Grinding gears.

A lot of people on my facebook don't bother looking up information before they post a status. The one that really annoys me is when they post about a celebrity dying when they actually didn't. Google isn't that hard to use, but I guess IGNORE ALL GOOGLE RESULTS.
Speaking of Facebook, I get really annoyed by the chain letters. Because spam will totally help. REPOST SO THEY CAN'T TAKE YOUR PASSWORD. LIKE THIS TO HELP.

Chain letters and "liking" something don't do shit. Besides, the things they claim are inaccurate as hell anyway.

I've probably doomed several hundred children to painful deaths by leukemia by not liking Facebook statuses.

I'm a monster.
Your username doomed you from the start. *SIGH*

Yes, having the word "pickle" in your user name can show how much of an evil person you are. :stupid:

Oh, you know what else I hate? When you're driving in a parking lot and you see a pedestrian who wants to cross but they're not at the crosswalk. But you stop and wave them across and give them a little smile and then they just stare straight ahead and then leisurely stroll across the parking lot at a snail's pace while you have traffic backed up behind you. I'm not asking you to run across the road or anything but at least show me the same consideration I gave you by not fucking acting like you're walking through goddamn Disney Land. Put some hustle in the bustle!
 
I hate it when a really good book is turned into a movie by a bunch of hacks who know little to nothing about the source material and are only looking to make some money.
 
I sometimes do eBaying in my spare time. I'll buy something from a thrift store and then turn around and sell it on the internet to try to make a little money. Most of the things I sell are old action figures that I find.

That being said, I found an action figure from one of the Transformers movies at a second-hand store a few years ago. It was complete, had all its limbs, electronics worked, even had the instructions. I bought it for $25, brought it home and sat on it for several years. I pulled it out and listed it at $39 with $9 shipping. $15 is a nice profit, but not exceptional. I'm not one of those guys who will list the same item over and over again at $80 simply because they think that it should be $80. I'm already undercutting the other auctions. I'm not greedy, but I do want to make some money on the thing. That's the point.

So when somebody messages me with the statement "$25 total" and nothing else, I can't help but be a bit irate. You want me to waste my time and sell this thing to you at a loss AND violate eBay policies to boot.

No. If I have to, I'll lower the price by a few bucks and relist it. But I'm not going to sell the damned thing at a 50% discount just for you.
On a similar note, people who list games on ebay and put RARE in the description, then grossly inflate the price. Claiming it's rare doesn't make it so you douche!
 
Oh, I know it. I also hate those auctions that scream, "L@@K SUPER RARE ACTION FIGURE FROM '80S TRANSFORMERS TMNT HE-MAN WOW!" and then it's a Shredder missing all of his armor and has his paint all scratched up.
 
Another thing that grinds my gears: bacon. I'm not a fan of bacon. It's too oily, it's too greasy, and every time I cook it it either burns or comes out soggy. I don't understand the internet's infatuation with it, either. It's fried pork fat. That's it.

Turkey bacon is so much better.
