Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Wanting to get an item online, but you don't meet the minimum required amount to qualify for free shipping, so you just wait a while until you need more things.

And when that time finally comes, the original item you wanted is now out of stock.

This happened to 2 different items in 2 different stores I've checked out the last month or so.

They were mainly just gifts I was planning on getting for people which is why I had no rush to order them, but now I realized I should have, unless somehow they get more stock within the next month or so.

My brother is big into looking for deals via Home Depot and Lowe's and has mastered the art of adding a magic marker or some sort of 1-3$ item to hit it

My "go to" item at a store like Walmart is socks. I mean sooner or later I'll obviously be needing some new pairs, so might as well.

Edit-They finally had the item back in stock, but now the item I was gonna add on to it is "out of stock". They have 1 left, but it says minimum 2 you need to order which just seems redundant. They're just gonna leave 1 item in stock and nobody can ever order it?

People that think their opinion cannot be wrong and think because they preface it with a “IMO”, it gives them a green light to say something silly and not be called out/corrected.

Army worms. They're pretty much all over everybody's yards where I live.

Still not as bad as the Air Force worms.

Another one recently I encountered too.

When you go to a website or app that has a video, and the ad(s) before the video plays just fine, but then the actual video doesn't load, either due to an error or other reason. Refresh and try again, ads play, video doesn't.


At times I wonder if it's on purpose just to get people to watch all the ads while never(or after many tries) watching the video they wanted.

This is my own fault, but I hate when I have dozens of tabs and windows open and then a video auto-plays on one of the pages where I have loads of trouble finding it afterward, haha.

Can't you disable autoplay videos?

For me, I just have my sound off at all times so even of some video happens to play, I'll never notice.

I mostly want them to autoplay. I'm referring to like a news article that I'm reading, and when I get off of it momentarily then a video on it will pop up, and I'll go like: "Where did that thing just go?"

And perhaps I have something else playing in the background, like music or another video like a podcast or something.

On a similar note, when news stories have accompanying videos that auto-play even when they aren't visible on the screen and then once the video finishes it goes to a new video for a different story. I always read the story first then on the off-chance I decide I actually want to watch the video but it's on a completely different story by the time I've finished reading the write-up.

I'll add that sometimes when signing into Twitch, their front page videos auto play at max volume until I can either mute the tab or sign in.

When you take a Wednesday off of work to hang out with a female co-worker for the first time because those are mainly her only free days and your state ends up getting the remnants of a hurricane that day......ugh.

If you start the dishwasher and think that constitutes some type of chore completed or that you've contributed to the overall well being of the household cleanliness situation I view that as a character flaw and it grinds my gears.
