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.
When I was looking for an emergency dentist but the top 20 results were business hours dentists trying to get new patients and I had a broken in half molar on Saturday night. That really ground my gears.
Search engines are complete trash nowadays, especially because people pay to get themselves to the top of the search results no matter how irrelevant they are.
When they don't have an understanding of personal space and are literally breathing down your neck when in line.
I hate assholes that block the aisles, and walk in front of me.
 
People that always cry whataboutism when it comes to animal cruelty. That, or just some fucktarded bullshit to try, and excuse it.

Think puppy mills are fucked up? But you eat meat!

Think zoo animals shouldn't be just stuck in nothing, but shitty concrete cages? They have it so much worse in the wild because of X, Y, and Z!

Think sports like dog sledding, and greyhound racing should be better regulated to help prevent cruelty? How dare you try to stop them from doing something they're bred for?! Don't you know it makes them happy?!

It's just so tiresome.
Someone's been in the YMS thread haven't they?

TAX: New York carpetbaggers. I've worked with two (one who was my boss, one who is a coworker), and theyre so egotistical, talk shit about everyone behind their back just because, throws everyone but themselves under the bus, will wait until your busy to try to have a 20 minute conversation that could be condensed down to a few minutes.
 
I bought an Android tablet on eBay that was undoubtedly stolen or lost by UPS at this point, as the tracking hasn't updated in a week. Really looking forward to talking to Pajeet customer service and then inevitably having to be a pain in the ass and rope the seller into it. Can't fucking wait 9632856242473274-removebg-preview.webp

I checked the tracking after I made this post and the delivery date has been changed from "Please check back later" to Monday, but it's still listed as sitting in the same regional warehouse that it's been in for a week. It was supposed to be delivered last Thursday. Awesome shit.
 
>buy new phone
>buy screen protector because the one that comes with the phone is garbage
>take off garbage
>turn around for one second
>screen is scratched

Now, I have to assume I absent-mindedly touched the screen with something, but even so, the fact that this screen scratched so easily is everything wrong with modern technology. It's not even a little one either. I'm going to be noticing this for years.

"Hello my name Allen, how may I help you, saar?"

Thread tax: When I'm going out to eat with a friend, and the table next to us is shouting at the top of their lungs and we can't hear each other.
 
1. Wavy sidewalks. Just make a sidewalk that's straight or follows the fucking road. This shouldn't be a design aspect. I've never met anyone who was disappointed or bored from walking on a concrete path that went from point A to point B in as direct manner as possible.

Exhibit A.

WTF is the point of this dumb sidewalk? Just make it a straight line!

Double bonus from jettisoning people into the middle of an intersection if they trip and fall while trying to cross the street.

Triple bonus for planting shrubs and trees at every crest so that oncoming foot/bike/scooter traffic is obscured. Genius!


2. Cities that are clearly run by soccer moms (see point 1) who thought it would be cute to plant greenery close to aforementioned sidewalks only to not maintain them so that they start overhanging the sidewalk at the 5- to 7-foot height level, letting branches thwap you in the face or make you duck when you're just trying to enjoy what little joy is left in life by going for a walk or jog.
 
When your at work and someone complains that they have nothing to do out loud and that their bored while everyone else is trying to work and moan even more when you offer them something to do.

"bUT i DOn'T waNT tO Do THat, TeGU"

Guess kill yourself then bitch? I'm probably going to snap sometime this year if I here them bitch one more time.
 
Occasionally I drink with postgrads. Without fail, someone brings up the need for unions. And I sit there giving them that drunk uncle stare.

Because whatever romantic idea I had about worker solidarity got beaten out of me the first time I had to clock in. They’re not workers, they’re little Eichmanns in training. Their actual talents include: ass-kissing, exaggerating minor inconveniences, and trivializing disasters. And God help you if you’re not in their little caste.

Anyone who thinks these people are going to organize is living in goddamn Candyland.
