You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

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 Just a few months later, they suddenly increased the price and said the contract is no longer valid......are they even legally allowed to do that?

The contract most likely said they can increase the price. Most companies that you have to sign a contract with have it in the terms and conditions.

So what's even the point of signing a contract then if any company out they can raise it by however much they want, at any given moment?

How are they even able to get away with having stuff like that in a contract.

It's their contract. They can put whatever they want in it.

It's the consumers fault for not reading the contract.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

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.

You were Bluetooth hacked and personally gave them a million password clues while they were doing it. But you got to meet Patrick Jane!

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

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.

Sorry, I should have clarified my post. I worded it poorly. When they call me by name: "Hi, Adam!"

They know who I am, but I feel like I have never seen them before in my life.

i.e. I have met them at some point, but completely forgot their name/who they are. So the gear grinder is me being terrible with names, not others being friendly

You been looking at the best fans St. Louis twitter account?
There was a lot of calling Albert Pujols a trader after he hit #500.

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.

And type of misspelling like that. There/they're/their, all that garbage, I hate when people mess it up. Except principle and principal, I still can't figure that **** out. All I know is one of em I visited a lot back in the day.

Makes more sense now. I hate that too. At my work we have nametags so sometimes you'll get random customers talking like they know you... "Hey Nick, working hard or hardly workin??" Or they'll go to another staff member and throw my name around with some bs like I told them they could do something that's against the rules.
