You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When someone says hi to me, passing in the hall for instance, and I have NO IDEA who they are...

Been happening a lot to me recently, ever since I started my new job.

Yeah man, I HATE when people are nice. I'd much rather them flip me off, spit on me, or punch me in the face.

At a new job, take that little "hey" as an opportunity to introduce yourself. Making some friends or at least knowing who you work with won't hurt.

If this is how you truly feel the south would make you reeeeeally uncomfortable.


If this wasn't a joke, you should try coming out of your shell a little bit. Especially if it is at a new job.

When people says "cent" instead of "cents" when referencing money. "You have three dollars and eighteen cent" SMH. Major gear grinder.

The new Firefox UI. Mozilla updated to 29.0 and it looks horrible. Curved tabs that blend into your color scheme on Windows 8, needlessly moving all the things you would use(new tab, new window, options) into a new menu, and changing bookmarks...

Pretty much what they do. I am still wondering why anyone would want their tabs up above the bookmarks and URL bar.

People talking and just taking their sweet time on a machine @ the gym that you are waiting for.


Shut up, get in your reps, and move on. I got a kid to pick up from daycare.

It takes up less room. I always hated tabs until they moved them.

And new house construction starting next door right when the dude finishes his blowing. I'm really regretting staying up till 3 last night.

Country music rap songs. I don't particularly care for either genre but putting the two together is just bad, really bad.

If you're wondering why I'm listening to it to begin with, the atv/motorcycle dealership has one of the country satellite radio stations playing over the speakers in the store.

Cable Companies and their effed up Customer Service.

First it was Comcast, now it's AT&T.

Since the start of this year, my bill rose up by almost $100. And they have no clue why. WTF.

There's a sexual joke somewhere in here...

When I smile, people mistake it as me being friendly. Then they wanna talk to me. I don't wanna talk to them. I don't like people.

I usually pretend to talk on the phone (irony) if there's a threat of idle conversation lurking.

You don't like it when people are friendly to you?

This reminds of one time I had a guy come up to me and while we've all had times where we were greeted by someone who we can't remember, this guy proceeded to have the most vague conversation with me. And while those conversations usually help to trigger your memory, this guy managed to give me zero clues because he kept not entirely finishing his sentences...

Let me explain, it was something like this...

Hey what's up how have you been? Are you still working at that place? Cool, do you still hang out with what's his name? Are u still watching that tv show?

He ended every sentence with a hand wave until I filled in the blanks of my job, my best friends name, and my favorite tv show... I answered yes to all of them then he mysteriously vanished and I was livid for like two days trying to guess who he was. He just did such a great job at beating around every possible bush without pinpointing anything. It was almost like a comedy skit. I even called my best friend and he had no clue who it was.

I got a good deal from my cable provider and agreed to a contract with them for a certain price every month for a specific amount of years. Just a few months later, they suddenly increased the price and said the contract is no longer valid......are they even legally allowed to do that?
