What REALLY grinds your gears?

"Somebody needs to pay....for all my children" I hope I live long enough for that phrase (and the associated anger) to fade from my soul.....

I hate pettiness in general.

I hate people that have to have the last word.

I hate people that squeeze onto a crowded metro car with their backpack on. Like, hey mother****er it's rush hour, you mind taking that shit off?

I hate women that lug around these big ass handbags with every god damn thing in them. Shoes, laptop, food, another handbag inside that bag. Why do you need so much shit to go to work? I'd just stay the **** home, am I right?

But nothing annoys me more than fake ass Redskins fans thinking they know more about football than you do. Not anyone here, but we all know that guy. He knows shit about football, so he or she pounds Snyder all day long as the reason the Skins suck. I literally had this dude, who didn't know that Clinton Portis was no longer a Skin, turn right around and pretend to be a football expert. Talk about grinding my gears.

The average dumbass fan, can't stand them for shit.

The word "resiliency." Almost always it is the wrong word - the proper word is RESILIENCE. And "resiliency" has an extra syllable, so it is harder to say and harder to write. Why put extra effort into being wrong when the lazy way is also the proper way?

Folks who engage in deception, refuse to admit to it and then produce irrational excuses and counterattacks.

Do you live with a toddler? This happens to me every day with my 3 year old son!

What grinds my gears are people who love to find the tiniest mistake in your work then CC Obama on down on their email to you that you need to correct it, yet to fix the problem it would be quicker to just fix it and move on. We are talking about a font size mistake(7 vs. 8). Her husband must have the worst life ever not to mention your nose could be used for a keel and Grimace is in better shape then her.

I hate people like that. Why does every office have that person? She will do stuff like that to folks then walk around like we are all best buddies and talk non-stop about her son.

Funny how tattletales still exist. People need to live and let live because if someone does that shit to me, you better believe when they make a mistake I'm not going to be shy about keeping that mistake out in the open.

We have a network engineer here who CCs literally the whole department when he gets tired of doing something he thinks should be "your" job.

Chicks (or dudes, but never seen that...) that cry at work. I'm not talking about if something sad happens, etc. But this chick in my office cries over the littlest shit. You wonder why people won't take you seriously when you cry at the slightest hint of bad news? Get over it. Be professional.

Oh the one I complained about earlier does that as well. As soon as the heat is turned up she cries. Losers every office has them.

You cant be kicking puppies in front of them. People will get upset.

I hate when your typing in a mailing address they have a stupid drop down box. It would be alot easier to type it, instead of having to click on the arrow scroll to your state and then clicking on that state. Takes alot more work and time and its just stupid.

This is all sorts of funny. It's like Stevie Wonder complaining about braille, Marlee Matlin complaining about sign language

Type the first few letters, then press the tab key. Problem solved...unless the thing isn't programmed that way.

Not that it matters but it actually has to do with how the browser handles it vs how it is programmed
