You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

...but what I came in here to say is grinding my gears is resigns/re-signs and people who dont use hyphens when they're talking about someone who is re-upping and not quitting.
Unless I have that backwards. I dont even know anymore.

I've always thought about that one. Imagine a headline article that said: "Brady resigns QB position with Patriots." Dumb title, but you get the point. That certainly would certainly create some kind of uproar, whether it is misleading or the truth.

Don't worry, sites have lots of other ways to get people to click by overly using clickbait headlines all the time.

I accidentally quit a good coaching job in NCAAF because of the resign/re-sign issue

The fact that we have to work on Super Bowl Monday. Should be a federal holiday.

When a bar has "$3.00 Texas Beers Night", but nowhere does it states the stipulations and the staff isn't good enough to make you aware that the beer you are ordering isn't part of the deal.

People still having Christmas lights on! It's like my neighborhood is having a "last man standing" battle. Whoever keeps their lights on the latest in the year wins(a high electricity bill). Seems to be 1 house on every street at least. Even major streets by me, the city left up Christmas stuff.....

I don't mind Christmas lights going up in November, but have to draw the line at when to take them down, or at least off(if people don't want to take them down due to cold weather). After new year's is when it should be done. I thought maybe they kept it on cause of Orthodox Christmas, or maybe chinese new year,but it's still on well past those dates.

Opening Day should be a holiday. I even signed a petition for it.

People who don't put screen protectors on their $800 phones.

Then you hear the hard tapping with a nail/other item.

A screen protector isn't any louder than the screen itself. I'm not talking some obnoxious Otter Box plastic screen. A stick on Zagg protector is silent, and I've managed to go 7 years without cracking a screen (knock of wood) despite having some pretty violent drops. I had a heavy light fixture covering drop right in the middle of my tablet and it survived unscathed. 100% of the people I know who have had shattered screens did not have a protector on it. Not sure that's just coincidence.

Was talking about without a protector. Seems like a necessary thing to get.
