You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

[Not A Bunny]

The sidewalks in my town are narrow to start with. They have buildings or high plants to one side and cars parked on the street to the other. Then you have the farm market. To get there from the parking lot, you need to walk down the street where you're constantly dodging old people, or people with those huge-ass baby carriages and their wagons for hauling stuff. I don't begrudge those people*. I try to be as respectful as possible and time my approach so there's a place where there's plenty of room to either pass or wait until they pass (like an entry to a parking lot).

The ones I begrudge are the ones looking at their phones as I'm headed in their direction, and are straight down the middle of the sidewalk, and they're impossible to dodge unless you want to hit a building, fall into a plant, or smash into a car.

I'm getting to be that old bat that will demand you get off your fucking phone and pay attention.

*I only begrudge those motherfuckers if they need to stand in line with the big-ass carriage or wagon. Usually those people are there with someone else, so they can grab their produce and move along to the cart waiting away from the line. Nope. Because the farm market is a bunch of tents, you get those people who have to maneuver the big old wagon around you, the next in line, to get out of the tent.

I love watching cute cat/dog videos. Small boost of pickup cheer and joy.

What i don't love is how the first comment that pops up on my screen is always "I used to have a pet. They fucking died. I miss them"

I feel for you, that sucks... But why do you have to bring that into "Cute kitten meets friendly St Bernard"?

So many comments like these in whats supposed to be a cute heartwarming clip. Instead of feeling the happs i end up hugging my dog instead

I am so tired of open-source projects constantly putting the least mentally stable people in charge of anything.

Yes, well, the people who can actually charge for their skills are busy getting paid.

I hate seeing cheaters in video games, especially games that are 10+ years old. Like, what is the point?

Small dicked retards and script kiddies.

Thread tax: Gankers in most online games like EVE Online or RuneScape. I'm so fucking tired of just wanting to space/fantasy farm and running into dipshits trying to gank me "for the tears". Motherfucker, if that's the only reason you play a game is to either piss people off and/or die like a bitch in the attempt, you're one sadass basement dweller. And most of these dickwads can't even do real PvP, they only try to gank people who are 100% not expecting a fight, or who look like an easy mark, yet act like they're hot shit badasses.

 

[Flatline]

Like, what is the point?

To show off to their elementary- and middle-school classmates. Developing street cred during those years will make or break their high school experiences, which, as we know, has rippling effects into college and the years beyond.

I hate the ones that try to make any situation in the video animal abuse.

"See how that dog is wagging his tail and play bowing? If you look at his ears, it's revealed he's actually extremely anxious and is probably being beaten."

EA listened to sports game autists and ruined the version of the game where my favorite team picked 1st overall and I actually wanted to buy. Basically added a dialogue system which is super overpowered but causes each choice to take 5-10 times longer. Added dynamic potential to ensure growing defensive players and teams was a bigger pain and it is easier to just boost the overall of scorers to make them good defensively. Reinforced forced morale and limited scoring so trying to build a deep team would never work and you need dedicated "checkers" like it was 2003, but if they're actually elite defensively their overall is too high so they will get pissed off they aren't being played as scorers. Added a broken no-trade clause system so half the players want one.

Something similar that annoys the fuck out of me is when a Youtuber uploads after an extended hiatus and the comments are full of "wait, you're not dead?!" Not only is it completely worthless fucking comments that add nothing, it actively takes away when like 49 of the first 50 comments I see are some version of that. Yeah, okay, cool, I'm so glad to know that you "plan to watch" the fucking video.

I agree. I blame it on bitches obsessed with troo crime who overanalyze everything to ensure their obsessions are validated.

On that note I also despise when people inject vegetarian or vegan propaganda into things like animal videos. No need to say “animals aren’t meant to be eaten!” in a video about rescuing a stray dog in Bali.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

“animals aren’t meant to be eaten!”

Yeah sure, bitch. Go tell that tiger over there he's carrying on eurocentric colonial ways of knowing or whatever by snacking on jeets. Also, if animals aren't made to be eaten then why did god make them so tasty? Checkmate atheists.

I see this all the fucking time on horse vids. Using a horse to pull stuff/old school farming tasks? ABUSE! Trying to train a foal to behave? ABUSE! (saw one where momma gave her foal a kick to stop being dumb and some airhead was saying the owner should've stopped it. Foal was fine)

Horse being skittish because horses are big, dumb, grass eating dogs that spook over anything? OMG HECKIN ANIMAL ABUSE

 

[Brain Power]

"Oofsie yikesies guess who catched the coofsies again and will stay home slacking around hehe!" No you didn't, it's plain ol' flu.

 

[seri0us]

Moreso "mildly disturbed" than "pissed" or "gears grinded", but watching cute cat/dog videos of a certain age where the animals have inevitably passed away in the years since it was filmed.

 

[Not Really Here]

Electrical outlets wired in feed through without pigtailing to the device.

I don't care if UL says the outlet is rated for it, I'm full on raging RN.

Fucking old people at the grocery store. You want one of the small containers of assorted fruits that range between .30 and .40 cents in price difference depending on the weight? Do I want this one, or this one, or this one... I'd better stand here for a full minute and think hard about it... I fucking hate you. Same thing in front of the hamburger, do I want just under a pound, or just over? I'd better touch each fucking package and inspect it closely, I'm not inconveniencing anyone by taking my time in making this extremely important decision, am I?

I know all you have to look forward to the rest of the evening is watching Wheel of Fortune and taking your meds, but some of us have shit to do and you're in the fucking way!

I work in finance. In terms of fussy, irrational avarice, old people are lightyears worse than the stingiest of Jews.

And MeatGramps' second wife took advantage of his dementia so she could get a bigger cut of his estate when he died. If she went where I think she went in the hereafter, she's having to watch every penny she stole get burned to ashes for eternity.

Fuck old people. Too many of them would rather set fire to their relationships and die alone in a nursing home than lose 1/10th of a percentage point in interest. I don't know why the hell they think they can take their riches with them once it's time for their dirt nap.

What pisses me off the most about this isn't that they do things like this, it's that most of them seem to wait until the weekend to do this shit when they're long since retired and have nothing to do every day of the week outside of the odd appointment to make sure they're in good enough shape to continue dragging their asses around. I don't even mind that they inspect the veggies and the meat and whatnot (I do the same thing within reason,) but they have almost no consideration for others and no situational awareness; they usually won't even do a quick look over their shoulder to make sure no one is behind them who may want to grab a package of pork chops or whatever. Instead they just putter around like somehow what's right in front of them is going to magically change like when you're sitting at a drive thru watching the electronic menu cycle through a few slides.

When I do my grocery shopping on the weekends it feels like I'm in a sea of old fucks. Meanwhile if I'm on vacation and decide to do my groceries on a Tuesday, the average age of the other shoppers goes down by about two decades.

I'm not saying that the elderly should be forced to stay indoors on the weekends, but it'd be nice if more of them would consider that there are people who actually have lives to lead and who work during the week that would appreciate not having to wait behind absolutely clueless old fucks in grocery store aisles or having to sit behind elderly people who do 20kmph under the speed limit on the roads because they're out for a "Sunday drive" and they're not even aware that anyone is behind them, etc.

An argument starts, then they don't even let you finish talking. Matter of fact, people that love to talk over you.
