You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

Cogs 

Cool thread.

Miniscule, but grinds my gears to a degree:

When I thank someone in a service-type role and their response is "No worries".  

I am not worrying at all!  Just being polite.

Daylight savings time

When someone is in a public space and listening to a video/song on their phone loud through their speaker rather than through headphones.

When people try to sound "sophisticated" and pronounce the t in Often.  It's an ERROR that has been legitimized by OVERMISUSE!!!

They don't for some reason pronounce it in any of THESE words though.

fasten

hasten

glisten

listen

moisten

apostle

thistle

whistle

wrestle

mortgage

Christmas

That really grinds my gears!

eh not really, it's just annoying.

People who are on free gluten diets. Why should we have to pay for you're food? Ridiculous 

Seadog's constant and incessant projecting of his/her own issues onto those around him/her.

oh, and his/her "OVERMISUSE" of all cap.lol

Seadog, 

That's funny.  I have a coworker who says "exacTly"

>>>OVERMISUSE!!!

for real. Can't stand it when people overmisuse things. 

People who stand "in line" to the side of you (instead of behind).

What about the employee who says "no problem"?

Undermisuse grinds my gears.

Such a fine balance. proper misuse.

 Inconsiderate ...Cigarette smokers !!  They really are the most disgusting, vile beings ever :(  I'm talking bout the ones that blow smoke in your face as they stand at the entrance to a store or restaurant and you HAVE to walk past them to get in. The ones that throw their butts down anywhere and everywhere or out the window in front of you !  The worst are the ones I see smoking with kids in the car and the windows rolled up...arrrrgh ! ! 

To be lazy and impose your unhealthy habit on vulnerable others is ignorant and obtuse !!  Maybe come spend a day in my life and watch my mom slowly suffocate and leave a trail of oxygen tubing everywhere she goes, everyday of her life !  My parents ( and everyone else) smoked around me everyday, it was gross !!  Even now as I am caring for her  and she barks out orders for me to "get my oxygen" ..."carry it because it's too heavy" !!!  I come back with a quiet but snarky " Hope you enjoyed all those cigarettes you chain smoked in front of me, and made me clean the ashtrays" :(

I may sound harsh, but I have good reason to feel as I do, I now have bronchial airway disease due to second hand smoke...


So Please if you smoke, think about where you are lighting up before you IMPOSE your nasty ass habit on others !!





If I offended you, too bad !!

^^^^scarlet...i do same thing..kinda...as i walk by people and say " hello, how are u today"...and get no response, usually you can expect at least a hello as they pass by...but, if nothing..i always say...(or maybd its a slight yell)..."thats good!!"

;)

so sick of the gluten free shit

everybody ate white bread when I was a kid-  nobody died.

The gluten is more radioactive now.

When you are next in a long line and they open up another lane and announce "Next in line!" and the guy behind you jumps over to that checkout. I call them out every time. 

"Excuse me, were YOU next in line? No? Well then let me make AN ASS out of you in front of everyone here.

HAVE A NICE DAY DICK!

>>>>>litterbugs....steer clear, more than likely too lazy to wipe their own ass, too

I dunno. No love for litterbugs here, but most of the LBs I've come into contact with seem like the kind of folks who like to keep themselves clean while making everything else dirty. They'll wipe their own ass and leave the used paper beside the trail.

YES.  I started typing that, too, but ultimately left it out of my update.

"No problem. No worries"

Some of you need to grow some bigger gears....

Bigger Gears- Bigger Problems

Of course your convenience is more important than someone having to go to the ER or dying.

Overmisuse of the word "stunning".

No, Mr. Realtor, the remodel of this shitty 800sf condo is not stunning, it's lipstick on a pig.

my convenience? 

This doesn't necessarily grind my gears, but if I was to be perfectly blunt, there are lots of people on Facebook who do an incredible amount of complaining about how they feel each day. I have a friend from elementary school where she posts several times a day things like, I'm sick, got a fever, this dreaded cough, nobody cares about me, my spouse can't get a job, the neighbor stole my dog, etc. Bitching and moaning basically. Some people focus way too hard on the negative instead of reflecting and making the steps to make their life happier. 

Well, I assume if something "grinds your gears" it would be something that inconveniences you. Otherwise, why the gear-grinding?

Right, so I'm complaining about people who complain too much. lol

People who can't drive a stick shift.

not much

Turning on the shower on, and the water is not left on "faucet", and cold water comes pouring all over your head from the shower head.

Or, when I'm trying to take a shower and someone is screwing around with the water, some where else in the house. Hot! Then Cold etc!!

Really harshes my mellow.

Folks that whine over little stuff.

People that think google makes them smart 

When I see someone with an iced coffee from a popular coffee/doughnut shop (i.e. Dunkin Donuts) with the plastic cup their drink is contained in with an extra styrofoam cup for condensation.  Get over yourself.

Some things that used to bug me until I figured out solutions --

The incredibly sturdy plastic packaging on stuff like a flashlight or wrench-set or multimeter.
Solution:  Razor-knife / Utility knife. 

A)  Unmatched socks.  Where do they go ???
Solution:  Purchase a dozen pairs of the same color. These days, pink argyles match everything.

Big fat nothing burgers.

lifes too short to be irritated by others. we love to project our values and circumstances onto others and complain when they dont do things the same as we do or would
