What grinds your gears thread!
You know what grinds my gears?
People who don't take off their backpacks while in a bus PACKED with people.
For crying out loud, do you selfish bastards not f'n realize the extra amount of space your backpack is taking as you stand there listening to your ipod or whatnots completely unaware of everyone else trying to squeeze through you? It almost takes up the same amount of space you do! How do you not feel, as you talk with your buddies moving side to side, the resistence off your backpack pushing people behind you at the sametime? It doesn't hurt to be a little considerate of the people paying the same fare as you do so put your backpack down and use some muscles!
And that's what grinds my gears.

People in groups who walk through hallways, be it at school, at the mall, etc, and all walk side by side each other. And not only that, they fucking walk slow! GTFO of my way so I can get by you slow walking assholes!
So to all of you slow, side-by-side walkers:
And that's what grinds my gears.
People who make too many lame family guy references, cause the show is mostly unfunny.
And that's what grinds my gears.
People who seem to think that their sense of humour is the only one that is important and valid, and if they think something is unfunny, then it is "globally" unfunny, because their opinion is the be all and end all of opinions.
To those people, I say:
And that's what grinds my gears.
I was born in a land of freedom, where everyones opinions matter. What grinds my gears is when the elitist citizens of our society, ignore the opinions of the free people of Canada and try to make us feel bad for expressing said opinions in the first place.
To those people, I say:
And that's what grinds my gears.
When people misinterpret their freedom to express their opinions as meaning that the opinions that they express are "right" while other opinions are "wrong". What they don't get is that there's a huge difference between stating an opinion, and making a conclusive statement about something.
Example:
"Family Guy is unfunny to me." <---opinion
or
"Family Guy is unfunny" <--- conclusive statement So to those people, I say:
And that's what grinds my gears.

Some people really grind my gears when the overanalyze comments on the internet way to deeply. Accordingly I will say to those people that any statement coming from a person can be classified as an opinion if it is not a known axiom.
So to those people, I say:
And that's what grinds my gears.

And THAT'S what grinds my gears.
PS. Go on MSN, I want to ask you something.

Slow walkers... GRAWR!
Slow PEOPLE... GRAWR!
When you're driving on a two-lane road, and there's a car in front of you in each lane, and they're both driving at EXACTLY the same speed, so you can't pass them. Sometimes it looks like one is going to just creep past the other so you can get through, but then they'll slow down at the last minute and you'll have no recourse but to cry on your dashboard.
This is the road equivalent of the slow-walking people problem.. except you can't just push through cars. ICBC would kill you.
That really pisses me off or grinds my gears until they are fused together.
when a chinese woman drives. :D
either they realize you're not letting them into your lane and they swerve onto oncoming traffic, or they don't realize they're taking up 2 lanes.
people who don't use turn signals, there's a reason they were invented, use them.
when you're in the right lane with a car in front of you driving slowly, so you decide to pass, look in mirror see a car maybe 20 m back in left lane going your speed.
so u signal to change lane and they accelerate so u cant make the lane switch. then end up going behind them but they slow down to the same speed as the car in the right lane u tried to pass
Soccer moms driving their large SUVs tailgating you at 100+ kmp while chatting on their cellphone. The world doesn't revolve around you and your parasite of a kid. I'm going to chuck a large wrench out my window one day and watch it slam through the windshield.
ROAD RAGE
people who pick up their dog shit on the trail with a plastic bag and then proceed to toss said plastic bag back onto the ground or off the trail.
if you just kick the shit off to the side of the trail nature will take its course. but now that its in a stupid plastic bag its just gonna sit there.
fuckers
motherfawkers
Those inconsiderate people who don't remove their backpacks on the bus, lean on the stanchions while totally oblivious to what's going around them while they are in their own reality world listening to blaring loud music that everyone else can hear and those people who sit on the bus pretending to be asleep with their bags on the next seat.
In other words Inconsiderate Transit Users grinds my gears.
