You know what really pisses me off? Those stupid chain letters in facebook. The latest one I saw went something like "People want things like iphones, cars and ipods, but a person with cancer only wants one thing... to survive. I know most of my friends will think "they are too cool" to repost this, but I know my real friends will".

First of all, unless you're actually donating to a charity that supports cancer research (or whatever the next facebook chain letter is bitching about), or actually working on a cure for cancer yourself, stop acting like you're so damn superior just because you took five seconds to copy and paste some pointless message on facebook.

Second of all, I am really getting sick of the whole "if you don't repost this stupid message, you are not a real friend".

Finally, wanting something is human nature. It doesn't matter if someone has cancer; I'd be willing to bet money they'd want things other than to survive. They'd want to survive so they could experience other things. Honestly, there is no point in living if you want absolutely nothing. So, people who post these facebook chain letters, get off your high horse and cram a sock in your mouth!
YES!!! This a thousand times. This really, REALLY grinds my gears

Pretty much with my family like-

Telling me how to live out my life (I don't give a danm that I'm anti-social that who I am and proud of it!).
Criticize me for being unable to find a job.
They say I should learn to speak Chinese properly. (Why should I learn when they always counted on me to speak to a English person during a customer quries call?)
They don't close their bedroom door properly so I get woken up easily when they talk, get up in the morning or going to the bathroom (I'm not a heavy sleeper).
And keep asking me on how to use the bloody mobile phone! (I lost the amount of times they had asked me that due to their forgetfulness).

People who complain about the phrase 'I could care less'.

For starters, it does actually make sense, in an odd way. It helps if you say it in the right tone of voice, like 'well, I suppose I could care less'. It implies you care very little. And also, why pick on it? There are hundreds of batshit insane expressions in English that make far less sense than it, and it's frankly worse than the usual grammar nazism when people pick up on the phrase. It's just irritating and pedantic.

Right now; at this moment in time is the new Catwoman costume for 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
It's such a bland, and unoriginal costume. I am so disappointed. Catwoman's supposed to be sexy, not frumpy, and to me that costume is ho-hum at best.
See for yourself.

Right now, people who respond with "in your opinion" when they don?t agree with you. No shit, Sherlock. Of course it is my opinion. Almost everything that comes out of my mouth is my opinion. Do need to state that every time I say something?
On a similar vein if your discussing something you don?t like and someone(who probably dose like it) comes in and calls everyone whiners or goes on about how pointless it is to talk about it. We are only allowed to discuss things we like now? You can only shoot praise at a game and should never mention the things that you didn?t like about it?

A 50-year women who goes to my collage.She is hateful,acts superior,starts petty shit, asks idiotic questions and acts like she's still in high school.To top it off she refused to have anything to do with us and claimed she wasn't coming back for the bachelors program.Then she strolls in Monday morning like the cock of the walk.

As a more general gear grind,people who think their superior and talk down to me.

A minor one, I have to wait till march to get volume 5 of Usagi Drop and ungodly longer for volumes 6-9.


Also those stories people post on facebook about the brave little Christian standing up to the big mean atheist by way of some idiotic one liner.

Teacher: Can you see God? Class: No. Teacher: Can you touch God? Class: No. Teacher: Then there isn`t a God! Student: Sir, can you see your brain? Teacher: No. Student: Can you touch your brain? Teacher: No. Student: Oh ok so you have no brain?

What grinds my gears:
People have no self-responsibility anymore.
Example 1: "I beat my kid up everyday and then he shot me. I blame the video games"
Example 2: "I have this skimpy, slutty outfit I love to wear all the time in public" *get lot of looks few hours later* "all men are pigs, pigs I say! Oh, god they are going to attack me.", the next day she wears the same slutty style.
Example 3: "I going to jump into cars and sue drivers for money! Best Idea I ever had!"

You know what really grinds my gears?

When I text someone that I'm going to bed, then I get in the bed and doze off, then 30 minutes later they wake me up by texting back to say "Okay".

Did I really need your sodding approval? NO.

I don't even bother going into those threads anymore.
People who whine about "Am I the only one..." threads.

It's a figure of speech. Quit over reacting about it.

When people get judged for being a member of a group instead of for who they are.
Nazis, KKK, Taliban... just saying
Germans, Southerners, Muslims is more accurate if you're talking about stereotyping...
I meant you can't really redeem them if they're in those groups

I hate athiests who have superiority complex. I don't mind if you don't believe in god but don't be a jerk about it.

Edit: If you say you don't like christians and don't qualify the statement I consider you to be a nazi because it is the same as saying you hate Jews or blacks.
