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

[Fliddaroonie]

Why would anyone brag about paying taxes? Here in America, everyone in all classes hate to pay taxes!

My apologies, I wasn't very clear. In the build up to our recent general election, a lot of hand-wringing middle class types - you know, the kind who think "raising awareness" makes a difference, or that filming themselves doing something nice is acceptable altruism - were making a song and dance about "well I wouldn't mind Labour in charge because I can afford to pay more tax" (these taxes would be needed to fund Corbyn's programme of gibs including free, state controlled Internet (don't even get me started), free uni, free everything including a unicorn for all.


Sorry to sperg up the place going off one one about cuckistan politics

Adults that chew with their mouths open and make loud smacking noises when eating. With little kids (think 5 year olds), I get it, they don't know better but good God, adults should understand that no one in public wants to hear your gross chewing. Eat quietly like a human being.

Maybe it stems from my grandma smacking my brother and I if we were being gross little shits at the dinner table but I get physically angry whenever I hear someone's chewing from across a restaurant. The amount of times I've wanted to walk up to a table and beat someone for loudly smacking and chewing isn't healthy.

If you are five and cannot behave like a human at a dinner table, your parents fucked up hard. Give me the boy for the first seven years and I'll show you the man for life, and all that

Oh, people bitching about the small things is actually quite related to retail.

A few weeks ago some cunt wrote in on her survey that we asked her if she was finding everything too often

Did she have a jaunty short haircut and drive a crossover?

 

[FuckedUp]

Speaking of classes, there should be a rule that final exams can't be worth more than 25% of the final grade. One of my finals this semester is worth 40% of the overall grade

I ended up getting an A in this class so I don't care anymore

When people don't respect other people's time.

If you say you're going to be somewhere at whatever o'clock you be there. If you're not sure about making it on time you be there early.

I keep almost bumping into people all the time while walking.

It's like I have to "slam on the brakes" almost non-stop when in a public place because they're just drifting along on autopilot.

Shit like that happens all the time where I'm at, and it's worse when it's a busy area.

Related, people who walk side by side on a sidewalk, like where the hell am I supposed to go? I hate having to walk on the grass just because one of them doesn't have the courtesy to go in front of or behind the other for a second or two.

 

[Titanic Cow]

People who ask a question and interrupt as you offer an answer/explanation, especially when I'm actually just about to explain the thing you're interrupting me about.
When people don't use their indicators at all or save it for the last few seconds before manoeuvring, resulting in me having sat there like an idiot, giving way to a driver that had no intentions of even passing me or blocking my exit.

Managers are not human beings. Subhuman, maybe. Most are so disconnected from the people under them and they have little to no understanding of what their job entails. I get the impression they look down on their own staff and don't think they're capable of having any valid or valuable input, even when it involves changes related to their own duties. I spent a year telling one manager that a change they wished to implement was unfeasible and would not work. They tried desperately to tweak the system for the duration of the year, every iteration failing, until they resorted to going back to the way things were. If only they had listened.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Food and drink served way too hot.

All I taste is the hot.

I'm also getting really tired of bicyclists who ride on the sidewalk and give no warning when they come barrelling down the walk right by me. No slowing down, no warning of any kind.

 

[Titty Figurine]

Professionals half-assing jobs.

My almonds are activated right now even though I'm hopefully about to get out of rust belt hell, but two pieces of news about the endless derelict property bullshit hit my feed at the same time and it's just laughably bad.

On one hand you have this nice little old lady in the news with the abandoned house next door falling into her fence begging action-news-whatever to help her get the city to demolish it. Meanwhile the other hand is busy with the city suspending a demolition company's contract because they keep demolishing the wrong fucking houses.

Maybe I'm just pissed about living in the apocalypse but good goddamn. Cleaning the wrong window or powerwashing the wrong sidewalk is a minor embarrassment and a few man-hours wasted, but you gotta go above and beyond to keep knocking down the wrong address.

Holy shit, this is a thing that actually happens? I thought that was just a fucking Shel Silverstein poem.

Online dating is the thing since it's almost considered rude to even make a silly comment to the person sitting next to you. It's agitating having people almost demand you start a conversation with them without the "hello, how are you" among other standard introductions then proceed to not apply any info about themselves. These people tend to be in line with ones who want to hold a conversation while at the same time unable to say anything past one word.

Online dating is just agitating in general.

I shit you not. Lol this past summer there were cops going door to door looking for dead hookers. Hipsters can brag about revitalisation all they want but at the end of the day the city is still begging squatters to pay a pittance on whatever land bank property they live in so it's not really "vacant". It's like opposite homeless problem. There are still too many blighted properties and they're knocking down the wrong ones.

I absolutely can't wait to move out to the sticks in a couple months and get in on that small town scandal book club drama instead of getting pissed about stupid hood shit.

 

[soft breathing]

People who try to guilt trip you into interacting with them even though they make zero effort to start a proper conversation with you.

And once they're talking to you they make everything about themselves, pointing out that you're taking too long to answer, your tone is too rude etc.. Just fuck off and talk to someone else then.

Online dating takes a somewhat different mindset than IRL dating, dewd. IMHO the way to do it is send the same copy-paste hello to every girl/boy/Jewish furry Scientologist (depending on your preferences) you think you might be interested in, then see how many reply to you and how many you can actually maintain a conversation with. The ones who don't or barely engage you ignore because you've got half a dozen others in the wings. You cast a wide net and gradually narrow it down. IRL people would think you're a slut or player for doing this, but the whole advantage of online dating is that you can do that shit and people don't really care about a few text messages and you don't have to go to the expense of buying someone dinner before figuring out if they're a dud or not.

As for what personally pisses me off, I would have to say anti-white sentiment.

Seriously though, in our society we're soooo concerned with every other kind of bigotry... except bigotry against the fucking majority of the people who live here. Not only does it get a pass, it's promoted by some of the wealthiest and most influential people. Similar deal with anti-male bigotry.

That empty feeling that you try to get rid of with food, drugs, booze, smokes, wanking off, ect. but it never really goes away.

 

[JambledUpWords]

People that don’t grasp the basics of how their own country runs and operates really annoy me.
Example: people on Twitter believing that it just takes the House vote to impeach a president.

this happens to me every fucking time. it started to feel like people are automatically getting drawn to me and when they do see me, they expect me to move out of the way (fat people are the worst at this). the worst is when they stare down at their smartphone and walking towards you and you feel forced to move aside. i bump into some of them on purpose because fuck you.
