What grinds your gears?

[Rainraven]

For those of you not getting the Family Guy reference of the title, I mean pet hates.
What are the little things that really peeve you?
A few of mine:

1. The peel off tops that they now have under the caps of plastic milk bottles. They never used to be there and we all survived fine, why have them now? All they manage to do is flick milk in my face every time I peel them off.

2. People that sit in lectures and sniff. Really, I'd rather be grossed out for 10 seconds while they blow their nose than have to put up with 50 minutes of sniffing.

3. Strapless bras. If it's not going to stay up, then what's the point?! :rolleyes:

Right, come on everyone, what grinds your gears? :D

[Fortis in Arduis]

1. Sniffing is completely gross. Coughing is also rude, actually, but one only notices these things in sanctified environments. The body should be kept clean and the humours reduced to lay the foundations for a culture of peace.

2. Many women are sluts who assume that a man who simply says 'hello' to them at a bus stop wants to f*** them. This is because they feel, think and act like sluts, abusing their feminity for material gain and personal power. Liberal forms of dress and behaviour were first popularised by the free intellectuals in society, as a way to distinguish themselves from the lower orders. As with all such trends some of the lower orders copied them and became very VULGAR. Their bodies are free, but their minds are imprisoned.

3. 'A man should never hit a woman' - instead of enjoying this unwritten rule as a means to soften a man's heart when he feels sad or angry with soothing words and kindness, or to help resolve conflicts between quarreling men, the liberal slut has taken power from it for herself alone and uses it to create conflict and further emnity between men. She has also written countless guidebooks to encourage the entrapment of other women into degradation.

4. Ageism and classism

[Absinthe]

My "mother in law". :grumpy:

Seriously now, she could easily make a buddhist monk fantasize of killing her in an agonizing way.

She is the most rude, indiscrete, cunning and manipulative person I ever had as a "mother in law".

I've had the occasional similar experience where out of the blue (certain) girls would start acting all weird and "offended" like I was trying something on with them when it wasn't the case.

Once I ran into a girl I knew from school at a pub, we caught up a bit on stuff and around leaving time I said I'd give her a lift home. For months afterwards I was hearing via mutual acquaintances how upset she was that I was expecting to get laid blah blah blah.... :rolleyes:

Another freaky one was a 1/2 Italian ex-housemate who would "entertain" me with endless mindless banter while I'd be trying to make supper in the kitchen and forget about another mindless day at work. She'd sometimes turn up unexpectedly in my room wasted and would talk talk talk talk......

One evening I was messing around with my camera downstairs while she was having a shower upstairs. For whatever reason she came down the stairs wearing a towel, saw me with the camera, mumbled some question, I made some kind of reply (nothing rude or interesting, can't remember the details).....she went back upstairs.

The next day I was told that I "apparently" made some crazy comments to her (which I knew nothing about and even stranger, she couldn't remember the words herself "but it was improper"?????) and she acted all strange and "terrified" for weeks afterwards whenever I was around. That was weird......

Friends and myself were watching a game at a pub. Two Neanderthals in the pub (each with their respective fanclubs) took a dislike to one another and little skirmishes kept on breaking out between them. At one point when it kicked off again a female friend of one of the apes went mental, aggravating the situation. My friend tried to calm her down at which point she hit him so hard that the proverbial red handprint got embossed on his face.

In the interests of our (and particularly his) survival I had to restrain him for much of the rest of the afternoon from getting even with the feisty hussy. :D

BA, do you think that this could be a reflection on the quality and "addictiveness factor" of soap operas on Greek TV? Perhaps they're just not good enough to keep her mind occupied? :p

6) "Full-blown faggots." It's one thing to be gay, another thing completely to assume the stereotype i.e. Voice and flamboyancy.

