What Really Grinds My Gears

I thought I might start this thread similar to the squat rack curls for the Get a Life section.

I had a night out at one of Australia’s better strip clubs the other night and had a really shitty experience which falls perfectly under the above title.

I was there with a few friends for about 45 minutes enjoying a few $10 beers while waiting for the guy who we were actually having a night out for.

This club has insanely good talent and it was just our luck that the ugliest dancer came over and got into the usual hustle they do. This chick wasn’t even the type you would try and pick up at a night club. 5-6/10 being very generous.

She got talking and then put the hard word on us to join her for a private dance. I declined with a polite “We’re waiting for a mate and it’s his birthday, so maybe later.” At that point we had 2 absolute glamours coming over who I would have happily parted ways with a 20 or 50 for but our fugly stripper friend cut them off at the switch and said "Don’t bother, they’re tight cunts.

Don’t waste your breath." With that they did a 180 and changed their course.

It pissed me off because we were cashed up for the right dancer/s. With that, I thought her level of service was sub standard and deserved to know it.

I went up to her and informed her that I had heard her comments and a common Australian saying was quite fitting. “You don’t enter the Melbourne Cup unless you’ve got a Thoroughbred.”

2 minutes later I was on the street courtesy of the security. It was a peaceful exit as I work in the same street but I stand by my actions.

did the guy turn up in the end? id kick his ass for being late.
what grinds my gears is that i live round the corner from a primary school, so along with the other resients i have to put up with idiot drivers in their suvs blocking the roads and PARKING INFRONT OF MY GARAGE wtf? cant you see im trying to get to it to pack away my work shit, that my dads trying to get his motrbike in, ffs

I hate people who walk too slow. It is usually a fattie. I hate it so much, I want to start kicking people in the ass just to get them moving. Seriously, people who walk too slow really grind my gears.

People who stand on escalators instead of walk…wtf? Are you really that f’in lazy?

Take the fucking elevator you fat piece of shit!

Unfortunately, I have been living in MN for too long so I have become too passive to ever say something like that out loud.

Note to self: get blood-pressure checked.

People who put a load of laundry in the machine and leave it in there for hours. (I rent an apartment with a laundry room)

People who putt around at Sam’s club. (Anyone with a membership has obviously been there more than once and should know where everything is) Get going and quit leaving your cart in the middle of the aisle while you go stand in front of the free sample kiosk waiting for the pizza bagels to finish baking, fatass.

Cashiers. “Gee, you sure eat healthy, I hate broccoli, what are you gonna do with all those blueberries?” Gee, thanks for the unsolicited opinion. Just ring my shit up, and if I’m buying five or six items put them all in one bag, not five or six. I’m not ninety years old o.k.?

When your walking down the pavement, on one side of the pavement, and someone comes onto the pavement (e.g. crossed the road to get to the pavement your on) and they straight away walk towards you on your side of the pavement. I AM WALKING, I DO EXIST, I’M NOT A GHOST. Those moments I want to carry a big ass kife with me.

Or people who leave their trolleys next to the shelf in the supermarket and walk off, and I want something behind their trolley. I move their trolley or just stare at them, but geez, put it in the middle, there is enough room.

People who are cocky to bouncers in clubs. I really want to be stood there and watch when the bouncer decides to kick the shit out of them.

Thats some of what really grinds my gears. This is a good idea.

Yeah he turned up later and we went to a different club with a much poorer selection of dancers. Probably saved us a lot of money!

Not a rascist rant but certain Japanese tourists really grind my gears. Those guys will push women and children over wherever a line is formed.

I realise their culture accepts that sort of behaviour but Australia only has 1 person per 1000sq yards compared to their 1 per 10sq yards. It’s rude and not the done thing in this country so stand patiently and don’t fucking push.

You know what really grinds my gears? (Ha, I have wanted to say that for a long time but never found a good time.) Fucking Posers.

You know these kids. They live in 500K+ houses, but they were clothes and talk like they are from the ghetto. Then they pop their collars and laugh at me for not being like them and not wanting to be friends with them. Seriously, there are so many of these kids at my school. Then they try to show off to all the girls at the school by benching 10 more pounds than the girls are benching and not even squatting because they think sticking their butt out will make them seem gay.

Seriously, they are so scared on not being thought of as cool, that they will abandon all their individuality just to fit into the big “cool” group.

I asked one of these kids why they do this to themselves, and he said “because it is cool. Maybe you should by baggy clothes and join us.” I replied, “No thanks. I prefer to actually look normal and not try to pretend I am black and from the ghetto.” (Although I was really born in one. My apartment was one 20 X 30 room that served as the dining room, living room, kitchen, family room, and bedroom. Also, we had bathrooms that were used by three other floors. Yes, no private showers or toilets. I found a rat the size of a household cat in the pantry on my floor, along with his entire immediate family).

If I didn’t get tickets for beating on kids at school, I would have punched every single poser that I see in the face. But then they would tell mommmy. Oh well…

Cowboys.

Unacceptable.

I work/go to school, all on campus. Slow walkers is what kills me. Or people with functional legs taking the elevator to go up two stories.

What? Why would I walk on an escalator? If you want to walk take the stairs. I’m enjoying technology. One hundred years from now, you’ll probably whine that the teleporter isn’t fast enough.

Those walking sidewalk things in aeroports.
People step on them and walk, so what’s the point? And they are slower than the average walking speed, so it takes longer to get where your going anyways.
And I have to pay a fee at the aeroport before I can fly (on top of the fare and taxes) to support the upgrades and renovations to the aeroport, which consist of these stupid moving sidewalks.
There is more, but to sum it up, I hate aeroports.

Do you live in Ohio? And I thought the one here was the only place that happened. I got a membership at Sams this past summer, and the first time I went, I left with a vein bulging in my neck. Every damn car in the whole damn building was in the way, and no one would move. After twenty minutes of trying to get people to move, I just started ramming carts out of the way.

It’s like a stupid zone or something.

You still haven’t paid me for that news photo shoot.

People who get on elevators before the people getting off the elevators have a chance to get off! Especially if they are on the phone, that pisses me off!
I almost got into a fight with a UPS guy because of this. He runs right on the elevator while I was trying to get off, not that big of a deal really but he’s bumping his gums on his cell phone and stands right in front of me blocking me from leaving, then won’t move.

Once I push him out of the way I let out a sarcastic “EXCUSE ME”, he has the never to mouth off!! WTF!!! We’ve had two other instances since then, the last time he said he’d fight me in the parking lot at noon,(uh ok?) I got the ok from my supervisor to clock out and go meet him, guess who didn’t show up? I haven’t seen him since.

Neapolitan ice cream.

Perfectly evil way to ruin the superior chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Nebraska, I think the best time to go to Sam’s is sunday night ten minutes to closing time.
