Ordering extra large fries for once, just to find out they're luke warm when I get home. Where's a "FUUU" smiley when you need it.
 
Tim Hortons... How many times must I order and pay for a large ice cap, to have the employee try to fob me off with a medium (that even says medium on the cup). Then it turns into an arguement and eventually I get what I paid for.

This has happened to me in three different stores within the last month.
 
My dog.

A 4-year old Border Collie is afraid of all cats in the world except for my one. She runs away from them. But attacks the vacuum cleaner :grumpy:
 
@F1 Fan: Similar thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. Except I got a small when I ordered a medium. I had to argue for like 5 minutes. Can't have large Ice Capp's because I get all jumpy and hyper.

The last time it happened, I had the receipt in my hand that clearly said "large ice capp". I had to play spot the difference with the idiot who gave me the cup labelled "M"

Just remembered this: people who make 'Keep Calm and Carry On' spoof posters yet fail to use the correct font.
 
Getting to the start of the 5th race in the Formula GT championship in B-Spec, only for the 🤬 game to hang while loading the Monza circuit... there's another 3 hours completely wasted :grumpy:
 
Getting lost for 3 hours while looking for the shop to get your PS3 fixed only to find out that you've passed it 5 times.

Damn you, GPS :grumpy:

Why do you keep going there? I'd be fed up by now.
 
Is it like when one buys bacon but most of it is fat yet once said bacon is consumed there is all the more reason to go back and buy the very same bacon?
 
Everytime I click 90 in this thread Vtunnel loops me back to 89.

Don't start grinding my gears really hard, internet connection. This is only gonna get worse.

Because Tim Hortons are everywhere in Toronto and we're currently seeing out a warm summer. I'm from Scotland where our summer is all of about one day, so I'm finding this constant heatwave difficult. I'll either buy a Tim Horton's iced capp or a 7eleven slurpy to keep me cool.

Thats similar to how Much Music (Canadian version of MTV I think) operates anymore. All that's on there is One Tree Hill, Degrassi and todays crappy music. Well at least the Much More Music channel has rock music on sometimes and if there is a show its actually about music.

You should hear italian MTV! :lol: They played Lady Gaga's 'Edge of Glory' 3 times on one hour. Then they played this one Coldplay song repetitively, along with a playlist of 14 other songs which would go round and round and round.

And did I mention Rhianna's 'California Kind Bed'? :crazy:
 
List of stuff that grinds my gears:

People who type in Spanish in a ENGLISH ONLY chat room

6-year-olds who try to look tough by cussing at random people

when people participate in stupid, pointless arguments, for example: Metallica vs. Megadeth argument, Whether AWD drifting is "true" drifting or not, Battlefield vs. Call of Duty, etc.

when people drive dirty in gt5 in a CLEAN racing only lobby

when you get kicked out of a lobby in gt5 for stupid reasons (being better than somebody, because the host thinks you suck, people saying you were driving like a jerk when you weren't, etc.)

Show-offs (the mean ones)

and lot's, lot's more.
 
Pointless sarcasm, trolling, total bull:censored:, people who say they've changed but really are just the same, and two-faced lying jerks. You know who you are. Wouldn't be saying much if people kept their 🤬 mouth shut.
 
Here's a message to all the guys who complain about Family, Faux Friends, People in general and Life being a 🤬:



Seriously, if you can't cope with the crap every single person gets everyday, at least don't make some huge drama about it and do something about it instead.
 
The moron who decided that a seasonal of a 2010 Impreza at Laguna Seca was a great idea. I've won the Lotus Elise race, and the Fiat one, but this. After two hours. I lost first, by just a tenth, a single damn tenth. 20 meters and I would have won. :mad:

I should be ashamed, complaining a VIDEO GAME is too hard, :p. How pathetic. ;)
 
Waking up early for fishing. Love fishing but hate the early wakeup time required. I look like I've been hit by a train.
 
AOS-
When you're having such a nice dream, then you wake up to reality.

Yaywalter agrees :lol:

Anyway...the inability to sleep at times. Last night I went karting and from all the adrenaline I had, even a couple of hours after returning home, I didn't get to sleep till about 1:30 I reckon. And I went to bed at about 23:15 :irked: Woke up at 9 as a result of it. :(

What happened at me just a bit ago.

On a REALLY hot day like today...
Went home on my lunch break (as usual, since I live 5mins from work), and there wasn't a single space for me to park my car on the shade because about half a dozen of my moronic neighbours decided their car was too cool to occupy just one space.
Had lunch and got into the boiling hot car (no AC), arriving back to work looking like I've just ran the freaking marathon... :ouch:
 
If it's on this website, why not put the report button to use? It's there for a reason.
 
My friend of the same-age who, as an only-child and son to a businessman who owns and runs Ferrari and Fiat in my city, drives a Porsche 996 911. :(

Oh, and bad breath.
 
Biggest gear grinder as of late:
The girl I really like is struck with borderline personality disorder. Sucks quite a bit, but oh well, nothing to be done about it, right now. :indiff:
