What Grinds My Gears Thread

[TravelingJ]

Facebook: People just don't understand how 'out there' every single post is. I've caught my renter red handed on several lies, that her mom has even assisted in. Then there are those that get laid off, and brag about getting the summer off with unemployment checks rolling it.

People that can't drive: I drive, a lot. I often tow a large RV with me, and people don't seem to understand that pulling in front of a giant truck, and going slower than him, isn't a smart idea. I watch them do it to Semi trucks as well. Accidents waiting to happen people. Also, left lane bandits.

People that refuse to do their job: Seriously, I do mine. It's not that much to expect you to do yours. If you install DirecTV for a living, fucking do your job and install it. If you work in a restaurant, I'm just asking for proper service.

Leaving my remote at home: I leave for a full month, and forget to bring the Seagate Home Theater remote ) = Not a single button on the unit, so I can't do anything on it without the remote. Now I have to watch TV shows on the computer with the shit speakers, instead of my surround sound. I can't even buy a universal remote, because nothing has the codes for this thing, and I'd have to learn it (can't do that without the remote!) bleh.

I'll tell you what really grinds my gears...

When my wife piles things into the sink like it's some sort of storage device. Then I have to take all the crap out of the sink just to wash my hands :argh:. One of these days I'm going to just turn on the water anyway and flood her crap and then maybe she'll get the idea.

When someone pulls their car in front of you, cutting you off....and there are NO cars behind you and racing to a merge to move ahead of one whole car

Yeah, that's annoying as hell. Sometimes I'm tempted to just plow into those SOBs...then my common sense takes over. Damn common sense.

I hate the whole idea of "common" sense. From my experience, it's anything BUT common!

Oh man this dishes/sink think tests my last nerve too. The wife has a great habit of unpacking her lunch container and just dumping her tupperware stuff in the sink....which wouldn't be a big deal --- IF THERE WASN'T STILL FOOD IN IT.

Seriously it's a crapshoot when I open up whatever containers are in there, half eaten sandwiches, yogurt, whichever sauce or salad dressing she took that day, you name it -- still in the container, with the lid on...juuuuuust dropped in the sink.

For frig sake at least take the lid off, dump the contents in the garbage can (which is right below the sink....) then put the goddamn thing in there would ya!?!?

I work at a large country club pool/ cabana bar. there are two pools. 1 for the kids with a diving board, lap lane, walk in area, kiddie pool, and slide( get the picture, its big) and another pool that has no frills just an area for the adults to chill. We work in 90 degree heat, with high humidity, and little to no breeze. the heat radiates back off the concrete and makes it even worse. I run my ass off trying to serve rude preteens their chicken fingers. Then walks in " that member" who expects me to read her mind and know she wants a menu, water, and an unsweet tea with 3 lemon wedges and with 2 splenda packets already put in there for her so she doesnt have to do it herself. then orders something that isnt even on the menu, and i have to go talk to the kitchen to make sure they have it just right. then when i bring out the food she doesnt say " thankyou"... she says " you know im extremely hot tired from this heat, and it took YOU entirely too long to get this food, you need to work faster and do a better job".....Those people grind my gears!
oh and if your wondering, I laughed in her face and got the manager to go talk to her... she hasnt been back sense

Speaking of domestic annoyances....how about when someone uses up the toilet paper roll and just sets the new one on top of the holder rather than replacing the empty roller with the new roll. What is so difficult? Too mechanical, or what?

 

[fuente~fuente]

Has this ever happened to anyone???...

You go to use a urinal... It's full of stagnated piss from apparently the last 6 months, or at least it smells that way because the %*@$# thing is broken so you really don't know.:disappoin You start to do your business... Sometime during this process some proceeds to comes out & lands on your leg... Your wearing shorts...

You then think to yourself... "Awww $*@#... I hope that was mostly mine.":sadstare:

It's a helpless feeling...

 

[Greyghost]

F@CK ME!!!!!!!

People who call a law firm looking of help and then proceed to tell you that they have all the answers. Telling me 3 attorneys have told her she is not a good candidate for bankruptcy. Well this lady is 200k upside down on her property, that she is now renting out. She is losing $750 per month on the rents, because she had to let someone rent it for less than she owes. The property has been on the market for 6 years, but she’s still hopeful she can sell it. Her ex created a bunch of debts that have turned to judgments against her, but she says she won’t have to pay them, he will. Well lady if the home does sell the Judgments get paid off with the proceeds of the sale. She tells me she used to have credit cards but stopped paying them 4 years ago and now after 4 years the Statute is up and she no longer owes them. WHAT!?!?!?! LADY you still owe those debts and they can come after your paychecks and your bank accounts. She says she was told by an attorney that she does not oe her debts after 4 years. OK lady what the F are you calling me for? What the F@ck is this lady holding to? No wonder she’s divorced, she lucky her husband didn’t kill her and bury her in the back yard. I feel if I had had this conversation face to face I might have been digging a hole for her body instead of typing this now.

damn it I need a drink.

Yes, get that drink before you kill anyone else.

Tell us how you really feel. You obviously held back a bit.

I'll add people on the driving range trying to offer you swing suggestions when they can't even get the ball off the ground. Just shut up and watch!

Mmm...yes dishes. I was referring more to my wife putting her makeup bag and what not in the bathroom sink :argh:. But while on the subject...my wife acts like she's the only one that does the dishes which annoys me because I do them just as much as she does. Just seems like there's dishes all the time cause we go through so many (what with the baby and all). I like to reuse my cup, makes me feel like I'm saving on dishes. So I rinse it and sit it next to the sink where I can find it later. Except when I go back to get it, it's been placed in the sink with the dirty dishes and I get a lecture about putting the dishes in the sink :argh: :tongueout.
