What Grinds Your Gears

[coneZONE]

I just really had this thought more or less recently:
Why do people not fcking own up to their mistakes, apologize, and fix the problem?

Is it a "generational" thing, or a thing of this age?
Just fucking own up to it and say sorry. Is it that hard? Embarrassing? Save face? Pride?
Seems to range from indivudual "unknown persons" to well known people.

Also partially why i hate politics. It's all a blame game from party to party, and no one is actually fixing anything

What happened to people's integrity? Sense of righteousness?
It's like human race is degrading day by day. So disappointing

That's been going on since forever unfortunately, this age has nothing to do with it.

[jeedee]

when its your turn to merge in the zipper merge and the cunt bag speeds up to prevent you in

or the F150 asshole who nearly side swipes and takes out your mirror from not letting you in either by speeding up

it's a stale red light with traffic barely moving and you speed up to what? move up 1 inch?

[fliptuner]

People who insist on yelling into their phone when they have a bad signal. Motherfuckers, blowing up my speakers isn't going to make the reception any better!!!

NIS (not in service) bus drivers. Biggest assholes. Cutting in and out and ripping in traffic.

you know what grinds my gears? people walking or running clockwise on a track.

in ladner there is the old horse track. its also an off leash dog parks so great to go for walks or runs with ample space and no social crowding. but 80% of the people who go choose to go clockwise and it makes me look like the cunt for actually following tradition.

track and field, dog racing, horses, flatrack, fucking nascar? have these people never heard of any of them???

echoing of your voice when you're on video call. sounds hella creepy to hear my own voice

My shoe size changed unexpectedly now it’s like most of the shoes I have don’t fit

This is the only acceptable ‘baby on board sign’. It could be clearly identified like a yield or stop sign



Why the fuck does everyone have a thousand different ones and half the time my wife and I are sitting there confused at red lights trying to figure out what it means.

Spoiler!

I could go on all day

The suction cup sign is pretty useless in a vehicle with rear tint. Granted none of them do anything but the wife got these because it's funny.

I have a "Nothing on Board" decal on my SUV. Got it from BCAA. To prevent would be thieves from breaking into the vehicle? I got it because I don't have baby, princess, or prince on board. Never had such a sign - ever. Those signs are right up there with red nose and antlers at Xmas time............ actually, if you had young children, they might think it's cute/cool. Grown ups should think twice before displaying them on a vehicle, but hey, it's a free country.

Because you'll be taking that somewhere at one time or another? Used oil at Burnaby recycling centre on Still Creek. They take used oil and bottles, batteries, propane tanks, paint, cardboard, styrofoam, glass metal plastic, you name it. As long as it doesn't contain hazardous materials, it's all good. The place is located just down the street, or is it up the street, from Willingdon Costco. Between Costco and Lordco NFL.

[PiuYi]

There's one in Richmond on River road too. I just feel if you're gonna collect the enviro fee, then at least accept the used oil that it's for. Ex. batteries at Costco have a $10 core fee, but they'll take your old battery back

Selling shit.

I found someone (through a friend) to take my MTech II bumper for $500 + trade, terms of sale is either he does the work on both cars or he pays $150 to get a shop to do it. Guy gets butthurt that I'm basically lazy (true) and don't want to do the work to sell the part.

I think if I'm selling a part for that cheap, it pretty much doesn't even need to be said that I don't want to do the work. It's a $2K bumper + paint LOL.

Just pissed cause the guy made an accusation about my integrity when he's being a total fucking cunt.

I later found out he got fired from The BMW Store as a lot boy. Go figure.

Doug DeMuro.

I realized why he doesn't know shit about anything pre 2000. He's not that old, he just looks 60.

I’ve watched maybe 2 minutes of one video. Can’t fucking stand him and I’m not the only one. Same as that fucking “shmee” cuck

work trucks parked in the middle of a backalley
you couldn't leave it just 2ft to one side so a car can squeeze by? or put up a detour sign

Fucking useless fucking UPS Jesus fucking Christ. I’m just gonna copy paste what I texted my wife

So I get a call from UPS yesterday that said my package is here and I need to pay $350 or so for duty and their brokerage and I'm not gonna do that so I told the lady on the phone that I'll just clear through customs myself she says no problem will email you all the paperwork that you need and then you can go to customs and when you do all that kind of thing. Just come back with the paperwork and we’ll give you the package. No problem. So I still haven’t gotten the email, so I call today and ask if everything’s good etc. She confirmed my email address and says they won’t send an email, just go get the paperwork in person. No problem, the ups building is close to the cbsa so it only adds maybe 15 minutes. So I get here to UPS and they have me wait outside in the lot because there’s two people being helped already. So I wait 20+ minutes and I see people coming in and out and I walk up there and get mad because I’m sitting in a hot car and you told me you’d come get me. So they let me in. I’m waiting and I’m waiting and I’m waiting and they are super confused. No ones called them. No one has paperwork. No one knows anything. So they investigate and my package is still in California. What the FUCK WHY DID YOU CALL ME?!?! So now I have to fucking waste over an hour of my time today. Then come back WHO KNOWS WHEN to fucking get it again

Edit: and YES tracking says it’s in richmond

Purolator is the only courier that doesn’t consistently fuck up in my experience.

[underscore]

I'll never forget the day I was able to refuse the package and tell UPS to fuck off with their crazy made up fees. It was joyous.

[GIZZ]

I managed to go to CBSA yesterday and pay the tax. UPS then said my 45lbs fibreglass bumper was out for delivery at 2:30pm yesterday, I waited around all day for it and it never showed up. Tracking still says the same thing. Had I known this I would have asked for it to be held at the depot and I'll pick it up. I just know they are going to damage it.
