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

Angled parking spots. Who designed them and why?

I'm sure it's been said to death, but all this "partner" shit. No, this woman isn't my "partner" she is my WIFE. Just the same as I am not her "partner" but I am her HUSBAND. Before that she was my GIRLFRIEND and I her BOYFRIEND. These are not shameful terms that need to be hidden or obfuscated by using "partner". There is nothing embarrassing about being a husband or wife, or a boyfriend or girlfriend.
 
Every week my local grocery store has a different selection of discounted items. Nothing special about that. But every fucking week they barely stock those items and if you don't arrive at some random ass time to buy them they are gone and won't be restocked for the entire week. And instead of restocking them the employees just stand around and make sure that people don't steal at the self-checkout counter. Money doesn't grow on trees, buying food has become unbelievable expansive. Would be nice if I wouldn't have to spend my entire paycheck just for the bare necessities.

Much easier to pull in and out of, keeps traffic one-way so fewer mishaps and chaos.

Thread tax: when the guy over the partition decides today is a standing day already so he's like looming over me and I have no privacy.
 
Crosswalks are so easy to understand. The Red Had means don't walk. The green Man means you can walk. Yet apparently every single faggot in my city thinks it's the opposite. Without fail every goddamn time I'm coming to a crosswalk some cunt steps out in font me or they wait until my light turns green before they decide to cross the road.
Pedestrians having right of way was a mistake.

Also, once again, fuck cyclists. Miles and miles of bike trails in every fucking city in basically every country in the world. Hiking trails you can mountain biking on. Failing that there's dedicated bike lanes on the road for you and your gay little spandex crew. Why do they insist on riding in the road with the rest of traffic? Why do they insist on using the most treacherous roadways for their exercise? Does the idea of rounding this sketchy corner and eating an F150 excite them? Do they get a thrill out of the possibility of someone cresting that hill, not seeing them in time, and blowing into their back?

Get a fucking stationary.

As a cyclist myself I get this. I will go out of my way to use cycle lanes because I hate riding on the road and I dont want to hold drivers up. I find cyclists riding on the road when there is a perfectly good cycle lane as enraging as you do, and sometimes call them out for it. The bike lanes have been put there to be used and I use them

Howdy, Partner! Let me guess; uber feminist?

Thread tax: Busting ass to get a college degree, to get a nice job, and finally buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood, only to have some jackass buy the adjacent house and decide to let their house and yard degenerate into total white trash trailer park shit; grass not mown, weeds out of control, trees lopped down but the trunk/large branches left behind, random junk strewn about everywhere... Thanks, asshole; you’re the reason HOAs become a thing. But you can’t possibly be a redneck; you have a post-grad degree and vote Democrat!
 
Neighbor is mid 40's DV, on cool relations with him. Weather is shitty, said come by for a beer in the garage. He said his daughter is about to fail her Junior year of HS, and he needed to deal with it. Daughter got knocked up at 16, she's now 17, baby is one. 19 year old military butch/pooner moved in, now they're engaged. He let the thing move in with them, now his daughter is flunking out, trying to finish HS. Prime example of why the parents are usually at fault, when kids go wrong.
 
People correcting your grammar in video game chat and online chatrooms.

There is nothing more pathetic and insecure than people feeling the need to assert their intellectual superiority over a temporary message that will never be read again by anyone ever after about 10 seconds.

I also despise people that use abbreviations and slang all the time as their "writing quirk," to the point their posts are incomprehensible jumbles of letters and numbers, and it's actually more effort to parse them than if they just wrote in proper English. But that's a separate thing. There is literally nothing wrong with an occasional abbreviation or choosing the wrong one of 4 similar words just because you want to get your message out as quickly as possible.

When people do this, I usually respond by telling them they didn't use proper punctuation, capitalization and complete sentences, and that seems to short circuit their brain.

If you correct any grammar mistakes I probably made in this post I will actually find and eat you irl

On the flipside, I believe that if you want to be understood - some level of comprehensible grammar and spelling is required. I'm not here to decode whatever the fuck you're going on about with abbreviating and breaking down words into nigger-talk. Because I'll assume you're just a nigger due to be sent back to the plantation for failing your race and the planet from being a contributing member of society.

There are even people who're so wrapped up in their own self-made language, that they even find themselves double-checking what they've said. Fucking christ, dude, here's an idea - TALK NORMALLY! You're not special for making up a new language (like we fucking need anymore of them) only known to you and you babbling it and getting offended when people can't decipher it.

Someone should just chop your hands off and be forced to type with nothing but just the stubs of your forearms. Then we can just go from there and outright kill you because the entertainment value has run dry at that point.

Bigger thing always wins, and last I checked even a damn Smart is bigger than unarmored civilian.

Because you live in the wrong place. Or, are too broke for winter and summer homes. (So am I; it's a big club and we're both in it.)

Thread Tax -

If you're a homeowner, start checking out the rental market around you. Property managers are starting to encourage future tenants to use Jetty (or similar) for security deposits, which are typically the equivalent of one month of rent.

Can you see any issues here?

1. Why not lower the security deposit requirement? IDGAF if it's an "industry standard."
2. If renters cannot come up with two months worth of rent from the start, how long until they come up with zero months of rent?
3. Why type of person (and their friend group) would this attract.

I'm sure there's more points to add to that list, but shit like this is why property managers are only slightly above car salesmen on the scumbag scale.

Tons of absolute nightmare renters whom you will NEVER squeeze for a penny of damages post-year rental period, so sec deposit is your guarantee to cover 1/4-1/3 of repairs needed after those pigs move the hell out or get booted for violating the rental agreement. Whom does renting attract? Anyone without 4-800k to buy?

Now, if you're a conglo dog who just manages hundreds of houses bought to be purely used to rent - go fuck yourself and your mid-bosses in the urethra.
 
I have not checked a thread in quite some time, and there are now hundreds of media heavy pages I have yet to go through. This will take quite some time, especially considering the farms' less than stellar video buffering ability and it makes me put it off even more.

That's why I try to have the aisle seat.

Thread tax:


When cops order them to get on the ground, they do everything BUT. When cops threaten to shoot/taze offending suspects several times instead of following through, most damning of all, when "community outrage" causes all charges to be DROPPED despite obvious signs of misconduct and noncompliance.
