What Really Grinds Your Gears?

You know what really grinds my gears? I have an ever-expanding list.

1. Teachers (Or simply people in general) staring over your shoulder
2. My sisters when they get really annoying
3. People who go on and on and on and drag a joke out until it's not funny anymore
4. That sound of styrofoam grinding on stuff
5. Trying to find an answer that's right in front of you and not being able to see it

But enough about me. What really grinds YOUR gears?

1. Small children, especially babies. They're so frakking annoying. Especially when they cry and scream because things didnt go their way, like if they dont get those cornflakes they want.
2. Long loading screens. It's flowbreaking, completely eradicates any traces of immersion and is just plain annoying.
3. When you have something to do, like homework, but always end up going on the chatbox or playing a round of [insert game here]. I know it has a name ,but i cant remember it...
4. When i cant remember what something is called. Especially annoying when you're using 3 languages daily. Like me.

Small children, especially babies. They're so frakking annoying. Especially when they cry and scream because things didnt go their way, like if they dont get those cornflakes they want.

EXACTLY! I hate that sooooo much! Unfortunately I have to put up with it with my younger stepsister every day and it makes me wanna...I dunno...do this!



Unfortunately I cant do that because it'll cut my limited computer time.

i hate hypocrites and close minded people.

(that equals the whole human race BTW)

Wouldnt that make you a close minded hypocrite? Or are you some kind of alien visitor?

nope, I'm a close minded hypocrite because calling myself open minded would be hypocritical, so either way, I'm screwed I would like to think I'm more open minded than most people, at least around here, but I'm still extremely close minded in the grand scheme of things

You dont even know any of us in real life... You cant say you're more open minded than someone you barely know.

if perhaps you would read my post....

By around here, I mean physically around here, as in the Annapolis Valley NS

and you don't have to meet someone in real life to know whether or not they're more open or close minded. After you talk with people for 1-2 years, they say what they believe, and if it's consistent, it furthers the evidence. You for example are prone to closing down a situation and not even trying due to "realism" and are willing to ignore the fact that there is a small chance to do things. And I'm not just refering to my mini series. You like to hide by playing video games. I like to hide by doing grand projects and not finishing them, and I try to hide from real people due to my distaste, and fear that I may dislike them even more if I hang around with them. And more importantly, I try to hide from myself

Huh... That's surprisingly accurate. But the gaming part is common knowledge, and i bet you still dont know nearly as much as someone i've known for a year in real life would.

well, i don't know all your daily habits, when you brush your teeth and whatnot, but that's irrelevant. But there are some people, what you would consider my "closest friends" if you will, who knew me for literally years, and didn't know I was Christian or religious at all for that matter. Something so simple that everyone here knows from like day 1, people in real life didn't

perhaps it's the way you present yourself, if a muslim walked around in a jubah and tohpee you'd know hes muslim or arab (or terrorist if your paranoid) same way someone might say, oh ya wanna go for a movie on sunday or something and then you say sorry gotta go to church know whatta mean? If you've never mentioned to them that you don't do anything religious i don't think they'd be a close friend would they? or is that just me?

No one on the forum would have figured out your religious until either: 1) Looking at some of the religious debates you have with people 2) You said something.. other than that, I wouldn't have picked up on the religious part unless you said something directly related to one religion or another.. No one would have guessed I was Wiccan either, so =/ It's all a matter of perspective..

Anyways, on to the part of the actual topic..
1) People that don't know what they are talking about.
2) ..... Girls that act very..... slutty to get their way.
3) Thingy... <.< sometimes...

fair enough... um what's a wiccan?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca
There... ^^ it will explain it to you

modern witchcraft... the idea of magic being a science is quite interesting, although i can't say ive ever heard the of wicca (no offense)

The only way I know of wiccans is from that Scooby-Doo movie.

Another thing that grinds my gears is people doing this:

Kid: Mom, can you buy me a 1500 dollar laptop for Christmas?
Mom: Sure.

Christmastime..

Kid: Where's my laptop?
Mom: I didnt buy you one. Im not wasting 1500 dollars.

XD! That's great!! heeheehee.... That's what the kid gets for asking for an insane gift... go for something more... easier to get... like ME2.. :3

Says the one who hated mass effect 2 and the entire franchise with a passion not so long ago...


@Terra Awww... 3rd place? I feel unappreciated...

it grows on you.... >_>

(So what do you guys (or girls) think of me?)

What gets me grinding my gears (or teeth)
1. My Father nagging me to clean my room

That's about all.

wow, go to sleep and this thread goes from being like 4 posts long, to 2 pages long!

Actually, our little discussion is what made this thread so long.

oh, maybe I'll read the whole thread sometime then

1. Closed minded people. (and the willfully ignorant)

2. Screaming children. (that includes little kids who talk loud, or ask questions during movies. :cough: My little sister. :cough:)

3. Technological illiteracy. Come on people, it's the 21 century! Learn to use the freaking internet!

Uneducated people
closed minded people
that guy named rick

hey, Ricky's really cool, well, the one i know is

Canadians who can't think outside of their village

ever hear of donair sauce shem?

What's donair sauce?

Do you mean Donner sauce?

no, i mean donair sauce. It's just I heard a rumour that it's only in Canada, and so I'm seeing if that's true

I'm guessing yes, then.

i have no idea what donner sauce is, if i have time, I'll google it

I don't know either, only perhaps something that goes on donner kebabs.

donner kebabs? why am i so ignorant all of a sudden?

What grinds my gears...

1. My annoying brat of a sister.
2. The fact that my mother spoils this annoying brat of a sister.
3. A kid I know who is 13 but acts like he is five
4. Glen Beck (Plz don't start a political argument!)
5.Oh, yeah, my mother

i think, if your mother has raised you then you shouldn't be annoyed at her, parents go through a lot to raise kids, the only ones i hate are the ones that dump abuse their kids for good reason and thankfully my parents aren't like that

Well, I think you would have to know her. I do appreciate her.

fair enough, let it never be said that is a person that never pissed me off evens lightly

Oh look, you're a cuddly bunny rabbit!

I just want to squeeze you to death!

Um...... Oh yeah.... We all appreciate our mothers. Still, I often feel that I can't stand living another day in this house.

I just want to get out on my own, and live my life the way I want to live it all of the time.

Anyone else sympathize?

it's a teenager thing DJ. It's the coming of age time, that's all. It's natural.

I figured that.....

Still, it's a very interesting feeling.

Have you ever been tempted to get off of the island? Or do you fear the creatures of the forbidden forest?

I fear neither. Then again, I'm...
NVM.

I HATE PEOPLE THAT TYPE IN CAPS LOCKS REALLY IT IS ANNOYING


Anyway, i also hate people ThAt TyPe LiKe ThIs, AnOyInG HuH?

I also hate people that leave people out of things, oh yah, just so you all know, none of you can play my new star trek RPG (JK)

I hate,hate,hate is when people repeat themselves, repeat I hate,hate,hate is when people repeat themselves

Well, you must hate yourself then..
Another few from me:
People talking in text talk (Ex: Girl 1: O M G)
People talking on the phone/texting while driving..
People that don't think of their child's safety above their own..

I saw a news on a mother carrying a child while riding on a motorcycle with her husband.
