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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I feel like I'm in this thread a lot because there's a teeny tiny Sam Kinison in me ready to rip for all the shit I've been dealing with lately.

Adding to the endless fucking parade of people getting on my nerves are the people in my condo association with their campaigning to hand over my vote to a proxy for the new association president. It felt a lot like pressure, really. Like, fuck y'all. I don't give up my vote to anyone.

Convince me to vote for your candidate.

Christ, campaigning for proxy votes should be illegal.

Maybe this has been said before...but waitresses with long ass fake nails.

I have seen it every single god damn time I've gone out (which is a fairly rare treat) within the last 6 months at least, and every god damn time their nails extend over and actually touch the top side of the plate. One bitches nails were even so long she could barely grab the menus off the podium to seat us and took a good 15+ seconds to do what should have taken half a second.

You can't tell me they don't get crust from wiping themselves caked under them and/or dunk those talons in other people's foods all day and swapping crusty mashed potatoes or whatever everywhere.

Getting to the point of even thinking of going full Karen and leaving a note for the manager or something if I see it again. It absolutely baffles me that not only is this allowed in any sort of restraunt setting, but that it's so god damn common.
 
It fucking pisses me off when I go to look up the book, and the only results are for some faggot movie that came out during my adulthood (an era of only faggot movies).
That reminds me of how fucked a lot of search engines are, to do similar things. You can't look up the word 'Skillet' without bringing up the rock band. It is like any curiosity you have to search for, it is contorted into a realm of hobby or interest instead that is unrelated. And this shit is all over the first page, on top of AI generalization and on top of stupid-ass questions people ask about said thing.

TT: Entitled online pirates annoy me and have annoyed me for years. The pirating scene has had its balls kicked in numerous times since last year as we've seen some big names fall that we once thought were impervious to being taken down like the Pirate Bay. And the community seems to be mostly compromised of e-beggars and freeloaders who take more than they contribute, to where they act so surprised when this shit is taken down. They don't care at all for the time and effort it took to run these platforms to distribute to all that download from them. It is just "giv me free shit plz kthxbye" and I get it, that's the entire reason for pirating at all while some have more of a varied assortment of reasons to pirate.

I just hate the people who you know have to ask the question "what do I need to download torrents?" before they ask a hundred other questions about where they can get X because Y reasons. Furthermore, they run their fucking mouths off so much that they could be attracting attention to interested parties who later make it their goal to take down the sources of which we download from. And that is how sometimes, this take down shit happens. They all scatter away like cockroaches covering their asses while turning around proclaiming how they support the cause. They don't, just shut up and say it loud and proud that you're here for free shit, like we all are. You do not care about consumer rights, you don't care about anything about what The Pirate Bay stood for or anything.

You beg and beg, take and take, we lose more sources faster than we're gaining. While piracy in of itself is going to continue to exist, I predict down the road, that it's going to get more harder than it used to have been 20 years ago. And it'll be thanks to these fucks.
 
When people are looking for a new car and decide it's an endlessly fascinating topic that should dominate literally every conversation you have with them. I can't think of anything I give less of a shit about than what car you buy. Whether it's a Toyota Camry or a fucking Rolls Royce, just pick one and move on with your life!
Or when somebody tells you to not talk about something, then THEY talk about it TO you.
 
Anti-nostalgia faggots.

There's a growing number of people online that completely dismiss anyone's longing for the past in any form with "You're just wearing rose-tinted glasses! You just miss when you were young! There were always problems!" Even despite actual evidence and testimonies to [X] being better in the past. It's beyond infuriating and REEKS of complacency with the status quo and copium, I fucking hate it.
 
I hate how nothing seems to really stick when it comes to trends in clothes, music, movies etc. Even I personally had my own interests, people would talk about whatever new band or group came out for months or a game or movie. Now everyone needs to move onto the next topical discussion of debate, the next meme or movie and show from streaming services. All the accessibility has made things feel hollow and ironically more vapid and lonelier than ever.
It sucks worse when your friend group would endlessly hype up something like a game , and by the time you saved up enough money to get the game (said friends are Normies), theyve moved on to an entirely different obsession.
People who constantly suicide bait.
I've just learned to ignore them and the Debbie downers. No matter how many times you help them out and give advice, all they do is ignore it and wallow in the pigpen day in and day out, without any thought of leaving the pigpen.

It's mainly left leaning redditors going "ackshually" whenever someone dares to want clown world to be less clowny. They'll do that, or if you mention sports or music, how people are more "technically/athletically gifted" nowadays, while still not being as good as the old guard.

TAX: I have two:

1. How sexualized stuff has been less sexy. Sure I'm coming off as an incel prude here, but there's no subtlety or eroticism. It just seems to be like that fuddruckers to buttfuckers joke in Idiocracy.

2. Everyone hyperfixating on red and green flags. Theyre good to look out for, but now it's just everyone either A.) filming themselves "being a great (insert romantic role here), or B.) showing an edited clip of a random couple for the world to judge.

