What Grinds Your Gears?

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 11:47 am

- Modern gaming.
- Idiots.
- Movie trailers.
- Racism and generally prejudiced people.
- The controls of the Resident Evil games.
- Saturday nights on advlt Swim.
- The fact that George Lopez is still running every night on Nick At Nite.
- Loose socks.
- Bosses being easier than the regular enemies in most games. Also, final bosses being easy.
- Grinding in RPGs.
- To add to the last one, hiding a secret boss deep within an extremely tedious dungeon with a puzzle that takes hours upon hours to complete, all while fighting enemies that are harder than the inevitable fight with the "uber secret boss".
- Level scaling.
- People who take online shooters too seriously, and seem to think that their K:D ratio is directly proportionate to the size of their genitalia.
- My dad.

I believe he was thanking me for my explanation of teabagging


Although your explanation was apt; I think it is only fair to add why it's called teabagging. You know how when you're making tea, you dunk the teabag in and out of the boiling water? Well it's that, but in human terms.

The 'bag' is the well... for lack of a more appropriate word; ballsack. And the 'boiling water' is the dead victims mouth.

It's pretty sick actually. And I don't mean sick as in cool.

Console wars.
Religious people talking about "god" and jesus all the time.
People blaming me of something I never did.
People who think Heavy Metal is "evil".
People who never tell the truth.
People calling me a hillbilly ("maalaisjuntti" or "maajussi" in Finnish).
Rappers. I hate them. Every time I see one, I want to punch them in the face as hard as I can.

Wanna know what else grinds my gears? Haters. Not my haters in particular; (as they are non-existant :P) but haters in general.

There are people out there that hate certain things with a passion (we all do) but some people hate things for no real reason; or just because it's "cool" to hate it. Things like Justin Bieber, Twilight, etc.. To me; those folks are just as annoying as the lovers.. I mean; how do they effect your life anyway? Has anyone ever come up to you and said; "Hey you svck, because Twilight exists!"

Unless Stephenie Meyer is on this forum; Im expecting an all-round no.

Im not a Justin Bieber fan exactly, but the guys successful, you can't deny that. Did he exploit you for his success? No. Then why are you pissed at him? If you hate his work; follow this simple advice.. Don't listen to it! That's what I do, and Im perfectly happy. :D

(Well not perfectly happy. If I was perfectly happy I wouldn't be posting in this thread, now would I? Rather, I am mildly satisfied with my current situation.)

:P

If I didn't have to listen to him then I wouldn't complain about him. But between my sisters playing him full blast and the jukebox college playing him constantly it wears you down.
As a side not on this- My sisters can play music as loud as they want but the second I put my music on it's too loud.

What Grind my gears is
Racists
Small Children in general
People calling me a geek then proceeding to talk about FIFA or COD for an hour. :facepalm:
People who don't try to spell. Especially when they take A-level english. :swear:

Have you ever played Call Of Duty or Call Of Duty 2? In my opinion those are some great shooters.

Right you are.

What grinds my gears?
People who create countless, pointless threads, those who whine, flame, troll and complain in the Skyrim Forums.
Arrogant people who look down on you.
Grammar Nazi's whom scream at those, though they know English was not their first language.
Little kids crying and having tantrums.
Racist.
sixist.

Well if it's being forced upon someone, it is affecting them so they have a reason to hate. :P

But Im sure you don't go out in public and preach that "Just Bieber is evil!" or anything like that. Some people literally obsess over it.

I had to really think....the only real thing lately that really makes me angry are the *dudes* in my neighborhood who have 1200 watt subwoofers in their vehicles and think that everybody else must actually enjoy hearing and feeling it....I know they don't care one way or the other, but I'd like to stuff sardines in their exhaust pipe in the middle of the night......


Mine is only 1000 watts and I'm not a dude, please, spare me the sardines!

