You know what grinds my gears today? Car names. I'd give you some of the examples. Starts with the recent Honda P-nut, Tata eMO EV... Nissan LEAF? Oh... What else? VW UP?

Is really the future going to be like this?

Lol, you think thats worst? Cadillac made a concept car called the WTF (World Thorium Fuel), the list can keep going with these funny and weird names.

Talking about Cadillac, you know the recent CIEL concept they made? Well, the pronounciation will sound something like 'sial' which in Malay, 'sial' means bad luck :lol:

Heh never really though about that caddy's name. Nissan had a model called the Moco which in spanish means 'booger'.
 
I remember a comedian using that in his line-up.
"I'm not trying to be racist but are those new shoes?"
You can make people's days this way. Say "I'm not trying to be racist..." and then say something not racist at all :P

We've just got Netflix here, and I have to say, it looks good. £6 a month, unlimited movies and TV shows. :drool:

What grinds my gears? The Canadian Netflix having one of the worst selections on Netflix and meaning to cancel the "free trial" but forgetting and getting charged for the next month.

Reminds me of "I'm not a racist, but...".

I agree. Just another way of saying, "I'm racist."

Yeah, I've been looking at it too, there is a free trial available. Be warned though, data usage gets high at top levels (Good quality = 0.3Gb/hr, Better quality = 0.7Gb/hr, best = 1.0Gb/hr and 2.3Gb/hr when you get to 1080p quality). How much you can download depends on your data allowance.
 
What Grinds My Gears on January 12, 2012? Being woken up at 5 am. I need all the sleep I can get. Gahh now I'll be like a zombie today, don't shoot me shem! :scared:. :lol:
 
What's grinding my gears is my DFGT's fault. It seems like a special Alfa Romeo one. Because my DFGT is special and appears to be the only one in existence which does this. :mad: I'll be (on PC games) driving a good race, I'll be going for podium, and EVERY TIME!!!! after about 9 or 10 laps the wheel and pedals freeze in game though the DFGT is fine, but turn the other way and there is no response! I have no control but it does it when I'm turning on and odd angle so it sends me off the track. This was a week ago, I'd put up with it a week so I decided to post a thread asking for help, and that was January 2nd. Here we are 10 🤬 days later and the wheel is pissing me off and still not a single reply on my cry for help! 65 thread views, NO replies. :rolleyes:

When you're anywhere, and there's a piano, and then someone comes along, sits at the piano, and plays the tune 'Chopsticks'

It's more annoying when you're anywhere, and there's a guitar, and then someone comes along, picks up the guitar, plays the tune, Smoke on the Water, and thinks that they're God. :mad:
 
I think the people that go up to a piano or guitar and play a different song are godly. Like if someone played some Beethoven on piano, or played Sweet Home Alabama on guitar. It feels like someone stabbed me in the unmentionables. It REALLY REALLY hurts and grinds my gears because I have to submit my essay today. And I can barely walk.

I was thinking more Wayne's World.

I hate when I go to use a computer in our schools library and somebody has broken off one of the little tabs at the back of the keyboard that keeps it at an angle. And you can't use the other tab because then the keyboard will rock ack and forth.

Yeah, it happens to at the music store I go to here. A lot. It does get to you after a while.

Or you could just stay with the iPad all the time. That's what I'd do. :D

My Gear Grinder, inconsistent homework. Got around 1 1/2 hours yesterday, today, none. Makes it almost impossible to plan after school activities if I have no idea what homework I'm going to get.

That's how it'll be in high-school too. Trust me. It drives me nuts how I'll go weeks without homework, then 1 week I'll have 6 hours of work to do at home a day. It's as if teachers have no clue what they're really doing.

I'm at secondary school, or your high-school. And I haven't been getting this inconsistency in previous years. :indiff:

I get this weird pop-up every 10 minutes or so. It disappears after about 10 seconds. It's just a flashing white underscore on a black background. The name of the pop-up is "C:/progra-1/something/something/McAfee" or something like that. Can someone help me in dealing with this problem?

Sounds like malware or something similar... or your anti-virus is on the fritz.

So this is where the big boys play, huh? Look at the adjective: 'play'. We're not here to play!

It's not an adjective.

I don't care, I'm not even mad.
