What grinds your gears?!

People who rush for no good reason. We have all met these people. The guy who cut you off on the highway in a rush to sit patiently at a red light. The guy who cuts line at the grocery store just so he can get to blockbuster before they close. The guy who yells at you to hurry up simply because he does not feel like standing in line. "Those people".

Oh yeah, I have zero tolerance for the unmotivated or ignorant people as well as frivolous lawsuits.

 

Where do I begin...

-Ricers. Those sports cars that have been heavily modified by their owners with body kits, huge spoilers that look like they belong on the tail assembly of an X-plane, neon lights attached to the under body to give off that super cool ethereal glow, gaudy paint work that makes you squint, and those mufflers that emit a sound much like the 30mm cannon of an A-10 going off.

-Giving directions to drivers.

-Turning the TV on only to find there is nothing on worth your time and spending minutes, even hours trying to find something to watch.

-Speaking of TV, I'm getting sick and tired of watching a network which air its shows with really low volume. No sooner when I turn the volume up to hear better, I get my ears blasted by the commercials.

-Youtube comments. I can be viewing a clip of P-47's strafing a German supply train, and for the next five pages. All I will see is garbage; "OMFG AMERICANS ARE EVIL FOR USING THE BOMB!" or "Hitler should've takken over teh europe bcuz it would be a better place without teh j00z." Although on the bright side, they do provide me with comical relief.

-Having sensitive skin, and having to wear sunscreen when I go outside in the summer.

-Sitting in a library reading or looking up something online, only to have a group of high school kids walk in yelling, laughing, horsing around, bothering the patrons, and generally being a pain in the @$$. When they are told to leave, their responses are either defensive ("We didn't do nothin!") or agressive (Like cussing out the staff, which I saw happen a few times).

-Parents feeding their kids the wrong information when they take them out to places like the zoo or a museum.

-When I hear about some memorial that has been vandalized.

 

damn I need to get you into counseling......my phone number is : area code blah, blah blah, sorry for you overseas chaps.

I'll probably get edited but think you guys need to get laid.

seriously all good fun luked. life is a bitch at times , been through it before and after kids and grand-children and life and death which I am aprt of right now, I could moan pages on this thread and in fact, anyone thought a good idea to post these complaints of personalities into a book. I am fully aware this posting will pee-o some of you but I could not give a rats ass............much fun, yes write up a small soft bound booklet for forum members when we are down on our luck and making us feel we are not alone at all. we all go into tough, toughies folks and I hate them as much as you ..... now where is my systemic cancer meds.

 

And as erich cycles off into the mountains the forum reach for their tin hats and listen for the tell tale throbbing of the me 109. Im with erich.. I thought i was supposed to be the moaning minnie on here. Me and erich are off for a glass of vino del collapso now..

 

agreed would luv to have a glas with thee instead of this old ocean tasting colonoscopy breathing cancer meds...................gosh this stuff tastes like...........well you know of anyone you hate I'd send a gallon over asap

 

Youth and good health are wasted on some erich.. But you already knew that. Id still have the wine mate.. Just keep a bucket close by. Take care big man.

 

Erich, being British it is pretty much our role in life to complain even when things aren't that bad at all.

 

Ok ill go with stefan on that one.. Its our birthright.. Weve gone to war to protect our right to moan.. Sorry stefan i was getting too cheerful there.. Just looked out the window and its raining.. I am now back to my normal self.. Thank god for british weather.

 

Brilliant students at prestigious universities who just walk into to the street without looking either way while traffic is moving .....

Pedestrians anywhere who can't walk and talk on their cell phone without dropping something, bumping into others, or zoning out and walking into traffic (See above)

Late lefties: drivers who pull up to a red light and stop in the left lane which is for turns or going forward and don't signal their intention to turn left until the light changes to green!

That's generally enough to get me in a less than cordial attitude!

 

Frick my Scottish irony almost came out today when a big fat arse 4 x 4 nearly took me out on my bike and my bud as well, plenty of extra space in the oncoming lane as no one was around and it was 95F and climbing we were getting wasted then this .........

ok guys how am I doin ?

 

Nae guid Erich.
Honestly how much more annoying can you get than riding around in a body condom where people are meant to drive.

I usually stick out a 2x4 at head height...

 

Getting there!

All you need is an overcast summer and you'll be almost British

 

lately....

People who are always sad and depressed... all the time! It's hard to be patient and understanding.

....Moochers....nuff' said

 

I've another thing to add. I sell bullets at my job. A lot of them, when I can get them. I'm sick of idiots asking me if Wal-Mart (my employer) is going to stop selling ammo because of Obama. If you've heard that, it's bullSHEET...I don't care WHO you heard it from. Want to know why you can't get bullets? Because Johnny Republican9mm is afraid and is buying shells by the thousand. Thats why. Mega increase in demand, outstretching supply. I shoot a lot of rounds. A lot. Every week. Probably more than most people. I've got safes for guns, and safes for rounds. I find nothing strange about shooting 3-400 .40 rounds in a weekend. But people buying 500+ rounds of .44 Mag? DUMBBBBBB. I own, by my own admission, a lot of guns. Hence the copious amounts of ammo onhand at all times. But when I am finding it hard to get 7.62x54 at a decent price because of mass panic? THAT, grinds my gears. I understand pistol ammo, sort of. But .30 Carbine? Seriously??? HOW many people need that. That grinds me. Panic grinds my gears. STOP buying my bullets. I actually shoot them.

 

Well... Where to start...

On the company front: I work Iron, we're all hat size 3, neck size 40 sorta guys.(If you do not understand this, I'll post a picture.) You'd think a bunch of big, bad keister Ironworkers would not have feelings right below the surface of their skin, but they do. It's like this: You point out that they need to clean up the weld a little, or pick up the pace because your 5 year old could out punk um'... They get all bent outta shape and wanna find a co-workers shoulder to cry on. It's seriously disgusting. Then they mop around and your wishing you had not said anything to begin with... When I started working iron 8 years ago, I did so in the presence of my father, uncle, and cousin. All three of these men had been working iron for their entire life. If they told you you'd better hussle or else you'll find your buns warming a bench down at the hall you'd better do it. It's sad really, there are more ironworkers looking for work then ever but its hard to find one who will show up on-time or consistantly. They normally also lack drivers licenses are on probation or turn out having a drug problem...

That grinds the ol' gears.

Yours,

Bill

 

My grandpa retired 30 years an iron worker. Came home on the deck of the Missouri. Worked for USS (United States Steel) until retirement. He helped build the Mackinac Bridge. If you don't know about that, look it up.

 

People who take advantage of relationships, both friendships and intimate ones... tell me, when will you learn?

 

Jem...they never learn. Trust me on that one.
