Angel food cake (too sweet) and Devil's food cake (too rich)

People who think the staff at my store don't have any "Christmas Spirit" just cause we don't say "Merry Christmas" to every Tom, Dick and Sally that comes in to shop!

The fact that my power was out for five hours yesterday because of the high winds.

But before I could squeal over this, the girl looks at the guy and tells him "no." I think I was as startled as the guy was that she said no. When he asked why, she told him she was pregnant with someone elses baby, and got up and left. ANd then the most horriable and awkward thing happened, he ran into the mens room and started balling his eyes out. Everyone could hear him, it was terriable.

Whats worse I didn't know if I should say something to him or not. The old man told him to "shut up" and to be thankful he found out before he married her and she tried to pass the kid off as his. The guy didin't take it well. Seriously it was a real scene. I've never been witness something like that before. I feel so sorry for this guy.

why would anyone propose in public? Why set your self up to be humilated in front of onlookers. Personaly if I was the girl I would hate to be put on the spot like that. I had a friend who proposed to his girlfriend at a baseball game and everyone in the stands kepts yelling at her to hurry to give him her answer. They are married now by my friend wife confided in me that she always resented that he pulled a stunt on her like that.

I guess there are just some people who like the attention it gives them, and they want a crowd of people to witness it. But I agree that if it doesn't go well, then you have the memory of everyone witnessing how you got rejected.

I'm pretty sure I flunked two out of four of my finals...f*ck me...

*BubblyShell22* · 12-24-2012, 08:03 AM

I'm not happy that I'm starting my Christmas Eve off with a horrible headache. Yuck.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 01-11-2013, 10:58 PM

This may not sound like something that would "grind the gears" but just here me out.

Alright, now today I decided to hang with my friend and his gamer nerd friends. (Whatever you wanna call 'em. I was just being a loner and kinda just joined them.) And one of them was talking about cameras the size of sand grains or rice. And I thought 'hmm. Pretty cool.' Now here's what would grind my gears. After one said something about the cameras (which I think probably don't exist but oh well) having loud sirens I thought, 'Damn. Wouldn't that just suck if the siren went off and you dropped the camera? ' Where's the camera? Who the heck knows it's lost! You're gonna have to put up with that loud siren until the camera dies. Well I probably sounded a moron, but if something like that actually happened I'd be ticked.

*sigh*

So this thread has become about hypotheticals now.

Well. Nice to see you back here.

After you've been gone for like ever.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-13-2013, 01:11 AM

Grinding gears grinds my gears! Learn to shift people, gosh!

*BubblyShell22* · 01-13-2013, 09:00 AM

Nice one, Canadiandrome.

Nails on a chalk board grind my gears.

Also, once again, I have a sinus headache. Though to be fair, I felt pretty good yesterday.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 01-16-2013, 03:47 PM

What's grinding my gears right now? Or what has been for the last few weeks? The fact that the guy I was dating said we shouldn't be together anymore, and out of all the reasons he has to say, "because of our moms."

/

Which in my opinion is the most stupid @$$ excuse. And what's worse is that he acts like he doesn't know me.

*BubblyShell22* · 01-17-2013, 09:43 AM

Wow. That sucks, Ghost, but maybe it's for the best. You can do so much better than him.

What grinds my gears: That my father's cousin's son killed himself. It's just so sad.

*zkarlette* · 01-17-2013, 01:57 PM

I tell you what fu***** grinds my gears, learning that my grandfather died thru FB, apparently my family can't lift a stupid phone, great way to start your #%* morning...

Wow that's heartless! My condolences

*BubblyShell22* · 01-17-2013, 05:02 PM

Yeah, that sucks, Z. They could've at least called you.

*Sage Ninja* · 01-24-2013, 12:07 AM

when I am working the register at work and a customer puts several items on the belt and tells you to put it all in one bag.

when a customer hands you an empty wrapper or half eaten bag of chips or an empty bottle of soda to ring up. I guess I should be grateful they are honest enough to pay, but I find that so rude and disrespectful. I mean I can sort of understand if they did it to appease a screaming child, but often adults do this just because they feel like it. I mean come on you really can't wait till you've paid for something to tear into it?

competing with my older sister for the bathroom in the morning, since one of my classes is in the morning this semester. her job is 20 minutes away, where I go to school is 40 minutes away.
