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

[AnOminous]

when people say ok after every sentence

I dislike "y'know" more. Because if I didn't already, that's wrong, and if I did know it already, shut the fuck up and quit telling me things I already know.

This shit right here.

HIV-positive sperm bank opens in New Zealand
The world's first sperm bank for HIV-positive donors has launched in New Zealand, aiming to fight stigma surrounding the illness.

I know that they're saying that HIV is apparently not transmittable from those 3 men who donated so far.
I know I'm probably blowing this out of proportion.
But I'm sick of the whole false tolerance bullshit. Unless they have a shortage of sperm donors I just don't see any reason for putting any future kids at a possible risk.

Is there no other possible way to 'fight the stigma'?
Fuck's sake.

Let's fight the stigma of mercury poisoning by injecting dimethyl mercury. Seriously just what the fuck is this absolutely insane stupidity? At some point stupidity of the right sort, intense enough, actually just becomes evil. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea should literally fucking eat the bad end of a shotgun.

This. Especially when people say RWBY is an anime.

People engaging online. Tinder? There's a whole meme culture about "not writing first" and "give me your best icebreaker", while it just encourages normies to search Reddit and r/tinder, because despite being one of the biggest sites online, is still considered niche and a "gem" to these fuckheads.

Same on Discord and Twitter. People are scared of P2P. They want attention, interaction, and admiration, yet do nothing to earn it. Every other fuckhead has their own Discord, and care more about the number of members than quality of the contents. Discord is a pseudo group-chat that is always online. You don't even have the opening line of "hi guys how are you " because itll be placed right beneath the last night's jerkathon.

Socializing is cancer and people encourage it. I dislike "I deleted my Facebook cus secret society" sorts, but I'm inclined to think the next level of social media is complete disconnection besides career management. We have so much shit going on in local media solely because it was imported by Tumblr whales from the internet (thus america), and now we're forced to have an opinion because it's current.

I want to hear about a Norwegian having the first ski trip of the year, not whatever shit went down in California. I'd rather be bored by news than forced irrelevancy down my throat. Hell, we even got two Late Night clones now, down to completely rejecting the 20-30 year of building a celebrity persona to simply act like Conan.

People gotta start talking like people to one another again. Fuck pseudo "socializing" in always-on groups.

Yuropoors getting senselessly angry about Americans being fond of the patrician beverage known as ice water. How does it affect you in any way?

I mean, it doesn't really anger me, I just find it baffling. I didn't think ice water would be such a controversial topic on the Farms!

And yet here you are, making it one.

People who in a debate or argument have the idea that if they autistically screech the loudest, curse the most and constantly interrupt you with "NO! NO! NO! FUCK YOU! SHUT UP! NO! NO!" that somehow makes them the "winner"

Sad thing is I see this behavior more often with re.tards in their 30s than actual children who you might expect it from. It seriously makes me wish they had been bullied more as kids or someone had beat the shit out of them so they'd know their place and that acting like a spoiled brat isn't going to endear them to anyone.

Every cartoon is called anime in Japan though, from Akira to SpongeBob...

Coworkers who think that because they know more about this one aspect of the job than I do or have worked here slightly longer than I have means they're actually my boss and can order me around with impunity

People that say "they phone" need to be sterilized

 

[GinnyPotter]

Working in retail and companies not having a system in place for communicating with people who don't speak English.

It's happened to me a few times now at different work places and it feels like I've gotten the same answer from every manager I asked. "Just do your best but don't use your phone to help. That's not allowed."

So I can't use a translation app and I'm just supposed to play charades? Like wut?

It's just baffling that no one has a good way of fixing a pretty common problem. It's just rude that just because you don't speak english, you're not able to get just as good customer service as someone who does.



Also hate working black Friday. I did it once last year and I swore I would never work retail again.
People wanting to price match from another store and then getting pissed because we're sold outta the item. The amount of people who would just buy cartloads of bath towels. Just...Why? Why do you need thirty bath towels?

I always thought it was an exaggeration how crazy it could but I was wrong. The store ran outta instapots about the first hour because someone online had bought like 20 of them. I've never seen people be so angry over an overrated kitchen gadgets.

If you want that big deal, you gotta stand in line like the rest of those crazy people for hours. The stuff won't be there after the first couple hours. Either plan better or shop online.

 

[The Fair Lady]

Customers who get an attitude when you can’t help them. I did my best, buddy, go find someone else.

That reminds me of the the time, when I was still in IT, when a client told me to get buggy code up and running, but also told me, "Don't change anything."

Meanwhile, I'm thinking to myself, "If it isn't working, wouldn't I have to change it to fix it?"

The fact that “professional social media influencers” are a thing. Get a real fucking job, ya little thot.
