You know what really grinds my gears?

censoring television to protect children who have probably seen and heard more inappropriate material then us.

a couple getting on the bus with 4 kids and the wife is pregnant.

that black people are called black people when they are brown and african american when they have never been to africa.

that people can't respect a person with a different opinion.

-People who are too sensitive. Like people who get offended when you are just breaking balls. And people who are too sensitive towards race and get offended over racial jokes.

-When people say they are going to call you back and then don't. If you don't want to hang out or talk, that's fine, but either tell me, or even lie and make up some excuse about why you can't. Just don't have me waiting around.

-All fat girls, and fat dudes who smell.

-Joe Morgan, Micheal Kay, Tim McCarver

-Pink polos

-People who just aren't polite

-People who go to a lecture and just play games on their laptop the whole time and take zero notes. It's college, no one is forcing you to go to class, just stay home. No point in going if your getting nothing out of it.

You know what else grinds my gears:

The fact that on regular TV they can show Jack Bauer snapping necks, blowing up buildings. They can show serial killers kill innocent people, terrorists detinate bombs and anything and everything else violent, but they can't show a pair of uncovered breasts or any form of nudity.

Apperantly the world is a better place with a ton of violence and no sex.

(Don't get me wrong, I love the violence as well)

Being able to join the Military, and legally go kill as many people as I want. But all the while, still being unable to legally drink a beer.

That is one of the stupidest rules/laws that our society has. IMO.

Well if you join the military in most areas you can drink with your military ID, so if you really want to drink, join the military.

-Another one while on the road is cutters. 35 cars waiting in line and there is always the guy who speeds up to the front and sneeks in. Nothing makes my day like blocking that guy off and flipping the bird. I once had a guy try it, not be able to make it and he hit the center divide at a freeway exit (nothing major, but man it put a smile on my face).

LOL! I see this all the time, the guy speeding up in front of like 20 cars and I wonder why somebody ALWAYS lets this douchebag in. the fact that you prevented him from merging and it caused him a minor accident is hilarious.

I have many issues with drivers other than, too many to list right now so I'll just go with this:

On a two-lane road when somebody gets in the left lane and goes 4 MPH over the speed limit and you're slowly passing cars on the right side but the dude in front of you never gets over to the right. That's terrific you're going 49 MPH, but I want to go 55 so get the **** out of my way.

I think I have road rage, I sometimes think about doing the PIT maneuver to get cars out of my way.

Tell me about it. I have this one class with a sweet prof, it is just an introductory level history class and the guy is pretty laid back. All of our tests are essay only but he gives you the questions ahead of time, so an A is a slam dunk. There are two awesome people around me. One guy comes in 5 minutes late, and then sleeps the rest of the period. He doesn't even bother to take a notebook out or anything, just sleeps, in the front row. The other kid decided to spend the entire class playing some video game on his laptop with headphones on. Seriously, what is the point of even going to class if you are just going to sleep (and he does it every class, so it isn't like an every once in awhile thing) or play games the entire class?

TV Timeouts in football. Nothing is as glorious as tv timeouts when at a game. I don't think you ever truely realize how they mess with the flow of the game until you attend a game. Bonus points for showing the same commercial twice.

This one genious at a local highschool football game, but his type is very common. I was next to this awesome guy who was arguing with the guys behind us. He was telling them that Southview's fight song (the USC fightsong) was originally Southview's and that USC came to little old Sylvania, Ohio and stole the song. This claim was particularly interesting due to the fact that Sylvania Southview did not exist until the 1970s. My girlfriend next to me is then wondering about this as I have told her that Southview has been stealing a lot of Trojan things (their spirit shirt says "Fight on" and they do the whole V thing with the hands), so then I decide to try to get in on this and back up the kids behind him. At which point the guy becomes so angry and tells me I have no idea about anything in college football, and to go "look it up online". I decide, this guy just plain rocks so I'm just going to get out of this mess and just let him think he is right. The little argument goes on for a bit, and the guy then attempts to wow everybody with his knowledge of military songs. Southview's band in the pregame plays a medley of the military songs (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force). Apparently The Marines let slip the anchors and the Army flies into the Wild Blue Yonder. The guys behind just laugh and then he proceeds to tell them that they have everything all wrong. He was getting pretty worked up too, I really thought he was going to kill somebody behind him for saying he was wrong. Long story short, I hate that guy.

When you are talking to your girlfriend and are actually saying something fairly important (not like earth shattering but something she wanted to know before or something), but you are in line for food or something. You're talking to her, and then notice she doesn't really seem into it, as you phrase something like "what do you think" and she just stares off into space. The reply then comes "I'm sorry what, sorry I wasn't paying attention". I then feel ******** repeating myself and usually just drop it.

What really grinds my gears is when people quote someone's post and type first rather than leaving the quote first, and putting the quote under the response.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Hmm...what grinds my gears?

People from forgettable states like Iowa & Maine who fall into the herd mentality of hating New Jersey. And you're from..?

T

Have you been to either of those states?

