Cutting the tip of your finger. It's an annoying pain if you don't put a band-aid on. But if you do put one on, it just feels weird when trying to do stuff. Especially typing.

Yeah, that doesn't look fun at all. That's definitely a gear grinder.

Hold on, you mail me a request to complete and return including receipts and appropriate paperwork………………..and then you don’t include a Return Envelope?

Motherfucker

This is why is wish I had my own seal team six…I would call them up with a mission to return this time sensitive document along with instructions to neutralize the target who didn’t do me the curtesy of a return mail envelope. Mutherfucker, I’m busy ballin and it’s Christmas, I don’t have time for this shit.

Slow-walkers. And more particularly at the grocery store. My goodness, some people seem to be trying to win an award for how slow they move around.

Carolinas are a big change of pace. Drove down to visit my Daughter and I swear I thought Andy and Barney were going to stop me. We went for a ride to look around, we pass Dairy Queen at 8:40pm a line around the building, we drive a few miles and are back at 9:00pm and it is shut down tight , all lights off and parking lot empty! Side walks a rolled up at 9:00pm.

When you have direct deposit but your company and/or ADP fuck up, and the checks have to be physically shipped, and they ship your check to Nashville, TN when you've never lived there before. Good times.

Waking up to the sound of your dog puking in your bed. Not cool. Having the puke soak thru your sheet into your mattress, also not cool. Fun start to the day.

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1337524]A quick grinding gears with hotels…man fuck all the taxes and fees with the per day rates[/QUOTE]

I won't blame them for the taxes part. Because cities fuck out of towners with ridiculous added taxes to pay for stuff like buses that no one uses. Hotels have no power over local governments screwing people.

But the fees, parking, etc., is all a way to trick us into thinking the nightly price is cheaper than what we're really paying.

Companies that won't pay Americans to be their customer service reps and the people they hire in another country give you the wrong fucking information twice. And it makes your life way more difficult than it needed to be.

Dogs with do not pet signs on them. Don't care if it's a drug sniffing dog at an airport. It's neither fair to the dog or myself that I can't pet the pooch.

If I can add to this, being at the grocery store and people with Bluetooth on their phones talking to someone like they are standing right there next to them., with no filters MF this and MF that. Seriously I don't want to hear this crap!

I tell my kids how when I was a teen going to HFStival or some other big concert you would have to make a game plan for time and meeting location when you were leaving. If the meet up was 10 and you were late you had to figure your own ride home. No cells to to follow location on snapchat. They think it sounds dystopian.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

In 50 years, there will be technology that people will be shocked that we lived without. Change is inevitable.

It makes life more convenient at times, but definitely doesn't make us better people.

It would be wild to take a peak at life let's say 200 years from now. Think about how quickly we've gone from riding horses and living by candlelight to electric cars and everyone walking around with a computer in their pocket. Pretty sure in the future we'll be living in a simulated world, if we aren't already.

I remember being at a show not being able to find my friends and going up to groups of kids my age asking if they were headed to Maryland or Virginia. If they were headed in right direction I'd bum a ride. It was always nerve racking when it was getting late and the crowds were thinning and I still didn't have a ride. Some of the best stories in my teen early twenty years involved these adventures.

You would never tell your parents you were left behind because you were late because that was all on you. Now parents would be made that their kid was left behind if they were late getting to the meet up.

I remember the 1st time I got a text message. I was in class at junior college. I didn't even know what a text message was. And I didn't know they cost 10 cents each either. That didn't go over well with my dad.

My grandson sitting behind me in my car asked what this thing was I had behind the seat, I looked and started to laugh. I told him it was the very first GPS, ...it was a Road Atlas.

It's funny. Whatever one you go with, the opposite does look weird.

Is 1 way or the other the official right way now? I'm not sure. I've been a 1-spacer for life.

People that merge lanes in bumper to bumper traffic. I like to leave a decent sized gap so I'm not constantly jamming on my breaks. But then you get the people that merge into that little gap. Like yeah, we're flying over here!! Good choice to merge at a 90 degree angle to get into our speed lane we have going on over here.

I’ve never filed an insurance claim on my vehicle in my life, no accidents…knock on wood. Got comprehensive on the truck and my rate with geico, about 3-4 months ago they raised my monthly rate from $68 to $95.

I haven’t gotten any tickets in 5 years. My guess this was due to vehicle values holding steady and inflation? It’s just a fucking another thing pissing my wallet off
