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

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

This may seem an odd one but people who stare at you when they're driving past while you're walking. Not a casual glance but a weird as fuck stare for no apparent reason as if you're the first person they ever saw walking. I don't do anything weird or dress weird. It's just baffling.

You must have nice tits.

practically every dindu ever arrested on COPS refuses to acknowledge anything they've just been recorded on camera doing

you're supposed to just stfu until your lawyer shows up, and even then still shut the fuck up.

but as far as stupid shit this isn't even close. you never admit fault, especially with police.

Went on a train once and four kids were screaming, crying, running around and shouting at the top of their voices with no consideration of others around them. Parents who let their kids run wild and not teach them to at least behave grind my gears.

sometimes it feels like no form of entertainment exists anymore without some jackoff inserting their woke bullshit into it.

I listen to a lot of podcasts while working, and I’ve had to unsubscribe from so many lately because the woke stuff is just cartoonishly bad in all of them. Futurama is “stoking the fires of trans hate” because of the episode where Bender got a sex change. Game podcast hosts calling anyone who liked the old Ducktales NES game “capitalist shitheads who should feel ashamed” every tabletop podcast has some faggot whining about how problematic the system is. True crime podcast cursing a blue streak at a caller and calling him a misogynistic piece of shit because he referred to one of Jack the Rippers victims as a whore. Literature podcasts where they comb through any instance they can to decry the author as a bigot because one of the characters is a well spoken black man (seriously)

podcasts have become pozzed

I'll accept that I'm an autist for being pissed about this, but it bothers me how a lot of normie acquaintences, coworkers, and peers don't seem to have any hobbies or interests outside of sports and going to social events. Honestly, I don't care they like sports. To each their own. What bothers me is that seems to be the ONLY thing they follow. At least, that's the perception they give me. I don't think they're bad for being sports fans and normal people who have healthy social lives. It just seems so boring to me. Then again, I'm a weirdo with a KiwiFarms account. So what do I know?

I'm not sure what the situation is in the states, but here in Bongistan the amount of scam emails, text messages, phone calls one receives today is nothing short of absurd.

I'm the kinds guy who rarely makes or receives phone calls unless it's necessary for work, business, or something of that nature. And yet, both my primary phone and burner phone will have several duff text messages, a few scam calls with voicemails, not to mention emails EVERY FUCKING DAY.

Cybersecurity has gotten much better since the early days of the internet, phishing protection is supposedly more advanced, and online banking and other financial portals have bolstered their security tenfold. So what gives?

It's especially infuriating as we live in an unabashed clown world, where shit is more expensive than ever, the cost of living is become increasingly more expensive - and yet the penalties for just getting on with your shit could potentially be total, indelible, financial ruin. 99% of these scams are obvious, but that may just be coming from a sceptical, tech-savvy mindset. The elderly and otherwise retarded don't have such natural defences.

Anyway, that was a bit autistic, but you cunts get what I'm saying.

Simply put, protocols and encryption standards have changed/been reinforced, but cybersecurity in and of itself hasn't really improved that much. A lot of its implementation is reactionary moreso than anything else, not necessarily preventative.

EDIT to avoid doubleposting:
People who demonize capitalism over a minor inconvenience when they themselves also happen to profit off of capitalism and commercialism. Usually happens when porn artists and ethots get booted off of a monetary platform so the platform can start rebranding and sanitizing itself. These people certainly enjoy stirring up a huge fuss about the fact that this keeps happening, but I don't understand why they just don't create their own platforms/services for shilling their pornographic material.

Although, I'm also of the understanding that the few times such platforms have been set up, they've almost always been scams, so I wonder what that says about the target demographic.

In the same general vein, people who ask for advice and then bitch when it isn't what they wanted to hear, since they weren't really even asking for advice, just to be told the dumb shit they were doing was right.

I am a server and work long ass shifts (8-12 hours), in which we have to serve people inside/outside in 100 degree weather. We keep the staff size pretty light to keep the tip pool high, so those who work are working their butts off. Honestly, I really love the heat and the exhaustion after a long shift, so thats not what pisses me off. One of the managers got one of her old friends hired who must weigh 350 pounds. My boss is such a great judge of character and has a really good eye for new hires. We have a super low turn over rate, everyone who works with us is either persuing a degree or has a degree and has worked in the industry before. Smart people with experience. WHY WOULD THEY HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS SO PHYSICALLY UNFIT TO WORK A JOB THAT REQUIRES SOME LEVEL OF FITNESS. WHY. HOW.
My step counter will track me consistently at 10 miles with a nice 7 hour shift, which is a lot of work in super humid weather. I cant imagine someone who isn't used to that kind of pace would even want to work a job like that. Apparently she works another job too, at 60 hrs/week (which i dont believe because deathfats exaggerate but whatever)

Anyway, I wanted to put my biases aside and think that I spend too much time on KF and it was clouding my judgement. NOPE
Her second weekend caused her so much pain, she popped some pus ball in her knee, had to go to urgent care and will be in a boot for 8 weeks. She said she'll be back at work on Sunday. (plz no)
I am starting to think that the fatphobia HAES thing may have entered public consciousness. People who have never seen or been around a deathfat before may have no idea that most of those people lie about their abilities to be active, and the general public is none the wiser to their deception. It seemed to obvious to me, but everyone else was oblivious to the fact the poor girl was at risk of hurting herself, badly. Which she did.

