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

[Day of the Cope]

People who're so tone-deaf. For example, when you say your phone sucks and you're strapped for money. Someone tells you "well, just try and buy a new phone." Like yeah okay, I have hundreds of dollars just in the creases of my couch that sat for years that I can just pull out and slap down for a new phone.

These are usually the same people who you'll help a dozen different ways on a weekly basis. But the second they feel slighted by something you said/did, suddenly you're a deadbeat good for nothing loser.

I am just sick to death of clicking on a video about something that has nothing to do with the world, like games or hobby stuff or whatever and having to listen to some foreign fucker ramble about Donald Trump or the latest astroturfed riot.

Canadians do this too. The youtuber I'm specifically thinking of looks like a soyboy so it's really not that surprising but still. Yeah, lets interrupt this video on spiders for a quick smug about how drumpf will never take Canada, which is a superior and more pregressive and heckin' tollerant land

I don't get this need for content creators to talk about things outside of their wheelhouse. Imagine if a political commentator just randomly dropped his opinion on the best way to install a toilet.

My Amazon got stolen again. This is the second time in two and a half months. I'm just gonna use the Amazon locker at the gas station a mile away. I don't care if I have to walk through all that ice. I've had it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the junkies in the apartment building next door. There's always weirdos going in and out of there and banging on the door late at night. Ambulances talking people out in stretchers. Fuck this hood. Some piece of slime came up on the porch and stole a 40 can case of cat food before I could get downstairs to get it.

I was lucky enough to get a customer service rep who spoke English and was able to resend my order. But she couldn't send it to the Amazon locker. I'll be here so I guess I'll have my phone out constantly checking for a pic that it's on the porch. I'm on the second floor behind two thick doors so it's hard to hear anything.

I swear to God... If some junkie tries to sell me Friskies cat food tomorrow I'm going to spontaneously combust. It's probably gonna go right to the bodega in the morning.

Sounds like a problem for the second amendment to solve. (if you're in the US, that is.) Don't get a pistol, though; those aren't always intimidating and much higher risk.

Instead, opt for a pump-action, 12-gauge shotgun.

Nothing gets people's attention quicker then the sound of you racking one onto the chamber. Plus, they're easier to get, you don't have to aim that well, the pallets are less of a perimeter risk (depends on the ammo, obvs), and you probably won't have to ever fire it.

I had one of these and might get another.

[Lady Bizness]

My pooner coworker unironically believes a lot of sjw bullshit. It doesn't surprise me, but it's weird working with the type of person we constantly rant about on this website. She's everything we hate personified. Just today she was spouting off how "real communism has never been tried." Last week she was whining about how she can't go to a Lady Gaga concert in Minnesota because of ICE. You read that correctly. She's really that cringey. And yes it pisses me off. But because I like my job I grin and bear it. At least I can rant here.

Was yours out of the office for the ICE Out protest? Cuz mine was

Thread tax: these mother fuckers need to give up on their new year's resolution yesterday. The amount of retarded shit at the gym has only intensified. Back away from the bosu ball. Just do normal exercises for Christ's sake.

 

[Retarded Weeb]

People using "debunked" to mean "proven". Like saying "Yes, X causes Y, this has been debunked multiple times." I get how this would happen - your brain is trying to say that attempts at disproving it have been debunked - but the way it's coming out has you saying the opposite of what you mean and it's confusing.

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

Politics being injected into anything and everything. This weekend, I was listening to an internet station that has a weekly segment of Irish music, and the show played a song - possibly recorded live from a concert - where the artist chose to chant/sing "Free Palestine!" repeatedly midway through the song. People deserve an escape from the nonstop political crap and everyday BS that's become ingrained in society. The same people who demand their safe spaces feel nobody else deserves them.

Google Image Search has entered into some incestuous marriage with Facebook where the first result for every search is a grainy hostage thumbnail. You click it thinking you’re about to get an actual image, and instead you’re funneled into FB. Oh, you want the full-resolution? Create an account.

private equity

private equity guys always try to make fast money, and it always fucks up their clients in the lomg run


why do people hire them?

When dealing with people who are sick for a while, it really gets you down. The killer is that their misery spreads on to you, and then you start to resent them. I don't want to resent the people I love, but sometimes it's hard not to.

I guess it makes sense when you remember what our culture admires: fintech weirdos with podcasts and MLM influencers.

It annoys me when you try to save an image on Google on your phone and instead of being able to save it, it highlights the text and the image instead and doesn't let you save it, THAT grinds my gears. : )

 

[Mysterious Figure]

I got trolled into buying a diet Dr Pepper at the vending machine. Somebody taped a paper saying Pepsi on top of the diet Dr Pepper button, and I pushed it.

Thankfully it tastes almost like regular Dr Pepper, because diet drinks are usually gross. I took down the paper and threw it away.

Fucking videos that choke on themselves during buffer. Refreshed hundreds of times, still shits at the same spot, gets a little further after waiting about 10 minutes.

Me at a store late at night and I see more than one parent here with their kids.

Man, why the hell are parents letting their kids stay up after 10 pm on a weekday?

 

[Gandhi's Left Hook]

My feelings are obvious if you’ve seen me post anywhere, but here’s the thing: I actually respect ardents Zionists more than the goyim horde who funnel tax money their way ‘cause "browns are biowaste" or “Israel’s our shield against Sharia law” or because their 2003 firmware never got patched. Pavlov’s dogs in flat brimmed caps.

I respect the dedication but not their motivation.

Thread tax: anti-ICE groups are upping their presence in my city. Fuck them so much. I want them all in jail or exiled for life to some desert Island.