7) Arranged meetings with acquaintances as opposed to friends. I never know whether or not I should attend. Also goes hand in hand with number 1. :rolleyes:

[Gooding]

1: People of European descent who hate their own people.
2: People who insist that all the word nigger means is "ignorant" and then get all uptight when you show them the meaning of the word as it appears in the dictionary.
3:Watchdogs and thought police who try to tell me what to say, think, do, feel and believe.I generally tell them to go to hell because if I leave them alone, they'd better extend the same courtesy to me.
4:Mixed race couples that involve a white person.
5:75 year old mamacitas in traffic.They simply can't drive.
6: The swelling hordes of Latin Americans who seem intent on displacing us.
7:Blacks who blast their rap music in traffic, thereby provoking me to blare my country music back at them.

One thing that has recently been "grinding my gears" is when white military people who are stationed in Hawaii adopt Hawaiian speech patterns. Every once in a while I'll bump into someone I knew in basic training or AIT (someone who I know is not from Hawaii) who will greet me by saying "How's it, brah," (trans. how are you today). They'll toss in words like aloha (hello), mahalo (thank you), keiki (child-ren), and ohana (family). I just want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them and yell "YOU'RE NOT HAWAIIAN, YOU RETARD! STOP SPEAKING PIDGIN!"

[Manifest Destiny]

I could contribute quite a bit to this thread. I'll just stick to some recent ones...

1) I'm in the process of customizing a 1980 Ford Bronco. It's just old enough that some parts are no longer available from parts stores. And, of course, these are all the parts that I happen to need.

2) I watched the History Channel this morning and I again saw the episode portraying Hannibal's father as a black man. I'm not arguing that Hannibal and his family were white, but there is no indication that he was African black.

3) I'm still pissed off about the crappy ending to Battlestar Galactica. "God did it!" is NOT an acceptable way to resolve holes in the plot.

4) My wife and I went to a huge rodeo on Saturday, but it was so crowded that we had a hard time finding a place to sit. And the lines for the food were so long that we left to eat at a restaurant.

[Brynhild]

1) The kids today who have to speak with the word "like" every second time in a sentence. It just sounds so stupid and unintelligent! :mad:

2) Muslims - they're a plague, that simple!

3) People who are apathetic to their ethnicity, culture and ancestry. I'm a romantic fool in their eyes who lives in the past, just because I'm passionate about where I come from!

4) Non-Pagans who stereotype us as devil worshippers. Well, hello, you can only believe in the devil if you believe in god. I'm a polytheist!

5) Miscegenation - it seems more common for a white man to pick an Asian (at least here in Aus), and I believe it's because such men are really bullies who don't know how to handle real women so they go for the ones who have learned to be submissive!

6) People who open their mouths without giving any real thought to what they're saying.

7) Looters who go in for the kill like vultures, usually after a natural disaster when people have either died or had to flee! :mad:

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of for the time being.

[Frigga]

Oh dear........................

I could be here for a while! :D :P

My brother in law. He's a depressed person who hates himself. He has, for his whole life, projected his own insecure feelings onto other people. He makes other people feel insecure, and inferior, to bolster his own ego. He then wonders why it is that hardly anyone likes him, and most people actively hate him. And, he bases his self worth on what others think of him. Like the fact that I hate him really upsets him!

He's a talented person, but his work is so damn depressing, and he wonders why no one wants to publish his work. He needs the opinions of others to form his own opinions, even if he should break up with a girlfriend or not. He's a narcissistic, depressed, anti-Semite who dates Jewish women, and he needs therapy. And yet he insists that the rest of the world needs to accept him for who he is.

And that's just one person, and his major foibles. I think that I'll just leave it at that for the time being.

[Birka]

How Jackson ruined Lord Of The Rings with his un-Tolkein additions such as the whole Faramir story, the Arwen addition that never was in the book, how his wargs looked like hyenas, and making Gimli a comic character.

How white people think its a good thing that a black man was elected president, because it "shows that we have come a long way...."

How rap and hip hop is creeping into so much main stream media.

Cookie monster vocals in hard rock. Can anyone understand them?

Soda bottle lids, unscrewable

What makes me mad are the screw on tops on plastic soda bottles. I can not get them unscrewed without a kitchen tool. My husband who is a normal strong man, can't hardly get them off either. He unscrews them for me before we put them in the refrigerator.

