You know what really grinds my gears?

The sound of people chewing drives me insane.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

3. Every time I go to the store, this woman who works there feels that it is her duty to hold a conversation with me every time she sees me. Being long time friends with my wife don't equal you are my friend too. Don't care about your kids, grand kids, dog, bird or none of that stuff lady.

I have this lady at a gas station near my house who does this EVERY SINGLE TIME. She always has something to say to me whether it's about her family, the weather, what her day has been like, telling me a stupid joke, ****ing anything. Once she asked me my opinion on whether she should eat Taco Bell or Arby's after work.

On top of that, every time I buy say gas and ask her to put "x amount of money on pump x" she always says "No." Then follows it up with "HAHAHA you know I have to give you a hard time right!?!?!?!?!?!"

Lol honestly I'm nice to her, just because that's how I am, but man... A couple months ago she was sick and lost her voice. Probably the best experience I've had in that store since she started working there.

When I think "gas station attendant" in this story I visualize a 40ish but looks 60ish, skanky old lady missing a few teeth who is trying to flirt with a guy way out of her league....

Hunting for an apartment is quite the gear grinder.

The whole Kevin Ware injury thing. Yes, very unfortunate and very gruesome but I don't recall ever seeing someone get so much publicity for an injury.

Phone calls and donations from other professional athletes, tv interviews, shirts, late night tv cameos? He's turned into a celebrity from just an injury.

And Sports Center declaring Louisville National Champions because of the extra motivation they have now.

The funny thing is, five years from now nobody besides Louisville fans or hardcore college hoops fans will even remember his name. Sucks he got hurt and all, but talk about your 15 minutes being up...

THIS!! I can't sit at a table with people and eat in silence. The sound makes me cringe. There has to be some background noise like a radio or TV on.

People who can't maintain speed while driving. Talking about on the highway mostly, like when you pull out to pass someone and they slowly speed up with you, only to realize about 15 seconds later they're going much faster than they were and slow down. Drives me nuts every single day.

When online servers for games can't get me to play online/take a LONG time to actually connect to something. If I can go and play a Madden, WWE, etc. match within 5-20 seconds, why in the world does NBA 2K make me wait 5 minutes for a Blacktop game?

Aaaand, fixed. I love AT&T's online support chat, they get **** done quick, I'd probably still be on hold with the cableco.

Edit: Spoke too soon, their order system is down, I'll have to chat again in the AM. Oh well, I'll finish Bioshock instead.
