What "grinds your gears" ?

[Anarchistguy]

Hello :)

I was wondering, what pisses you off in this "wonderful" world we live in?

And please people, try not to offend anyone.

Thanks

[Barkworm]

Racism. I'd lie if I said that I'm without any prejudice but the idea of racial superiority is the dumbest thing ever.

[Anarky]

I think I can narrow my list down to two really general sounding words: Stupidity and Ignorance.

Stupidity:I mean, we've got the internet, more or less good schools and what do people do? The remain stupid because they want to. And they refuse to gain any more knowledge than absolutely necessary (I wonder how a lot of people haven't forgot how to breathe...). Thing is, we all have the possibilities to get smarter, to gain knowledge, to actually use it. Why the hell don't they just do it? It's not even difficult when you have things like Wikipedia at hand.

Ignorance: Sure, Orwell says that Ignorance is Bliss... but hey, he's describing a totally f***ed up society. And what do people do? ... exactly.

Other than those two major things, there's minor stuff like housework or workwork (how I hate my current job, especially since I was offered a new, better one starting tomorrow, but I am tied to that damned contract), then there's money.

Actually, it's mostly human traits that annoy me, the f***-system is pretty far down on my list of "things to hate"... at least this week.

EDIT: Hehe, one thing that just bugs me all the time: I just can't find time to read my books.

[KROW]

You ever encounter those people who pick on you in some way, whether it be verbally or physically or otherwise, and you confront them in a calm manner to ask why they're doing what they're doing and try to talk to them in hopes of stopping such things from happening again, but they just smile at you and say nothing, and keep doing it as soon as they have the chance again?

I swear, I just want to unleash some violence on those vermin.

[The Stryker]

Im normally a happy person but this really pisses me off...i know it seems like a joke but seriously...i hate this crap.

You know those little black rocks in sunflower seed bags that taste horrible?...ARGH!!!

That and Racist people....i've been mistaken for a gardener too many times.
There is no superior race.....except for black people, Yo

:p

And i hate the fact that no one likes me...Come on! im loveable..right?

[Sewer Bull]

* The fact I have to die one day and of that there's no help. Life's so good in general.
* The fact my internet connection is bitching with me tonight and disconnects me once in a while.

[Anarchistguy]

My turn.

I LOATHE:

-The fact that we are thought to live in a world where we're expected to live up to someone else's standards. That's f**kin' bull****. We're supposed to live for OUR goals, dammit
-Bossy People
-Shallow people
-People who do things because others say it's cool to do so(people who have no will of their own)
-Subsmissive people
-When I wanna change something I did wrong in the past.
-b*tchy girls
-Snobbish girls
-People who think they're more important than anyone else just because they take better care of their appearance.
-most importantly: RACISM (There's NO SUCH THING as a superior race)

[That Matt Guy]

People that are never content and bitch about everything.

[Mecha Cow]

Living in a society where mediocrity and shallowness are not only accepted, but actually encouraged, and where greed and egotism get in the way of dignity and decency.

Any form of elitist bullsh*t, including but not limited to racism and organised religion (Please note that religion and faith are not the same thing).

...And the fact that my own computer still needs to be fixed.

[Anarchistguy]

People that are never content and bitch about everything.

AKA my father. But we won't get into that.

[Sewer Bull]

* The fact I have to die one day and of that there's no help. Life's so good in general.
* The fact my internet connection is bitching with me tonight and disconnects me once in a while.

It's fascinating. When I wrote the second statement, the connection stopped bitching almost immediately and it goes now sweetly.

Does it mean I'm not going to die?

[Barkworm]

Either that or you're already dead... :p

[OA]

this is getting deep...:)

[Sewer Bull]

Either that or you're already dead... :p

I knew I couldn't have survived that plane crash.

It was just impossible.

And that Haley Joel Osment-ish kid hanging around ever after...

:dead: :dead: :dead:

[Hannah]

I HATE...


-The fact that my family lived VERY close to Shadow before I was born. Like, not even an hour-long drive.

-Racism.

-The preppy, popular, and snobbish girls.

-Rap, R&B, Hip-hop, and Country music. D: (No offense to anyone who likes this music.)

-Stupidity.

-My ugly body. -_-

-School, save Art class.

-Most famous people. Those retards think they've got it hard. "OH, the papparazzi is after meee". Try living someone else's life, you losers. D;

-Goth/Emo losers

-Living about 2500 miles away from shadow....



yarr, im such a nice person, huh? :D

[FireFly]

Racism
people trying to take Under god from the P Of A
hippies/eco-freaks
green peace/Peta*
jack tompson
people who don't like me but don't even know me

now all for saving mother earth and the treating animals right but when they take it to far like a school can't have animal mascotbecluase you keep it in a cage or you can't cut down a pine tree for Xmas becluase it hurts the eco-system that is BullCrap

[XERO]

I hate taking things we need for granted. Like friends, family, and cable TV.

