What grinds your gears?

[Zero Gravity]

Write down what bothers you, vent a little, no matter how petty.
- Always start with "You know what grinds my gears?"
- DO NOT post anything to backlash someone over something you think is silly, everyone is respected to they're own opinions.
- No complaining about people loving a specific Pokemon version/game over another....

I'll start:

Grinding o' the gears:

People who speak English. This means I have to decide in an instant whether he/she/they are intelligent or 1 of those strange anomalies of Fate Happenstance if I choose to converse and/or return socially deferential behaviour feigning approval.

When they speak a native tongue (Japanese, Chinese, et al) it's so much easier on my psyche since I can't understand a darn word much less the sentence structure. Just do the bobbing head routine and go with the flow. Look agreeable. Once they leave, head for the hills, turn on the console...ah, anime, sweet anime. Let art imitate life.

[XIamSogekingX]

You know what grinds my gears:

Internet Petitions

They have never worked nor will they ever work. You are not going to reach that magical number of signatures to get a company or TV executive to give a crap about your cause. If you truely want something to change, you have to change it with your wallet or actual support.

If you want a TV show to be on, don't whine about it getting it a second season and then the first episode of the second season gets worse ratings than the first season finale *ie. Dollhouse* You gotta support the offical release and if you want something to continue, buy the DVDs. That is the proven method of getting something changed.

I would also like to include in there these Internet Boycotts.

Don't say you are mad about a game not having some functionality, sign a thing that says you are not going to play it, then when it comes out you are one of the first people to be playing. "Come on man, what was I supposed to do? Not play it and actually stand up for my cause?" Yeah, I think you should probably do that if you are going to complain about it and start a boycott for the product.

[Jubilee]

Know what grinds my gears?

People who hand in formal reports for english class yet fail to use the simple spell check tool. For goodness sakes, IT PUTS A RED LINE UNDER MISSPELLED WORDS! ... and all one must do is right click it to get it spelled right. I've had too peer edit dozens of papers with misspelled words...it's just rediculous. Improper grammer and such are fine, as those are common mistakes that occur in every writer's paper, however misspelled words or typos are something that can be fixed as soon as the problem arises. Just click...and fix....and let me have one less thing to grind my gears in a day. :biggrin:

umm... if you didnt know, English is a trade language, its essential for the fact its widely used, even if its not the native tongue of most countries.

speaking of English... one thing that grinds my gears...
Most foreign english text books...i was in Beijing and took a look at college level "Advanced English" textbooks... written by people with doctorates in English... the grammar was worse than what a 3rd grader can do in the US... chunky sentences everywhere with only a few words in them, true its somewhat understandable... just... you have to read it... then read it a couple more times to understand what in the world they wrote.

Know what grinds my gears? Teachers who act like students. My math teacher is so obnoxious. She has casual conversation with my classmates, she acts like a spoiled brat, and she has a very unpleasent attitude. The other day, I saw some page numbers on the board, and I asked her if that was our homework. She gave me a dirty look and sneered, saying "does your book LOOK like it's got 625 pages?" As she left the room, I muttered "you don't have to be snippy about it, you're not a student." I have half a mind to treat her like a student I don't like.

well what grinds my gears are professors that dont know what they are doing. you go to class... and you dont do anything productive... feels like you wasted a couple hours of your life for nothing. the thought in my head is usually "i could be sleeping right now... but im stuck in a useless class"

and i doubt that teacher is really acting like a student, just being incompetent, ive had teachers and professors that were like students, and they were perfectly chill. i actually prefer it if they can do that so they can actually relate to their students.

You want to know what grinds my gears? Do you REALLY want to know?

I know I will get hated for this but anime in general atm. They are full of high schoolers, they are all moe now, 90% is slice of lifeand the fanservice. MY GOD the fanservice, every show now his someone with massive jubblies which bounce repulsivly when they move one step, and there is always a minimum of 5 pantyshots per episode. Japan THIS IS NOT SEXY, this does NOT cover up for bad storytelling (wow I just summed up Chu-bra >_<) and I am fed up with it. I know this goes with the whole sex sells principal, but enough is enough.

Now for loli. Why is there a loli character in every series now? What do they do to further or enhance the plot? Oh wait NOTHING! I can understand fanservice a bit but loli? It makes no since why loli characters are so big. They really are just a waste of space. There is nothing good that has come from lolis.

