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

I suspect DD traffics mostly in coffee. They run out of pastries by noon.

I think they just call themselves "Dunkin'" now, distancing them from the "Donuts" part of the original name, and sell mostly coffee/lattes/whatever, but not really donuts.

I believe it was a decade or so ago when DD changed its slogan to "American Runs on Dunkin" and started to deemphasize the donuts as part of the health kick at that time and part of a larger trend for niche stores to sell and promote items other than those for which they're known best. Another example of the latter is Arby's that now sells all kinds of food items other than roast beef sandwiches.

I usually don't deal with FedEx but I bought something online that requires a signature.

Is FedEx requiring physical signatures in your area or just requiring someone present to get a name for the delivery? My morning job frequently sends FedEx packages and every single delivery confirmation I've printed off has the name of the person that received it but no physical signature. Instead, the driver keypunches in the person's name and signs with "C19" to indicate signatures aren't being taken due to COVID-19. As a result, I can see that a package was received by "A. Smith" but there isn't a signature being captured.

That when the CWC news broke out, people were whining more about his pronouns whether it's twitterfags insisting that Chris be referred to with female pronouns or people having freaking out and doomposting because Chris was referred to as a she. It's the gayest hill to die on to care this much about the pronouns of a mother fucking rapist.

Other than that it pisses me off when people double down on idiotic beliefs or never admit anyone who they support or shares views with them is wrong, especially with the recent #IStandWithBiden shit on twitter.

When I'm on the bus with big headphones on (not noise-cancelling but pretty damn close) and I can still hear some fucking moron jawing on and on with the driver or another passenger, and always about fucking politics or the coronavirus. No one seems to know what an indoor voice is.

People who think they always have to have their foot on one of the pedals in their car, now I'm reminded why brake shops do so much business. Additionally, your car will not explode if you go the speed limit on that slight hill or curve.

Prob been posted here before and is common but idc, I fucking hate watching other people eat and others seeing me eat
I don't know why but there's just something about someone else no matter who watching me eat that makes me irrationally angry, same with watching someone else eat

Of recent times I can't stand being sent "funny" memes anymore if you don't message me in between. I dont give a single fuck about what shitty article says about "but they thought of you when they seen it" its legit not even a friendship at that point and just goes into pointless one sided spam. Even moreso if you have to click it to even see the content.

This irks me mostly if you're local and can just text or call if you ever wanted to do something, but if you're just regarding me as the guy that plays tf2 so I'mma send him 20 gmod vids from 2008 then go fuck yourself.

Ever since some of my friends discovered TikTok, they spam those videos in our group chats several times a day. It is rather annoying to keep checking my phone just to see some lame video. These people are in their mid to late 20s, mind you.

Update I guess, but I got the package today. I didn't actually have to sign due to said covid guidelines. They just needed a person to be there to hand it over. My boyfriend also had a package that arrived via fedex today too so I guess it worked out. His package was beat to shit though (traveled all the way from Europe) so you win some, lose some.

Starbucks "running out of supplies" and kicking all the customers out. Twice in as many weeks.

YOU HAD ONE JOB.

At several points in her career, Sarah Silverman had to explain her act. No, honey, we get the joke. You just bombed.

Similar thing: I loathe it when I’m eating and asked what I’m having for lunch. Might be because my coworkers are fatasses that disgust me when I hear them talking about food.

 

[The Last Stand]

When @The Last Stand posts those old ass black and white GILFs in every response.

Or gushes about Killary Klinton. Worse gimmick ever.

Hillary was considered a smoke show at one time. If this were 92, McKinnon would be a pretty accurate portrayal.

Carol Burnett was just about the only woman comedian I ever found funny. Whoopi Goldberg wasn't half bad...until she woked out. Whatever the hell Ted Danson did to her must have really put her off white guys for life.

I blame the Alternative Comedy movement in the late 80s. Predictably enough it was the UK that shat it out in the first place. Joking without a license is verboten now. RIP Benny Hill :-{

 

[Punished Magician]

When the supposedly high-end earbuds that came with your phone break after a simple attempt to clean the earwax out of them with a q-tip.
On a related note, when you're stuck with a shitty dollarstore-quality pair after being used to listening through good ones. BUT AT LEAST THESE ONES AREN'T EARWAX MAGNETS THAT BREAK AT THE DROP OF A HAT

People who drive under the speed limit during morning and evening commutes. Real nice that you don’t have anywhere better to be but guess how many people around you do? Now guess how many of them want to butcher you and your entire family.

EDIT: double fuck you if you do this because the sun is in your eyes. Buy some sunglasses at Walmart; they’re $10 and no one is going to care how they look on you because you’re going to be leaving them in your car.

“but muh muh muh I wear glasses, I’d need prescription sunglasses!” get them then you poverty-ridden faggot. If you can’t drive under the same conditions as everyone around you then you shouldn’t have a license.

People who go through the drive-thru for coffee shops and order fucking breakfast. You are history’s greatest monsters. You are holding up the line for everyone else who just want caffeine and to get to work on time and you’re doing it so you can overpay for some flash-frozen piece of shit that some spotty teenager is microwaving, and I don’t think that’s punishment enough for you. Go inside for that or get sterilized.

My question was aborted by the Great Rollback. How far under the speed limit are you talking?

My patience threshold cuts out at 10+ under on surface roads. There is no reason to be doing 35 in a 45 in a private vehicle with no vehicles within 10 car lengths in front of you unless you are in a blizzard or torrential rain, or you are a filthy criminal stupid enough to believe aberrant driving in any direction makes you less noticeable to law enforcement than just doing the same thing as everyone around you.

I make much greater allowances when on the freeway because people in my area crash and explode on it on a regular basis so Stupid Games is much more in full effect.

She's just a bitter, grumbling millionaire now.

[The Curmudgeon]

Most of the customers I deal with feel like they came out of a Mad TV sketch. I love Mad TV, but I don't want those characters to be real. It's painful to realize that someone really is behaving in an awful, embarrassing way. Like yes, these people really ARE like that!
