"You know what really Grinds My Gears?"

1.) This is a rip off of Family Guy however it is a good thread to have for everyone as sometimes you just have to say something about what really grinds your gears!

2.) No complaints about this site! This is meant for RL things outisde the HNZ Universe anything about the site that grinds your gears (that includes people, even if it's inteded as a joke, no!) you should take up with the Admins in Private and have them fix any problems or tell you that it's you! (JK) (or not)

3.) No rude language also you may comment on someone else's grind but please leave your own when you do, everyone has something!

4.) can't think of anything else but more rules can be imposed since a thread like this is negatively thearapuetic and may need more regulations to help keep it as a way to positively let out the stress in your RL life!

"Your know what really Grind My Gears?"

people that know it all!

there's this guy at my work that is a real know it all, he chosed to pass on Yale University and work at our job and constantly brags about his intelligents...

It's really quite annoying since most of the Koreans we work with are probably smarter than he is and just don't brag about is as much (I like Koreans more!)

Not everyone needs to stroke thier ego about what test scores they have or use a bunch of words memorized from the dictionary all the time!

Especially since A.) the guy lacks basic social skills (most people don't like to hold conversations with him because he can't stay with the topic and tries to debate with everyone) B.) He brags about how great he is and then when he has to do something in front of everyone ends up messing up! (everyone is quick to point it out!) because if you say that you can do it and brag about how easy it is, don't mess it up!

Some people are smart and just don't want everyone to know, some people have sacrificed intelligence for basic social skills and common sense! Finally some people that think there so smart and better then everyone else have alot of fun on the top of thier mountain all by themselves! Cause like they say 'it's lonely at the top!'

I have to admit that I completely agree with that! There are people that are smart and yes it is fine to make people aware of their intellegence, but then there is just plain cocky.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When your not having a great day. Everyone has those days where you just want to give up right? Most of the time I will feel better if I talk to someone about what is bothering me. What I want to gain from those talks is some advice on my problems and maybe a little sympathy. What grinds up my gears, is when your having one of these days and you go to talk to someone and they completely change the subject so it ends up about them. There is nothing worse than trying to make someone feel better when you went to them for a perk up yourself. Especially when their problems are ones you have already talked about with the person, are completely stupid/unimportant issues or when your issues are much bigger/important than that persons.

And that is what really Grind's my Gears!

 

[Ellie Sparks]

I totally agree, it happens to me all the time and I just want to bang my head hard against my wall :uberyawn:

Depression... lately I've been getting depressed and it's really over nothing! I know I have alot of work to do and I do it and I'm pretty non chalant about everything that comes and I know I have a good life and yet I can't help but feel depressed... it really takes away your energy especially when it buts in while your trying to come up with some tough decisions (which combine just makes both worse!). Everyone get's depressed, it's a natural and normal human emotion it just sucks when you get it and don't think you should have it... think I'll just eat ice cream and keep trying to convince myself that I shouldn't be depressed and that I should snap out of it...

Do you know what really grinds my gears?

when my buddy gets depressed and doesn't tell me. I know there's nothing I can do this far away other than glomp you and read any of your messages but its nice to know someone is on the other end of it all.
It's not really a grinding of gears but I just don't like when someone who I consider a friend is depressed so far from home and friends.
I know I'm a bit late with this but --

Now what really grinds my gears ~X( is when some silly person comes along and types up sentimental messages in a topic that could otherwise have been pm'd! ) /

Liars
I hate it when people lie, I don't mean little white lies made to help people feel better though I don't really do those either. I've never really seen the point in lying and simply don't believe in it because I've always been able to catch people when they lie and so I know that someone will probably catch me if I lie. It's just easier to tell the truth anyways. When people lie anyways, there basically hoping that your stupid enough to believe them and not catch em whether it be at that moment or later on, which is where I tend to catch the liars anyways since I have a pretty decent memory when it comes to people telling me things. I just get ticked off when someone lies about something they didn't need to lie about and then I find out later on because then I have to think about everything they've ever told me and judge whether it was the truth or not and then I figure out that alot of what they've said has been nothing but lies and I get ticked off even more. I try to keep to a certain standard and know that everyone can't do that however I think it's just to easy to say "I've messed up blah blah blah no excuses" and then move on rather then you trying to lie about it and digging yourself a deeper hole. It just makes you look bad and disgraceful. If you don't have your word then what do you have?

When someone asks me a question and I don't want to answer them, they assume that is permission to analyse me.

