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

Literally the day after I graduated from high school I was sleeping in (barely) when some JWs showed up. The one guy asked if I was sick because I was still in my pajamas at 9 am on a Thursday.

This last summer, some Mormons had set a table up near my college and tried to reel me in. I kept walking at a quick pace and finally lost the one missionary who tried to talk to me. I already know what you're selling, dude. Try it on some third worlders who don't know your religion was founded by a oversexed con man.

I see Jehovah's witnesses occasionally in my neighborhood. The other day there was about 10 of them walking around in dress shirts and slacks. I don't know how it manages to stay relevant in this day and age.

I'm not sure if this is still true today, but JWs in the past have had zero interest in other religions' activities and publications.

A pair of JWs visited my grandma once and they wanted her to take a copy of their magazine (I think it's called The Watchtower?). She offered them a copy of her church's weekly publication and proposed a trade. She said they practically jumped off her porch as if she had offered them something poisonous.

Similarly, the neighbor two doors down from me when I was growing up received a visit from JWs. After they made their spiel in one instance, she took her church's weekly publication and started to read to them the different church-sponsored activities being offered that week. She kept reading it to them even after they turned around and left.

Within the past month I had either Mormons or JWs - I'm not sure which - come to the door on a weekend and ask me a religious question as a potential discussion starter. I politely told them I wasn't interested. To their credit, they politely thanked me and wished me well before leaving.

I don't if this has been said before but theft really fucking gets under my skin. Like rapists and pedos are abhorrent but they don't get me really fuming like a thief does. Probably because everyone knows rapists and pedos are awful people so getting truly angry feels redundant. Also because generally speaking you don't have to deal with those kinds of people regularly. But everyone has had shit stolen from them and it's so fucking unfair. Like we spend hours busting our ass working for money so we can buy some shit only for some dipshit to come and take it because they don't wanna follow the rules of society. Armed robbers are worst. Putting people through life-changing trauma because you wanna score a few hundred bucks. If you're gonna rob a place at least do it in the middle of the night when no one's around. Fucking hell.

FTFY.

I'm supposedly not on my pharmacy's auto-refill system. For whatever reasons, I still get calls telling me that they've refilled a prescription for me - usually well before I need it. The latest instance saw me get a 3-month supply of a medication only to have the pharmacy call me a month later with another refill for that particular one. I invariably call back to tell them I don't need the refill yet and I'll call when I do need it. Yet when I once asked to be removed from the automated refill process, the person on the other end claimed I'm not on it. So why am I getting these calls, then? ?

A lot of people mistake them simply because they aren't what people are used to. They are people like everyone else and very nice. It frustrates me when people act like they are weird incels simply for having a certain set of beliefs, very peaceful beliefs might I add.

Having them knocking on the door to talk about their beliefs is better than another religion trying to blow you up for not believing what they do.

At least CVS gives you an option to opt out online.

People taking big ass bites and then chewing, eating and swallowing so loudly I want to rip their jaws from their fucking faces. Be discreet motherfuckers. Nobody wants to listen to your gross eating sounds.

Oh, and people who actually write 'defiantly'. What sort of accent do you need to have to think that 'definitely' is spelt 'defiantly'? It's a completely different word!

Sniffling. If you're the kind of person who sits in a quiet room sniffling and snorting all day long then I fucking hate you in the most wall-punchingly autistic way possible. It's especially bad when you can tell they're not even sick and they just do it out of a completely pointless habit.
