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

Stupid Fan said:
When I go to the gym, they only have the news on all 10 or whatever TVs they have. I have my music on regardless but nothing pisses me off more than the news. Why can’t they have cartoons or music videos or something with some personality to look at instead of the fucking news??



Some random site related piss-me-offs:

When people says “I’ll take my _______ ratings now!”

When someone says that Tess Holliday looks like a pig or ALR is has heavy as a a body builder or something and then three other people come out of the woodwork to defend pigs/body builders/elephants/water buffalos/dump trucks/ whatever as being superior and should never be compared. It happens without fail, every single time someone does a comparison.

I asked for sports, anything with people chasing a ball or object of some kind and you'd think I asked for something obscene. I did get a sports talk show which was marginally better.

It’s annoying when someone is allowed to be grumpy and bitchy when they want (and has everyone basically bend to their will), but if I get into a bad mood then I’m suddenly a horrible person.

Reminds me of someone I used to be in a relationship with. They were annoyed that I didn’t get bitchy or aggressive back when they teased me. I mentioned that I don’t get into bad moods often and they said “and that’s disappointing.” When I get mad I just distance myself and try not to let it explode on other people. Like a decent human being. But that’s apparently boring. I never understood them. Emphasis on used to.

Gun control activists who say "you need more training to own a gun".

Bitch, I know more and practice more than not only you, but also your average beat cop.

It's especially retarded when they give Hollywood advice like "shoot their leg" or "fire a warning shot".

"Fire a warning shot" is especially egregious. I instantly know the person advising that doesn't know shit about guns when that's said.
You're projecting lethal force with a firearm, a "warning shot" is lethal force sent in a random direction. It's downright reckless.

When you shoot you shoot to kill.


Anti-smoking ads grind my gears. Shit like truth or the local state ones. Nothing makes me want to smoke more than some hip faggot teenager telling me why smoking is lame. As someone who has gone from pack a week to mostly quit smoking it just annoys me to no end seeing those ads. Someone paid lame straight-edge kids to whine at working adults and thought "surely this will work".

double post bc i couldnt find the option to edit my reply to add a quote, sorry!
I'm allergic to tobacco and when I was in high school, I remember telling my mom that those ads were so obnoxious, they made me want to smoke. I still feel that way. Then I found out that sometimes the ads are paid for by tobacco companies, and everything made sense. Annoy you into buying their product.

The anti-smoking ads that show the lives of people who got fucked up by smoking are effective imo. I don't want no stoma nor voice box.
But those trendy kids ads just make my blood boil. It's always some "I know the REAL truth" chuuni shit that just makes my blood pressure spike. During my undergrad it especially pissed me off. I used tobacco to make it through 2 hour finals and 4 hour lab practicums, fuck off with that "I don't need cigarettes because I'm high on life!" shit. You liberal arts majoring faggots can afford to do that, not people getting degrees in real fields.
If that little factoid about big tobacco making these ads as insufferable as possible to get people to smoke out of spite alone is true then that's devilishly ingenious.

In the words of the prophet Dilbert, marketing is only legal because 90% of the time it doesn't work.

Also, I hate it when Kiwis necro threads (unless some new development in an old story has occurred).

When I was a youngling, my Father said something about Phillip Morris, and I said "those anti-smoking nuts?"

He explained to me why I was retarded, and after that those ads made perfect sense-- use your court-mandated anti-smoking messages to make not smoking seem lame.

I remember years ago hearing an ad on Spotify from some organization that targeted teen smoking. The ad said something about how the percentage of teens who smoke has dropped to like 5% or something (I can't remember the exact number) and they said, "But we need to make sure that goes to 0%!" Bitch, that's straight up impossible and you know it. Teens are always going to smoke. It's one of those forbidden things they aren't allowed to do. Be glad that the numbers are that low. The sheer arrogance of the ad annoyed me, and that extends to most of those anti-smoking ads.

I think said person was conflating getting upset and argumentative with being fiery or passionate or something. The latter aren't bad, but I'm a pretty chill down to earth person. The kind that if I actually raise my voice, shit's going down. I grew up with family that bickered and got into verbal fights a lot over dumb stuff so that's the last thing I want to do.

Also I hate people who can't be bothered to shower and change clothes. I don't mean for a few days. Like two whole weeks and counting right now, with someone I live with. At least I rarely ever cross paths with them since they live on the opposite side of the house and stay in their room but it's still baffling. And yeah, we've tried telling them politely and a bit more bluntly. No luck.

"Don't turn off this device, it may ruin it" said device has written on it's screen. "Wait until everything is downloaded, updated, etc"
Wait nearly forty minutes, nothing occurs at all. Shut down the device; turn it back on. Oh, looks like everything's gotten the memo and is actually moving along.
