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

Sometimes when I'm driving I get unlucky when it comes to traffic lights, and as a result the lights will always turn yellow at the worst possible fucking time. Like I know if I'm right next to the white line I can probably just go through it fine, but every so often I have to make a split-second decision where I either go through it a little fast or use my brakes a bit harder than I probably should.
Maybe I'm just retarded, I have no idea. There was this one time where it happened 3 times while I was driving to my college and this was going through my head every time I'd approach a light:
 
Going on this site and seeing A&N leaking. I don't care if you hate jeets, kikes, or niggers or are some kind of eugenicist advocating for gingers to be bred out of the human race, but why are you seething about nigger fatigue on a threads about pedo trannies? Latest example I could think of this was A&Niggers seething over the pretty view troon passively mentioning white genocide and great replacement. I saw people writing 5 page dissertations talking about how this random kid was a Imminent and highly dangerous THREAT to the white race over a 2 reply twitter exchange. Nigga, go outside and find a nice white woman to further the glorious white race with instead of digging in your fat folds all day.
 
What feels to be this surge of videos on therapy sessions disguised as skits using therapyspeak on their friends and lovers as if that's how normal people talk in normal conversations. The only thing worse is the comments talking about how "this is mature people expressing themselves". It isn't - it is merely the immature person's thought of a mature person expressing themself.
 
Foolishly hopped onto social media last night and was met with multiple people melting the fuck down and making virtue signals about the "No Kings" protests (or whatever they're called). Funnily enough, most of these people are canadian or australian (reliably, the irony was totally lost on them), and were specifically taking umbrage with orange cheeto hitler.
What I'm curious about is what makes them think they have any space to criticize the government of a country they have no ties to. Nobody cares about the opinions of a bunch of drunks living in a former angloid penal colony, nor about those from a country whose defining attribute is "we're not americans, also import more jeets plx, also it is imperative that we sell our entire west coast to china as quickly as possible"

I take pride in being an apolitical fence-sitting cuckold, but nonamericans obsessing about the US and the US political apparatus are eye rolling and obnoxious. I have to constantly restrain myself from chimping out. It signifies how affluent their lifestyles actually are if they've got the time and means to complain about things, people, and places that will never affect them at all
The one sided feud that some nonamericans have with the average american is deranged. It's literally the "fuck you I hope you die" meme.

Thread tax: Commercials with incompetent husbands, or the entire thing is about how dumb the husband is and his smug all-knowing wife gets to save the day. Gets more grating when the kid joins in on mom's smugness to show how much of a dumbass dad is. The whole entire incompetent dad trope as well, it can be funny if done right, but most of the time these days, it's not funny.
 
I’m not wading into the porn addiction debate because, frankly, it bores me. But I am sick of these kids online throwing around the word fetish like it’s ketchup. Anyone with a DeviantArt account and a wifi connection has a fetish. Saw some weird anime butts or feet? Congratulations, you have a fetish now.

EXCEPT NO, YOU DON'T! A fetish (technically a fetishistic disorder) means you need specific object, body part, or scenario to get off.

Language is meaningless now, so “fetish” has devolved to “category on AO3."

So damn tired of this era of software and technology where it's a fucking pile of updates within a month. Just this month alone, Discord updated approximately 5 or so times. In a month. There had been months where there was a lot more but it has gotten ridiculous. I am used to when if there was a piece of software that ran fine as it is, the only time it ever updates, was when there were a pile of things done for it. Like, new version, what is included? 6 new features, some 20+ bugs fixed, some patches done and perhaps a retool, that is what you call a fucking update.

But we're in this era where if someone so much has a stupid fucking idea and it is always a small insignificant one, they're going to update it and nag everyone to do it. Someone wants to just re-arrange the buttons? Update. Someone wants to change the fucking colors? Update. Someone takes away a feature everyone loved, put it behind a paywall and fuck everyone else? Update.

And why the fuck do versions look stupid, too? I'm used to seeing Version 1.0, 2.0 and so on. Now it's like Version 121de.00001 or 101.000.04. Are you trying to sound advanced?

Oh and I'm fucking sick of "One-Time" passcodes to everything. It is not One-Time, it is Multi-Time, because you're going to be asked everytime to enter some stupid code to verify yourself. My online bank, lets me log in with no verification checks but once I do something like a transfer - verify. That's nice, what if some hacker or something hijacks my bank account? They're going to get access, see what they're not allowed to see, but the only roadblock is a stupid verification system? Not a great security measure.
 
How when I tell my phone to play Blow me Away by Breaking Benjamin on Spotify and it always plays the version where this woman is doing lyrics for it and not the Halo 2 original. Nothing against her I just don't like it. also the comments indicate them releasing this version back stabbed Benjamin and caused the band to breakup.

In March 2010, Hollywood Records requested that the band produce two new master recordings and a greatest hits album, and sought permission to release a new version of the hit song "Blow Me Away" featuring Sydnee Duran of Valora.[6] In May 2011, Fink and Klepaski granted the record company's requests after they were offered a $100,000 payment.[53] Burnley, alleging that Fink and Klepaski acted unilaterally on both the song remix and the compilation album, not informing him or the band's management, fired the two via email, demanding at least $250,000 in punitive fees and compensatory damages, as well as the exclusive right to the name Breaking Benjamin.[53]

 
My dang dishwasher isn't working. It's just me at my house and I wash everything by hand because I don't have a lot of dishes and prefer to do things that way because that's how I grew up, but I went to clean off the control panel tonight and it didn't beep or anything. I reset the breaker, plugged and unplugged it and nothing happened. Looking at the internet and youtubes, it looks like some control panel needs to be replaced. Goddamn chink shit. I've used it fewer than 10 times in the past 5 years, but well fuck me, Piece of shit. It's gonna cost 25% of the MSRP to get the replacement part I think I need, and of course, I gotta order it online so who even fucking knows.

It's not even a big deal since I never use it, but the fact it shit the bed with rarely being used grinds my gears.
