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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I can think of a few things that grind my gears. You can rate me autistic or disagree if you want.

- The whole concept of being trans and everything associated with it. Get help, you are not a man.
- People who chew with their mouth open. It's not only gross, it's also annoying and shows you have a lack of manners too.
- People who comment "Who is listening in (insert current year)" on literally every old song ever. Why does it matter who's listening to an old song in the current year?
- Talking about politics. I do not give a rat's ass about who you voted for or what your political beliefs are. I especially hate it when there's talk of politics when it's not relevant.
- Current slang. The only place I wanna hear "cooked" is a kitchen.
- Gen alpha parents who can't think of any better way to parent than just sticking their kid in front of an iPad

In the holidays I got to spend some quality time with surviving grandparents, spending many an hour discussing their lives and what life was like back then. Now I'm nostalgic for a country that no longer exists.

My last remaining grandparent is 102, and hanging on by a thread. Every time I talk to her, she says "I can't believe what's happening in this country!".

Every video game nowadays wants to be Fortnite with these wacky cosmetics or crossover events.

Black Ops 6 has this Squid Game crossover event, okay? Never heard of it. Everybody gets a green and white jumpsuit operator to wear. EVERYBODY. Enemy team can wear it, friendly team can wear it.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO TO SHOOT IF EVERYBODY LOOKS THE SAME?!

Treasure those moments. When those old people share their memories, this is a moment to enrich yourself that you are a moron if you ignore it.

I dislike phrases that single out a gender or sex and apply a common sense standard, because it gives the impression (to some) that breaking that rule is less condemnable when done to the other group. Logically that's not the case, but humans are not logical.

So it should be "you should not hit anyone": you don't hit men, you don't hit women,

Society has a lot of double standards that I don't completely understand. Here's one example: the N word. Black people can say "nigga," but it's a problem when another ethnicity say it, even when they're reciting/singing lyrics that HAVE that word on it. If you don't want people to say it, lead by example.

Most of them don't really give a shit unless it's used in a seriously vitriolic context (as in threatening to kill someone and calling them a nigger.) The faux offense that's taken is all about control; knowing that if someone who isn't black (pretty much just white people though, let's be real) says it then they have a free pass from society at large to act like a savage at worst and to also be seen as a poor little victim. The relatively recent push to act like "nigga" is also on par with "nigger" is just capitalizing on all of this.

I made a post about my feelings on it if you care to read about it. I don't want to repeat myself if I don't have to.

The point I'm making is that these societal double standards hurt more than they help since we SHOULD just treat each other with respect. When you add exceptions, people will exploit them.

Troubleshooting as tech support pisses me off as there are countless people out there that are technologically illiterate or entitled in thinking their issues would always be immediately resolved. Sometimes, I have to handhold them each step of the way to prevent any implicit context.

All the people with mid to bad physiques who tout the "no-fun" lifting style where you go light and leave 6 reps in reserve and never try anything with athletic purposes.
 
When women use an excessive number of question and exclamation marks to emphasize their confusion.

Examples:
I put in 5% of my $50,000 salary every pay period and didn't think about it until I had to roll it over a few years later and somehow there was $8000 in there?????????

When you're talking to somebody on the phone, the receiver reverbs. (I'm not an expert on sound, but it's like you can hear the person, but you can hear the vibrations more than the actual person.) I think it's called reverb.

If you've ever been involved in the development or distribution of graphics software that doesn't automatically convert imported/embedded images to the document's color space, while also having "Convert embedded images to document color space" as an export option that's ticked off by default, please be aware that I will find you, and once I've found you, I will give you a very strong talking-to.

And then feed you to the pigs, you retarded nigger.

Yesterday, I took out the trash, and when I came back inside I didn't have my cellphone!

I spent a sweaty hour sifting garbage uselessly.

Once I sat down, and pulled up google find my device, IT SAID IT WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE.

It was dropped in a pile of boots by the front door. *sigh*

You lose one thing, you find it, then you lose ANOTHER thing in the process. I hate that. Thank God for Find My.

Reading a book of a series I like(d).
It's slop fantasy, but I enjoyed it so far. This book though... It has:
Asexuality
Homosexuality
Non binary bullshit
Inter species sexuality
A young girl who for no reason binds her developing breasts because
Everyone has the muh mental
It is so unnecessary and immersion breaking, I want to physically assault the author (in Minecraft).

Anybody who guesses the book will get a winner sticker. While I get the loser sticker because I am going to finish the book and then throw it into the trash.
