    Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

    When people feel the need to list their gaming resume ("I played Emancipator 8000 in 1942, and have played every game ever made since then") when they post an opinion on games.

      This and the people that hate if your a new fan of something. " I've been a fan since he was making demos in his basement, your not a real fan". Like why the **** does it matter when I became a fan?

        Same applies to bands as well. Your considered inferior if you didn't become a fan when they put out their first demo. So what if the Black Album caused me to discover Metallica. It was the first four albums that made me stay once I started listening to their back catalog.

        My gear grinder for the day....working for a manager who is an idiot. I wonder how he became a manager in the first place. Our sales numbers are great (it's a new location getting ready to end its second year of existence, we're still growing), but he can't pass a monthly inspection by corporate to save his life (right signage, cleanliness, out of stock issues, etc. etc.)

          I also have to ask.

          Is this a common occurrence for you? I can count on one hand how many times I've had to pee in a cup.

          It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

            Not common for me at all. I'm taking a summer class which requires clinical hours in a hospital, so I needed to be tested.

            You figure a drug testing lab would have enough cups lol.

                  Yup. The Bic Atlantis 2 (I think is their official name for it) mechanical pencil is my go to. Awesome grip/feel.

                  (This was one of the nerdiest posts I remember ever writing on here. That's strange.)

                      People that actually type how they say words. A girl I've known for years, just a sample of some of the words she's posted the past few days.

                      Sholl
                      Preciate
                      Aks
                      Tryna

                      Is it really that hard to type/text 'sure', 'appreciate', 'ask', and 'trying to'? My phone will spell those for me! Someone else I know spells every word that starts with a 'k' sound with a k, even if it's spelled with a c. He uses it as his signature. When did it become normal to not want to act like you know how to spell?

                          These Neil Patrick Harris Heineken commercials. So damn obnoxious. If they're going for humor, they fell drastically short.

                              So, when coaching travel ball I'm always on those long freeway stretches trying to find a specific fast food place. Maybe it's Jack in the Box, In-N-Out, Jamba Juice, whatever...

                              What grinds my gears is when I'm intently looking for the restaurant or a sign for the restaurant leading up to the exit, and I don't come upon a visual of it until after I pass the exit.

                              These signs are never well thought out.

                                I love fast food but have never eaten or seen any of the places you listed.
