Wow. That's weird, GR. I have DirecTV and nothing like that has happened to us here.

But we have a converter that gets our local stations and our NBC signal just went out for no reason. We get it in the other room though, so at least that's something. I think it's because they put up a new Internet tower and it messed with our signal. We get our other regular TV channels fine though, just not the NBC one.

What else grinds my gears: The heat. Gah, it's so hot out right now!

What grinds my gears was havin to miss RAW tonight! Oh well thank goodness for dvr!

I hate when I click on something I think is an article but turns out to be a video or podcast. I'd rather read, honestly.

what's that from?

so this thread made a come back.

I hate people who zig-zag all over the highway. So distracting.

Really? I prefer either or myself

Semi trucks that speed on the highway. Seriously?

Illinois drivers. They think they own the road.

Illinois Nazis.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Oh i saw somebody do that before. First they were on one side then they quickly pulled over to the other side and then back to the lane they were in. What's their deal? I don't know.

Somebody's attitude (which i gotta deal with every bloody day) is really starting to tick me off. And they act like they barely get any damn sleep when they get more sleep than i do. Mr. Grumpy McSourpuss he is.

Most of the time I'm on a computer with no speakers OR I have to have mine turned down for one reason or another. So I'd rather read than be dependent on watching something I won't be able to get much information from.

I hate it when people chew their food in my ear. My cousin knew that I hated that so, of course, she did it to make me mad.
I also hate people who think Batman is better then every other superhero out there and could kick anyone's ass. I mean he is good and I like him but I don't think he's the best superhero ever.
I hate people who say fanfic writers are just Mary Sue making, self inserters who write to fulfill some fantasy. I, among many others, write because I like the subject matter and want to see the characters go through another new adventure or see a new take on a scenario.
The term "friendzone" also irritates me.

And finally, and this one grinds my gears more then any other, improper spelling. I can understand if you left a letter out or something minor but da*n i'd like to read what you wrote, not try to decipher it like it's a puzzle or something!

People who have an anecdote to pull out for every situation, regardless of the conversation. Not only are they almost 100% of the time full of sh*t, but they seem completely oblivious to the fact that no one is buying their nonsense.

Everyone tells bullsh*t stories, especially on the Internet, but some people never seem to grow out of that phase. The older a person gets the sadder it gets when they need to tell tall tales for attention.

Oh ok that makes sense

Ah, yes, because game shows are just so much more important than a serious shooting where people have lost their lives. :roll:

What grinds my gears: When people suddenly leave on my local news station and are replaced with other people abruptly. There was a weather guy named Frank Waugh from WNDU who was really cool, and he just left and is in Kansas now. He's been replaced, and while I can't really judge the new guy yet, it sucks that I have to get acquainted with someone when I'm so used to Frank. I'm going to miss him.

When someone calls me, they know exactly when I'm gonna answer, because half a second before they decide to stop calling. I think Nyarlathotep has something against me, and so does Shub-Niggurath, obviously.

Double negative and people who say, "I seen ____."

I seen some posts I ain't got no time to read.
