What really fcks me off is people who drive in the middle lane on the motorway when they should be sat in the slow lane, then take umbrage when...
A. You undertake to make the point that's where they should be,
B. Brake or give you hand gestures because they have no idea why you're flashing in the first place.
C. Basically cut them off, again trying to make the point that they should be sat in the slow lane and you wouldn't have to have cut them off if they were sat in the right lane in the first place.
About a year ago I was working nights driving, about 3 in the morning I'm driving down the motorway, not another car in sight but see one coming down a slip road, so I pull over into the middle lane, just as I'm getting closer to the slip road they pulled right into the middle lane causing me to have to brake hard and almost causing a serious accident, all because they wanted to sit in the middle lane despite there being no other cars for miles on the motorway.
tonight what really grinds my gears is teenagers who trick or treat and don't even bother to wear a costume, and act like idiots around the little kids.

my neighborhood is huge on halloween, to the point where there is no parking on the streets or entering leaving the neighborhood from 6-8 and police put up barricades to stop people coming in. I forgot this and parked in my driveway instead of down the street outside of the neighborhood and got stuck giving out candy. i lost count but i think i counted up to about 576 kids by around 7. needless to say didnt end up going to anypartied after either
on a plus not I had a family of bannans mom dad and their three kids all dressed as bannanas.

People in South Carolina.
They can't drive, they are racist, obtuse, simple minded and rude.
The more I stay here the more I grind my teeth down like one of these toothless bandits on a meth binge.
Then they elect a governor (I refuse to vote in this state) that can't even get her own finances together let alone run this cash strapped state.
That 'southern hospitality' they told me about up north?
I never found it..... I have never encountered more rude, inconsiderate and stupid people and I am from NYC. Ouch!
My gears are more than 'grinded' - they are stripped bare.
Here is my latest "grind my gears" and it is the way words are pronounced:
1. Where and When as Hwer and Hwen (Yes I know you can say it that way, but c'mon)
2. Coupons as Qpons
3. Probably as probly
4. Coffee as cawfee (and im from Jersey and it STILL bothers me)
5. With as Wit
6. Don't were Doesn't is supposed to be used: He don't know how to drive!
7. Espresso as Expresso! (I'm Italian, TRUST me it is NOT eXpresso!)
8. Ask as Aks
9. Supposedly as supposebly
10. Especially as Expecially

Yeah they are pretty annoying. I never use either one. The worst one for 3 is "proly". ughhhh!
Rant# 46853546 - A customer calls in claiming his internet was not working on his EVO, we fix that by doing a good ol' data restore... I say my closing script and he says he will pass me on the survey if he gets it, then a day later I get an email saying he FAILED me... What was the reason? Apparently his HOTSPOT wasn't working... Now i asked him if I could help him with anything else before hanging up, he said no. Then when me and my Sup listened to the call, even she said I did everything right... but my floor manager says he cant dispute the survey... really? But a week ago you had a meeting with my coworker who I bring to and from work, telling him that he may have to find another ride because my numbers arent appealing to him... YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! My handle time is the lowest on the team, and my billable ratio is the highest on the team... my only real downfall is Issue Resolve BUT if you feel my numbers were so low, why not dispute the failed survey that you KNOW I should've passed to help bring my IR up?
So after all that is said and done, I walk back to my cube and say 'This is some BullSh*t' and guess what? A few hours later i'm getting 'released' for cursing on the call center floor. I'm just pissed about the whole situation. I think his racist ass was out to get me fired from the jump and he finally succeeded. So now I'm back to searching for another job. I have to wait till my last check arrives before I can file for unemployment BUT I really dont want to be sitting at home. UGH! Perhaps I'll go apply at the Sprint Store up the street. With all the crap I know about Sprint Phones, they'd be a fool not to hire me.

Oh man. There is some hell to pay there. I thought the time I built a computer and forgot to order the monitor and heatsink was bad
I have been a crackberry forum user since Aug of 2008. There have always been moderators around there that hate when you back talk and prove them wrong. Well today after 6 months of having in my sig "i don't need to have sex, my government fcks me everyday" same ol douche of a mod sends me a PM telling me that I need to delete it. He only got his panties in a wad because I proved my point that not everyone is seeing the new layout the way it is supposed to be displayed. WTFSTFU!

When you're walking the dog and then a heavy downpour comes right on top of you and you're on the other side of the apartment complex now standing in the freezing rain with an 80lb lab who doesn't like rain.
After having your phone updated to 2.2, having to swype across, down, over, whatever, twice or three times because the lock screen is always so choppy that it doesn't register your gesture the first couple times.
People who use cash or write checks at checkout. Get with the times and use debit/credit cards! It's faster and you can actually get some benefits back.
What grinds my gears? Grows ass men who act like 10 year olds. Here I am trying to explain something to you and you go on a rant because I replied to your post 3 hours later AND because my post is more than 2 sentences. Really? GTF Over it! It aint my fault your Blackberry is power-cycling 10 times in 1 day. You said you were thinking about getting the Evo, I posted a quick rundown on how much better off you'd be with an android and because your brother said to keep the BB to avoid paying the $10 4G Fee I clearly advised him that the fee wasn't specifically for 4G service. Excuse the f*ck out of me for trying to be helpful by clearing things up. Unfortunately some people dont live on Facebook all day and some people have more to say than 10 words that equal a load of bull... SMH. People these days...
OK, this isn't an iPhone rant, but it has to do with them.
So, I got my first android last week, simple enough. I stop at a few stores to check out some cases so I don't have anywhere to set the phone when it's in my truck or at work, i'd rather have it in something besides bouncing around all over.
Of course, every store has tons and tons of cases,Different sizes, colors, shapes. But about 95% of them are literally made for the iPhone. I know it's a popular thing these days, but god, there is other phones. Almost every case I saw that wasn't for an iPhone was for either a small flip phone, and there was 1 or 2 for BB's. Nothing big enough to fit this phone. Most were plenty tall, just not deep enough. I could force it into a couple, but didn't want to do that.
I know I know...."iPhones are popular, what do you expect"....still. The places that are selling the Androids don't even have any kind of cases for them around here. It's pretty lame in reality.
Personally, I don't mind the iPhone, it's ok, a friend of mine's got one, and i'd love to have an iPad, but I can't justify paying so much for the crap. Just like their pc's(and laptops). Just too pricey for what it's worth.
Rant#2: If I see(or hear) that damn iPad commercial again, i'm gonna puke. Every commercial during Sunday's football games had it and it's annoying as hell.
The fact that I've filled out at least 30 applications since I was 'released' from the call center and I haven't had ONE callback. This is ridiculous! This recession is a real b*tch.
I didn't read every reply to see if this was one of them, but mine is seeing a $600 car with $4000 worth of wheels on it and the wheels are sooooooo big the car looks like a cartoon
People who get on the elevator just to go to the next floor
Fun fact and tip for elevator rides across many floors. If you don't want to stop, follow these instructions.
When you first step in the elevator, once everyone is in, hold the door close button. Don't let go. Once the door is closed, press and hold the floor number you want to go to. You must hold both the door close, and floor button. Do not let go, until the elevator starts moving. At that point, let off and enjoy the ride. This is what police officers and firemen do occasionally if the need arises to get where they need to go. Did it in my dad's office building the other day (right at the time everyone goes for lunch, up to the 6th floor) and I didn't have one stop. Going up, nor down. ;D
