Thread: What Really Grinds My Gears

    What Really Grinds My Gears

    Hey guys, I figured that we could use a thread where we vent about petty irritances and random day to day sights that grind away at us. I figured it'd be something like Peter's show segment in the Family Guy movie.

    I want to stress that there it no intent on my part to single out or make fun of another poster in the making of this thread. Yeszir wants me to remind anyone that any singling out of a particular poster in this thread will result in a ban.

    Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling. Here are some things that really grind my gears.


    1. People who can't drive (ie don't use signals, stop for no reason, double park etc)

    2. When someone doesn't flush in a public restroom.

    3. When porno's try to have a storyline.

    4. The entire cast of Jersey Shore.

    5. Whenever Daniel Tosh puts himself into every clip on Tosh.o

    6.) Whenever anyone says "Ya, know what I'm sayin"...

    7.) People who drink directly out of the milk/orange juice containter

    8.) People who blame anything but themselves for THEIR failure

    9.) People who sit next to you on public transportation even when there are other seats available

    10.) Going through the drive thru, then having to go back when they screw your order up

    4 Except Vinnie He is a true Italian. Paulie is alright cause he is from Crantson

    11.) People who wear hats backwards

    12.) People who are white but try to act white.

    13.) People who show up late to class

    14.) People who listen to music through their headphones so loud that it is louder than yours.

    15.) People who are generational Welfare members

    In no order:

    - Slow drivers/bad drivers. Also including when two 18 wheelers are going 65 a piece on the interstate and block you from passing them. I hate that so much.

    - Americans who know nothing about the world (a large % of teens), much less our country. I'm talking about the type of people who if given a map of the US couldn't even identify even 25 states. Instead they would rather just listen to Lady Gaga and watch some garbage show on MTV or something. The worst part is most of them could care less.

    - Fast food places that are slow and get your order wrong

    - Disrespectful/rude people. If anyone has ever worked in retail before you know what I mean.

    - The ridiculous cost of college and the scam that is buying textbooks

    1. Buy a DVD, then have tp watch 5 or 6 ads.

    2. Drivers who leave their turn signal on after turning, then go 4 or 5 streets, and turn the other way.

    3. People that are not prepared at the bank drive through.

    4. Comcast, who has established a fee for everything.

    5. Social Security, taxing retirees after they retire and continue to work. Not to mention all you youngins that will never see a dime.

    Or when people don't even use the crosswalk. I'm not even referring to the usual jaywalking that you'll see in cities (Boston for example), I'm referring to when old people walk really slowly more than 30 ft outside of a crosswalk without looking that causes you to jam on the breaks since you were speeding to avoid the red light in the first place.
