I haven't seen a nonsensical rant thread in awhile. So, post away.

The latest thing to annoy me - old people who insist on paying with a check at the register who don't start writing the check until everything has been rung up.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PB.

I cant stand people who, when driving, think that using their indicators gives them an automatic right to pull out. It doesn't. Take the fucking bus next time.

People who don't even BOTHER to use the indicators...:nono:

[Jahira]

When there is a construction or accident backup and people use the left lane all the way up to where they can't go any farther and then have to butt in. Ruining my experience because I got over 10 minutes ago knowing that was the correct thing to do. - I guess words don't do it justice at how mad I get at this.

Coincidentally...

Just yesterday I had the displeasure of encountering an old woman who drove up to the drive through window of the bank and then filled out the deposit slip instead of doing it in advance like anyone with a shred of common sense or courtesy would do. And to make matters worse, she dropped the damn canister and had to get out of the car to retrieve it from the ground.

[DCSL]

I hate people that speed up to change lanes so they can get in front of you and then they promptly slow down again. What in goatse's name is wrong with these people!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY.

[Methais]

What's even worse are the one that pull out in front of you at the last minute, forcing you to slam on your brakes despite the fact that there's nobody behind you, and then go at least 20 mph under the speed limit.

This is 89274023x more frustrating when the other lane has an endless stream of oncoming traffic, preventing you from passing this asshole, blowing the horn at them, flipping them off and then being like....

[Jahira]

OOOOORRRRR!!!!!

This pisses me off even more.

The dumb assholes who are driving (normally on their phone) who don't have their cruise control on.

I sit there and cruise about 5 miles over the speed limit and they pass me - no big deal. A few minutes later, I gain on them and then get over and pass them because they have slowed down. After getting passed they promptly speed up and pass me. A few minutes later, I gain on them, and then get over and pass them because they have slowed down.....

you get the picture... and this can go on for my entire 3 hour trip home from school

[kookiegod]

People who need to come to a COMPLETE stop to take a right.

Bad enough they do it for a left with no oncoming traffic, but a right? Eeesh.

These are the same people who wait until all $200 worth of their items are crammed down the belt, crushing everything, failing to realize if they started bagging their own groceries we could all leave faster, and then ask the cashier for double paper, in plastic ......

my wife always bags her own groceries. I won't do it. I went to college just so I wouldn't never ever (ever never?) never need to bag another set of groceries.

[Belnia]

Nothing wrong with doing something on your own. The kids bagging your groceries are probably trying to get through college too.

Yeah, how dare someone expect you to bag your own groceries. Your an educated man, that means you can be a selfish douche! Bag your own groceries....psh! Your far to better then everyone else to do that!


You really grind my gears.

[Kitsun]

People that put something up for sale at a price that they know is absolutely ridiculous but say it is because they really like the item. It is a complete waste for taking the time to read the shit, then realizing they're a fucking moron that wasted their time even typing it up.

Except most never realize they're a moron, and continue to live the rest of their life being a total idiot.

My last experience with a bank leads me to believe that anyone associated with banks has no common sense or courtesy.

Asshole.

I love bagging my own groceries, even though I'm going to college to earn more money than a bagger ever would (I should know, since I've had two jobs as a bagger). I hate letting others bag my groceries because 1) they pack them wrong (wrong foods in the wrong bags, too few heavy bags, or too many light bags with very little in them) and 2) I have OCD with my grocery bagging and other people (outside of my husband) will NEVER getting the bagging done right, no matter what.

[Euler]

yeah, I have lower standards for my groceries getting bagged. As long as they fit in the sack, I am good with it. I guess I didn't make it clear from my original post. I packed countless bags of groceries paying my way through school. On late nights when I was anxiety ridden over a final coming up, I would calm myself down by saying, "After you pass this test you will be one step closer to never having to pack another grocery sack again."

I passed and i believe in keeping my promises. I'll never pack another bag again. Bagging groceries is a job that is disproportionally stressful as compared to its importance. I mean, on the surface you are just putting things in a bag.... but you realize there are millions of crazies running around with an attitude that there is a 'correct way' of doing it. DON'T PUT THE SPINACH WITH THE MILK!!!! OMG!!!!

crazies.

[Vesi]

It just seems pointless to me to get annoyed, upset or stressed because someone had to write a check or fill out a deposit slip. Lots of older people don't trust debit cards. Is everyone REALLY in that much of a hurry? Let the old folks still feel like it's the... hmm... 80's again. (couldn't think of a good decade)

Now the car assholes I can relate to. Completely.