What really grinds my gears is when you are arguing with someone who insists they are right, but you know that the are not. They get pissed, like this argument is World War II and raise their voice to near shouting level. They then ask you why you can't admit that you are wrong, or make some claim that they know more than you. To proclaim victory in the argument, they always say, "I'm right, look it up." So you go and look it up, and lo-and-behold they couldn't be more wrong. You bring the factual evidence back to them, and what is their reply? "I don't even want to look at it." @#$%$#$!!!!!!!! Don't ask me to go look something up if you're not even going to acknowledge what I look up. If I prove you wrong with facts, you don't still win the argument by refusing to look at or acknowledge those facts. And don't say I can't stand being wrong or some bull to try and make it seem like you're in the right. I'm not the one getting pissed off or raising my voice. If I was wrong, I'd admit it, but I've provided factual evidence that you won't even look at. Here is an example (true story from a conversation last year):

Douche-bag: Al Jefferson is a beast, and they need to trade Paul Pierce so they can free Gerald Green and Big Al. Pierce never passes to them, hogs the ball, and if it were up to him and Doc, Al and Green would only get like 10 minutes a night.

Me: The reason why Al is doing so well is because Pierce started feeding him the ball when Al's ankle healed. I have quotes from him and Al, if you want to see them. And this all occurred before Pierce's injury. And Gerald Green is the worst defender on the team and shoots a low percentage from the floor. That's why he only gets 10 minutes a game. And Big Al? He hasn't gotten ten minutes a game since his rookie year.

Douche-Bag: No, you're wrong. The Lakers put Kobe in and he was amazing. The Celtics need to put Gerald in and let him be amazing too. They need to free Gerald, Gerald absolutely !@#$'s on Pierce in practice. I read it online. And Big Al never scored big points when Pierce hogged the ball.

Me: Can you show me where it said Gerald Green destroys Pierce in practice when he can't destroy Chucky Atkins in a game?

Douche-Bag: No. It was on some message-board, from someone with team sources, but I don't remember where I read it.

Me: You can't claim something as fact from a message board where the poster claims he has sources, unless those sources have been confirmed.. And Big Al's coming out party was the game in New Jersey on December 15th when Pierce had 15 assists, 12 of them to Big Al down low. I can show you the stats.

Douche-Bag: You're wrong, and you know it. Pierce never fed Jefferson.

Me: Yeah, he did. I have the quotes from him, Doc Rivers, and Al Jefferson. It will take me two minutes to look it up.

Douche-Bag: You're just a Pierce lover who can't admit that Gerald Green is better.

Me: Wait, you're seriously going too claim that Gerald Green is better right now than Pierce?

Douche-Bag: HE FREAKING $#@$'s ON HIM IN PRACTICE! YOU'RE JUST TOO STUPID TO ADMIT IT, AND YOU WON'T FREAKING ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG!

Me: Why don't we compare points, assists, and rebounds per game? Green only plays 10 minutes a night, so we'll use his projected stats.

Douche-Bag: BECAUSE GREEN'S STATS #@$%ING SUCK RIGHT NOW! IF THE FREAKING CELTICS WOULD FREAKING FREE FREAKING GERALD GREEN HE'D BE TAKING A DUMP ALL OVER PIERCE! THEY NEED TO PUT HIM IN LIKE KOBE AND LET HIM BE A BEAST! WHY CAN'T YOU ADMIT YOU'RE #@$%ING WRONG?

Me: There is no need to raise your voice. Green has potential, but just throwing him into the game when he is still lost on defense and still turns the ball over constantly would be a terrible decision.

Douche-Bag: OH, SCREW YOU! YOU AND YOUR STUPID TURNOVERS AND STATS! SHOW ME WHERE THE HELL GREEN EVER SHOT LOW PERCENTAGES AND TURNED THE BALL OVER. YOU JUST CAN'T ADMIT THAT GREEN $@#%'S ALL OVER PIERCE IN PRACTICE AND WOULD ON THE COURT IF HE WERE FREED. AND SHOW ME WHERE THE @#$% PIERCE EVER PASSED THE BALL TO BIG AL IN THE #@$%ING POST! JEEZ! WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG?

Me: Fine, I will. I'll show you the stats. And again, no need to yell or get upset.

Douche-Bag: I'M NOT $#%!ING UPSET! GO GET YOUR IMAGINARY STATISTICS THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING THEM UP!

***Three Minutes Later***

Me: Here are the statistics. I printed them out, as well as the post game press conference where Al, Doc, and Paul talked about feeding Big Al. Oh, and it has the stat-line there too to show that Pierce did, in fact, feed Jefferson.

Douche-Bag: GET THAT $%#$ AWAY FROM ME! I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO LOOK AT THAT $%#$! I'M RIGHT! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST #$%#ING ADMIT THAT?

Me: Alright. Argument over. You clearly win.

Douche-Bag: #$@%!!!!!

Sorry for the long post, but I hate those people. Next time you want me to look something up, don't throw it out as evidence because it doesn't support your theory.
