You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I don't think logic enters anywhere into the equation. I think it's simply a matter they do not care about others enough to do it. I also think that's what causes my gear grinding. If I thought it was a mistake, a lapse, accidentally forgetting to use a turn signal, that's one thing, and understandable. But you see it more often than not, so you know it's a matter of not caring.

Definitely not a mistake, especially when even in the moment and after the fact they're staring at you as if you're the one who caused this issue, meanwhile they don't have a care in the world about the fact they almost caused an accident because they didn't want cars around them knowing which way they're turning....

I get not having the signal on while you're stuck at a light (unless you're the front car) and then just turn your signal on once the lights about to change, but if you're trying to turn and you just refuse to put your signal on, that's your fault, don't get mad that a car approaching the intersection is about to drive through it while you're about to turn left because you're giving off the impression you're going straight ahead.

People who don't stop behind the white line at traffic lights.


Then people who may or may not stop behind said light, but then spend the whole red light inching ever so slowly forward like is going to make the light change faster or something. Just stay behind the ****ing line and stop the car, not that hard.

Speaking of red lights, best is those who go around your car to speed ahead....then just get stuck at the same red light you also arrived at 5 seconds later.

I never know how to download from GitHub. I frequent there for items once every couple of months, but when that time comes I stress out what I'm looking at.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

there's a light I frequent without a left or right turn lane, it's just two lanes, one each way, and people behind a left turner will try and zoom around them to the right, the assumption being traffic in the other direction is going straight, only to collide with someone from the other direction that was turning left. it's dangerous AF out here with people that can't just be patient and let the traffic play out

And accidents are a common occurrence? Methinks the city should do something about that.

I wouldn't ever be inclined to do the same thing at a four-way intersection, but I can absolutely see other uninformed parties do that.

it's an intersection that people use to avoid the major intersection of left turners, and then the left turners have figured it out, only to clog it for the others trying to avoid the main left turner spot lol, it's crazy. It's an area that goes from city to rural real quick, and people think this is the rural light workaround only to get stuck behind the other workaround planners, and then they get frustrated and try to plow through, and then smash

Podcasts....yeah. coukd do a whole thing on that..

The worst to me is when it's a crew of people and they all start riffing and laughing at each other like they are comediens, even though none of them are actually comediens. Like we're all supposed to think you and your friends are funny because y'all laughing lol. I'll see that fake **** happen on podcasts that I usually like, and I have to turn it off. It's like the modern equivalent of sitcom studio audience with the "laugh" button lol.

Unpopular Opinion: If you aren’t know out here in any way, you don’t need a podcast, you need an actual job. And even if you are known, we don’t NEED a podcast from you where all you gonna do be messy and act like women gossiping and ****.

When you try out a podcast and it's basically some dude reading from Wikipedia. You're thinking "I know more than this clown."

Also, when a podcast becomes popular and is subsequently flooded with advertising.

The Dr. Pepper $100,00 Tuition football throwing competion challenge at halftime. More specifically its the way the contestants throw the ball. There needs to be a rule you can only throw with one hand, and throw overhanded. This is football afterall, not basketball.

I just change the channel when they do this, no matter how they set it up it doesn't interest me

I'll take it one step further and say that we have too many idiots that have gotten far too comfortable hearing their own voice and forcing the world around them to hear it as well. I wear a shirt often that has two words on it, "Talk less", and I stand by that. People should think more and talk less.


Twenty years ago, half the things that some folks are saying out loud in the open for all to hear would have gotten them punched in the jaw and their attitude adjusted rather quickly. But we have arrived in an era where we are expected to listen and show that we care about every person and their opinions while having to hold our own tongues for the sake of not hurting someone's feelings. The time will come soon, though, that the pendulum swings back and catches many folks in some very uncomfortable situations. Life has a way of working itself out for those that have no testicular fortitude.
