I'm watching supercross right now. Pretty entertaining.

What's grinding my gears? My stupidity! :lol: I went karting today and I was gripping the wheel too hard, so my fingers now feel like they've been shot. Still, couldn't ask for a better afternoon. Made 2nd place time of the week there, so pretty proud about that!
 
Those people that say "That's so gay" about everything they dislike. Grinds my gears so much. :grumpy:

In my experience those people are about 11. People my age either don't respond or just respond with an expletive.

Yes, this. And it corrects "Shem" to "ahem". And many others. So annoying.
 
When you busting for a pee and there's someone in there taking a No. 2! I didn't think my bladder could hold on any longer! :scared: :mad:

There was only one toilet? Anyway, I agree. Especially on long car journeys, and they're no service stations for miles.

There's another one. But only my parents are allowed to use it. Annoying thing is. IT WAS MY DAD TAKING A DUMP!!! :p

Usually there's one R&R (a stop) every 30-50km. They have toilets, but they're dirty like hell! If I have a stomach ache, I'd be like...

Oh ****!!! :mad:

Today's rant is about Apple.
Not about the company. Not about their products. Not about people who like them.
No.
About people who dislike Apple and their products.
For no reason.
I don't get it! I am sure there are a lot of things to dislike about Apple and their products (the closed system architecture, the abnormally high price tags, the OS etc.). But if you have never even used one of their products outside a store and longer than 5 minutes and 23,75 seconds, how can you genuinely develop a dislike for everything they have ever done?

Example time.

A friend of mine, who was, is, and will always be a Windows user (didn't even try Linux for once, hates it too - ironically posesses an Android smartphone) is such a hater. I have recently told him about how I would like to buy a MacBook at some point, preferrably for going to University.
The second I tell him he starts going into ultimate rage mode. He voices his infinite hatred for the company and their products, preferring expletives to substantiate his hate speech. I tell him that he has never used an Apple product outside a retail store, but that wasn't such a good idea, as my words probably fueled his anger and he continues to bash.
At this point I realized it's not worth a try discussing with him, so I leave the chat.

So tell me, how does this work? How does one justify his dislike against something he has never used long enough to present each aspect of it? And where does he take the hatred from?

So much for a comeback.

See you around,

That's kinda like the XBOX/ PS3 fanboys who have never even tried the other system but hate on it. You can't judge the other if you really haven't tried it.... It's best to just walk away from those situations.
 
Personally, I dislike Apple mainly for the fact that I've grown up with Windows, so I find it much easier to work with, versus Mac OSX. I have to say, their products are a major technological advancement.

Then again I hate Windows for having the most stupid troubleshooting support ever. "Windows cannot connect to the internet. Try Diagnosing the problem?" "Windows cannot diagnose the problem, please connect to the internet to find out more."

What's grinding my gears right now? Asthma. I've been getting it a lot more now that I have to ride my bike to and from school each day.
 
Personally, my dad is a Windows man, so our household computers are windows based. (not counting various iPads and iPhones). But I'd kill to be posting this on a MacBook Pro.

My gear grinder, the cold. Just been rowing, and I can't feel my feet. :grumpy:
 
You know what grinds my gears today? Mouth ulcer. Why? Because it gives me a pain in the mouth! Now I can't eat properly, speak properly and even shutting my mouth properly... I wonder how much of the gel do I have to put in my mouth because I need to get rid of it as soon as freaking possible! :mad:

And don't forget to blame the pitch, the wind, the air moisture, and any other excuses footballers come up with. :lol: At the end of the day of course...:sly: (Michael McIntyre reference)

Oh yeah, the pitch was really muddy we had the wind against us and it was really dense air so the ball didn't move as fast through it.:D
