What grinds my gears today? The imminent demise of this thread. When I first started posting in this thread, but now with the exception of a few people like TheRealMeyer, shem, madmike1986 and a few others rants, it has turned into a slowchat talking about internet speed. On the internet. :banghead: Seriously people, what part of 'no slowchatting' do you not understand? I mean yes, I'm guilty of doing this too, but is it really that difficult? This thread defines who I am on GTP, a cranky, ignorant bastard who complains about random things. But you haven't seen how crazy I can be, when something I like is taken from me. Now, to my rant for the moment, this streak of days I have attended school. Usually I get 80% in my classes and miss around 12 days a semester because I feel ill, or sleep in etc. However, this year I made it my goal to go as much as possible. And I've only missed 2 days. I had the flu went anyway, and gave it to people. My blatant disregard for others health for my 'streak' grinds my gears.
 
I smell gunpowder..


On the other hand, my bloated stomach is Grinding my Gears, it probably has something to do with this giant bottle of Pepsi sat next to me right now.
 
Ok Vandenal, how's this for a rant.

Im going through a bad patch at the moment. My mum has cancer and she just has a treatment session yesterday, so she cannot do very much this week as she has to rest. That means I dont see much of her, and when I do she is asleep. I am also worrying about her a lot, and as a result I am struggling at school a lot more. Also I havent told any of my friends (they may know via their mums but I dont know) so Im carrying a huge weight on my shoulders.

That better...?
 
Facebook reposts... Sure I do believe in Jesus and stuff but those kind of reposts just floods my wall.

Other than dinner. The school lunch is grease, and breakfast is a biscotti for me. The rest is Christmas cookies and Gushers. In summer when I worked at a fast food stand I ate deep-fried chicken fingers and fries all the time, and felt bad.
Toplesscouple, I'm sorry to hear that, and that's why I don't think anyone should go through with it.
What grinds my gears is the keyboard on the school's Macbooks. Why do we need Macs? They're more expensive, and have less to offer as far as word processing and other things in my opinion.

I really hope your mum gets better matty. Cancer is a vile thing, and I know what it's like when someone's ill and there's nothing that you can do to help them. :guilty:
 
The GT5 section at the moment grinds my gears as it is all full of threads about the DLC and update 2.02, I won't be going near it for a while.

I know. It's like a room full of 4 year olds.
 
Grrr, people who are too stupid to realize that clot can be used as an insult, and think it the normal meaning. Clot meaning 1: A thick, viscous, or coagulated mass or lump, as of blood. Meaning 2: Brit informal - a stupid person; fool. My family says I'm not so smart, then how come they can't realized that clot can be offensive to someone. Maybe if their pea brains were replaced with a rock named Gibbity Goo who is thrown into the river, sinks to the bottom and floats beck up afterwards finding it was indeed hollow.

I get called "thick" all the time. Never heard of being called a "clot."
 
^ That's because America wouldn't really know of the word. However England does, and when you watch English Television you hear it.

I mean English comedies. The good comedies at least.

Now my mother is pissing me off, I don't mind helping her. I'll repeat what just happened.

She asks, can you unload the dishwasher. Easy, so I unload it, then she asks. "Can you, WHY ARE YOU SO USELESS!!!?" So she yells at me for being useless after not actually asking me to do something. So I argue back trying to make her make me help out. So she tells me to get dishwashing liquid from the kitchen. So I get one. And she screams at me for getting a full one. But there weren't any used ones in there. Turns out the dishwashing liquid she requested was in the bathroom, NOT the kitchen, so I get screamed at for it. How unbelievably mental can someone be!!!? She doesn't let us help and then screams at us for not helping. :mad: Such a pain!!!
 
Stupid people online in GT5.

Race on Rome, Shuffle Race. This guy hits the wall after the chicane, gets hit by the guy behind him, I pass for 1st, and after get told I bashed them. And then I get told I hit a guy I COULDN'T EVEN SEE and was loading on the screen for me.

I get kicked. It was a guy on my friends list's room too.

Edit: Just looked the guy up on GTP, and apparently he's BANNED I think. And his rooms are sometimes called GTP Rules.

Friends:So whats your favorite Honda besides the NSX, or S2000

Friends:CR-X sucks, no Vtec

Me:.....WAT!!!!!!!!???????
 
So, I was on Live For Speed, doing 165MPH in a rented FZR. I blasted straight past a parked cop, doing this speed disabled the speed clocker. He quickly pulled out and started to chase me down, I was completely unaware until I got the end of the straight and spun round to do another run. He was still coming down the opposite direction and slides into my lane, forcing my car off the road, onto the grass and I spun around. I then say "Hello Officer" and he replies "Son, do you have any idea how fast you were booting that thing back there?"
- "No"
-- "I'm going to have to charge you with dangerous driving, speeding, and careless driving"
-"S**t"
--"Now I'm charging you for language"

At this time it was clear I was going to lose a huge chunk of money, so I did what somebody with a keyboard should never do, and raced off. Within seconds, two more units were chasing me. I sped past somebody in a UF1, scraping him off the road as I drifted into the other lane. I forced 3 cars to steer erratically off the road. At this point stopping just wasn't an answer. And one officer pulled out in front and braked. Doing so left me with a gap to spin the car onto the other lane and race off in the other direction. A cop was waiting for me at the end of the straight.. Approaching him, I went left and over the restricted speedbump area, hitting a few tires. I steered around the corner and blasted down the pit lane at 110MPH. There were 3 cops waiting for me in there, two had formed a roadblock at the end of the narrow pit road. I stepped on it and crashed through the front to front weak spot. I lost control upon doing so and crashed into a pit garage and got stuck.. Within seconds, it was over. They had me.. I was up with some heavy charges..

It Grinded my gears..

I fear for people's lives for when you get an actual license. :lol:
 
I'm sure Jai is intelligent enough to realise the difference, and understand when speed is not acceptable (even within the speed limit).

I love BBC radio comedies. Specifically Old Harry's Game and Cabin Pressure. And the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, of course.
 
Whenever you do something that you didn't pay attention to. Like for instance I got a banana from my fruit bowl for no reason, nor pay any attention when I got it. I didn't realize this as soon as I bite into it :grumpy:

I call this autopilot, thanks for reminding me about how much it grinds my gears. (sarcasm) All the time in school I just don't even know what I'm doing as I walk through the halls.