What grinds my gears is my family. They basically disagree with my existence. Now, I'm not saying they dislike me, and I have a good life, but they frown upon everything I do. I get mocked and insulted for gaming, mocked and insulted for my sounds in my ute, mocked and insulted for wanting more piercings, mocked and insulted for my hair colour, mocked and insulted for wanting a tattoo, I get mocked and insulted for being unfit, for not having a full-time job, for wanting to teach my bird to wolf-whistle, for texting, for not having many friends which is my choice, for wanting to build a gaming Pc....basically if I do it, I get mocked and insulted for it. That really grinds my gears.

And then in no particular order
Libraries missing the middle of a series.
Dial-up.
The cat.
Everyone on the road.
And the stupid questions people ask me about being vegetarian!! At work, I got asked what I eat and if I eat chicken and fish. To my amazement a young workmate turned around and said, "she don't eat meat! No chicken, no fish! She can eat anything else that hasn't got meat in it!" This is the first time in my life something like that happened, I was so grateful to her.

Ok, I will tell you what grinds MY gears.

The whole idea that Disney World is supposed to be a wonderful, magical place that every kid dreams of going to.

HORSE [censored]!!

If you like waiting in long lines, in weather that is as hot as the hottest of summers up north (during early spring), with constant noise, and where it's easy to get lost, then good for you. I went there when I was 9 and hated it. I don't care if the laws of the universe dictate that a 9-year-old is supposed to love places like that. I didn't. And some people even think that I must be some spoiled ingrate just because "Oh, I would have done ANYTHING to go there when I was that age, but my parents couldn't afford it" and yada yada. Those people need to shut the [censored] up.

<3 <3 <3 What grinds my gears is that people think Disney World or other theme park attractions are the only places in Florida worth seeing.
I went to DIsney World once a a teen, it's pointless. Epcot was fun, though, at the time it was the newest addition. I wouldn't go now.
My kids have never been taken, and we live in Florida. I don't buy into Disney's particular brand of saccharine happiness, either. As for local economies, lots of low to mid wage service/tourist industry jobs for the Orlando area. The urban sprawl is so bad in Orlando you can see it from space. The ecological ramifications include loss of wildlife habitat, reduced and polluted water table from draining low lying, aquifer recharging areas, and light and noise pollution.

If you ever do come to Florida, and want to have fun, check out our beaches. North and West Florida have lovely beaches. We have hundreds of parks, nature trails, places where you can go offshore fishing, diving, sailboarding, waterskiing, airboating, surfing svcks but, you can kayak or canoe in creeks and streams. In protected areas, you can see land and marine wildlife. We have campgrounds, places to hunt, zoos, aquariums, caves for underwater diving, and even a cave of our own open to tourists in Mariana. We have historical places to visit, museums, the oldest European settlement still in exisitence ,(St Augustine) where you can tour the city's fort (Castillo de San Marco) and watch the cannons fire. The city itself is one big tourist fest. There are many other forts, trails, war memorials dating back from the conquest of the new world by battling europeans, to the Civil War.
We have culinary and art, festivals boat and airshows, Cape Canaveral gives visitors a look the space industry, we have oddities and eccentricites like ghost tours, fantasticly weird houses and gardens, and eco-experimental communities.
Florida is so much more than Disney World, Epcot, Universal Studios, Seaworld, and Busch Gardens.

People playing objective games e.g CTF like it was TDM, instead of ruining my game, play TDM, I am playing CTF because I dont want a TDM playstyle, why dopeople join objective games and just see who kills eachoeht the most. I was the only one getting the damn objective.

Bungies "you leave you get a remp ban" system in reach.
If I get lag, or others quit, I shouldnt have to stay. And then you have that betrayal boot aswell, play infection and you will end up with a betrayal, and maybe booted. Stupid game, good intentions, but bad execution.

This society I live in. Today some idiot told me I was in denial because I didn't accept his religion. What right does he have to insult me and my beliefs like that? And it's not only the ignorance. The laws in this country make no sense! Women are forced into wearing full body coverings, women aren't allowed to drive, homo/bisixuals are fined/lashed/deported/beheaded, certain religions such as Judaism are illegal, and the list just goes on. Why impose your beliefs on everybody else and murder them if they're different?

Sorry if this is too political/religious.