As to grinding gears...

What is the deal with those weird padded mat things that people (my mother in law) put on the floor of the shower? What are they for... I mean aside from soaking up my urine in a warm shower? Then the thing is... as you are peeing on the M.I.L.'s mat, you can't help thinking, "who peed on this before me? Who's sopped up urine am I standing on?"

It is like that one twilight zone episode where there is a box and if you press the button you get a million dollars but someone you don't know is going to die. And then the next person who gets the box is someone you don't know...

If we lived in a world where nobody peed on shower mats it would be all good, but as it stands now...I feel dirtier after the shower.

The way people (men) can't seem to aim and don't feel like cleaning up after themselves. I should not have to clean up after a grown, sober man.

My boss's son was caught (by his mother, still living with her) peeing in the sink. Right next to the unoccupied toilet. Door open and everything. Sober. I would have thrown him out of the house right then and there.

Throgg on the official boards grinds my gears. It is fairly obvious he has no idea what he's doing in GS. Whenever someone asks for training advice, he adamantly supports going WARcleric or empath, even to people wanting PURE advice. Once pressured, he'll freely admit that the weapon style is more for secondary usage and it sucks up a fuckton of points but OMG HEAD CRUSHING WITH MAULZ. And he thinks he's right about mechanics behind GS even when it is contrary to 1) documentation 2) other players informing him he is wrong 3) when GMs tell him that isn't how the code works. His brain can't differentiate from a spell's instant-death effect and deaths caused by high criticals. I don't understand how someone's gut instincts can be universally wrong on so many issues but here's my tip: always bet against Throgg and you'll be a winner.

I'm going to add my own thoughts here. Ulial's player on the officials comes off as a giant gaping vagina, I can't do this, I can't do that...It's because you fucking suck at Gemstone. Every time you go to a new hunting area, you're capped, remember? You fucking bitch about something, anything. It gets old, seriously.

[Belnia]

Sorcerers posting on the officials also really grind my gears. I think anyone with a sorcerer on their account shouldn't be allowed to post. It would make the boards a much happier place!

Geez, I'm glad I never read the professional or mechanics folders when I played. Sounds like they're full of whiners.

[Kitsun]

Two-faced, jackass, liars! I hate people that pretend they're all greatful, thankful and appreciative for the help you give them then forget you exist until the next time they need help. I really hate people who say they'll give you a hand and turn around and hide from you until the shit blows over.

I would like to take the time to give a very whole hearted FUCK YOU to all the people that have shanked me like that.

Bicyclists who don't obey traffic laws. Yes, you have the right to ride in the road. You do NOT have the right to run red lights, blow through stop signs, weave between cars and generally be an asshole on two wheels instead of an asshole on four.

I cannot say how much I agree with this. Last time I saw a bicyclist doing this, I had to stop for a red light, but I pulled all the way over to the curb. He was in such a douchey rush that he didn't stop even though there was almost no room to pass me, he just smooshed over and smashed his elbow on my mirror. No damage to my car, but it had to hurt him. He hit it HARD, lol. Stupid fucker.

What kinds my gears today is that Shutterfly will not allow you to save any pictures to your computer that you have obtained from a share. The only way to save them (read enhance them etc) is to order a DVD of them.

I think for some guys, it means they don't have to aim or not splash and make a mess, or worry about the toilet seat or anything like that. Just whip it out and water a tree. So it's faster and easier, I suppose.

Of course for us women, it's like a whole ordeal of making sure you don't fall down and rub poison ivy on your ass or other no-no bits, making sure you don't piss all over yourself, locating toilet paper or equivalent, and praying to god no one sees what you're doing lest they get a full moon view.

I think I've developed a food allergy to Rockstar Juiced. I don't know if they changed the recipe or if something has changed with my chemistry. Whatever it is I had one tonight and I started getting hella bad gut rot followed by itching from head to toe. Swelling of hands and feet, face and neck turning red, etc. Had my throat or mouth started to swell it would have been a run to the ER, as it was I just popped a few antihistamines and grabbed some icepacks to keep my temp down (go go common sense and field medicine training!).

I guess I'm done with Rockstar Juiced and that grinds my gears because I loved them. Oh well there are still tons of other energy drinks that I enjoy that don't cause such issues....for now.
