Grinding gears? Are the synchros worn out?

:rofl:
This is going on the menu! Chicken flavoured ice cream!

gear grinders, right.
The International Banking sector. tHey haven't learned a thing in the last eighteen months of global financial crisis.

The ammount of pocketlining that goes on in general. Befoer the internet it was like this of course, but at least I didn't have to read about it every other day in the paper.

The oil spill, and why they're still negotiating prices with Boskalis for the clean up (Boskalis has the hardware to clean it, so hire them!)

The World Cup. Christ I'll be glad when that's done with for another four years!!

Council housing here on the island. I have urgency clearence for a house, what's the damn hold up? And I know there are adequate houses around, I've seen 'em!!

Ubisoft, because I was really looking forward to playing settler 7

The crappy weather we're having -it's off by three to five degrees here!!!

that's just the top of my head grinding at work here, obviously there are other things unspeakable..

The salt never being in the kitchen it can usually be found in the living room.

Drum and bass (not hating on it as such, just that it's been played in my college almost non-stop for almost a week now and I feel like throwing who's ever iPod is playing out into the car park).

I just pulled a pack of drum sticks outta the freezer for to night..
there's thirteen in the pack :facepalm:

Bugs, I spent an hour and a half last night trying to kill a bug(this was at 4AM - 5:30AM) and I finally got the bug on the 4th try, I failed 3 times, but I got the son of a [censored] on the 4th time. I hate bugs.

I don't really have a problem with that...I don't share

My mother was on a waiting list for years. hell, since we actually bought a house in 1992, we might still be on it.

As many of you already know, I get pretty upset with anyone who uses a knife in my jam or jelly jar. Another thing that drives me a bit nutty is when someone puts a plate or bowl that still has a bit of food on it into my sink. :yuck:
And I don't really like it when folks pin labels on others or when they think their opinion is better or more right than the next persons opinion when it's all opinion and there is no proof.

Stickers, residue, writing or anything else on a game's label/box.

Greatest Hits branding on games. Sony's horrid green and red labels for PSX/PS2 games, Microsoft's platinum garbage, or http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4169/castoz1.png.

Maybe they shapeshifted and their hiding with the other critters.

I am a guitar player and it really grinds my gears when people listen to music and they skip the guitar solo.

When people go to Mcdonalds and get a Bic Mac with a diet pop & a large fry, Seriously the Diet pop isn't going to change anything!

When people complain that they are to fat when they aren't fat at all!

Okay, what really gets me is when you're about 15 minutes into uploading a video to youtube when your wireless cuts out for a few seconds and fubars the whole freaking upload :banghead:

Edit: Make that twice. It just happened to me again. [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored]

Edit: three in a row. May as well curb stomp me while I'm on the ground crying.

Grinds my Gears? Hmm, since most of the irritating things in my life involved driving, this is a good title.

1. People who drive 5 to 10 MPH under the Speed Limit, and I can't pass them
2. People who crawl up my butt when I am driving at or slightly above the speed limit. Makes me want to fart.
3. People who write checks at the store. I have to drive to the store, so this is included here
4. Parking lots that you can't get out of, or drive across because of the creative use of planters
5. People who go real slow, until you try to pass them, they speed up, then go slow again when you get behind them. I would say this is intentional, but I can see the driver is oblivious
6. When backing out of parking space, the lane behind gets filled with cars. Then as I wait for the 15th car to get situated, then I have to wait for all the people to trod by.
7. Fox News, no car reference, just that it's Fox News.
8. Ads on the Radio, and DJs who think they are a personality.
9 People who drive in my blind spot
10 People who text in cars. Well, Texting in general pisses me off.
11. People who stop before they make a Right Turn

I'm confused, what should one then use? :unsure:

Guilty. But I really only listen to my mp3 player in the car. So half guilty.

What really annoys me is when I'm playing a game (video or otherwise) and I take it easy on the other person, because I know their new to the game... Then they get arrogent (m.s.) and full of themselves... Then I have to go try-hard and obliterate them.

Other arrogent people... I'm arrogent when it comes to video games. So when there's another person like me, I get irritated Very quickly. (bad trait)

And I have to agree, when people don't use their turn signals... GRRRR!!! I live on a dirt road, and theres NEVER any other cars on it, but i still use my turn signal... good habit

Little kids playing M rated games, or watching R rated movies. I understand that's their parents thing, but honostly, when a 6 year old child is playing games like Gears of war, something is wrong. Or watching movies like The Terminator (original). I mean... wow... I tried counting how many curse words they had in that movie, but lost track... ok i didnt... but it sounded good right?

You need to use a Clean Spoon to serve out the Jam or Jelly that you want on to the bread or muffin or whatever designated landing area. Then you spread it with a Knife. Oh, and don't stir around the Jam or Jelly as you spoon it out.

I only know this because Summer has already informed me of her Jam and Jelly Procedures before and I promised to commit them to memory in case I ever found myself wandering around Alaska.

And, she knows that I dive fully into a Jam jar with a knife that is coated in crumbs from the previous application, and furiously stir up the fruit so that it is viscous and spreadable before I remove it from the Jar. I really don't treat my Jams and Jellies very nicely. Well, I did not know I was abusing them until Summer pointed out the flaws in my Preserved Fruit Delivery Proccess.

People who though cigarette butts out the windows of their cars. Particularly if they are still lit.



"Grinds my Gears" isn't really a cliche is it? It's kind of from a Family Guy episode as I recall?

Radio DJs that are so obviously 100% posers. I can't stand it when I used to listen to the heavy metal station and the one guy that came on was so obviously a poser. He tried to act like a dude that was in touch with Metal Music, and i could tell he wasn't.

I remember this station in Miami that used to be Album Rock. The station would actually play the entire side an album. The DJs all sounded like stoners, one in particular in the morning would have a sleepy voice like someone who crawled out of bed after a night of partying. He was all mellow and mostly just played music and talked very little. Well, they changed formats to become a Pop station and this DJ morphed into a typical POP style of DJ. Lost all respect for him.

This.

When people ask me what type of music I like and then assume I like Slipknot because I said I like metal.

What grinds my gears?

Metal elitists.

What's grind my gears?


Pulling up to a fast-food window only to have a 16 year old girl half-heatedly toss my food at me whilst texting on her T-Mobile sidekick her parents bought to cover up their own insecurities, considering her father just hit 40 and is suffering from his mid-life chrisis, and her mothers a convicted felon with a tax score of 214 who binge-drinks 5 out of 7 days of the week and sobs through re-runs of Full House, envious of the comedic and somehwat comfortable lifestyle the sitcom family lived.


When people talk so loudly I can't see my hand in front of my face...?


Today I went to the DMV to renew my licence, when some 251 lb guy sits beside me, pushes his glasses up his nose, and then engages me in a full head-on discussion about movies, books, and games. Most of which I either don't care about or forgot somewhere around 96'."I like the old school tv shoes, like Darkwing Duck and Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers."

Oh really? And you said you were how old, 31? Nice. Your 'grown-up' level failz guy... Stick to W.O.W. Pretty sure there are people on there who love ya. (Lvl 70 Hunter, yeaa!)

I should be laughing at that, but I actually have a similar situation with peanut butter. NO ONE PUTS THE FIRST KNIFE IN A NEW JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER BUT ME.

Those few times turn me mental. Robbed of the enjoyment of sinking that first knife into that smooth, creamy surface...
