Who/What Grinds Your Gears?

People who don’t use their turn signals when driving.

My neighbours who have loud sex in the middle of the week…does wonders for my insomnia.

Fucking midtown flamers…!

x2 i really get upset when i dont get a head nod in return haha

even worse than the trucks are the people with a little fucking beamer that think they are soooooo superior because they bought bmw that they can take up 2 spaces. I usually try my best to park as humanly close as possible and hope that a scratch occurs.

Might actually be able to help. If your laptop is a PC and it came with Vista installed, try the following two things:

  • search for “Revo Uninstaller”. Download and install it – has a tool that lets you control what programs run at startup simply by checking and unchecking boxes. You can stop a lot of crapware from loading and slowing your machine down. The “junk files remover” feature is good as well. Works on XP, too.

  • go to blackviper.com. Read what the guy says CAREFULLY and start to play with your startup services. He also has settings for XP.

If you can score XP free or cheap, you could also try installing that (takes up a lot less of your resources than Vista).

There are other things you can do to speed up a computer that’s not very hardware-fast. I’m running Vista Ultimate on a 1.5 year old machine with a lightweight processor and it boots in 30-40 seconds. I’m running Avira antivirus and Comodo firewall, btw (some antivirus programs slow you machine more than others.

EDIT: One more thing, if your machine is running Vista and has a gig or less of RAM, you’ll either want to buy some more memory (not that pricey and easy to install yourself) or downgrade to XP – some computer companies will let you do that for free or at a reduced price w/Vista (even though you can’t buy XP through normal channels now). Considering doing it myself.

Other than the above, make sure you’ve scanned for viruses, that your operating system is up-to-date, and defrag your hard-drive.

I wouldn’t downgrade to XP now since Windows 7 is coming out in a few months. I’d rather just buy some more RAM. Not too expensive, and it helps a ton.

People who buy trucks in the city.

Guys who bring food/shakes into the gym

The suburbs AND people who aren’t a fan of new urbanism

People with a sense of entitlement

People who think having children is the greatest thing in the world

People who don’t encourage others to be better

Childrens Anime

Crazy German Porn

Micromanagement

Haircuts

And definitely get grinded over horrible customer service

100% what i was going to say

sometimes u just look at the other person like “are you for fucking real right now”

You make a good point about RAM and Windows 7, but for all I know Apple’s got a Mac (ha!)… I’m guessing he’s got a PC and, that if it’s a year old, it’ll be running Vista. Don’t know how much RAM he’s got. Also wouldn’t buy XP at retail, but IF he can get it cheap/free through company he bought his computer from, it’d be worth looking into on a machine that’s bogged down w/Vista. RAM, if there’s not much on there now, will help alot, even w/XP.

What I’ve read about W7 is that it’ll be a little lighter/quicker than Vista, but not by much. Also, that it’ll be expensive. XP, on the other hand, is way lighter. Regardless, almost any year-old machine, unless it’s total crap, should run Vista fine with a little tweaking and 2 gigs RAM.

I think lady gaga is hot.
Her style reminds me of what Madonna and Cher did back when they were popular, being over the top and shit.

I work at a grocey store, and what pisses me off is when people walk through the section of floor I’m mopping. I don’t see why they cant just wait the 5 minutes it takes and come back when the floor is dry or go pick up their other shit then come back.

The British Parliament after they declared Icelanders (Landsbankinn) terrorists.

This happens with me quite often actually.

I’ve got a couple for you…

People that can only talk about celebrities, sports, money, and/or their children. I do not care.

Door to door religious types. I hate you for coming to my house to try spread your crazy. Rational people live here.

Company doublespeak and HR in general. Also, the recent trend to be SAFE in everything we do. I work in an office and get lectures about holding the handrails while walking up/down the stairs.

Have some fucking respect. It is possible to be rational and religious. Intolerant fucks like you are the problem.

Haha! When i lived in miami i would run into these DB’s stopped on the road all the time. AGH!

One thing that’s been really grinding me lately is 10 ft paint jobs. Not cars, but the kind of girls that are “nice from afar but far from nice”.

Along those same terms, the “hot” girl driving in her car, but when she gets out it’s a disaster!

I hate it when people talk to me about how great or how big their children are getting. I guess its my fault for pretending to care.

Gillian McKeith. Fucking bitch

I work for Tire Warehouse as a tire technician.

  1. I hate it when people pull into the bays like they’re drving a sports car.

  2. Pulling too close to the wall as if I don’t need the space. Jesus fucking christ, your two feet from the wall and theres six fucking feet in back of you.

  3. When the customer pulls the car into the bay thats the farthest away. Yeah, I don’t like doing more work than I have too.

  4. People who watch me do my fucking job. I fucking hate that. Seriously sometimes I want to say something to the thirty somethng housewife like, “Ma’am would you please go away? I don’t go to your house and watch you blow the fucking mailman do I?” The worst is the guy who doesn’t know shit about his car but watches me like a hawk as I dismount or mount his tires. They follow me into the shop and watch me and ask stupid questions about what I’m doing to the tires and the rims. Well, sir I’m throwing a handful of wheel weights into your tire so that your tire gets destroyed from the inside out.

  5. The extremely hot girl who sees that we are not yet working on her car because we are busy with the two cars ahead of her but feels as though her car should be done immediately because shes hot and she knows it.
    “oh my god, why aren’t they working on my car? The big guys(ME) out there stuffing his face with a sandwich and the other guys are smoking, I have stuff to do.” Meanwhile we’ve only been at it for like four hours straight in the blazing heat. My boss comes out and says "The girl with the Scion needs to hurry up and leave so lets get on her car right now, and then turns around and walks out. My usual remark is, I’m going to make her ugly, wheres the torque wrench?

  6. The people who come in at five minutes of six and want four brand new tires. My boss takes them every single time it happens. He always has the tires for them no matter what. This means the other guy and I have to stay late and do the grunt work. Ninety percent of the time the customer never acknowledges the fact that we just stayed late for them. I hate not being compensated for my time.

  7. Working every fucking saturday. The only ones I don’t work are the ones when I’ve got National Guard drill, my honeymoon, and the fourth of july.

  8. My boss sucks at life and he is a cheap prick. We have a machine specifically for custom rims, its called a rim clamp machine. It’s broken and he’s too fucking cheap to get it fixed. We have two impact guns, they are both junk. There is only two of us tire techs. We think that the boss is holdng off on hiring anyone because profits are up. Awesome right? We slave all fucking day so that at the end of the year he gets a good bonus.

I know this has been a really long post and I’m sorry but it felt so good. I’m going to save it and send it to everyone in the company before I resign and get ready for my deployment to Afghanistan.
