    So what Really grinds your gears?
    For me, It is when straight people act gay, just for showing off perposes. I like see them even kiss the same gender. Also when I loose Internet conection when I am playing online, example: I am trying to kill something and it is almost dead and the connection goes then when I log back in I am Either dead or the thing I have being trying kill is back to full heath which I have spent 1/2 hour trying to kill.
    So what realy grinds your gears?

    People who chew their nails.
    People who highjack certain projects I am working on for a certain club (this just currently became a pet peeve of mine).
    People who lack compassion for other people's situation and make insensitive comments just to be a jackass (also a recent problem).

    -Lights on in empty rooms
    -TVs on in empty rooms
    -When the bathroom and toilet doors are left open in the middle of freaking winter, thus making the heater completely useless
    -Spiders in hard to reach places
    -Children
    -Old people
    -Strangers talking to you on the bus
    -People who take up too much of the seat on the bus
    -People talking during a movie, either in a cinema or at home
    -When your brother uses up 120gb of downloads on a 40gb per month allowance
    -People using your towel
    -People who think they are far superior to you, but they really arent at all
    -People who ask really stupid questions, expecially when they dont realise its a stupid question

    -Cars, buses, motorbikes and any form of transport that isnt walking

    Re: What grinds you gears?

    -My biggest gear-####### has to be the fact that when a double standard favors women, it's called chivalry, but when it favors men, it's called sexism. It especially grinds my gears that it's considered ok for a women to hit a man, but not for a man to hit a women, even in self-defense. That's not equality, people; sexism that favors women is still sexism.

    -I also can't stand the unfortunately wide-spread idea that one can't live a fulfilling or worth-while life without having children, that having children is the final purpose of our life. How about no; I hate the little brats and am not going to spend any of my time or money on one.

    -Speaking of which, children really grind my gears. They are loud, selfish, greedy, stupid, rude, inconsiderate, and unreasonable, everything I hate in other people. The fact that they are smaller and younger than a normal person does not change my perception of them at all. And there is little in the world that can make me angry as easily as a child's crying.

    -A more subtle gear-####### for me is when someone assumes that I hold a certain stereotype or prejudice because I am a member of a group that typically holds that stereotype or prejudice. My sister seems quite fond of assuming me to be a male chauvinist simply because I am a man. She may be right, but what she calls chauvinism, I call the highest form of feminism, for I simply hold women to the exact same standards I hold men to. That's, after all, what they want, right? (That was partially sarcastic.)

    -For some reason, people who misuse the word ironic really tick me off. I don't know why it's such a big deal to me, but it really isn't that complicated of a concept, and we have other words to describe other kinds of coincidences; let's not corrupt "ironic" when we don't have to.

    -The font Comic Sans MS. That's the one that looks like this. I just can't take anything seriously when it's written in that font. It was never meant to used as wide-spread-ly as it is, and its creator himself regrets that it has become so widely used.

    Have I told you lately that you are freaking awesome?

    And my pet peeve is the kind of person who believes their opinions are facts and all other opinions are stupid and wrong.

    You know what really pickles my eggs? People who appear out of nowhere around a corner in the hallways. I almost always nearly run over them. And I'M the one who has to apologize.

    Justin Beiber

    People who says "That's so gay" or "No homo" every other sentence

    When people say "Mmmhm" to you after you say thank you.... Um, no. The correct response is "Your welcome"

    People who have to ask ten million questions about absolutely everything

    People who complain about everything

    Picky eaters... Oh. My God. So annoying

    People who are ungrateful. It's like, you live in one of the richest societies in the world and you have so many good things, and you have the nerve to think your life sucks? Oh. My. God. :rolle:

    Oh yeah, Lil' Wayne!!! He makes everyone talk shit about hip hop. That's not even the good hip hop. He represents the genre poorly.
