You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I hate when people complain about working long hours period. I've deployed to Iraq for 15 months, 12 hour days, 7 days a week. A place where you dread holidays since those are the days with increased activity.

Next time you hear somebody complain about their work hours, let them know their is a soldier on a patrol right now who's just glad he's seen another day.

People tend to think about themselves and complain over petty stuff. I just dislike that mentality.

Thank you for your service.

one guy on your team thinks he's Kobe or they take a pick-up game too seriously and it's not even fun (that last reason killed it for me at Mizzou).

I hate it when I get stuck with people like that on a team. You could be wide open with everybody off in the paint not even guarding you and still not get the ball because of the ball hog. The people who take pick up games seriously are ridiculous too.

Ollie, when you rolled your ankle was it bad or just a light roll?

Not to mention they're in the desert too.

Lol. How do you not know how to grill?

I don't know how to grill lol. I'm not a big steak fan so it was never a priority to learn for myself. The food I "cook" for myself can be done with an oven, toaster, microwave, or Foreman grill. As a man I get looked down upon for this, which grinds my gears.

Man, reading comments on any internet posted item is like going into the darkest corners of the universe.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

So I sold an entertainment center on a facebook exchange group. Long story short the lady and her husband had to come to my house to get it. After taking forever to get here despite living 10 minutes away, they pull into my drive. As they pull in the lady flicks a cigarette butt out of the cracked window into my yard. Really? If I wasn't already late for the movie that I told her I was trying to catch I would have told them to get the **** out of here just on principal alone and sold it to someone else.

The more I work in retail and interact with people I don't know, the less hope I have for the population in general.

Ollie you have more self-control than me. I would've picked it up and thrown it back in the truck. People are rude to each other - its sad.

I had already told the lady to pretty much hurry her *** up because I wanted to leave at 1:05 to go to the a movie. They take their sweet *** time leaving the house and get here around 1:05 which isn't to bad, but then they moved like molasses, probably because all 3 of them were smoking in a tiny Ford Ranger.

I work in retail, people are just pigs.

Leave junk everywhere, garbage, wrappers, they take merchandise throw it on the floor, don't bother to put it back anywhere near where it belongs, if it's not locked up it's getting messed up.

They demand everything to be done for them, and get upset if something is not available or don't get what they want, and basically just expect employees to kiss their *** at all times.

I'd say 80% of the people I deal with are like that. Funny because when I shop I try to put items back in condition I found them, in the place I found it, whether it be a shelf, or table... If I'm trying on clothes I'll try to hang it back on the hanger, or re-fold it then put it back but if not I'll neatly hang it on a rack in the fitting room. If I have garbage I look for a garbage can, not throw it on a shelf, and I know to wait for the next available help because I know stores get busy... If they don't have something I need to look elsewhere because *gasp* stores do run out of stock. If I'm too late then I'm out of luck.

Guess shame on me for expecting others to do the same eh.

When stores quit selling your favorite brand of cereal.
I'm looking at you all stores in my area that used to sell Big Frosted Mini Wheats.

When places start charging for stuff that was free.
I'm looking at you Domino's. The first couple of times I bought you bread sticks, I got the marinara sauce for free. Now they charge for it.
