Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

People who don't bring their keys with them when they go out then get pissed when they are stuck outside for 30minutes because I was asleep at 2am and then blame me for locking the door....

Pshh, who leaves the door to their Home locked at 2 A.M anyways?

UPS

I sent out 3 boxes to go to the states. A few days later it reaches the border and then stops moving for like 3 days. I get a phone call that the customs paperwork was missing and could I fax them over to them. I did and the shipment STILL stood still. A week passes and they send the boxes back to me stating that the receiver would not accept as their wasn't an invoice with the packages. When they arrived back to me the ORIGINAL customs paperwork with my signature written in pen (not the faxed copies I sent them) was still attached to Box #1 untouched. WTF?

The boxes were likely separated, and UPS can't force people to accept packages.

This is completely unrelated, but when shipping UPS, make sure the contents have a packing slip firmly attached, reason being if the box/envelope becomes damaged, open, unreadable, etc, the employees need something to know where the stuff was going and what stuff was inside. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff UPS destroys because it couldn't be delivered either because it was lost and they couldn't find where it was going, or it was illegal to ship (lots of alcohol gets poured down drains).

One of my best friends works for UPS. I am glad companies haven't gone cheap and pack the **** out of their packages.

People at job. Whenever I go to the break room for lunch it's always a big ****ing mess. Trash and **** on the floor. Crumbs, partially eaten food, trash, etc still on the table. Throw your **** away mother****ers. I don't expect it to be spotless, but this **** is unacceptable.

When people ask you to put stuff away, etc that would take an extra 2 seconds of their time. Do it your damn self!

I hardly ask for help in the first place, so it grinds my gears when people need me to finish their small tasks all the time. This morning my girl cut some cantaloupe for her brother's lizard and apparently told me to put away the dish. First off I didn't even hear her, then she was like thanks for helping. I straight up told her to do it her damn self. It's not that big of a deal, but when you're constantly asked to do these small tasks and when you yourself do not ask for help in ****ing everything you do, it gets on my damn nerves.

People that drive excessively slow, but when you go to pass them, all of sudden become speed racer and then I'm forced to floor it get around them.

It's like, "Oh, did me passing you remind me how big of a jackass you are going 15 under the speed limit. Douche"

My older brother is notorious for this. We'll have a family party, and I'll be running around cooking, and getting everything ready, while he's on the couch watching TV, and he'll come up and say "Can you put more ice in the ice bucket?"

umm.. The fridge is right there.. I'm busy doing other things.. DEAL WITH IT!

I love this post.

I hate it when people do that, especially if they are right by the thing that they were talking about in the first place.

When you simply ask someone, "can you do me a favor?" And they suddenly sigh, wince and drop their shoulders and say, "what?" in a whiny voice.

Forget it! Next time you need me for anything, GET LOST!

Then they're all begging to do it.

You know what grinds my gears? People that ask "can you do me a favor?", "will you hand me something?", "can you get something for me?", etc. These questions are just an unanswerable waste of time, just ask for what you want/need.

I had this happen to me 4 separate times in about 5 minutes tonight on my way home.
