You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

The whole linking of accounts thing.
I don't want to have my accounts linked, it doesn't seem safe.

Same.

Awww but Doggett, you are ruining their opportunity to see you as #02935187. 

However, I do agree with you.  I don't want things being all connected.  I like the feeling of some privacy and anonymity.

You know what burns? The HS principal at my school yesterday told us not to eat lunch outside and gave us no reason! Dammit, It'll make us want to go outside because the guy is damn lazy not to tell us why. (PS the reason is that there are currently two coyotes loose near my school! )

I really f***ing hate preps. I hate just about everything about them:

1) They have egos the size of Mount Everest.
2) They're incredibly judgemental towards anyone who doesn't dress or act like them.
3) They're beyond what one would normally call spoiled brats.
4) Their attitudes towards music or movies that are not new or popular drives me insane.
5) They have no real reason to exist other than to cruelly judge people and be full of themselves.

I hate to sound like an a-hole, but with my past negative experiences with them, I believe these scumbags need to be exterminated.

Probably because he didn't want a ton of kids freaking out or getting all excited, going apes**t and leaving a stack of food everywhere to feed the damn things!    Coyotes have no place in an establishment for education my dear boy.

But cougars are okay, especially if they're hot.

Road construction!  They took the perfectly good main thoroughfare that goes through my town and are in the process of enlarging it, which shall take several years.  In the meantime, slowdowns, alternate routes, and newly closing lanes every week are driving me to distraction!

I don't think you quite got the cut of his jib there.

Online trophies/achievements in video games.  In theory they could be okay, even fun and challenging, but it's like the developers don't put any thought into them at all.  I'm playing this racing game where you get a trophy for winning an online driver's duel - an 8 round elimination tournament which would require about 30 competitors to complete.  Trouble is there's only about 20 people playing the game online (two weeks after launch) and their's no "racing" involved, everyone treats it as a demolition derby. 

If the developers had put, I dunno, a whole two minutes worth of thought into it, they could have anticipated that there are far too many a-holes online to have such a tournament work.

Or at least put something in place to deter the idiots. They're probably so focused on getting participation that they don't want to kick anyone out or make it difficult for anyone to play, even if that would make for better gameplay and probably more people in the long run - people who care enough to play the game right, and jump through a couple of hoops to do so.
