My latest gear grinders are two separate parts of my body.
1. My nose, it's been running all day. Now I have to drink re-branded Lemsip, which I hate.
2. My fingernails. The ends of my fingers have been stinging all day after I clipped my fingernails. The worst part was that I managed to take off some skin from around the nails as well.

Man, what a day today. I actually feel great, only one thing ticked me off a bit. Well, I got sent a message from my ex-gf's mom. Basically got called a sick pervert. Seriously? Don't try to parent me when you don't even parent your own daughter. Take care of your own damn problems before telling me what to do. Because what good parent lets their kid smoke 🤬 and drink liquor all the damn time? A terrible one.

I spent most of my school hours drawing a poster for Literacy Week*. I only drew 5 things: An empty scroll, a Dr. Seuss-style Green ham & the cat, a mockingbird, a surrealistic eye, and a 70s spaceship on a 70s Moon-y terrain. But what is the gear-grinder? I wasn't finished, and that I messed up on my coloring on some parts 
The two other selections/students, they drew their own posters. Both covered mostly celebrities. However it was fun doing such an activity!
*A week about literature, basically

Do you mind me asking why she called you a "sick pervert?"

That's harrassment. Also, how did she get your number?

No I wouldn't mind Schwartz. One day the ex and I had a chat about what we would do with each other. What I said wasn't even that bad anyway. Apparently wanting to make love with your girlfriend makes you sick?

Yes, being a normal human makes you a sick pervert. That is what I don't understand. How can parents talk like that after every single one of them have gone through exactly the same thing at some time in their life? (hence they have kids)

Just ignore it mate. You're not a sick pervert. She probably just found out about it and your ex was too embarrassed to admit that she did it too.

Ah high school love....it's so hilarious to watch because it's so much in dream land it's not funny, especially how they think they know what love is when they haven't actually experienced it before or even had proper life experiences outside of school.
Yes, that grinds my gears.

People that don't decide to use or just don't know proper grammar, especially on the Internet. I mean seriously, is it that hard to use the proper version of there/their/they're, to/too/two or you're/your? And txtspeak, oh txtspeak, that really ticks me off. Anybody the uses it is just ignorant or just really, really lazy.

^ Agreed, it would make sense when it was really hard to type on our mobile phones with a normal keypad. There's no excuse to use it on systems with full keyboards.

This is the product of the public school system in the USA. The government does everything better than those greedy private sector folks. Yeah, ok. I still find it hard to believe that in this economic situation we're in, that anyone would be ignorant enough to turn to he government to fix our problems. On a worldwide note, when has a government done anything (other than military) better and within the budget they set than the private sector?
Easy answer, NEVER.

This. I have known this for years. When people at my school say to eachother "love you" they don't know what their saying nor what I means. And that relationship is just going to be hell in the end......

I think that Internet relationships are worse, especially when two young people plan on meeting each other in real life later on. I actually know a couple that are younger than I am that plan on doing this. They've even gone as far as trading phone numbers already.
It makes me irritated to see people think this sort of thing will work out.
