Things that grind your gears.

Im fine with Bicyclists on the road, its when they cut in the MIDDLE of the road, or pull out without looking, not allowing you to overtake them.

Im a car. i am clad in metal, aluminium, rubber and other hardy materials. i weigh 1 tonne upwards. i can travel at any given time 100kph if i choose

You are a man/women human. you are clad in light lycra or spandex sitting on a seat that is attached to a metal frame with wheels. you weigh 40kg-100 odd kg. you can travel at a maximum of hmm, what?, 50-60kph on the flat.

Do the math if i accidentally clip you because your a doofus not looking/riding down the middle of the road lol

If you're in the vehicle that can travel faster, it's pretty much always on you if you clip them.

Accidentally shifting in to second instead of fourth.

If you're in the vehicle that can travel faster, it's pretty much always on you if you clip them.

Not when they block my path on the road and i try and pass them at a 30kph-40kph crawl and they wont let me pass, its there obligation to move to the side a bit so i may move past them.

Or when they are a smaller mass and weave out of a side street without looking/thinking and i have to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting them (has happened)

I get what your saying, but its one of my ultra pet peeves. bikers that think they can take such a wide berth

I don't understand how you could not notice that XD I freak the fuck out sometimes when I wake up and can't feel a limb. One time I woke up and thought my arm was gone 'cause I was in that half-retarded daze you're in when you wake up. That reminds me, if you have a bed that's practically on the ground, don't have a big black chair next to it or you might wake up and think there's a monster attacking you.

I'm pretty much unaware of most stuff when I just wake up. Even worse if someone wakes me up instead of letting me wake up by my own. Have walked into the frame of my door in my bedroom and got a nosebleed a couple of times when I've just woken up. Takes like 1 hour for me to actually become functional after waking up.

the use of the word "swag" (swag is a shorten version Secretly We Are Gay) the use of "yolo"
Iphones and the dumbasses that waste money on apple products
Most new rap artists that ruined hip hop (I miss real hip hop )
and what really grinds my gears elitists of every kind

[Sole-Warrior]

the english language its grammar are insane. as long as you can spell most words (i will often forgive for words like anaesthetic, or other long-ish uncommon words) you are fine by me.

i finding capitalising letters to be somewhat pointless, especially when typing on a keyboard where holding shift causes a bit of wrist pain. and i'm not going to hit caps lock twice for it. are my sentences less meaningful or that much harder to read because the beginning letter is not a different case?


as for what irks me.. hmm. apart from silly things like the word 'garbage,' i suppose one thing that happens many, many times on every single day.. people who do not indicate on a roundabout.

Grammar NAZIs on blogs... They are some of the WORST!

The Elderly.

Don't get me wrong, being elderly doesn't mean I hate you, but some really annoy me.

Particularly how some believe they deserve everything because they're old. For example, I've had elderly people cut in line before for various queues, one I asked what he was doing and he responded "I've spent most of my life waiting I deserve this much at least".

And then there was an uproar when in my area the elderly weren't allowed to use their complimentary bus pass before 9AM, suddenly outraged that they had to pay to use a public service, one that put the 9AM rule in place because the majority of their customers were the elderly riding the bus for free and on a route by route basis, they costs to keep the bus running weren't being met.

That annoyed me. Fair enough, retire, you've lived a long and (Probably) hectic life, but don't think you own the world or have the right to be raised above those younger.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, I don't know, but either way, it grinds my gears when I see the elderly get away with so much for no good reason, at least in my books.

You should read it because just because the grammar is bad doesn't mean that the point in the post is invalidated or bad.

Well, sure, but if I misplace a comma or make another error, I'm not doing it because I'm a rude person, I probably did it because I messed up, or I didn't quite know the grammar rules for it.

Yes but to those who know, it's frustrating to put more effort in to understand it. It's like someone screaming loudly in my face - I don't care if your point is valid if you are completely disrespecting me and the medium of communication. They have validity.

Again, I think you're hung up on the idea that one person makes a slight error is the same as just absolutely trashy written posts.

I'd say it depends on speed, if you're talking about racing style bicycles that can speed along like a car, then yes. Personally when I ride a bike I prefer to go at a leisurely pace (I don't very often), so there is 0 chance of me hitting anyone unless my reaction time is over 30seconds.

I don't care. I want to walk on the pavement without dodging vehicles. I don't drive my car on there at 10mph and say my reaction times make it fine. Scooters can't go on there. A vehicle does not need a motor - bikes are clumsier and can really bloody hurt.

Get on the very side of the road at all times and let people with pushchairs and pedestrians and people walking animals be safe.

The natural way for me to do it, is to actually hit caps lock before typing a capital letter and then hit it again afterwards. I type like a loon though. I use two fingers on my left hand and three on my right hand, never could get the hand of using every finger like a touch typer does.

