pet peeves "You know what really grinds my gears"

This is a thread all about b***ing about things that annoy you, get under your skin, grinds your gears, or just plain pisses you off! All in good fun of course.

so...

You know what really grinds my gears... pretty food. I mean come on! Why should I give a crap what the food looks like? Within reason ofcourse, I dont want my food to look like a road kill skunk, but all the fancy pantsy foo foo bull**** that some resturants (big ego chefs) do to your food just seems pointless. The way I look at it is, if they spent the time and effort elsewhere, the food might taste better, and it might also get to my table quicker. Amirght?

anywho, your next. So... vent here!

the phrases "pet peeves", "grinds my gears" and people that do 10 below the speed limit in the right lane on the freeway... and 30 below the limit in the left lane drive below the speed limit

Politics and religion.  But we can't talk about that.

you know what else grinds my gears is when you cant find the right Droids your looking for lol but serriously another one is people who do 30+ in parkingloots

People who drive solely in the middle-lane of the motorway, even when the left lane is empty.

Being the thru-street neighborhood inbetween the two of the busiest streets in the city, which obviously means after 10pm you're allowed to smash the accelerator on your motor-bike to race down our street like you were drag-racing, awright.

The excessively negative, or the excessively sarcastic. But most of all the excessively negative and sarcastic who believe they are being witty. They are everywhere.

Annoying People.... Nuff Said.

People who don't EVER use their blinkers to indicate lane changing or turning... noobs. Oh, and slow old people.

14-15 year olds who think they're gangsta's.

People who don't put their trolleys in the designated bays at shopping centres and instead leave them lying all over the place and/or among the landscaping.

Stupid people at restaurants who have no idea how cooking is actually done (Such as complaining that their extra well done steak took over 20 minutes to get to them or complaining their blue steak is undercooked).

Political Correctness.

Elitist, overachieving, grade-grubbing, honor students.

You know what really grinds my gears? People who smack gum during movies at the theater. I mean, the nerve! Here I am trying to watch Twilight and I have some 13 year old smacking her gum like theres no tomorow. I mean, I just want to reach into her mouth and shove that gum into her eye and then kick her out the door. Oh, oh and you know what else really grinds my gears? Enviromentalists, yeah thats right, I'm looking at you Al Gore. Don't think I don't notice you using Jets and cars to get around, practice what you preach buddy and take a walk or a bike the next time you want to get around. If you want to live in the stone age, then live there.

Quoted for truth.

This thread.

Also Teletubbies and Mainframe Goblins.

Overly dumb people.

People who don't use comma's in sentences.

People who take 5 minutes to describe everything. "I got up this morning, and felt quite thirsty so decided upon myself that a nice cup of tea would be a good idea. of course, when I got to the kitchen it appeared that I was out of milk, so off I went to tecso's where I ran into my old friend Gweneth in the middle of the dairy isle. It turns out she was only there to buy milk as well, would you believe it?" translation: "I met Gweneth when I bought some milk today"

People who have to speak out loud every single thing they are thinking.

People who seem to think they can't be heard unless they stand 5 inches away from you, and can't comprehend that the reason you are backing away is to avoid getting drenched in spit.

Putting on clothes after you've taken a shower and your hair is still wet.

I'm not a big fan of the letter j either.

What grinds my gears is the irony and hypocrism in this thread.

What grinds my gears is Chuck Norris. Who am I kiddin', I can't even feel them anymore, nobody does after a roundhousekick to the face.

- The "higher than you" attitude of some people.

- Excessive negativity.

- "My country is better than yours"

- "My Religion is truth" (or the "only one")

- Extremists

- Racism

- Ballak

- A gear-grinder.

- This. 

People who sign their posts, when there's a space dedicated for "signatures" in your post, just below it.

another thing that grinds my gears are these new type  of commercials that use real people and kinda play them as the dumb customers to think that there geting something and its totally diffrient for example the " Windows Mojavae comercials" pizzahut pasta  Hardees comercials its basicly saying oh we think people are dumb and wont notice the diffrence.

People that make things plural when they are not.  And mispronouncing words.

Examples:

• Wal-marts
• Hot Topics
• Expresso

It's like nails on a chalkboard.

I think I may have found the source of your problem.

People that claim that they really are nice people, they just enjoy annoying others and making other people miserable. Excuse me? But isn't that basically the definition of a bad person? Someone who takes pleasure from others misery.

People that think that they, and they alone, have a higher understanding of the whole universe and life in general and that their theory to everything is undeniable fact and won't listen to a word you say if it doesn't line up with that belief.

People that think they are expert Psychologists and understand the whole human race better than anyone else, then act on this assumption to try and tell you who you are and how you feel about various subjects.

People who think Ad Hominem is a valid form of debating.

In general, people who have no understanding of logic or how to apply it to an argument.

People who don't know the meaning of the word Irony and use it incorrectly all the time, same goes for the words Pristine and Nonplussed.

People who say "Oriented" as "Orientated"

It's orient - ed NOT orient - ated

why?... because I did object oriented programming at uni... and only about 3 people ever said it correctly.

*rage*

Hmm...

Liars are up there at the top, but that's more of a trust issue thing. As for just annoying, that'd have to be passive-aggressive people for me. If you want to say something, come right out and say it imo.

That's more of a regional thing though, like herb.

"Now, You say 'erbs' and we say 'herbs', because there's a **** H in it!

Eddie Izzard

When you ask someone an A or B question and they answer it with yes or no.

Initially you might think or well surely when they say yes or no they are referring to the latter part of the question, the B if you will. Ultimately however, this is not so despite what i had hoped and as such this is something that causes me great frustration - ultimately grinding my gears.
