You know what really grinds my gears....

[Woopzilla]

^ It's just an extra option for april fools...

I have two accounts on youtube, one has rather low views and the other is my oblivion account with near 3 mill views. I keep getting messages from people asking me questions that are already answered in the video description... or that can be answered with 5 seconds spent on google.

Also, people keep sending PMs about why their computers don't work just because they see mine working in the videos. ARRGHHH. And most of the time they don't even bother specify a single thing despite the PM being a 600 word wall of text. It all summarizes to "IT DUN WORK LOL".

It's like having your car break down and then proceeding to flag any random car down by going with the logic: "HEY! His car is working... so he must obviously know what's broken in mine!!!" No mate, call a mechanic or your recovery service.

Ok, just had to rant about that after seeing another 10 PMs this morning.

....When you can't play Tron 2.0 because your laptop's touchpad makes you look up into the "sky" getting you derezzed: All because it thought you wanted to use it eith your thumb because of where the pad is on the laptop.

[Dan Locke]

Speaking of Tron, is anyone else disappointed with the remake? From the trailer, it looks like a cell-phone commercial, or maybe Audiosurf. It has none of the style or character of the original.

[mdhay]

I am actually, Tron (original) was fair crap as well, given that 2.0 looks infinitely better than it, although it was the 80's, there wasn't much to go by.

[ACE-FLO]

Wouldn't really say that Tron being a disappointment would be grinding my gears, but I know what you mean - if you're gonna make a remake of an old classic (one that wasn't particularly good anyway Tron) atleast try to improve on it convincingly enough to appeal to more than just die hard fans of the movie... Take Batman, the one with Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton, crap - comical - laughable... take Batman of today, Now he the man...

...having said that, Jack Nocholson and Michel Keaton are miles better than George Clooney and Arnold Shwarznegger - mehness all around!

I gotta get off this thread, if I'm not careful, I probably will end up grinding my own gears, gah

[BearAlmighty182]

first thing that grinds my gears. The most annoying trophy in history. Bling brigade.
Second. My Crap isp. Sky broadband in my area is beyond shocking. 8mb they tell me.. Yea right!
3rd. Work calling me in at the worst possible time.
After organising an international bling meet with people from all over the world. Sending about 100 messages and making lots of friends and then being called away at the last minute... That really grinds my gears but then even worse. Getting my housemate to stay in on a friday night to help for the bling meet and race online on my profile to then only get 0.15mps at the agreed meet time..... Grrrrr im seething right now as im writing this from my desk in work. If anyone can help me with bling. Check the bling volunteers thread

[ACE-FLO]

Ah, Bear Buddy! Nevermind, schitt happens - usually in threes so don't feel bad. Karma will come round and lick your face with Air, and that'll feel nice - trust me. I'm the AirLicker But I wont be licking no faces, just massaging egos.

Here's my effort - Avalon is coming up, plenty of Zoners with the silver skins there mate. Also - I'm host, so will notify all in my room to change to bling skins if you still need the trophy by then. But this is a last resort ok?

We'll do another Bling run on Sunday and I'll call out some favours so we can make this happen.

Oil those gears now bud, they'll run smoother

BB trophy is a bitch to get i agree. Its up there with Zico.

Google's awful YouTube redesign. They basically removed loads and loads of features in the name of simplicity - because simplicity is obviously an end in its own right and definitely not a way to increase usability.

Also, phone-based account verification.

[SaturnReturn]

I'm with you on the Youtube thing. They completely nerfed groups ages ago too - very annoying.

That reminds me of my other Youtube gripe that I experienced just today:

When every video I upload to Youtube fails about 5 times before it finally decides to work just once. Every damn time!

-not knowing the name of the song you want to listen to

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Hearing a song that you really like and not knowing what the heck it's called

...having a whole web-hosting environment dumped on me, when I clearly hava pointed out that I'm done admining webservices and only do telecom stuff.

I narrowly avoided a (email) postmaster gig, so I guess it wasn't all bad. Besides, maybe we can come up with some fun things to do with all those webservers...

[KIGO1987]

-not knowing the name of the song you want to listen to

There are apps on mobile phones that allow you to record a proportion of the song then you'll receive a message of what the song is. Ive got it on my old shitty phone, does come in handy once in a while.

Headache, every ****ing morning.. i think i need new pillow.

[mic-dk]

I can highly recommend getting a foam pillow. The foam is temperature sensitive and moulds itself round your head and neck, providing support where it's needed. It literally saved my nights since a few years ago. it is a bit pricey, but IMHO well worth it.

PM me if you want product details - it's available in Finland too!

...When somebody, somehow, finds out about my foot fetish and terrorizes me about it. :/

Christ, I can't believe I had the nerve to write that.

Hearing a song that you really like and not knowing what the heck it's called

Use Shazam. You can get it a an app on iPhone or you can call 2580 on any phone (in the UK). It'll 'listen' to the song for a while then it'll send you a txt with the title/artist.

Costs money if it can identify the song but that's up to you.

I think you may be able to do it for free using other similar services or companies or t'internet, haven't checked it out though.

When you hear the word "GRIND" then get shot to **** with a Troika.

Getting an ear infection where you become pretty much deaf in one ear. It's incredibly painful and I'm unable to move my jaw without a sudden sharp pain in my ear. Lying down is impossible no matter what position and as a result I'm losing sleep.

Swallowing the anti-biotic pills is fairly painful but the worst thing is... the ear spray SMELLS. It smells like a moldy packet of smokey bacon. I HATE SMOKEY BACON. ARRGH.
