Direct TV - I was a loyal customer for 4 years. I wanted to order an HDDVR. First appointment you cancel on me. Second appointment you don't show up. Third appointment you won't give me a time slot that is caters to me, the customer. Its YOUR window YOUR time. So, now I have to stay home from work to wait for YOU. So, I cancel because I am fed up with the crumby customer service and I switch to DishNetwork because they will cater to me. Guess what happens next? You call me everyday for a month BEGGING for me to come back. WHY? Why in the 4 years I was a loyal customer did you not care enough to call me up and offer me something? And now...all of a sudden I am not a customer anymore you won't leave me alone? Oh, and to top it off? When I was a customer you idiots would always send me your dumb coupons for a free movie a day before it expired. A DAY BEFORE IT EXPIRES!!!

Stupid impatient people who are tailgating you even though you are already doing 60 in a 40 only to whip around you and give you the finger. Only to get stuck at every frickin' traffic light that I do anyway. Yeah, guess what I got to the same exact super market that you are going to at the same freakin' time as you did and you just HAD to pass me. LOOK AT ME WHEN I WAVE TO YOU!!! IDIOT!!!

People who move next to an military base or a drag strip then complain that the cars flying down the 1/4 mile or the dudes blowing things up are bothering you. Guess what moron? YOU CHOSE TO LIVE THERE. It isn't like you moved there then they built those loud places. They were there well before you put your house there.

Man, I could go on all day long......:)

when people use references to comedy shows based on every day sayings and situations, then try to pass it of as original.

Moochers. People who are just too lazy to do anything and have everything done for them.

Little kids. Now not all little kids annoy me. But quite a few of them, probably the majority, make me want to strangle myself.

Girls with high voices. OMG I WANT TO STAB YOU!

When you have to repeat something that you said around 5 minutes ago. "I'm going to the zoo" "cool" *5 minutes later* "all right, well ill cya later." "wait where are you going? The zoo? When did you say you were going to the zoo?"

People who ruin something fun for other people. Example: We were watching a movie today in my history class about the Cold War. A bunch of the girls I sit next to wouldn't shut the [censored] up. So I don't know if we will get to finish it tomorrow or not because they can't be quiet!

People who don't know sayings, phrases, and figures of speech and automatically assume that some TV show they watch, or some guy on teh interwebz uses it, they "created" it. I don't require perfection, just pretend, if you must.

2 faced sons of guns. I hate that they can twist you into a relationship that they don't care for/disrespect when your not around.

Low and high self-esteem. Can we not mope around like we live in a pond of svck? And how is the weather up on that high horse you're on, Mr. or Mrs. Massive Ego...?

Blatantly obvious spelling errors. Typo's are one thing... not knowing how to spell a word constantly/consistently used is ANNOYING. They have spellcheck for a reason, edit it!

People who when they have a problem with you prefer to go spread [censored] about you instead of working it out or solving the problem with you. They do know it just makes me hate them more, right?

People who thrust their religion on me, or just talk about it slavishly around me, knowing I'm atheist.

Just being a [censored] in general.

Posers, for one are annoying. I live in NH, there is no ghetto... and there certainly isn't any "gang wars."

Posers part two. Fadboys, my take on the "fan-boy" concept. These are the bandwagoners of society. Has Pokemon become more popular lately at your school? Chances are there is a good pop. of pokeposers.

Not washing ones hair. Why? That is soooooooo easy, you have to be lazier to not do it... I mean, guys with sort hair its unacceptable. Shampoo and water, rinse and repeat.

-When my brand new computer can't go a month without getting some kind of error...

-When you go get your haircut and ask for something specifically, and die a little inside when they start doing it all wrong.

-When a certain company announces a new game and a certain forum is flooded with a certain type of annoying, illiterate internet user. Thank god they haven't found CD yet. :(

-When the school decides it'll be fun to switch all the teachers around, confusing everyone and affecting my grades massively.

-While we're talking about schools, when the school messes up and accidently sends an After-school detention/Isolation/Suspension Email to every. single. student. This has happened about five times now, The school had to apologise personally to my dad..

-Rain...

EDIT:

-People who spit on the floor when they're walking... why? It's gross!

-Heavy metal/Screamo/Rock metal/Death metal/Metal music in general and the associated norms. It all sounds the same to me, terrible.

-People who describe themselves as "Random".

Funny, I consider all knowledge of Pokemon to be somewhat less than superior when regarded to what's occuring on the world stage currently...
:P

Gear grinder of the week:
Gifts that come -usually from family- with strings of untold commitment attached.

