You know what grinds my gears? People that chew when they eat. Is it so hard to just eat with your mouth closed and not sound like you're beating a seal with a club? Argh. People that wonder into conversations half way and demand to be briefed on every nuance of said conversation. How about shutting up and trying to listen to what is been said and find out that way instead of stopping everyone else for your convenience? Argh. My big pet hate (and a lot of my friends do this): inviting yourself to things. Anything. For instance, if i've organised something with a person and a friend overhears us doing this, they'll ask to be invited knowing they're not exactly going to be told no. Surely you'd feel uncomfortable? Well of course these annoying people wouldn't. Argh. When i'm listening to a song on the radio or something and a person will sing throughout the entire song. As much as i hate Mika, i hate hearing you sing bum notes for 3 minutes even more! Argh. Every teenager in my age bracket that i know (and i do mean everyone) listing Lost in Translation or Donnie Darko as their favourite films just for the sake of looking cool. When asked why they like it; i never get a decent answer. Argh. People that can't grasp the difference between their/there/they're. Everyone now and again is of course ok, but for repeat offenders it's just wilful stupidity. Argh. Feminists grind all my gears in all the worst possible ways. Never met one i haven't wanted to murder. Argh. What grinds your gears Thunderbolt?
is it ok to sing to myself badly in the car? i've found myself singing very loudly and out of tune in a number of traffic jams with a few people watching me. The thing is i never see anybody else singing in cars. What annoys me are people that insist on doing 10mph under the speed limit tractors/buses/lorries pulling out before you people who take no responsibilty forthemselves. I was at uni the otehr day and a girls going on a 6 month trip to asia. but to fund it shes remortaging her house, she's 21 FFS. people who think they're better than me...and people that don't know i'm better than them food that has garlic in just for the sake of it
I love Donnie Darko - a sequel's being made. It's such a great film that's totally open to interpretation. Grinds me: Religious people who try to put their views across as undeniable. People who sponge of the Government. Apathy of the average voter. Intelligence of the average voter.
Oooh, another one! People that drive slowly on the outside lane of a motorway, seriously, what in the hell? I don't even drive and this annoys me beyond recognition.
I hate it when i notice that i've made stupid grammatical mistakes like that. It only happens when i'm typing, though. Never when writing. Bah!
When I'm trying to listen to summit on the tv, and someone will talk over it, they say nothing of worth obviously. They tend to do it multiple times, and also at the most important part of the sentence/paragraph that the telly man is saying. Rude uncivil people. When my mates swear loud and stuff in public, normally exactly when some old dear is tottering past, or infront of someones kids. I always tell 'em to stfu. I just think they probably don't wanna hear that language. Jeeez I sound like an old fart.
No, you sound like a nice person. I agree with all that you said there. People spitting on the ground for no other reason that looking cool absolutely disgusts me.
People that have botox injections to feel so much better about themselves. I've never seen the attraction of people that look like they're having a mild stroke on the dance floor. Those that trip when walking, and try to cover it up by jogging on a bit. Also, when a guy at the cinema walks in with two girls, sit between them, then halfway through the film yawns and stretches his arms out, only to come down around both girls shoulders. It's an old trick, we all know you're gay, and it looks crap. Girls that judge a guy's sexual skills by how well he dances in the club. Guys that can dance are gay - FACT. People that think I'm playing a little guitar - it's a UKULELE you idiots!
Football fans For example Manchester United have recently proven that they are the best team in the UK. The entire point of the 8 month long tournament was to determine which is the best team in the UK. Now it has, so football fans quit claiming another team is better. Chavs Why the hell do they tuck their Adidas trousers into their socks? Why? Seriously, do they think it looks cool?
*England. And no, they won't. The entire point of football is to ram it down the throats of the rivals until you either beat them again to sing about it more, or get beaten by then in a revengeful match after which you claim that their singing and dancing about said result is way over the top and that you'll beat them next time.
People who love to fit the generic stereotype Okay, you think Jared Lehto and that wanker from Hadouken! look cool, so blatently you have to try and look exactly like them, gay yourself up and generally become so generic and boring as a person, just because you like a few songs. People who lie about stupid little things for NO reason One of my 'mates' does this all the time, says one thing to one person then something totally different to another in order to try and cause a minor conflict. We all twigged onto it a while back and have been turning it back on him since. People who can't handle their drink So you know you get absolutely wasted off your face when you drink more than X pints, so what to do? Ten-second downs of Jagermeister! Then go hyper, over dramatic and try and look like the 'cool funny guy', then not remember any of it. People who say they hate school Then plan on going to sixth form. I mean, if you hate it that much then why are you signing yourself up for two years more, two years more intense studying than you have ever done before? Yes, school annoys sometime, but I don't believe the majority genuinely dislike it. People who take hundreds of pictures of themselves on social network sites Then comment on every. Single. One. Saying "Oooh i look so fat" or "what a meff!" Just a few.
Nothing grinds my gears more as a political scientist than someone who uses the term "feminist" so generically as to completely alienate every single person who believes in equality for women. There is much more to "feminism" than being a crazy man-hating lesbian, despite what popular television shows have convinced you to believe.
The girl I just had all over my bed/body saying she had a boyfriend and wanted to keep it quiet, *sigh*.
What other term do you want me to use for a group of people that actually refer to themselves as feminist? I know a good 10 of them and they're all miserable, cynical gits. And i don't call any woman that believes in equality for women as a feminist... how about Radical Feminists then?
i have a ukulele, cant play the damn thing, the Johnson family is widely known for it's lack of musical ability.
