Poor you kiz. I remember when i was a kid we headed off for out summer hols in wexford. We'd only gotten as far as south dublin When the blasted thing came to a halt. Stupid nissan dastun! When we eventually got it back working again my dad turned around and headed home. Stopped at my sisters old apartment for a few hours. She convinced him to try towards wexford again, which we did and some how made it. That was the summer we almost didnt have a holiday!

If anyone has seen Family Guy you already know what this thread is about. If not.... feel free to get out todays stress with a little rant about something that really "grinds your gears."
Im pretty happy today so ill just wait and watch
When skin grows on my pudding or mushroom soup.
When I'm waiting for a call and my roomate's dad stays on the phone for two hours.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
People pounding on my dorm room door at absurd hours of the night so I'm too scared to go to sleep! Ooh, and the night someone broke all the light bulbs in my floor all over the lounge right outside my room. That was a fun night too.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
People saying, acting and doing stupid things just for the sake of being stupid. That in turn makes them annoying, irritating and frustrating.
Also, people who completely forget how to drive in snow. I can't even let it go with the first snowfall. But, for the sake of this post, let's say people actually DO "forget". Why, when we have gotten SO much snow this winter do they STILL not have the tiniest bit of memory of how to drive??? You'd think they'd get used to it by now!
People who can't shut up. I need to be somewhere isolated.
"Get thee to a nunnery."
I hate it when people snap their gum, especially if I am sitting next to them on a bus. I'll admit I snap my gum as well but only when I am by myself.
As to LadyWentworth's comment abt people forgetting how to drive in snow, how abt the people that forget how to drive when its raining out?
What Are You Crazy!!!
People who turn the volume down on my computer 'cause they hate DEVO. Jehovah witnesses showing up at my door on Sunday at 6 am. Stupid people, people who can't shut up, boring people too. people. Concerned people putting pieces of meat on my lovingly prepared all vegetarian food, c'mon man, not cool!
Shall these bones live?
I'm 14, She's 14, He's 15, She went out with him, He made her cry almost every night, He had sex with another girl, I love her. She still loves him.
THAT'S WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS!

WHEN PEOPLE SNEEZE.
Ahem. I'm sorry...
I don't mind just ONE sneeze, covered by a hand.
However, when people are careless enough to fire their germs at me and/or do this about 8 times in a row - I could scream.
It makes me want to puke

I get annoyed when people demonstrate a significant lack of:
A) Classical manners of behaviour.
You do not need to open door to me every time or insist that when in the group of people we go out only guys pay for the drinks everybody had - though it is certainly nice- nor do you have to demonstrate you know all the rules of gentleman's or lady's behaviour, but you do need to respect some of those. I do not show it openly, again because I am raised in accordance with those same norms, but I do get upset over those things.
You cannot not pay attention to how you eat in a restaurant, you cannot not to look in people's eyes when you talk to them, you cannot interrupt another person speaking, you cannot walk around behaving like an idiot, or you sink down in my eyes; sorry, some basics are to be respected.
B) Classical manners of speech.
Same as the above; you do not need to speak in hexameters, but do care to make coherent full sentences and to minimise the use of vulgarism in your language - speaking like a person who never read a book or typing lyk dis definitely grinds my gears, even if I will not mention it.
C) General knowledge.
Of course that nobody is omniscent, but some things are just assumed to be known by an educated individual. And even if it happens that you do not know some crucial things, do for the sake of your own image hide that fact and quickly change the discourse, because there is nothing worse than "Voltaire, who?" in the midst of conversation, especially if in larger company and in public.

If we asked those people they will answer with the same word too
"(PEOPLE)" .
For me , I hate to see some one talking badly about another one while his\her absence , and when that one came , he\she starts praising after insulting. He\She is hypocrit .
