You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

The longer you converse via text message I feel like you run the risk of the sudden drop offs and extended wait times. The point of texting, to me, is that yeah I'm gonna talk to you, but I'm not gonna stop everything just to text you every couple of minutes. If you want to talk then call, but if you don't call then don't get upset when I'm busy doing other things and don't get back to you within 10 minutes.

When you break some of the plastic spindles on your dvd case so the disc doesn't sit in it properly.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Terrible texters.

People who text first with nothing to talk about

People who text first and take 7 weeks to text you back the first time

People who "never have their phone near them" but are phone crackheads when you see them in person

People who have a different number every month

People who get offended when you respond "who is this?" When they change their number

People who send one word texts

People who are the wrsot seplelrs wehn tehy txet its lkie are you fearinkg sreiuos? Who the hlel is sppouse to raed tihs?

People who read their texts out loud as to draw attention to themselves

People who don't understand how conversations work

People who would rather text than call about important matters. Dont text me "come quick, John broke his leg and is losing blood" you may want to call me about that...

And more people who do text related things I cant stand!

Ok.

Spoiler

I hate that even more when I send long messages about something important just to get an "Ok".

I hate this also. I will send a very thorough email to a client or colleague expecting some input and all I get back is "Thanks!"

I have no idea why, but when people post resign instead of re-sign. It just annoys me for some reason.

Maybe they actually want Drew Brees to resign from the Saints and stick to building Jimmy John's restaurants.

When people write huge, long posts to start threads and then within the next 3 posts, someone unnecessarily quotes the entire thing just to reply with one or two sentences.

This bothered me on NCAAF for the PS2 a few years back. I wasn't trying to quit

I've mentioned this in here before but I just want to say it again...

People who make turns from the lane going opposite the turn lane. If you were gonna turn why not get in the turn lane in the first place instead of running the risk of causing an accident?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

What the heck it's late I'm bored, might as well add a few of these.

- When people pronounce the Shoe/Athletic Wear company Nike, as Nyke, when it is actually supposed to be Ni-kee. Small gripe not that bad that I will call it out, just a minor annoyance.

- When you're trying to talk to an attractive female in a 1 on 1 type conversation, but somehow either her annoying friend keeps showing up and butting in, or some annoying dude that hangs around either your friend/or hers keeps jumping in between and hitting on her. Either way you get **** blocked, and it just disrupts your flow making you give up.

- When you're eating a Banana, you peel it and half of it is all Brownish and mushy. Or when you're eating a Sandwich and it's just sloppily put together and all the toppings, condiments keep on falling, dripping out of the Sandwich. You end up using a ton of Napkins.

- When you get all your stuff, snacks, etc set up by your computer desk you take a relaxing seat get all comfortable and ready to lounge around... and you forget something.

To piggyback on this, when people quote the entire original post at all. If you reply, we'll probably be able to assume you're replying to the original post if you don't quote someone else.