Now for my final one and oh boy I will be hated for this. K-ON. Yes K-ON. The show that everyone loves yet it contains sterotypical characters, in a sterotypical setting yet it is the "new haruhi." The jokes were bland 4 years ago and it takes 20 episodes for a series about a band to sing a full song!!! Even in Angel Beats where the band is a side story they get THREE SONGS!!!

Mabye this is enough ya?

Uh, when I come across a corrupt staff knowing I can't do a dang thing about it *no, I`m not talking about 918, 918 FTW!*

[Shigoshi]

Another grinder of the gears for me: People who don't take an effening hint!

You know the kind; your trying to be nice about telling them something or saying no but they keep asking and asking and asking and asking until you want to put a shotgun to their face. The worst ones are the ones you have done something for that wasn't considerably what you would of liked (I mean you bent backwards for them) but yet they keep wanting it their way. Really does my head in.

One other gear grinder: Phone salesmen. Oh god I want these guys to ROAST IN HELL for what they do. Now I don't want to be sounding racist or anything but it's made worse that often it's a forgien accent. I have nothing against any other race of people but to be honest, I would at least like to be pestered by my own race because at least they are getting a job out of it. Really does tick me off when I pick up the phone and hear a strange accent. The ones I reserve most hate for are the ones who can't read my families second name: ♫♫♫♫son, they often say '♫♫♫♫-in-son' which I ether give them the 'sorry no ♫♫♫♫insons live here, bye' or I just hang up.
Ugh, the evils of those guys who continue to ruin my time watching anime or playing video games.

what grinds my gears is manga publishing companies demanding to close down onemanga.com.i know that online manga websites are bad for authors cuz ppl dont buy some manga but after years and years of hardwork onemanga is closing down.i hope this has the opposite effect on what the publishing companies expect

[Shigoshi]

Know what grindeth my gears teeth...eths?!

Several things again:
One: Effening cyclists when I'm walking my dog. I admit I am near on obvilious due to my MP3 player playing rhapsody of fire or some other of my favourite songs but that's because only like one in every million uses their freaking bell to warm others ahead of them. Seriously, it's part of basic cyclist gear, get one so you don't ram your front wheel up a peds rear end before I take your chain and wrap it round you neck and ring your skull with your blasted gear changer!

two: Players on a game called League of legends who start talking smack about champions and such and even start rage-quitting. I sometimes take it as a source of pride knowing I'm good enough to make people annoyed but it annoys me when they start just yelling and whining 'YOUR CHAMP IS OP, PLAY A CHAMP WHO TAKES SKILL' and all the while I am carefully placing myself and moving in the way my champion works and kicking their butts because they are too dumb to try and counter-act my powers. Knowledge is power, I know champions well and I know countering them doesn't take much and sometimes it's downright impossible for some champions to counter others...blasted 10 year old americans.

three: Dealing with your baby niece crying all the -bad word- way back from a gaming night and you can't even vent your rage because it's considered 'impolite'. Tell everyone this: was within an inch of smashing all the car windows, grabbing my brother and punching his lights out with pure rage. Seriously, I know it's not a fair comment but I have rights to whine when I ain't even allowed basic means to exert anger without getting further harassment (like causing myself pain via repeated punching to the leg, clenching fist, breathing hard. etc. Really does get to me).

four: dealing with a whiney wargaming player who doesn't know his rules and tactics. 'Durhur, I know my opponent fields the hardest tank in dez game, I will only bringz enoughz for one of dem tankz' and then he gets ticked when I tell him his usual means of tank busting ain't gonna cut it. Seriously, he was trying methods reserved for more general tanks, the tanks I was fielding are known through out the game as not only well above average but are considered the 2nd toughest tank to bring down in the game without having to resort to super-heavies. The worst bit is when he starts rolling dice behind things, really does get at me. I'm about to start giving him real stick about it soon.

five: MP3 playing phones (like the one I use) which have a 'power conserving' feature which denies you music and such like when the means it tells you by is lighting up brightly for 5 seconds. Thats five seconds of music could been playing. And it ALWAYS happens at the songs best bit.

Well thats my gear-grinders out.

