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

[Ethereal Eye]

Well...this is something I've seen probably twice. "Additional tips". So there is an Asian restaurant and a seafood restaurant I've ordered food from before. You'd think that giving them their tip online would be the end of it and they would fuck off. Well, nope. They still have the gall to give you a receipt to sign along with a "tip" option DESPITE the fact that you've already tipped them online. The Asian restaurant I brushed off, but the seafood restaurant with the "Additional" tip option just felt like a kick to the dick. Talk about shameless.

It's not just video games. Books, food, random knickknacks. Why buy something I'm not even going to use?

This is funny, but my sister is a genine one due to thyroid issues, and she gets pissed off if you make a crass joke or refer to something sexual (she also literally cannot comprehend the concept of certain things being obscene, like people wearing buttplugs outside, I imagine fetishes appear completely alien to her or something), which drives me up the wall.

This is a bizarre combination. She gets upset at obscene humor, but also can't recognize some things as being obscene? How does she decide which jokes to be mad about?

People who find the need to make cute little nicknames or alternative names for every little thing. I just saw someone call Amazon "The 'Zon".

I think she just has my mom's retarded mood swings (you can repeat same thing at different times and she may get mad or may not) on top of that bizarre asexuality crap, and justifies it so she is "not like mom".

Stop trying to play fucking cupid with me, focus on your marriage instead of my love life. I will know when I see the person I love and I will let fate decide from there. This includes showing me random people that "would interest me." after many times I say I'm not interested.

I had a woman at a job a long time ago do this to me. She was in her 50s at the very least, and I was above her in position and much younger than her. She would ask me why I was single and what I thought about x y z person at work and if I had any crushes. I was surprised by it, not offended or anything, she was doing it in a Mom type way is the best I can describe it. I am glad she stopped, can't imagine someone doing that all the time. It's definitely awkward, unprofessional, and uncomfortable.

I don't normally interact with my coworkers because they're both indiscriminately bad people and annoy me in particular, but whenever someone does talk to me their sole intent is to vent and rant in my direction about the gossip and drama in the workplace. That's great, I don't care, and if I get any more involved than acknowledging that Joan is making passes at Charlie unbeknownst to Sara, other people are going to see that as an excuse to bitch at and make shit up about me I know how all this goes just fuck off.

 

[Fyrnite]

Self-righteous faggots that get up in your face online to call you things they don't know the meaning of or the proper context to use them in. I was posting somewhere about how I decided to give up on dating entirely because I wasn't sure if I had it in me to devote time and what resources I have to make whatever the next relationship to work. I felt getting into relationships is not the best course of action when there's so much there on the table for me right now to deal with.


And this random loser seemed to have perceived that as being an incel move. Which makes me believe that we've now have spammed so many times, the same amount of words like 'Nazi', 'Toxicity', 'Incel' .etc that most don't even fucking know what they mean or where or what to use them on and with. And this kind of behavior is going to spiral downwards even further now that education has been fucked with, not that it matters since a lot of younger generations surrender themselves to newspeak and whatever their influencer tells them what is what. I've grown completely numb to these spammed words that it's like "yeah okay whatever".

I've gotten called all sorts of ideologies and I still don't get what I did to be called any of those.

Thread tax: When they microwave god knows what jeet food in the breakroom, and then walk out of the room with their food, making the entire place smell horrible.

I hate this kind of dynamic in the workplace. Like even if you try to stay out of it, they find a way to cast you in their silly melodrama anyway. And half the time their issues with other people aren't real problems, it's imagined slights.

I'd kill for someone to play cupid for me. You know how awful apps are?

Thread tax: People don't talk to each other like humans anymore. I feel like I've had an upswing of encounters lately where people just find it easier to repeat what they said as if you didn't hear them the first time rather than have a conversation in the event they might be liable for something.

Case in point: I wanted to buy a rear mount bike rack for my car. If I went to a bike store and asked for a specific model, okay, cool, here's my credit card (they were out of stock).

