You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

That actually makes perfect sense to me.

I know exactly what you're saying. We always get in an argument about something sports related, and he always gets pissed. I back my statement up with facts and he relegates back to ESPN or just because.

Nope. Fat and ugly (although she did have pretty eyes). And I'm aware that she was just flirting but its just so annoying. And this happens to me a lot when I wear clothing with my favorite teams on it.

This brings up another peeve of mine, Girls whose idea of flirting is to poke fun of your interests, nag you, or just do something to P*** you off in general just to get your attention.

If you wanted my attention why didn't you just come up to me, say Hi and ask to talk about something? Instead of pulling some kind of BS.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Haven't read the whole thread so I don't know how many times or if this has been mentioned but.....

People that try to act like they know a lot about sports when its clear they know nothing. For example:

*I walk into store with my Steelers jacket on*

Random female clerk: Ewww, take off that jacket cause the Steelers suck.

Me: If you say so.

Clerk: I do. They're so bad. When was the last time they ever even won anything.

Me: A few years ago.

Clerk: So what, that was that one time. Other than that, when have they ever won anything.

Me: A couple of years before the one I just mentioned.

Clerk: WHATEVER. They so did not win two superbowls in the past few years.

Me: Yes they did.

Clerk: No they didn't because the Cowboys won the Super Bowl that year!

Me: No they didn't.

Clerk: They did. I watched it!

Me: Whatever you say. I'm leaving now.

So annoying.

Not a big thing, but something that kind of bugs me are phone conversations in any movie or tv show. How often do they actually say good bye to end the conversation? It seems like its always blah blah blah half assed closing remark CLICK.

Or how often to they pick up the phone and 2 seconds later say "on my way" or "got it" and hang up? WTF? What did the other person say that was so fast and to the point within 2 seconds? I can't imagine calling someone and before even saying hello or how are you saying "MEET ME AT THE PARK IN 20 MINUTES" and hanging up

- I hate when I wear Eagles/Phillies apparel, everyone automatically thinks that I want to talk about them.

*2 days before the Super Bowl* "How are the Eagles doing?"

*Sigh*

- I hate during the summer time, I have the AC on full blast in my car, where I can set the temperature. I set it at 60 degrees full blast but get cold sometimes so I turn up the temperature one click--which is 65 degreed--and I start getting hot. WTF. CAR, Y U NO HAVE 62.5 DEGREES?

- Along the same lines, I hate when I am walking outside in the winter and my body is cold, but I'm sweating. WTF? Then I'll take off the jacket and my body will get even more cold but I'll stop sweating...only to put it back on and start to sweat again

- This entire winter which has seen more 60+ degree days than in spring of last year. WTF

- Eating a late night snack and feeling it in the morning

- Waking up at 5 AM to pee, not falling back asleep until 6 AM, only to wake up to my alarm at 7 AM

- Waking up and realizing you overslept

When you're watching TV and they keep showing the same commercials every commercial break. This seems especially prevalent on Discover Health & Fitness and Investigation Discovery.

That one where everyone is screaming because they missed the sale a a day late comes to mind. It's already terrible, but now I have to see it every break, that kills me.

I swear their are some commercials that just are designed to annoy you.

Try watching anything On Demand. I have the Comcast, and NBC and Fox (and I'm sure others) have decided to disable the fast forward. So I see the same stupid ad for the same stupid movie/show/insurance company/etc. every commercial break. I just LOVE that change over the past year.

The commercial with the pig yelling "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee We We Weeeeeeeeeee!"

I don't even remember what the advertisement is about.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Watching Cardinal games, the commercials get old, FAST. I remember the Steak and Shake commercials with the talking hat. They played those two for about two years. WILD HAPPY HOUR, YAYYYY!!!

Speaking of the same commercials, I remember watching this Sears commercial on TV everyday for at least 5 years. Probably closer to 10 years. Who else remembers it?
