What's grinding my gears? I sat weird at a movie yesterday so I have a stiff shoulder. :grumpy: I liked it a lot though, got to be with my girlfriend so that's a good thing!
 
You know what sucks? Those trolls that park next to you in GT while you're typing. Now, it wouldn't be so bad if they just sat there silently, but no, they just have to honk and rev their engine incessantly. Makes me want to blow my brains out; it's that annoying.
You know what else sucks? Drums. Some person in my neighborhood has chosen to play the drums, and they're near my house. And they're not very good. And they've been repeating the same beat over and over and over. Can't I just have peace and quiet? :grumpy:

Oh hell no. You did not just dis the coolest instrument(s) in the world. Honestly, drums are the easiest instrument to learn, and the hardest to sound good on.

But the constant repition is called practice. It will make them sound good, and less annoying.

Hi, lads! May you please stop repeating the same beat over and over? I am trying to drink some tea while playing a video game. Thaaanks!

Don't tell me if we were racing and you were winning and I took you out you wouldn't even be just a little frustrated. I don't get super angry and rage, I'm just saying it would be nice if I could play some games online and actually race.

It's Facebook. What do you expect?

Exactly, people that use that aren't people, they're just Computer Generated. You never see them in real life so they must not be real.

I've never even tried Facebook before. After Bebo I decided I'd never do any of that stuff again. It's a waste of time and I just find it irritating. I just see those sites as a place where people fight for attention.

Its just a game, chill out. What grinds my gears? Writing a serious post about my goal for the new year, get one like. Write a pointless status about food, and get five likes. What the heck?

I know right, I just found a perfect example of this. Someone put...

"i cnt stand strait, this took me 10mins to write hahahaha"

So they are obviously drunk, or on drugs. And it took them 10 MINUTES to forget to put in a full stop, capital letters, apostrophe's, just general grammar and can't wrong. And use the wrong strait. :mad:

11 people like it... :rolleyes:

In fact, I don't know if I've even met this person. Maybe I have but they were just such a loser I blanked it out.
 
@BubbleBelly No, actually I wouldn't be. A little upset, yes, but then I'd remember I have a PS3, GT5, and a high-speed internet connection and be happy. Whereas people (like myself) don't have a ps3, gt5, or high speed. @Skython: Yeah, the druggies on Facebook are stupid, and pathetic. If someone talks about drug use online, the police should show up at their door, punch them in the face, and arrest them. I can't stand those peoples idiocy.
 
[rant]Some kids at my school think that they can just go through life with no responsibilities, and all that boyfriend/girlfriend drama actually matters. That is why I don't have a facebook. Quite frankly, I don't give a flying 🤬 what goes on in your life, because chances are it is pointless bull:censored: that gets in the way of things that actually matter. Most kids at my school could give a 🤬 about anything that goes on outside their little group of friends and the resulting drama. You know what, that drama is nothing compared to the middle east, or anything else in the world. These are the stupid people that make all Americans look like careless, self absorbed pieces of 🤬. [/rant]

I think you just matured quicker than all the others. :)

At my age group (mid teens), I'd expect them to at least know what "Occupy Wall Street" is, but no. Especially the girls, who go on PMSing on Facebook about how their "life is nothing without you."

Exactly!
They completely fail to understand that their life is completely worthless to 99.99% of the world, because they cut themselves off with their little facebook circle. Oh, and I hate the parents who treat their kid like they are going to be something special someday. I'll be the first one to admit that my life is a tiny little spec of nothing in the whole scheme of things. But hell, at least I will attempt to make something of it. Those other kids though... "Oh, I'm so awesome, I'm going to go party and blow all my money on weed and when I get older I'm going to own a Lamborghini because I'll have alot of money because I have alot of friends and I'm cool." Give me a :censored:ing break. You make no attempt to better yourself, weather its in getting smarter by paying attention to the world or just becoming a responsible human being. Luckily, my parents were always pretty realistic about the world and basically straight up told me I would never be anything unless I worked at it. Chances are, no matter how hard I work I will never own a Lamborghini anyway. Maybe its all that damn lil wayne music crap...

Most of my Facebook friends are not like that. They post things here and there but not like every minute saying what they're eating and what not, and I do the same. I mostly use it because I don't have a phone to text, and for me personally I dislike texting. In addition to that, I use it to stay in contact. Obviously all of them do not follow that dating lifestyle, either.
 
^Basically. If I'm feeling down I always go on Facebook to laugh at the small problems most the people face. I also hate those posts that seem like they belong on a businessman's wall. My friend trolled this one girl the other day.

Girl-"No matter what you say, I'll always be beautiful."

Friend-"That's why you edit all your pictures."

Other Friend-"I hate to say it, but I lol'd."

Two hours later, those comments were deleted. :lol:

EDIT: I also hate posts that have nothing to do with the subject at hand. I posted the other day.

Me-"I dodged 99 arrows but my knee took one."

My Grandma-"Hi [BLANK NAME] how r u? R u going to a New Years Party tonight? JK luv u!!!!

What grinds my gears more are people substituting "r" and "u" for "are" and "you". I don't use that in text messages even, neither does my girlfriend! Please, at least get minor things like this right and I'll bother reading it through again.

Everyone is out with friends. And I'm... Alone. Ughh, why must the rest of society shut the door on me for being different? I'm normal, my 'disabilities' don't make me not human, so why am I often treated as such? I don't like it. Cheers to those who are also alone. It's not fun.
 
Watching an amazing 4 or 5 series of NCIS episodes in a row in a marathon that all kept a case going, and then finding out after that an NCIS: Los Angeles exists.
*sigh*

Double shows, where I think the original is best.

^ Don't you have OCD? I don't really understand why people wouldn't like you...
 
Please please please, for any people who do shopping... if a store is closed, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIGHT YOUR WAY IN, it's not the employee's fault you arrived 2 minutes late.

True story?

Damn right it's a true story. At least, it happened to me before when I was closing the shop up. Some moron watched me close the store and lock the door. As I was walking away, I saw him shoving the door for a second or two. Then he realized we were closed.

Things he missed.

1. The Lights were off.
2. I entered the alarm code.
3. I unlocked the door, stepped outside and then locked the door.
4. The shutters were down.
5. I walked away from the store.

But he wasn't the most idiotic "customer" I ever encountered. The store I used to manage closed. The letting agent let us out of our lease early because someone else wanted it. The catch was, we had to clear out in a day.

One idiot tried for thirty seconds to open the locked door. He was looking through the glass and saw an empty store. We were sweeping up and doing a quick check over the store. My area manager eventually told me to go and see what he wanted. I opened the door and he said "are you open?".

I looked round to the empty shop floor that had nothing on it and said "We're closing". :banghead:
 
@Cowboys965 ADHD, OCD, NLD, I do my best to not let those things affect me. Yet I'm still 'different and awkward'.
