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

[From The Uncanny Valley]

The "creators need to be saved from entitled fans!" mindset

especially since it's always used for creators who never fucking deserve it

 

[FrickleMyPickle]

People who say an animal they hunted was "harvested."

 

[Stilgar of Troon]

People who brush off their own ignorance or stupidity with flippancy.
I work with (way too many) people like this and it makes my shit itch when they make a brain-burningly stupid assertion or manage to completely mangle a common phrase in their own goddamn first language, you carefully put them right, taking care to be polite and not to be condescending... What do you get in response?

"Ehh, doesn't matter.", "lol, who cares?", "as if you even care about that, you dick?"

In the fucking sea, all of them.

 

[AzuraAquafina]

People who feel the need to unload walls of text of their entire life story when it wasn't warranted. Even if it's somewhat relevant to the discussion I can't help but chalk up the individual as some weird attention seeker. This pretty much also applies to anyone who derails a discussion into their own political manifesto.

Every troglodyte that tells me that my cunt of a mom just really loves me after being used as a cash cow and threatening me multiple times. Actions speak a lot louder than words.

My sink drain clogs way too easily. I have a beard that I like to keep shaped up, be it shaving my upper cheeks and detangling it with a beard comb. As such, beard hair gets all over the sink but eventually it makes its way to the drain where it starts to clog. And it's not even that much hair either; most of the time when I trim I cover the sink with a paper towel so I won't clog it up but that still doesn't work. I can unclog the drain, but with how little hair's actually getting down there it's really annoying.

Why are static 3-digit security codes still a thing? If Blizzard and Steam can get 2-factor authentication, surely we could apply the same principal to credit cards? It's a glaring and obvious oversight, and it seems like there would be a lot of incentive to reduce fraud cases (less insurance payouts), so.. why is this not a thing yet? It's win/win for both the payment processors and the consumer.

Or, maybe we should dump credit cards all together and move to something better. Whatever.

 

[Molester Stallone]

I hate when I miss a phone call, immediately redial the person, and they don't answer. How could you possibly be unable to answer a return call when the phone is probably still in your hand?

 

[Red Hood]

When there's a stray pube hanging off the end of your dick and it splits the stream or worse makes it spray everywhere.

 

[Blackhole]

I think it has to be troons. It's mainly the arrogance and "muh vagene! muh rights" shit they spew all over social media. I can't even look at one without feeling pissed. It can't just be me,right?

It's not just you. I got screeched at once because I refused a transman in a gay bar. I explained that gay guys don't like vaginas, but apparently I'm a transphobe for not wanting pussy. Trans "women" do the same shit to lesbians.

What an original opinion. Never heard anything like that on Kiwi Farms before.

 

[AnOminous]

Here's a video from a historical clothing channel I used to enjoy, showing a woman who has commissioned a replica of an historic embroidered dress from India, only to suddenly realize that the original dress its based on was made - gasp - by historical Indians who were probably not compensated very well for their work.

Holy fucking shit, something from India was made by an Indian oh my fucking Lord how could this possibly happen.

When I forget that I put a can of soda in the freezer to chill "just for a little bit" until the next time I open the freezer and see the aftermath.

Every time I say I'm going to do that again.
Every time I'm a liar.

I have done this so much my freezer door sticks no matter how hard I clean it. Now I just stick them in the fridge to cool down an hour before I drink them.

Life is difficult when you’re a mentally stunted individual such as I.

Being woken up at 7am on a weekend because my neighbour, who has gone stir-crazy because of the lockdown, is drilling into the wall adjacent to my bedroom.

 

[Robert James]

People who speed up to block you when you turn your turn signal is on. This used to happen all the time back in Michigan to the point that the turn signals were nicknamed the "Fuck me Signals". Once I moved I realized it was a common thing in big cities and has convinced me to drive in the wee hours of the night if I have to drive through a city.

Impatient people at the gym. I get telling someone to get off a machine when they are resting for five or so minutes but I've had one too many times where I'm resting for less than 30 seconds and someone will come up and ask me to get off the machine. The worst part is that it's never in a nice fashion it's always some snide remark like "you can look at your phone in the lobby" or "I want to get out of here soon so could you get off the machine"

How every fucking E-Celeb/business mogul tells people to move to texas. I get it's hypocritical since I moved here no more than 5 years ago but part of me dies whenever I hear someone jokingly say it. The more people that move here the closer we get to becoming California 2.0 especially if they are fleeing from one of the overly taxed and regulated states.

The fact that my hair is so fucking thick and wavy that any time I want to grow it out I have to put in a fuck load of effort to keep it from turning into an Afro.

It's annoying when someone posts a clip of gameplay, but the original audio is replaced with "epic" music.

And it's nearly always that one song from Inception.

Today during work and last week, I came across a few people that said they were "furloughed". I didn't know what the fuck that meant, so I had to look it up and it literally just means "layed off"

I'm not the most smartest person ever, but for fuck sakes, why do people need to use uncommon words? If it's just to sound "smarter" or "more sophisticated" then it's not fucking working, it just makes me pissed off at you and want to hit you with a crowbar. There was nothing wrong with the term "layed off". What, because it sounds bad and bad words are a big no-no now in the professional world or just in general? Fuck these people. When Google's top search results for "furloughed" is "definition/meaning", then that means you shouldn't be fucking using the word at all as if its supposed to be common language when it's really not.

Fuck, I miss when I can grow out my hair like that. Now the top of my head is thinner and I can't grow it out anymore.
