You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I think I said something about how pre-draft scouting nonsense jargon annoyed me and here's an example:

How the **** is your upper body quiet or loud?

It's a phrase that I've heard in sports often. Obviously it doesn't mean he's being audibly loud; that's why it's in quotes.

It means he has too many moving parts in his throwing motion and he needs to simplify it. The simpler your motion the easier it will be to replicate perfectly 600 times a season.

I know what it's referring to, what's annoying is that they make up a buzzword/phrase instead of just saying "he moves his upper body too much".

When headshots don't instantly kill things in videogames. Im looking at you Fallout, Gears of War, Resident Evil, Uncharted etc etc.

When the drive-thru guy at McD's doesn't know how to count.

My total came out to $4.41.

I looked and saw I had $.16, so I gave the guy $5.16.

He looks and goes "It's 41 cents"

I reply back, I know, I gave you $5.16, so I can get 3 quarters back.

"Yes, but it's 41 cents, you only gave me........ 16 cents."

I didn't say a word, as I was pretty amazed by the stupidity for just a bacon egg and cheese sandwich.

Finally, after realizing that I'm not saying another word, he punches it in the register.

The MACHINE automatically dispenses the change for him. All he has to do is grab it and give it to me.

Instead, he grabs an extra nickel, and says, "here's your change 80 cents."

What the hell did I just witness.

The overuse of the word Posterize.

I brought this up before, McDonald's love of hiring stupid people is perennially frustrating.

Too many .50 cal sniper shots, having the guy turn around and gun me down in Battlefield and COD...

I gotta give the guy a break because I didn't know people did stuff like that before I worked a register.

I've never had someone round it out to .75 cents, though. But yeah, all he had to do was punch it in and it shows you change amount.

I've always just broke my dollars and threw the change in a jar or my car. It's like winning the lottery!

Was he supposed to assume that you wanted 3 quarters back?

I mean, that's pretty random. Most people give change so they can get dollar bills back...not coins.

He should've thrown 4 dimes and 6 nickels and 5 pennies back at you laughing while you tried to pick them up off your car floor.

When people talk over you and interrupt you when you're trying to tell them something.

Anxiety and the such.

Someone's taking longer than usual to get home and talk to you on Facebook? Well ****, they must be dead.

You think they're going to hire people straight out of the Ivy League?? lol

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When people talk over you and interrupt you when you're trying to tell them something.

Even worse is when two people are arguing, one interrupts, and the original speaker gets all loud and obnoxious "Excuse me I'm still talking thank you! Excuse me I'm still talking thank you!" and just repeats whatever "filler" line they were using until the other person shuts up. It's like people think the loudest person wins the argument by default, regardless of the dialogue.

lol I hate to admit it but pretty much any time something annoying happens my first thought is how to phrase it in the YKWRGMG thread. Even if I don't end up posting it, I word it out in my head.
