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

I detest the swarm of gnats I attract around my head 10 seconds after stepping outside this time of year. It would be merely unpleasant if they didn't insist on trying to fly into my nostrils or my eyeballs. I suppose I should get a hand held fan to blow them away from my face because my hands aren't the most effective.

Also, I hate when I can't fall back asleep after waking up in the night. Getting angry about it doesn't help to relax my mind.
 
I had to explain to a Jeet for almost an hour what Active Directory was. His job title was Cybersecurity Infrastructure Engineer I.

He clearly doesn't have anywhere near the level of technical proficiency needed to do his job.

If these people are just seat fillers essentially why can't we hire American high school dropouts to sit there and do nothing?

At least we'd be able to understand them.
 
I hate how every fast food place requires you to place an order using your phone. Or tries to make you. Just give me a fucking cheeseburger. I'm not giving you access to my location and data, suck my cock.
A chain of boomers shouting I DIDN'’T MEAN TO ORDER A MCMUFFIN! HOW DO I GO BACK?! I JUST WANTED A DIET COKE—SOMEBODY HELP ME, THERE’S NO ONE HERE, WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?!” in that whiny Long Island accent.
 
Why are you staring at the sun
Okay, glanced at the sun. You've never seen light reflect from a window?

On the Jeetification of everything.
I'm watching a NASCAR race, one of the pharmaceutical commercials voiceover was done by a female jeet. Talk about not knowing your audience.
I don't know who I despise more, male Indians or female Indians.
 
I don't like buying used games where the case is coated with grime, dirt, God knows what from the previous owner or the shop.
I make sure to coom all over my used games just get my moneys worth if it makes you feel better.

You know what grinds my gears? Nurses, my new job has a particularly liberal and retarded group so the HR department must be absolutely pozzed. Nurses are a special kind of cancer without needing a political leaning to make it worse
 
People who mushmouth on the phone and then get angry when I can't understand what they're saying. It's not an accent thing; you are talking too fast and refusing to enunciate. I wouldn't even have to make this call if they'd picked up the damn digger when they said they would. Oh and that's another thing. For as long as I was in the trades, tool and plant hire was always a fixed length, not this "you always have to call us to return it" bullshit I'm suddenly faced with. I could call to have it sent back early if I wanted, sure, but that would mean I'm wasting money by not using it for every minute I can. It was contracted until 5pm Friday. Why do I still have it on monday? Don't you people understand the liability issues of just leaving your 25k digger on someone's front drive? I've never had to call to return shit at the end of the contract before. There's always been a bloke there with a trailer on the dot, tapping his foot and looking at his watch.

edit: Past 5 and they're still not here. Again. I might just keep this thing.

Messages from random people that just say “hi.” Fuck off.
Or "How are you?". Plain, monotonous going-no-where conversations that always end up dead at that point. People just don't care to understand the level of control and power you could have just engaging with someone else. Not to mention the potential bonding possible, only to piss it away in that fashion.
 
The perpetual escalation of every Bank or Pre Paid Debit Card (I use them for online orders/bill pay keep where i get paid and save away from the internet) of getting your pay check sooner.

"GET YOUR PAYCHECK A DAY EARLY"
"GET YOUR PAYCHECK 2 DAYS EARLY!"

now its

"GET YOUR PAYCHECK 3 DAYS EARLY!"
