    Okay, then I'll rephrase:

    I've been behind a guy in line at the Costco gas station once before who did his process four times before I got out of my car to help him, though at that point an employee came over to help him as well. And for the record, at Costco you have to first insert your Costco card then your debit/credit card. So I sat behind watching eight swipes and a confused looking individual.

    So it grinds my gears that I have to wait for those who don't know what works.

    It's just a dumb system. If it doesn't work, they should change the prompt screen.

      But what's the fun in that? What are we to complain about if we just go through life avoiding grinding of gears? How will I get my blood pressure to elevate?

          I hate it when that happens. Consider my gears very ground (grinded?)!

            Traffic.

            I understand that it happens but even when the back and side roads are jammed up :

              Bittersweet thing that I don't hold onto grudges that long. It's nice that I just drop stuff fairly quickly at times, but then it seems like doing so also let's people unjustifiably off the hook when there's probably reasoning to still be mad at them.

              Especially when it comes to helping people. Who doesn't want to feel like they're needed? But seems like when I help certain people, no matter my good intent/effort, they'll get mad over something, make me regret helping them,and somehow later on I'll want to help them still and everything repeats.

                  all the changing back and forth from standard time to daylight savings.
                  I have never adjusted easily, it takes me about a week to acclimate.
                  and the week before the change I'm stressing over the upcoming change.
                  thats a month out of every 12 of extra stress that I could do without.
                  its ***** with me enough I'd seriously consider moving to Arizona

                    I'm fine with gaining an hour in the fall. Losing an hour in the spring sucks.

                      You want to know what really grinds my gears? Gears.

                      Interlocking teeth and all that rotating around making noise. Not to mention what can happen if you get caught in one..right? No thanks, man.

                        There's good and bads about both.

                        Fall you gain an hour so for first little bit it's like you have extra time. But it also means it gets darker sooner in the evening.

                        Spring you lose an hour so you might be behind for first few dayss, but then it also means by evening it'll still be bright.

                            I always have preferred springing forward to falling back. Like it being still light outside when I get home from work.

                              Ya, and it also means weather (should be) getting warmer/better(except in the case of this year where it's gonna be worse for the next week or so, like right now for example,first snow in a month).

                              I know some people on this site don't like it, but I like when it's sunny until 8-9pm. Makes you feel more alive compared to winters when sun slowly starts going down after 4. Summer evenings are awesome.

                                Oh I love it being lighter later, and warmer!

                                Getting to be outside, play with the kids, and even working on the yard after getting home from work.

                                Plus, during the summer I get a chance to play golf after work.
