What Grinds Your Gears? :) - Page 20

Peanut · 05-04-2012, 10:00 PM

People who say they "have no time for X" when they're simply making a decision to not spend time on "X". You have "no time" to hang out with friends, but you've got all this time to watch dumb TV shows. No, you have time. You're just choosing to spend that time elsewhere. Worst f*cking excuse for anything.

People who change to a large degree as a result of a relationship, sometimes becoming something they actively disliked in the process. Basically, weak-willed b*tches who have their entire being bent to the will of the person they're in a relationship with.

The world and general populace picking up on years old internet humor and drudging it out far after its expiration date. Examples include crap like FTW, FML, Epic Fail, Chuck Norris, All Your Base, Keep Calm and ____, the list can go on and on and f*cking on. This offence becomes even worse when it's drudged up on the internet itself. You can almost understand a clueless sitcom writer or news anchor not getting some of those jokes are played the f*ck out, but when you're a person who spends a bunch of time on the internet and STILL use that ****, you deserve to be punched in the stupid face.

*zkarlette* · 05-05-2012, 09:53 PM

People taking shopping carts and leaving them where they don't belong.

When they say that, that means you don't have to help them. I don't see the problem. As a consumer, I hate being bothered while shopping. I am perfectly capable of finding something on my own, and if not, I will ask. Until that time, I wish to be left alone.

^ Exactly this...

*Revan* · 05-06-2012, 09:32 AM

"How's it going, man?"

"Just looking..."

Ok, that's fine. I was just saying hello. I'll just go **** myself.

Aaa no? When they say just looking that's when you should probably reply, all right you need anything or have any questions I'll be right over here and more then happy to help.

*Hannah* · 05-06-2012, 11:28 AM

I think Revan means more like when you're saying hello to a customer and they rudely cut you off or act like you're bothering them or whatever. At least that's what I'm picking up. Doom got that a lot when he worked at Gamestop.

O ha. if a saleman says hi or whatever, I always say hi back and ask how there doing.

愛 · 05-06-2012, 11:37 AM

I actually like the Best Buy I typically go to because no one ever says hi to the customer. It's great.

*Hannah* · 05-06-2012, 11:41 AM

Yeah, I prefer when they don't talk to me most of the time. But when they do I'm polite because I'm not an asshole. I've had people get pissed off at me when I worked at Safeway for saying hi and asking if they'd found everything okay. Like, I had to say that sh*t. Or I'd get fired. ****.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-06-2012, 02:54 PM

as a customer I find "Need any help" annoying.

theres a huge difference between "Need any help?" to "Can I help you?" Especially with the right voice tone.
