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

When they misspell the simplest things. It was a cake says "Happy Easter." How the fuck do you spell Easter as Eester?
 
I hate it when people claim they're introverts, but they're obviously extroverts. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with them being extroverts. I just wish they really understood what being an introvert meant. My coworkers seem to have a very low threshold for what makes someone an introvert. For example, wanting to stay home and relax on the weekend makes you an introvert.

Or worse than this (to me) is when introverts are called "antisocial" when they're simply more or less asocial. Antisocial behaviours are doing things like accosting people, theft, picking fights, etc. Wanting to be left alone most of the time is not "antisocial."

I actually agree with you and have experienced that too. It's a sad statement on our society when something as harmless as wanting to be left alone is treated as a bad thing.

How about the social media tread of "being an introvert" but being exaggerated, "relatable," assholes?

I think that more than anything it's (being "antisocial") an accusation often tossed around by those who are needy and/or insecure. I don't even necessarily mean that as an insult to those people. It's just that if they're unsure of how to perceive other people it's an easy way to self soothe, sort of like the trope of the person who hits on someone only to not have them be interested so their cope is that it means that they (the person who didn't reciprocate) must be gay/a lesbian.

On a broader scale, when people aren't that big into socializing a lot, it's just easier to explain it away as "there must be something wrong with them." Then from there it can be broken down into how a bunch of different explanations that usually likely don't even hold weight. Does the person look like Henry Cavill? "He's not antisocial, he's just a lone wolf," or in internet brain cancer terms: "He's a sigma," etc.
 
I’m getting real tired of politicians who actively despise the people they serve. They’ve always been cheap whores, sure—and somehow proud of it—but now it's as of God personally scribbled them into Revelations.

Zion Don is an obvious example, but Cuomo is running for mayor almost certainly to get revenge on the city that banished and humiliated him. Also, AOC is 30 years younger and about 300 times more adored so he's seething under his breath.

No, it's done by morons who don't understand the difference between asocial and antisocial. It's same dumdums who think every social slight equates to racism, because prejudice, sectarianism, racialism, etc., are too confusing.

Your initial comment was pretty great and I wish more people would see it and start using the correct terminology, which will never happen.
 
Why is there winter weather now? It is late April.

I don't like it when winter overstays the welcome.

(and winter wasn't welcome to me in the 1st place)

Made my first bonfire of the year the other night.

There was still crusted ice chunks in the bottom of the firepit ring.

And unfortunately almost my entire crew bitched out and played on their phones indoors in lieu of joining me even though it was a very nice dry night.

Thread tax: When retail cashiers simply tell you that you are wrong when you point out that a discount or promotional offer isn't ringing through properly.

No price checks or benefit of the doubt. They just cocksuredly declare you are wrong to your face and ask you if you want to take it or leave it.

They are so sure of themselves mostly being incorrect when you were the one actually staring at the sticker price on the shelf not two minutes ago.

I need to do that. I'm so used to antisocial being used incorrectly that I do it too. And I see your point overall.

I hate the so-called "fear of missing out" or FOMO. Certain coworkers of mine are severely afflicted with this. I really don't get why they care so much.
 
People asking you a question then continuing to talk over you while you're answering their question. Shut the fuck up and let me give you an answer if you're asking.
God, people in general who talk while walking away need to get a fucking throttling. Never mind the complete disrespect, do people not understand how sound work?

AND THEN these fuckers proceed to tell other people or even your own self what your response was even though you were never able to spit it out.
No Barb, I did not say that it was okay to contact the vendor. I really didn't. Please don't contact the vendor.
