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

I hate that they all go with a single control. I want 2. "Volume" and "Temperature"
At home I went all in with the fancy. 4 knobs. One each for flow of the shower head, hand shower and tub spout and one for the temperature. The temperature is thermostatic so you set it once and forget it unless, I guess, you share with other people with different ideas of 'warm'.

It's not perfect but it's as close as I've been able to find that's fully manual with no electronics.

I'm pretty sure I would either die from scalding injuries or freeze myself into an ice cube like a cartoon character trying to figure out how to operate that thing. "Knob that goes from Way Too Cold to Way Too Hot" is as complicated as I need a shower to be.

That's why it has an idiot button that locks it from going past 38C until you press it. If you press the button then you better expect it to do something.
(It also has a secondary lock somewhat higher, I overrode that one when I installed it.)
 
Every couple months there’s a new subspecies of internet vermin to test my patience, this week it’s the hiking enthusiast. "take the hiking pill”, "if everyone just chilled out, smoked joints and walked the Appalachian Trail, we’d have peace” guy.

Asswipe, I don’t want to go hiking. I don’t want to “develop my trail legs.” I hate nature.

And I don't want them hiking either. These fucking dorks just tromping along face buried in their GPS they might as well be home.
 
I've got a list.

1. Drivers who rush to cut me off when it's my turn to cross the street at a crosswalk. Especially when their car is further away and leaving a neighborhood. You can't wait five to ten seconds to let me cross the street? The light isn't even saying it's their turn to even turn.

2. People who hit the crosswalk button after I already hit it. Bitch, the crosswalk is bright red and beeping. Do they really think I didn't hit it already? Hitting it again won't make it go any faster.

3. YouTube videos that use boring and bad AI narration. I think it will be a decent video only for it to be some boring and lazily out together slop.

Yeah now, hiking the Appalachian is a beast if a whole other variety and being high is the last thing you wanna do when hiking it. Great read about it called A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson he goes into great detail how tough it can be. The TLDR of it is unpredictable in climate and easy to get lost and most people usually do it in halves at different times of the year.

Been to West Virginia twice, both times felt like I was getting my colon cored out by a mining drill. So I give Appalachia a wide berth. But from what I can gather, the Appalachian Trail has become this beacon for crunchy sovcit types who think it's the final form of freedom.

That reminds me. My husband used to work on cleaning up and preparing mountain trails, and he told me that the Sierra Club hikers are some of the most annoying cunts ever.

Mostly because they would act like they owned the trails and tried to push other people out and also because they'd ruin them and threaten others.
 
I try not to bore you people with internet complaints, everybody knows it’s a landfill and every year the smell gets worse. But it really chaps my ass when OP tries to catapult their message forward (typically men psychoanalyzing women or gringos projecting onto Asians) and when caught out, they go lmao serves you right for believing what you see on reddit.;)

"If I had x for everytime x happened, I'd have two x. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice". Just fucking kill yourself. Idk where this gay ass shit started but I see it everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I HEAR it everywhere. I wish I had a dime for everytime I heard this, because I'd be a fucking millionaire.

Also I've watched a dude I work with pack on at least an extra 60lbs of pure fat within the last couple of months. This autistic faggot, every single day, comes in with his giant ass Starbucks coffee flavored milkshake with whip cream towering out of the lid and big bag of donuts. Every single day. And now I get to bask in the glory of his fatfuck BO, that lingers behind for minutes wherever he goes.
 
Fucking Mondays, on which I inevitably wake up late because I just had to stay up too late being productive on some autistic cleaning exercise on Sunday night (last night it was re-stiffening and ironing expensive silk scarves, and cleaning, polishing, and sealing marble countertops (which really need professional attention)), then immediately lose the feeling of "ahh, I got so much done this weekend and feel pretty good" as I slowly remember all the stuff I meant to do but lost in the black hole over the weekend, and then procrastinate half the day away because I'm already behind before I start, and the guilt and dread manifests as avoidance, only making things worse as the minutes tick by. (:_(

Also: that a doc I have been doing video consults with for the last 5 years now insists I come in for an in-person, rx held at ransom until I do. Naturally, though I put it on for as late in the day as possible and blocked my calendar as out of office for the appointment and commute time (making it a rush-hour commute on hell highways), a really important meeting (that includes an exec who tagged me and only me on the project) gets scheduled over my blocked commute time. And it's going to be on camera, so I can't even take it in the car.

