You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

How about those guys that pull up to the pump at a gas station, get out, go inside, and leave their obnoxious music blaring with the doors open.

That's willful assholishness, since it's not like they can really hear it all that well inside the store.

The "meat is murder" folks. After that porterhouse I had tonight there is no one that can convince me cows aren't meant for eating.

If god didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

You know, I might add in here that people are also made out of meat.

Good point but humans generally draw a separate distinction between consuming meat and cannibalism. Some even seem shocked when it occurs in nature amongst species that are not are own.

People who own jewelry that costs over $1,000-2,000. Who wants to wear something on your wrist that cost as much as a used car, your almost asking for it to be stolen.

Regarding loud stereos. I think there's a difference between liking a song and listening to it loud and just being a complete douchebag with a "look at me, look at me" complex.

Heh heh, reminds me of a story my dad told me one day when he got home from work. He said, "So I pull up to fill up and these two young guys show up. One of them gets out and goes the pay for the gas. The other one is listening to this loud as music with the rap guy saying 'mother f*cker, mother f*cker, mother f*cker, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck" and he's just sitting there listening to it!"

Jewelery is one of the top 5 money pits IMHO.

If that lady at K-mart asks me if I would like to join their rewards program...one...more...time

I already put up with all the senior citizens putzing around in the parking lot at 2 mph, now you gotta start on me with the rewards program?

People who add their two cents in for someone else. For example, if you use a coworker's pen and they don't seem to mind. YET, someone else will speak up and say, "why don't you get your own pen". Its one thing jumping in for someone getting bullied but its another thing to be a douchebag about nothing major to look cool.

I hate it when i am sweeping the parking lot at work, and people see me doing this, and STILL throw stuff on the ground. That pales however, to my feelings on people who pour entire bags of pistacio or sunflower seed shells on the ground.

How about ashtrays?

ImaginaryFoot · February 03, 2011, 12:54:21 AM

Yeah, those suck too

Olivia Bauer · February 03, 2011, 08:55:22 AM

Three simple words....

I hate trolls.

Internet trolls I mean. Why do they waste our time with their outrageous comments? Do they GET OFF to our anger? Do they really have nothing better to do with their life then post on the internet how much they HATE good things?

Yes.

The Gravekeeper · February 03, 2011, 09:49:37 AM

Yup. Hence why ignoring them is the best strategy.

I do find it amusing how they think that they're anonymous online. Do enough digging and a little hacking, and you can find just about anyone's identity.

Good point. I hate trolls, but you gotta place some of the blame on the people who respond to it too.

Bullying. Its been around forever and I doubt it will ever end. I'm sick of a bunch of lame f*cks picking on one person who just wants to be left alone.

Bullying is the dark side of the "it takes a village" concept. It's also one of the reasons I don't agree with that concept.