Most of all, I hate hate, period.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Okay, here's a part of my pandora's box....

-Politicians of all kinds. They're all bastards who want the power, limited or not, to control out loves and tell us what is and isn't good for us, regardles of our opinions.
-People who aspire to be politicians. They won't "lower taxes" or "help the poor". They'll just get in office, break promises and pad their pocketbook any chance they get. All lying bastards and I hate them all, regardless of political party.
-Oh, and I hate political parties too. I only listen to one agenda and one alone. Me. Ya'know, I'll generalize and say I hate politics alltogether.
-"Southern Culture". I hate it. All of it. Detest it, loathe it, dispise it, condemn it. You know why. It's so phony. I want big cities, neon lights,
-The Governer of Arkansas. He made Halloween illegal there because of "Homeland security purposes". Wrong. he used 9/11 as an excuse to permote his Baptist faith and encourage people to go to organized Church festivals instead. Bastard.
-Bible thumpers. I don't need someone to tell me I'm going to hell unless I give them 10% of my cash so they can judge me, condemn me, and browbeat me because I don't conform to their standard of a person. My faith is my own concern and no one else's.
-Racism. It is the root of all human evil, all the way back through world history. Evil, evil, evil. People are people, period.
-People who are more concerned with being "cool" and going with what pop culture demands rather than not being a dumbass.
-99% of TV series, and all sitcoms period.
-All of my Uncles on my Dad's side of the family without exceptions whatsoever.
-Gangs & Stupid ghetto wannabes. Seriously, who would want to be ghetto? The real ghetto people strive to become something more and fight to get a better life while other fools want to become it for their "image".
-That prick at EB games who ridiculed me for bringing an SP to the store....though talking the bastard into a corner in front of 12 people was schweet.
-Emo music
-The RIAA
-The United Nations. Goddamn internet power hungry bastards.
-Jack Thompson, Joseph Lieberman, those people on "The View", Oprah, and anyone else who wants to sensationalize the gaming world for their own gain.
-Those who judge me for wanting to change my image.
-People who beat down single mothers for things they couldn't control.
-People who treat men as though they are better than women (80% of religions, most cultures and governments pull this macho dominance sh*t). Most women are smarter than men anyways. Just because your's goes out, and her's goes in dosen't mean you're any better of a human being.
-Women letting themselves be kicked around by a man pisses me off too.
-Wife Beaters
-The FCC
-Our medical system that charges poor people every cent they have for perscription drugs and let's cancer patients die because they have no insurance. Heartless bastards.
-Deer Hunting in general, and anyone who wants the nickname "Bubba"
-Fossile fules and the world's reluctance to find something new. Day After Tomorrow, here we come.
-Fu*king Soccer Moms
-Sony fanboys
-All non-intelliegent fanboys. I have no problem with other people opinions as long as they have logical reasons (aka "I just like ______ game better than those others" qualifies as such), but stupid "OMFG YOUr SYST3M 1S TEH SU$KASS" people need to be uthinized.
-People who think they are better than someone else for whatever reason. Elietists can rot.
-Communism
-Imperialism
-The Draft (Give up your physical life for my cause because I said so, no discussion)
-Terrorists
-Ford F150 Pickup Trucks
-Damn Soccer Moms. Some of them can humiliate their own children at sporting events.
-People who do things just because "It's a guy thing" and for no other reason.
-Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Typhoons, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes.
-Rednecks that teach their children that "We're better than them damn Yankees". Mother F......
-Bums who ask for money when they obviously aren't homeless.
-Rapists
-Murderes
-People who try to shut down Rave parties and clubs.
-People who take advantage of weaker people because they can no matter what the situation.
-The American Public School and Education system in general: aka "The Class system" (and I don't mean in the learning sense.)
-Standardized tests (okay, you're going to make this much money, and you're going to McDonalds...)
-The National Institute for Media and the Family
-People who use Kids for political leverage
-Those who act like sex is a dirty thing.
-People who look at me wierd for saying "radical" & "Dude" & "Schweet" in public.
-Did I mention the United Nations? Oh, moving on then...
-People who fell into their predefined role in society rather than got out and lived.
-Sensationalists in general.
-Absoultionists who believe you can only be one, or the other, and not both of something.
-The fact that American Colleges are more concerned with their Football team than their learning standard.
-Snoop Dawg
-Pop Culture
-Censorship of any kind, anywhere, anyhow.
-Taxes
-The fact that out government has the right to sell your house & land to a Wal-Mart for the "Betterment of the comunity" if it suits them to do so.
-People who want to control my beliefs.
-Those who would seperate me from my friends (you guys)
-Organized religions that supress one group and permote another
-The 1950's
-War in general and the death they cause just because some dude wanted to treat human lives like Chess pieces in a game of machodom
-The fact that there are no girls in this area who are gamers, tech heads, open to new things and don't care about what the world thinks of them.


