What Grinds Your Gears?

However, going into a place full of Bill Gates dressed up as a hardcore goth...

(I hope I don't have to explain why a guy who claims to dress like Bill Gates would want to buy a Fullmetal Alchemist hoodie...)

Improper use of the clutch really grinds my gears. What's with all the Khkhkhrkhrrring? You'd assume that if someone knows how to drive, they'd know which foot to put down, and when!

Especially in some movies where they have to show the clutch EVERY TIME someone changes gears. Eg. the extremely lame Fast and Furious.

It pisses me off when people don't wait for everyone to receive their food in a restaurant before starting eating.

And it seriously pisses me off (American restaurants I've been to - I'm looking at you!) when waiters take your plates away before everybody's finished eating! Rude, rude, rude... and a rock solid quarentee of ensuring no tip at all from me!

Grrr!

You what really pisses me off? confirmation codes!! You know like the ones you have to fill in when downloading with rapidshare. It's already anoing that you have to wait an hour between downloading 2 big files but like that isn't worse enough they also let you fill in a code. And those codes are anoing as hell. I often get them wrong because some characters look like they are other things. And if you get the code wrong you have to wait 2 minutes before you can try again. Some services also only let you try 3 times. I understand that they make a code to prevent abuse but can't they just make them easier to read?

What really pisses me off is when people make extensive noises while eating (don't know how you call it in English, I mean like, when you eat with your mouth wide open for example). Nobody eats completely silent, but some people just sound like they swallowed a 400 watt amp. I know this seems kinda random, but it really makes me aggressive, sometimes it's really hard for me not to say something about it. It's better when people I know better do it, though. Or when people pull stuff out of their teeth after eating. ARGH! I just can't explain it, but for some reason I can't stand watching this. It doesn't make me feel sick to my stomach or anything, it just makes me aggressive. Really strange.

they won't even get into a local heavy metal bar because they don't dress creditably enough.

wait a second, since when do people have to dress a certain way to get into a heavy metal bar?Ã,Â I have never been to a metal or punk bar that had a strict dress code.

Since they started sacrificing babies there. No, seriously, they tried to get in once, and the doorman said something like "perhaps you shouldn't come in looking like that". But he did let them in on own responsibility. One of them went and was almost hit by a 9 inch nail sticking out of someone's shoulder.

I wonder how come nobody has mentioned it yet:

Yufts boss! Definately!

I find nothing more obnoxious from sovinistic pigs, from sexist male who should be castrated! I cannot stand for the shake of my unfair treatment, no matter what! I can't believe someone may be unfair to someone else. I can't stand people not keeping promises. I can't stand people being "bad" to people...

I totally I agree!! bosses like that shouldn't exist!! I guess the thing I mentioned was just the first thing that popped into my mind. The things you mention are way more important.

Bosses, period...

My bosses give me gift certificates for doing a good job. IT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!!

Actually, there's not much these days that makes me mad. I'm irritated by loud breathing, but other than that I'm usually pretty happy.