If I specified my car, I'd get people acting like if there was a rack available, it would be contraband to me because it wasn't "fit" for my car.

As if hatchbacks and hook technology are somehow such precision instruments that j-rigging them would be like the collision of matter and anti-matter.

The reason that was repeated to me three times was "the manufacturer is considering the safety of your bike and your car". Well then fine, make me sign a waiver, but don't act like I failed a fucking background check.

Same thing with my internet service provider. They upped my bill because the "promotion" for my rate was over, despite the fact that the website was advertising the rate I was paying and they couldn't find me a new "promotion" that didn't involve autopay (you fuckers don't get that courtesy if you're going to raise my rates).

I feel like I'm becoming a Karen, sure. But I swear, people need to stop giving me good reason.

I know too well. The apps are tiresome and another thing that grinded my gears, I barely bother with them now.

Thread tax:
>Back in my day, we actually worked and that allowed us to buy a house!
>I worked, did not complain, and I got an excellent wage from my WORK!
>You young people are so lazy! You didn't hear me complaining out there back then!
What he left out is that he and his wife both had generous wages and have a generous pension from their unions. The factory job he had is more than likely somewhere in The Philippines or India, and it's not going to return no matter what. Yes, he also gave me the "Look at them straight in the eye, firm handshake" advice.

 

[Not A Bunny]

I barely bother with them now.

The only reason why I still bother with them is that I lack a third space to meet people.

My hobbies are my hobbies. People tell me I should go there looking for companionship but I don't want to yuck them up that way.

Singles events are fucking expensive and eventually you kind of wonder why you need to pay so much money for what everyone else seems to have gotten for free.

I feel like I missed my chance in 2019 to hook up with someone for realsies before COVID. That shit just changed the social landscape and most people won't notice for decades.

I absolutely despise individuals who go out of their way to insult someone's religion when it wasn't warrented, nor asked for. I typically ignore these people but it still grinds my gears when I hear some smug atheist or someone of another faith continuously slam dunk on Christianity as if I personally wronged them for things we werent alive for. They always make it a point to bring up the crusades, or the Alphabet Mafia Oppression as if I personally had a hand in that. It is irritating that they cannot seperate the faith from the extremists who make it look bad. But if anyone dares to criticize Helenistic Practices or other niche religions, or god forbid other Abrahamic Religions, people just get so testy and blow up.
"Punching Down" is not real. I don't believe in or subscribe to that nonsense. No one is exempt from criticism, and I am fine with religious critique, but half the people who blab about "If God Good, Why This Bad?" have no idea what they are talking about and are uneducated twits.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Today I went to feed the ducks with Mrs and Baby Sword at a local pond and some retarded niggerfaggot male Karen had the gall to come up to us and complain about what we were doing trying to tell us it was illegal (it's absolutely NOT illegal).

Sure, there were signs posted, but they said "please don't feed the waterfowl" not even a rule, more like a polite suggestion. I simply told him, "no, it isn't" and just kept on doing it.

Granted, this retard was fishing at the pond in his commercial work vehicle. He whined about it for another couple minutes and then went back to his fishing, but he kept giving us the stink eye.

I would have gladly antagonized him but Mrs Sword hates confrontation, so I held back and we left after a few minutes (there weren't many ducks anyway).

People need to stfu and mind their own business.

The amount of reactions I get when I mentioned going to a Catholic school. They assume I'm going to start being the most conservative person and act all freaked out, or they think I'm going to expose the "horrors of Christianity." When in reality, I just mention I had a very good education there and was happy with what I learned and that they treated the non catholic students very kindly.

Thread tax:
>"That smells good, can I have it?"
No, you can't.

I went to a United Methodist Private School and when I tell people I went to a religious school they always assume it's like a Drama TV Show where nuns beat us. It was very detached from religion unless we chose to go to Bible Study as an extracurricular. Otherwise they were very accepting of Troons and Alphabet Mobsters. Very kind and patient people who funded our school as well.

People's perception of religious academic institutions are from outdated sources and one in a million happenings.
