Gas station, at the pump. The pump is not working, out of gas, broke or something. Get in car move it up a spot and get gas. Go inside and grab a drink and tell the cashier "Hey bud, just wanna let you know pump # whatever is not working." Cashier response, "Oh yeah been broke since yesterday"

Just shake my head and walk away. How about you give your paying customers a f*cking clue?

Apparently putting up a sign is too much to expect.

Gas station related gripe for me, I hate pulling up to a busy gas station where all the pumps are taken, yet nobody is at their car. Do that many people still pay in cash? Or are they just using the pump as a parking spot while they can go inside and shop? I'm betting more on the latter. F'ing lazy people.

Must be something in the water.

Mine has made impossible for me to be in the same house her and her husband. No big deal now but big fights to be expected when the holidays roll around - and of course the kids don't get it.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

My in-laws especially my mother in law is just a royal pain in the a$$.

Currently my sister and her husband just drive us nuts. We try to get together with them in order for the children but ever plan is meet with resistance or they will make the plans then cancel at the last second; which is just a joy to explain to a 4 year old who was hoping to play with his cousins.

The biggest one of late resulted in us not speaking with them for a month. My parents for Xmas said they rent a house in Rehoboth for the summer for a week as a gift to both families. Everyone was excited on Xmas days and for a few months making plans and what not. Well come April my BIL decide he just can't go there to many homosexuals he can't expose his children to that. So after much debate my parents canceled the house and the trip is off thanks to my homophobic BIL.

Finally 1% of the remaining people think this post was funny.

62% think statistics don't need to be proven to be true. 62% think statistics must be proven in order to be true.

No, it's my wife's sister (and her husband) that are the issue.

Actually, I am pretty happy with all my other in-laws. I was actually friends with my wife's parents for a couple of years before I started dating my wife.

I have toured her house.

Any who you can add extended family vacations to the list of gear grinds as well. I hate to say it but when my trip was cancelled a small part of me was happy and a big part of me was happy that my BIL was the bad guy in all of this.

Your Sister/BIL and my SIL/BIL would get along [I]just[/I] fine. Thanks to their #$R$% attitude toward my son, my daughter and her cousin can't play together (my niece is the only other girl cousin the same age range as my daughter in the extended family of ~15 cousins). They have essentially said my son isn't welcome in their home and are shocked that my wife & I would take the position that none of us will be going to their home until they change their opinion on that issue.

As I said, should be f'ing interesting come Thanksgiving/Christmas.

Look - you brought the subject up. I can't help it if she was the original sister-in-law from hell (actually, I think hell would probably kick her out for ruining the neighborhood). Why do think no one talked to you for 10 years? Particularly after that crap she pulled with Mom. You still haven't really answered for that one.

Oh geez. Obviously she ain't no saint, but why do you have to hold on to things SOO long. And as for the stuff about Mom, it just ain't always the way it looks, but I forget you see things through black/white right.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Not a saint? um, that's like saying Hitler was just misunderstood. Your ex was just about evil incarnate - actually, evil models itself after your ex. The reason everyon (not just me) held "on to things SOO long" was b/c your wonderful wifey never let anyone forget anything.

As for mom, it was EXACTLY the way it looked - to me, to Dad and to the court. Grey was not a shade in play at the time.

Ever think maybe your characterization, or lack there of, may have had something to do with me not talking to you all for so long. Yeah, I want to hear family dragging my wife at the time's name through the mud every time I tried to call, just because she's German and set in her ways. And civil property damage penalties - when Dad acted the way he did, yeah, of course Dad's going to see it the way you wanted your lawyer friends to portray it what a joke!

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

You want to bring this up now? in public? ... fine. I was willing to let it be in the past.

Dragging her name through the mud? Buddy, last I checked the only time you called was to bitch about her. We didn't need to hear it ... and when we did, all we did was agree with you.

So mom gave the kids something nice - about time someone did. No f'ing need for wifey to go ape sh** crazy on Mom's car. Dad saw it my way??? Holy crap ... I didn't realize you were bringing that sh** into it again. Dad saw his property trashed and his DIL screaming obscenities at his wife THAT's why it broke the way it did.

F'ing hell, just 'cause you have been a giant disappointment to Mom & Dad, doesn't mean that's their motivation for everything. Silly me, I made something of my life and they appreciate that. Maybe if you hadn't let yourself get derailed by Mistress Evil, you wouldn't have to be pulling the "they like you better than me" crap all the time.

Something nice??? Look you may like it that mom and dad get your kids all sorts of stuff (nothing new there) so you don't have to buy them anything, but we had said repeatedly what was and was not appropriate for them to get our kids, and that stuff was WAAAY over the line. Maybe she shouldn't have ranted back at mom and dad but "ape sh** crazy" is not defined by swinging a purse and breaking off a side mirror/window. Like I said good ole boy network court cases don't really prove much, but hey no wonder you don't want Redskin Rat's computer encroaching on their territory.

Let me roll my eyes a little as I listen to Mr Perfect son speak to the wonders that exist... Ok, maybe I'll go throw up a little instead.

LOL ... "over-the-line" a football, and a couple of jerseys from their favorite teams? Oh my, how over the top can you get! Mom & Dad have been generous to [I]all[/I] their grand kids so don't try and single me out. Silly of them to want to bring happiness to their grand kids. I know that's a foreign concept to your ex .... To quote a certain brother "She excels in bringing misery to everyone." Remember THAT conversation??

You know as well I do that it was more than a broken window. If she didn't want a restraining order, she shouldn't have threatened mom. "Old boy" network didnt have anything to do with it. The video showed what the f***ing video showed. The judge offered to recuse himself 'cause we were friends but you told it was okay - I believe "I know you'll be fair" were your exact words. Guess what ... He was.

Maybe, if you actually could use a sentence containing a noun and a verb, you could actually hold up your end of a conversation. "Nuh uhhh" is not exactly a particularly persuasive way to make a point.
