Coke, for not selling Vanilla coke in Canada yet I can go to any store in the states and get it no problem. Seriously, is that border really a uncrossable line for them or something?

That's really strange, I live on the tiny island of new zealand and can buy it almost everywhere carbonated drinks are sold
buying/finding all the parts for these headphones I'm making, it's kinda fun, but annoying find cheap parts

What`s really grinds me is....I just got back from holiday today but I could stay another day if I wanted and I even missed the biggest waves 15 mins ago up North cos, my mother-in-law just witnessed the whole thing!!!! and I just F****** missed it!!!!
Yes I`m weird but I just want to take photos!
stevie:frown:
The blind bend on metropia reverse pisses me off. Oh and the coco pops monkey
Yeah, that bend is a pain, best to side shift on approach.
I'm having a love hate affair with Uncharted 2, great game except for the first boss on the train who is virtually impossible to kill on crushing difficulty.
the final boss in tekken 6, and the fact that I can't beat the final boss in the final fantasy 13 story despite having blitzed every previous game in the series...
Man I agree with you there, Azazel is sooo annoying haha, but a bad ass boss at that. :)
What grinds my gears is... you get the idea (other than my long absence).
To beat the final boss in FFXIII use the 3 girls as your party, have Vanille as party leader equipped with a maxed out Malboro wand [or whatever name it becomes as a final weapon]and just caste status ailments and most importantly poison over and over as that's the only thing is susceptible to, while the other two slash into it, best if they both have maxed out Genji Gloves and their strongest weapons.
I tried twice before I eventually beat it, but when I did beat it I managed it with 5 star ranking and without needing the time bonus of the Gold watch.
Staying OT,what grinding my gears today is.....
Well not really grinding my gears, more of a WTF, I wasn't expecting that sort of situation.
Not having worked in a while, then getting a casual job where I was told I would get around 3 shifts a week , which was OK by me :|, instead after my first shift the boss came up to me and said, today was a unusually busy day [ I breezed through it :) ]and "I've done a roster" and I find out I've been rostered on for about a 60 hour week.:eek
It's going to be a bit of a shock to the system, but very nice $$$ :D
You know what really grinds my gears...
When programs insist they install a browser toolbar and set a homepage...
And it ESPECIALLY grinds my gears when people let the programs do that! :bomb
@DialgiX
Same here. My IE8 browser was pristine until I installed Adobe Acrobat.Now it has a fracking toolbar that I don't seem to use and I feel is contributing to my "IE8 is not responding" problem.
One thing that grinds my gears is a "not responding" program on my single core computer.
I'll add to that - having a quad core monster (work PC), where the only program that properly utilises the multiple cores is an old FORTRAN based bit of 1D CFD software (with a really dodgy front-end) from all the way back in the 70s. It's always annoying when I get non-responsive office-type programs, only to hit ctrl+alt+delete and find that only 25 % of my processing power is being used.:mad:
Kids shoving pretend money into the ps3 disc tray which has now fallen in and I can't get out just as I was about to trade it in for a slim. I'm going to kill him when he gets up. The little ****er!!!!!
FEISAR
Adobe products are notorious for causing other programs "this program is not responding" problems, especially internet browsers.
It's usually caused by them automatically searching for updates, well Adobe says it's for updates, but those in the know say it's checking to see if it's pirated software, and that the way they have implemented this searching can and does conflict with any and all of the following, Both McAfee [especially] & Nortons security software, IE browsers security, Firefox add-on's [need to visit Firefox site to fix]
They are an absolute pain to uninstall as well, you usually find that you have to go to the Adobe website to get specific instructions on how to get rid of the bloody things, as windows "Add/Remove Software" won't get rid of them completely, and even then you'll PC won't be the same as they would of messed your registry up, which in turn stuffs everything else up to the point where your PC get really really slow at boot up especially.
Great products for the most part when working properly, but they can freeze up a PC and make it so slow that only a complete system reinstall will get things back.
@ KGB
Any warranty the console had has surely passed - may as well go nuts figuring out how to get the pretend money out/hacking your console to bits.
As long as you can put it all back together again I imagine it should be fine and still tradeable.
Still, it has to suck when you have no intention of doing all that! :P
Seeing people get emberrassed for being real dumb asses
trying to proof something to me on ebay a day ago. A seller trying to deny me a refund. On a movie. The beautician and the beast.
The item was claimed BY THE SELLER as new, like new.
No scratchs, scuff marks nothing.
ME THE BUYER RECIEVED A "Has scratchs, scuffs, and won't play worth a god damn!"
So i filed the case on ebay buyer protection.
Now the person running their mouth like a hateful kkk ( ku klux klan ) member trying to do a hate ralley.
What worse on grind my gears. They seem to have poking around on my facebook and myspace trying to know my life.
They call that stalking!
I call it dead meat if you want to go that far.
Its just a ****ing dvd.
All i asked is a refund or a replacement.
No. You want to run off and flame, give hate, and be nasty about it.
Im nasty too! When it comes to making love with a women tho...
But other than that.
My gears are grinding that whatever ebay says. Hey i get my money back. This hoe either takes back their shitty dvd or do something.
Cause i also got some new orders in from ebay for wipout 3, wipeout xl. What conditions the sellers said they were in?
The same words "like new" and a new one "good".
Ok wipeout xl is scratched the **** to hell, but it plays...
Doesn't mean i am satisfied
wipeout 3?
Extrememly shows how somebody used a cd cleaner/repair kit. Cause the whole disc is like somebody can't buff and wax and clean a floor with those tools n more.
But it plays.. It plays for now. But every music track on there won't even get pass the first 25 secs or counting beats of the every track.
Listen to a repeat of sashas xpander. Repeating the first 20 secs over and over and over.
You would go motha ****ing crazy!
But hell.
My grinding gears for now...
I managed to take the ps3 apart last night, I peeled the material back that is on the disc tray opening and got it out. I gave it a clean and seems to be running a bit smoother. I would of thought that by removing the sticker it may of reduced the price of any trade in offer. I might give them a ring later on and see.Quote:

" i swear that money has always been in there..."
what will grind my gears....
nutcase!
get off your ass and keep trying to get a job that is with your qualifications or that the years of education you spent to get the work.
unless you didn't spend some of the time getting experience. then don't just sit their with your guitar. and get the experience!
their must be some programs made to help you get experience and right it off as 5 years exp instead you really had a year.
and the only person in here. who has right to grumble like the scrooge and grinch.
is ME!
what will grind my gears more.
a person stops at something. like that someone up here. because of the words "no, sorry we can't see you here" and "thank you but we are looking for someone qualified"
never stop. its like getting rejected by a woman. than when u get rejected. you cry and feel sorry and bad. and don't go get another woman for more than 5 years. not months not even days.
My ground gear with applying for a job is when you don't even hear back from the company. Not even a 'Sorry, you're not the right candidate' or what-have-you. Makes you wonder why you went to all that effort in the first place.
Dj Techno, i see a career in motivational speeking coming along:g
(yeah thats right i can predict the future haha )
Grinds my gears is ppl who smell. seriously, god made deodorant for a reason, its not like its expensive or anything. no excuses
I'll tell you what is currently grinding my gears - my dentist.
I had to go for a check-up today, and he's such a miserable sod. It made it all the more worse when he told me in his gloomy voice that I needed to go back for a filling :blarg
Another thing that grinds my gears:Horror films with implied gore that you see for almost the majority of the film which thoroughly disgust you.
Gore in 300 is not so disgusting.Strangely,I find it...funny
The film that I am talking about is The Human Centipede:First Sequence.
Click here if you want to know more about the film
I recently got into a "sucky" life(stupid bullies,my class,mockery and stuff).I was introduced to this film by my 13 year old younger brother.I read that there would be a sequel titled"The Human Centipede II:Full Sequence",which would have 12 people in a centipede(Good Grief)
Because of my bro introducing to me this film.I feel like writing the script for "The Human Centipede III:Full Sequence 2.5",having a centipede with around 30 people and featuring almost everyone in my class except me,which is a good thing for me and a bad thing for the "featured" ones.
(Sorry I went off-topic)
@DP i love the dentist, its the only time that i get pins and needles behinde my ears. that proably sounds strange :P
-my pc is pissing me off, im just going to throw it away. its old, its rubbish and it dosnt work >.<
I think I have got a newly acquired ghost in my flat :eek:eek
I came home from my 3rd day at my new work last night and I find that my lounge room window was open, I hadn't been burgled.
I'm 6 floors up and there is no way anybody could of climbed in through it unless they repelled down the side of the building, and I know I didn't open it as it's been bloody freezing in Sydney.
Then I started playing wipeout online last night and I suddenly hear the sound of water running in the bathroom, so dropped my controller and I ran to check out what's happened and there's no tap on, nothing, go back to the game, race starts then the same happens again, still no tap running but this time the bathroom floor is wet, but unless the water was scooped out of the toilet or sink which was empty, there is nowhere from where the water could of come from.
It wasn't a leak from the flat above.
I've woken up this morning and both things have happened again during the night, and I'm the only one here.
Very strange and unnerving.
Who you gonna call?
sorry :p It sure sounds strange though...
...when my 60GB launch PS3 gets the YLOD, which finally happened today. Ugh. Screw sending it back to Sony for the $150 repair and 2-4 week turnaround time though. Instead, I'm going to send it to the folks at gophermods.com, who specialize in this type of thing and perform the YLOD repair for $69.99 with a 24-hour turnaround time and 60-day warranty. So, I should be back up and running soon!
I'm pretty sure that everyone on the WOZ forum has now had a YLOD or something else fail with their ps3.
The DnBA Anthology which comes out on monday in the UK on sale
http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...202&sku=467282
Doesn't come out till Sept 21 and costs me 7 bucks (after conversion) more BEFORE tax here in canada
http://www.hmv.ca/Products/Detail/590663.aspx
I know I could do the digital dl, but I want a hardcopy
@ RedScar - Not sure what your point is, but this is the "what really grinds my gears" thread where folks can vent and my YLOD really ground my gears today...so, I was venting. I've purchased all of my Playstation consoles at launch (PS1, PS2 & PS3) and this is the first that's ever died, so this is a new experience for me. I also highly doubt that "everyone on the WOZ forum has now had a YLOD or something else fail with their PS3." We aren't talking about an XBOX here... :rolleyes:
lol, I wasn't critizing, but it seems that nearly everyone here has made a "my ps3 is broke" thread it seems. I know mine has, it wasn't a YLOD but it was a BD player failure.
Oh ok lol, I see...well, at least I simply posted in this thread, instead of starting a new one, ha ha. It's all good. 8)
Does the room you're in (or go in) suddenly get really cold, Blackwiggle?
Lol, this made me laugh for about 5 mins.Quote:

Today was the end of a kill me quickly pain in the mouth of my own.
What can get on your gears and nerves worst a tooth stabbing the nerve root inside
your mouth including an absess which not taken care of. Will or would kill u or damage
Certain parts of the body.
All the pain pills I took
Tylenol, tylenol 3, ibuprophen, hydrocodone, as much as 800mg of codone.
Nothing.
Nothing freain work.
So the tooth is pulled out. The absess being killed with antibiotics. And me still ****ing mad.
But alive.
Hey Dj, i feel your pain man. Check this out.
When i was 10, i had this abscess under a molar and this lame-ass dentist decided it had to go anyway, right here right now. Being so young i didn't know that a tooth with an abscess can't be anesthetized. At that time, i told my mom she didn't had to be there in the dentist room anymore, so it happened while she wasn't there to object the surgery.
I faced the most horrible pain ever of course. I screamed my lungs out while the ****er was doing his thing, and my mom rushed in the room, all freaked up. The lame-ass dentist then told her in private that it was only a hard-ass tooth to remove, but everything was fine. She was pissed but said ok. We left.
Couple of days later, i remember taking a walk with my dad to a local restaurant on a very warm day. I dunno if the heat played some part in it, but at some point i felt i was about to pass out and i told my dad just before it really happened. I woke up in the restaurant's rest room, not knowing what the hell happened. My dad told me my lips and fingernails were blue when i fainted... We went to the hospital to have the doctor who checked me stating i had blood poisoning, due to the pus and bacterias flowing out of the wound in my mouth, infecting my body. I could have died, nothing less.
Today i got a fear of dentists, and i wait until its critical to go see one. I'm stupid i know, but it's hard to fight against something so dreadful that happened to me :( And this always grinds up my gear...
Actually, I think it's unlawful practice to not use any anaesthetic without any good reason on somebody when they're so young, I had one of those about three years ago, I could have had it, went rambo style. :twisted The most hurtful thing is that I couldn't really eat for a few hours. :( I don't know how things are in Canada, but that would borderline child abuse without any anaesthetic.
you want to beat that fear...Quote:

We sue for medical practice that was untolerated.
you didn't have the yellow pus drained out of the hole. or may not have been prescribed antibiotics.
thats yo life. and yes
In America you sue or you come back to the dentist with a bat and break the office. not his face but abig message.
gotta love the good ol' US of A :beerQuote:

any way!
he walks in and say's "Techno Long! haven't seen you since i last put you in jail"
Yeah hes a racial Dick!
but after that when me, laura the girl who works there and another person were talking about what is a crime somebody got inside jail for having sex inside their cell. This was two women having sex in their cell. They were caught.
So i said the best explanation and simpliest way of explaining the charge the two woman got that the jail and news paper reported it in.
"They were caught ****ing inside their room lol, yeah what kind of charge is that when caught doing that"
Then Jonus walk past me and ask what did i say.
and get this. his hands were on his hand cuffs, ready to lock me for nothing.
so i changed what i said. "they were caught having sexual intercourse"
I said Sexual Intercourse, what kind of wild stuff is that!
Jonus tells me "good, thats what i thought you said don't swear again"
I looked at him walking away, told Laura what the helll that stupid hating, fake ass marine, motha ****er said. Laura said "thats some bullshit! I curse all the hell i wont and even infront of him and he don't say nothing"
Freedom of Speech.
When ass holes like that cop try and harass you from saying whatever the hell you have to say. Try and make you be tempted to shoot them dead with their own gun. Because they want to mess with my rights and freedoms. And they can't do nothing about it unless I start the provacation, trouble etc. oh and guess what in south carolina you can **** all you want. But don't say **** you to a cop. Then it might put you in handcuffs.
How ****ing stupid is that!
