You know what really grinds my gears? Phone calls. How am I going to solve a visual problem for you over the phone?

You know what really grings my gears? People who repeat the same question, expecting a different answer. Just because you word it differently, doesn't mean the answer is going to be any different. I understood YOU the first time, apparently you didn't.

You know what really grinds my gears? Waking me up in the middle of the night with the wrong number. You're lucky I don't know you, I would set your car on fire, just so I could sleep peacefully when I get back to bed. :squint:

I worked it for the full day, and at the end as we were locking up, I just told them no thank you.

Did you read my thread?

You know what really grinds my gears...

When people slam my trunk, hit my center console, or kick my seat immediately after I tell them not to or be careful.

and people that pass a flock of cars pulled over when there is a fire truck/ambulance coming.

I might think you're a person with a great personality and cool to hang out with but my opinion of you as far as being fat would not change. There is no reason for it unless you have a thyroid issue or Prada Willi syndrome.

People that don't know how to properly use ratchet straps.

Girls wearing leggins/spandex as pants that clearly should not be wearing anything remotely that tight. Thanks, now I can't eat cottage cheese for a month, land whale.

BET. I heard an advertisement on the radio for a show that would be airing on BET called "Black Girls Rock". Their slogan was "black girls rock: because they have to". Really? They have to? I know quite a few that don't rock. That s*** sounds racist. What if there was a show called "White women kick a**"? Blacks would be up in arms (likely Glocks).

People who stalk my car.

I went into a Autozone last night (DAMN YOU DST ENDING.. oh wait..waking up is easier now) to buy some wipers. As I pulled into the parking lot I saw there was another jdm-tyte dorifto-spec 240sx in the lot so I parked far away from it. Made my purchase and was just about to walk out the door when I look outside and see this guy in a hoodie standing 4ft away from my car and pacing back and forth/looking it over. I waited till he came back in the store so I could get in my car in peace. I guess I wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't at night. No, wait... it annoys me in the daytime too. "YO YOU GOT A SR IN THAT?" :argh

Does this mean I'm getting old?

You know what really grinds my gears:

People that don't merge onto any highway/interstate/connecting road at 55mph, unless a sign says, merge your slow pos, we're all waiting. Or try to punch it to get on the road. Ur merging, yield.

And people that say the phrase, "At any rate.."
I get so pissed, im pissed now cause its staring back at me

People are afraid to merge because they're afraid of the world. They ought to stick to side streets.

Same ol', same ol'. Rude people. Children who misbehave in public. Parents who let them get away with it.

Preach on! Despite living in NASCAR central people around here try to merge into 50 mph traffic doing 15 mph here instead of acting like a driver leaving pit road. :tisk:

- I hate when people hack up lugies or snort allllll the time (my brother). It makes me gag everytime. Like I'll be on the phone with my bro and he'll just be coughing and hacking 50 times in a 2 minute time span. One time he even threw up. Its even worse when a girl does it. NOT HOT
- I hate cigarette smoke. That s*** stinks!!
- I hate people on MWx that camp relentlessly and/or when you're face to face, they go prone and kill you
- I hate drivers that cant drive of course
- As stated, I hate when parents have 5+ children running around loud as hell and throwing crap. Living in Northern VA, it's everywhere. Not only that but the kids are all 9 months apart with a pregnant mom that's 19. I just don't get that. I mean why would someone young want that many life-ruiners with a dad that wont stick around. F*** that.
- I hate Burger King
- I hate people that have absolutely no respect or consideration for others in even the simplest situations like traffic, holding a door open, or talking about someones life.
- I hate people that use other people ex. women that find military men and get pregnant to lock the relationship and think they can have a paid for life by the army
- I hate bi***es that are straight b***es
- I hate my P.O.S. 240

@Jesda

Me too.

@alms24

I love inconsiderate people the most that are texting or too busy, or to inconsiderate to press the gas pedal when everyone has left infront of them, and theirs a huge line of people behind them. Or when you're trying to get into the turning lane, mostly on the right, and you FINALLY get in it before the light changes only to see two idiots or more 3-4 car lengths back from the person infront of them.

Totally, inconsiderate. Oh and black females are the ABSOLUTE WORSE. I seen this idiot black female in a van one time, and I could not even believe she had a drivers licenses. Or people who don't wanna press the brakes till the last minute in the morning hours like their brain isn't turned on "drive mode" yet, and brakes don't apply until the light is completely red and they are 10 feet away from it.

I'm so tired of spending money, and driving.

Lol, its multiple ones. Im not saying all are bad. I've came across a few that actually know how to drive. And don't think I'm racist at all. I date black girls, and was in a relationship with one for over a year. My customers are all black, mostly women, and I perfer to dip into the chocolate.

But most can't drive. Take that back, most women drivers, can't drive. And typically the inconsiderate ones are females.

As the hole digs deeper..........

You know what really grinds my gears? People who use the "I dated an *X* person" or "I have an *X* friend" as an argument to prove they aren't racist/sexist/bigoted/etc. If you feel the need to explain like that, newsflash: you're probably a bigot...
