You know what really grinds my gears?

OOOooooooooooooooooooooo


It grinds my gears when you hold the door for somebody and they don't say thank you. Very similar to the letting someone in above.

So what happens when you open multiple doors, do you expect a thank you per door, or one thank you to cover every door?

Wow, with a little ad libbing I just wrote an episode of Seinfeld.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I'd say one thank you is good enough to cover multiple doors in a row. Now if it goes door...long walk....door, two is better with the second one also said with a smile.

Careful, Mike and Jake Long are like this *crosses fingers tightly*. Jake won't want to play for the Saints if he finds out there's a Saints fan dissing his boy.

It's all good. We can just have Glen Dorsey.

Isn't it required for your first round picks to get injured?

It doesn't really matter who you draft.

Yeah, but multiple doors is also extra tricky because it involves an opening of the first door, then you have to hurry and pass them back up to open the other door...it's very akward...unless you open the first door and kind of pass it to them and then fully open the second door. In that case, I think one Thank You suffices.

Also, I think there should be a rule that if you are kind enough to hold a door open for someone to a place that has a line, they should probably offer you to go ahead of them in line (because you were going to beat them there if not for your kind gesture). The bank is the key one. You go to the bank and there are 5 people in line. You would have been number 6, but because you were polite and opened the door, you get knocked to number 7. I think they should return the favor by letting you cut them in line.

But here is another question...How close does the person have to be to the door for you to wait for them to open it for them? 10 feet? 20 Feet? There is nothing more akward than being in that "No-Mans land" where if you do wait, it feels like your waiting far too long and if you don't wait, you kind of feel like a jerk. And then you feel that if you look backwards to get the measurement and they see you than you are obligated to open the door, otherwise, you really feel like your just dissing them completely.

Touche.

If I were you, I'd be expecting a visit from Night Man tonight.

That's cool. It's just like two loving brothers.

What grinds mine? Bitter fans who act in an ignorant manner. Note to all football fans: zero dollars from tuition, books, academic scholarships, alumni donations to the school go to pay Nick Saban's salary at Alabama. ZERO. The football program and alumni pay for it. I nearly beat the s*** out of an Ole Miss student who said "well atleast we don't use our education money to pay for a coach". Hey doofus, the only money I've given to Saban is maybe, 50 cents of my ticket money I paid back in August.

I'm also tired of bandwagon fans. Saw a guy at the bar Saturday night with a Red Sox hat on. He walked straight past the TV and never even glanced at the Indians-Sox game.

Or maybe he had recorded the game and didn't want the score to be spoiled.

When did Mike Hart change his name to Darren McFadden?

If Mike isn't the best he's certainly top 3-5.

Never said he wasn't.

LOL, I do that with my buddies everytime we hang out. We always have banter in which we discuss the most ******** things.

I think last week was the discussion of if the three of us had plans to go out to eat and one of us wanted to bring someone with us, should we discuss it first with the other two guys to make sure it's cool?

We've also had similar discussion talking about when do you say 'bless you' after a sneeze, and what happens if there's numerous sneezes? Do you say bless you after every single one of them?

And to answer your question, I would say that if someone opens two doors, you wait until the 2nd door is opened for you before saying thank you. Saying thank you is a must though. But two seems very repetitive.

It really grinds my gears when a topic called "You know what really grinds my gears?" turns into a debate over who the best running back in college is

My wife has sneeze attacks and she knows that she get's only one "Bless You." I've explained that it doesn't make sense to say it 5,10 or 15 times in a row when she goes on a rampage.

Man, but what happens if you are anticipating the second opening, but it doesn't come....then you've missed your opportunity to say thanks and you kind of look like the a-hole that grinds peoples gears. But if they're close enough ususally you can tell what the other persons intentions are ahead of time.
