You know what really grinds my gears....

[Mr Phlanj]

-people who get angry when attentions on them even though they put the effot into how they dress.

This happend a few days ago, i was in the shop i work and out side two girls walked past (at max they were 17 years old) wearing low cut tops and mini skirts. One turns to the other looking and sounding realy angry and says "IM GOING TO SLAP THE NEXT GUY WHO LOOKS AT MY TITS!!!". That just grinds my gears to no end , why dress like that if you didnt want guys looking at you. I was tempted to go up to the window staring with my jaw dropped just to piss her off

[SaturnReturn]

I agree to some extent, but would take that on a case by case basis. There's also a difference between noticing, looking and staring. In this case I'd agree though. If they make that kind of comment then they're probably looking purely for the attention.

[Motorsagmannen]

what really grinds my gears is... printers. i want to print a text file yay only black ink needed... but noooooo, because i have run out of magenta apparently i cant print black. ARGH

[KIGO1987]

Haha! That reminds me of IH8YOU trying to get his bloody printer to work. "Its going to go out the window!"

By god i have had time trying to get my old shiitter printer to work. i ended up ripping the paper through the useless rollers, then putting my fist through the roof of the print scanner combo and creating one lovely big mess. Glass everywhere! now its on the side of the road. No one has picked it up yet too! been there for a few weeks now.

[Mr Phlanj]

go all 'office space' on that bad boy

[KIGO1987]

Haha. You should of seen what my mate did with his old crappy printer when it wasnt working on him. He dropped it off the 8th story of the library roof, on the unpopulated side of the building of course, lol. damn that thing went into billions of piece. was funny seeing it fall from such a great height. Surely hit the ground with an almighty bang as well too!

Just got over my flu. Now I got back pains from lifting things at funnny angles... without warming up first. Grinded but its self inflicted so it dont count I guess

OK - here are a few I really hate:

1 - People (ASBO's) who go around saying things like "Bombaklaat, Blaartklaart, etc" like wtf? dude - say that again, and I'll call the police - say you got a bomb and have you fukkin arrested you prick!

2 - People (ASBO's again) who stare at you like you are their enemy, then spit on the floor as you walk past them... last week I had to roundhouse some fool - caught him square under his armpit and think I heard a crack - didnt hang around though - just ran home thinking "Schitt - I can't get arrested again"

3 - People (ASBO's again) who wear their jeans by their ankles, showing off their boney lil asses, holding onto their crutch like they got MAN PROBLEMS, and generally being abnoxious bastards in my local area - the other day a kid comes up behing me, pokes me in the back with something and says "boy you breaking for me now" - like WTF does that mean... so I turned around and said "Yeah, sorry - take what you want" and he tried to put his hand down my pocket. I had a flu so took full advantage of it and let off a cough that would make Hitlers gas look lame. The guy stepped back and I told him "all I got is the flu man, you can have it if ya want" he didn't like that and thought I was a fool, but I surprised him with a back hand grab and jumped with my knee poking into his nose - NICELY done too - not kidding, but it was in the alleyway on my road and me mam saw me hit this fool... then I had to go home and shoulder the lecture which inevitabnly followed... Now if that aint having your gears grinded, I don't know what is...

[Woopzilla]

Lifting things at funny angles? Did you by any chance supplex someone?

My gears are being grinded by websites that don't use monitor space well. Google is such a huge and popular site, yet search results are only displayed on the left hand side of my screen (the site is only optimized for 1280x1024?). 60% of my screen is just blank. In contrast, this site uses all the space. If you resize the window, it resizes/moves everything that is displayed... nothing being wasted unlike one of the biggest most popular site in the internet.

And another thing: Change for the sake of change. Youtube constantly changing and 'fixing' (read breaking) things that don't need fixing. I still haven't figured how to watch playlists outside of someone's channel other than copy pasting 'http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=' into the address bar and then copy pasting the playlist code (which we're thankfully still given). I saved that url in a notepad from the days that youtube actually worked alright.

i was...thing is, I was lifting a very large piece of 3mm hardboard - wasn't heavey, just awkward to manage - and a big gusto of wind kinda wanted to take it from me... the battle was epic in proportion. Me against the force of nature... nature won out. I ended up with back pain

Argh; this. Google needlessly removes random features in the name of "simplicity" - because we all know that simplicity is an end in its own right, and definitely not a means to improve usability.

The idiots. I should be able to watch an uploader's other videos by clicking a link, not by having to go to their profile, wade through menus, and then click a link to take me to a video that isn't even on its own page. They also broke the rating and comment systems, especially the latter.

[concrete_d]

On Youtube next to the uploader's name should be a box that says "# videos", click that and you'll get a list of that user's other videos and a link to that user's video page. Is that what you're looking for?

Agree about comments and ratings of course. And what videos show up in the ginormous "similar videos" sidebar seems hilariously arbitrary sometimes.

