What REALLY grinds your gears?

[mlmpetert]

The assholes who put those "almost high beems headlights" on their cars.
Just seeing this pic or watching a commercial for these headlights pisses me off. More visability and saftey for you at the expense of everyone else on the road.

I bet it's not these types of lights that bug you. These are legitimate off the shelf products. Marginally brighter than what come from the factory.

What grinds your gears is probably the eBay/Craigslist HID retrofit kits. Those are the real offenders.

You are right! People on TR4.org are always putting those on.

They need to work on anti-glare etc tech for auto glass rather than limit lights

This is what grinds my gears:

Joshua Waddell, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marines, appeared on his way to a stellar career as an American military officer. The son of a retired Navy SEAL commander, Waddell was awarded a Bronze Star during his first tour of duty in Afghanistan and had returned for a second.
Then he made a decision in combat that military experts say has severely jeopardized his future in the corps.

But some military experts say the black mark on Waddell's record was undeserved, that he and other young American officers are being put in a difficult, if not impossible, situation by unreasonable rules of engagement foisted upon the military by politically sensitive commanders in the Pentagon.

After you read the 'incident' try to picture the desk jockey that came up with the ROE.

That's crazy. They definitely need to clear up the ROE, because I'd be pissed if that happened to me.

You're a fashionable dressed, husky trucker in a sub-compact 18-wheeler?

This is just like 'What's My Line', today won't be a waste after all!

I bank with Citibank and my cell is with AT&T. Generally speaking the customer service is good. But God..and this may sound a little racist or whatever, but I hate getting transferred to the call centers in India. It's like they don't what the **** is going on..and you can tell they're reading a script the entire time. For instance, if you interrupt them it totally throws them off and they have to get back on track. It's like a huge waste of ****ing time.

But the part that really pisses me off is if you're going through the automated system, they will ask you if you want to speak to an agent press 0..but then they make you jump through three more hoops as if you're not really, really sure you want a live person. I'm usually so pissed when I get to someone I have to take a deep breath.

So what really grinds my gears? Shitty ****ing customer service that ain't customer service at all.

I have like 5 checking accounts and 3 saving and I have all of them with the two local Banks and I actually talk to local people if I need to call. If I need something the local branch mgr actually can do something without calling home office. If you have a local bank or if you can join a credit union I would do that and you will never go back to a large bank. The only down fall is if you use ATM's alot your limited with a smaller bank.

Oh, and if you want to shred 1-5 (or 6,7 and 8 if you're one of those flashy car owners) this should do it:

Afghan soldiers killing US soldiers

Afghan soldiers turned guns on their US and NATO trainers more in 2011 than perhaps any other year, and the military organization running the war in Afghanistan has responded by choosing not to report details of these incidents.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led security mission established by the UN Security Council in 2001 to secure Afghanistan, has opted to leave the announcements up to the respective nation whose soldiers are killed.

Sometimes, the incidents are simply not reported.

I wonder why?

Not realizing that my Warpath avatar was changed by the forces of Evil until just now grinds my gears.

On hold for a conference call, waiting for the party that set up the call in the first place.

Gears officially grinding.