EDIT: A third would be the lingering fatigue and mucusy cough after a cold. I want to do stuff without wanting a nap every 5 minutes, and it always lingers several days after everything else is fine, no matter how many supplements, vitamin c, or other medicines you throw at it

Those are from generations who never knew or never will know how actually good previous generations before them have had it. Generations today, love the idea of consumerism, love the idea of replacing shit every X number of years when there had been things built that still last into today. They're used to being told to 'CONSUME' because that's why they happily are branded 'Consumers' because they gotta consoom.

And anyone from those previous generations that are touting that message are just plain retarded who live in a constant state of denial and delusion. Those representing past generations have at least the balls to admit that maybe not everything from the past was great, but what we did have that was great, was fucking awesome. Unlike generations today who aren't equipped with that trait. It is either the best fucking thing ever or the worst fucking thing ever, there's no room for a middle ground.
People who constantly suicide bait.
The worst ones are those who knowingly do it with intent on getting someone criminally charged because they know that if someone dares them to do it, when they're just being called out, is guilty by promoting a suicide attempt charge.

The best method is to just cut these angsty people away, if all that they're going to do is this shit. It's not your fault if it is no longer your problem. And if you really do have a conscious and want to do the right thing while still distancing yourself, just throw them the hotline number and walk away. They can't say that you didn't try helping them, even though they will say so anyways. But it won't be your problem anymore.

Here comes little Captain Torrent with a sword of JUSTICE! They’re the SAME KIDS who used to raise their hands in class and go, 'Uh, Miss Thompson, weren’t you gonna give us homework today?' YOU'RE THE KID WHO RUINED RECESS FOR EVERYONE! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Now they're online, crying about DRM, screeching in forums: 'I downloaded the game early and it's not working! I can't connect to the servers! FIX IT, I DESERVE SERVICE!'

YOU STOLE IT!!
YOU. STOLE. THE. DAMN. THING!!


You downloaded it from some shady-ass site hosted in a cave in Romania next to a Bitcoin mine run by raccoons — and now you want technical support?!

You're like a guy who breaks into a restaurant at night, cooks himself a steak, and then complains to the cops that it was undercooked! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Faggots who don't even attempt to look busy. Cunt I don't care if you do any work or not. I care that if you are so obviously fucking off, it'll come down on ME and the rest of us and we'll lose what leeway we have because YOU were such a dumb, lazy cunt you couldn't even be bothered to go to your little goblin cave in the warehouse.

Also fuck these faggot audio book narrators who roll their R's. You aren't good at it. You sound like that nerd owl in the tootsie pop commercials.

I hate when they get celebrities to read books. The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is narrated by Dennis quaid and he sounds drunk. The only celebrity I want narrating books and who sadly doesn't is Michael Ironside.
 
You know what really grinds my gears? People who have their weddings on holidays: Fuck You.

I don't give a rats anus if it's cheaper. I have only a handful of holidays in the year and the last thing I want to do is have to travel to your shitty overpriced wedding. You are not doing anyone a favor by "giving them an extra day to recover". You are wasting my time by infringing on it when I could be doing literally anything else better.

The worst part is that they're right on some level. Somethings were worse back then, but that doesn't change the fact that things that were better back then are way, way worse now.

Thread Tax: That the weather can't stay consistent lately. Every other day is either swelteringly hot, or chilly af.
 
Everyone trying to turn YouTube comments into a congressional hearing.

"No tattoos, 100% natural!" Finally, someone brave enough to post this under Cyndi Lauper.

"Must be LA!” You ever been to a city before? They all have garbage, Derek!

"You could never make this today because of the snowflakes!" If someone pitched Jodie Foster Runs a Speakeasy Full of Children today, this person would scream about Hollywood grooming kids.

Honestly this is why I enjoy things in isolation at my own time. I don't really like the constant upkeep of the media zeitgeist and I sort of hate that everyone else just gleefully moves on to the next without care for the other thing they left behind.

It's an endless cycle of shallow hype consumption.
Obvious degenerates posting their fetish material as le funni. Sure, you saw the gay poop porn accidentally and found it hillarious, I totally believe ya.
Or people that constantly horny post and don't really have any form of decorum.

I will say though in the same vein I dislike people that are overly prude. Mainly because those people tend to act as if they are moral guardians of humanity. It's even worse when they try to bring religion in over it.

They are the worst. Especially when they use it for malicious purposes. Manipulation and pity fishing.
You can't tell me they don't get crust from wiping themselves caked under them and/or dunk those talons in other people's foods all day and swapping crusty mashed potatoes or whatever everywhere.
I was reminded of doing a bacteria test in high school and it was discovered that phone screens and nails, especially long nails were smorgasbords for bacteria.

Anyway thread tax: fucking everything. Idk today I'm just in a unhappy mood.
 
This seems to be a condition mostly affecting the elderly, but bringing up Trump out of nowhere. You could just be talking about your weekend and BAM, some grey topped old fart starts whinging about the latest nothingburger where some irrelevant has-been said god knows what about trump. I DON'T CARE. Your life may revolve around him but mine doesn't. We don't even live on the same continent as the guy, who gives a shit?