The term negro refers to skin colour alone, hence why the term was used.

Oversized boxes:
I don't know whether they are doing this in other countries or not. Here in America, where postage is high, they put tiny little items I order in huge boxes. I will see a huge box sitting on my porch, delivered by UPS, and find out it is only a book. They do this all the time, and they really put a lot of filler in it. I order quite often since I live in a rural area, and it has gotten to be a joke with me and my husband, about what little thing is going to be contained in that huge box. I thought we were trying to recycle, and so forth.
So what are they thinking about?

How could I have forgotten the travesty of The Lord Of The Rings! All of the above I agree with. I can even expand!

The list of Miscast Idiots:
Liv Tyler as Arwen. Puh-lease!!
Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Give me a bloody break!!
Most of the Elves, with the exception of Galadriel, and Elrond.

Storylines that were added for ridiculous Hollywood reasons:
*Arwen's fate being tied to the Ring. Whatever
*Aragorn not already having the shards of Narsil with him, and the sword being reforged before he even left. Spare me.
*Aragorn being a relutanct hero. He knew what had to be done. This isn't the twenty first century where the name of the game is "dilly-dally". For shame.
*Aragorn being thrown over the edge of the cliff in the flight to Helm's Deep, to accentuate the Eowyn love triangle. Totally unnecessary.
*Elrond coming to Aragorn with Narsil reforged just before the passage through the Paths of the Dead. Retarded Hollywood plot fix!
*The stupid first ten minutes of The Return of the King being devoted to Gollum's story of him first getting the Ring. Unneccessary! That was ten minutes or more that they could have used to put in some of the pertinent parts of the story.
*Treebeard not knowing about what Saruman was doing to the forest, and the result of the Entmoot being that they were going to sit out the war. Crap! Treebeard had known for a long time, and was angry, and the whole purpose of the Moot was so that Treebeard could convince the rest of the tree shepherds to do something about it.
*Merry and Pippin having to trick Treebeard to challenge Saruman. It was probably to bolster their parts, but if Jacko had followed the original storyline, he wouldn't have felt the need to bolster their diminished roles.
*Frodo and Sam being taken to Gondor. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!! The whole point of Faramir letting them go, was to demostrate that he was a much better man then Boromir, and was able to see the deeper picture.

Things that Jacko left out that were Awesome!
*The Dunedain! Aragorn had kin up in the Northern Wastes. They accompanied Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas through the Paths of the Dead. They were very important.
*The whole Tom Bombadil sequence, but I understand leaving that out.
*The Scouring of the Shire!!!! ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON OR WHAT!!!!!! What, did Saruman just cower away like a whipped dog? No! He took over the Shire! He raped it, and paved it over. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin had to kick some ass when they got home, and they did it all themselves. That was very important.
*Grima Wormtongue killing Saruman after they were beaten. Come on man!

Things that Jacko did badly:
*The whole Shelob incident. Instead of having it at the end of the second movie, like it should have been, it's at the beginning of the third. What, is the beginning of the third movie just too boring or something? The way Tolkien wrote it, you were left with a cliffhanger with Frodo being taken into the Orc fortress, and Sam doesn't know how he's going to rescue him. Suspense man! Come on!
*Most of the scenes with Arwen. Come on, there are much more beautiful brunettes in Hollywood then Liv Tyler!
*Overdoing the Arwen scenes, and basically overshadowing Eowyn's role. Eowyn does one of the most important things in the whole War of the Ring, by killing the Lord Nazgul. That was big! And she almost died from the encounter! That was terrible of Jacko to do that.

I haven't watched the movies in a while, precisely because for the reasons I've listed above. As you can tell, I'm overly touchy on the subject. My apologies to anyone who loves the movies. I'm a purist when it comes to film adaptations of books I love.

Every once in a while I'll bump into someone I knew in basic training or AIT (someone who I know is not from Hawaii) who will greet me by saying "How's it, brah," (trans. how are you today). They'll toss in words like aloha (hello), mahalo (thank you), keiki (child-ren), and ohana (family). I just want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them and yell "YOU'RE NOT HAWAIIAN, YOU RETARD! STOP SPEAKING PIDGIN!"


