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

Nothing wrong with that at all.

I beg to differ number 1 it will instantly allow people to make a stereotypical judgement about you based on your age... oh they're too old... oh they're young and stupid... they're set in their ways.

There's a reason i get paid £30 for writing CV's ya know!

Grinds my gears?

Wife parking the car using the alloys scraping against the kerb as useful indicators of whether she's close or not. GRINDS MY GEARS!

Shep Cobain being just utterly, utterly useless. And I care and get worked up, so shame on me. GRINDS MY GEARS!

Wine running out. GRINDS MY GEARS!
 
Fully redecorating our lounge, freshly plastered wall, new wallpaper, new cloud 9 underlay, new very expensive carpet etc etc.

Then the back boiler breaks and pishes out all of the water from the central heating system and soaks everything.

Ahhh, unlucky
but yeah, I still lolled :( :o


my gear grinder, "Warmest Regards"

*shudder*
what's wrong with you? just say Regards, anything more is just shoving tongues in dark places.

(I blame this entirely on someone I didn't like who used this phrase all the time)

Would love to see these CV's, and I would take the word of a headhunter friend over a CV writer anyday, they are the people that find candidates after all ;)
 
If he's a headhunter type he's probably the person who trawls a 6/7 page CV from the "headhunters" i know!

Also grammar police how lame :rolleyes:

She is very good at her job and works at the top end of the recruitment market :)
 
last night


gf's day off so we chilled and did pretty much bugger all, I cooked dinner, invited the monster in law round to have some, washed up tidied kitchen etc by this time it's 6pm

straight after eating gf puts her laptop on, I'm catching up with the news, the evening rolls on, before I know it I look at the clock and it's almost 9pm.

I ask her what she's doing "I'm moving my trees around on farmville"

I get my coat and tell her I'm going to go home, then when I get in I'm subjected to a load of grief because I'm moody


gears mashed
 
"The Big Society" grinds my gears down to a pile of filings.

BBC 24 is on in the background and they've used the phrase so many times that the words are losing all meaning. I don't know what "The Big Society" is but I hate it and I hate the git that coined the phrase.
 
Can I ask what breed of dog you had snapdragon? I asked in the doggy thread a few times but you seem to want to avoid the question for some reason :confused:
 
I hate people calling me, and I hate people texting me. Or texting while talking to somebody.
I don't know why, because I'm not antisocial, I just hate mobile phones.

Gets annoying when people just stand and chat at the bar in a busy club, especially when there's a huge que to get served.

Oh, and religious people who either refuse to listen to any other factual arguments and/or ignore any significant evidence in a discussion over religion. Religious people in general I find irritating usually anyway.

+1 on the mobile phone gear grinder, I do own one myself but never use it and couldn't tell you what my number is.

I do see their use though, but people these days seem lost without their phone, plus they seem to be such a huge status symbol to some people; the amount of pics you see with a strategically positioned phone/iPad/iPod/etc in the background always make me laugh.
