You know what really grinds my gears.......

Ok so maybe I'm just a weirdo, but there's silly little things that really bug me for no apparent reason - what about the rest of you? Is there any little thing that really annoys you, but probably shouldn't that much?
Ok I'll start:
I hate it when peolpe jiggle their legs up and down when they're sitting down. Some people will do this continually and I HATE IT. There's no logic to my annoyance but it really bugs me.
It also bugs me when women put their make up on on public transport - just wake up earlier if you want to wear it - and don't give people dirty looks when they stare at you.
WRGMG is idiots like the person who papered VW this morning with posts about someone named Justin Fienberg. Not only did the posts make no sense at all and seem to have no purpose, I googled the name out of curiosity only to find that same idiot has pasted the same nonsense all over the Internet.
How is that fun??

I don't think it's people. It's usually computers ("spambots"). Of course there are people behind it, trying to make money. They are removed quickly enough.
OH FINE. you win. sort of.
I always win.
I like the epic battle of 'who has the worst traffic'!
i am going to say that LA wins on the end of consistently bad traffic.
"rush hour" = 2:30-8pm
also, that 405 is unpredictable. sure, it's heavy traffic usually from 7am-8pm, but i've also run into ridiculous traffic there around 1-2am, for no obvious reason.
one time we also found it clear around 4pm on a weekday. we speculated that there was a nuclear fallout, and we were the only survivors... until we got to the 10 east.
One time, my friend and I left South Beach at 5:00 (big mistake) heading to South Miami (10-15 miles) and it took over 2 hours. The Causeway/I-95/US1 mergers are insane!
You could pretty much run that distance in that time! That's ridiculous!

I saw his posts and raised an eyebrow quite high.
I don't get how they make money off it when there is no link or anything...
That's why I think it wasn't your common or garden spambot, just some idiot getting his obscure jollies. No link, no click, no moneys...just stupidity. There are people out there like that. (well, I say "people"...)
What really grinds my gears is that one of my new roommates keeps using my pots and pans (well, pot and pan - singular). The tenants who moved out before me must have taken their cookware with them, and so my single frying pan and pot with matching lid are what we ALL use now. This bugs me... I don't know if I'm just being nit picky/controlling, and if I should just chill out about it.
I have a 35 mile commute that averages over an hour on the highway here in Holland. The average highway speed here is 70 - 75 mph. Why is it freaking taking so long?

If there's more than one person there, they could stump up and buy a few things, instead of just using yours. Let them know you won't be mad if they get some more stuff to use. Particularly if they leave your only pans dirty!
That I freakin' focus the meals that I prepare around other people...no mushrooms, nooch or asparagus , which I love, but he can't eat because it aggravates a med condition and when it is "his" turn to cook, he makes something that I won't eat and says "you make what you want" >:( >:( >:( Tonight is not going to be a good night!

Stop making food around his needs then. Grab your keys and take yourself out to eat hunny!!

what a douche... sorry
Definitely start cooking for yourself. Give him a dose of his own medicine. "Well, I made this, you make whatever you want, there's stuff." And sit down and eat while reading a book. Don't act mad, just like it's not even an issue.
I just got a frickin B in a class where I had an A on every research literature review and quiz and got 86% on the stupid, cumulative final. I really hate when finals have the weight to pull down your final grade when you had an A on everything else. I mean I didn't fail the stupid thing,in fact I was close to getting an Aon it. I know that sounds grade-obsessed but I'm applying to PhD programs this fall and now my stupid GPA is hovering closer to dipping below 3.5...(all my advisors say 3.5 and up.) Whatever there are bigger problems in the world, its just annoying when I busted my ass all stupid semester.

Wow. That sucks. My bf won't cook, period. I guess that would solve your problem! haha.
bgs~
That is crap. Sorry about the B when you obviously worked super hard!

kind of similar, but my boyfriend is picky about some ingredients (no medical reason), and so i often just exclude them or make recipes that don't rely on them. it seems like whenever it's a recipe that would really benefit from peppers & onions (two things he doesn't like) and i exclude them, oh, he's going to make himself ramen/cereal/whatever anyway. damnit, i could have had food i liked!
sometimes i just make food that i like and he'd hate (french onion pie! etc), and tell him he can have his ramen or cereal : )

That is shitty... Ya 1 of my finals pulled my A to a C and I didn't even fail it =/
1. People who don't turn their cells to vibrate in church, movies, or out to dinner with family/friends.
2. Talking on the cell while driving, which by the way is illegal in Cali.
3. People who chew with their mouths open and/or "chank" their gum.
4. People who give their baby back a bottle or pacifier that has fallen on the floor without cleaning it. I mean, eeeeewwww!
5. People who don't cover their mouth when they sneeze or cough.
6. Kids skating through the mall and nearly bowling me over in the process.
7. Those that choose to let their dog poop on someone else's property and not clean it up.
Boy, don't I sound cheery, lol! I think I better be quiet now. :-X