It's bad enough to have to be back in the office so much, but now that other things that work perfectly well remotely are requiring in-person again, even more of my time is lost to driving (and getting ready, bc being presentable for the camera is much easier and faster than being [my standard for] presentable in person). I'll get over it, but damn, people just stealing my time and causing me aggravation for no good reason.

Also: docs doing video calls are prompt; in-person there's almost always a wait.

Last: that spellchecker on my phone always corrects hell to he'll, despite that I use the first one a lot more often.

It's a quote/running joke from a children's cartoon (Phineas and Ferb). It's old enough that anyone who started watching it when they were 10 would be almost 30 by now, so that probably helps make it more omnipresent.
 
The awful grammar, literacy and vocabulary of my peers.
I am currently in a group of four and each of us have to write their own rapport about their current internship project and we have to check each others work. So I checked their work and it is depressing and shocking to read. They have basic spelling mistakes, weird sentences, nonsense sources and references, don't know how to use automatic numbering, overuse of adverbs, using blue hyperlinks, don't know about cross-referencing, overuse of English words in a Dutch text, assumes that the readers know what they are implying, making random claims without any sources, repeating the same text on the next page but worse, no descriptions around their figures, using middle school level vocabulary and sentence structures, using certain models for no reason except that it was taught that way, et cetera.

These people are supposed to be highly educated and this is the best they can deliver? Do they have no shame when have to read their own subpar work? How did they even get this far with this kind of work? When was the last time they read a book or a newspaper? This shit is fucking baffling to me, how are they supposed to survive at a real job?
 
People who force uncomfortable interactions on you. Like the guy who holds the door for you and stares despite the fact you’re like a 3 minute walk away so you feel compelled to run. Or the dude who motions for you to roll your window down from another car so he can make a stupid comment or hit you up for something, but you still gotta roll ‘em down because he might be telling you something important about your car you didn’t catch before you pulled out.
 
I fucking hate my monitor. The bullshit turns itself off when it thinks my game consoles and computer are off, which is never when I turn it on. It keeps not wanting to turn on no matter how much I press the power button, and sometimes it turns itself off repeatedly. FUCKING STOP TURNING OFF, THE SYSTEMS ARE GETTING SITUATED YOU FUCKER!

I hate the retards that hold the door open and demand I walk through the door, even though I'm just walking down the sidewalk. One time some dumbass tried this, and called me scared for not taking the door, complete with a crowd of people laughing.
 
This one is definitely more personal. I can't stand the whole MGTOW bullshit. It's just a bunch of bitter losers who want to blame women for why they're such losers instead of taking accountability and admitting their outlook on life is why they're miserable.

I had the misfortune of knowing one for five years. The guy was bitter, unkempt, thought he was better than others and always sabotaged whatever woman he dated by finding small faults with them, while blaming them for the breakup.

The guy even complained about women in the summer wearing tank tops and shorts when it was hot as hell outside.

Tbh I always thought the guy was gay.

All he taught me was that MGTOWs are mostly losers.

And yeah, I feel the same way about misandrists too. Both are extreme bitter losers.
 
A poster in the Last Podcast on the Left thread reminded me of this one: Spanish pronunciations by tryhard non-Mexicans. There’s a certain class of affluent white liberal who are either completely white (or Jewish) or like maybe 5% Mexican who speak perfect English until they encounter a Spanish word. Then they feel like they have to spit it at you like a stubborn to start lawnmower that has also been possessed by the Devil.
