People who say: "I just have a quick question..." and then proceed to unload all of their stuff like they just go home from a long day and catch their breath to begin a quite long winded story.

I'll just take the facts and the question, thank you.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
these are a few things that grind my gears.

Y'know what grinds my gears? When people ask you how you're doing, and can't be bothered to hear an honest answer? And y'know what grinds my gears worse than that? When you ask someone how they're doing and they actually tell you....

And what grinds my gears worse than that? The suckie grammar I'm using in this message.

1) Conservatives (or liberals) that don't accept facts
2) Conspiracy theorists
3) Tony Blair, George Bush, David Cameron and other politicians
4) People with extremist views, particularly in the right of the spectrum (i.e. Nazis, Hitler-lovers, BNP supporters).
5) People who manipulate and twist situations and/or facts to their own gains
6) People that can't speak English properly
7) Indians who pretend they are Western, but obviously aren't because they can't speak English properly
8) Typing things too quickly on a computer and then having to delete it again to correct mistakes
9) People that have their head in the clouds all day long
10) People that are completely depressed all the time
11) People that swear too much
12) Gamers that hate Mac because it can't play games (that being the only reason they can think of)
13) People who hate Mac just because it isn't Windows
14) People who use Linux and call everyone else, particularly Mac users, "noobs"
15) People that think they can hack just because they've watched a video about SQL injection or something else on YouTube that day
16) Bureaucracy
17) Overly complicated tax systems
18) Poachers that can't control their dogs (and refuse to pay for broken mobile phones caused by their out-of-control dogs)
19) Very long, dark, cold, wet winters like the one we're having at the moment
20) Very long, hot, dry summers like the one a couple of years ago

I could keep going up to about 100 but I think it would probably prevent anyone else from having a moan about things!

Whoa Dan, take a deep breathe You didn't have to backspace did you?

Something else that grinds my gears is people who let off the gas and coast through an intersection when the light turns green instead of moving along.

I also can't stand people with bad spelling and grammar and also people that don't
(or refuse to) read the forum rules.

Oh, when I click the back button anywhere on WT, I hate it when it takes me back
to the top of the previous page, instead of further down where I was initially.

Dang Dan, lots of things must raise your blood pressure there . A few of those about you I didn't know before.

Another thing I can't stand is writers block, it can be difficult waiting for blogging inspiration to strike.

I'll just take the facts and the question, thank you.
My daughter does both of those things and it drives me insane! I once grounded her because she wore socks & sandals

Me too. I have corrected a few elementary school teachers and they became quite irate!


People who think that everyone has to agree with them, no matter how wrong (ignorant) they happen to be.

Edit:

SPAMMERS WITH FAST FINGERS!!!
