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

It must not be very hard to get a big rig license because commercial truck drivers are shockingly bad at driving.

It genuinely makes me nervous driving alongside these things because of how reckless these faggots are.

That was discussed on the previous page, with a couple of states handing out commercial drivers licenses to non-residents after covid disrupted transportation.

Aren't trucking companies required to take out substantial insurance on their drivers? How are they getting policies for illegal spics with no documentation?

Not necessarily undocumented but drivers on visas that ordinarily can't get a CDL because they aren't a resident.

When I am lazy and so pick an Apple-created Playlist for Baroque music and half of it is modern or Romantic. A little early Mozart I guess I could allow without getting annoyed, but motherfuckers, Wagner and Philip Glass do not belong there.

Also, when my iPad won't fully recognize it's connected to wifi, and my wifi provider, after telling me to do everything I already did, "escalates" my concern and to wait a few hours for resolution, saar helping me in chat asks me 18 times how pleased I am with his service and says I'm the best customer he's interacted with all day (heart emoji, not even kidding), and 8 hours later I get a text saying they recycled my modem (again), which does nothing, and asking again for how pleased I am with their resolution of my concern. ...Just tell me I need to contact Apple or something, or better yet have staff who can troubleshoot Apple devices ( ).

I hate when people do that. I don't mind people asking you to do a survey, but they fully expect you to give them perfect ratings, not having the experience itself guiding your feedback. Look, I get it. Sometimes, you need feedback with your stats, even if you're doing everything right. But BEGGING for good stats doesn't help you or the customer.

Yeah, and I'm being unnecessarily harsh about him. He did a good job and I appreciate the effort; I'm mainly annoyed it's been 15 hours and I still don't have a resolution. Gearing up for another hour-long convo, this time with Apple, that may very likely end in, "let's see whether you're still in warranty...."

I'd be annoyed with the accent and the issue, saar.

Thread tax: I'm seeing a lot of AI generated images of celebrities that look soulless. Almost like a cloning factory.

FUCK. OFF.

It's actually kind of insane how dysgenic everyone is nowadays. Even a couple years ago when I was in college it wasn't this bad.

Now everytime I step outside it's like a fat and ugly tattoo bomb went off.

When a slow thread's page is on its 19th comment, and nobody wants to move it forward by posting the 20th comment in fear of getting buried at the bottom.

A lot of them are non domicile CDLs or foreign CDLs now. They never go to US trucking school. It's a big issue and there's organizations raising awareness about it.

Thread tax: went to see a movie and the theaters power was out and now I'm having to argue with customer service over email because the app won't let me refund.

An aspect of touch screen society no one brings up that drives me insane is the need, especially from younger people, for the software itself to make sounds while you’re typing. Especially as Opera made it part of their shilling strategy. Took livestreamers from slop as background noise to literally unwatchable. Null’s misophonia has nothing on my hatred of software typing noises.

When they self censor to a point it sounds like another language.
>Did you hear? Her boyfriend unalived her after graping her and said she was a n-slur

You can thank retarded social media censorshit that started this in the first place.

I tip considerably less than I used to these days not because tipping has gotten excessive or because I don't believe in it but because people are massive assholes now.

You couldn't even be fucked to say hi or refrain from rolling your eyes and your ass thinks it's getting a tip? Are you high?

Enjoy your $2.25 an hour you hipster dickhead.

When you ask for specifics, and you only get generalisation in response. When I ask something like "what's the plan to clean this?" I expect some sort of list like "first we'll do this section, then this one and finally we'll do this". The wrong answer is just saying "we'll clean it"

 

[Not A Bunny]

The phrase "In my/your ______ era". It needs to die.

You don't have eras. You just do shit for a period in your life, and eventually, you'll do something else. You just want to make it sound like something about you that you will eventually look back on as cringe is interesting or important, and it makes you sound like an asshole.

Isn’t it annoying how Irish Catholics still cosplay as the woke religion?

"wE'rE pOliTiCaLlY hOmEleSs!!!!" Mostly because no party wants to be seen with you in daylight.

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.

Someone I knew recently broke a tooth and needed an oral surgeon after their dental office said, "Yes, we have one on staff, but we don't want to do the extraction ourselves for reasons." Every oral surgeon that was called about an emergency extraction had no openings available for 2 weeks to two months. Thankfully, the person found a dentist who was more than happy to do it, but it ground gears that people are told to call an oral surgeon only to have none of them willing or able to fit them into their schedule for an emergency procedure.

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.

I discovered a similar scratch on my screen. I suspect I know what did it, but it's annoying to have screens scratch so easily and have it be so prominent when the screen is blank.

. It's horrifying how often I hear people cursing in casual conversation, in front of children even. Dude, really? You're going to say "I'm gonna fuck you so hard when I get home" in front of a 5 year old?

For me, cursing in front of kids is a no-no. I wish more people felt the same way. I purposely went out of my way to avoid cussing in disgust in front of a kid one day only for the dad later on to tell the same kid, "Don't do (whatever), or I'll kick your fucking ass!"

The worst was when I was at a sportsball game and the black guy in front of me spent the whole game heckling a player in front of his 5-6 year old kid by calling the player a fucking nigger every chance he could. Some example there.

There are a lot of things that really bother me about current day, and this is one of them. I have actually made it a point to refrain from swearing at all within the last year or so and I wish more people would do the same. I slip up every once in awhile, but I am doing surprisingly well (unless you count words like: retard, faggot, prick, et cetera). The level of cultural decay that has allowed constant swearing in public to be normalized is really bothersome . When my sister and I took my mom out to a somewhat upscale restaurant for Mother's Day, her husband was dropping F bombs left and right. Is there no standard anymore? I am holding out hope that we start moving back in the right direction soon.

It seems so gratuitous in that people want to drop F-bombs and other profanity without any consequence. And when someone wants to tell them not to do it, they either reply with accusations of tone policing or act all Pikachu face surprised that someone is telling them no.

I think its part of a larger trend of people having no respect for anyone or anything other than themselves which is going to be hard to break given people s overall views on being casual about vulgarities and vulgarness.

Edit to avoid doubleposting

Top 40 hits, boring sports stations, public radio and these religious morons are all that is in existence for radio.

During a recent day trip, my AM station started to fade and all I could find doing a station scan was public/talk radio, some religious guy taking Q&A about current happenings and how Christianity is relevant with them, and other mindless content.

nonamericans obsessing about the US and the US political apparatus are eye rolling and obnoxious.

I recently had a non-American ask me, WTF is wrong with your country?! I replied back that the whole world is a mess right now and they had no answer for that.

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

My bank started requiring passcodes/2FA for my personal accounts but not my business accounts. It makes no sense to me that business accounts with more money/transactions wouldn't get strict security but what do I know?

Are you fucking kidding me? I've had the policies for decades and they're saying they may not be able to send them bc it's been so long. Jfc, I want to read my full current coverage.

I bet if you were to file a claim, they would miraculously be able to find the entire policy to be able to tell you, Per Section 87, Paragraph 536, Subitem 1aj9, we must deny your claim and cancel your policy effective immediately.

Not long ago gen Z was getting roasted on every platform with threads like, "The boomers got it right.” Funny how those dried up.

Turns out they weren’t some sage class of grillpillers. The modern incel movement sprang out of old men who peaked emotionally at 15, sitting indoors because no one wants to walk to them anymore, watching Candace Owens and getting angrier and hornier with no outlet.
