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

[Sped Xing]

You don't service customers. You serve customers. You can serve customers by servicing their equipment, but if you service a person, you're a prostitute.

EDIT: Or a doctor, I guess. Medical work is work.

 

[Ruin]

People who think their physical/mental problems give them free reign to be an asshole without being criticized. It doesn't, act like a civilized human being or fuck off and die.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Allergies. I've been woken up by a sinus headache for the past four days, and it's driving me crazy.

Change your gender. Women dont have allergies, they have pms instead.

 

[Fek]

Hanging picture frames pisses me off. Even more so if they're odd dimensions and have two hooks without needing two hooks. It can be made yet worse by there being just over a dozen of the flippin' things, and their owner wanting them 1. arranged evenly across two walls, 2. down some stairs, 3. with one wall longer than the other..

..Love, thy name is "saintly patience" and "geometry/trigonometry."

 

[Freedom Fries]

I want to break things when someone is snacking loudly within like 7ft while watching me work. Any further or not actively working on something and it's fine, but it's getting really hard not to hit someone or just walk out of whatever I'm doing over this

 

[CamelCursive]

Honestly, it's people who challenge you to a friendly 'fun, fluffy game' of [insert tabletop wargame] and then they just show up with a tournament list and gloat about how quickly they destroyed your units.

 

[TaterBot]

I got a one week suspension in my job for asking a Hispanic customer to speak English. They assume that I was telling them to "go back to Mexico" when I actually said "if I went to Mexico, I would speak Spanish there like I speak English here".

This. I don't understand people who abandon their country to come to America "for a better life", but don't care enough to learn English.

Look, this country was not conquered by Spain, we don't speak Spanish. Mexico was - they do. You'd think they'd want to give up that conquistador language that marks them as a conquered people for the language of the country they freely chose instead.

 

[HoneyBadgersOfOats]

Left lane bandits, people that treat the left lane on the highway like it's the main lane and not the passing lane.

 

[Mrs Paul]

-People who have to tell you all the intimate details of their medical problems. No, I don't want to hear about how you got food poisoning that gave you 12 hours of explosive diarrhea, and no, I certainly do not want to see the pictures from your colonoscopy.
-When my cat has a hairball on my bed in the middle of the night. It's so much fun changing the sheets at 3am.
-Fucking robocalls.
-Stink bugs. They're fucking EVERYWHERE in this area.
-This fucking heat. I absolutely LOATHE hot weather. The only thing I like to do in summer is swim. Other than that, I hate summer time with a passion. I can't stand the heat. Plus there's no hockey.
-People who feel the need to absolutely bathe in perfume. I mean, a dab here and there, don't just drench yourself in it!
-Anyone who tries to talk to me when I'm watching a Penguins game. SHUT UP! Unless there's a fire, flood, or earthquate, GTFO!

Oh, and I'll disagree on the whole handicapped parking space thing. People don't always look disabled. Could be a heart condition, or else arthritis that gets worse as you go on. I have sciatica and I might be okay when I set out, but by the time I leave, sometimes I'm practically using the buggy as a walker.

Those little fuckers. I cannot stand them.

 

[Hummingbird]

-Fucking robocalls.

I know what you mean. Especially those ones that say they have a warrant for your arrest and they need you to call them back.

 

[Sped Xing]

If the ACTUAL cops called me and said they had a warrant for my arrest, the last thing I'd do is call them back

It's depressing that people are so dumb that you can lure them with a hook.

 

[PL 001]

People who try to apply modern day values (for better or worse) to people/art that existed in the past.

You like reading Lovecraft? Hurr Durr! He was a racist dude! You a racist also? It's problematic circulating his stories still!

Like a few Beatles songs? Durrrr!!! John Lennon was a shitty husband and father! How can you support someone like him!

Usually these re.tards get basic info wrong and spread misinformation to other re.tards as well. Mark Twain was a slaveowner and racist! A huge racist!!! REEEEE! Get annoyed and ask if they've ever read Huck Finn or even know one thing about Twain, their response is "but...but...he had Huck say nigger! That means he's a racist!"

I don't mind ignorant people. All that means is you don't have the knowledge of something but are willing to be taught. We're all ignorant on some degree. I fucking DESPISE stupid/willfully ignorant people.

I agree with most of this except for the John Lennon one. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but I'm not going to defend him beating up his wife. It's not a case of applying modern values in this instance since domestic abuse was still considered a heinous act during his time.

Agreed, it was a shitty thing to do. My point was (and it seems you agree with me) is that people who can't seperate the artist from their work. Basically saying if you like The Beatles, you support a wife beater. Maybe I didn't word that properly, but yeah, we're on the same page.

 

[Arctic Fox]

People who think gun control is even a remotely good idea. The staggering stupidity of people wholely willing to disarm themselves and be at the mercy of their respective governments infuriates me to no end.

 

[neverendingmidi]

When you unscrew a bottle cap and the ring at the bottom ends up getting wedged halfway up, where you can't push it back down, or get a grip to pull it all the way off.

 

[Pina Colada]

-Fucking robocalls.

THIS. Especially when they come from the very state I moved out of 2 years ago. I've long forgotten about it, but they haven't forgotten my phone number.

 

[Ambidextype]

Human locusts meaning people that used to live in California and New York but move out to more conservative area and vote for the same policies that fucked their previous states. In some ways they are probably more harmful than illegal immigrants.
