You know what grinds my Gears? Family members who call you “heartless” and “emotionless” just because you didn’t cry at your grandfather’s funeral.
Man, some people...:rolleyes:

Life insurance ads grind my gears. I'm heading into my final exam period, so I've scaled back my part-time hours at school, but I need some noise to stop myself going insane, so I keep the television on. And in the middle of the day, there's half a dozen ads for life insurance. They're all usually long, and they like to be personable by addressing the audience, or by having an "acting" scene. But they all come across as hollow and fake and forced.

Ours are just for injury compensation, and have many obviously faked accidents.

Agreed, I don't cry at funerals, not that I'm happy, but I just don't cry. Then I come off as a heartless douche to people.

I like the one where the fat lady falls and all the contents of her bag spray across the floor with a rather dramatic camera angle... It makes me laugh. :dopey:

Seriously, they're still showing that one?! That was on when I still lived in London! That's the same one where the bloke falls off the ladder too, right?

Grinding my beers tonight are the incompetent staff of my local shop who deliver me WARM BEER! I'm not Chinese, I'll take my brews chilled thanks, you stupid good-for-nothing plebs.

Yep! :lol:

What grinds my gears? Having to wait for another 2 weeks before I can do my theory test again and paying for the privilege. I've been ready to sit my practical test for well over a month or 2 now. :irked:

On top of this they bring me my next batch of beers, yes I know I've had too much already, you're not the only one thinking it, they bring me my beers without my smokes and then have the cheek to tell me that they will only deliver over a certain price. Well, if they'd brought the cigarettes with the beer as instructed then it would be well above the delivery limit!

my mum always felt the need to try and provoke people crying, that wound me up more than the insult that followed.

Welcome to my world!

My weekend starts today (Monday) and I will, without doubt, or the amount of beer I've drank, be up after lunch. :)
 
Study Island. It's this website that you go to to take tests on math related stuff. The schools just LOVE it. I don't. It sucks. I hate it. I don't want to do it. Whenever you get a question wrong, it docks your percentage, and makes it harder to earn the passing grade. Pretty discouraging. Can't you just give me normal homework? You know, that stuff where you did your work and wrote the answers on a paper and gave it to the teacher. But no, it prepares us for state tests. Fantastic.
Screw you study island. Screw. You.
 
I have to do that same crap too! Except it isn't called Study Island. :odd: The worst part is, once your done, the teacher(s) will tell you to do another, and then another, and oh guess what! Another. Sometimes they right down a list of the ones you need to do. :irked: Once finished with requested pre-tests, they tell you to do more just to pass the time. Seriously, W. T. F. :banghead:

Oh wait, want to know the best part? When completing all the pre-tests in the subject, they'll tell you to do another subject. Say, you finished doing Math pre-tests, well sir, your going to do some Science now! B.S. Though, this kind of thing is rare, it's just simply too boring to put up with.

YES! They're so damn annoying! I never get taught how to do any of them and they just say here it's due by Friday. I would just not do them if they weren't 14 points each.
 
Okay, so before everyone hates me, I thought that Arkham asylam, and Arkham city were AMAZING games, and same with the dark knight, but I think that enough is enough, and I'm reaaaaaaly starting to get sick of seeing Batman posted everywhere, and its gotten to the point where it seems like Hollywood is craming it down our throats. I don't hate Batman, and if you like it I dont have against, but its like hearing a good song over, and over, and over again, its great the first few times, but now its just getting plain annoying.
 
Women.

There's two lads I always used to go to the pub with to watch the football in an earlier, more care-free life. We're all married now and all have young daughters (the eldest is just under two, the youngest is four months), so we don't get out much. Our wives decided a little while ago that the wanted to dress the girls up and have a little Halloween party.

So we said "well, we're gonna go the pub and watch the football while you so that"
So they said "fine" but not the female "I said Fine but I mean you're sleeping on the sofa if you do it" thing. They were actually pleased at the prospect, since they could have a "proper girlie day".

So we trot off to the pub on Saturday, watch a couple of games of football, drink about 9 pints and three sambukas each and wobble home. Now, my missus wasn't bothered by this, we said we were going to go and get drunk and that we did. but the other two went balistic basically saying "I can't believe you got drunk while I had to stay here and look after the baby". They were warned what was going to happen, so what's their problem?
 
Problem? You're not psychic. ;)

I understand that it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind at will, after all sometimes us blokes can be a little forgetful. But what gets me is when it's a bit calculated and they set you up for a fall. An example would be where they say, "Yeah, go out with your mates, you don't do it that often." And then hit you with tons of guilt all the next day...

...yes girls, you know you do it! :lol:
 
You two ^^

Have hot the nail on the head.

When you are married no means no and yes means no.

You're in for a surprise mate. The DFS sale is still on.
 
What's the DFS sale?

And anyway...

What Grinds My Gears?

ForzaPlanet.net/forum was unblocked today. Why was it even blocked in the first place? I mean, it was unblocked, blocked, unblocked, blocked, and now unblocked. Why is the IT Department so 🤬 stupid?

DFS is a cut price, uk based furniture retailer. The company has been in trouble for years and is constantly advertising "the sale at DFS". The adverts always say "sale ends *insert date*", but then the sale ending is either postponed, or a new one is started.

In other words, it's always a "sale" at DFS. Prompting one comedian to start a gig with the line "When is it not a sale at DFS?"

I don't do anything for halloween anymore. It's pointless. When I'm older I'll probably use it as an excuse to get drunk...