I didn't really understand what you meant until, last evening, I was forced to sit through an episode of "DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER" (don't ask...) on the A&E channel. Although I've been to the big island and Oahu on vacation, I never bothered to listen to anything but the ocean and "here's your drink, sir", so I suppose I've never noticed it:confused:.

But yeah, this kind of assimilated enunciation/pronunciation/word borrowing from drastically different kultures and languages in general has something just really irritating about it. Across the board.

[Æmeric]

The fact that lowbrow trashy programming like "Dog the Bounty Hunter" is aired on channels like A&E or Bravo. They belong on E!, MTV or Spike. With the literally hundreds of satellite/cable channels that profess to specialized to a particular group &/or niche, certain types of programming shouldn't overlap on the same channel. I also hate so called reality shows.:rolleyes2: And Ryan Seacrest.

[Birka]

I'm a purist when it comes to film adaptations of books I love.


I do agree with all of your criticisms of the Lord of the Rings. But what movies do you think did stay pure to the book or story?

One movie that I think did not stickily follow the novel, but seemed to get the feeling of the theme in my opinion is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1962) novel by Key Kesey and 1975 film with Jack Nicholson.

I can't think of too many others, might be a good thread idea.

[Frigga]

One movie that did not follow religiously the plotline, but still kept the feeling of the story was Watership Down. Since they made into an animated film, they had to gear it for children, but, they kept to it's heart, and didn't ruin it. Watership Down is a great movie, and a great book.

Another movie that I feel is just as good as the book, even if it is completely different, is Blade Runner from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The two complement each other, even though a lot of the movie is completely different.

Island of the Blue Dolphins was a good adaptation as well. There wasn't much in the way of plot to begin with, but that's because it's based on a true story, and the Indian woman was the last of her tribe, abandoned for eighteen years. No one was really able to understand her after she was rescued, and she died soon after being taken to mainland California.

I can't think of anything else, although I know that there have been a lot of movie adaptations from books. I may think of more! :)

Staying on motoring topic ;):

- Drivers who drive too slow! Grrr
- Drivers who don't use turn signals at all!
- Drivers who use turn signals way too early
- Drivers who use turn signals too late!

- People who can't hide the scorn from their faces when talking to you, rude people in general :mad:!

[Gooding]

Oh, Hell yes, let's talk about motorists!:mad: I despise the trash that blast their music and then turn it up at a stoplight!I hate that damned Mexican beat(same beat, every time!)that certain flashy cars blast. I hate being cut off by idiots who don't use their turn signal and then stare at me with a vacant expression on their faces(looking like a retard won't save your life when you slam into a Mack truck).I hate being honked at by the car behind me just as the light turns green and I'm already pressing the accelerator.I can't stand those who sit halfway through a green light talking on a cell phone or looking for something in their car.The area's too congested already..you'd think people would try to sharpen their wits rather than deaden them.

3. Strapless bras. If it's not going to stay up, then what's the point?! :rolleyes:


<_< I love my strapless bras. They allow me to wear strapless tops, gowns, etc. without the worry that I'll be exposed if anything terrible happens. ._.

Things that bother me in general:

1. When people don't have the common decency to be polite in their daily affairs.

2. People who are mean on purpose.

3. When something is out of place.

-Smelly people in my 'bubble'. When in line, at work, etc.
-Ebonics
-People who can't drive, and I'm stuck behind them! Ahh!

That's it for now. :D:p

[Maelstrom]

Umm...WTF is that?

That, my friend, is a possum. They were introduced to New Zealand from Australia, where they are scrawny little endangered herbivores. I'm not entirely sure how long they've been here for, but they were introduced in the hope of establishing a possum fur trade.

Once introduced to NZ they became omnivores and spread with an alarming rate. They're pests that carry TB and are now a great deal larger than their Australian counterparts. Apparently there's about 70 million of the blighters here in NZ.

[Brynhild]

A lot like these two animals being introduced!