When people assign papers based upon a certain length, aka by words, pages, etc. How do they not realize that the paper writes itself?! I mean, minimums and maximums are for either lazy people or over achievers. If the paper is good, neither would be necessary...quality over freaken quantity! #noelrage

Re: how Missourians and other flat-landers drive.
I see this isn't an isolated case about idiots rich enough to afford their driver's license by acquiring grocery store cereal boxtops and mailing them to Jeff City for voucher redemption. I find if I cut them off and pass a vehicle while in the other lane in front of them they will get pissed and speed up. At worst they will always be reflected in your rearview mirror usually 1 bumper width away from your trunk. At best another unsuspecting fast driver will pass us both and the rearview mirror reality will change into a mirage while marrying itself to within 3 car lengths of the new speed racer.
Years ago I used to be friendly and professional re hill climbing in a big rig (18-wheeler to those of you from Rio Linda) by always occupying the extreme right-lane. The true test of professionalism occurs at the hill's crest where merging from 2 lanes to 1 becomes a footnote for a Twilight Zone movie. I have yet to fathom why some drivers will slow down matching your hill-climb speed and only be midway past your 53' trailer indefinitely. Is it a death wish? There's an accumulative affect from witnessing and enduring all this concrete buffoonery. Either you bite the bullet and wonder "What would Jesus do?" or you get even with the bast**d(s) while reinventing the definition of road rage. Driving a vehicle used to be fun and may still be if you're on a mesa somewhere in Utah 4-wheeling with friends. As for city and urbanscape driving, hell is for heroes; nice folks should relocate elsewhere or ride the train.

As a former high school English teacher, I very strongly agree. And in the same vein, why are the same books assigned year after year? Books comprising "The Canon" should be read and discussed, of course, but how many times should the same student be forced to revisit the same d_mn author?!

TOPIC REVIVIAL!

You know what really grinds my gears, is when a console/system gets bashed because it isn't backwards compatible.
For example, the PS3 keeps getting bashed by people I know because "it doesnt play Ps2 games" WELL DURKA DURRRR, It's a PS3... if you wanna play PS2 PLAY A PS2!

In all fairness, the original PS3s are completely backwards compatible... all the way to PS1. I don't like that Sony TOOK OUT the backwards compatibility on the newer models in order to keep the price point competitive with Microsoft's product.

You know what grinds my gears... what really just grinds my gears... *can't contain myself*

When people tell me they speak Japanese, but speak "Chin Chong Ching" call it Japanese, Chinese, any Asian language really. That really grinds my gears since I know Japanese. I just end up calling it Rosie O'Donald Syndrome because she is supposed to be some sort of star and got away for doing that. It's disrespectful I tell you.

People who people think Lelouch is alive (even though it completely ruins the moral weight of the ending) and point to edited versions of the last scene as proof. Also, in extension, people who call "Shikkoku no Renya" and "Boukoku no Agito" R3 despite the fact that one is a prequel and the other is a side story.

Showing up to the oral surgeon's office at 12:30 for a 1:00 appointment only to find that the entire office is out to lunch.

[jessileo127]

What really grinds my gears?

When your in a Open Server RP game and along comes either a Troll, newbie (who knows nothing), Ruiners, a person who automaticly assumes he/she is more well known/ a better player than everyone else.

I play on the text RPs where you have to proove yourself to join... (I.E. That little Zork Game I made up, which actually has gotten me a little noticed by some of the higher ups)... So playing an Open Server is a pretty good way to make new friends and enemys. Any of the above mentioned is allways a risk, but it doesn't happen that often...

In my last game, The group had to deal with a new person who needed to be shown the ropes... Normally there is a tutorial given out to the new peeps by a member of staff or a helpful higher rank... But he/she had apparently decided to skip it and head right in to the Open games... Fortunatly we were only playing a simple 'Find the Relic' quest which can be over in something like five turns, if your lucky... The DM for that game wanted five players alltogether and when the newbie joined, he started the game instantly without thinking about it...
In the end it took about 300 turns to find simple things like Glasses of True sight or Cup of Elven Water. I luckly found the Relic (a Titan's Helmet) in the claws of a Black Wyvern, which killed the newbie on the third attack. (he/she raged out, caplocking 'insults' about our characters)...

So yea... Thats what grinds my gears...

you know what grinds my gears is doing work and not getting paid what you are owed

[Gatx]

People who refer to "Code Geass Gaiden: Bōkoku no Akito" and "Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya" as R3 and think they'll be sequels. Especially true in the case of "Akito" because it freakin' says "Gaiden" in the title.

Even more annoying is when said people talk about "Renya" as R3, and then bring up ridiculous plot points such as it being in the future, or Renya being Lelouch's bodyguard, even though it was officially announced that it was going to be set in the Edo period, 400 years in the past, and the fact that the manga has been out for a year now and none of it has been true. I STILL see people post stuff about Renya being Lelouch's bodyguard even now.

It's worse than when Sony released that Final Fantasy VII tech demo and people claimed there was going to be a remake.
