Agreed! But what really grinds my gears are the Grinds My Gears post whores!

...although all I need are another 140-odd things to moan about - easy!

:utter****e:

D'you know what grinds my gears? When you have to select a language, and they have a US flag next to 'English'. It's English, not American!

Yes, but the issue is Americans recognising anything but their own flag....
 
Yeah, because there is no such thing as American English?

Certain things are different between English and American English, so that could explain that.

VANDENAL - 248
Jai - 144
Shem - 141

I used to be second, and now I'm out of the top three! :)

VANDENAL, I'm catching you..


The fact that the ghost I heard last night isn't here anymore, I wanted to catch it..

No, I'm not suggesting there isn't. But when we are talking about a game, there are likely to be very few differences. I think the issue is having the US flag to represent the British.
 
When my brother or pretty much anyone else uses my phone and make changes to it... I just don't understand why?

When someone interrupt me when watching motorsports... Just irritating!

EDIT: Today hasn't really been my day, really...

I suggest you never have kids, then.

:lol:

That's all right, my wife can handle them for me. Furthermore, by then I'd have my own 'Motorsport' room so no one can interrupt me anymore :D

Suggestion #2 for the day, then: I suggest you never have a wife, either. "I'm going to my motorsport room. I'll be back out in 3 hours" won't end well for you. Unless your goal is to come out to an empty house, in which case carry on.[/lifecoach]

That's all right, hopefully she will understand me better... ;)

Thanks for your suggestions matey :lol:

I just say

"Great, the racing is on!"

And that's how my house works.
 
This.

This ignorant son of a gun has the nerve to say all of that bull about us. We have every right to be in a conference like them, if not more. We may not be as good as past years this season, but we've won more big games BY FAR than Carolina and Carolina has won nothing important in football since I've been alive. You may have won yesterday Carolina, but we'll come back tougher, louder (crowd), and faster next time.

Speaking of that, I hate when websites hire bloggers as journalists. They can never manage to write a story without putting their opinion in it.

I want to read a story, with facts, not some bloggers ill informed opinion.

Seems like it is a problem that is really getting bad over the net.:nervous:

👍 And then Carolina fans had the nerve to tell me that the Daily Tar Heel doesn't represent Carolina. Sorry, your school newspaper represents your school. The writer was interviewed on the Greenville news and didn't even take anything back when given the chance. Ignorant.
 
When your sitting at the traffic lights and ten kids on mopeds cut in front of you and start revving their engines T_T

True does make you lol.

Fanboys also grind my gears, who gives a crap if you think your console is better. Fanboys (from what I've experienced) only play CoD.
 
People who think they're better than you. Ok there kid, you wear a Michael Jackson hat, keep making a fool of yourself, moron.
 
When people (especially Brits and Canadians, because I've seen it most from them) think ALL Americans are fat, lazy, and stupid. Sure, we have fat lazy and stupid people, but what country doesn't. And sure maybe we have more fat people than other countries (myself included), but its not something we are proud of and it's recognised as a huge problem here.
 
When people I knew back in high school but barely ever talked to IRL randomly ask me to do something on photoshop for them...especially when it's an entire project. I'm thinking "What is this?! Not even a hello, or friendly chat?"

That did happen to me a couple of times with photoshop, but it's mostly about help with computers :lol:

In all fairness the conversations do start with "how are you doing?" but it quickly becomes "Hey, can you do this for me?". Oh, so that's why you're calling me... :irked:
 
Personally, I don't mind if it's a question, I'm more than happy to answer it.... if it's like a small request like resizing, or something that mundane, I'll do it... or provided detailed instructions (because I can :p)..

however, we almost never talked before, and the one and only time they ever contacted me was to do their work? It feels degrading....

No I'm not going to MAKE the poster for you. That's your job, not mine. Want me to do draw something for you? Pay me. :banghead:

Some of the fellow trainees at work are like that, too. I get along with most of them pretty well, but some are just... Well, I don't like them, and it seems to be mutual.

And as soon as there's something they can't handle that relates to either English or MS Excel, they come to me for help... I generally tell them to get lost, but in some cases, I might actually do something for them. Do it wrong, that is.

And it's hard to go up to your superior and go "Hey boss, that guy's at fault, I asked him to do the task assigned to me, and he did it wrong on purpose!"

Hah, I'm such a despicable person at times. Towards people that annoy me, of course :lol:
 
^ I would definitely say no, but doing it wrong just to get them into trouble? :lol:

Well, maybe with someone that just can't understand that no means no, then I might do such a thing :p

The UK has an appalling amount of fat people these days, it's not just America.

I tend to reserve that treatment for the kind of people who are constantly trying to get others to do their work for them... There are a few of those around and I just despise that :lol:

Nothing wrong with asking for help, but some people are just trying to get rid of all the work they're supposed to do themselves...
