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

[The Curmudgeon]

Welp, I did think of something else that pisses me off after all!

In past call center work I've done, there are alway customers who don't understand how to use the address bar in their browser. When I tell them to put in a website's address, they go to Google and put it in the Google seach bar instead. How I know this? After they say they put the address in, they tell me nothing shows up. When I ask them to explain, they read off all the search results and confess they put the address in Google. It makes me want to wring their necks through the headset. Mind you, boomers are the usual culprits but I've encounters plenty of zoomers, millennials, and Gen Xers who do the same shit. How do these people NOT understand what the fucking address bar is and how to use it?

This relates to my post on the last page with people not knowing the Internet. In this context, it pisses me off.

My Mom has never figured out that telephones haven't been voice-powered since what, the 40s?

Me: Hell?

Her: HELLO!

People always say to use "Ok Google" to search for something. I don't want to repeat or shout to get something which I can type it much faster.

I have very little desire to talk to humans. I have even less desire to talk to my computer/tablet/phone/car.

Retards who keep bellowing “HEY SIRI!!!” twenty times in a row at their phone to ask something inane that they could have gotten the answer to in three seconds of typing and not annoying the fuck out of everyone else.

I blame science fiction. "Machines you can talk to" were a really common trope from the 30s onwards. It was supposed to be "gee-whiz," and more impressive than just hitting buttons.

And I mean, it is more impressive, from a technical standpoint. But it's still obnoxious and less efficient than just typing.

Speaking of, my phone seems very generous as to what can be considered "OK Google." It interrupts my music or audio book because it "heard" a summons to go "BLOOP! . . . I'M SORRY I DON'T UNDERSTAND"

Petty but people who take pictures of their screen with their phone instead of using the built-in screenshot function. Even consoles can do it now but NO I let me get my fucking phone out and take a garbage quality video and upload it.

It's more effort to take a picture of a screen.

I thought a good shitpost would be to take a polaroid of a screen.

I bought a blu ray of gone with the wind and of course it has a sticker slapped on urging the viewer to check out a website that puts the film in historic Contex oh well at least it's a removable sticker and the film isn't edited in any way

Liking few Mylene Farmer songs since forever (one of the only few non-english singing ones I enjoy), I suddenly decided to look up lyric translations.
Are...are they all Like This.

When people post memes online from a screenshot. And don't crop the unnecessary stuff from it. I see that your battery is low, charge it.

80's and 90's nostalgiabait. Those decades were gaudy and dreary. I don't care if it was your childhood; grow the hell up.

Girls who think they're funny because they're loud and regurgitate twitter-speak.

In today's age, everything has to be recorded on a camera.

Bit petty but, teenage weightlifters at the gym. They come in groups of 4-6 and just sit on the equipment and be annoying/loud. Acting like they are having a party in the gym. This isn’t always so, but more common than not.

The movie cobra is only 87 minutes long but apparently the original cut ran longer at almost 2 and half or 3 hours.

Warner Bros demanded the film be edited down to 90 mins so it could be given a wide blockbuster release. Oh and to rub salt in the wounds, they destroyed the longer workprint cut and we'll never get an extended director's cut of cobra.


Similarly a lot of the more graphic death scenes in the later Friday the 13th movies were edited down so the films would be r rated, and paramount destroyed all THAT footage too.

Fucking A right. I think it honestly warps people's perceptions.

"Just sayin'..." or "No offense, but..."
Don't be a passive aggressive fag. Just say, "Yo, you suck."

My dad has his own variation: "My opinion." It drives my mother and I crazy.

I have very mixed thoughts about the Mainland Chinese, but mainlander tourists are the most obnoxious pieces of work I've witnessed out of any of them. Their total lack of awareness is astounding. Usually, these tourists evidently lack any manners and consideration for others when traveling abroad. Shoving and barging into people without apologizing is pretty common place. They show no consideration for differing customs and ideas when they go to different nations. At landmarks, mainlanders constantly block paths and views to take selfies even to the point where they trespass. Never once have I ever heard please" or "thank you" come out of them. I know it's their culture and in a way it's due to ignorance, but if the rest of Asia hate them for their notoriety, then there's really no excuse.
