What Grinds Your Gears?

[DShiz1029]

Here are some things that irk me.

*Little teens who think they are communist
*People who dont realize that they are on Cash Cab
*People who piss other people off on purpose
*Kids who talk sh*t on Xbox Live and have dirty mouths
*Murderers
*Thieves
*Anyone in general who resorts to crime
*High school cliques
*College cliques (COME ON PEOPLE!)
*When my dog cries at the table for food because my mom gives in to him and feeds him table food (I've yelled at her but she doesnt get it)
*Emo kids who think they are artists, when their "art" is simply Microsoft Paint scribbles
*People who chew food like freakin cows...I am cursed with really good hearing, so when I am stuck in a quiet room with someone chewing their food with their mouth open, I just wanna snap!

[LZ_Reborn]

Ignorant, inconsiderate people!! that pretty much sums it up for me.

[FallenAce]

Zombies. I hate zombies. I'm terrified of them actually. My D&D friends used to tell me I'd have a +20 on zombies.

Youre just Mr. comedy today aren't ya!!:p

[FallenAce]

...that one's true though...

[battle_axe_of_doom]

family guy, ****ing hate this show

[Wangsandsuch]

John Petrucci, Rosie O Donnell, Sandra Oh, Courtney Love.

[Jixzer]

family guy, ****ing hate this show

WHAT!? Are you kidding. That's one of the best shows on TV. Oh well, opinions vary.

I guess I hate people who hate Family Guy. :)

[visualdeity]

family guy, ****ing hate this show

WOOT!

Battle axe, we finally agree on something! /smoke_peace_pipe

(Nothing against Family Guy fans, you guys are cool, I just really can't stand the show.)

[ClinTrojan]

2 words.......Brittany Spears

[DShiz1029]

Yeah Im not much of a Family Guy fan myself.

*Elderly drivers who drive ungodly slow
*People who cant learn to chill out at a bar instead of getting into a fight
*Dreamcrushers
*My Canon Rebel XTi, its too ameture for me nowdays
*Getting drunken phone calls at 3 am
*Women who wear those ungodly huge sunglasses, and the pants with "PINK" written across the ass
*Women who are constant *****es about everything
*Those jeans that are uber tight all the way down the leg, those just look dumb

[Syd]

I second the huge sunglasses and pants with "PINK" and "CUTE" written across the rear. Those fashion disasters also made me think of those hideous CROC shoes. How did those things get so popular?

[Manda]

Aside from the obvious pet peeve of rude, ignorant people who find entertainment in other people's misery...

People who move slow in front of you. Especially when you're blocked off and can't get around them, I have to fight the urge to shove them (because that would be rude =D ).

Oh, and girls who follows trends like they're the ones who came up with them, no matter how heinous they look.

[TorrentRage]

Something that grinds my gears is when I can't find the droids I'm looking for!

[Syd]

Something that grinds my gears is when I can't find the droids I'm looking for!

LOL! I hate it when that happens.

[Quinarvy]

Bad Family Guy references.

[Smoky_McAshtray]

The fact that I can never find that damned chuck wagon after it runs into the cabinet! (That'll date me pretty good...who knows what I'm talkin' about?)

[Syd]

Wasn't that a Gravy Train dog food commercial?

[Tendoza]

*Happy-go-lucky-I-think-Ill-jump-up-and-down-and-clap-because-I-brushed-my-teeth-girls.

*People who eat loud.

*People who hate cops for no reason.

*That "kthxbai" thing from all sorts of forums.

*CAPS lockers.

*Girls who take far too many digital photos and think they're good at it.

*People who retell a whole episode of south park in order to try and be funny.

*People who try to help you play solitaire.

*People who do something wierd on their inhale while laughing (snort, gasping sound).

*People who write songs with no meaning. (Soulja boy...)

*Any kind of fanboy.

*Customers who give you a bill, and reach into their pocket or wallet for change, and just take a look at it blankly; then they give you a dirty look when you wait for them to give you some change. But they don't even grab any!!! What is the point in misleading clerks into thinking you have change...god.

Thank goodness I wasnt the only person... when I used to work retail back in the day, that crap pissed me off all the time, they look at you like "what? I gave you a bill"... and of course the one time you say screw it and count out the change, then they were actually digging out the change to give you without saying anything. If i'm getting out change for a cashier, i'm telling them that before giving them the bill... its not that hard to say "hold on I think i have the change".

