Wasting 9 minutes of my time by taking an X2011 around a 0.39 mile kart track 49 times trying to get it up to 200 MPH.

Me too. It sucks.

Tell me about it. You know things are bad when you haven't slept, aren't sleepy and can hear your neighbours getting up for work.

I think what makes this worse for me is that I'm moving to Japan in a few weeks. It's a big move, so I have a lot on my mind. I wish it didn't happen though. Have to say my goodbyes to my friends. Could do without being zombified half the time.

Any reason in particular?

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.

I'm guilty of this. :guilty: But Scotland are fighting for their independence, (well, Alex Salmon is) so it a few years my statement could be correct. ;)

Have you forgotten those from Wales and Northern Ireland? :sly:
 
mattythedog
Yes. They can be independent as well, problem solved. :D

Haha. Maybe the Scots, Welsh and (Northern) Irish can unite in a plot against England.

You heard it here first.

We'll lure away top gear, and the British grand prix. :sly:
 
When a girl you're interested in gives mixed messages, and you feel like a major idiot for not going to the school dance when she openly confronts you about not being there. But then again, you don't want to be wrong and say anything about your interest in her, to avoid screwing everything up.
Hate it when that happens.

Oh, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland? This UK independence thing isn't all its cracked up to be. Don't waste your time. (This comes from a Dual citizen)

I'm actually against it to be honest, but I'm leaving, so it doesn't make much difference to me either way.

It seems almost every teenage GTPer has this at some point. I've learnt not to bother, but I really am a weird person, so just ask her, and see what happens. If it doesn't go well, just say that she was the one who gave you a sign and so on...

1: Ask
2: Go to dance
3: Profit!...

Anyway, the price of new cars grind my gears. They're so expensive but the government wants everyone to buy new while also missing the fact that no one can afford it.
 
Was cleaning the bathroom on my day off on friday (how rock and roll am I?). I was stood in the bath and my left foot slipped all of about 4 inches but I've done something to my knee. It doesn't work after I've sat still for a while and really hurts when I walk up stairs.

I'm getting old and falling apart!
 
Close your eyes and feel the knee. Does it feel normal, or out of place? You may have dislocated it. I did that once, it was extremely painful.

Get used to it, you are now going to suffer with it for the rest of your life. I had one night suffering from cramp, shot out of bed, the top half of my body twisted, but my foot didn't, and my knees took the shock. That was 6 years ago and I'm still having problems with it now, especially on long car journeys. It feels really uncomfortable to sit, even now.
 
What annoys me more than getting up is my new schedule for school. I go from the last class on the far right for my first class and then walk all the way to the class on the very end of the wing to the left of it.
 
Having to sort out my tax return self assessment grinds my gears.
 
My dad did that two weeks ago.

The air turned blue for the four hours he was doing it.

Then it went very very very red as apparently the system told him that the government required him to pay additional tax as he didn't spend enough on his tax system, even though the company that he was working for should have double checked it....
 
I'm really annoyed that Call of Duty: World at War is pretty much dead. Only 500 hundred people play a game mode that once held 75000. It's also full of hacks which sucks because World at War is the best one of the series in my opinion and I doubt they'll even get the formula so good again.
 
One of my teachers who live just a block from me saw a crime scene, on his block! He didn't get a close-up but reports say that a man was shot in a home. But this isn't the first time someone has died near the area. Months ago a similar thing happened just across the street.

Then there was the horse playing finally exemplifying its consequences in my school. Two students was fighting over a hat at a staircase when one of them fell down the stairs and got badly injured. Another was on a rainy day, and a different student slipped and fell onto a brick wall hard because of playing.


Neither I witnessed though. Completely heard from reports.
 
Right now I really have nothing to do, that's what's grinding my gears!

Also would it be safe to microwave Pasticcio?
 
My homework. And the worry that I may be gaining fat and losing muscle. I gained a few pounds, yet feel weaker. I haven't grown any more, at least that I've noticed, and where I once had some abs (not ripped, but visible) is just a flat stomach. My girlfriend even told me I need to start working out because she noticed it, and that is how I know it's bad.

But I bet if you told her that she needed to work out, there would be problems.