"Why thank you Auntie Gertrude for this outragous kitch appliance that will barely fit on the counter and draws 1800 watts continuously.. yay me."
crap, this means visiting the old bat every sunday for the next eighteen months..







Anyone who may have wanted a slightly second hand, never before used kitchen appliance? Too bad, because I didn't accept it, HA!

1. Elevators that go fast. I work in the communication's and design department of a very tall building -- the elevator get's me to the 10th floor (where my department is) in 30 seconds if it doesnt stop at other floors. Today I felt drunk for half an hour after all the blood was drained from my brain.

2. The fact that if i see the word reebok from a distance on some ones clothing, I assume that facebook has launched a clothing range.

3. The fact that even though I have 20/20 vision, I still read words like "Reebok" as "facebook" from a distance.

4. People at work who dont clean out the milk cartons after its empty and just throw them in the bin. Yes, every one int he department loves the smell of stale milk, please dont worry about cleaning up after yourself :stare:

5. The fact that I never see the Mr. Bean look-a-like when we drive past him and some one points him out.

6. Busses.

7. The people who play music on the bus or in public with a total disregard of taste. I even saw an old man in a track suit listening to "scooter" on his phone the other day. Long live rochdale.




Car drivers who rev their engines as you are crossing the road in front of them
Car drivers who don't signal before a turn
Car drivers who don't realise that cars don't have right of way over pedestrians and cyclists in all circumstances
Actually just car drivers


All of this.
How do you divide up 7 drumsticks?

Just save the last one and pair it up with the spare from another pack.

Every single person who travels on four wheels.
Every single person who travels on 2 wheels without an engine.
Low flying birds.
People who seem to think that I have a reverse gear on my bike.
People who don't look one last time before pulling out at a junction.
People who drive in the centre of the country lanes.
White vans.
Pot holes.
Tailgaters.
The part of my commute that involves a blind corner, a manhole cover, dodgy road camber and a wide gutter.
The old lady on my road who made an official complaint that I went round a certain corner at well over 40 mph into our Cul de Sac; if I had done this I would probably be in a wheelchair right now and my neighbour would be a few bricks short of a wall.


And that concludes my transport based rant for today, stay tuned for more stereotypical road rage...

I wouldn't complain, you're part of the latest wave.


-While we're talking about schools, when the school messes up and accidently sends an After-school detention/Isolation/Suspension Email to every. single. student. This has happened about five times now, The school had to apologise personally to my dad..

Hmm, they do this at my uni. Actually I've been sending emails to a professor of medicine because he has the same name as a fellow student, took three months to work that out. :facepalm:



Also, trying to change up to 5th without stepping on the clutch grinds my gears.

four-way stops.
And unlike the shamrock more lanes does not add more luck.

There is a 4 way stop with 4 feeder lanes and 6 lanes to travel into.
So lets compound that
44 = about 256 ways to confuse things
46 = about 4096 ways to confuse things.
Thats 16 times the confusion, which was already pretty substantial.

And thats not even including pedestrians!

How do you divide up 7 drumsticks?


I'll tell you. Look at the bottom.

One per person?


Wrong answer.

Please stay away from turning this into an smoking debate.


For two people? 3 each and one for the dog. :)


Wrong answer.

3 each then share the last? There are numerous ways.


Wrong answer.

Toss a coin, rock scissors paper?


And once again, wrong answer.

The actual answer, is one for each day of the week! :P

I've decided to show how totally cool and non-conformist I am by making a statement:

What grinds my gears? Life.

God, I'm so cool...

/sarcasm. Emo/Goths, whatever you want to call them, annoy me.

And when there is nothing good on TV.

Oh, and that Donkey_Cavity guy. He really grinds my gears :P


They really do grind my gears. They wanna be punk, but punks don't cut themselves so they can "feel" something. And punk isn't a fashion statement either, like most Goth/Emo kids think. It's a mindset is all, just like Liberal or Dem or Repub, etc.

Alos what grinds my gears, is those people who talk on cell phones while driving, and can't keep to a damn decent speed limit! It's always too fast or too slow. Never right on the damn money speed!

I also hate: Teens who try acting 'Pimp' or claim 'Pimpness' (probably an LA thing, but it happens.) Teens who try acting rebellious and just end up looking stupid in front me and their dumb friends. And there's a lot more, but I'd type my fingers to the bone writing it all.
