    When your watching an engrossing movie or documentary etc and right at the crucial point,where the most important thing is being reveled ,some loud noise,or somebody comes a talks to you,drowning it out so you don't hear what was said.

    Laser printers that run out of ink midway through a print job, or you don't have enough paper to complete a print job.

    Mobile phones when they run out of charge just as you answer a call.

    Trying to adjust gearing that is slipping on a 3 flywheel bicycle,and every adjustment you make just makes things worse.

    Group photos where your the only one that suffers red eye.

    Women who constantly overload washing machines causing them to break,then getting the monster of a unit out and back again after you repaired it for the umpteenth time.

    People who lend your property out without telling you, to people you have never met.

    Treading on LEGO with bare feet
    Builders/workmen who start using the nosiest machinery possible at the crack of dawn

    Can I try a serious one? racism. And the French article is really awful. That kind of thing really pisses me off. Always. Seems like we'll never end up with these kind of stories.

    Complete strangers who don't even know or care enough about me to piss on me if I was on fire - that suddenly DO care - with great interest - when they see me wearing a T-shirt in 15 degree (F) weather.

    Seriously - who (#*$ing cares if I want to wear a T-shirt in winter. If I drove around in a car, or just went shopping in the place you saw me - it's a safe assumption that I likely can afford a Jacket too... Do they expect me to go "HOLY (#*T!!!! I can't believe I'm not wearing a jacket - OMG I didn't notice until you said something!"

    And the icing on the cake here, according to these very same people - I should have caught Pneumonia or the Flu - AT LEAST, 73 times this year.

    Oh yeah, that's right, I haven't.

    Heh, I just inspired myself. I'm going to get a black tee shirt made up with bold white text that reads: "Yes, this IS my winter jacket."

    People who want to say out loud... What they opinionize on somebody
    not opinionize, throw down n call, say what they think and believe is right, to say about somebody. When they don't even know 10 percent of that person

    how they talk, how they dress, what they listen to, and who they hang with.


    Grinds my gears. When somebody says anything about what a person says.

    Use slang, cut words to shorten what they are saying, and the so called. Proper english (writing) sense not everybody knows english.

    Excuse me... Want to be english. Language arts teachers.
    Not ever body is like you!
    People who learn to use slang and short wording in their speeches, sentences, etc.

    Went to the same school or education as the next person.
    And if any person. Wants to use different ways to talk. They will talk. Write. Speak. Etc. What they not only know, but learn to use from other people, talents, skill, etc.

    If u don't like it. Join your own little club. Where u can talk all the way you want.

    But it won't! It will not! And never! Make you no better. From everyone in the world.

    Instead of criticizing, spitting ya mouth about how somebody talks or may talk. Shows! Your are no better than the person who went to jail for robbing a bank.

    Nothing, really. When a pretty girl has an annoying voice.

    Intentional fouls at the end of American basketball games that are meant to strategically stop the clock but are not called as intentional fouls. The refs actually call them in the Olympics, which I was very pleased to see. Wish it could be like that every game, then I might watch it again.

    Default Unwarranted parking fines, interfering do-gooders, and morons.

    Blatantly ridiculous situations created by someone who obviously thought their decision made perfect sense in theory and is too gutless to admit is actually just crap in practice.

    For example:

    At Warren Street Station where normal ticket gates have been replaced with wheelchair/buggy gates, which remain non-operational, which, when coupled with the inbalance of entry gates to exit gates, means there are only 3 operational entry gates into the station. This leads to a large crowd of people trying to get into the station having to wait a long time, while the odd two people who want to leave the station at rush hour have a wonderful choice of multiple exits. In theory, a train would come along and everyone would want to get off at once. So you'd need more gates for this than the sporadic arrival of people wanting to get into the station. In the mornings, when there are many many people trying to get to work, this works perfectly well. In the evenings, whatever the theory, it just doesn't. The gates are reversible, and yet they never reassign some of them to entry gates. Why, why, why?

    Another example:

    Family friends visiting and getting a parking ticket for parking with two wheels on the grass verge outside my house. There's a kerb, then there's some grass, then there's the pavement. Apparently the council classifies the grass as the pavement and can fine people for parking on it, even though they're just trying to keep out of traffic's way a little more than they would otherwise, which, by the way, would not get them a parking ticket at all. Hello council, the grass is not pavement. Council employees mow the grass, do they mow the pavement? No, because they're different. They're very very distinctly different. The pavement is the bit over there, the bit that's paved. The clue's in the name, morons! Even more annoying is whatever individual reported this to the council as some kind of violation, because this area isn't even patrolled by parking attendants.

    hahaah.. gangstas with there trousers down with the bums hanging out is so lame and laughable.
    not sure if its true but someone told me that trend of wearing trousers low under bum so pants are on show comes from jamaca clubs originally and its meaning was to show the gangsta in question could afford to buy pants and make sure they were clean so shows them off to all.
    pretty sad.
    i heard on tv programme they also leave cardboard lables on clothes to show how new they are..not sure if they still do now.havnt been to carribean for a few years now.

    It originally came from people who shoplifted and wore it as a badge.
    They just grabbed any clothing and wore it even if it didn't fit them,same with shoes with no laces

    That's interesting, Jasmin.

    I figured I'd look up that video after I saw Brett Favre singing it in the locker room after the Vikings beat the Cowboys.

    Seeing the Vikings go to the Super Bowl would be a real gear grinder, since I was born in Wisconsin and root for the Packers, unless they lose to the Jets. That'd be awesome.
