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

When you're looking forward to or excited about something and start talking about it, and people feel the need to bring up something that is stressful and you're not looking forward to. Yes, that unpleasant or stressful thing most certainly is still on my mind. Trust me, I didn't forget just because something else gave me a bit of a reprieve from ruminating on it.
 
simple Chicken+Cheese Quesadilla is over six bucks
I remember 15 years ago, an XL Baja Blast, a grilled stuft burrito, a spicy chicken burrito, and a chicken quesadilla was exactly $7.77 after tax. I don’t eat fast food anymore but fast food costs are out of control. The raw ingredients to make that chicken quesadilla may not even be 50 cents. But every fast food building is now that overly sterile design and you just know that is a factor for jacking costs up.

It’s cheaper and tastes better to cook at home these days. Local restaurants are even cheaper than fast food equivalents. It’s crazy.

Fwiw if you use the taco bell app the boxes are still like $6-9 depending on which one you get and you often get 10% off or free item rewards. I think of all places taco bell is still incredibly cheap.

That said it really pisses me off when they get my substitutions wrong on the order (Putting meat when black beans are selected)
 
"Just join da trades!11!" being touted as a panacea to the job crisis. If it worked out for you, great, now be honest and tell 'em about the 2-4 years you spent making less than a McDick's wagie, the 50 carcinogens you've inhaled on the job, and the fact that you have to work around 40-something divorced alcoholics that gossip like 13 year old girls.

I'm not even saying don't do it, I'm saying there's a lot of drawbacks no one tells you about, and it's not gonna be a good fit for a lot of people.
I see this and other boomerisms on a lot of financial channels and their commenters, and it seems to be unsolicited and poorly researched. These same commenters will complain about "student loan forgiveness" and "the government doesn't need to ban payday loans; you can simply not get them".
Thread tax: I fucking hate how every time I go on X, it's a bunch of crypto spam in my DMs, and people only posting engagement farming. Example: "What's your favorite out of all of these things?" or "Which one of these should be removed permanently?". Shit website.
Its getting that way now on Substack too. The Notes feature just encourages engagement farming, which primarily are those "what are" questions or hating on AI, despite those user 's writings arent dissimilar to a generic ai prompt.


Tax: workplace procrastinators. The workplace had a major inspection that was known about since the 15th. The day of inspection (yesterday), the workplace procrastinator decided to do all the updates to workplace trainings, making sure everything was labelled, and complaining about every minute detail on the AM shift managers side but giving excuses for the PM managers side.
 
I know damn well there's at least one degen at that store who will see that hole in the middle an not hesitate to sodomize my pineapple before selling it to me.
You'll be able to tell who it was, at least; he'll be walking funny and probably crying as the bromelain in the juice is slowly digesting his dick.

At this point anyone who earnestly advocates for the things you mentioned in your post is either stupid or malicious. No, we don’t need Payday loans with 500% interest.

Sadly we’ve gone back to the “book learnin’ is for fags” of the 2000s. This was not how things went for Trump’s first term and it’s pretty obvious how deliberate and top-down it is. All the remotely intellectual stuff can be handled by our pajeets we import by the millions; you white man should just be happy making $20 an hour. Just focus on grilling and rolling coal in your new truck financed through a ten-year auto loan because you’re a faggot if you want to go to school or have any kind of ambition at all.

This whole autism bullshit.

It's like, people can't go an hour anymore without describing a behavior someone has that they're not familiar with as 'Autism'. This is why I'm glad to hear autism research has stopped and everything. Because nobody fucking knows, it's just spamming the word at this point.

People think you're autistic when you devote quite sometime into your hobby beyond hours you expect them to. What about it does it make that Autistic? Someone is just devoted and dedicated. Nothing Autistic about that.

"Why Autistic people love LEGO" - an actual headline to a stupid fuck's blog that's ironically called autisticandunapologetic. Lego is just a fun thing to get into, expensive as fuck sets, but a fun thing to get into. What the fuck makes it autistic to enjoy Lego?

It's like this kind of labeling has gone way too far and it proves my belief that almost everyone on the planet does not know what Autism truly is. I'm not going to claim I know what Autism is, because I don't know either. But I know what isn't Autism and is just plain normal fucking behavior simply because I'm looking around and seeing all of these damn armchair psychologists and therapists around the internet and in person proclaiming what they think Autism is.
 
I don't know what else to call it, but meme/Marvel/internet dialogue in real life...
I was in a conversation at work in which the phrases
  • "So THAT'S a thing"
  • "That's.... certainly a choice"
  • "Yup. This is fine. Everything's fine." (sarcastically)
were all used in about a 3 minute span. To top it all off, one of the worst offenders is my own manager, not some colleague I can more openly poke fun at for it until they stop.
It's always said so theatrically and just to fill time in place of silence, it never conveys anything, and it makes my blood boil just a touch because I prefer to be able to respect people I work under.

I’m betting you work a food job. The best part is when, on top of procrastinating rather than just making these entirely reachable standards SOP, such people try to game the system during the inspection: “If I dump a whole bunch of bleach on the floor, the inspector will think ‘clean’ and we’ll score better!” No, you retard, it’s just going to react with the ammonia-based cleaner that’s already on the floor and at the very least cause respiratory irritation for everyone in the building.

Tax: phone autocorrect.
I type a word that has one letter wrong because I hit the adjacent key: my phone has no idea what word I meant.
I type the exact word I intended exactly as it should be spelled: my phone will automatically change it to something else without fail.

In current year plus ten, having interests in anything that is not currently being pushed by (((the powers that be))) is now considered autism. It basically just feels like general discouragement of taking up any kind of interest in anything.

I mean, autism definitely exists for sure, don’t get me wrong, but it’s increasingly getting used to just describe people that aren’t interested in Taylor Swift and the Slop of the Week.

Way back in the day it used to be called Whedonesque dialogue but it’s so mainstream now.

The thing I hate the most about it is when it corrects words written 2-3 words ago. I’ll look at a shitpost I make here and see certain words or misspellings and eventually realized it’s correcting past words I typed out.
