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

I have a useless fuck of a coworker who either stands around talking to customers all day, or performs useless and unnecessary tasks to look like he's "working," only occasionally coming to do his actual fucking job before fucking off to God-knows-where, often leaving me to do pretty much all of the work by myself. Additionally, since our job involves carrying a radio that we pass off to other workers when we go on break, any time this fucker sees me, he passes me the radio just so that he can dick around and not do his job. Whenever I pass by him and we have a busy shift, this guy will act like he's my manager, saying things like "Come on, we gotta get this stuff done," even though it's clear that he just wants me to do his job. The one time I got on his case and told him to do his fucking job, he got mad at me because I was "yelling at him." On top of all of that, this asshole likes to talk shit about me to other coworkers behind my back, whose gossip always comes back to me because of how flimsy the accusations are from the sound of things. For instance, I was recently asked by another coworker, who has only been here a few months, if I "yelled" at him, even though the aforementioned incident happened at least a year ago, which goes to show how hard he clings to slights against him.

This guy has been employed by this place for years, much longer than I've been there.

the proximity of the end of the google search box tho the clear box X
its even worse on android with touch screen, impossible to append to your long search terms without hitting delete
 
Twitter's "please make an account" pop-up has gotten extra-aggressive and it makes it hard to trawl for content.

Going to have to dive into uBlock to keep that shit from showing up now.

Edit: Lovely, it doesn't even let you scroll down if you do that. Whichever intern came up with this shit should be dragged into the street and shot.

All the times I've nearly been turned into roadmeat in a crosswalk by some asshole who apparently can't decipher traffic signals-I'm observant, I never do anything flamboyantly stupid like jaywalking at intersections so that shit makes me homicidally angry.

I always hate it when a family comes to stay in the holiday cottage next door. UK families are awful most of the time - they don't give two shits about privacy, the kids are out of control and whenever you politely ask them to lower the volume of their screamfests past 11 PM the parents have the gall to tell you to stop ruining their kids' fun and they're only expressing themselves. Jfc modern British parenting is a dumpster fire.

When your s/o makes plans without consulting you first, then telling you the day before YOU have plans.
i may already have plans bitch and YES that plan may include doing absolutely nothing but it’s my plan. My s/o fucking knows I deal with the most depraved of humans during the week and HATE being told I have to socialize when my tolerance for other humans has already hit its limit.
Fuck Off Already.

God I wish it was limited to only women, though the men who do this shit tend to be the controlling types who get their balls in torsion over you 'ruining his plans'. They'll autism out directly after you point out you don't like that. The women who do that will instead hold a grudge for upwards of two to three weeks before they mention it.

When people overanalyze fantasy. I'm not saying fantasy shouldn't be open to interpretation or that there shouldn't be explanations, backstories, or any type of criticism. What irritates is when fantasy is either taken too literally or everything in a story is seen as symbolism. Again, there's no harm in people choosing to do that overall, but sometimes it can be pretentious and annoying. For instance, just as a quick example, imagine someone wondering why Bugs Bunny can talk or act human. Does it really matter? He's a cartoon! We don't need a 50-page thesis on why Bugs Bunny talks, dresses up like a woman, or anything else weird.

On the same note, it bothers when people try to apply fantasy to reality and vice versa. Put another way, people who can't separate fact from fiction.

My Mom is like this. Ditto on the "I told them you'd be at this social function thing you'd rather actually have food poisoning than go to" thing.

I blame my Dad. My wife hates people and I don't have to guess what she's thinking because she always says everything that comes into her mind.

So thing that pisses me off-- when my Dad shit-talks my wife as though she pulls the enraging typical female shit my Mom does. I broke the chain, motherfucker, don't put that evil on me.

"Huh huh, she didn't ever mention this, did she"

"You can't argue with her. Just nod and say yes." THAT'S WHY YOU TWO FIGHT ALL THE TIME IDIOT! COMMUNICATE!

When your laptop fan starts making horrible dying noises and sometimes stopping, coming back when you restart, and is obviously going to die any hour now, so you order a replacement and the tools you need to install it. The fan continues making godawful screeching noises the whole time you're waiting for the replacement.

Then the replacement shows up and the fan is suddenly working fine again and has been for over a week.

And on top of that, the battery is nearly entirely dead, so you'll have to replace it very soon before it goes from instantly dying if the power cord is disconnected to just plain not working at all.

And it's one of the worst MacBook Pro designs, the unibody design that needs all kinds of T4 and T5 screwdrivers and shit like the utterly reprehensible tri-lobe #1 just to get into it, even to replace the battery.

I don't want to open this thing in its entire future existence again even once, much less twice. I suppose I'll just wait for one of the components to outright die and then replace both of them even if the other is still working.
