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

just hang up

I do that with pretty much every unexpected call these days.

I miss when "almost every call is a scam call" wasn't a thing, and the Do Not Call List really worked. Although no telemarketing at all is even better.

Scam calls and telemarketing also show how consumerist "culture" is cancer.

 

[Not Really Here]

I don't even OWN a car yet.

Speaking of which, during the election, I would get calls AND texts asking me if I support X presidential candidate. I would just hang up and report for spam.

I didn't get a single election message or call.
Skip one election because you didn't want to vote for a life long democrat and New Yorker and they dropped me off all the contact lists.

People chewing with their mouths full of food
People yawning like they're being murdered
People dragging their feet on the floor like they're on a goddamn ice rink
Motherfuckers who don't understand the concept of personal space
Professional websites (school, medical, work) that are designed like shit
The concept of brand loyalty/the "console wars"

Fucking marketing auto dialing recorded cell calls using random local phone numbers.

MY CAR WARRENTY ISN'T ABOUT TO EXPIRE, FUCKING RETARD SEEKER.

After binging on Jim Browning I can only wonder how many automated calls are sent out by India. I think home phone numbers now exist solely to be abused by automated call systems.

If I were on jury duty in a murder trial, and the defendant's attourney argued that just prior to the murder, the defendant had tried to click something on a web page, but the page simultaneously loaded in other elements, and the resulting click was something other than what was desired, I'd nullify.

Spam emails that keep sending you shit even if you chose to unsubscribe.

Fuck off, Geico.

I'm seeing a lot now where they make up 50 different categories and you have to unsubscribe from each one

I have no idea why modern web pages load different things at different times. I'm convinced that nobody actually learned how to code a web page, and they just separately install different premade plugins to do what they want, and the plugins load in different ways.

Knowing that some coders just act as an intermediary between Google and a computer I'd be unsurprised if that happened.

I get those constantly and as fast as I flag one number as a spamcaller I get a new one so I think they just have a spoofer that rolls through numbers

The fact that you have to use the Wii Remote on the Wii's menu screen, and can't just use the GameCube controller.

Motion controls in general.

Motion controls in general.

The Wii did need motion controls to do some of the stuff it did, but it used them far too much in my opinion.

Speaking of vidya and faulty connections, I hate it when a controller malfunctions and a character will start randomly running in a direction in-game until you force that BS to stop. I hear the Switch is notorious for that kind of breakdown.

I get around that by using the Classic Controller, which does let you use the analog sticks.

Of course, that's an entirely separate peripheral you'd have to buy just to do that whereas you're likely to have an old GameCube controller on hand which could have just done the same thing, which is lame.

I've used a Switch, and that happens. The only reason Nintendo's popular is because of kids and soyboys who are hooked on Mario games, and if any other company pulled that shit it would lose customers by the millions. Change my mind.

When a customer has a question that I don't know how to answer, and the person who would know isn't available, thus forcing me to fumble-fuck around to find it.

On top of that, I have horrible people skills.

Your job: "just look at the documentation!"
The documentation: Basic retard questions and none of the useful details that people ask you for every day

Also: complicated, irrelevant details, and customers expecting me to be clairvoyant.

On top of that: loud-talkers, phone calls, and customers who think we want to socialize with them all converge at the same time.

 

[mario if smoke weed]

People who seek validation way too much, people who act like they're good people whose shit don't stink when all they do is dumb shit (such as SJWs and Trump supporters), that kind of stuff. Especially attention whoring.

I swear a lot of people think their iPhone is voice-powered.

This isn't 1930 you cretins. You don't have to shout into the horn.
