What grinds your gears?

Lady Asphyxia · Apr 24, 2007, 11:23 PM

We all have soemthing that pisses us off. Some people hate it when you don't chew wtih your mouth closed. Some hate it when people laugh all the time. (Usualy females.) But what pisses you off?

What pisses me off, is when people just don't know when to shet up and when my cell phone rongs non-stop....for what?! Just to say hello and have nothing to say afterwards? I have other things too...but that's just to start off with conversation.

Now that folks, is what grinds my gears.

So the question is, what grinds your? Tell us what and give an example of a real life event where something/someone grinds your gears.

What really grinds my gears?

You would have to take a seat and get some popcorn if you wanted them all.

What can really really piss me off, is someone talking a lot about something they have no idea about really. They never experienced, they never really looked into, except getting second hand info from people who arn't even necesarrily reliable sources, but acting as if it is/theirs.

A friend would always go on and on about his drinking, sex, drugs, how tolerant the body was. He would back this up with examples that dealt with himself. More than once I decided to follow him on his crusade and see first hand how these theories stacked up. After I learned how much of a lightweight, no tolerent virgin he was...well it really made me pissed off and ashamed at myself for actually wanting to believe in the stories.

That is what really grinds my gears!

Now that lady and gents is what you call a piss off moment.

That is another matter that pisses me off. A third would be, when your friends (Mostly females) know that you like a person and tell them to keep silent about the situation. What do they do? They go to that person, ask him/her how that person feels about you(Makes it so obvious) or if you're not so lucky; your friend will straight up tell him/her how you feel. Friends do this thinking that they are helping, but in reality they're just making it worst. If you wanted them to know that you like that person, then you would have told them (If you feel ready.). This was mostly in my high school years though, mere flash backs (Not so long ago though...).

And that is what grinds my gears.

For me it is hard to get to that point.... I tolerate a lot of stuff. However there are three things that I cannot handle very well.... and those get me almost instantly:

1. Racism...

when people make jokes about any kind of person just because they are different or foreigners. I don't get so mad when it is towards me... but I cannot handle to see people doing it to another person.

2. Abusers: any kind of bully I don't keep up with it.... and if the person who is a victim is quiet and stuff more it gets me mad! not for the quiet person but for the cowardy of the bully... towards me... I don't care... bubt towards another person....

3. people hurting animals

..... no need to explain that one....

hummmm to that also I can add: unjustice.....

So in fact there are 4 things then....

Those are very strong points in everday life. Sadly, those type of situations can't be stopped...but we can at least reduce it.

Well there's quite a few things that get at me. But what REALLY grinds my gears is when people of African American decent try to get free stuff, or discounts; based on the fact that I'm black! (well, I'm mixed really)

"Aww, c'mon man! You supposed to be my people! You my brotha, my n***a! Hook me up, homie!"

REALLY?? First of all, I'm NOBODY'S n***a!! Secondly, I don't know you, so don't call me brother! I have six, I don't need another one. Just because I share the same ethnic background doesn't mean I'm gonna just risk my job, or my integrity for some ghetto-fabulous, hoodlum/thug.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what grinds my gears.

What grinds my gears?
Right now all I can think up are girls who care about nothing else than what they're wearing and how they look, girls who're talking friendly to everyone and then talks bad about them behind their backs with the next person they meet... I just hate that kind of people... I can't stand their presence, I fell like they're laughing about me just than... And I'm sure they don't like my type- shy, smart, cute and if you're pretty (this word... didy you know that there is aword in latvian "pretigs" witch means disgusting, I aleays feel like saying something bad. Ok...back to the theme

) too... beter watch out!!!

What grind my gears is that in theaters mothers bring their children and they cry during the movie, I should bring my dog if they gonna bring in a baby in a theatre to watch a movie.

Shermanator · Apr 25, 2007, 12:05 PM

what grinds my gears is:
1. Racism
2. STUPID QUESTIONS THAT IVE ALREADY ANSWERED! when people ask the same question over and over or try to ask the same thing in a different way. how many times do i need to answer it? i would mind if they spread it out but not 20 times in 30 mins!

rksamurai · Apr 25, 2007, 01:53 PM

I would have to say when my brother chews balloons.. I hate that noise! and people that try to pick fights with me and people that try to tell me what to do. I cant stand a lot of the people at my school because they are like snobby. I dont like people who are like that.
