Thank F for that, we'd have to call you not human and send you back to whatever planet you came from if you didn't like B&E...

Before, when I was a kid, I used to solve mathematical problems with such ease and efficiency.

Now, I can't. And I'm angry because I can't. :grumpy:

Guilty of this effect. Except I just laughed at everything that happened in my Maths class this year because everything funny happened then :D

I should be fed with some X and Y's to be able to calculate, or if not I'll show off something like "ERROR 1337: Does not compute." :lol:

Eggs... Allergic to them.
Bacon... Yet to try. One of my best friends have a fascination in them so I could have a good excuse to try.
Chicken... :drool:
Seafood... Allergic to them. Not to fish though.
Spicy foods... AHH MY TONGUE, IT BURNS!
Traditional Filipino Cuisine... YES if grilled. Maybe if "adobo" style, depends on the kind of meat and how it was fried. No if finished with some sort of sauce drenching the meat.
Fruits... Yes.
Vegetables... Yes... but sometimes no.
Legumes... PEANUTS
Fine food such as Baby Back ribs... HECK YES.
Chinese food... Sorry mate.

Complete rundown of my culinary tastes :dopey: :lol:

What really grinds my gears is the quality of the posts in the GT5 section. I no longer frequent that section, since it is full of kids and their posts/threads are eyesores. I HATE THE GT5 SECTION. EVERYONE WHO CAN'T RESPECT THE AUP IN THE GT5 SECTION SHOULD BE PERMABANNED!!! :mad:

Yes, I didn't try them yet.

Don't worry though, you know the mods are doing their jobs 👍
 
I know a few people who are vegetarians and as a joke, I said "so, not even bacon?" to which they said no. But then someone else kept on asking one of them "How do you grow? Seriously, why are you not a midget. You need the proteins from meat. zOMG NOT EVEN BACON?!?! How could you?!1"

Just a tad ignorant :lol:.
 
You know what really grinds my gears? When someone says "would of" instead of "would have". The thing that really annoys me is it tends to be native English speakers that make this mistake. If people who can speak English as their second language can get it right, then native English speakers should too. It's not difficult.

As a matter of fact, I know a girl who has English as her fourth language after Arabic, German and French. She does not make this mistake either. Get it right people.

Dislike to certain food isn't weird.

Agreed for me. Which brings me to something that sickeningly grinds my gears...people who dislike my fussiness of food.

I might dislike curry, bolognese, hotpots, broccoli, lasagne, chilli con carne etc etc but that does not mean you should whine about it. Even if you've made it. This really got on my nerves on my camping trip... :grumpy:

I'm gonna be shot now I've said I don't like any of them now. :(

WGMG. Not being able to buy the dog that I want because of my local laws, it is making my life far more difficult that it needs to be.

Why not? I know certain breeds of dogs here are just killed when they get to the shelter.

What grinds my gears? The TSA.

"Oh hey look, that guy who looks awful like a terrorist has a big bulge on his back and just pinged through the metal detector. Do you think you can body search him Doug?

"Nope, I'm sitting here frisking an old lady because she didn't step off the floor matt when I told her to."

"Alright, we'll let him go then."

And another thing, when full blooded Americans can't speak better English than an immigrant. Damn, I'm tired of logging on to Facebook to see some cheerleader 🤬 acting like a 🤬 and saying I'd got dem swag!!!!11!1!!!! It's so annoying.

Which brings me to another thing. When dumb people text me. Seriously, I'm tired of you texting me every five minutes because you think you saw a Skyline in the USA!!! I can tell you, you didn't, now stop texting me!

And one more for the record. I hate it when kids are running around a resteraunt, screaming and shouting, and when they trip, they start to whale and scream and their parents get mad at the restaurant. I was out at a dinner party for my dad after he won an award for work at this fancy steakhouse, and there was an 8 year old screaming and crying because they were running around and he fell down! Parents, control your damn kids!

I don't like any of those things either, apart from curry. I'm particular about food, I don't eat veg other than spuds and I won't eat anything savoury I can't chew; soft or liquidy.
 
When people say "First of all..." without actually following it up with something.


No idea why.....it just annoys me.

 
'First of all...' mean there's something to follow the opening statement, otherwise it wouldn't need to be stated that it's 'first' as it would be 'only'.

What grinds my gears is this.

Please elaborate on what makes a person "look awfully like a terrorist" & how a bulge on his back is some sort of terrorist-related issue? What told you it wasn't a medical issue because I'm fairly certain if it was anything else, he would have had to remove it.
 
Last day at work before vacation and the time jsut doesn't seem to pass by. I've only got to work four hours instead of my usual eight today, too, and it still seems like time has frozen or something. Yuk.

I can relate to that. What's worse, dumb girls. The kind that doesn't get that you don't like them. I mean, nothing wrong if she was cute or anything (I could deal with the dumbness, then, probably), but no, the kind of girl that you seriously don't want around you. So, to sum this up: Ugly stalker girls grind my gears.
 
What grinds my gears is when my dad buys himself a PS3 + Wheel + games when he tells us that he doesn't have money to take us anywhere. Combined with the fact he is, by law, bankrupt :mad:
 
Hey, at least now you can play with them now. Besides, I don't know about where you live, but in Mexico we make roadtrips when we don't have much money for vacations.
 
What grinds my gears is when my brother hates on me because I love My Little Pony!!!!!!!! It sucks!!!!!! I only know one other brony personally, and he just recently moved to Colorado!!!!!

Also when I do stuff for my friends that involves me losing other friends of losing people's respect, and then asking them to do something for me and they don't do it and give me really dumb excuses why they don't.

Also my Fiat's worn Gear Synchro. Grinds into 3rd no matter what. Put it into 3rd slowly, it grinds. Put it into 3rd quickly, it grinds. Skip 3rd, go to 4th from 2nd, and it still somehow grinds a little.

Wait, having girls who are attracted to you grinds your gears? I'd be absolutely flattered if a girl took any form of interest in me, ever, let alone one who actually texted me.

Oh, and I expect that a lot of you will be thinking that this kind of whiney post grinds your 'gears' too. :dopey:
 
Team Fortress 2 starts crashing unpredictably and is becoming unplayable. I'm getting upset over this.
 
What grinds my gears I when I see dudes using the My Little Pony icon for there profile picture. I don't mind girls or women using it, but dudes, Seriously? I though My Little Pony was made for little girls, not for men in there 30's or something.

Depending on the person in question, it can be VERY gear grindy. Especially since stuff like that can drive the girls you are interested in yourself away, if you're unlucky.
 
People who smoke and drink heavily. While one may try to argue that one may do what they want, that it is their own health and, ultimately, life, the fact is that both more often than not confer heavy negative externalities in the form of passive smoking, large public (taxpayer-funded) healthcare costs, violence and other aggressive, uncharacteristic acts. Why people ruin their health, and vicariously that of others', through such means is beyond me.

It shouldn't be such a gear grinder if you know a bit more about the fad, but to be honest MLP disgusts me a bit...

Oh and the unbearable internet lag grinds my gears. That's why I was forced to use Vtunnel when browsing this forum.
