You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When my CD player in my car doesn't work. Of course, I just made two new CD's. Usually it gives me trouble but after a few tries obliges. No such luck the last 2 days.

CDs, as in Compact Discs? Get with the times, Grandpa. :wink:

With the times ? I have a 2006 and it still doesn't support bluetooth.. so I use CDs too.. If I didn't like the layout of my dash, I would put in an aftermarket with Bluetooth, that way I could just stream from my phone.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

After taking 4 flights in the last 48 hours there a lots of things about airports or more specifically people at airports that grind my gears.

1. People who 'race' you to get onto the plane. I'm sitting there going "WTF man it's not like you are going to score a better seat than me by pushing in!"

2. People who come and stand right in front of you for no reason when collecting bags from the baggage carousel. It's almost like they are trying to establish low post position or something and is just bizarre behaviour. Rather than everyone standing back and only coming in to collect once they see their bags they crowd the carousel like that will result in them getting their bags first.

3. Not sure if this is the same in the US but prices for things at airport shops. So if I want to buy a small bottle of water it's really going to cost me $5.60?!

The guys in the NBA forum that spend all of their time trolling.

I hate the word troll, but it def. applies to a lot of people.

That reminded me when I was in Sao Paulo's airport and one of my family bought a crescent for 10 dollars, unbelievable.

I hate it when people are at my house and ask "Do you have a bathroom?" No, I go crap in the backyard.

Bdubb,

Somebody told me I look like the guy in the pink. It's some TV show that I've never watched but I looked it up one time.

It grinded my gears

Workaholics on comedy central. Probably one of my fav shows now.

Forgive me, I've never been to Brazil and I can't figure out what a crescent would be.

I was thinking a crescent roll/croissant.

The next time someone does #2, do a CP3 flop. See if anyone calls a foul.

Haha, yes. I've always hung back until the end since I pretty much only fly non-rev (standby), but those people's insistence on getting on the plane first so they can sit on their *** and wait is pretty funny to watch. "Hurry up and wait!!!"

Really, the only time it is really necessary to hurry at an airport is when you get off an international flight and you want to try to beat the crowd to Customs and Immigration.

Or when the plane finally stops and the pilot says you can unbuckle and stand up. Everybody does so even though they are going to be standing there for another 5 minutes waiting for the door to open and the jetway to come closer.
