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

Personally, I knew someone like this who couldn't be bothered with me until they needed some sort of favor from me. Funny how that works, huh?

It sucks more when it happens in a professional setting and you cant be as candid with how you express your thoughts. On two separate occasions, my long time job has seen clients decide to go elsewhere only to call back in the future out of the blue asking for the business to fix messes for them. Each time, I thought, "If you were so dissatisfied with the service then, what makes it so appealing now?"

No but I'm only going to get actively pissed about it if I'm making it clear I don't want to talk to them and they keep it up. For instance, reading a book and actively ignoring them, playing a game on my phone and actively ignoring them, etc. and they're too autistic to fuck off.

I use Facebook mostly to keep up on what goes on around me. It's really stupid that the default sort is "shit I don't care about" when I always want "newest" to see if there's a wreck on the highway or some event happening or something. About 95% of the time by the time something interesting pops up it's 3 days after the thing happened.

That happens plenty without the excuse of autism, it's called "extroverts are fucking assholes who don't understand why anyone would tell them to fuck off".

Had this happen a couple days ago and the only response I could muster was "fine," Then this absolute fucking retard who can't take a hint tried to engage in more conversation and me not wanting any argument humored the conversation (rather than telling them to get ass fucked by a Mack truck) and had to endure a pathetic pity parable for a couple days until I told the nigger I don't care that you feel like shit and you should for the misery they cause people around them. Then I get told I'm a mean meanie pants (which I've never hid) and that I'll regret I ever had forsaken their "friendship,"

I'd curb stomp this waste of chromosomes if I didn't value my own life. Anyways, this has been my MATI Talk. This has been possible by forum viewers like you. Thank you.

This is the worst fucking thing, especially when it’s in a more romantic sense. Don’t be a fucking cucked fucker and just say it isn’t working out. Then if you were too childish to do that, don’t think after a year I am gonna even entertain it. Get fucked.

Know a guy like this. Or rather, I DID know someone like this. I considered the guy a friend, but he moved abroad and basically cut everyone out of his life. Ignored all messages, save a one word reply every now and again. He'd ignore everything I said, then send a message six months later asking for a favour, being all friendly, only to ghost again regardless of the reply he got.

Fuck people like that.

Everyone's going to forget my birthday again this year because the NYC pride parade is the Sunday before it... I curse being born (redacted) years after the stonewall riots, and I curse the grave of the firefags who started them.

Aww :( well I know it doesn't mean much coming from an internet rando, but happy birthday kiwi fam.

This one is way less serious than my last, but still infuriating. I hate when I'm playing a S.T.A.L.K.E.R game and don't save for several hours, then when I go to hit F6 to quick save but accidentally press F7 and reload the last save point. I remember doing this 3 days in a row playing SOC. Gave a very audible "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME," that made my poor dog jump the second time and the 3rd time I was so mad, I stared at the screen in a daze. After a minute I turned of my PC and went to bed. I didn't play the game for 2 years.

Twitter also has a tendency to highlight or recommend tweets from people who seem more like "literally who?" types than anyone worth interacting with. The bad part is, these sites either disallow the ability to stop these BS recommendations or make it so difficult to find the right settings in the options that the path of least resistance is to do nothing and try to manually ignore/dismiss them instead.

Facebook doesn't surprise me, though. The site inundates people with ads for online casinos the instant online gambling becomes legal in their jurisdictions. Hiding ads from these casinos seems futile as it seems like ads for 2-3 more new casinos pop up afterwards. I get that online ads may be inevitable, especially on free services. However, too many tends to annoy users and cause them to use said services as infrequently as reasonably possible.

I once had an employer that appreciated short, to-the-point status reports and questions regarding projects. The ability to communicate effectively with as few words as possible may be a dying art, but t here are those that still appreciate it when it's appropriate.

Faceberg is shit. I have had to help out more boomers who got fucked up by some malicious ad or scam ad on Facebook than every other source of malware combined.

It seriously pisses me off when someone keeps lying about something major after they've been caught red-handed as they're doing it, like how practically every dindu ever arrested on COPS refuses to acknowledge anything they've just been recorded on camera doing, and shouts things like "I'm not resisting" as they actively struggle with cops on the ground refusing to present their hands to be cuffed or insist they didn't run and weren't hiding as they're getting dragged out of the brush they were hiding in, covered in plant detritus and dirt.

When it happens personally, it's even worse. My ex-wife cheated on me, admitted she did it, then left to go sleep with him again on the day she asked me for a divorce. Because the dumbass left her PC unlocked, I was able to get all her chat logs with the guy. The next time we talked, I confronted her about some of the awful shit she told him about me and yet more shit she'd lied about, and she denied it all until I showed her my copy of the logs. Then she still denied other individual things (assuming I hadn't read all the logs) until I showed her those parts. She actually wondered aloud "how did you even know that?" at one point as if she genuinely didn't understand what I had. Then during our divorce mediation, she flatly denied ever cheating on me at all (despite knowing I had proof that she did) and only owned up to it when my attorney threatened to depose her boyfriend to ask him how she could afford the fancy things she'd acquired recently with only her own meager income to pay for it.

Both examples boggle my mind. Denial accomplished literally nothing and had no chance of helping. In the COPS example, everything's recorded on video, and there's simply no denying the dindu's actions. I know "deny everything" is standard procedure in criminal proceedings and practically all defendants initially plead "not guilty" at arraignment in hope of making a plea bargain, but it's just so absurd when a person lies about something that multiple people are witnessing at that moment and is being recorded by multiple cameras. It doesn't make you seem less guilty and won't get you off the hook; it just makes you look like a lying asshole. Everyone knows you're lying, including you. Why bother?

With my ex-wife, she knew I had logs of all her chats with her lover and photos of them both together being affectionate. Denying it during mediation accomplished nothing and if she'd gone to court with that claim, I could easily prove she was lying. I honestly got the impression she hadn't even told her attorney I had anything, because as soon as my attorney brought it up he seemed blindsided by it and the whole tone of the mediation session changed and her sky-high demands came crashing back to earth really fast with almost no fight at all.

So why bother denying stuff like this? I don't get it. There's got to be a name for it.

Thanks for reading my blog.
