What grinds your gears?

[Budweiserbob!]

Ok people, tell me what grinds your gears. What things annoy you about life? They can be general daily annoyances to borderline O.C.D issues.

For me, it's starting and listening to a song halfway through. For instance, I usually listen to a CD in my car and whenever I listen to it, it usually starts from the point where I switched the car off which is usually halfway through a song. I can't sit there and listen to it, I have to start it from the beginning.

On a similar note, I hate it when people change songs halfway through another song. One of my cousins is like that. A few weeks ago, her car broke down and while it was being repaired, I offered her lifts to work ( we live and work near one another). I let her briing a mix CD that she made because we have similar tastes in music... and whenever she picks a song, she'll listen to it and then change it after the first chorus... that just annoys me. =/

Anyway, what grinds your gears?

Not finding a job. I had an interview a few days ago but I know deep in my heart that they chose someone because they were a "friend" of someone inside. This grinds my gears more than anything because everyone should have an equal chance to getting a job.

When a woman walks by me and starts taking her shoes off. I hate it. Gosh I HATE IT SO MUCH. I despise it so much that I have to record it.

And when people come and ask me, "Hey Journia, do you like her?" It's none of your business!

A lot bothers me, but since you started the subject with songs I'll begin there. I hate when they start to play a great song on the radio, but the dj continues to yak thru the opening melody all the way up the the first line of lyrics. That totally ruins the song for me, since the opening is usually one of the best parts. Yes, I know, get an Ipod. There is still no reason to mess with a good song.

People. People in general grind my gears. Individually, people are intelligent creatures, but in large groups, man is a relatively stupid animal. And I have a very low tolerance for blatant stupidity.

 

[Hootus1]

In the music realm, I hate when a dj overtalks the end of the song and starts blabbing about some sale or promotion.

 

[AiritheDestoyer]

i hate people who don't have kids but think they know what's best for my siblings and i when they couldn't possibly know a damn thing about raising a kid in the first place. that's what grinds my gears

 

[melanie2]

I hate people assuming they know me when they don't know jack shit..

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

I hate it when people just ignore their own humanity and give in to vanity, ignorance, and evil. Take what just happened in N.Y. City...a homeless guy was stabbed and died on the street while people just WALKED BY HIM. Someone could have at LEAST CALLED 911 and led them to the guy!

You know what really grinds my gears?!
- Cyclists who ride side by side-why can't they cycle in single file.Grrrh.
- Farmers who choose rush hour to go out in their tractors.
- People who drive way under the speed limit...like 40mph in a 60/70pm zone. Especially when you are in a hurry to get somewhere.lol.

😵 Srsly? I've never heard that happen.

Aaaand as for what annoys me....people.....well not people....but only certain traits/habits that they possess.

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

When did this happen? god..

It was on the news this morning so I'm assuming recently. A neighborhood video camera recorded everything. People just waked by and one person even took a picture of him with a cell phone and another person just poked him but both left and never called the police.

 

[Firedemon]

Hahahaaa!!! I know this!!! Family Guy!!!!

"Another thing that grinds my gears is when I can't find the droids I'm looking for!'

Cakewalk "Music Creator 4"


It's supposed to be a music recording program- that's what it says on the box. It does nothing of the kind. This does more than just "grind my gears" I hate it with a dark, inhuman, infinite hatred that most non-musicians can't imagine because it murdered my dreams.

I've posted before how I can't record digitally; this "cakewalk" program wasn't just the final nail in the coffin of my musical dreams, it's an entire sealed concrete Vault built around the coffin to prevent my music from EVER seeing the light of day.

It's the final stake pounded into my musical heart. My dream is dead because I can never hope to record my music, and the company that made this program bears the lion's-share of blame for it. I try never to miss an opportunity to proclaim my hatred upon the rooftops.....

(BTW this would be pretty funny if I were exaggerating, but I'm not. My dream really is dead, and I really do hate this thing that much for killing it)

It's something that shouldn't annoy me but it does..it annoys me when people speak a different language in America.Not tourists but,for example,when you are getting your nails done at a salon and they are pretty much ignoring you,talking to each other in their language.

I'm not an overly aggressive driver or anything, but I hate it when someone gets out in front of me, piddling along, and then speeds up just enough to make it through an intersection at the yellow light, leaving me stranded at the red.

Augh, I love doing that to people! On video games.

In real life, it's just bull shit.

Can I get an amen?

Here is the story: http://content.usatoday.com/communi...g-man-credited-with-stopping-an-nyc-mugging/1

The guy had tried to help a woman who was being attacked, but when the mugger turned on him, he was left on the street; he was dead by the time someone finally called paramedics.

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

That's terrible!Now you know,it wouldn't have hurt someone to take 5-10mins out of their day to help that poor guy!

 

[Frost King]

I hate when people judge you and think they are better then you and people who act like assholes and just aren't nice at all

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

Learn their language.

If I can't even learn French I highly doubt I will learn whatever the heck they are speaking,it's probably Vietnamese or Chinese.Whatever,I don't know.

You are your own blockage.
