Ok, people who bitch about the people they hang out with like they have no control of the company they keep.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
many moons ago, a coworker was having trouble w their cell phone. i told them to soak it in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
my boss overheard me say this, and assumed that i was out to sabotage their phone. gave me a stern talking-to. i just had to laugh

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
i've had a lot of miscommunications in my youth, but i have no one to blame but myself.
one of my favorites was in a crowded pet store in the mall around xmas time. a man near the middle of the store (right next to me, in my ear) was calling loudly to his son in the rear of the store. making no effort to actually move towards his son, calling his name "joshua!" several times, i just turned towards him and said "my name is kyle". he was furious and said through his teeth "i was talking to my son!". i didn't feel like making any more trouble but i wanted to ask why he was doing it in my ear instead slithering his lazy ass to his son, who obviously didn't hear him, or was ignoring him.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
Writing a Motion with two other authors and two non-writing supervisors (same one as my last post). Conference call with all involved to discuss how to improve draft product.
Non-Author No.1: I think you should argue more facts. ME: The facts you want argued are irrelevant to the legal point the other side is making. NA1: Okay, well, perhaps you could just include them in the argument to highlight that they are irrelevant. ME: Umm, okay - I do that when I include the footnote saying "Since we concede the existence of a contract, the facts stated in paragraphs 10 - 44 of the complaint, alleging the existence of a contract, are irrelevant to whether or not the contract was breached." NA1: Yeah. Expand that. LATER SAME CALL: NA2: Well, I haven't read the cases, but that doesn't seem right. I mean, if the cases say what you say they say, okay. I'm just not sure they do. ME: I did read them and that's what they say - it's why I used quotation marks and cited to their facts. NA2: Yeah, but I'm not sure I agree with that. ME: Okay, but, unless there is a case I didn't find in my 10 hours of research on that specific, limited legal issue, it is what the current law on the matter is in Maryland. Do you know of a case that says something different? NA2: No, but I'm sure there is one. See if you can find it. ARRRRGHHHHHHHH

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
Seeing as tonight is the night everyone is celebrating Halloween...
When my friends drunk dial me. Drunk texts? Okay. But when you're drunk and you're calling me from a party and screaming at me through the phone because its so loud we can't hear each other? *click*
