero understanding, let alone retention.

It would be really easy to get "blackpilled" and go "oh it's so bad that people are too stupid for these easy things" but that's not how ongoing training should work. These are dishwashers, servers, housekeepers, ladies that call bingo. You shouldn't be writing lessons that say "It is critical to not inappropriately substitute ABHR when it goes against hygiene protocols as this can lead to increased rates of illness." I don't expect people to be that literate. You don't need to use a formal, medical vocabulary to teach people making minimum wage when to wash their hands.

What they mean btw is "You can't always use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands." If the lesson just said that, then these people might actually learn and retain something. But instead it's just kinda useless. You should design lessons for the people who are going to receive them.

A lot of the lessons are about preventing abuse and they're also written with such lofty language and chock-full of all these formal terms. I can almost guarantee that a lesson that goes "When you think about hitting a resident, leave the room, call for backup, and discuss with your supervisor how you can avoid getting in such a stressful situation in the future" would be more useful than listening to 20 minutes of "Aggressive thought patterns are detrimental to patient safety and satisfaction. Monitor your stress patterns to be able to maintain a professional demeanor." That's total gibberish to the black woman with a 5th grade reading level who wipes grandma's ass. My coworkers shouldn't have to hunt down the Guy Who Reads Big Words Real Good to decipher their monthly message to wash your hands.

People who constantly are apologetic or make excuses for thieves.

“But ThE iNsUrAnCe WiLl CoVeR it!?!?!?”
“Your FaUlT fOr DrIvInG aN eXpEnSiVe CaR!?!??!”

They’re right in that store wagies don’t get paid enough to deal with methbilly shoplifters. Constantly turning a blind eye to theft though doesn’t mean the store can just constantly eat the costs and come out ok. Eventually they’re just gonna say “fuck this shit!” and close up shop or move elsewhere. Then these same cretins will make surprised Pikachu face and start bleating about food deserts and how greedy and cruel they are. Not to mention the increased costs of items and constant hassle of putting everything behind locked glass because theft is so bad.

Someone who has nice things shouldn’t have to feel guilty about owning nice things because some scumbag decided they need it more or have to argue with retards saying shit like “consider yourself fortunate you can afford it when so many others struggle to survive! Where’s your empathy!”

Bottom line, I hate thieves, and their enablers. I’m sorry your parents were such failures that they couldn’t teach you the simple fact that taking what doesn’t belong to you is wrong.

 

[Spangled Drongo]

K-pop and its entire fandom and how ubiquitous it's become. It simultaneously pisses me off and makes me feel bad for South Korea that their whole entire culture and history has been boiled down to nothing but a shitty music industry that abuses its stars thanks to the teenyboppers who obsess over the slop they produce. Can't look up a single thing about South Korea without running into a Koreaboo these days. And you can't just think the songs are catchy, there's the expectation that you follow everything your favourite group does, be able to tell the group members apart even when they're all dressed the same with the same haircut and have gone to the same plastic surgeon, pick a favourite band member, watch every single drama they have an acting role in, buy all the merchandise... you get the picture. Almost fell for the hype when I was younger, realised quickly it was ridiculous, and it's only gotten worse since then. I don't even think Japan got it this bad back in the day when Naruto and Vocaloid weebs were everywhere.
