Dealing with any so called agency that is supposedly there to provide a service, like PayPal, they keep sending me Emails asking why I haven't been using them.
Pity I can't send an automated reply saying it's pretty must common knowledge why people avoid using your, Bank, PayPal, Phone company, ISP etc.

What's grinding my gears, and has been since Sept last year, yep 10 months so far :evil:bomb, is the building work that is happening where I live.
They have been re rendering the facade and painting, I had 4 painters decide to stop off on my balcony during their trip up the outside of the building and have a nice old chat for twenty minutes, in Korean.
It felt like I was in that movie Brazil.:dizzy
The council bastards took over a year to mutilate and fuk up the entire road in front of the old place i was living. was shiity living there for that period of time. Couldnt get in or out. still there is a will there is a way.
Any of you guys seen the state the UK's justice system? Now, we aren't allowed to wear England football shirts or hang England Flags in fear of upsetting non - english residents. Of course, being from Scotland, it doesn't effect me [;)], but it's pissed me right off. :bomb Still, what can you expect from the P.C Brigade apart from total BS? :rolleyes:
I don't mean to sound racist, don't get me wrong (People have been racist towards me, and I'd never do anything like that to anyone), and I duly apologoze if it sounds like I am or if I am being so, but why is it that the non - english population can be racist to us and get nothing done to them, whereas if we so much as get offended by a woman wearing a veil in an airport (which is kind of a breach of security, as an Al - Qaeda member tried that once), or by their practices, (Like throwing chicken heads into an alley and infesting the whole street. :blarg), and the english person gets the Book of Political Ignorance thrown at them!
Of course, there are some that deserve it, such as %40 of the white male population of my school, and I understand that those of the non - british population that cause those problems are a minority, but could somebody please explain all this to me? Since when was the perverbial white british man not allowed his nationality? :bomb :bomb
Similar things are happening here in Australia as well mdhay. Some guy got told off by his council for having an Aussie flag hanging on his apartment veranda. for some bullshit reason about offending people who are not Australian, since they might be offended by the flag in some way or manner. Like wtf, that is total stupid.
As i and a good mate would say, if you dont like Australia and its culture, then why are you living here? bugger off out of this country. So many people have moved here in recent times dont appreciate how good they have got it in this country.
It's a similar ideology here, in fact. Here's an example:

Zing! :P
This just isn't true, what are they going to do to you, arrest you for supporting a national football team? The extreme right have high-jacked the Union Jack and St George Cross to the point people are embarrassed to be associated with it. It's rather strange as Great Britain stood up against fascists not too long ago so we have plenty of reason to fly our respective flags with pride.Quote:

Everybody else dose this on Australia day have the flags going everywhere all over there cars.
Crap in the eye! i've had something in my eye for three days now. It stays concealed under my upper eyelid so i don't know what it is and it won't go away by itself. i've rinsed my eye well like 5 times already, but NO it just stings in there.. annoying basturd.
Probably best to pop down to your local pharmacy and get that eye wash thingy. The same stuff medics use on pepper spray victims. That might be able to help you out :)
it could be a small stye, nothing to worry about i had one the other week just some hot water and willpower to not rub it and you'll be fine :P
Begin rant.
I'll tell you what grinds my gears - The Human Rights Act.
I hate how it's constantly used as a scapegoat these days. All I hear about is the typical "oh, I broke the law but you can't arrest me because it's a breach of my human rights."
Seriously, what is going on? Our country used to be the greatest in the world and now we are laughed at and walked all over.
End of rant.
In other news, a boiling hot day with no breeze grinds my gears - I'm a winter lover and don't like excessive heat :bomb
Well Australia will become a Republic soon, so that is one less country on the once Great British Empire.
President Kevin Rudd, now that would be interesting.
DP come to Aus in summer time. Here you die when there is no seabreeze, those heatwaves with the summer heat in the high 40+c is hell on Earth.
Modern gas station equipment! Let me elaborate...
It has been long overdue, but finally could fin time to spend a few hours changing oil, brakefluid and generally clean up my motorcycle and then take a 10km drive to a gasstation with one of those fancy airpump where you punch in the pressure, attach the hose and push a button.
Only this POS thingy doesn't fit properly to the valve on the tyre and instead of putting air in, lets the remainder out. The really great feature of said airpump now kicks in. It has a system that detects pressure, so you can punch in whatever pressure you want and then walk around the car doing all 4 wheels without touching the machine. The really, really great sideeffect of this is that the pump won't start when there is no pressure detected.
Usually you can hold in a button and it'll start pumping anyway, but did that button work at all? No.
So basically it gave me a flat tyre and then promptly refused to correct the error.
I drove the 10km home, with 10-15km/h, with a flat front tyre and the burning humiliation of getting overtaken by a tractor. The tire is destroyed, so the bike as back on the paddock stand and the front wheel is in the back of my car.
That sucks mic, but the tractor comment cracked me up. :lol
Another two things that grind my gears are:
1. Randomness
2. Bullying
Link between the two?
Well,in school I am quite a serious,no-nonsense attitude person.My Co-curricular activity senior said to be "relax" before a concert(I am in my school choir,last concert was 16 may).For some strange reason I cannot seem to smile when in school. So,I cannot take jokes,especially the jokes made about me by my semingly p*rn addicted,corrupted,whacked out,seem like as though they ma*t****te classmates.And I hate their randomness.(wow,am I ranting about my classmates?)
Ah,bullying.It will never stop......
People fight what they fear... these bullies are the real scaredy cats (cowards), they'll do anything for a quick laugh and can never see the big picture.... Pay it no mind buddy, they go home and cry every night :)
My gears are well oiled for now, and aint nobody grinding them this week dammit! I'm in a good mood and am gonna try and spread my positive vibes around... so if you want any, just drop me a visitor message :)
with Love, Ace :)
Yeah the BP ones here have similar setup as well. Some work great, some kills all the air out of your tire then your stuffed driving around on a flat to find another proper one.Quote:

when every fakin dealer runs out of gringo at the same fakin time... pisses me right off, bear with a sore head :bomb
LOL, thats one shredded tyre! (Un)Fortunately a new front wheel is way too expensive for me to treat it like that ;)
Yeah that tire got shredded was due to those new stupid massive plastic speed bumps you get everywhere now, plus with the fact the tire was a crappy generic branded one. no great loss, did cost 250 to get two new front tires and a wheel alignment done.
Gringo is a type of piss right?Quote:

No Eureka, Gringo's another name for Weed, here in Glesga.. and yes Dan, your correct.. and no fackers got any yet! :bomb
Ah lol. Everywhere around the world weed goes by a different name. :)
I tell you what im loooooong overdue for another session. Followed by some good munchies
Bloody hell why does Ace have to live on the other side of the Earth.
I'm not the man for weed anymore. As you know, I've given up the blessed herb 3 weeks ago... :bomb, and ended up on anti depressants... Gears are really grinded. :(
I can get you anti-depressants if you want :lol
No i still have a packet of the anti-depressants stuff from a while ago. Dont want to touch that stuff again, feels like you lose you testicles and your sense of soul with that stuff.
But maybe later on. Good sheesha sessions with some pot mixed into it would be great :)
You know what really grinds my gears....
constipation........
:twisted
In Wipeout 3, when I'm about to drop my shield in order to use a different item - and the shield runs out, making me drop the item that I wanted to use instead.
When microsoft censor my OsamaBinHaydn gamertag name :bomb Instead went for TimmyTitBiscuit :beer
One thing that definitely grinds my gears is my younger brother who always disrespect people, but 65% focused on me so much that i can't stand it anymore. :bomb
Bastard Gas hot water system is on its last legs. Not enjoying turning the shower on in these 0 degree mornings and having water straight out of the southern ocean coming through my shower head :cold, followed by going outside shortly after that and using a good 50 or so matches to get the damn pilot light started again. Been like this for over a good couple of weeks now, craving to have a hot shower big time.
Another thing that grinds my gears: Dilemmas. One (real)example:Should I save my allowance for a netbook or spend once in a while(now and then?)on things I want but are of smaller value(Cherry Credit top-up cards),effectively hindering me from the former? This just pisses me off to a great extent(I already have a laptop btw...)
Ah...dilemmas...always(?) experienced everyday...
Not having a cup of coffee in the morning also grinds my gears.I'll fall *snores* in class...
I saved up a heap of money and used all of my 21st money to buy a Laptop with Windows Vista on it for Uni. Biggest absolute regret ever. Was going to use the money originally to a trip to Italy and other parts of Europe as well. Instead i had bought a POS laptop that never worked when it suppose to (still have it now million dent and hit marks on it now) and did my head in, just ask a few of the folk on this forum, they know what im going on about.
If you already have a old laptop with XP running on it, and its got decent enough processing power on it, then there is no real need to upgrade because the two newer operating systems that came out after it are pure crap and buggy as hell. Save up your money for a good car when you get your drivers license, that would be money better well spent.
Oh yeah, morning coffee is a must, ive fallin asleep a fair few times in Uni lectures back in the day. Accounting is like watching grass grow.
@KIGO: I have a Vista based laptop upgraded to 7 and I love it. My Windows Experience Index was 5.0 in Vista,(suposed to be)5.1 in 7(dunno why it's 5.0).The reason on wanting to get a netbook was so that I could experience the OOBE on 7(which should be more or less the same when clean installing 7
(on to main topic)
Bad information:
Well,one of my teachers is quite draconian...when on Mecdical Leave(MC),you have to get info from your buddy.If you do not know whatls going on in class,your buddy is "dead"That should not be a problem when your buddy is reliable and has a sense of responsibility.It's a problem if he is not. However,the person who gives bad info gets the punishment.
Bad info=misunderstanding=punishment
References:
Sometimes,hearing a certain word(or a certain word "connected" in some way)at the "wrong" time just downright pisses me off(eg:draconian linked to dracomance(r) linked to AQ linked to "tearing my hair out").
My laptop had a ranking of 5.0. Doesnt really mean anything tbh, just kinda a novelty score that is given to your combined performance of your laptop or desktop, score isnt static at all, changes when ever it wants too. Buggered if im upgrading to 7 and spending my money on another death trap again. Lost all my trust to MS years ago. If MAC books werent so bloody expensive i would of opted for that instead.
School is fun isnt it FEISAR. I remember when the teacher would bugger off for an extended period of time, things used to get so messed up. I remember an entire term was wasted back in year8 when a teacher got really ill, a fixed replacement never came and everything was completely messed up. What i liked best was the head of the year blamed all the students for not being organized while it was there mess ups that put everything into chaos for my class as well as another class that had the same teacher.
-trapping my fingers in the front door :twisted
haha my Vista laptop has a ranking of 2.1 and I love it, after I got rid of all the vista crap and shovelware then installed some light weight programs it runs great:rock
(but yeh it was a bloody nightmare when I got it)
what grinds my gears
people who eat fish and call themselves vegetarian
the holes in two pairs of my shoes when it gets wet
the beebster
twilight fans (movie)
my laziness
other peoples laziness
Kinect, I want it to be something good but so far not so much by the looks of it
smokers who leave there buts just laying everywhere
awkward conversations between males and females make me awkward, even in movies, just speak your truth and get on with it
eating mushrooms, I love you mr mushroom but I must eat you!
that I got really sick and started gaming again
all the media attention on dead 'celebrities' birthdays, Princess Diana and MJ were great when they were alive(okay MJ the later years not so much) but now they are dead so don't shove them in my ***king face
not that I watch tv
why am I complaining
it's cos I can hear it in the background of my world I think
nothing really grinds, just lite annoyances in my life
-zer:donut
I bought a laptop with Vista about a year and a half ago. An entry-level [cheapest] Compaq [owned by Hewlett-Packard]. I disabled User Access Control and Norton anti-virus as soon as I got it, and the thing has run perfectly. I hated XP; I used 98, ME, and 2000 pro on my old desktops. Vista is way better, smoother operating with more convenience features. So what grinds my gears about my Vista-using laptop? That I couldn't afford to buy it sooner.
I did the same thing as you, Lance...disabled those two things and I've had no complaints. I hear Windows 7 is even better though...
Might be. Only negative I've heard about it is that 35 percent of Vista's device drivers were removed to make it more compact. Typical users would probably regard that as a positive since they're unlikely to use lots of rare hardware.
