Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Just a general overall question, but how do people feel about smoke breaks?

I know a few people here that easily take 1-2 hours a day smoking.

If I wanted to play a video game for that amount of time, I bet I'd be scoffed at.

Some smokers in my office are totally out of control. Generally though I think management does a good job of policing it, but the problem is some of the biggest offenders [I]are[/I] managers.

So interesting. I mean, I'm of the opinion that if you wanna' do it, it's your funeral provided you don't infringe upon non-smokers. I just think that smokers are given a free pass at work (at least here).

Matty, definitely noticed that at my last job. I mean what do you say considering it's something that's widely accepted in the workplace?

[quote=DynamiteRave;892683]So whats with all the Nickelback hate? I mean, I've never been crazy about them and I'm not defending their music. There's only maybe 2 or 3 songs of them ever that I've liked. I actually think they're kinda annoying, minus those 2 or 3 songs.

But one day I trolled the internet and I found out that it was cool and it was the "in" thing to hate Nickelback.

So whats up?[/quote]

People in general who insist on telling you a story that you don't give a damn about.

The fact that ESPN First Take talks about the same shit in 6 out of 10 topics everyday, and of course Skip Bayless.

It's been over a month. I think I'd even be sick of this commercial if it was the Skins.

Customers who call to ask a question but will not stop talking long enough to give them an answer.

Never figured out why people bitch about programing when they can just change the CH.