Okay, that about sums up my list as well, I commend you for typing what I was thinking but would not surface. I also bolded the big ones, removed a couple that didn't really bother me, and changed South Park to any show.

How about:

People who quit quickplay before playing a song, in the middle of the first song, or right after the first song, for stupid reasons (don't like the song, playing on a higher/lower difficulty)

People who overglorify things (even if you like it too, it's so annoying)

How cereal goes soggy in milk. Or for that matter...

Cereal that cuts the roof of your mouth (Damn you Cap'n Crunch!)

And while we're on the subject of food: When food sticks to the roof of your mouth (white bread, peanut butter)

People who talk to others, and treat everyone else like are complete morons, and act all high and mighty because they think their word is law.

And people who love or hate something because they think they're supposed to and not because of personal preference.

I always find a way to put these people back in their places. Its rather satisfying. I dont appreciate it either when people think they are above everyone else, so I take it into my own hands to yank them back down with the rest of the crowd. :D

*Emo kids who plague and infest the malls on Friday nights
*The non emo-kids who go to the mall to act like complete douchebags away from their parents
*Gas prices
*Finding out theres no toilet paper after you're done dropping the kids off
*Being allergic to cats, cuz I love cats, and I wanna pet them, but I will implode if I do.
*People who talk with those damn Blue-Tooth headsets. Seriously, if I dont see that thing, I think they are crazy people.
*Beauty queens who hang out at the salon and spa all day.
*People who do drugs (this doesnt include marijuana)
*Coca-Cola products that claim to taste like the original, but really taste like sh*t
*Nigerian scammers on Ebay
*People who flaunt their sexuality around. Sexuality is a personal thing, it should be no one else's business.

[topperharley]

family guy, ****ing hate this show

Me too. Especially the baby. But pretty much every character. And I hate that Subway commercial that the dad is on. Yeah, use a fat cartoon character to promote how healthy your food is... good idea.

Seinfeld. Especially George and his parents. GEORGE'S DAD IS YELLING AT HIS WIFE. NOW GEORGE IS YELLING AT HIS DAD. THAT'S SOOO FUNNY!

The fact that E.R. is still on the air when it stopped being good ten years ago.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Teri Hatcher, and Eva Longorrea.

People who think Sarah Jessica Parker, Teri Hatcher, and Eva Longorrea are attractive.

Stupid people.

Girls who are stuck up b****es when they have no reason to be that way.

Girls that date guys that are complete scuzzbags. "He left his empty tray and food wrappers on the table at McDonald's. He's such a bad boy! How hot!"

People who (a) tailgate, (b) cut across three lanes because they're too stupid to watch for their exit, (c) change lanes without signaling, (d) roll through stop signs, (e) go through the intersection after the light turns red, making me wait when my light is green, (f) pull out in front of me making me have to stand on the brakes, (g) wait until the last possible moment to merge out a lane that ends and then cut me off, (h) use the right turn lane to pass people at intersections.

People who block an entire aisle with their cart.

Jewelry commercials.

People who don't wash their hands after they use the restroom, especially when they have to use the crapper.

Anyone under 16 with a cell phone. Especially grade school and junior high kids. There is NOTHING in your life that is so important that it can't wait until you get home or to school to tell your friends about it.

[FallenAce]

I still hate zombies, if anyone is curious.

And what do you mean when you say "flaunt their sexuality"? I'm kind of lost on that one.

[DShiz1029]

^QFT, I didnt have my first cellphone till I was 16. It only asks for high phone bills for the parents when they give their motormouth pre-teens a cellphone. Specially little girls who wanna chat about boys and make up.




*Veagans who secretly eat fish.
*The fact that English Muffins are DAMN yummy with honey and butter
*How Silent Hill was rated one of the worst SH games. It was actually the best one to me.
*Diahrrea that seems to never end
*People who let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood.
*Neo-Nazis
*Hippies
*The fact that I cannot make a good batch of green tea ice cream.
*Oakley apparel being so expensive. I love Oakley to hell and back, but their stuff is really high in price. I just got a pair of Rx eyeglasses from Oakley last night over the internet, almost nearly 300 bucks, and thats half of what they cost in stores.

