The That Really Grinds My Gears thread

by Big Daddy Bee Fri 28 Jan 2011, 6:39 pm

So then people what really annoys you.

No matter how gig or trivial it is, this is the thread to vent your anger and annoyance.

I shall start this with:

Starburst. They are not Starburst, they are Opel Fruits and always will be. And don't get me started on Snickers. STOP CHANGING THE NAME OF SWEETS!!!! :evil:

School kids that come in to the coffee shop at lunch time. I don't need to hear your rubbish. Dial it down a notch and we can all enjoy your lunches without hearing you.

Whistling in the office while I'm on the phone. Stop It!

Oh and my infamous colleague "C".

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

vegetarians.

Why do they need vegetarian burgers and sausages?

Do I ask for carrots to be made from beef? Or Lamb Petits Pois?

Drivers that do not feel the need to use their indicators on roundabouts also cyclists that do not have lights on their bikes and riding on the pavement. I drive a car as well as ride a bicycle who is lit up like a Christmas tree but that doesn't stop some car,van and lorry drivers from giving me enough room to squeeze a Mars bar through

by AberdeenSteve Wed 02 Feb 2011, 9:29 pm

Great shout on the round abouts asdral, seriously bugs my happiness.

What annoys me .......

People who drive at ridiculously slow speeds, tractors, anything road related.. As you may see, I have savage road rage Shocked

by Jammy31 Sun 06 Feb 2011, 2:45 pm

I have a HUGE list, one that would probably crash the internet and cause riots... :shooter: Shocked

by Guest Sun 06 Feb 2011, 2:47 pm

People (groups of) that stop in the middle of shopping malls for a convenient chat. Stand to one freaking side your morons.

by Adam D Sun 06 Feb 2011, 6:48 pm

bus and taxi drivers.

Indicators are on the car are not novelty features.

People who stand in door ways or in really tight corridors.

Left hand lane wedgers at traffic lights

It really grinds my gears when you've just landed on an amber light and some wedger (who was probably in another postcode when you got to the lights) steals into the left hand lane beside you.

I sometimes pretend to be indifferent (noticing through my peripheral vision that the j*erk is even sizing me up to get the jump when the lights turn green) - then it's foot to the floor first, slowing down slightly just before the parked van up ahead. thumbsup

by Bobby Roode Fri 18 Feb 2011, 1:42 pm

Middle lane morons or MLM's. Those who insist on hogging the middle lane on the motorway at 65mph despite it being empty.

by **ADMIN** Fri 18 Feb 2011, 2:11 pm

Cyclists in groups, the ones that double up and enable it impossible to overtake.

by Adam D Fri 18 Feb 2011, 2:20 pm

lorries that overtake each other on hills when there are only two lanes.

Vegetarians.

People who pretend to know everything about everything.

My wife.

Wayne on 606 getting everyones posts removed.

School kids that go to the same Starbucks as me at lunch. Actually, school kids in general.

Also the ones that dont have lights wear dark clothing and ride on the pavement and its not always kids
I'm not anti cyclist, I ride one I'm lit up like a Christmas tree wear Hi Vis clothing and still get cut up at least once a week

by Lex-Express Fri 18 Feb 2011, 6:47 pm

The fact that any account I create on 606 gets shut down inside a day, cos I got 606ed once, when I didnt even do anything to deserve it

School kids, groups of kids hanging out on corners that just have to say something as your walking past them, and the fact that it would be me in the wrong if I attacked them with a hammer

Dogs doing poopie's on the pavement outside my house all the time

Having to serve a customer when Im trying to use 606/ 606v2

Damn it this list could go on all day

Middle Lane Morons also do my head in! I have a habbit of pulling next to them, have a little look, then speed up and cut across straight to the inside lane. They usually awake from their dream state and move over then! I also only do this when its really quiet on the motorway! :lol:

Umbrellas.

