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

The way it seems no matter what job you do, from working at a grocery store to being an office drone anytime you do a good job, work hard and show you give a damn about the quality of your job performance, you're never commended for it or recognized. Instead, you just get more work foisted on you because "you do such a good job" while the people whose workload you're now having to worry about dick off all day. Then they make the surprised Pikachu face when you inevitably get burned out and stop giving a shit because you're now one person doing the work of six people.
 
People who think sleep is a waste of time.
Sleeping is the best part of my day, because even my nightmares are more cheerful than my real life.

I appreciate the hard work you do, friendo. ❤

There are good places to work, but it's very difficult to know ahead of time.

After more than a dozen jobs, I'm finally in a place where nobody fucks with me, I make good money, and spend most of my workday posting on KF.

There is hope if you're willing to bounce around.
 
Whenever i see raisins or nuts in any desert i lose my shit internally. DON'T PUT THEM IN YOUR FUCKING FOOD,THEY TASTE LIKE SHIT AND RUIN THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN THING
The fuq did you just say about raisins, nigga?

They're a great snack for when you don't feel like stuffing your face with chips and nuts are a great compliment for ice cream.
 
I've come to loathe rolls of paper towels that are perforated into half sheets. I get they're trying to reduce waste and all but half a paper towel rarely does the job. The perforations aren't even very good so I wind up tearing the damn things in such a way I need to use two of them anyway.
 
You know those kids in school who act like hot shot "don't mess with me or i'll beat your ass!" types that are there to ruin the fun that always have to be the generic jock or scrawny loser? Yeah,fuck them. Just because you have a big brother in 7th grade doesn't mean you can push me around,future Rabbi.
 
Delivery drivers who have not just arrived on Earth, but only have existed in a physical dimension for a short period of time.
Do I need to see C't'Chongo's car spinning around on the doordash tracker like they're playing a Tony Hawk game?

How the fuck do they have a job?

These retards are why I only used DoorDash maybe three times before deleting the app. It's always some moron from a backwater country who probably came here floating down the river on a wooden door, and finds the concept of doorbells mystifying. God help you if you think they're capable of making a delivery from a restaurant maybe two miles away. I could watch all three extended editions of LOTR and my food still wouldn't be there.
 
Hoarders.

If you choose to live alone surrounded by piles of junk piled several feet high and refuse to clean up after yourself as if you were a literal child, then that's your choice.You made your bed, now lie in it (if you can over all the junk on it). But the second you force family, children, and/or pets to live in that filth, that's abuse. There's no changing my mind.
 
It can be quite frustrating when something breaks, and the person or people who have the job of fixing it don't give a shit...

(which seems to be the norm around here IRL)

Companies that are using the coronavirus as an excuse to have exceptionally shitty customer service.

My gym closed mid-March after charging people for the full month. There were no prorated refunds, and then they charged people for the full price of April despite not being open at all that month (with things still being up in the air as far as closures, and refunds refused if you asked). If people hadn't raised hell, they probably would have expected to do the same for May. Instead they waived it, like they should have done from the start, but then in June you had to take out a hold, and there were discrepancies about how long the hold was for, resulting in members being charged for full months despite wanting to cancel and full services being unavailable.

I ordered some items from a major company. They entirely left an item out of my shipment that was meant to match another. I immediately got on hold for the 45+ minute wait time, let them know, and was given a case number and told it would be resolved within 7 days. Two weeks later I didn't hear shit, so I called again, patiently waited out the long hold time, and was told I would get a refund, because by that time the missing item was sold out. A couple days later I took the 1 of 2 items I did receive to the physical store to return it, as it wasn't useful to me without the other item, and was told I would be refunded. It's over a week later and I haven't got a refund for either item.

I ordered another item from another major company, this time for store pick-up. The policy stated that if you did not pick it up within 5 days, it would be automatically cancelled and refunded. I realized I didn't need it so I never went to get it and let it lapse. That was in fucking June. A couple weeks later I realized I still hadn't been refunded, so I checked the order status and it showed as 'picked up'. I never went there, so I called the store, and they told me they still had it set aside for me, but they'd just refund it right then. No problem. A couple weeks later, still no refund, so I called the main customer service line. They told me the item was marked as 'picked up and signature received', despite me having never shown up to the store. They got in touch with the store to issue the refund, and I figured it was all sorted. That was July 27th and I still haven't received my refund.

I'm a pretty patient person, I've been the girl on the other end of the phone living that call center life, so I don't act like a Karen, but I'm sick and tired of companies dicking around worse than usual and blaming it on COVID. I bought a shitty can opener from my local supermarket that didn't work and they refunded me right away, despite their store policy being that they can't take returns right now. That was a small regional store, too, and these other ones I mentioned are big-time companies. I'm pissed!
 
Very minor One but my Blu Ray of hellraiser at a couple points in the movie freezes up and skips over. I know it doesn't sound like something to get all that pissed over but I think it's because it's a BLU RAY this is happening on. Aren't they supposed to be like better than DVDs and not prone to doing that sort of thing?