I'm a 75B, which is small enough to stay up on its own, needless to say with a strapless bra. :p But I get your point, I have friends who whine that strapless bras don't do the job for them :tongue

I generally think strapless bras are meant for small/medium chested girls only, otherwise, indeed, there's no point :wink

Older women (yet not old), usually fat and obnoxious, that push and shove in order to get a seat in the bus.

I hate it when 50-and 60-year old housewives demand a seat because "they're older", when they're just going out for shopping and socializing whereas I'm working 2 jobs and hence I am a little more tired that them.

I would gladly offer a seat to a granny but I don't see why I should stand up for those jobless, obnoxious greek orcas :grumpy:

This is quite annoying, especially when you are coming back tired from university in the rush hours and the old ladies seem to go somewhere with friends. In such cases they usually look and feel better than me with my low blood pressure...When my mother was pregnant in 9th month none of those old cows stayed to make her seat! The same when I was 7-8 years old and going to lost conciousness due to bronchitus...
So, now I don't give my seat to such "ladies", until they don't start loud scandal. I do that only to pregnant women, women with small children, invalids and old people that don't look insolent.

What's the point of their existence except to spam us with pointless and misleading advertisements about what not to eat? :confused:

I worked at a supermarket once and for a week everytime when someone was going to pay I had to ask "Would you like to donate $2 to the Fresh Futures appeal towards childrens hospitals", or some such spiel. I hated it. I'd see mothers come through buying everything on special and the cheapest brands and then I'm meant to ask them to donate to a charity?! I think charities are a wonderful thing but it should be entirely optional. I think most people did it because they didn't know how to refuse. It embarrassed me so much to ask that I stopped doing it except when my supervisor walked past :mad:

[RoyBatty]

You're right RR, the "guilt trip" technique is very commonly employed by charities or those working on their behalf. The potential victim is usually placed on the spot and pressured into donating, the implication being that if they don't they are "unpleasant", "uncaring" and "not nice" type people. Almost everybody wants to be thought of positively by others so the technique is quite effective.

I'm highly suspicious of charities. There's no way to know where the money is really being spent, whether they're doing anything useful etc. In the UK many charities also "won't accept" cash donations, instead expecting a person to set up a direct debit from your bank account which (of course) then debits a certain amount every month guaranteeing them a steady stream of income.

A friend of mine used to be involved with the UN and Amnesty International etc. and from what she told me it became obvious that the money is often being spent for purposes other than the stated ones.

Nowadays charity for me means helping my friends and family when they need it. I'm also happy to help out honest beggars, especially the ones asking for money to buy booze or dope. :D

[SwordoftheVistula]

There's an extremely irritating 'public service' ad they keep playing on TV here, so annoying I usually turn the TV off whenever it comes on, warning about 'cell phone harassment' of teenagers. Hmm, maybe just turn off the damn cell phone, or take it away from them?

People who have lived in our country for most or all of their lives and don't speak a single word of our language, and are unwilling to learn as well. And then they brag about being mistreated and how they can't get a job. And even if they work as a cashier or what not, some of them refuse to communicate in our language. Not to mention their Soviet imperialism. :mad:

[Tabiti]

Charity actions in most cases bring money to certain people. If all the charities were real charities there would be no hungry people in Africa, no AIDS, no cancer... just try to imagine for what amounts of money we are talking about here! And they steal from us, the poor, to give to the rich! I never give money for charity because nowadays it's not a positive quallity. You are not going to heaven because of that, but securing someones future heaven on earth!

Beggars here are well organized gypsy mafia and have more money than me...

When some young people carry on like they're on the same level playing field as adults who have been on this earth twice as long - they've acquired knowledge, skills and experience, they've endured hardship and the good times, raised families and watched them grow up. Those same young people may have had tough beginnings but it's still the tip of the iceberg by comparison.

The thing that annoys me with those young people is that they tend to forget how the older generation who have carved a path before them have, indeed, already lived their age. They have to reach where the older people are, they have the most to look forward to and the least to look back on.

The emphasis on growing up too fast is disturbing. If they should be fortunate to live so long, they will rue not enjoying their earlier years so much.

