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

[The Curmudgeon]

People overestimating their own self-importance. This extends into many facets of life. In the context of customer service, it's customers who see themselves as heroes, martyrs, or victims. In general, whether politics are involved or not, people who think they're far more important than they really are or ever will be. We see this both on and offline. There are many explanations for this mentality, but I won't bother, or even try, to get into those.

From the customer service angle, it gets really cringey seeing people who think spending money or having an opinion on company policy makes them a pillar of the community or whatever. I hope that whoever encouraged this mindset is rotting in the deepest, darkest pits of hell.

it's very minor but a couple of my blu rays have gone missing. Robocop 2 and death wish 3 cant find them anywhere even though i know i had them. Really sucks DW3 is gone i was gona watch 1-3 back to back but only now i just dont feel like it. It's like something's missing and just doesnt feel right without it (Yes i know there's two more death wish movies i don't count them because they suck so much)

Boomers and the generation above them.

Ever since "my" generation and gen z are much getting overlooked by the government in regards to getting the vaccine - and therefore our "normal" lives back - boomers have gotten even worse. They're now showing what kind of stupid assholes they really are. Flexing on me that "I CAN GO TO HOLIDAY AND YOU YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO WAIT" or "I CAN NOW DINE AT RESTAURANTS AGAIN, I'M VACCINATED, YOU AREN'T, THIS SUCKS, DOESN'T IT?". Just to name two examples.

It's not even that I want to go on holiday right now or dine at restaurants - it's just the audacity of those old farts. But I'm the rude fuck when I tell them "cool, I have 50+ more years to live compared to you, so?".

Where the fuck do you live that boomers are getting prioritized for the vaccine? All I ever see are zoomers talking about getting their two shots and asspatting themselves over it.

Europe.

The highest priority group is people over 80, people who live in retirement homes, people who work in hospitals etc.

Next priority group is people over 75, mentally disabled people (not physically) and people who care for disabled/old people.

Then you have the over 70-years-old-group and everyone with disabilities and high-risk-illnesses in general.

And the list goes on.

Everyone that's somewhat physically fit, doesn't have any illness, isn't working in the medical field or is below the age of 60 is in the absolute lowest priority group and can get fucked basically.

They're planning on lifting the priority groups soon, but we simply don't have enough vaccine for everyone right now. It's beautiful. Of course, it could be a lot worse, I know. It still sucks.

Boomers and the generation above them.

Generations aren't real, and people who identify with made-up groups are autistic.

Europe.

Oh, that sucks. I'm sorry.

This. I've noticed the attachment to labels tends to be very much a north American thing, though I've no doubt it occurs elsewhere. If I heard anyone in real life use the terms 'boomer,' 'zoomer,' or any other shit, I'd think they were retarded.

Thread tax:

I notice as I get older that I'm increasingly short of patience where it concerns incompetent people - especially men. Women get a pass somewhat, at least where it concerns 'being handy' and the like, but only a little.

Traditional TV shouldn't have any ads. People already pay for it.

 

[The Last Stand]

You drink something and it goes down the wrong way.

 

[Captain Fitzbattleaxe]

For some unknown reason I only get like 2 or 3 ads that constantly repeats on YouTube for like a month. Every video I watch it's one of those ads.

When you get that sudden urge to cough while drinking water/when water somehow triggers your gag reflex.

I had that happen to me the other night. Really shitted my ass.

People who can't have a sense of humor about anything. For example, we all have our opinions. Sometimes, we take them seriously for better or for worse. However, it's also nice to laugh at yourself as well as others. I piss and moan about SJWs a lot, but I can still get a chuckle when someone takes the piss out of my opinions. Everyone is fair game to satire and parody, or at least they should be. I understand if some of you guys disagree with me, but I see this as an all sides problem. Too many people can't take a joke anymore.

Allergies. Fucking waking up with itchy red eyes and swollen sinuses and I didn't even have the pleasure of baking the day before. Antihistamines don't do shit for me because I've been on them my whole life on account of spring hitting every year and my immune system erupting like Vesuvius.

On a related note, gas stations that don't have a little emergency pharmacy section. What happened? I used to be able to go in and get at least some Goody's powder and some eyedrops and now I have to leave an hour early for work to go to an actual grocery store if I need stuff like that. I can go to my local gas station and get a goddamn sub made to order but not lip balm, fuck this tony-ass town I live in.

This right here.
My theory is society now encourages and even breeds snowflakes. People legitimately expect to never feel offended or uncomfortable in a situation and if they do it’s society’s fault as opposed to their own poor coping skills.

I love online classes because I can motherfucking work ahead especially if the professor releases all the modules and assignments at once like a good professor.

I have been working ahead. Module 2 this week. I already finished that and almost done with the homework. I am working on procrastinating on finishing the last lecture of Part 1 of module 3 with only three short lectures on Part 2 of module 3 which I can finish on the night shift if I have no patients.

I got a bloody email from my professor saying that this midterm would only be on module 1 NOT on both motherfucking modules 1 and 2 because my classmates are mouthbreathing tards. I was working on module 3 homework last night. I spent some of my day yesterday and on Sunday studying modules 1 and 2 for this exam since I have a 12 hour night shift on exam day. Material from module 2 will be on the final exam not on the midterm. Like WTF. A midterm is the material covered within the first half of the course, not the beginning. I hate my classmates, and they need to plan better. I always read the course schedule when classes open, so that I can plan what I need to do.

So, a couple of days before homework was due last week tards were whining that the professor totally divided by zero and deleted everything. You should have bloody finished your lectures, retards.

To your second point, my state (FL) had to stick all the shit that works behind the pharmacy counter because tards were making meth with it. It might be related to that.

How do they pay for it?

With money.

 

[Sped Xing]

With money.

I. . . see. And how, pray, do I shove money into my TV set? Or do you mean the expense of the set in the first place? Are you aware that broadcasting companies do not manufacture and sell televisions?
