In this thread, post something that annoys you. It could be something mundane, like pennies or shoelaces for example, or it could be something more serious, or it could be something completely random that you feel like venting about. Let's keep it fun and friendly, and avoid directing it at any specific people to avoid inciting drama :)

You know what grinds my gears? Videos buffering. Seriously, who wants to watch a video and have to wait for it to buffer every 5 seconds? It's even worse when you can't just pause the video and wait for it to load. I've seen a lot of video players that actually pause the buffering when you pause the video. WTH? Buffering grinds my gears.

In PC, users who format their posts. Not that I have anything against them personally, but sometimes it hurts my eyes. (or something like that)

Also American Imperial units. I had so much trouble getting used to them when I first came to US.

That reminds me of something else that grinds my gears: advertisements on websites that fly around the screen. Ugh, I hate those things. Especially when they're designed to make it like, impossible not to click them. Those advertisements need to vanish from existence. Whenever I see those it makes me specifically not want to buy what they're selling -_-

agreeing so much with the post formatting haha. I used to do it myself until I saw how bad it looks on some skins and now I can't stand to see anything except the default font when a post doesn't contain CSS to make it actually look good.

You know what REALLY grinds my gears? The fact that humanity is considered to be the dominant race, even though facts show that we are one of the weakest races. Insects are the most likely to survive once we nuke ourselves, or destroy everything due to our "superior brains".....
"Life is so wonderful, Life is so beautiful, just smile, no one gets out alive."
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
"Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die."

"A man said to the universe,
'Sir! I exist!'
'However,' replied the universe,
'the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.'

What really grinds MY gears is when someone decides to use the urinal next to mine while I'm in the restroom. It's unmanly and also disgusting.
Ask a question, or make a suggestion of what I can do on http://thefattestsnorlax.tumblr.com/

Of all things to annoy me the most, I really dislike being in quiet environments, which is primarily why I always have music going when I'm not talking with anyone else or watching TV. Even the air conditioning blowing is noise to me, just as long as it's not purely quiet.

Ugh, I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when I'm about to click a link, and more of the webpage loads and makes me miss it.

"Okay, I'll just click this link here to see more about this awesome band, and. . . .-

You know what grinds my gears? People bum rushing into debates with a closed-off mindset expecting to come out on top in the end. Stupid, stupid, stupid.



Also, I really don't care for programs that include corporate sponsorships for **** like Bing and Google Chrome, especially when in the installer they have the boxes checked by default to **** up your home page and browser. Don't you think if we wanted your mediocre product we would've downloaded it already?

Facebook game invites.

No, I don't want to play that game. **** off.
This. Especially in regards to Candy Crush. (DANGIT! I ALREADY SAID NO 8 TIMES!)

Also, people that are close-minded, which being in the part of Texas I am in, I unfortunately run into a lot. Also, even though I'm straight, I can't stand homophobia either, which I also see a lot of where I live.

Bullies, especially those who are mocked for their interests or if they have a disability. I've been one of those victims and I feel sorry for others who are badly affected by these stupid cowards.

You know what grinds my gears? People who misuse words from their true definitions. Words like "Gay," "Overrated," and "Autistic" are being used as negative responses to things they either hate or can't agree on. This tends to be common at 4chan, which is suppose to have some of the more intelligent people of the internet due to be the vocal minority, and yet they keep misusing these words.

They're always used when they have nothing intelligent to say back so they have to resort on ad hominem (if you can even call it that) attacks, best thing to do is to ignore them.

Speaking of which... printers are ********. (video has some profanity, be warned)

Spoiler:
^This. James Rolfe's "You Know What's ********" is what inspired me to write this thread :D

And yea, printers are annoying. In fairness, they have improved quite a bit over the years, but still the only reliable ones are the big huge ones you find in an office. Home printers suck.

What grinds my gears are.

Blocked fb games still sending requests.
when someone acts a fool because they are "better".
People who are. Prissy.
When I fail at something.
When my bus is late.

Walking down the path I know. Banning Pokémon just because you don't know how to beat them is just plain wrong. It's like banning alcohol because it makes ugly people pretty.