[KIGO1987]

Was about to say. What the hell has happened to youtube? Everything on there, the display, the button locations have all changed. Hate it. Im scrolling all over the screen to find something that isnt where it use to be. and the stars thingy has gone as well.

Yeah, in theory. What actually happens is that the menu doesn't open and I get the same worthless "This video is unavailable." pop-up that plagues the comments. No, you retards. It's right there.

Getting back the car after 2 weeks. Discovering the entire sound system is completely ****ed!

Going to have to pull it apart this weekend, the floor panels, the doors, the center console. One of the RCA cables are either been damage, or a fuse could of blown.

Cant trust anyone with my car. Whenever i get it back something is stuffed with it. Dont people take duty of care anymore when handling other peoples belongings?

[Woopzilla]

Yea, it's amazing. I'm baffled how people can manage to be so careless.

I remember lending a game to a someone when I was back at school... once it was returned it had a cracked box, a few scratches on the disk and a torn out page from the manual. Wow, how did they manage that?

I've never lent anyone anything I cared about since then.

The thing that i'm about to post that grinds my gears will most probably grind everyone's gears;

Telemarketers.

For a while now, we've had no calls from telemarketers at my house, probably due to the advent of the Do Not Call Register they set-up in Australia a few years back, which means if telemarketers call a number on that register, there might be a fine involved. A big one.

Well, one company has found out that my mobile (be buggered if I knew how) isn't/wasn't on that register. (It is now, though) I keep getting calls from random 02-numbers (I think it's Sydney's state code) since I happened to answer one and was greeted by a all-too-friendly Phillipino lady trying to get me to join another mobile plan I didn't want-or care about. Since then I've had about 5 calls in 2 days. **** pisses me right off.

[stin]

I`d thought, they can`t get access through your mob phone, cos, your phone is private. That did surprised me!

What F****** grinds me, cos, my golf game are there but I just can`t F****** score!!!! and I`m approaching up to 2!!!!:-

stevie

When May the 24th can't come soon enough. :S

Ive got a private land line number. But somehow the fukwits still seem to get through. They called at a mates house. Some stupid tosser. So i got a porno tape a played it a max through the phone while is was on speaker phone. I think that telemarketer would of got a deaf ear for me doing that. lol. The guy wasnt too happy after that, lol, he pranked a few times after that, lol. Wasnt my house. I get them at home a few times.

Best result for them to bugger " no im busy mate, now call me in five, then pull the phone out for the rest of the day ".

What grinds my gear...

Banks who pretend to be Banks


Paypal

run through Ebay

But they also are a systemized bank that can be used for selling products and making money for their customers. like if u went to your regualar "Bank of America" or Capital One or Wachovia now going to be known as Wells Fargo.


Paypal
when u got a dispute inside paypal. that has to do with ACH Automated check system payment ( don't ask its called something else ). When the dispute clears and it is found in your favor. you look on the paypal screen and see that the payment by echeck is reversed and sent back to your account.

NO... not true. actually that ACH or echeck is not sent back to the origin where the funds were being taken out. actually the check is placed in a hold spot and then in another few days. it is sent again. By paypal. When u call paypal to curse them the hell out. All their departments say the same thing. "sorry but we can not stop a check or payment being processed"

hmmm
Well my Wachovia. Sure as Hell did. stop payment on 12 stupid azz things that were not suppose to go through my savings account. Causing a negative balance and a Federal Problem!

FEDERAL!

My real bank sure did fix the problem. Paypal sure as hell didn't.

Buyer Protection System
Give me a damn break!

I lost two things in the mail
181.80
and
originally it cost me 54.50
instead when it went through my mastercard
55.90
for an unknown foreign charge. That didn't go through paypal. but went right to my credit card.

the buyer protection system
is set up to protect the buyer of bad sellers, theft, missing or damaged items.
Missing or Damaged!

both the amounted items never made it to my address. I checked the sellers tracking information. I checked my post office. Hell I am on a first name basis with my postal delivery persons.

Nothing.

I filed a dispute with both companies.

Denied
because the seller provide a tracking information. their was no more proof to the dispute, they said.

**** what!

I sent it to my credit card company, did the police report.

my credit card company had to deny my case the first time. because of re-represented evidence.

the presented evidence was the same damn tracking information and then a list of policys that the companies say they have to protect them.

under it listed. missing or damaged items.

they said they were responsible. Well CCGGaming.com and MTGMintCard.com
FU!

The Buyer Protection plan.
Load of Bullshit!

When it comes to making a dispute when i buy stuff or anything on ebay.
i go directly to my bank and credit card companies. They resolve problems 10 times better then these sorry Mutha F.... Paypal and Ebay.

Hell my case with two seller who sold me fraudulent cards.

you damn my bank went on that case quickly and jumped on it.
Paypal is still taking their sweet azz time reviewing the info and more.


I'm done. talking about Sorry, Fake, and Ridiculous Banks
