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

[Sped Xing]

People who take the long way around answering a yes or no question. Example: "did you find that car listing online?" "yeah, I saw it on carguru." "So, yes." "Well yeah, but not on like social media." "So. Yes."
It's a yes or no question. Stop wasting time. I don't need qualifiers or a story--nobody does. I care significantly less when it happens online, but irl, it drives me up a fucking wall.

What about people who answer a question with an affirmation that they care about the answer?

"What time should I pick you up?"
"I'm excited; we need to make sure we coordinate."

People who take the long way around answering a yes or no question.

I hate it when people don't give a yes/no question a yes/no answer. Example:

Me: Should I do task X for you today?
Other person: It's going to rain tonight.
Me: (Thinking) Umm OK, but that doesn't answer the question.

What about people who answer a question with an affirmation that they care about the answer?

"What time should I pick you up?"
"I'm excited; we need to make sure we coordinate."

At least there's an implied yes in that particular response. It beats the people that either don't give a straight answer or give a non sequitur answer that makes no sense in context with the question.

People who:
1. have a problem
2. acknowledge they have a problem
3. acknowledge that this problem is the result of personal choices
4. but are bound and determined to continue making the personal choices that will ensure the problem persists

Hand in hand with this, it's piss off worthy when someone asks for advice and either ignores it completely or accuses you of trying to scare them, belittle them, etc. when you give them a good faith answer. One shouldn't ask for advice that's not going to be taken into consideration.

I bought the extended cut if waterworld but the extended version is only on the ultra HD 4k blu ray... The one that needs a 4k player and TV to watch which I don't have the money for. I still got the film on regular blu ray so it's not a total ripoff but still.

Was it one of those packs that have both the 4K Blu Ray and the regular Blu Ray?

Yup it is. The 4k blu ray is the newer one with the extended cut, the regular blu ray is the vanilla one universal put out back in like 2009 or 2010. I can tell because it mentions blu ray is "a new format " and aside the animated menu it's as bare bones as they come. The only special feature is the waterworld trailer.

But "yes" is not an answer to the question, "what time should I pick you up."

I may have mentioned this already but god damn it chaps my ass every single time.

People who say ‘to make a long story short’ and proceed to tell a 15 min story.
How the fuck is that shorter exactly?

You grab a soda out of the fridge, open it up and take a couple swigs, then put it down next to a can of the same stuff, or so you think. Then later, you reach down blindly, and take a swig of someone's tobacco spit.

At least it wasn't piss, I suppose.

I wouldn't give a shit about people who dip/chew if it weren't for the cups/cans of nasty shit they leave lying around.

I used to get shit for that. For good reason too. It's annoying.

People are trying to be sociable. Short answers sound curt.

They presume the person they're talking to wants to socialize with them when they just want a fucking question answered.

Someone older that I know does this. When I pointed out they could put the address directly in the address bar and save themselves an unnecessary step, they looked at me like I was trying to explain multivariable calculus to a kindergartner.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's frustrating, isn't it?

Another peeve that crossed my mind recently: People not liking it when you have personal preferences. Too many people I've known in my life seem to be confused or annoyed when they learn that I have my own taste in whatever. That I don't like everything equally. That I don't just like what everyone else likes. I'm not even trying to be contrarian or rebellious or whatever. I just like what I like! Whether it's music, movies, food, etc. God forbid I my own interests, right?

A thing that personally pisses me off is that i'm in this post and I don't like it.

So they're presuming the person they're talking to is neurotypical and not autistic.

People that say they want nothing to do with you, then a year or so later ask how you're doing out of the blue. Had this happen a couple days ago and the only response I could muster was "fine," Then this absolute fucking retard who can't take a hint tried to engage in more conversation and me not wanting any argument humored the conversation (rather than telling them to get ass fucked by a Mack truck) and had to endure a pathetic pity parable for a couple days until I told the nigger I don't care that you feel like shit and you should for the misery they cause people around them. Then I get told I'm a mean meanie pants (which I've never hid) and that I'll regret I ever had forsaken their "friendship,"

I'd curb stomp this waste of chromosomes if I didn't value my own life. Anyways, this has been my MATI Talk. This has been possible by forum viewers like you. Thank you.

I mean, do you want to socialize with every fuckin' moron under the sun?