Lack of space Don't know how much space you have. Maybe you need to better organize your stuff or get rid of some of it.

House plants that die without apparent reason There's a reason. Either neglect or possibly suicide :suspicious:. Your house sounds depressing.

Dust-accumulating golf clubs Dust them off.


I suggest a change of locale. You'd probably be happier somewhere with more sun. Maybe Orlando or Perth.:cool:

[Loki]

You need to trim them more often. I know it's easy to ignore them until they become a nuisance.


I don't have one at the moment. I was thinking of past experiences. :p



Use Noxzema or some other moisturizer without a feminine scent. Wash you face with it before going to bed & before you shave in the mornings. It makes a world of difference.


I don't have a major problem with that, in fact it's already gone away.



Drink less beer, do more situps.


Waistline obesity is not only caused by beer drinking, that's a myth. Again, I don't have a major problem with that, it's just because of a period of inactivity. I should be back in shape within a few months.



Now that you are gainfully employed again, look for new accommodations. There should be plenty of bargains at the moment.


I like my flat, I don't want to move. Location is very nice, right next to the forest. :) In the late afternoons, wild foxes come from the forest and play on the lawn. Then come right up to my window, and I see them almost every day from where I sit in front of my computer. This place is nice, you wouldn't imagine it's so close to a world city.



Never heard of Fuller's Pride, will assume it is an alcoholic beverage. Throw the empty bottle out.


No, I meant the problem was that it was empty. ;) It's an ale with 8.5% alcohol, delicious and potent. You have to drink less to become drunk, which is great. Getting rid of soberness was never so easy. :thumb001:



You know my opinion on Star Trek.


:wink



Don't know how much space you have. Maybe you need to better organize your stuff or get rid of some of it.


Yeah I need to chuck out some stuff I guess. I think I need to hire a Baltic girl to come spring-clean the whole place. It doesn't cost much and it's worth it.



There's a reason. Either neglect or possibly suicide :suspicious:.


Yes. It's not neglect. I think my plants had empathy with me.



Your house sounds depressing.


Nah, it's home sweet home to me. :thumb001:

Well if you refuse to do that then be prepared to have your times wasted even longer. And if you cop and attitude with them, keep in mind they don't give a shit, they have 12 hours to kill and deal with alot of shit from people so cut them some slack. ;)

[Lars]

Stupid people and the loudness.

Morons make noise when they think e.g.
Q: When is your birthday?
A: Uhh...ohhh...aaahhoooohhhhh...May...uhhh...6th.... oh, no...the 1st of May..no...uhhh...the 1st of June.

And their fucking stupid cars and bikes which they remove the muffler from.

I have to say Canadian custom officials seem to have it in for Americans if you cross at the US-Canadian border. But if you fly into the country via Pearson in Toronto they are much less annoying. They also scrutinize Whites more then they would non-Whites.

It's not that they have it in for them. Their job is extremely stressful and very demanding and they put up with alot of people who just don't take into consideration how important their job is and that everything they do is for a reason, whether people understand or agree with it or not. Btw, if you're ever in Toronto, give me a shout, I live just down the street from Pearson. :)

[Goidelic]

People who say race is a social construct and deny its biological component.

People who say race doesn't exist, we're all equal, but then scream racism when people use foul language.

Blacks that scream racism, when in fact they're the true racists practicing Affirmative Action.

Sicilians, Arabs, Iranians and other Middle Easterners who call themselves white or Aryan as in Nordic.

Sorry but I am relatively unsuspicious looking person and I was not being a hassle. I've never had any problems going through customs in any other country. In fact, most European countries will literally stamp my passport without even looking at my picture. They went out of their way to be rude to me. It was about midnight and not many other people were coming through and they seemed more bored than anything.

"Are you on drugs right now?"

"No"

"Why are you lying?"

"..I'm not lying. I don't do drugs."

"Why are you going to see a DJ then?"

"Because he's my favorite DJ and I like his music"

" Because you like his music." (very condescending)

"Yes.."

"You know you're going to be arrested if we find drugs in your car."

