***Official "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" Thread***

People. Take for instance last weekend's run in. I got smacked in the face by some stupid bint in a bar executing what I can only assume was some sort of dance move that involved her walking backwards whilst windmilling her arms. But, that's not the kicker. Not only do I not get an apology, but her mate comes over, grabs my sleeve and starts having a go! :mad: So to summarise, her mate doing something pretty reckless and just plain retarded hits me in the face, yet somehow they're the wronged party! WTF!? I just shrugged her off and walked away, but inwardly I was seething.

I know I should have falcon punch her in the ovaries/smashed her pasty/smashed her back pasty etc...
 
It depends on my mood... some days nothing bothers me in the slightest, and some days I feel like everything anyone does is irritating.
 
People using the phrases:
"Vast majority" - It appears in the press all the time. Never just "majority".
"At the end of the day." - Used to sidestep having to provide a valid argument.
"I could have/should have" - It's "I could HAVE/I should HAVE"

Newspapers overusing the words "Fury" and "Misery". Whenever someone is unhappy about something they always write something like "COMMUTER PRICE RISE FURY", and any time there is a problem with trains they say "COMMUTERS FACE TRAVEL MISERY". These 2 words imply an extremely strong emotion, and they are devaluing them by using them all the time. I don't see people going ape **** on the trains or crying.

People who don't know how to use the self-checkout tills!

If you don't know how to use it, DON'T USE IT!

to true, also when they just stare at the screen (which normal shows 1)unexpected item in bagging area or 2) place item in the bagging area) the first normal caused because there kids are sitting on the bagging/weighing area and they don't bother to get the kids off the second because they are still holding the items, and they wonder why it doesn't work. I keep saying people should have to take a test to use the self service just so it gets rid of the people who cant and makes life a little easier in the supermarket. Ahh end of my little rant

The ones in our local Asda do have a habit of throwing these errors at you just for ***** and giggles though, which annoys me no end especially when the 2 staff covering the tiny area taken up by the tills have either disappeared or have their thumb firmly wedged up their arse and manage to ignore the warning on their little screen, the flashing light above their head and the team america emergency signal normally being carried out by my housemate.
Infact Asda in general normally raises my stress levels.
 
house shares...or houses that dont have good basic equipment.

a kettle that's covered in limescale...toasters that dont cover the whole slice of bread... carp Iron and Ironing boards......gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Not people. Right now its a person who thinks there's two things wrong with me -everything I say & everything I do. :mad:

But she's like this with everyone - one of these days her attitude is going to get her a severe slap (I hope so anyway) :p:o.

Her & Essex Supermarket warehouse persons who never answer the bell. :mad:
 
People who make a lot of noise so you get no sleep as you are up early. They don't have to be, so can lie in all they like once they turn in themselves. :mad:
 
Tourettes walkers in London!

Slow people are fine as long as they remain slow and don't start weaving around and stopping like a pilled up goat.


FLAXING MOVE PEOPLE, I'M A COMING THRU!!!!!!1111 POWEERRR

You know what really grinds my gears? Sky deciding that channels would be better off if they changed the channel number. For example woke up this morning, put the TV on to watch a bit of Comedy Central while eating my breakfast, type in "126" up pops MTV :mad: Comedy Central has moved to 112, which is going to take weeks for me to get used to. Thing is Comedy Central +1 and Comedy Central Extra are still on channels 127 and 128.

LEAVE THEM ALONE SKY!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, Sky prewarned all subscribers about this weeks ago and makes it easier to find the HD channels. Plus start using your Favorites button, thats what its there for;)

Anyway, what really grinds my gears??? High taxes cause by plain simple greed, like petrol prices for example.

Also the women at my work who moaning about being old AND THEY ARE ONLY 23!!!!!!!!!!! God help them when they turn 30.

Ah yes, f'ing people at the self-checkout! There's a freakin sign saying "Card only" above the things and you still get people scanning their whole load through and then they start complaining to an assistant when they can't pay cash and then the realise it's card only and leave the thing sitting their with all their stuff scanned so no-one else can use it till a shop-monkey clears it.

And on the subject of checkouts, there is always items which it doesn't weigh properly so it hangs until you can get someone to help you which cancels out your speed saving for using thing. And at Morrisons the stupid things tell you after every single item to "Put the item in the bag.". The guy that has to stand there must be slowly driven crazy having to hear that all day.
 
Uni Flatmates, and everything about them. The noise, the filth, the complete lack of appreciation for all things technical.

To be fair most days I can shut myself in my room and lock them out, going to visit friends on campus who are less annoying :)

Well here's a few!

When you go swimming, having to go for a number 2... i'm sure the cold water has an effect on Mr Hankey and MY GOD how much does it feel like you're going to slip down the pan with wet buttocks

Women at cash machines putting in debit cards, checking the balance, putting another one in only to find there was more money in the first one, re-inserting the first card only to forget/get wrong their pin!

People not really doing something important that they have promised to do

Spending 2hrs filling out a job application only to have an instant "Requirements for Position Not Met"... yeah THANKS FOR THAT!!! you could have stopped me when the very very very specific requirement was not met... seriously just have a pop up say "unlucky chum! Try again next year!"

People who just stand letting their dogs take a dump in the highstreet... i'm gona start carrying a padded envelope, put the **** in it, follow them home then post it through their letter box ensuring to smear some on the door handle

Citizens Advice Bureau... seriously i want to know this... do they ever answer their phones? I've been calling now since January 10th every day betwee 10.30 and 3.30 at random intervals and prior to Xmas at least twice per week

Connexions CV's seriously... since when do you put your date of birth on your CV! Ejits!

Staff at banks asking if you're OK when you've just been given bad news contradicting what a BANKING ADVICE LINE has given you 2 days prior, your sole intention going to the bank and doing something because of this Advice... finding out it has actually cost you 650 smackers to be asked "are you OK"... yea fine but i seem to be ****ing money

My God i've had a bad evening clearly... i m ashamed :(