It's kind of an inbuilt thing for me though. It would feel unnatural for me not to use capital letters.

1. Any person saying skinny women aren't real women.
2. Anyone that hates on the rich being rich, shut up nothing is wrong with that.
3. People that say I'm (or someone else is) delusion because I think I can become rich one day, really how stupid.
4. People that kill kids. Killing people in general makes me sad, but when it's a kid I get very angry and imagine myself becoming a vigilante and killing them in the same way they killed the kid, hahaha.
5. People that cut me off, I always get the urge to drive them off the road...lol.
6. Broncos doing bad the first half making me sad, then suddenly doing good. They've been doing this for last 2 seasons, it's driving me crazy.
7. Slow people at a drive thru, hello why are you here if you are going to take forever!
8. 3 open lanes at walmart during prime shopping times, really walmart please make the commercial a reality.
9. People that hate on SUV's.
10. Dumb Europeans that assume everyone in US is fat, especially folks from UK, hello you're not far behind!

No hockey season so far. Fuck both sides for not coming to an agreement.

Turning into the wrong lane (ie: not turning into the closest lane. You may turn into one, and only one lane, even when there are more than one lanes available. It's dangerous and stupid.

Also not turning when your turn lane is open but the other lane has cars. (Then I know you're an idiot before even turning, AND you're needlessly making others wait.)

Not using your blinker properly.
(quick look->blinker->long look to make sure open-> turn)
NOT: look+turn+blinker at same time.

If you don't blink, you're not getting in my lane. I'm not going to guess what's in your head even though I have a good idea.

People that refuse to merge properly. It's not that they don't know how, I know they know how because somehow they passed the driver's test. Everyone knows how to merge properly. The ones that refuse to do it correctly need to be slapped. You do NOT have the right of way coming from an on-ramp. No one is required to let you in. People already on the highway are not supposed to adjust their speed AT ALL to accomodate you. It is YOUR job to find an opening and merge in by adjusting your speed. If the person already on the highway adjusts their speed, it makes it difficult and more dangerous for the person on the on-ramp to judge merging.

Blocking traffic in the left lane. The right lane can go any speed that's legal. The left lane may not block traffic by going the same speed as the person in the right lane no matter the speed. It is the person in the left lane's job to make sure he doesn't block traffic. If that means speeding up or slowing down, then so be it.

Braking on the highway without due cause. This also includes braking for the off-ramp before being fully on the off-ramp. You're causing every car behind you that is still on the highway to brake for no reason, creating traffic flux, and in heavier traffic areas, much problems.

Misusing the word "so" and "such" by not completing the sentance.

ex) That's so hot ... (that?)

"So" is a comparative adjective. You need to compare it to something else you're using it incorrectly. The word you should be using if you don't complete the sentance is most likely "very."

ex) That's very hot. (complete sentance)

Correct use of the word "so:"

ex) People that misuse that word make me so angry I wish I could slap them in the head.

Correct use of the word "such:"

ex) These chips are such a success at the party that I'm going to make sure I buy them for every party.

People that disrespect you by interrupting. I talk, you talk. See how that works?

People that refuse to answer a question with a direct answer.

People that refuse to respond to a logical argument and think they refuted the argument by bringing up something unrelated. Argument stands until disproved.

Lack of teaching logic and reasoning in schools.

Saying your opinion is fact when it's just an opinion and cannot yet be determined to be true or false, or it is subjective in nature.

It's still your fault if you attempt to pass them without proper space.

This really depends on the situation. Some exits need you to brake on the highway because of how short they are.

Also, the exit only lane is the exit only lane, if there are enough people behind them to cause traffic problems due to braking, there are a lot of people who need to learn to drive.

Not every exit has an exit-only lane... That was referring to instances without an exit lane. Barring weather, exits are (*should have been built) to where you are not required to brake before being fully in the exit. If you feel you need to, either you're wrong and are braking too early, or the exit was built incorrectly. Traffic density does not have any factor on the person behind you's ability to drive. A person braking when they shoudn't be can have large effects on dense highway traffic.

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area, maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys, maybe even in the colon. We don't know…

I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.
My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested (oh no) no way (uh-uh). No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense.
(oh yeah) yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets and piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong…
NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole (he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (he's the world's biggest asshole)

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a God-damned thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why!

Two words--nuclear fucking weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the democracy they want. They can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of Tiananmen Square and it won't make a lick of difference, because we’ve got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen! And when we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times. That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.

I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes and Lee Marvin (Hey) and Sam Peckinpah (Hey) and a case of whisky (Hey) and drive down to Texas… (Hey, Hey, Hey)

(Hey you know you really are an asshole)
Why don’t you just shut up and sing this song pal.
I'm an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He’s an asshole, what an asshole)