These's so much more, but I'm going to bed.

[The Stryker]

^^ Damn! :o

You have alot of hate in your soul,young skywalker.

[That Matt Guy]

Change mine to read "People that are never content and bitch about everything aka ThirdMarioBro" Jesus, man. How long is the list of things that don't grind your gears?

[Shadow Leonardo]

I hate:

Racism:I am highly and strongly against this type of thing, it makes me mad when you call someone of a different race a hurtful and insulting name because of their culture.
Minors who smoke:Oh my gosh! Didn't they learn anything in elementrary school that it will kill you? In my school we were shown some pretty realistic videos and alot of kids my age smoke, it doesn't make you look cool.
Smugglers/Hobos:If they want drugs they should dress decently then get a job.

[Turtledude2k3]

I erally hate the way girls ignore me for who I am.. They don't know me at all and they don't want to bother with me..

I take my time in the day and be polite and say Hi and stuff but it rarely works.

Also, there just so much degrading stuff on tv like the music man,, its bad.. look at the rap, all these girls dress in slutty clothes.. it could rahter be on porn or something.

One last thing is the video games.. I love video games but the people can be so hateful to one another if you own a system and they hate it, or they will be idiots when you play online by saying stupid thigns..

[Sewer Bull]

I hate cauliflowers - they're plain disgusting. Especially the boiled ones. So insipid. :dead: The sad thing is my family heart those unholy vegetables. And I am the black sheep.

Apart from that - I'm omnivorous.

[Voltron]

People who don't laugh and agree all around when I make racial comments towards people in public. :cry:

[Sewer Bull]

Awww, Voltron - sorry to hear that.:(

People are strange when you're a stranger...

[Jester]

You know what really grinds my gears:
*Racism: cause everyone else hates it...and there are idiots, morons, stooges and reaks of all skin tones...
*The color aquamarine: I mean is it green or blue?
*People who wera socks with sandles
*People who act like you should know them, but you haven't a clue who they are.
*Stupid people
*People who leach off of society and don't find it nessicary to get a job, ie buy their Coke and potato chips on the tax payer's dime.
*Playmates toys
*That Lindsay Lohan
*the state of Virginia....those jerks!

Diane...

[The Stryker]

*People who act like you should know them, but you haven't a clue who they are.
*Stupid people


Like....Ouch. :cry:

[Anarky]

You know what really grinds my gears:
*People who leach off of society and don't find it nessicary to get a job, ie buy their Coke and potato chips on the tax payer's dime.

Hahaha, God, that is funny. Hey, I mean, I'd rather be unemployed and live off the money of some rich, old, nationalist bastard than getting a disgracing, subhuman job that pays **** and makes your brain melt. And if getting a job means that I have to do something I deem unethical I am happy to be unemployed.

And on the other hand side: The money used to help the people is used in a good way.

Smugglers/Hobos:If they want drugs they should dress decently then get a job.

Dress decently and then get a job? Dude, you're even funnier than Jester was with the above statement. Do you think it is that easy? No bank account, no home... man, getting a job that way is really funny. Those people have no chance and nobody is willing to give it to them. Do me a favour and go on "holidays" on the street for a week without money. I bet that will be an eye-opener.

[Barkworm]

I think Jester is talking about that kind of people who think they don't need to get a job because someone else is paying for them. Like that German party APPD which has slogans like "WORK IS ****!!!" and "BOOZE!!!" (I'm not making this up...) :roll:

[Jester]

Actually I don't care if you get help...just don't buy Soda and candy with my money that's paying for you to live on welfare...

[Anarky]

I think Jester is talking about that kind of people who think they don't need to get a job because someone else is paying for them. Like that German party APPD which has slogans like "WORK IS ****!!!" and "BOOZE!!!" (I'm not making this up...) :roll:

But then again, even the APPD is not taking itself seriously. They're highly satyrical. Have you ever noticed that they always say the exact opposite of what politicians say? Let's take the "Kinder statt Inder"-debate ("Children instead of indians), which was about the "import" of indian computer specialists and the lack of places for apprentices. The APPD said that they want indian computer specialists to build a computer that replaces both, indian computer specialists and children. So, I mean, if they should take that serious...

For more info and some good laughs, see the Wiki-article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APPD).

Actually I don't care if you get help...just don't buy Soda and candy with my money that's paying for you to live on welfare...

So, what's to buy instead? Dry bread and stale water? Yeah, right... If I want a soda and I don't have a job, then I'm going to buy myself a soda and I don't care who paid for it. As long as the money is there, it's not my problem.

If you don't want people spending your precious, treasured money on "luxury"-items, then stop paying taxes.

