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

[ToroidalBoat]

It sucks how a routine biofunction (#2) is so filthy and tedious.

Why couldn't it be as clean and easy as going #1?

I know this may sound odd coming from me, considering my profile pic and my username here, but people on the far-left who pick on Christians who just want to live their lives in peace. Yeah, there are many self-proclaimed Christians out there who are truly bad apples, but the majority of the ones I know IRL are truly some of the most chill people I have met.

This really bugs me too, and I would consider myself non-religious, if not an atheist. The naked and gleeful bigotry towards Christians from even moderate left wingers is disgusting.

They just really hate their parents for not being The State.

What pisses me off is when people leave lights on in rooms no longer needing them. Flip the switch, stupid!

 

[Chamulum]

EBT Cards. Get a job you fucking bum.

When I'm wearing headphones and I snag the cord on something. That really pisses me off.

I avoid buying cheap headphones or shoddy, unknown brands in general.

Ooh! The way aux cords never last more than few months, because they make the connectors such that they bend but can't be straightened.

I use Sony headphones and I keep them in a case and they've lasted for a very long time.


I really hate it when people leave plates and cutlery all over the place. There's something called a dishwasher!

When you finish washing dishes and somebody just dumps more in the sink.

Food in the sink. If you don't have a garbage disposal, it can be annoying and gross.

 

[Fish-Eyed Fool]

The internet.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

EBT Cards.

Even with a job, EBT may still be needed because of the insane cost of living in Current Year - not to mention the crap wages.

I have a cable that I think is both sentient and sadistic; when I'm wrapping it around the plug it takes absolutely ages, like the thing just keeps growing, but when I try to use it it's suddenly 3 feet too short.

People who think the disposal is the proper way to dispose if food waste, instead of a tool to avoid drain clogs when food waste incidentally winds up there.

I've watched people intentionally shove food into their drain. How. What. Why.

 

[The Last Stand]

LAG.

All I have to say.

 

[HamFan]

The word "chocolatey".

It looks wrong, it pronounces wrong, and it feels fucking glutinous when you're saying it.

I'm pretty sure that, at least on a label, "chocolatey" denotes that it is not real chocolate.
Anyway, what pisses me off: people who wear their covid mask under their nose. I really don't give a shit if you wear a mask or not. But something about doing it half-assed makes me irrationally angry. I don't want to see your fucking piggy snout. Covering your mouth alone just highlights it. Like "Here's where's my boogers come from. Better keep that uncovered!" Just wear it up all the way, or don't bother.

It just looks so fucking stupid, and when someone with their germ dispersal unit of full display tells me to wear a mask, I remember the words of my fallen comrade SIGSEGV

To add to that, when the mask slips and you keep having to pull it up.

The internet.

This but unironically.

 

[Prince Jello]

When people shorten "bourgeoisie" / "bourgeois" as "bougie". Mostly because it sounds exceptional, but moreso because bougie literally means "candle" in French. If you're going to borrow from another language, at least use it correctly.

Even with a job, EBT may still be needed because of the insane cost of living in Current Year - not to mention the crap wages.

This. Even with some states having a higher minimum wage than the Federal minimum, it may still be barely enough for a single person to live above the Federal Poverty Level. Even without complicating factors such as COVID, prices for a lot of goods and services seem to increase much faster than inflation or the published cost of living numbers.

If someone is using EBT and actively making efforts to become self-sufficient, that's fine. It's the people that use those benefits to bankroll their professional NEET lifestyle that deserve to have them taken away and given to the people that have a genuine need for them.

If you're going to borrow from another language, at least use it correctly.

I agree with you about the "bougie" thing, but people that wordsmith don't even care about the English words they redefine. Still, it's when they use words or shorten others regardless of language/origin in an attempt to sound cool or edgy and end up presenting themselves as anything but.

Is it just me or is youtube pushing nonstop alcohol ads? Powerleveling a bit, but I'm a teetotaler, so having beer and liquor pushed on me pisses me off greatly.

Spoiler: inb4

Yeah, I know about adblockers and run them on my PC. I'm just not spending money on my ipad for one.

I think their ad bota are just super retarded. I love alcohol, and I've never gotten a booze ad. It's a baffling and unwelcome mixture of nerf and scams.

Oh that’s wonderful. Instead of selling to the man that might want your product, you try to sell it to the one guaranteed not to buy it. Sounds like a real winning strategy.