With the exception of people that I know won't do that shit, I always just ask them what they were planning to do and then just say "sounds good to me".

Saves me the time and eventual annoyance that comes with actually giving a shit.

In a very strange and fucked up way, at least that deathfat had enough dedication to work until suffering debilitating injury though. Even if that work wasn't necessarily equivalent to what a healthy person is capable of.

One hopes it'll serve as a wakeup call to start slowly but steadily shedding the pounds. But it probably won't, let's be real.

Still have to somewhat admire someone who's at least making the effort to stay physically active. Deathfat's not gonna stop being deathfat without doing exactly that.

I have also had conversations with women before.

On a related note, I remember giving a blue pill dumbass friend of mine some advice, on some several occasions, as he was making full retard life choices with his then girlfriend. This was last year.

A conversation we had last week brought up several of the things I'd discussed with him in relation to his ex-girlfriend. And yet, it was as though he had no idea what I was talking about at all.

Obviously back then, I was clearly just talking to myself, or jerking off this guy's need to complain, bitch and moan. What a royal fucking waste of time. I'm not normally one to really go out on a limb and help people when they need advice (for this exact reason - they don't listen,) but here I made an exception. That'll be the last time.

Those fucking Chromebook ads all over YouTube. The ones that keep banging on about being safe and secure because of "built in virus protection". I hate them because it's based on an implied lie that Windows doesn't have it when Windows has had it for years. It's like they're using Windows of 7+ years ago as their rival and it pisses me off because some people probably believe it. It's like Ford making an ad saying "And our cars have built in wheels". Well no shit - so do your competitors. If you're touting fucking Android as a secure OS, gods help you!

ChromeOS sucks. I used them for work once. The pieces of shit kept having internet connectivity problems.

podcasts have become pozzed

I might have mentioned it elsewhere here, but a now-discontinued podcast I largely enjoyed had an episode where I stopped listening before it was even a quarter of the way through.

The host chose to interview a black person for this particular podcast, which in itself wasn't an issue. However, George Floyd had just died and the ensuing rioting had just started, so the host decided to abandon his usual format and topics and ask the guy for his opinions which quickly turned into a spergout over DWB, BLM, and white privilege. This ended up ironic, if not hypocritical, to a degree when the guest admitted he had been adopted as a kid by a white couple.

It's one thing to ask a guest for their quick thoughts on current events. But to let that become the main topic in a podcast discussing apolitical topics is too much.

I'm not sure what the situation is in the states, but here in Bongistan the amount of scam emails, text messages, phone calls one receives today is nothing short of absurd.

It's pretty bad in the states, too. Ignoring the clueless telemarketers and sales people that just can't or won't take no for an answer, there's robocalls, text messages, and live operators calling from Southeast Asia. These calls either come and go in spurts or a come in a never-ending deluge. What's scary to me is the number of scams intended to commit identity theft, especially against senior citizens in the form of phishing attempts for their private Medicare information. Even though I'm not old enough for Medicare, my former boss was. Ever since I took over the business after her passing, I stil get regular calls from foreigners whose opening line is some variation of, "I see you're on Medicare..." They usually freeze and hang up when I tell them, "Gee, you must have bad information because I don't have that."

What's worse is that the people behind these junk calls tend to spoof/forge different numbers each time which makes it rather difficult to block their calls with the usual blocking techniques. Equally horrifying is the fact that both ignoring the calls or asking live operators to stop calling seem to have little if any impact on reducing the number of nuisance calls.

This guacamole has the fucking avocado pit in it just to be a dick and purposely waste space.
If anyone has another explanation for this, please enlighten me. This is the first time I’ve heard of this.

The pit reputedly reduces oxidation and prevents the guac from browning.

Honestly horny lonely men should be mercilessly ridiculed, harassed and shamed for watching and especially funding titty asmr/streamers/gamers whatever shit. If not for the sake that you are being taken advantage of so some bitch (and her bf that btw isnt you) can live nicely while youre still molding on momma's basement

I'm not sure which is worse; the women who use their sexuality to tease horny/desperate men into bankrolling their NEET lifestyle or the men that shower these e-thots with money and somehow think it buys them the right to do whatever they want with them (protip: it doesn't and @BATHMETHAMPHETAMINE is right that many have a bf/husband and still grift).

It's probably easier and simpler to say they deserve each other and the resulting drama.

My mom loves to turn the TV all the way up to the point where I can feel the bass from outside. What pisses me off about this (aside from letting the whole house know what lifetime movie she's watching at 3 AM) is that she has the audacity to complain about her poor hearing and not being able to understand what people are saying. I tried explaining to her many times in the past that maybe it's because her TV's cranked all the way up to 11 like it's a fucking movie theater, but she just doesn't understand that and just blames it on going to a lot of concerts when she was a teenager, therefore she has to crank it up so loud so that she can hear what B rated actress says to B rated actor at generic dinner scene 12. I keep telling her that her hearing will keep going down when her ear drum is subjected to loud decimals, but she just ignores it.

She's said many times in the past that she's going to get a hearing aid, but never does.
