What Grinds Your Gears Reloaded...Again - Page 85

i prefer to imagine you repeatedly punching the closed window, wondering why it won't work.

I don't like it when I am 3rd in line at a stop light that is turning left. One car always takes one lane and the 2nd car in line always takes the other lane no matter what. Then they both go 5 under the speed limit and block me from passing. It happens all the time. They never choose the same lane.

Obviously you hate hashtags. Anything that more than 10 people in the world do you hate.

it's not even that. it's that the people using them don't know why they're using them. it's like a cute joke. like, 'tee hee, i'm so hip! i've seen a tweet!' then they has **** like #njx9 as if anyone would reasonably ever need to sort/search by 'njx9'. i think, more reasonably than saying, 'i hate **** a lot of people do' is 'i hate **** idiots do.'

(acknolwedging full well that hash tags can be extremely useful in some cases. joe schmoe's twitter/facebook feed aren't those cases)

Don't get me wrong, I agree, I hate lame uses of hashtags as much as you do. I see annoying bitches doing it all the time thinking they are funny. I was just remarking on your anti-popculture tendencies.

SuperMcGee · 06-04-2011, 06:24 PM

They do know why they're using them. And it is exactly as a cute joke. Such usage is certainly the majority for twitter users, who are "joe schmos", so you're probably better off just letting live and hoping they're not too lame. Nothing is useful about an average person's twitter, so I don't see reason to get upset about the inner details of pointlessness.

not getting pissed about meaningless bs would so not fit in with my personality, though.

Read that over again. I believe you just repeated yourself.

I will second this one. Really, I wonder how teachers pass their students in 4th grade.

CJSchneider · 06-04-2011, 08:21 PM

Group assignments without a device to ensure equity of work are pointless.

Scenes in movies that are so dark you can't see what the hell is going on.

What's worse is when the music is a lot louder than the actor's voices in the movie so you have to constantly adjust the volume on the tv.

Bosanac01 · 06-06-2011, 01:11 AM

Group assignments ******* suck. There are always lazy people who don't give a ****.

CJSchneider · 06-06-2011, 06:08 AM

A lack of football grinds my gears.

One overly "sensitive" annoying poster on these forums. Who flies off the handle at the slightest criticism. They come off looking like a 12 year old who gets to play on their parents computer.

That is all.

DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!

jayceheathman · 06-09-2011, 04:09 AM

One thing that is annoying is that at the end of my neighborhood there used to be two options and one would be to turn right and the other would be to turn left at the stop light. They extended the street so you can now go straight. They have 3 lanes and one of them is the left turning lane. Now there is always someone that gets in the far right lane to go straight and blocks everyone that wants to turn. There was no one in the lane to the left of this guy but he still stayed in the right lane to go straight and there was a line of about 12 cars waiting behind him to all turn right. The light is not quick either. You will be waiting a good amount of time for the light to turn green.

Hahah who?

SuperMcGee · 06-11-2011, 01:44 PM

Hate when people say "-insert a most likely uninteresting activity/occurrence-, no big deal."

It's not. It's not a big deal, and I find your tone annoying.

Bosanac01 · 06-11-2011, 05:42 PM

I hate when you have no idea if someone is in a restroom or not, but you don't wanna knock or anything, don't know what to do.

Why dont you want to knock? I find it more awkward when someone keeps trying to open the door while it's locked and just figure the door is jammed instead. They will try for awhile before giving up.

i find it far more awkward when they didn't bother sliding the locking thing on a porta-potty and then they get pissed because you opened it. things shouldn't be this hard.

Jamaal-Football · 06-12-2011, 01:51 PM

Speaking of restrooms..

What the hell is the point of having a restroom stall open out of the stall? If the padlock breaks (as is common with public RRs), the door will swing open on it's own, and you can't even hold it back. If it's the kind you push in, at least you have a last ditch chance to push it closed if someone would knock. Same with the door. Restroom doors should ALWAYS open out, so you can kick that ***** open after you've washed your hands instead of having to touch the handle again.

I would rather have the stall door open out instead of in. I hate it when you nearly have to lean next to the toilet just to get enough room to squeeze out. At least it's like that in smaller stalls.
