So I'll amend my gear grinder: Feel free to rip the idiot, non-city employee, plow guys.

They are probably technically city employees, but I know in NE Ohio, and it seems like it here, they will contract companies (and possibly individuals) to plow side streets and what not during winter. The city equipment tends to focus on the main streets and interstates. I'm guessing most of them get contracts by taking the lowest price. Not all of them were jerks, but I've seen my share over the years of people that probably had no business doing it. Probably hurts their pay if their employee took less money just to get a contract.

When the topic of discussion is something you can't relate to. Like snow plows. I live where snow happens between zero and 3 times a year, and the schools shut down if there is enough snow to mess with the roads. (half inch, etc). or if it's something you can't relate to in general, like growing old, or fashion

When people use nick names to refer to players on certain sports teams and I have no idea who they are talking about. Especially when they use initials instead of typin go the name out. This is a big issue for me in the NBA forums

It could have been worse. It could have been human crap. And you could've been barefoot.

....and it could have been your own.
(and you thought you only fell asleep on your front lawn after that bar crawl last night!)
Now you know why Mrs. Jones was looking at you funny all day.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Three grinders...all involve driving.

1. I know they put signal lights on your $40,000.00 SUV and even that $20,000.00 Toyota. Try using them once in a while.

2. Do you really need to go from the right lane doing 45 MPH....to the middle lane(DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME) doing 45 MPH?

3.Wearing a hoodie while driving. You already SUCK at driving.....it's not helping that you are cutting off your peripheral vision while trying to(with limited success) operate a motor vehicle. You can put the hood down for the 15 minutes you are driving.
You can go back to trying to look like a tough guy when you reach your destination.
Thanks.

(as you can tell....I probably do way too much driving! )

You're spot on Knight.

Every single day I see someone not use their signal. Sometimes it doesn't really matter, other times if I wasn't paying attention, I could have rear ended them.

I really wish I could rear end these people and when they get all salty that I wrecked their car, I'd just shrug and say should've used your signal.

Doesn't work like that, but maybe it would teach them a lesson. It's the simplest of motions to hit that signal lever.

It just comes down to they don't care about other people on the road. There's some kind of microcosm of society in the way people drive. Signals are a necessary courtesy, and it just shows with how often people don't use them what kind of people are in this world. Inconsiderate and selfish to a degree where it's literally dangerous.

It's so unsurprising that a signal used only to warn OTHER drivers is so often unused.

I even use my signals when I'm the only vehicle in sight just out of habit.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I do too. I've tried to not do it, but I feel dirty. I don't wanna give myself a chance to pick up a bad habit.

When "sexy" is used to refer to anything not relating to humans or human attraction, e.g. "OMG that catch was sexy!", "Damn, this PS4 is so sexy."

Heck....I even signal when I responding with the Fire Truck!(even though everyone is supposed to "Keep Back 200 Feet" and pull over on both sides of the road when they see an emergency vehicle approaching!...YEAH RIGHT...that happens!)
