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

[nycifer]

People who feel they need to flex on weird things that isn't anything to get proud about.

There was someone who was flexing about how he supposedly hates the Epic Game launcher, but has redeemed every single free game Epic has given away since they started doing that. And they aren't even going to play them. Then you've got people who will knowingly redeem free games on Steam and go "I know I'm not going to play this but I just want it".

While it isn't my business, time and effort thankfully, why do you need to let people know this shit? It makes you look like a fucking loser with no life.

If I don't fall asleep by 4 am, I give up trying.

I used to hate the waste of time that is tossing and turning more, but that one Mythbusters episode made me feel better about it. If you haven't seen that one, they measured brainwaves, did reaction speed tests, looked at alertness, very thorough stuff. They determined with strong confidence that simply laying down and trying to sleep is far more healthy for you than doing nothing at all, even if you don't manage to get to sleep in the time allotted.

Sounds like fucking meth-head behavior. God damn I hate living around tweakers, they are unique even among drug addicts in their desire to steal anything that isn't welded down [and even then sometimes], heroin people might take a car stereo or someone's change jar, but tweakers will take shit that isn't even actually worth anything to them. In tweaker neighborhoods, the only real benefit is that if you leave a broken appliance on the curb, or like a chair or something, it'll be gone before the garbageman even thinks about coming around. You just know some fucking methhead is out there taking it apart and putting it back together over and over again, accomplishing absolute fuck-all until they eventually haul in the pieces for scrap value.

There has been tweaker behavior in my neighborhood, Amazon boxes thrown about usually with the contents missing, scooter and that kind of thing. I saw the guy who stole a scooter but he wasn't having much luck with it because I found it dismantled down the street.

I don’t know if this is 'comforting' or not, but the unfortunate truth is that in real life, mistakes aren't forgiven.

You'd have to be mildly sociopathic to not make mistakes, so I don't even worry about it.

I hate how with light mode, there's still white text in posts for some inexplicable reason.

At least once a junkie gets his smack he's down for the count until he runs out. He isn't going around stealing shit. Meanwhile, fucking tweakers steal shit to buy meth and then they're even more energetic in going around stealing shit.

I'm so glad to live somewhere without porch pirates.

I fucking do this and it even pisses me off at myself. Why the fuck do I do this?

You ever have a serious moment like an argument or proper adult discussion, but one word or phrase just fires off something in your brain that makes you think of something stupid or inappropriate? For example, during a serious discussion with my wife, the moment the word "compromise" was said, all I could think of in the moment was "you want compromise, how's this? Twenty years in the can I wanted Manacott, I compromised. I ate grilled cheese off the radiator". Has to spend the rest of the conversation trying my best not to giggle like a retard.

I cannot stand when my neighbor decides to clean out his car and blares music with their shitty blown out speakers. No I don't want to hear awful bass lines buzzing in your beater for two hours. Quit that shit!

I feel that because, I've made an awful lot of stupid and impulsive purchases of Steam games. I'm at 620, but I know I have maybe 400 more in the "steam graveyard" of games I've deleted from my account because I couldn't stand the personal shame of knowing how bad it got, so I tried mitigating the issue. I know I'm never, ever going to play most of these games and it's going to weigh on me for a while unless I dedicate every free time I have to just forcing myself to play them just to say I did.

Games are meant to be played, not collected for clout.

TT: When I watch a single video on YouTube that I found interesting and suddenly I see a 100 copycats sprout in my recommended feed. It happened when I watched a video from a channel called aboringday, who revs up the voltage to electronic toys until they break down. I ended up seeing about 25 similar channels come up since watching the video.

Always nice to get hit on by an old Muslim neighbor of mine who I barely talk to, who knows I'm married and is acquaintances with my husband, and is married and has known my family since I was a kid.

There's a few old women who will use a few boxes for a laptop or tablet to either record themself (for a coach I'd assume) or watch what appears to be a workout dvd. I don't think any of these people are influencers either, most of the influencers left after some major renovations and policy changes and a bunch of these people showed up..

Without powerleveling too much, since my last series of posts they have gotten rid of a bunch of the more advanced equipment, stuff you could use for athletic training, and anything somewhat unique to fill the gym with more cardio equipment and more of the most basic machines that hardly anyone used in the first place. I'm not even sure they'd pass a safety inspection with how cramped everything is, if they would it would be based on the idea that a rack or bench has enough clearance to do basic exercises but not anything special.

I made the mistake of looking at facebook to see what was going on with some people. sigh.

No, silence is not violence.
No, silence is not compliance.

People have a right to privacy, and that includes their opinions about whatever fucktarded thing is popular to be outraged about this week.

You are not entitled to my thoughts.
Those are for me to inflict upon whomever *I* choose, thankyouverymuch.

I don't know how I keep forgetting the proper way to talk on the phone is to put it on speaker at max volume and talk like you're on an active construction site. My dumbass keeps putting the phone to my ear like an actual slow in the mind. Maybe in another 30 years this wisdom will finally find its way to me.

The amount of family that are cordial, fun to be around, and have a great sense of humor until you talk to them on Facebook is absurd.

Spoiler: Powerlevel

My wife's relationship with her dad is supposed to be rock solid. He literally kept her heart pumping by massaging her chest as a baby when she nearly died. They've been close her entire life. She told him to stop talking about politics if he's tired of it and suddenly they're no longer close and she can barely get him to talk to her at all. This was after she told him to stop calling her fallopian tube removal (due to a rupture from an ectopic pregnancy) an abortion and he got pissed at her.

Having the day off, but waking up at 6 am anyways because your body is like "nah, you are awake now".

Honestly I prefer this over the other option, where it's your day off, but you sleep in until 10am, by the time you're fully caffeinated and ready to leave the house, it's past noon; by the time you've done whatever chores and errands you had to do it's already 3-4pm.

It must be a getting old thing, but shit just seems to take longer these days. You look at the clock and go "wait how has it been two hours", and before you know it you gotta be in bed. Entire weeks seemingly just vanish. I want my goddamn money back.

Gulp....smack. Anyway.
That tears me up. Even when I like em, it makes me not want to watch them.

Apartment complexes who adopt shitty "solutions" like PayRange and Flex. I'm sitting here right now, I can't connect to any of the machines down below me, my phone is out of data but I have wi-fi. Not one motherfucker ever thought there would be people who're in this situation to figure out a way to pay via wi-fi or make the connection strong enough so everyone in the building could pay for a dryer or washer when they loaded it. So great, my fucking laundry is going to sit there, the detergent is going to stain or make the clothes smell because of this kind of bullshit.

I would've much have rather gone back to the damn laundry cards we used to use.

It's the opposite for me. My family talks so much shit about other people in real life, but act like angels on Facebook. Many people don't realize they are assholes.

 

[Lady Bizness]

My family is mostly behaved in FB - just the one dumb vegetarian uncle, I sure wish he wasn't spending the rest of his waning years sharing volatile left-wing hot takes.
What gets me is the constant suggestions for communities that look manufactured or not something I'm interested at all, and the most controversial posts from groups I'm apart of get pushed to the top.
I just wanted to see my niece's graduation photos.

The problem is retards are so comfortable using every opportunity as a soapbox and/or open air therapy session that they can't fathom someone NOT sharing their personal life. They treat you like the freak and it's like nigga what!?
