You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I understand this may pose an issue to classic rock guys, but I hate when I'm attending a sporting event and a very high pressure, high stakes, high tension, clutch moment is upon us. The crowd is buzzing and teams are emerging from their time-out huddles. Suddenly, we hear bells begin to chime over the P.A. speakers. And my first thought is always, "Oh snap, it's getting real, Metallica's going to set this place off!". Then, the bells continue to chime and it turns out to be AC/DC's "Hell's Bells", which does a lot less for my psyche than the intensity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

I get this:

But I want this:

Also, I hate the majority of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" is 1/100th as intense as its intro. Such a letdown.

I don't agree with the "play metallica" part cause I can't stand that song or the AC/DC one but it's really annoying hearing the same songs in every stadium/arena in the country. If it's not the same classic rock it's some extremely old, overplayed rap song.

Or new, overplayed pop song. Specifically one created by a certain Korean singer.

But is it fair to blame employees who are used to hitting 91 before dialing regular numbers with area codes on a regular basis to forget that before coming across the need to dial a 1-800 number?

I agree, making the mistake on multiple occasions would be a problem, but I don't see how it couldn't be an honest mistake either. Using 91 to dial out is pretty dumb.

Yes, it is fair to blame the employee.

All you're doing is adding a 9 to the beginning. It isn't rocket science to know you don't need to dial two 1s.

Intelligent design avoids the possibility of it ever occurring in the first place, accidental or otherwise.

Not the same level but my high school's name started with an "X" so for every sport each team would come out to DMX's "X gon' give it to ya".

I couldnt stand that **** buy the third game we played at home. Then I realized every sport at the school did it too. UGH.

Dumb IT Departments.

I've worked with some dumb people in my lifetime, but this one takes the cake.

My wife's IT Dept just upgraded to VoIP phones.

Thing is, they programmed the phones, so in order to dial out.. you have to dial "91"

Guess how many times people called the cops?

Worst part? Their IT refuse to change it and has told people that if they accidently call the line, they should stay on and tell the dispatcher that they dialed by mistake.

Most idiotic thing I've ever heard of.

1. Sounds like that the telecom department and not IT. There is a difference.

2. That's not uncommon at all. My high school, college and where I now work you have to dial 9 to get out and then 1 if it's long distance. Google "dialing 9 to get outside" and you get 32.5 million results...

IT/Telecom departments can only dumb it down so much for employees who don't know how to do basic technology functions for their job.

Random network issues that disconnect games on NBA 2K13 (PS3)

No lag, no nothing, and out of nowhere, there's a sudden network issue that allows gameplay to be cut short? BS.

Cab drivers who are too talkative and eager to get a conversation going. I know it helps with the tips, and keeping the job relatively upbeat. But seriously lets just get through this thing with as little unnecessary small talk as possible and keep it moving.

Took a cab to from the airport and after I told my destination the guy didnt say a word the whole ride. Extra tip just for the peace and quiet.

How'd I ever forget this one..

People who leave fans on in the weight room. I hate that crap.

Speaking of the gym, old men who feel like they are supposed to walk around naked in the locker room is the worst thing about going to a gym.

I can't stand how gyms can be so territorial. Where I go, you have guys who will leave their protein shakes/water at the bench press, but will be working out across the room. It's like a dog pissing to mark it's territory; you don't dare move their stuff or you'll get the stink-eye.

Interesting, usually it is the other way around. Usually it the men who don't know how to sort.

When you go to help somebody move and half their crap isn't even packed yet. So what you thought would a few hour thing, turn out to be an all day thing.