"I don't have any drugs in my car"

etc. etc.

They were just assholes for no apparent reason. I've never taken a drug in my life and I told them they wouldn't find anything, but they took their sweet time looking through my car. For what it's worth it was a woman cop and they have a tendency to feel like they have "prove" themselves more than male cops.

Well count yourself lucky, hassling you for the music you listen to is nothing compared to them pulling your ass out of the vehicle and having a k-9 team search your car and watch as they tear it to pieces for suspecting you of having drugs on you, or being high. That would've been rude.

I have not crossed the Canadian border in about 10 years, but I use to do it quite often. When living in Washington State I would visit Vancouver at least once a month to see concerts and such.
I always had problems getting back into the U.S. ; "What do you mean you were only in Canada for a day. What were you doing there?"
Thankfully, I was never searched!

You want to know what grinds my gears?

Bicylists!! :grumpy:

I live on a senic country road, and on nice days, we sometimes have thousands ride by. They use our driveway as a latrine, and clog up the flow of traffic by riding 3-6 abreast, and scream at us "Share the ROAD!!" if we have to drive by them in a hurry. Or, at an intersection, they'll loiter and ride around in circles if there's a large enough of a group, and wait for others to catch up, thinking that the vehicles waiting to use the 3 way intersection need to cater to their whims. :mad:

These same people drive gas guzzling cars and SUVs every other day of the week. They piss me off!!! :angryw

Book Stores

Over here there are two chain book retailers. The size and collection of their locations are roughly the same so I guess they are owned by the same conglomerate. My problem with them is that it's as if the manager walked in and said "You know what we need? a bunch of crappy Sherlock Holmes imitators and on the magazine shelf nothing but feminist and make-up women's magazines". It also would not kill them to have something that's older than a decade, what a joke, this is why I stick to Amazon.

Welcome to the club. Between federal, state& county, along with FICA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Insurance_Contributions_Act_tax), I'm paying around 44¢ on the dollar. But at least this means you're doing well financially, otherwise Inland Revenue wouldn't be sticking it to you.:D

What ticks me off is that I'm supporting all those unwed mothers & their bastards. And I know I will never collect Social Security or medicare & the money I'm paying into the sytem could be saved for mine & my wife's old age but instead it is being stolen in a government sponsored ponzi scheme.

I was watching a kid's news programme (Newsround) on the BBC yesterday - none of the reporters were white - they were wither back or from the subcontinent. Typical BBC! :mad:

Edit - I meant `either black` I've noticed BBC America has added a Asian Indian to their rotation of newsreaders/anchors. But it still seems moderate compared to some of the US networks, especially NBC & MSNBC.

[Phlegethon]

And I know I will never collect Social Security or medicare & the money I'm paying into the sytem could be saved for mine & my wife's old age but instead it is being stolen in a government sponsored ponzi scheme.

And exactly because of that welfare becomes more and more appealing to me, especially as welfare cases with children make a lot more money sitting on the couch and eating bonbons than I do working two jobs.

[Frigga]

What's currently grinding my gears right now are a few things:

*Straining my very lower back from helping my parents move, and clean their old house in 48 hours

*Not having Advil, or Norcos touch the pain

*Finally going to the doctor, and being given a muscle relaxant, and being told to have Advil three times a day to help bring down the inflammation

*Because of the above advice, I can't have a beer, as I don't want liver damage from the drugs interacting with alcohol.

*Still having a dirty house because I can't bend over to clean because of said injury!

:grumpy:

[Barreldriver]

People who complain about working more hours. Pussies, all more hours means to me is more money to put towards my future, heck if they don't want them I'll take them.

People that get pissed off about things but instead of just saying so they clam up and act quiet and shitty, but when you ask they will claim that nothings wrong! :mad:

So I cannot find out if Rebecca is only the daughter of Ester from a previous marriage, or an actual daughter of Levi and Sarah. :( There's no adoption records that I can find, so idk.

They're going to get their asses handed to them one day, it can't come soon enough. Anyone who reads the cesspool called Anthroforum knows exactly who and what I am talking about.
