Just pull out your RPG... Duh... If the police are men, they will not arrest you because you murdered and destroyed just to see a nice car.

And sorry about what happened rb26x and elitedriver123. Events like what you describe are always sad to hear. :(

Indeed it's tragic to hear young lives being cut short. I remember at my old elementary school, my kindergarden teacher's neice died in my old elementary school in one of the girls bathroom. I don't remember how she died but it was either a heart attack or asthma attack. She was only about 6 or 7 at the time.

You know those Go-gurt... things? They're quite tasty but I simply can not open them. No matter what. I always use scissors, then my mother just has to throw out the last pair of 'em we could find. Why?! Simply because it was somewhat dull. They never tear open right for me, for years I've never opened one on the first try, or with bare hands in the first place even with multiple tries. :banghead: Still grinding my gears... I want my yummy yogurt stuff. :(

My mom stopped buying those for me when I was 7 because I would always explode them...
 
You know those Facebook questions about your friends things? Someone answered one about me, and it costs 200 points to see who it is. It asked if they thought I was cute and it said yes. So, I took like 3 or 4 quizzes about my friends to get enough points to see who it was. You wanna know who it was? Some Indian kid I know. :sick:

He must've not even looked at the question or went through them really fast.
 
My gear grinder today: being a pretty emotional guy. Not necessarily in front of people, but I just seem all dramatic, and I feel like other guys would make fun of me for it.

I have this vision of what a man should be like, what I should be like. He should never shed a tear, never get sad. But I do. And I feel like somewhat of a failure in that department. That's what society says.

It bugs me that I probably won't ever be strong against emotions.

Poke yourself in the eye when the moment comes. Problem solved. :)

No worries man, there's always sometime things get emotional. đź‘Ť
 
Just realizing that I forgot to read a book for American studies. I knew I was forgetting homework I just couldn't think of what it was. I'll never be able to read the rest by tomorrow.
 
.....So what grinds your gears is your forgetfulness....

Make to-do lists next time đź‘Ť
 
Damn you toilet!!!! It takes like 2min to fully flush and sometimes just randomly explodes. The back of it will just over flow water like crazy. I'm ****ing sick of cleaning it.

I understand completely. I'm rather emotionally effected by things, more than other but will not/ cannot for the life of me show soft emotion to anyone.

Rage is something I haven't learnt to suppress, being p!ssed off is something I show everyday. They are covers for sadness that I feel.

I convinced myself as a child that a man should be a certain way, never show weakness even to himself for fear of doubt. It's stupid but I've never been able to shrug off this mentality which has resulted in lots of problems along the line.

What I wouldn't give at times to break down and shed a tear, from rage, sadness or other emotion. You're lucky if you have the ability to vent emotions in the appropriate way.

Nan dies? I'll get over it. Broke up with your partner? I'll survive. I really never do, it all ends somewhere down the line when I end up in a blind rage destroying anything in my path, usually myself, through drink and aggression.

That's my take on that.

Moving on.

Today was not the best. Far from it in fact.

I'd been planning to take my wife to the UK for a long time now and everything was in order we just needed to get her visa back from the application centre in Beijing, which arrived today.

Entry denied.

Why? Well the person who reviewed the application was a complete idiot evidently and failed to make even the slightest efforts to contact the listed sponsors and references, on top of that they failed to even study the right documents sent and used the excuse that the supporting documents were insufficient to back up the application.

I know another one here, maybe F1fan had a similar issue, it's 🤬 ludicrous.

I no have 2 options, make other plans to fly at a later date and resend the application with more documents giving the no reason at all to refuse, or go alone, which is the most likely option as it's such short notice to when I'll be flying.

So, at this point I'd just like to say a big

"**** YOU, Home Office UK Border Agency! **** YOU, you self-righteous, lazy pieces of S**T.

Don't think I won't be stopping by next time I'm in Beijing to throw a chair through your office window!"

And so ends my rant.

Did you get whammed Shem? I'd be surprised if you did... you know living in China and all. Do they play Christmas hits of the 80's there?

My gear grinder, finding out my speedometer is out by even more than I remember. I thought it was out by 4-5km/h. Turns out it is out by 6-8km/h. It doesn't sound like much but that is what was causing my problems with everyone overtaking me.
I should get it re-calibrated. đź’ˇ

Mrs Shem had Heart radio on, a London station that plays a load of 80's crap. Couldn't avoid it. Wham! Got me.

Greatings fellow Gear Grinders, allow me to tell you about the last few days....

Today I buried my mums cat, I grew up with him and he has been in our lives for 14years.
I have loved this cat (spike, big ginger tom) since we got him when I was 11 years old.
This sucks and is upsetting me more than I thought it would.

Next is how I'm feeling today, I have a hangover (from saturday!!) and miss my family down south, we just got back from visiting them yesterday and I didn't want to leave.

Today just feels like my family is slipping away from me and that is what Grinds my Gears!

Sad to hear, I know what you mean. I had it earlier this year when one of our dogs, Hazel died. You grow up to love them, it's sad to see them go. RIP to your cat, mate. :(



Anyway, GT5 freezing is grinding my gears, after how long now. :rolleyes: The game still gets black screen online! And it's agitating to finally find a good room, for me to go to change car and then have it freeze. It takes a million years to quit the game, and reload it. I wouldn't have minded if I could have found the room again. :grumpy: Just makes me want December 25 to come quicker so I can swap to GTL and RBR.

You must have heard 'Last Christmas', right? that's the song we're all avoiding.

Fixed! :dopey:

But you can't really see in or out of it, it's just to let light in I think, but it's cold!
 
What grinds my gears today is my brother hitting my table and dropped my precious coffee mug so you can guess what happened :mad:

I'm mad, really mad that he didn't even enter my room and bother to talk to me. Not even an apology! Furthermore, I was cleaning up mmy room and when that happened, I have to clean that spot again including my carpet. Bloody hell!