Yes yes you can call me an Oakley whore, cuz I am, I admit it. I have a sh*t load of Oakley stuff.

[TorrentRage]

Bad Family Guy references.

*Flames

No hard feelings though.

Dude......You read my mind. I agree with everything.
ESPECIALLY DOGS THAT WHINE WHERE YOU'RE EATING AT THE TABLE!!! Nothing helps out more that a swift roundhouse kick to it's face. Didn't their owners teach it any manners?!

[Frederf]

Pilots that die in movies.

^^ wut grinds my gears ;)

[topperharley]

Coworkers who, first thing they do when they get to the office in the morning, is use the bathroom. As in number two, to put it delicately. Thereby stinking up the bathroom and the surrounding area for at least an hour.

Can't people like that do that at home before they leave for work? Wouldn't they rather do that at home?

Did I mention I work in a small office?

[Kaoticc]

2 words.......Brittany Spears

She's my singer on Rock Band :D

[Nitz13]

Whoever said the one about Girls wearing Huge Sunglasses and the sweatpants with a word across the butt is Bang on. Also,

Those Stupid Car Commercials that have absolutely nothing to do with the cars. (You don't even know its a car commercial till then end of it)

Basketball, Can't stand that horrible sport.

Rap Music

American Idol, So you think you can Dance and anything remotely close to these types of shows. I have no idea how they get so popular..

Customers who assume you have an endless supply of what they are looking for in the back and don;t understand the meaning of "were all sold out"

Customers who presume Every Employee in the store should know where every product you sell is ( I work for Superstore so thats a lot of stuff to remember...)

Customers who walk past 2 aisles and then have to ask where the "Pop aisle" is because they are a bunch of Dumb***es who can't look up at the signs or walk to the other end of the store before asking. ( Pop gets a whole Aisle so it's almost impossible to miss it)

and a few others but I'll stop there.

[SilentCapybara]

1. That stupid FOX Football robot/creature thing. (What purpose does it serve besides wasting my TV screen's space?!)
2. Myspace-Facebook-Xanga fads
3. Guys that wear girl pants or pants that are way too tight
4. Posers (any kind; Emo/Goth/Hip-Hop/Etc.)
5. Girls that wear overdoses of hairspray
6. Songs that are completely irrelevant to anything (Majority of Rap)
7. Songs that everyone knows and sings, but you hate
8. Songs that are overplayed on the radio (Does anyone even still use the radio?)
9. Obnoxiously loud talkers on their cell-phones
10. People who text each other within the same room
11. People who merge/turn without signaling
12. Overall dumb drivers
13. People in a store who take up the aisle with all of their junk (or just standing in the middle of the aisle)

17. Mystery Meat

"Yeah! What's with that!"
/win for you!

[IslandBoy91]

*People who chew food like freakin cows...I am cursed with really good hearing, so when I am stuck in a quiet room with someone chewing their food with their mouth open, I just wanna snap!

Me too! It bugs the crap outta me!
I too was cursed with sharp hearing and it really bothers me when I can hear my sister breathing OVER the tv...I just wanna suffocate her sometimes...

People who groan unnesscarilily irritate me too

[dylan14]

you know what really grinds my gears?
people that don't like family guy.:D oh and why do people hate emo's? Im emo jk lol.

[Shredder87]

I would like to also add

1) People that aren't family that walk into your house without knocking. MOTHER F***ER!!!! KNOCK!!!!!!!
2) People that take massive leaks, and don't flush. NOT EVERYBODY FOLLOWS "IT'S IT'S YELLOW LEAVE IT MELLOW!!!!!"
3) Kids that bother you, even thought it's damn obvious what you're doing or playing. "Hey, I bet you're playing Halo huh?" NO SH**!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS PLAYING GEARS!!!!
4)I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. HOW CAN'T IT NOT BE BUTTER?!!!!!

[mercuryshadow09]

Stupidity! \m/

[FallenAce]

4)I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. HOW CAN'T IT NOT BE BUTTER?!!!!!

I hate double-negatives. Also, people who take other peoples posts out of context.

...oh wait.

[Jixzer]

What grinds my gears? Just about everything listed ahead of me (except Family Guy, I love that show...but to each their own).

Additionally, people who play Band Quickplay online without their ear piece and have ABSOLUTELY NO DLC. COME ON PEOPLE!

