What Grinds Your Gears Reloaded...Again

[Ravens1991]

Its the way some people say it that piss me off. If someone said for example "he just isnt a NFL quality QB" I wouldnt mind. But trying to say a guy like Ray Lewis is a loser for being over a regular season game in 2007 is obsurd no reason to call guys who have busted there ass losers because they are over a defeat when he hasnt done anything athletic in his life.

The district I work in has the shittiest servers, I swear. There are ALWAYS problems with our internet. Honestly, how ******* hard is it to hire people that know what the **** they are doing? It's not rocket science, and someone is getting paid more than me to do a ****** ass job.

A few of my coworkers crying over Whitney's death and somehow implying i'm being blasphemous for not caring one bit.

[Ngatachance92]

When people think because they made a mistake and brought a kid into the world that that makes them a better person... Thanks for contributing to the over population problem and creating another being to consume my resources asshole.

they were crying? did they know her personally? do they think she contributed anything to society? i'm actually curious what goes through these people's heads.

try flying on an airplane every week. these people think that because they were somehow, against all odds, able to procreate (i mean, i know it's a unique ability in the human species), that i should give in to anything and everything they ask for. the seat i booked? their kid wants it. the alcohol i just bought? how could i drink that while i'm their child?! blech.

Try being in Indiana during Dale Earnhardt's death. People were straight up bawling on the street.

Yea, tears actually flowed. Kept saying how when one of my idols dies I'll cry as well. I said no, because, I've never met them and they don't know I even exist or care about me.

[Ngatachance92]

That **** just gets to me. Why should I be inconvenienced at all or be expected to bend over backwards for your kid? That kid does not give you a license to be an inconsiderate douche, you may think it does but the world doesn't revolve around your kid just your world does.

Our society cares way too much about celebrities, ****... She gave us anything of any value already anyway. It's mostly just idiots "grieving" though, when moments like that happen it teaches you a lot about that person going forward.

Seriously. Only time I ever cried over a death was my grandma's and it wasn't until like 3 days after the burial. But you know, she kind of raised me and shared a house with me for 16 years...only...she didn't go platinum or anything.

People I work with that open up excel, and then go File - Open in order to open up a saved file. Every time.

And on top of that, when I say I saved this document on a certain drive, they assume it's in excel and try to open it through excel. When they can't find it, they tell me it's not there. So I freak out that someone moved/deleted it, open the drive and it's sitting right in front of me.

******* learn to computer people, it's not that hard.

Also, kind of similar, but when a system is upgraded, and people see it's different and automatically complain that they don't have access to do things they could before or that the system took away the ability to do things. No, you're just too lazy or stupid to take 5 minutes to play around with the new system to figure things out. And then I have to take 30 mins explaining to you how I found out how to do it in 2 minutes, and you still can't figure it out.

All people everyone do that. "It's different! I hate it!"

We (my company) recently changed our international website to make it look like our US site (which is a hell of a lot better) but took an assload of calls for the next week from all of these foreign people complaining about it. The new site had far more info in a cleaner, crisper set up but nooooooooo...it was a change and people HATE change.

Oh, I figure it's like that all over. And not to be an age-ist because CJ is the ish, but it's usually middle-aged/old people that hate the change. Look, I know being the younger generation and having grown up all around computers makes me more accustomed to using/figuring things out on one. But to just not even try or act like somehow this upgrade/change purposely got rid of a feature just to make things harder on 99% of users is really annoying. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out the basics of this system I had no previous knowledge of, and about 10 of those minutes was waiting while the internet was acting up.

On top of that, we work with about 20 different banks, so when a bank changes their online system, people ***** to us saying they don't have this or that, or we can't do this anymore. And while we're a good size company and growing really fast, we are nowhere near the size of like Coke or Sony or what have you, our employees expect us to call our guy at the bank and demand they redo their system to fit our needs. It's ridiculous.

I'll tell you what the opposite of grinding my gears (greasing my gears?) is: my boss telling me to leave at 2 because there's nothing to do. Get to go home to play with my pup outside in this beautiful weather + not having to listen to stupidity at least for another 18 hours = success.

right.

See this is why society has gotten soft, I should be allowed to punish my kid if he acts up. By that I mean slap him. I grew up under the hand, I turned out fine, a little slap here and there can't hurt. All these people now and their i don't think you should do that to the child, i'm calling child services, blech.
