Na, just like me I suppose. An unchallenged master mind who reqires more satisfaction than present life can offer.

To me that is gibberish.
 
@Matty: Basically means I'm smarter than some people, and am not currently happy with life (I used to be).
 
GT5's Oil Change and Restoration process. Then need to allow you to change the oil of multiple cars at a time as well as do rebuilds for multiple cars. I have about 100, give or take, cars that need oil changes and engine/chassis rebuilds but it takes so long to do.

I'll take your word for it. :lol:
 
I got one. People who put a link to the search button in their sig. Who aren't mods obviously. It's like they want to be mods, and putting a link is a bit patronising when we are all capable of finding it ourselves.
 
@Matty: Guilty. Back to me now. Redskins just stopped playing with 5 minutes left. And we just lost the game because of Rex Grossman.

I'd just like to add that I have 100 posts in this thread. That means lots of things grind my gears. Sadly im still way behind VANDENAL, the most gear grinded person ever.

How did you get there? :odd: I've never seen anything like that. (Your screenshot thing)

Hey, I'm in the top ten! :P
 
Yes, it's actually quite interesting when you observe trends about who posts how often in a thread like this over a period of time - I can't imagine how angst-y the people up at the tops of the charts must be though!

But i'll contribute to the problem by saying that exam prep is a minor gear-grinder: don't like mindless studying, but oh well...
 
New York Jets grind my gears. 1st and Goal at the Redskins 9-yard line, we're already losing by 9 and we aren't going to comeback. So what do they do? See a mismatch on our D, call an audible, and run it in for a TD. They run up the score. Which is disgusting to me.

What song?

An original I was working on at the time.

Argh!

That's a nightmare, glad to see another member into music.
I also dabble now and then when I have the time, currently working on new material, but my old stuff can be found here:

I like the feel of New Hope, though the bass doesn't work at 2:05, then it changes and it sounds good again. When you fit the keyboard with the bass what you're playing sounds quite good. The end could be smoother. :p For the last song I was trying to fit vocal lines in it in my head. ;)

My laptop now grinds my gears... It's been lagging and lagging and it's eating up my memory! Firefox lags stopped responding every single minute. This is ridiculous!

That's because Laptops are stupid! :p

My connection grinds my gears.

PLDT promised me a 512kbps connection when all I have for downloading is 70kbps. Lame.

Simraceway also grinds my gears, can someone tell me how the hell can I install this simulator I've been hyped for? The download link the official site gave me yielded a corrupted installer. ARRGGH

I've officially been put off Simraceway. :( Now I'm only going to have one game when I get my graphics card. Not the two or three planned. :grumpy: That grinds my gears.

These new smilies however... Do not Grind my gears, THEY'RE AWESOME!!! :gtplanet: 💡 :lol:

Our router grinds my gears. The damn thing is lazy as hell and decides to throw me a "DNS Error" whenever it doesn't feel like working. Lately it's been deciding to quit working every night at around the same time. Piece of crap.
 
Decisions grind my gears. My girlfriend and I are basically running down a list of countries where we can both be together. We're looking at jobs in Canada (where I eventually want to emigrate to), but I'm slightly put off by the fact that the ones we are looking at are short term.

There are many ways for us to emigrate to Canada. Personally, I was thinking of studying so that I can meet their required occupations, but my girlfriend found out that we can apply for jobs that no Canadian wants. Do this for 3 years out of 5 and we can emigrate properly... It is a very enticing prospect.

However, if it falls through, I'm looking at moving to Japan. We talked about living in Tokyo. I can teach English. And the thought of living there does sound exciting, but obviously, it will come with a lot of difficulties.

So in other words, my girlfriend and I can't be together in my country due to their astronomical requirements for immigration.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
 
Cowboys just missed the go ahead field goal and are now going into overtime against the Arizona Cardinals! Argh!
 
How stupidly they portray people in movies. Just got done watching Quarantine and I wanted to pull my hair out from the people's stupidity. Dark and scary room with heavy breathing being heard in it? Yea let's go in it, I've got nothing but a camera that I don't even use as a weapon but what can go wrong?

How exactly do you mean?

Do something that is technically correct but not actually correct. Don't do it, unless you want your superiors (whether they be teachers or bosses) to hate you.
Actual example from a quiz my teacher gave: Say whether the statement is true or false, and if it is false correct it.
Water that has a DO of above 90% is excellent and is best for the life in that body of water.
Student Answer: Water that has a DO of above 90% is excellent and is best for the life in that body of water.
 
Wow I've missed a lot by not being on here in a 24-hour period. I never knew I was in the top 10 in this thread, cool.

My gear-grinders:

History. I took regular instead of honors because I don't like the school's class, and I end up more in depth and more worked than any honors class because our teacher is literally a psycho. It scares me a little.

Also, the fact that a lot of smileys don't work on the app. Is it just me?
 
No offense, but how does that help my girlfriend and I choose what country we can be together in? Am I missing something or did we cross wires?
 
So I go to play PS3 and find all my stuff saying stuff like "I'm a homo" and etc. So I say to my brother I guess you really don't wanna use my PS3 do you? After pretty much telling him to grow the Fu** up he hits me in the face with a laptop while I played Battlefield 3. So I got up punched him in the face a few times and got him into a onto the ground and held his arm down. This is after telling him about two weeks ago that if he fu*** with ANYTHING on my PS3 again I'm not letting him use it. Now my hand hurts really badly and I can't even do my homework. Wonderful.
