It was OK. Cold, obviously...

What grinds my gears is that I tested a beta of an app, so when I bought the finished version the developer tried to pay me back, but by doing so made me unable to access the app. I'm so angry now I feel I need to punch something...

Hint recieved. 👍 I've screamed into my pillow a few times, that seems to have card me down.

Interesting, I guess you aren't going to punch anything now

Nope. :D Annoyingly, I cant get someone out of my thoughts, and I know we can't be together. :crazy:

The fact I will never be a professional race car driver grinds my gears. It would be so awesome. But never will it happen.

I'm never going to be one either. Maybe because I'm as lazy as a man who can't be bothered thinking of a better simile. And isn't actually interesting in professional racing.

Neither can I. :(

But what's grinding my gears is that Comedy Central never plays anything good on the weekends, it only plays stupid movies and the crappy TV shows.

There's no money for me to enter some form of racing. Sure you start at a local track with some beat up four cylinder piece of crap, but there's fuel costs, tire costs, transportation (my nearest track is an hour and a half away), buying the car, maintaining it, repairing it, even reinforcing it and adding a roll cage. Fire suit, entry fees... It all adds up. Plus I'm 14 years old so I can't get a job for two more years!

Also grinding my gears, the way the British commentator on the Speed channel for the Rolex 24 says Daytona like 'Daytonar'.

The advantages of labelling everyone as idiots is an advantage here. Then you never come across that problem.
 
What really grinds my gears is the people who have rich mommy's and daddy's and get anything they want and with not a single bit of hard work to earn it. While most hard working people who work their fingers to the bone for years don't even have the money do buy a tenth of what they have and don't show even a crumb of appreciation for. Just pisses me off

On a similar tangent, I'm experiencing anti-intellectual sentiments on Facebook.

All I'm doing is pointing out some of the inconsistancies in the English language and all of a sudden I'm being accused of trying to passively criticise poor English grammar.

When in actual fact, I pointed out an inconsistancy, verb wise, between going somewhere, and having been somewhere. Different verbs.

I never mentioned anybody's name nor did I make any assumptions. I was endulging in a hobby of mine. That is all.

Well, if you simply label everyone you see as an idiot you never come across the problem of wanting to be with someone, because they're stupid.

Seems to make sense on your part, but why do people jump to things like this?

I see what you're saying, however I cannot accept this advice because I do not take advice from idiots.

You can see it for yourself in your own time Skython, and make your own mind up.

Warning: There's an essay on my part in response...

I can see that people are stupid or that they aren't?
 
Right now I'm trying to edit out a GT5 photo, but suddenly I'm getting stressed even though I'm enjoying it. Usually under stress I can't breathe too well, so I can tell that I'm stressed. I'm finished with the photo though. I need to relax more...
 
Skython
You're learning well. ;) 👍 But it's see people, not talk through internet. :sly:

In the words of Ray William Johnson "Everyone on the internet is either a douchebag or a f**." So after all you are not an idiot.

Isn't that the guy who seems to be extremely up himself and self obsessed about his looks?
 
Skython
Yep, right I am. (Sorry, I tried watching one video once and he just looks like the sort of person in the description I gave. He's not even very funny)

He used to be. Gabriel Inglesias is more funny when he replaces ray when ray can't do the show.
 
What Grinds my gears? When English people don't realize that England isn't the only country in the union. They may be talking about a UK wide issue, but will still say "In England" etc... It's not necessarily bad people that say it, but there is an attitude that some people have where they think it's ok to say "England" when referring to the UK.

It's a proper gear grinder for me. I once confronted an English person about it and he said "Come on. Don't pretend the Scots don't do the same thing".

As a matter of fact, the Scots never do this. Nor do the Welsh. Nor do the Irish.

Nor do the Welsh.

I can vouch for this. If I say Wales, I mean Wales. If I say the UK, I mean the UK.

Although, I will often casually say Britain, which does exclude Northern Ireland. But it's better than just saying Wales when I mean our entire sovereign state.
 
What grinds my gears is my 🤬 up sleeping pattern.

The past five days, I haven't been able to drag myself out of bed before 3pm and I haven't been able to sleep until 4am. It's now 6:25am and I can't sleep. This happens to me quite a lot. Hopefully staying up until tonight can help me fix my schedule.
