Ya know what really grinds my gears?

The "le" craze and rage comics in general!

A bad transmission.

Sometimes mine slips a little in the low gears. Thankfully no grinding.

What grinds my gears is the fact itīs too goddamn easy to declare a company bankrupt here, even when itīs fine.

And what grinds your gears is me nagging about it

Not really- any of us that have been "made redundant" feel what you are feeling- and it is even more so as you LIKED the work.

As to the topic...

Well- my 1966 Mustang used to decide she did not want to be in second gear and would pop herself into neutral.

Later, the linkage would hang between first and second... which could be... interesting.

Still I miss the old girl (sniffle).

People who had really cool cars... ...

...

Reality TV...I hate it...And 'cause we've got satellite there's about seventeen bazillion (*Approx) channels dedicated to the damned stuff...Aaaand guess who loves it?...Yep, the wife...Grrrrr...AAARGH!! and other noises...

Your old carīs gear grinds your gear...?

Posted by: SubRosa May 26 2013, 08:18 PM

Yeah, if I wanted reality, I would just turn off the tv and go outside. Or go to work. I watch movies or use the comp to get away from reality.

Snappy answer. But in truth, wouldn't it be a bad clutch?

Posted by: King Coin May 26 2013, 08:57 PM

I wouldn't know. That would be very annoying and expensive though!

Posted by: treydog May 26 2013, 10:20 PM

I think you are supposed to report that to an adult you trust....? Or is it one of those European football terms? I'm soooo confused....

I think it was the powdered sugar donut I had for lunch...

What grinds my gears is when a show you watch does their season finale and it isn't satisfying at all because there's no closure but you know that when they resume you'll be addicted again.

But what about Deadlisest Catch?

Posted by: McBadgere May 28 2013, 09:38 PM

Deadsleaziest Catch?...

No...None of them...

Her current fave is this one called The Valleys...Think Jersey Shore with less class and Welsh accents...

Posted by: Elisabeth Hollow May 28 2013, 09:44 PM

LESS class?!?!?!:!

This is the man who said the second GI Joe movie was "a lot less highbrow" than the first one...

Posted by: McBadgere May 29 2013, 04:07 AM

I was being ironic... ...

I sometimes forget that ironic to Americans means "Something made of iron"... ...

...

I can't link an advert because it really is awful and hideous...But possibly a youtube search for The Valleys UK might yield something...

Posted by: Kiln May 29 2013, 07:43 AM

Hey!

*Kiln notices truth in this statement for a large portion of his countrymen*

Carry on.

Latest one...

Being constantly reminded by people who I respect and have an immense amount of time for...That my opinions on stuff don't count and are somehow wrong...

Posted by: Darkness Eternal Jun 7 2013, 10:45 PM

Here's one! People who refuse to respect other people's perspective on things and how things should be done. I've encountered these people this week again in real life. Generally, the lack of open-minded people infuriate me.

Posted by: Black Hand Jun 8 2013, 02:13 AM

Yes. These type of people irk me as well.

How ironic that being open-minded and respectful means we most likely will not stoop to their levels...

...some days though...


I forget who said it exactly, and I forget precisely the words were, but to paraphrase to the best of my understanding:

"The problem with the world is that the best are filled with caution and reasonable doubt, and the worst are filled with confidence and self-assurance."

I have a classic example of this. We are working at a house that needs tons of work for a real estate agent. We are going to make it "marketable". Anyway, repainting is a large part of it. Walls and ceilings. So, I am doing the drywall repairs while my business partner is masking off areas that aren't getting painted, namely, the floor. He lays two strips of masking tape along the baseboards and then breaks out the paint and starts painting them.

I'm like, "Dude, why are you getting a paint brush wet before we protect everything? If we protect everything first, we don't have to switch tasks so often."

You would have thought I killed his mother...He started going off about how "we need to make it look like we got something done and that I should worry about what I am doing and not what he's doing".

I just shrugged and went back to what I was doing. 5 minutes later, he was finishing all the protection first, like I suggested. Why the fuss then?

Posted by: McBadgere Jun 8 2013, 03:17 AM

Yes, I agree...Which I think makes my point - in many places - a whole lot more precisely...Thanks DE...



Because - to him - you were telling him what to do...And people don't like that...And once he'd gotten over the knee-jerk reaction and thought about it and actually seen it was a good idea, and realised that he'd been an ass...He did what he should have in the first place...but, of course, will - in a manleh way - completely fail to say that it was anyones, except his, idea...
