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

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.

A lot of companies used the term “furlough” during rona layoffs to make it sound like they would bring people back once it was over. Basically now people use it as shorthand for “laid off for reasons beyond my control”

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.

PROTIP: to chill soda rapidly, put it in a container packed in ice with water, circulating if you can manage it. There are wine cooling machines for this too but you don't need one. A sink usually works fine.

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"

It's like they think being utterly cunty about it will actually make you leave faster and not just stick around even longer to piss them off.

Wanna know what grinds my fucking gears? The Hornet bossfight.
I cannot stress how much the PC version of this fight makes me want to smash my head against the wall. Not only does she manage to dodge every single one of my attacks,she always manages to get a sneaky little hit in when i'm trying to heal. I either suck cock and balls at Hollow Knight or this game was designed to kick my nuts in. It's probably both.
 
I hate when I'm thinking a step ahead in my work and upon asking a supervisor a question related to said work, I have to backtrack and explain why I'm asking the question when a short, direct answer would have just sent me on my way. "Yes, I know I'm working on task 'x' but I need the answer for 'y' for after I complete task 'x'." The unnecessary expenditure of oxygen is what annoys me the most.

February 2020: "@FuckedUp, why don't you go to lectures when it's not mandatory? I know you have a 3.7 GPA and can just read the textbook or watch the recordings at double speed, but you need to get the full experience you fucking degenerate"

July 2020: "@FuckedUp, you're a grandma-killing capitalist bootlicker for thinking the entirety of college can't just be done on an LCD monitor with speakers. Who needs academic integrity with tests? brb banning you from the Discord server"

I hate NPCs so fucking much. Literally ruining my life.

Furloughed has a different meaning. They're being optimistic and thinking that they will be rehired soon.

Saying that you're layed off is basically admitting that you're fucked and won't get your job back.

That one douche at work that runs his mouth and singles you out when you've literally just been doing the same thing everyone else has. I've had like 3 of those at my past jobs.

There's got to be some difference, were you the new guy in those jobs?

Yes and a small pinch of no. I was new but it would never start until like 2 months of working there.

Sounds like they waited until they thought you "get" their humour and tried to drag you in, without realising some people just want to work without office banter.