And let me tell you, flipping burgers at McD's is one of the better jobs out there.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Change mine to read "People that are never content and bitch about everything aka ThirdMarioBro" Jesus, man. How long is the list of things that don't grind your gears?

Well, I usually don't bitch about such things. Just saw an opportuinity to list them all at once, so I did. Normally it's just easier in life to ignore the things that bug me rather than dwell on them.

[Kid Icarus]

Ditto on those. With that first one, the ACLU should be all over that, if they arn't already. Hallowe'en, or Samhain is a *MASSIVE* Pagan holiday, directly comparable to Christans Christmas. He can't make it fuc*ing illegal for very long. Yay for the ACLU.

keep in mind that I work for the University of Nebraska, Lincoln... I totally feel the college football one.

Oh, and add people who hate people for trying to save the Earth, just because they'd rather have a bigger tree in the house in December and want a bigger SUV. How 'bout you grow one in your back yard, and it gets bigger every year? Douches.

[Shadow Leonardo]

Do me a favour and go on "holidays" on the street for a week without money. I bet that will be an eye-opener.

Ok fine, then they can dress however and get a low payment job and can get what they can that way, and yes I've seen jobs that do that.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Oh, and add people who hate people for trying to save the Earth, just because they'd rather have a bigger tree in the house in December and want a bigger SUV. How 'bout you grow one in your back yard, and it gets bigger every year? Douches.

Yup, my tree's plastic. Helps the planet, and I don't have to worry about the sucker catching on fire.

[Kid Icarus]

it's called "over night janitorial service", where you're told to clean up peoples poop, and you rarely make more then minimum wage. If people would stop charging each other so damn much to live, it woulden't be so hard to get people off the streets.

So how's this. Minimum wage employees, working full time in the US, only bring home around $400 a month. The cheapest rent I could find in town (and I live in one of the cheaper places) was $200. So you're left with $200 then, to cover garbage removal (20), water(15), gas(30), electricity(20), and of course... food(100). Then, since these places are usually pretty far away from ones job, you have to pay for transportation (30). Then you have to get grooming supplies so you don't lose your job for being unkept (25). and yes, water is needed (you have to bathe to keep a job), gas is needed to heat the water.

You do the math.

So how's 'bout we stop bitching about helping a fellow human being out, hm?

With out social programs, I woulden't be here today, because my mom, sister, and I would be on the streets. So, from someone who had to use the system to get by, thanks. Those few dollars you gave from your check helped to feed and shelter and clothe me, and in the end it gave us the leg up we needed to live better.

[Cerpin Taxt]

People made lists? Badass!

-China, its economy, and its effects on our country
-governments invading countries without purpose or meaning
-dependency on finite resources used for energy
-hogging of said resources
-money invested on covering up the impact that oil and coal has on global warming, which then has an effect on natural disasters
-the fact that the government can do something about the above but chooses to ignore it
-hip hop, r&b and emo
-the fact that every movie is greenlit these days, and 99% of them end up being the shittiest films/ideas ever (nobody wants a ****ing remake of "The Fog"
-decent bands selling out
-no future Parappa/Umjammer Lammy sequel (Ya Gotta Believe)
-World of Warcraft and every other MMORPG
-people who say Stairway to Heaven is the best song ever
-Ramones T-Shirts
-CBGB isn't fully out of business yet
-Hot Topic
-Rare making ****** games
-Halo
-Dashboard Confessional
-Florida (the entire state)
-Jack Thompson
-The Real World
-Relient K
-Night Ranger

That's all I can think of in about 3 minutes

[That Matt Guy]

Can someone give a clue as to what the hell "emo" is, and why I'm supposed to hate it?

[Anarky]

Can someone give a clue as to what the hell "emo" is, and why I'm supposed to hate it?

Emo are the people who declared depression to be their lifestyle. They're usually dressed in black, they never are happy and they listen to music like Coldplay and Dover. And they think it's cool to be suicidal.

[KROW]

So, what's to buy instead? Dry bread and stale water? Yeah, right... If I want a soda and I don't have a job, then I'm going to buy myself a soda and I don't care who paid for it. As long as the money is there, it's not my problem.
There's a lot of things to buy instead of just wasting it away on snack food day in and day out -- a suit and tie is a good example. I think Jester is just implying that he hates when people who are on welfare just waste it without thinking. The occassional sweet treat isn't a problem. As long as there's moderation.
If you don't want people spending your precious, treasured money on "luxury"-items, then stop paying taxes.
Try to come up with a way so that sounds even remotely doable, and us Americans will write up a nice petition -- and not an online one.
And let me tell you, flipping burgers at McD's is one of the better jobs out there.
It certainly is better than crack whore. Of course, after taxes you end up making about $3.00 an hour and have to keep asking yourself why you've stopped selling pot.
