What grinds my gears is when I'm waiting in line at the grocery store and someone has a titanic load of stuff and pays with coins, uses a billion coupons, and takes forever to write up a check.
 
Arizona Diamondbacks fans. Especially WHINEY Diamondbacks fans. For instance, Braves win 3-game series, then Diamondback fans go on Yahoo! Sports facebook complaining that the Braves are stupid f:censored:ers because the Diamondbacks were 'supposed' to win. Here's the truth Diamondbacks fans: your team's record is hiding the truth. That truth being that your team is average at best. Your team didn't beat the Braves. Get over it.
 
What grinds my gears? AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. They are sooo boring. You just sit there.....it's just not fun at all! So boring! There are like 7 exceptions. But most of them are just awful.
 
My idleness grinds my gears.

This morning I have spent literally hours deciding whether to play GT, go for a cycle, lift weights at home or veg out and watch movies all day. So far I've accomplished nothing apart from paying the electric bill and post a few messages here. It's now lunch time and I expect I'll spend hour deciding what to eat.

It's so frustrating not being able to make up my mind about one thing or the other because I seem to prefer sitting on my sofa reading threads here than actually doing 'something'. My day is now eating away at it's self and I've nothing to show for it. :grumpy:

I'll join you on this, Sometimes I wish my underpowered Bimmer was a manual shifting vehicle.
 
My strange ability to kill a thread. I've killed at least 10 good threads in under 8 months. :(

Comes back next day. Ooops, looks like I've killed another. :p
 
What grinds my gears? People constantly moaning about fans of some random team. Oh, and arguments over sport.

Same. You know what football fans are like in the uk. It's why I have no interest in the game whatsoever.

More like the engines being powered by those transmissions are boring. The escort I had was so boring with it's low powered engine(108hp but not very powerful with it's torque). At least I got a car with a V6 that produces 170hp and 190ft/lbs of torque, is so much better in city and highway travel. Sure it has a four speed AT but it's a lot better than an Escort's.
 
Some things that pissed me off this morning:

Guy in a Silverado who passed me and the car behind me on a 2-lane road.
Guy who flipped me off for no reason while blasting down the road on his Harley. In fact, there's been a LOT more offensive Glorified Lawnmower Harley riders about lately.

Also, people who drive Grand Ams and Grand Prixs. Seems like no matter what they're in a hurry...

Should take a dump on their bike and call them a 🤬, like on South Park.:dopey:
 
People with short person's disease. Don't think this is an assault on midgets. It's just at short people in general. They get angry so easily, I just find it a good game to wind them up. :p

Yeah. Half the time they just get into a loop, saying the same things over and over... :dunce:
 
My doorbell. God damnit, that thing is so friggin' loud it almost gives me heartattacks whenever someone uses it! It'll kill me one day. And wake me up from death itself as soon as someone uses it again :sick:
 
Found another gear grinder just now.

Basically, one of Germany's biggest broadcasting stations aired a 'report' about this year's Gamescom. And they made sure to show everyone what kind of person would attend there: Smelly, lonely people without friends, who are ugly to boot. They made sure to avoid any 'normal' looking person and had one of those skimpy-dressed girls pass judgment on some of the people in attendence.

That's downright discusting, really. 275,000 people have attended Gamescom this year, and all of us who did are depicted as socially awkward virgins. Oh well, they're bound to get a lot of flak for this.

The whole airport/flying thing grinds my gears. Its just a massive waiting game.
First you have a huge drive to the airport, then you have to wait for check-in to open, then you have to que for years to check-in, then you wait for hours until you can actually board the plane. Then you wait for 20mins until take-off, then you are in the air for hours, then landing takes for ever, then you go through a million passport check things, then wait for your luggage to come through on the belt thing. then you do the whole thing again a few weeks later
 
But that's the whole beauty of it! :sly:

Hey, at least it's cheap...
 
Smokers Grind my Gears, its always the fat old careless one who has to give you a piece of cancer at the cafe. :grumpy:
 
You're in Italy mate. You can't go to another country and expect them to change their way of life to suit you. British people are really bad for this. Not all British people, but some people make no effort to respect the locals.
 
Here's a few more of mine:

Aggressive drivers.
Those that question your opinion instead of giving their own.
The middle finger gesture. I believe it's an ugly gesture used by ugly people.
Michael Cole of WWE.
 
I don't like smokers anywhere, I don't wish for them to change their actions to suit me, but some of them really can get annoying, we were at an empty cafe today. There were loads of tables and this one guy with a cigar sits right next to me and starts lighting it up, could barely eat.
 
Probably, but there was smoke flowing through the holes in my Pasta, he could have moved for 1 day.

+1. I don't really like smoking at all. That doesn't really mean I don't likw the person, but I just don't like smoking, especially if it is indoor smoking. Outdoor smoking doesn't really bother me much.
