He's just a retarded a**hole with no decency.

In closing, people who urninate in public when there are restrooms available are retarded morons.

If your father has downs syndrome, you should try to be more understanding & helpful. Maybe let him know that it's an inappropriate means of relieving himself.

But it would seem you are the one without decency.

If a kid were to catch him, and he were to have a non-compassionate judge, he could end up with some jail time.

My mom's not responsible for him and refuses to do anything for him. He won't go to a doctor because he doesn't want to. He doesn't have a guardian or anything. I called him a retarded moron because he should know better than that, but he just thinks he can do whatever he wants. He's also an alcoholic, so I think that's the biggest problem.

He doesn't have Down's Syndrome. He's perfectly capable of making his own decisions. He's retarded because he should know better than to do that and yet he does it anyway because he thinks he can get away with anything and do whatever he wants. He's the one with no decency urinating in public like that. I have more decency than he does.

I call people who do dumb things when they know perfectly well they shouldn't do them retarded because they are. If you don't like it, too bad. I don't care. My father is a worthless alcoholic who thinks rules are beneath and he can do whatever he wants. He's retarded for doing stupid things, and that's that. I don't care if you're offended by my choice of words. I'll call people whatever the f*ck I want.

You know what grinds my gears? Some things about life in Paris:

- Apartment entry doors that have no turning handles. The default apartment entry doors in Paris are very old models. They usually just have a knob in the center to push or pull. But if you close the door, it gets automatically locked and you can only open it with a key.
Because I grew up in other places with actual normal doors, I have locked myself out of my Parisian apartment at least twice. That meant calling a locksmith. Since these accidents, I hate locksmiths. They will destroy your lock with a drill and replace the whole thing for a humongous sum of money.
Since then, the word "clés" ("keys") carries a feeling of resentment, injustice and shock at a society that can't evolve to normal standards.

- People on motorbikes who go on the sidewalk. Hey buddy! You know why motor vehicles are NOT supposed to go on the sidewalk? That's because THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE!! And you think you're so cool and funny by moving close to me, just about to grind my heels? You think you're so cool and funny by advancing as if you were to slice my body from between my legs? No, you're not.

- Ridiculously short opening hours for shops and other businesses. Many restaurants will only be open for a few select hours. What, your stomach says it is hungry when it is not 12h00-14h00? Well, that's too bad! And don't be shocked if so many people visit McDonald's with all this. We like availability, you know. And the freaking bank is closed after 17h00?? There's no McD's equivalent for that, unfortunately.

What grinds me gears? So much ...

I hate those threads, I simply hate them to the depths of my blood as they actually ain't saying nothing but here I am, returned from watching "Man Up" in the movies, feeling so furry, all furry, so lost, all lost and definately emotionally don't really know where to go except for the weird internet with people like Mew and Etsy who make not only this place but also a wide and to me felt space so bearable like you wouldn't expect it at all.

Sharing with you, saying thank you in fact, it's me, just a cat <3

My gear-grinder? As of yesterday afternoon, that would be my pc. I had installed a new media player update on Tues. night, on the notion that it would improve my video streaming so I could watch the new TMNT ep. Now, I often leave it in sleep mode so it opens right up to whatever I was working on last when I quit for the night. Well, when I started it back up yesterday, I immediately noticed that my wallpaper and windows had all been compressed on the screen. This has happened a few time before, usually after system updates so I just restarted lije I usually do to fix it.

Therein began my venture into computer hell. The darn thing simply refused to boot back up, and kept giving me a restart error screen. So I follow all the steps for repairing the problem, and tried several options that presented themselves, but nothing was working. Texted a family friend, and he tried to help me figure out what was wrong. Finally got it fixed around 9:30. Spent the next hour backing up my files, in the event that it ever goes permanently caput.

You know what is one of the biggest Gear-Grinder of my professional/artistic life?

I have to use the computer. Nowadays, we all need to use some informatic device.

And sometimes, there is a technical problem that prevents you from doing the normal stuff. And that's annoying.

But that's not the only Gear-Grinder.

The big Gear-Grinder is that, when you search for that problem on Google, there are only a few results that come up. And those results are, like, quite old. I talk 2007-2011 old.
So... no longer relevant. So it doesn't work on your computer.

Or you find people who had the same problem, asking the questions in technical forums...
And those questions have NO REPLIES.

So it's reboot time again. And again.

Windows Help is the most useless thing on this Planet Earth.

What grinds my gears:

I yelled at my dad for p*ssing outside and made it a point to tell him that not only would it have been embarrassing for me to see him like that, but that many animals are going to smell his urine and come up to the house because of it. And the thing is, he STILL doesn't get that his behavior isn't right. He just looked at me and said, "Well, I didn't think of that. I even called his behavior retarded to his face and my mom agreed with me.

Sinus troubles, but that's par for the course.

Political correctness. Seriously, get a life and get over it, you morons.

*IndigoErth* · 10-30-2015, 08:57 PM

I've nearly come to the conclusion that I am incapable of roasting pumpkin seeds. In the past few years I've always overdone them.

This year... ended up having them taking out too early because someone else needed the oven. Tried a couple but they were a still slightly chewy, even after having been in the oven for a little while. I put them back in for a bit longer - nope, now they're overdone.

People complaining about miniscule things

*BubblyShell22* · 10-31-2015, 02:48 PM

I agree with you there, Snake.

My gear grind: The rain. I so hate it.

Being woke up @ 2:00 am Halloween morning by the Dallas Police & Fire Department, claiming that someone from Irving called 911 on me to my home address. I didn't claim any emergency on anyone, nor do I know anyone from Irving.

*Powder* · 10-31-2015, 04:32 PM

Jeez, that would suck big time! Do you think somebody pulled a prank on you? The evening before Halloween is known for that sort of thing, after all.

*Jephael* · 10-31-2015, 04:46 PM

Two-Faced individuals who are nice to you one day and treat ya like crap the next!

Hmm... Some in this house might be good eatin'. Little BBQ sauce maybe.

And my complaint was not minuscule darn it.

One pumpkin, one shot a year, and I keep ruining it. Someday I will make them better. Maybe.

Grinder for the day: People at work wasting my time calling for someone from my department to go downstairs while my department is understaffed (and I thought they just wanted returns picked up so I went); I'm new, have not been shown how to help a customer do an online order through the store and the guy was already patiently waiting for assistance from the one person around there tonight that actually speaks his language. Someone who at least knows some broken English could be worked with, but this guy appanetly didn't speak a lick of it. (Really wish people would bring someone who can communicate for them; I'd hate to be in their shoes... let alone be an employee that feels bad and awkward because I can't understand them.)

If it was, I bet they may be regretting it now if they turned around and traced the call.

Gear grinder of the week? People who ask for your opinion then freak out and get angry when they don't like the opinion of yours that you have just given them. Dude seriously, welcome the real world. Opinions are free and everybody will give them. Deal with it. Go eat some cake or something.
