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

When people assume that being nerdy means you must be a Star Wars, Star Trek, or capeshit fanboy.
I'll add to that any nerd in a modern film or tv show made for NPCS being depicted as an afficionado when it comes to films or comics, but their knowledge bank never extending beyond references to Star Wars and Batman.
 
Or if they just yell “Bazinga!” Like it’s some sort of dog whistle. It’s why I never call myself a nerd, I hate that bullshit big bang theory started.
I hate that too. I hate that show with every fiber of my being. I've had different people assume I must like the show and identify with it. Because I'm so nerdy, right? :roll:

Yeah, that sucks too. I also hate it when they assume you must be a computer expert too! Speaking for myself, I'm computer literate and good with Microsoft Office, but I'm not a computer programmer.

Whenever anyone tells me I "have" to watch the newest decent show or hype something because "it's like... so totally fetch!"
I usually have a pretty decent bullshit detector. There was a part of me when people told me to watch Game of Thrones that was like... Eh, I don't know, let's see how this shakes out.
Thank god. I just know most American shows no matter how good they start, will either fizzle out or have a complete subterfuge of an ending that will ruin any good will I put into it.
My instincts rarely betray me.

With anime it's something I'm willing to do because I'm wasting 5-10 hours of my life instead of a literal week of watching hours. But it still gets pretty bad. I don't know how many times a new shounen has come out and people rave it's the anime of the century that defies all conventions and then it's... decent. Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man. Too many "game changers" that NPCs can't stop shitting themselves over that I find okay but know will get worse the more I know about the manga.

I just wish people could have a moderate enjoyment of something anymore. Like starting off a conversation with a warm "Yeah that shows pretty good right now" instead of tryhards who would be excited with keys being dangled in front of their face declaring something is the second coming of christ.
 
I fucking HATE the people that sing along to the god awful music played on the PA radio at my job. Like nigger SHUT THE FUCK UP. It's bad enough I have to listen to this garbage music all day, I don't need you making it worse filtered through your tone-deaf cock socket.

If I wasn't worried about losing my job or going to jail I would beat the ever loving shit out of anybody who started singing while I'm trying to do my fucking job.

There is NOTHING that gets on my nerves faster.
 
When Youtube intentionally hides their topic videos. When I look for a song, I used to be able to search "(song) topic" or audio. I don't want a random person's low-quality bitcrushed slideshow from 2008.

I noticed when I do get a topic video, they often try to direct me to acoustic or live or "clean radio edit" versions of a song I’m searching for by name.
Literally every single version of a song ever made, except the only one anyone would look for.

Always popular ones, too. Songs that people search for to hear the original album version, because they just want the fucking song. Who the fuck looks up a song by its name to listen to the acapella version? Who does this benefit?

Or another fun one: it'll suggest every other song from the same album, all topic uploads. So you have to click on one of those to get the topic of the song you wanted in the recommendation bar. It feels like YT is trying to prevent me from seeing what they know I'm looking for.

You have to recommendation hop to find a topic video for something as basic as Justin Bieber's "Baby". And all of this is if you can find a topic video instead of being stuck with the music video or nothing. Yeah, I want to listen to three quarters of a censored song interlaced with sound effects and dialogue from the music video.

YouTube has become absolute shit in the past few years, to the point where I need multiple addons to make the site usable; but that's nothing compared to the 33 patches I have to apply to their mobile app to remove 99% of the garbage they try to shove in your face.
 
Plane security fucking sucks. The made me discard a bottle of 4 oz shampoo because it was 1 oz over the limit
 
Alogs that just hate whatever cow so much they can't even stand the thought of that cow doing anything good or funny. I find it especially relevant with Ralph alogs. Like they're so fucking upset if anything mildly positive happens to him or he does anything that doesn't paint him in a bad light.
 
The normalization/embracing of incontinence. The multiple ads in magazines for pads and diapers. Pinterest being clogged with incontinence ads (no matter how many times I say it's not relevant to me).

What especially irritates me is how stores now put pee pads right next to the menstrual pads. They used to be with medical stuff. Because incontinence is a medical problem. Now it's normal and expected, like periods. I was doing an internet search on pad reviews, and even when I specifically searched "period pads," incontinence ads were the most common results.

I know it is extremely common, and I'm not saying it should be shameful. But it shouldn't just be accepted; there are treatments and lifestyle changes that work in many cases. Mainly, not being a fatass greatly reduces the risk. But we've normalized and embraced obesity, so normalizing the consequences is the next step.

When people take it to the next level and act like I have three heads because I haven't seen [current thing]. Thankfully, those absolute NPCs get clocked right quick regardless and I can usually avoid them.

All three proportionately leading causes of fecal incontinence are up, and one of them is also a/the leading cause in urinary incontinence.

Fecal incontinence is easily caused by anal sex, due to the damage it causes by way of nerve damage, tears and stretching that loosen the sphincter. Morbid obesity, for reasons I'm not able to remember the specifics of. The third is the one that also causes urinary incontinence: childbirth complications. Your odds of getting a vagasshole (your intestinal wall and/or sphincter torn completely open into your vagina), damaged sphincter nerves, a torn urethra or damaged urethra/bladder nerves go through the fucking roof if you give birth before your pelvis is finished widening at about age 25.

We live in an age where teen pregnancy, obesity and faggotry are enabled, normalized and celebrated. That's why incontinence products are in more abundance, are normalized and get lumped in with menstrual products. Elderly people who are so decrepit that they can no longer control their functions are now in a minority among incontinence statistics, IIRC. Oh, and I guess I forgot about drug and alcohol abuse causing brain damage that leads to incontinence, but I have no idea how common a symptom that is for them.

I'll add another a lot of people will probably disagree with.
The alogging of autism in general. Like the dude a page a go who sounded quite exceptional while talking about exceptional people being the virus of the human race. I'm not going to moral-fag anyone but it is exceptionally gay when you have a discussion on here about a cow with obvious tism' and an alog has to come out of the woodworks and give a five paragraph screed about how anyone on the spectrum needs to be put in chambers and wiped off the Earth.
Autistic people are fun to laugh at online and follow their antics, but the only thing more exceptional than an autist is another one trying to say how they all need lined against the wall. It would be fine if it was comedically intentioned overkill, but they're not trying to seem like they're joking.
Most of the people on here can at least be honest and say they're sort of in on the joke because they're not exactly philistines but if someone unironically is going on rants about wanting to gas retards, they're probably a little further gone than half the cows on here.
Just don't be throwing throwing sonic-themed puzzle pieces in that glass train of yours is all I ask.
But then how can I make up for ten trillion years of my white oppression of superior black bodies?
Hey buddy, we're talking about 400 YEARS OF INJUSTICE HERE!
...only 400... :(

Put together a new PC and it's not making it to post. I should have listened to myself and waited till the weekend, I was too cranky and tired and probably missed something important, but for now I'll have to look at an expensive paperweight till I can figure out what's wrong.