More specifically Golfing Umbrellas being used by people on their own. A golfing umbrella is that size to cover the caddy, golf bag and golfer. It is not for you to walk down the pavement taking up ALL of the room.

Midgets with umbrellas grind my gears too (Yes I know labelling all people shorter than me as midgets is wrong, but I've done it now so deal with it). I'm taller than you so would you please move the umbrella away from my eye level when I walk past you??

Can you tell it's raining today?

I really hope that you are only 5ft and you are actually referring to midgets!

Sorry to disappoint. I'm not 5ft

I'm in a ranty/raging mood this morning and so I'm not making the distinction between smaller people and midgets. Just everyone smaller than me today is a midget.

A bit of a gaming one this.

Call of Duty online, Domination. People who don't play the objective. To win Domination, you don't need all 3 flags just 2. Capture 2 flags and spawn trap the enemy team then, take up good positions and then begin to kill them repeatedly.

Mentioned it before on livechat but...

Kinder Egg toys that are pre built.

by theundisputedY2D2 Thu 24 Feb 2011, 11:22 am

People who decide to show off their new phone to their mates by playing EVERY FRICKING RINGTONE on there from start to finish!

The fact that I can't get Kellogg's Start anywhere.

Ordering a pair of Nike Cortez's only to find that after a 4 MONTH WAIT they sent me the wrong trainers.

I RAN OUT OF PEANUT BUTTER HALFWAY THROUGH MAKING SANDWICHES YESTERDAY!

I'm going to state this again. My colleague C.

My blog runneth over with my hatred of her.

Y2, They stock Start in ASDA my friend

Mountain Dew is available in BP garages and Co-Ops.

tab Clear was awesome.

by **ADMIN** Thu 24 Feb 2011, 11:55 am

Not seen Mountain Dew around my way for a good ten years Sad

However much I enjoyed it it's not worth moving down South for.

by theundisputedY2D2 Thu 24 Feb 2011, 11:55 am

Lex, unfortunately they don't have it in my local ASDA or Tesco! :crying: I'm a broken man!

DT you still not sleeping mate? Jeezy Chreezy!

Know what else I hate? Green tea. It's rank. But I made the mistake of telling the hot girl in the office who made some for me that I liked it and she keeps on bringing me cups. If she's gonna do that she needs to wear shorter skirts & tighter tops.

It's common courtesy for me imbibing that foul tasting brew.

by David Tails Thu 24 Feb 2011, 12:01 pm

I'm not a fan of green tea either. I've got a green blend coffee which is okay as an alternative.

No Y2...I got 1 hour last night. Shocked

I'm averaging between 1-2 hours at the moment. Insomnia sucks!

I get Start from Asda and I can get Mountain Dew from a shop near me in crates of 24 cans for £7.99 Smile

I love Manchester!

by Lex-Express Thu 24 Feb 2011, 1:22 pm

Y2 your ASDA sucks man, they one down in here in deepest Kent has piles of Start

Mountain Dew, you can get it now, but its been reclassified as an energy drink cos they have added caffine to it...it dont taste the same now tho, not like its used to. They banned it over here cos of its sugar content one can used to have something stupid like 2.5 table spoons of sugar in it.

Tab Clear, man do i wish they could bring that back!

strange how the mind works tho, cos i could drink tab clear, even tho it should have been cola coloured but I couldnt even bring myself to try Heinz green keptchup when I was told it tasted just like the red one

by theundisputedY2D2 Thu 24 Feb 2011, 1:26 pm

Don't think we can get Start anywhere here north of the border Lex, it's like all of Mel Gibson's efforts were for naught. Where's our freedom now Gibson, WHERE'S OUR FREEDOM NOW?!?!

I went to visit my sister down in Windsor end of last year and nearly did a sex wee in my pants when I saw boxes & boxes of Start in the local ASDA.

Green ketchup? Dude........seriously?

by Guest Thu 24 Feb 2011, 1:27 pm

People who go out for a curry and order a Korma!!!
