What really, really, really, grinds my gears is discovering my newly aquired Alfa romeo 156 SW had next to no oil in it! :eek: I think I caught it just in time, but chuff me, another day or 2 of driving would have resulted in engine failure :cry:

That does suck, but in my experience, if you're going to drive a 156, you're never more than 2 days from failure of something anyway (for instance.. the cam belt or any number of ECUs)


Anyway, my housemates are grinding my gears... again. Much slamming of doors, throwing stuff (each other) around, swearing, shrieking and yelling... still I guess that's love.
 
I actually feel a bit left out right now because I'm 13 and everyone I know has been out with a girl except for me, I have had a couple of crushes though.

It's alright, I've never been on a legitimate date before. I say legitimate because me and a friend of mine have been to a couple of our school dances as a 'date.' I'd like to ask her out but I don't have the self confidence.
 
CARCRASH-Don't worry about it. Being in one at this age sucks, we want to hang out, but can't because of parents driving, though that's about to change for me. There is no definite age for being mature enough though, just use your own judgment.

Gear grinder:
Cavities. Just got three filled at the dentist, two were not even my fault, just bad genes causing weird tooth enamel. The one the dentist numbed needed to be numbed two times more because of being in the fold of enamel, causing him to need to drill deep. That hurt. Now the back of my mouth is numb and tastes like the stuff he numbed it with. Come to think of it, another gear-grinder is my lack of ability to type properly with an iPod touch. This post has been kept grammar-correct by backspacing countless times just to re-type and make the same error again. Really annoying.
 
What grinds my gears? Idiotic, redundant, awfully written, awfully played music which most younger people like over here. If you're from Croatia you'll probably know what I'm talking about. Am I the only one who likes to relax and not to dance on a 🤬 table with music around? Seems so.

I think it's a global problem with young people. That is if the music in question is the same thing.
 
Dumb people on facebook. Apparently I was 'cyber-bullying' when I said one girl was acting like a b****. Nevermind the fact she called me a 🤬 sucking f:censored:t that should burn in hell. She has the nerve to tell people I'm a cyber-bully? After what she said? :mad: What is this crap?
 
The dumb people who think The XL edition of GT5 having 4 new tracks means new DLC that hasn't yet been announced. No: Kart Space I and II, Spa normal and Weather change. 4 tracks, technically.
 
As many have said, if your counting weather change, it's only right to count Kart Space's reverse variations. That makes 6. What I think is it's talking about Spa and Kart Space in general, then 2 new tracks. But, who knows who's right? We'll just have to wait.
 
I hate sore throats. Even more than a runny nose. Earlier today it was extremely sore. The agitation was just so painful than anything else I have experienced for some reason. Now that I took some medicine it'll probably dissipate completely by tomorrow. Hopefully it will.

I hate people like that, don't let it bother you. What did you do? Some girl was saying that I stalked her on Facebook. Which I did not, sigh.

My gear grinder is fear that I won't do good with my career in life, school, etc.
 
@Cowboys965: She dumped my friend, and I made a comment saying "I knew she was bad news when she denied having -insert activity here-". Then she sent me a message saying "Did you call me a 🤬?" and I replied with "No, but you are being a b****. And -name erased- deserves better." Then she flipped out and called me those things. I laughed when I read those, but then she goes and starts saying stuff about me.

You should've typed faster, because then you could say "In before the block!"
:rolleyes:
 
I've got a great gear grinder for you all, just wait until this evening. :p

^ Cliff hangers grind my gears. They don't make me want to tune in for "Next weeks episode of (insert TV show here)." They just piss me off for a short time because I want to know what happens next, and then about 15 minutes later I could give a 🤬 about what happens next in the story. Then when "Next weeks episode of (Insert TV show here)" comes on a week from, I have completely forgotten about it am playing GT5 instead. So why don't they just tell us what happens next in the story instead of giving us 15 minutes of rage?
 
Bethesda are grinding my gears.

Why did they nerf Skyrim on the PS3?

For shame.
 
What do you mean Bethesda nerfed Skyrim? The lagging/freezes, I presume?

Yes mate, fingers crossed patch 1.4 will sort them out. I really hope they do, I put a lot of hours into the game so far.
 
****ing so-called "crush videos"...

Imagine a poor little kitten being crushed, with blood, brains, stuff, heck even its eyeballs popping out... Makes me puke while wanting to shoot the bloody **** off the guy's face.

Don't even bring that up. Had a bad experience before where a woman did it before with high heels in a video! And the people who liked it are the type who would buy a PS3 and smash it in front of the store.
 
My brain is confused. Going back to school for the first time on a Friday is so bad, I spent the whole day thinking it was Monday, only to remember its actually Friday. Got a stack of homework too, but I'll do it tomorrow.
 
@uMadson

1. Why did you have to bring this up?
2. Why do you watch crush videos?
