What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Dre_o]

To begin.

Idiots

Just in general, nothing too specific.

Then:

People bitching about how bad their lives are. I CAN GUARANTEE IT COULD BE WORSE!!! HOW???? WELL I"LL NAME A FEW:

You could be paralyzed from the shoulders down
You could NOT HAVE SHOULDERS
You could work as a RETARDED CLOWN
You could be homeless,
You could be parentless
You could have to work with 2nd degree burns on your hands (like myself)
You could have random fits of choking
You could be SUPER UGLY AND UNATTRACTIVE
You could be living in a 3rd world country where the only thing you have to eat/drink on a continual basis is contaminated water, which if you drink, you will die. And you could have to kill siblings over bits of food that the Red Cross would bring you.

Yes, I may say "This isn't fun" or "This sucks" but I NEVER, NEVER NEVER say "My life sucks"

Also, I absolutely despise when people are so inarticulate with their speech that the best thing they can come up with is "F$#% that SH$%."

It makes me want to kill them, no matter the consequences.

Hmmm, quite a few.

People that don't admit to being wrong or to you being right.

People who dress "emo" and complain about their lives sucking and everything never working out for them. Like Dre_O said, there are countless things that could make your life worse.

People (mostly kids) who say "I don't like that food" and have never tried it.

Kids that cry and whine until they get what they want.

My 4/20 vision.

The U.S. electoral system.

Kids who stand in the middle of the hallway and don't move.

When someone who wants to fight you brings a weapon.

Paintballers who think their good because of their gun.

Schools with low budgets.

Bad drivers.

Skate boarders who can't do tricks but do it because it's cool.

When someone owns an instrument but doesn't know how to play it.

MMORPG braggers. "I am SOOOOO g00d B3cUz of MY LeVeLz and MMO iz aLL sk!llz!"

Newbies that ask TOO many questions. I mean really obvious things. Halo for example: "LiK3, h0// doo U DeLW w!eLD T3h GunZS?" Theres an in-game prompt that tells you.

Newbies that decided they didn't need to use the tutorial.

Newbies that button mash.

Newbies that use the same attack.

Awpers.

Campers.

Quitters.

Children.

Bees.

That's enough for now. . .

Words

More words

I guess I need to break my habit of excessive use of expletive vocabulary... maybe my post was too dramatic. Everything I listed were more of slight irritations to me rather than "I'm going to fucking kill someone"-type issues.

And I wasn't demanding excessive politeness, but "I'd like" sounds much better than "I want I want I want."

Here's another one.

- When taking change, people just plop it onto the counter. That's not it, though. They plop their filthy money onto OTHER PEOPLE'S TRAYS.

[Sinue_v2]

I tell you what I hated when I worked service - taking money that people kept in their back pockets, rather than in their wallet. And the people to do it were always increadibly fat - and sweaty - and the money would be just crumpled in a small, wet, smelly, lump. They might as well have been keeping it in their ass crack.

That's just gross.

I hate it when I'm taking a shower in the morning and I put conditioner in my hair, and I immeadiately walk under the water cause I forgot was i was doing because of a lack of sleep. Then I am forced to condition again...

[MadEwokHerd]

People that act black but in fact are whiter than my ass.
People that say Metallica is a better band then Megadeth
People that say, "Stop comparing Megadeth and Metallica! They're BOTH great bands!!!!!1!11!1!" No they aren't. Megadeth is an amazing band. Metallica sucks.

- People who automatically label someone as "poser" for wearing Hot Topic-bought clothing one day and Abercrombie the next. If they like the clothes, they're not really posing as anything, now, are they?

How can you represent yourself if the clothes that you wear represent the opposite of each other? Its almost like believing in religion and evolution at the same time. It just doesn't make sense.

Personally, I try really hard not to make a sociopolitical statement with my clothing. If I wear a T-shirt with penguins on it, it's because I like penguins, not because I'm making a statement about global warming shrinking penguin habitat, and not because I am attempting to meld with the social group that patronizes whatever store/brand that produced the shirt. I wear white shirts to work instead of having a broad wardrobe of different-colored yet business-acceptable shirts because (a) I like white, and (b) I'm lazy and don't want to have to think what color shirt I'm wearing, or whether I have clean socks to match.

Come to think of it, there's a rant in there somewhere--"People Who Interpret my Intentions Based Upon Their Subjective Reading of my Actions/Appearance In Light of Their (not my) Social Background."
