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

People who let their cats roam in the open. In down under we have a declining native wildlife issue and the same people who show the most concern for it are the same people who let their cats out to gobble up native birds and possums. If you confront them about it they go in to raptures about their pets and how they would never hurt anything. Fucking retards.

Those undertones were definitely there in the Peter Jackson films. When my brother and I watched the Rings movies back in like middle school, we would call Frodo names like "Frito Faggins".

That scene in the mines of moria, after the cave troll rammed Frodo w/ a pike, where Frodo exposed his mithril shirt underneath his clothes, looked super gay.

The entire party acting like awestruck virgins seeing a naked lady for the first time, didn’t help.

Way different than depicted in the books. That was the gayest interp that Jackson created for his movie. I prefer the awesome but cheesy cartoon versions from the late 70’s/ early 80’s.

I have a co-worker who got banned for misgendering a girl who hadn't even announced her transition yet.

One of my friends got dog-piled and was forced to apologize to a troon because he had accidentally misgendered "her" in a Discord vc despite both not knowing and the troon having a male voice. Them and their enablers are some of the most vindictive people out there, it isn't hard to correct or remind somebody, especially if it's their first time. Take this as my thread-related tax.

Salty about when this black guy approached me while I was downtown with friends and asked me for change. Felt generous so I gave him the $2 I had on me (don't normally carry cash). This dude violently grabbed my hand and yelled out how chinks like me carry lots of money and should give out to black people more. Bitch I gave you change, you should be lucky I gave you any at all. I'm broke too, just wanted to be nice.

It pisses me off when people like you give money to niggers.

There was a time when the human misery I saw every day at my job made me feel intensely guilty and I therefore became very generous. I would typically give at least a $5 bill to whoever was lucky enough to choose me to panhandle. One night I got panhandled as I was leaving the gas station and handed the guy $5. He took it and actually asked me if he could have more. I just stood there for a moment, speechless that someone would actually be so ungrateful. I don't carry cash anymore.

This is why I don't give money to panhandlers/homeless whatsoever. Every single time you are gracious to these fucks they turn around and either demand you for more, or simply get angry at you for being generous. "How DARE you assume I need your help" type shit. The worst is when you tell people "Hey you shouldn't give hand outs to panhandlers", and the idiot you're trying to warn gets uppity and defensive for the panhandler in question. I don't care if they're telling me they don't feel well or are "hungry". Save the energy and time for things that actually matter.

Sometimes, I get pissed off at what seems like rampant complacency. For example, and this ties into my previous rant about bad people, it seems like society is content to tolerate bad people to certain point. Sure, they might make token complains just to sound like they're taking a stand or whatever, but when push comes to shove they will ulitmately ignore what bad people do. They'll even make excuses and double standards for them. However, if you've decided you've had enough and stand up to a bad person, then the complainers will condemn YOU as an insensitive bully or a jerk because you don't care about what the piece of shit is going through. Never mind that same bad person is making their lives hell too. Just god forbid you fight back or put your foot down!

It's because they know you're not a hooligan, who won't think twice about breaking their legs. It's unfortunate, but kindness is often mistaken for weakness. There's also the fact people don't want others to be actually better than them.

The Curmudgeon said:
On the same note, if you don't fight back or try to be kind then you'll be derided as a coward by the same assholes who also don't want you to fight back. Like you can't win either way because society demands that you either be an asshole or a complacent part of the herd. There's no room for principles or independence. The irony is that "the people" genuinely believe they stand for something! You either aim low or stand for nothing. All while keeping up a pretense that everything is okay or that anything is truly normal.

It feels that way for many things in society. The status quo sucks. People often suck too, but it looks like they more or less want that. It makes me not take any calls for activism seriously. I look at all these causes and ideologies and it makes me cringe, laugh, and sigh at once in varying degrees.

It's about status. I can't remember the last time I saw a dog who didn't have his nuts hanging out. Makes them look tough.

Also, there is a growing movement against male circumcision. I'm sure it plays into that. People feel emasculated and powerless already, so they lean into male symbols.

When I see a dog walkin around with its nuts hanging out, I don't think "tough," I just think the dog looks kinda awkward, honestly. Doubly true if it's just a little dachshund or something.

So far as the thread topic goes - That shit when someone's nostrils make a whistling sound every time they breathe and they don't do anything about it.

The Logan Mailloux situation. 17 year old gets head from girl, posts snapchat of top of her head, guys ask what she looks like so he posts her insta. Logan apologizes to the girl with a paragraph and she doesn't think it was good enough of an apology and is going on an interview tour right before his draft day. There's a decent shot it cost him anywhere from a couple million to 50+.

What he did wasn't a rare occurrence nor was it as bad as usual.

"Logan" is a dumb fuck who shared it online in the first place.

Lately, bicyclists. I swear, I'm seeing more of them now than ever. And most of them fucking beg to be hit by a bus with their two-wheeled assholery.
Click to expand...
When they aren't driving out of their bike lanes, they're busy in crowds absolutely destroying your commute. And they always swerve too, it's like they have no idea how to stay in their designated lane.

Most people have said that bicyclists want the responsibilities of a pedestrian with the benefits of being a car/truck driver, and honestly I'd say most bicyclists I see fit that to a T.

When people seem intent on harming themselves due to lack of common sense. Relative of mine is a boomer, but not elderly. She's a bit absentminded. I noticed she was microwaving something in the kitchen that was taking awhile, but didn't take much notice. A little later I'm talking to another family member and out of the corner of my eye I see something on fire in there. We rush to throw a damp towel over the thing and take it outside. Turns out she wrapped a couple potatoes in a tea towel (not even a damp one, a dry one) and microwaved it on the baked potato setting for who knows how long. Towel was charred. I can't imagine if we had been elsewhere. She was in her room with the door closed, obliviously watching tv. Later I'm sauteeing a pan of mushrooms and onions. She walks over and tries to pick up a mushroom. First of all lady, don't touch food with your bare hands. Second, you wanna burn yourself? I honestly don't know if it's budding senility or just being dumb.

Blu Rays that keep freezing even at one moment no matter how much you clean them. I thought that was a problem that went away with DVDs? I've cleaned and rest my player a thousand times and yet my Blu ray if Halloween 2 freeze for like ten seconds at one spot.


(And yes ik go digital or sail the high seas and all that) I just like to own a physical copy of my favorite horror movies call me old fashioned but I'm an old fag I. That way.
