What really grinds your gears?

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

I have seen this on a few other forums, so I figured we could start on here. Just some place to vent something that really aggravated you today, or in general.

I can start with two things:

1. I got in the car this morning and it was 36 degrees. 36 degrees in the middle of March in central Florida. WTF. Poor kids on spring break can't even enjoy it. On the plus side the high is 73... but still this is just ridiculous.

2. People with no damn courtesy when it comes to elevators. You ALWAYS wait until the elevator is cleared before trying to walk in. This happens every day at my work and I see people that are getting off that have to say excuse me. That is BS, I have seen people get on the elevator before everyone has gotten off. This shit really grinds my gears.

Left lane drivers.

Left lane drivers.

Is there a super "agree" for this???


The list is long but distinguished:

Misophonia
Distracted drivers (both land and water)
People that follow idiotic "policy" versus common sense
Entitled Youth
Incompetent Management, of anything
Laziness

...the guys that finished the drywall in the basement this week that didn’t put plastic over the doorway to my HVAC, resulting in a house FULL of dust when the blower kicked on.

Not much......I let that kinda shit go years ago. Just easier to go about my day instead of getting heated over anything.

In other thoughts, my wife often wonders if I'm interested/attached to anything......It's a fine line I walk

People that stop and wait for traffic to clear instead of using the merge lane on a highway.

And not using turn signals!

THIS. Great call out. I have two right turns with merge lanes that people struggle so hard with... sometimes it backs up traffic for a 1/4 mile.

I'm thinking of installing a set or airhorns just for this scenario. If I'm going to wait behind someone who refuses drive correctly, then 160+db should do nicely to get them moving or get me laughing when they crap their pants.

That's called "comfortably numb" and there's a song about it from a band called Pink Floyd, I think.

People who take advantage of the system (food stamps, disability)

Disclaimer: not the people who actually need it, key words “Take Advantage”

Amen... I know this may ruffle some feathers, but what is with drivers in the south. I was born and raised in the north, but have spent most of my career in the south. Maybe it is just where I am that has the world's worst drivers or the bad drivers from the north are a distant memory.

Wasting my taxes on a trial for the scumbag school shooter Cruz and many others.... Much cheaper to put a piece of lead in their heads.

It's probably just all the blue haired snow birds in Florida.

People who think this country owes them everything that they did NOTHING for!

The 3 people that think it's ok for them to go through the red light because it just turned red.

That changes to ice, then snow, then driving snow with wind.. Then sleet... Then rain that puts a nice hard coat of ice on top of it all. Two days later... Pollen attacks! #ncweather..

LEOs that abuse their power. Watched one of my good friends get arrested for literally nothing, because some off-duty drunk cops thought he did something. Off-duty slammed him into a car (dented it), and refused to identify them selves further than "officers". Their Sheriff buddies came evenutally, arrested him without reading Miranda and took him to a CVS while they figured out what to charge him with. My own arrogance thought this was a race thing, but after seeing it first hand, it is purely abuse of power.
