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

[Meat Poultry Veg]

Indian recruiters.

I started getting their emails years ago when I was actively job searching. Although I have gotten real interviews with real managers after going through an Indian recruiter, 95% of the time Indian recruiter emails are just spam. It has gotten so bad that I ignore emails with Indian names by default even if they aren't recruitment emails.

When you're quite knowledgeable on a subject and trying to teach or explain it to someone, and some random idiot with zero experience in the subject comes along and either starts spouting off like they're an expert, giving completely false information; or they confuse facts with opinions and present their opinions like they're fact. Extra rage points if the person you were originally teaching believes the idiot over you.

This happens to me when I'm trying to troubleshoot a user's computer and the resident moron thinks he knows my job better than me and tries to interfere. Our boss told us to say "do we come up here and tell you how to manage financial accounts? No? Then extend us the same courtesy." That usually shuts them down.

That's nicer than my favorite version: "Do I go into your cabana and tell your pool boy where to put his dick?"

People that complain about smoking are just jealous that they aren't enjoying a smooth, flavorful dose of delicious tobacco. Smoking is banned so many fucking places that it's close to being more legal to smoke pot walking down the street some places than it is to have a cigarette. Let me enjoy my self destructive habit without having to drive to the middle of nowhere pls.


They'd probably secretly love what you do to profligates.

the country i live its just gotten illegal to smoke in most bars, bus/train stops, in public parks and on the public street. its ridiculous.

No, I don't give a fuck that you're in a hurry. Should have planned better, asshole.

It's been that way in the States for quite some time. About the only place I can smoke indoors (besides my house) is in Las Vegas. Everywhere is all no smoking now. 20 years ago I could light up just about anywhere, but no more. Can't even have a cig at the bar when having a drink.

 

[TaterBot]

Smokers. They stink up the place, throw butts in the streets, and subject everyone to vile secondhand smoke, even little kids who can develop respiratory problems from it. So what if someone is sneezing and coughing and trying to breathe in little shallow gasps to avoid the misery being inflicted on them, you chose to smoke that nasty chemical-saturated shit and so can everyone around you by gawd. Then when the addiction has taken its physical toll, they go plonk their asses down in a hospital and expect doctors and nurses to fix their self-induced problems. Fuck all addicts.

Potheads and pothead culture, Hate the smell, the dependence, and the ire over not being able to get high. Spending all your time stoned or waiting to be stoned is a waste of life. I get the medicinal benefits of it all, and why people in pain use it, I'm talking about the lazy motherfuckers who do little but get stoned.

Lifes short enough as it is and filled with enough stupid people to make it worse and getting high just isn't the right way to deal with this. I aint talking about the folks who have a few joints a month, I'm talking about the ones who have a few a week.

The medical benefits are non-existent FWIW, assuming the modern pharmacopoeia. Agreed 100% though. Contrary to popular wisdom, I have seen people addicted to it, as in objective signs from abstinence, and who have committed crime to afford it.

Morons who if they're out shopping or waiting in line seem to have their IQ drop about 50 points. If you're in line to get food, have an idea of what you want. Don't just stand there holding everyone else up going "ummm.... I'll have....uhhhh....."

If you're paying for groceries and still can't figure out how to use a debit card, have your tard wrangler with you to do it. If your fat ass is blocking an entire isle, don't glare at me like I insulted ten generations of your family if I say "excuse me." Same deal if you stand in the doorway with your re.tarded friends having a conversation and preventing other customers from leaving. I'll say pardon me once. If you can't get the fuck out after that, I'll Red Rover my ass through you.

People who do rolling stops at stop signs. It's illegal, stop.

When people honk their car horn a second after the light turns green.

On and off, I've had people honk their horn at me when I leave work and I'm stopped at a stop sign waiting for traffic to clear on a divided boulevard (4 lanes on each side) so I can turn into the farthest/left-most lane. For some reason, they seem to think I should turn into one of the right ones instead even when I need to be in the left lane. Almost every time this happens, the car behind me either turns into the same left lane I did or it turns into the turnaround lane - meaning the driver would have waited just as long as I had if I wasn't in front of them.

I know people who used it because of Cancer or HIV and they weren't able to eat without it. Or people who used it for chronic pain. That said, a lot of people make up medical reasons to use it in my opinion.

Evangelical christfags.

I've got nothing against regular Christians or religious people, but the holy roller Evangelicals who do nothing but breathe and speak God can get really insufferable. The kind of people who if you bring up you listen to rock music, watch horror movies or play D&D ask why you refuse to pursue entertainment that only glorifies God. That can't even talk about simple nonpolitical news stories like fucking unusual weather without going into how it's a sign of the end times. That ask why you read "evil books" when those books are a Stephen King paperback. Bring up that King is a Methodist and they sneer, saying that he's part of a false religion.

It's exhausting dealing with these people.