Now I know if you don't 'let people in' they have nothing else to go by but questions about your life. Which is fine. But there are quite a few things wrong with this:
People need timing. For example, many people don't understand that it can take others more time than themselves to warm up to them. A week can be enough for some, but in my case (and with certain people) it can take as long as months or years to be comfortable with telling someone about my private life.
Another thing wrong with this:
When they don't ask appropriate questions, or moderate the amount. 'No' means 'No', y'know? When you've gotten to the point of saying "You know what, let's not talk about this anymore", the appropriate question is not "Why not?". Coming back to that question the next day and using the same method of interrogation, is also not an appropriate way to get someone to warm to you. It just isn't.
Finally, another thing wrong with it:
Just because someone doesn't tell them their innermost secrets doesn't give them the right to make up a meaning in their heads. It's called assuming, and it is often way off. This is how rumours are started, and it grinds my gears that people feel the need to fill the gaps in. The whole point of not telling them intimate details is to let them know it's none of their business. But they do it anyway!

"You know what really grinds my gears?"

Hm, probably not. Well, there are a couple of things...

1.) When Aussies claim that they invented Pavlova. Sorry, but the Kiwi's did, end of story. (Plus, let the small population of 4,268,600 have a moment of fame) and anyways, they don't even really know who did but lets still give it to us please

2.) Litterbugs. As if we are not doing enough to our planet already! Seriously it is never that hard to either, find a rubbish bin, or take the rubbish home with you.

3.) Smokers too (no offence to any smokers on the site), they are always dropping there cigarettes! AND THEY ARE SO BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Hence, me using capitals. I mean sure, you can screw up your lungs, but please, leave the environment out of it! Cigarettes can take 18 months to ten years to biodegrade, and meanwhile they probably leak bad toxins into our earth. Nuff said, cause I could go on and on

4.) When someone uses me. Someone who I'm not great friends with, but whenever they need my help with some assignment, they suddenly come to me and act like we are best buds. They also do that when you have good food, like sushi in your lunch eg. "Omg... Em I love you!" pauses and looks at food "Can I have one?" and then I'm like, how I can be nice, and say no...

5.) And I have to agree with Brian... Know it alls can be sooo irratating. Espeically the ones who have an opinion for everything, won't let you have a moment of fame, and buts into all conversations to add their two pence... Infact, a guy who is exactly like that is currently going out with one of my friends. He drives me nuts, but I have to keep it all cool of course, cause I love my friend and I don't wanna hurt her or anything, plus she really likes him. Oh, and neighbours who think everyone loves them, and that they are loved by everyone and all that, also a big pain in the backside.

"And thats what really Grinds my Gears!"
Oh, and please don't think I have anger problems or anything I assure you, I don't. I just know what annoys me... and I have also never really blogged or wrote this all out, so you guys are the lucky ones

You know what really grinds my gears?

You do. No not you, reader... but... "You." You are charming and have made my heart flutter to many times. And then you decide you're leaving work to join the Air Force. Thanks for making it hard to watch you leave.

And that's what really grinds my gears.

You know what really grinds my gears?
Those dumb people who don't care about the environment.
Those people who tease others for no reason at all.
And that's what really grinds my gears.

 

[Sydney Caine]

You know what really grinds my gears?

When people do things for no reason whatsoever and then complain about how they've suffered because of something they did themselves with no excuse to do it. Like, someone saying a small lie or rumor to the person it's about and then, when the person takes it the wrong way, complaining that they didn't mean for it to offend and they thought they were doing the right thing. Now, i don't mind people doing it if the thing they've said is true, or even if there is some way they could benefit. But making something up that is going to get someone annoyed at you and then being upset because they are annoyed at you, well that's just stupid.

And that's what really grinds my gears.

 

[Luthor Silverback]

you know what really grinds my gears?

People who try to use religion as an arguement and don't even know what they are talking about, It's fine if you want to use it as a point however you need to know what your talking about otherwise your just going to end up getting mad when someone calls you out.

And that's what Really Grinds my Gears.

 

[Autumn Rivers]

You know what really grinds my gears?

People who think they are better than you.

People who think that, because they are better than you, they can tell you how much you suck, or what a bad person you are. You are not more righteous or more holy than anyone else, so get off your high horse, and see that you aren't the best thing in the world. The more proud you make yourself out to be, the more stupid you look. Rather humble yourself, and people will then look up to you.

People who don't stand up for what they believe in.

And that's what really grinds my gears.

 

[Grace Raven]

I agree, anyway

What really grinds my gears.
People that say they are you friends so you tell them something important, then they go and broadcast it to the world and make it a joke, then they turn around and try to say that they didn't mean it and that they won't do it again, so you give them a chance and BAM! Instant betrayal.

What also grinds my gears are.

Sympathy seekers, Im not talking about the people who need the sympathy, im talking about the people who say they are not good enough and stuff like that so they can get sympathy off you when they dont deserve it.

And lastly what grinds my gears are.

People who stir a tense situation up and make it worse, those people who act like they are fixing the problem but then go behind everyone's back and bring up something that is really old and was forgotten so they can get a kick out of watching the people fight.
And that is what really grinds my gears.
