You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

As an Xbox 360 owner I felt I missed out on Sony exclusives that were simply more appealing and varied to me than Halo, Gears of War, and...I'm drawing a blank. Of course I loved playing the ME trilogy first and Forza is always a favorite of mine, but the reason why I switched this gen is because I didn't want to miss out on the larger library that appeals to me more.

I can afford the One, but since I have no interest in the multimedia aspects I can't justify the purchase. The WiiU is a different story since its exclusive library is unique.

That's kinda my point though.

Last gen you could get by with only one and not miss a ton.

I have a feeling there's going to be more exclusives this gen. More division. And I think that's going to prove to make it harder to only own the one.

I know in the past there were only a few differences. I just have a hunch that this is the gen where the libraries become vastly different.

I guess only time will tell, but for now the only exclusive that irks me is Tomb Raider. I can ignore new IPs or pre-existing exclusives fairly easily.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Man I wish I could play more video games but my life just isn't structured that way anymore. I only own two video games (well, 2 annual sports games so while I own more than 2 they're basically in a 2 per year cycle) and I can barely find the time to play them. I can't imagine people who buy new games often.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

People who complain about trivial stuff when the people around them are actually going through some really tough stuff.

"Ugh, I broke my tooth. I cant catch a break."
Really? My dad died.

"The only reason I failed math is because my teacher hated me and tried to fail me. So unfair, now I have to go to summer school the summer before college. Why is he trying to screw me over and hurt my future? I've worked so hard for this"
No, you failed because you're lazy as hell and didnt do work. You talk a big game which you think makes you sound cool but you dont follow through. Did I mention that my mom had a stroke and I was at the hospital every waking second I wasnt at school and I still passed that class with a B-?

Some people are lazy **** and will never amount to anything. I'm not saying that I'm some sort of saint, because I'm not. I'm just tired as hell of hearing kids my age say stuff like this when I'm legitimately hurting.

And before someone says it, I know the people talking like this actually arent going through anything in addition to this stuff. They're just lazy

News came out today that the new Tomb Raider is a "timed exclusive" for the 360 and One only. The word "exclusive" has become meaningless now.

You know what really grinds my gears?

People who exaggerate everything.
People constantly have to one up you.
People who want constant sympathy and always tell you how much harder their life is than yours even though we all know they are rich and their mommy and daddy covers every single little expense

People at my school who play sports and think they are better than everyone else because of this.

People who talk with their hands way too much

"Friends" who push you aside when they get a new significant other and refuse to hangout as a group or double date with this new lover.

Customers who get mad at me that prices are too high.

The way my general manager talks down to me but kisses every girl employees ***

The fact that after 16 months I make 10 cents more than minimum wage and new hires are making 25 cents more.

That a took a new position at work that requires 10x more work than my old position but I never got a raise for it in 6 months

Sorry I'm in a bad mood lately and had to let it out

Edit: I have more

When people self diagnose themselves with stuff. No you aren't an insomniac you just don't sleep because you're lazy and do nothing all day.

The phrase "party drugs"

When people say "swimming pools" by Kendrick Lamar is their "drinking song". The song is against alcohol you idiot. Girls do this one a lot.

When people don't try at all in pick up sports . I get that you shouldn't take t so serious you fight and get into arguments but put some effort in. I could do a lot of other things if I just wanted to mess around. I play sports to win. Hell wiffle ball games at my family's house usually lead to someone crying or some sort of fight haha

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

People who ride bikes on the sidewalks. In Chicago we have designated bike lanes everywhere but there are always a few idiots who decide to ride on the sidewalk and look at you funny because you're in their way.

With the amount of time I have to play I have to pick and choose games more. I'll miss out on games I could actually be playing, so worrying about exclusives isn't a huge deal. I get your point though, and it is annoying.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

So this is a total ******* gear grinder...

People who dump the ice into the bucket seconds before they do the ice bucket challenge. At least let it sit for a few minutes so it's actually cold. I know that's not the point, but I know you aren't going to donate money either so at least make it challenging.

lol ya. I hate those people. They aren't even supposed to be riding their bike on the sidewalk,then act like you are the one in the way and you should move.

Similar thing with people walking dogs. While they're obviously supposed to be on the sidewalk, if you see someone walking the opposite direction, at least give them space to pass. Don't just stand on one side of the sidewalk,have your dogs leash going all the way across the other side of the sidewalk and force the person walking towards them to basically walk on the road just to get around that person.

Or when you're walking on the right side of the sidewalk, nobody else around you,and then coming from the other direction is 1-2 other people, and even though they see you walking on the far side of the sidewalk,they make no effort at all to even move to the side you're not walking on. I thought you're supposed to keep to your right hand side in situations like this.....guess not.

Adding to this, the people who bike in between the traffic and parked cars on the street (bike lanes), and don't pay attention.

I've been waiting for the day to witness one of these...



... no such luck so far. Someday.

Yeah I've seen some crazy bikers, weaving in/out of traffic, not following traffic signals, wearing headphones and texting while biking. It blows my mind.



I saw a video awhile ago of a guy on a divvy bike riding on Lake Shore Drive lol.

When people say bad things happen in threes.

No, they don't.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

People who ride their bike in the road. Sometimes packed up in the road and sometimes they wont move over. They are infesting my town literally.
