I bought a pack of chicken drumsticks from the super market today. It came with 7. 7 is a prime number, who is the retard who came up with that packaging system?

I was on the bus yesterday, and there was a rotund teenage girl sitting behind me. She had an MP3 player with a speaker on it. Not only was she blaring out crappy RnB music, but she skipped tracks ten to 15 seconds into each song. What gives? Do you hate every song on your mp3 player?

When I was walking my dog the other day, I saw a lady carrying a british bulldog in a bag. When I asked about it she said he was too unfit to walk by himself.
No [censored], I wonder why?

I had a call from an ISP asking if I wanted to change to them, they asked me what I was on, and I told them. I also told them I had a 200 early disconnection fee. They then offered me a plan with a cap, with a 10% increase in speed, for almost twice the price, and before I could reply they asked "shall I go ahead and sign you up?". Hmm, I wonder, should I do it?

People reciting cliched expressions like "grinds my gears" really grinds my gears.

Oh no, the annoyance is getting meta.

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

But... but... that's so fun to do!

When a clerk is having trouble with simple math, and it's not even my turn yet.

When people try to convince me taking up religion is the best thing I could possibly do.

When obnoxious morons violently invade my life.

'Baby On Board' signs in the back windows of cars. Oh they have a baby in the car, I'd better abort my plans to ram their car off the road. Wouldn't want to hurt the baby!

Shop assistants who ask me if I need any help the moment I walk in the door. No thanks, I'm perfectly capable of strolling around and looking at clothes. If I suddenly lose the ability to do this I will call an ambulance and not a shop assistant.

People in public areas who conduct loud conversations on their mobile phones, thinking that it makes them look important. No, it makes you look like something I'm not allowed to say on this forum.

People who phone you to ask if you got their email. Why couldn't you have just rung me in the first place?

glitches in websites. Like on facebook for example posting something youll get a message saying "oops something went wrong" and you have to copy and paste it once you go on to your profile page. Just things like that annoy me. They waste time.

What the op says about mp3 players is true its annoying when they are too loud. I don't mind if its just a quiet beat but so loud i can hear the lyrics? thats annoying.

The bank. Nothing is simple, everything is so complicated and takes a long time.

People who are nasty to other people about smoking. Just the attitude towards smoking in general. I don't do it but a lot of my friends do and they get treated really badly eg Lectures from random people, anti smoking ads all the time, being expelled from public places especially pubs. I think its pretty unfair for them to be given such abuse for a little lifestyle choice.

Waiting at bus stops. There is nothing more boring.

I can get all your complaints, Solid Moose, except for the first. Why is it such a big deal to pack stuff in 7's? (Also I have only a very vague idea of what the hell a prime number is)

When I can't find the druids I'm looking for.

How do you divide up 7 drumsticks?

I disagree, I think it's fantastic that people are finally starting to take notice of all the negative effects of smoking. If people want to spoil their own body that's fine by me, but is it really fair for them to be allowed to do it in public places where it affects other people as well?

Although random people lecturing your friends about it seems downright strange (and totally rude, of course).

On topic: The media's habit of blatantly taking a side when "reporting" a story.

One per person?

Please stay away from turning this into an smoking debate.


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

woops sorry

I was still writing when rohugh posted.

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

Just remember to remove the bone.

What really grinds my gears is when my phone suddenly dies in the middle of the night, leaving me with no alarm clock. Cue me being late.

Aren't cooked chicken bones bad for dogs, or something? Maybe we could give one to the bear instead

Another one for the list: The repetitive and unfunny "memes" that seem to spread through Facebook every few weeks.

Staff might get sick and/or doesn't like it. Sweden did the same thing. If you want to smoke you have to go outside since it wasn't fair to force the waiters/waitresses to stand in a cloud of smoke all day. Ane before people start yelling that they should quit and get another job if they don't like it is that it might be the only job they CAN get

Toss a coin, rock scissors paper?

Sounds like somebody needs some xanax... :whistling:

You want to know what grinds my gears? IE6

I created a website for my friend recently and getting it display properly on IE6 took up 80% of the time I spent writing the code. :banghead:

Why would you even WANT to share the chicken anyway?????

Cuz sharing is good, mmmkay?

Also, I thought you guys were talking about drumsticks, as in the ice cream, not chicken. I got really confused when you started talking about givings dogs ice cream and talking about the bones in the ice cream.

Games with save points and checkpoints. Whatever happened to being able to save the game whenever I want to? What, did developers just forget how to do that? Or is it too much coding to bother with? I'm especially talking to the JRPGs. Save points are stupid. Get rid of them.

Fox News. There's a reason it says News, guys. Why are you always bickering like a bunch of teenagers every time I pass this channel?

Digital cable. Thank you forcing me to go downstairs to watch advlt Swim because my TV just so happens to not have a stupid box. Here, let me just waste my money and pay for an extra one. <_<

Movie trailers. Show me one trailer these days that doesn't have the comedic pause, doesn't use overly cliched "epic" music, and makes me want to go see a movie for once. Seriously, the trailers alone do a fantastic job of making sure I never go see it.

On the topic of movies, remakes and never-ending sequels. Yes, the original one or two were good. Now think of something different, you lazy ass [censored] pricks.

People who take pictures off the internet, edit them with a bunch of stupid animated squiggly lines, a flashing background, and some poetic text, and call it their own "masterpiece" they somehow need to express their individuality with.

People who constantly pull out internet memes they think are funny.

Computers doing random [censored] that prevents me from getting a game working, so I have to go out of my way for an hour or more to try and fix the issue.

Every top gaming list ever spawned either putting a really popular mainstream title at the top or something completely out of the blue like Tetris. Yes, it was good and revolutionary, but you're not making yourself look cool and retro by doing that.

My dad.

YouTube comments.

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

Needlessly complicated beurocracy...actually, just beurocracy. It pisses me off, I was declined a stipend because I had put my adress down twice by accident. One of the adress fields was apprently just for show, and not intended to be used for anything, how the [censored] was I supposed to know that? Then of course, they sent me a form that I had to return before a specific date to get this mess fixed...I got that form 2 days after the expiration date...Stuff like that makes me want to strangle someone, it's the most frustrating thing in the world.