/rantover

[Atsumi]

I agree with MissHiss on a lot of points.

My number one is animal cruelty though. They can't even call the police later.

[MissTeya]

- Poor grammar and incorrect punctuation that is not intentional (Lol cats, for instance, make me laugh, while some local residents make me want to punch them.)

- Irregardless. <--- NOT A WORD! I can't stand it when people say it. Even if it was a word, which it is not, it wouldn't be used in the sense that people use it. The double negative of the prefix ir- and the suffix -less give it the meaning "with regard."

Sorry. I'm an English teacher. This kind of stuff really irks me.

[iamtheddrman]

She's my singer on Rock Band :D
Please tell me she's bald LOL :D

What grinds my gears:

* People who can't spell or punctuate on forums (does it really take that much longer to hit the . and Shift?)
* People who feel the need to classify themselves (emo/goth/prep/etc). Just be yourself, people will like you more
* Words/phrases that should never have come into existence (such as irregardless, "That's Hot", "I haven't seen you in a minute", etc)

[lithiumkc]

Yknow what really grinds my gears...

When I tell one of my buddies to go easy on the bass pedal, and then 3 days later it breaks when someone else is playing on easy. GRRRR

When you do laundry and when you take it out of the dryer, it's all still damp, but your roommates are waiting to do some too so you get to walk around in -5 weather WITH DAMP CLOTHES.

Poodles

Todays music [most]

Addiction

Come to think of it, almost everything grinds my gears.

[topperharley]

People that have the bass up way too loud in their car so you can hear them a mile away. My next door neighbor's kid does that and every time he pulls in the driveway I'm this close to going over there and ripping his ****ing subwoofer out of his car.

People who wait, and wait, and wait, and then pull out in front of you so you have to stand on the brakes to avoid hitting their dumb asses, when they had a mile of open road in front of you to pull out safely.

People that tailgate. I used to hit the brakes, but if it's some idiot jabbering on his cell phone and not paying attention, I don't want to have to deal with an accident, and the insurance. So I just coast... :) Or, if it's a two-lane road, I go with the "Minnesota Flying Wedge" where I match speeds with the car in the lane right next to me.

People that pass in rush hour traffic. Where do they think they're going to go? And why are they in such a hurry to get to work?

[SmokaCola]

The voices in my head =\ Sometimes they make horrible decisions, they need to stfu.

[k87]

I can't stand the guys on sportscenter that argue about which team is better. Like that around the horn show

[wesjett08]

I have one thing that grinds my gears...Songs that fade out,HOW CAN A SONG NOT END!!!....

[Jazzmin]

I'm enjoying most of these. Here's my list.

*People who watch the Super Bowl, yet never watch football at any other point during the season.
*Ugly/loud dogs.
*Girls with big ugly sunglasses which probably are used to mask their ugliness. :eek:
*The fact that people find Lucy Liu attractive. :confused:
*People who aren't open to try new things.
*High School Music.. I don't see what the big deal is about. GO WATCH GREASE. :cool:
*Annoying ring tones.
*The World of Warcraft.
*Isiah Thomas.
*People who have bad/predictable taste in music, movies.
*idk my bff rose.
*Bluetooth headsets.
*The fact that their aren't more Thai/Korean eateries where I live.
*The fact that theres always a weight loss commercial promptly after a Burger King ad every time I watch the Fresh Prince.
*The fact that Nascar gets more media attention than the NHL (F U Betman)
*Cartoons these days.
*Mainstream music.
*Soulja Boy (his new song.. WTF)
*Ugly girls who think they are hot.

and most importantly a poll on this site which had the Electric Version under worst songs in the game.
when in reality that song pwns harder than your face.

[R33DH4M]

People who brake excessivly while driving and people who don't use turn signals when it is necessary to avoid an accident. Music of the present time.

[Jixzer]

Playing on XBL with no mic! Sorry, I just can't get past that one. Yes, I'm repeating myself...but it really grinds my gears.... :)

Oh, and people with NO DLC! AAAHHHRRRRRGG!

/countingto10

[FallenAce]

People who post for a few months until the game comes out, then show up a few times, start some nice threads and then DISAPPEAR!

DAMN YOU, DOUG SHAW!




...and, just in case he ever comes back, Canadians.
