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

[Super Guido]

Does anyone have good toilets at work?

Sometimes, but not always, holding down the flush lever for a bit helps to get the waste flushed.

Sex positive people are only sex positive for women. If youre a dude with a slightly off base kink or are still a virgin, you still get bullied and mocked.

I love it when people who claim to be sex positive use "tiny pp" as an insult. It's even funnier when it comes out of nowhere because they're losing an argument that you were being civil in the entire time.

Spoiler

I only use it when some asshole rigs their car to be loud. Your dick's not that big, faggot!

Both right wingers and left wingers are getting increasingly comfortable using censorship to "own" their political opponents and it's making me uncomfortable.

 

[AnOminous]

Naturally, this makes sense. The problem is the prevalence of warped views - that autists current day people take literally of "how men are" and "how women are."

Nothing is really 100% but you can often read something written by a woman or a man and say "no actual woman would say all this" after about two pages.

When a comedy goes too far with the punching bag character and it just transitions to being plain cruel. It's funny when a fatrick type gets his comeuppance, but it's because they're an asshole. It's not when someone is just getting everything they ever done shit on no matter what.

I always feel confused because a lot of times the character is doing nothing wrong, or at least not enough to warrant all of existence shitting on them. It's way more cathartic to make these characters assholes, but writers seem hesitant to do that for some reason.

The first mosquito bite of the season, because where I live the mosquitoes are mutant monsters that, instead of a little dime-sized raised area, leave a silver-dollar-sized thick lump under the skin.

Also thinking that 40 leaf bags left over from last year would be enough for spring beds and naturalized planting area cleanup, but running out with definitely 30-40+ more needed.

I don't see the banana split blizzard on dairy queens menu anymore. What the fuck happened?

The average Canadian's smug air of moral superiority.

When you look online for "Things to do in XYZ region" and every fucking result is just food. I like having a meal as much as the next guy, but how many fucking times a day can you realistically eat? After I've had a lunch or dinner, what else is there to do? I can't just hop from one restaurant to another constantly.

My stupid bite has been weeping all afternoon and is hot, though the weeping seems to have relieved the hard lump somewhat. I think there were actually tiny blisters on the top.

Monsters!

Are you American? Many burgers do just that because LOL FAT!

Don't jinx us with that yet. I'm already not looking forward to applying sunscreen every time I go outside.

Rivertuner statistics server always pops up on booting the pc wanting to update. I've been ignoring it for years, but the other day I clicked ok, it redirected me to the download page, downloads, click install and then it's telling me to close 746474 programs and background processes in order to be able to update. Even processes not shown in the task manager. Fucking bullshit. I'll never get an update then.

Oh good, another app I didn’t ask for that I can’t delete unless I perform a ritual involving three settings menus and a goat.

Saw my sister cut/sand down mould lines/cast errors/whatever on some plastic doodads she got for her friend. Great how we fucking got to the point you need to work on things you paid money for.

I'm convinced that a lot of retail stores are going out of business because their websites don't fucking work on mobile devices at all. The interfaces lag. The pages don't load correctly. It constantly logs you out. It never remembers the zip code you put in to find a store near you. Generally just slow as shit. How

 

[WhoBusTank69]

When something is out of stock but they still have it listed, specifically without that disclaimer, so they can get clicks. Fuck you, you mother fuckers. This is why nobody buys your shit anymore.

I feel I have something hanging from my nose, only for it to be nose hairs. Now I have to trim my nose.

The Jews at Pepperidge Farms sell hot dog buns in packs of six. Normally, this would run counter to the Jewry of selling packs of eight so you have to buy more.* However, this is offset by the Jewry of selling them for almost twice as much as the ones I usually get!

*Buying three packs of one and two of another doesn’t impact me too much. Hot dogs are an easy hot sandwich so I can go through 12 in less than two weeks.

Ordering the shrimp tackle box at Popeyes. You will wait three times as long as everyone else because no one else orders it. And because no one else orders it, they don’t have any ready. And because they don’t have any ready, you’re essentially asking them to start fishing.
