What irritates you? What bugs you? What drives you mad? Use this thread as a place to vent about what really grinds your gears. I'll start. You know what really grinds my gears? When someone uses your shower and uses your sponge to wash themself with using their own soap. When you go in to use the shower after they are finished and you go to use your sponge and it smells nothing like what you put on your body is quite the unpleasant experience. Feels almost like someone using your toothbrush. Which is bloody disgusting. If you use someone else's shower and you didn't bring your own sponge, be conciderate and use a wash cloth or no sponge at all.
Nice thread! It really grinds my gears when Im in my room and my mother is calling me from the kitchen for the dinner. I say that I have to do really important things (for example school stuff) and she says that my food is becoming cold. So I run downstairs...but where is the dinner? My mom's still cooking the food and it lasts 10 more minutes... I really hate that when she does that!
It grinds my gears when people speed up to get in front of you and then go slower than you were in the first place. That makes me wish I was in the game Twisted Metal so I can make their car assplode into a burning heap.
This is like super major disgusting. There was one time that I was brushing my teeth and my bro Ryan was like, "Are you sure that's the color of your toothbrush? I think I've used it accidentally." I felt like pulling all of my teeth out with a razor and just puke all the blood.
You know what really grinds my gears, when I'm trying to chill out naked in my place and some random person walks in and meat gazes you.
You know what grinds my gears? Pedestrians standing in doorways having a big fat conversation oblivious to what they're blocking. Forcing you off of the sidewalk by not moving over. Walking in the bike lane like they owned it. Texting and walking at the same time. Never yielding to that one car at the intersection that hasn't moved an inch in 5 minutes. Man, I hate pedestrians.
You know what really grinds my gears? People that have to slow down and stare at an accident like it's an episode of America's Most Wanted. Quit rubberneckin' and move your shit! Traffic has suffered ehough! Ugh. Fuck traffic.
Stupid teenage girls (and some boys, mainly girls) who either can't spell properly or go all out grammar nazi and start using capitals for every word. That's not proper grammar, you people aren't even writing a title. Words. Don't. Have. A. Capital. On. Every. Single. Fucking. Letter. So don't write like that. Thanks.
When people see me as a moneybag and a ride and a favor machine and never actually try to get to know me as a person or see how I'm doing.
When someone accuses me of doing some shit that I didn't do through a note, and is too cowardly to not even put their own name on the note.
When my sister uses my special towel, and uses "But the other towel is too small" as an excuse, even though we both know the other towel is almost twice the size of my special towel, and when I try to tell her off, my mum tells me off for picking on her. Not only that, my sister has her own special towel that is identical to mine except hers is pink. And then she uses my comb, and when I ask her not to, she says that I can use her hairbrush. I cannot use her hairbrush. I need a comb. Another thing that pisses me off are gendered clothing/toilets/changing rooms/dressing rooms. Like, does society just pretend that people like me don't exist? Also, when my mother says that expectations based on people just because of their sex is a myth, and then she tells me to be more feminine. And when I complain about gendered bathrooms and dressing rooms and changing rooms and clothing, she says "But there's nothing wrong with that. What, do you actually believe that there are more than two genders?" and when I prove to her that there are more than two genders, she says that I'm just being silly. Another thing is that my parents can't take the clue that I'm genderqueer. It also annoys me when people chew with their mouth open. 1) That's fucking gross, I don't want to see you're half chewed up wet food sloshing around your mouth. 2) The noise it makes is disgusting. Another thing that drives me nuts is how homophobic my dad's side of the family is. I swear, I was born into the wrong family. Also, my grandmother going on about how same-sex couples shouldn't adopt because apparently "children need a mother and a father!" yet at least half of my aunties/uncles have had kids and then gotten divorced, and she saw no problem with that. It annoys me how if you're sexist or racist at school, the teachers will tell you off, but if they witness homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia, they don't give a shit. I can't wait 'till I move schools. It grinds my gears that I ask my friends how to get over a crush (more specifically, a cyber-crush) and they say "just ignore them!". Yeah, someone please explain how I'm meant to ignore the head admin of my favourite Minecraft PVP server. I can't. I have never found a better server. It pisses me off that my principal made a new rule meaning that we can't dye our hair, yet her hair is pink. It annoys me when my English teacher takes marks off my work because I used gender-neutral pronouns that she reckons don't exist. It annoys me that "panties" is bleeped out of the Eat You Alive music video and "doggy" is bleeped out of The Bad Touch music video, yet "bitch" isn't censored in other videos. What's up with that?
Lol this reminds me of the time I got kicked out of a mall cause a lady at a store wouldn't let me go into the women's dressing room to try on a dress. And I wasn't about to go risk getting dressed in the men's. She said "maybe if you were serious about it." And the 3 or 4 friends I had with me in unison go "she is." She got all nervous and threatened to call security. We stayed and made her do it. I found out later that what she did was illegal. At least think, I'd have to look back and see what the law says again.
