You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Little kids in general stress me out. I'm constantly paranoid they're going to break something and I hate it when they start crying. Even the calmer ones I've been around keep me on my toes because I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, whether it be hurting themselves by tripping or throwing a tantrum.

Just kick them in the face the moment you meet them, then they'll know what real pain is; if they start crying later feign kicking them in the face so they remember the lesson you taught them earlier. If they throw a tantrum just lock them in the emptiest room in the building where they can't do much damage until they get bored and shut up. And then kick them in the face.

This worked for me when I worked in a nursery until I got fired for "child mistreatment" or some crap they likely made up.

I'm sick of people who constantly act like everything you say is stupid, or act like you're ridiculous for saying some mundane objective thing. Like, if I am being dumb I appreciate people telling me so I can not be so, but it's a certain tone. Hard to describe.

I just know that one of my best friend's friends is that way and sometimes I want to punch her. Metaphorically. In minecraft. Semi related because said person is also like this: people who act like they're so "crazy and badass". When really they're just normal and completely average. Maybe she's confusing being annoying with being fun.

I look up that name, and the first results are gay porn

People who say things like "give me it" or "I bought you it" instead of "give it to me" or "I bought it for you" sound like children. Curiously, it doesn't seem to apply with "that" instead of "it", etc.

When people act like they own a forum. Look, you made $36 last year turning in your Stepdad's empties at the recycling place and you can't look anybody in your own house in the eye but damn you'll clutch your favorite thread like Gollum's ring and run off any new users.

It's no wonder Uncle Dad ties you upside down in the closet and beats you until you piss yourself.

I don't like Americans. The fact that these people exist infuriates me on a regular basis.
I actually destroyed one of my monitors the other night because I hate these assholes so much. I hate Americans so much that they are literally driving me to insanity.

Bunch of fucking assholes, man.

Both of you need to chill out.

A step sibling of mine acts the same way whenever I make an argument with him.

Doesn't help that they're also the same kind of person that argues in favor of socialism.

Women who treat dogs like an accessory or a toy. I don't consider my self to be a bleeding heart when it comes to animals but I have always believed being locked in a cage for 8+ hours a day is no damned life for an animal.

I once witnessed someone bring her toy-sized dog to a basketball game inside a shoulder bag and then keep it on her lap while watching her boyfriend play.

I can get being concerned about a dog being left alone for an extended period of time if they have behavior issues when left alone. However, not every place is conducive for bringing your dog, and there's no guarantee they can behave for an hour or more in an environment away from home surrounded by unfamiliar people.

Working from home for several months.

As much as my work from home stint had its advantages, I missed the regular interaction with other people.

Our trash/recycle bins are literally 10 feet on the other side of the driveway. “It’s too much” to throw them away properly apparently. Or when he sits on the couch 6 feet from the kitchen. Nearly every time I pass by he asks for some small thing he could just get up and get himself. But when I point this fact out he gets super pissy and defensive. Brings up everything he’s ever done for me in my life like that’s an excuse.

This must be a dad thing when they get older. If I'd ask my dad to get me something, I'd usually get some sort of, "You can get your own," response. If I tried that on him the next time he asked me for something, I'd get a passive-aggressive response about all the things he ever did for me and that I should be more willing to do my share to help him in return.

Another thing that pisses me off is when two people related to each other but not to me try to get me to take sides in their family drama. Leave me out of your personal conflicts and problems.

I'm not exactly sure how to describe this type of person. But you know those people who act like assholes, then when confronted turn it around on you. They sob and huff and act like they're the victim and go "I know, I'm such a bad person/I can't do anything right/everyone hates me." So instead YOU'RE the bad guy. Is that gaslighting? Either way it's stupid. Own your shit.

And it's not so much piss me off but mildly annoy me but: I have a family member who worries way too much about everything. I've learned not to small talk with them about mundane stuff sometimes because they'll interpret bringing a subject up as there being something wrong. Like the only reason I mention it is that there's a problem. Like no, I just wanted to tell you about my day... They're getting older so maybe that's part of it? I've noticed boomer parents of me and my friends are starting to show signs of aging like that.

Loud chewing makes me want death

 

[FuckedUp]

"String" cheese being called that instead of "cheese sticks" which is what they actually are.

 

[AnOminous]

Nearly indestructible packaging that is sturdier than whatever piece of shit is inside it.

"Resealable" bags that are complete garbage and don't actually reseal.

When there's a pull tab on the safety seal on something, and it just tears off instead of pulling off whatever it is supposed to pull off.

It's quite bizzare, you do have cheese sticks, but they're breaded, surely they should be called breaded cheese sticks or some shit.

My relative, whenever he hears that some politician from a party he doesn’t like has (or might have) covid, acts like it’s a good thing. Hopes they “get sicker than a dog”. I don’t know if he’s gone as far as saying they should die but he acts like it’s only karma they got sick because he doesn’t like them. What a kind guy.

I don’t know. Maybe I just don’t hate a lot of people I know personally (except maybe aforementioned relative) but I don’t relish in wishing karmic retribution and potential death on people I disagree with.

Wanting all politicians to die sounds relatable as fuck, tbh. Fuck off, FBI.

when people put almonds in brownies. Why? It's fucking disgusting.

It's called string cheese because it's fibrous and you can tear it apart in strings.

 

[LMFAOForgotPw]

Okay, this is the dumbest shit that makes me tism. Someone ask me a question about something I’m knowledgeable in and then is like “nah, I’m just gonna do Xyz” why the fuck did you ask me then?

If it’s really an opinion thing and what I mentioned is more expensive I get it. When its like hey doc (I’m not a doctor) I have xyz wrong with me and then doc says “losing weight might help” and getting upset with that or just ignoring it. Must be a fatphobic Doctor I’ll ignore everything.

Fuck, this one pisses me off too - people that can’t fucking listen to their doctors. Like, it ain’t usually that hard and if it is you should probably really listen. Nah, I know I had surgery, but this milk jug is fine...

Not saying to blindly listen to a single doctor/authority figure, but things like hey do these exercises to fix this pain.

Somewhat along the same lines but when a person lends something to someone and say "I borrowed you that". It makes me want to beat them to death with a dictionary and leave the definition of the word "lent" on their corpse.
