What Grinds Your Gears

[boostedcivic]

People who pay for 20+ dollar bills with small loose change at a cashier and ends up taking them half hour to pay. Guess I should just expect that going to Walmart.

tl;dr it's not a "custom build" it's a car or bike with a few aftermarket parts.

Technically anything is a custom build once it's modified from the stock configuration...

I guess you're right, but hopefully you get the point I was trying to make.

I somewhat disagree.. BUT if they buy it built and claim and flaunt they did all the work or pay someone else to build it for them and say "built not bought" that pisses me off.. then they even have the nerve to try and tell you what to do to your car. fuck those people.

[denham]

Haha. I see what you're saying.

All I'm really trying to say is that when someone says "custom car" that this does not immediately spring to mind...

[Godzira]

I really hate being told what I "have to do" to my car. I have my list of things I want done and they're getting done in a certain order. No I don't need to lower it or fix my paint scratches or get a body kit and carbon fiber shit. Fuck off. Worry about your own mods.

when i have to sit thru a god damn dinner with people who hate their job more than anything and don't shut up about how shitty their lives are because of it. Figure it out and quit telling me about it.....

mind you they probably are talking shit about how car guys turn off the radio and crack a window every time we see something worth while

You know what really grinds my gears?

1. The chairs at Starbucks are so fucking loud to pull away from the table. It's 8 am and we all just fucking woke up. We don't need this nails on a chalkboard shit.

2. People who speed in the middle of a city (100+) because I guess they are late for work. Who gives a toss if you're a bit late. Speeding won't make a difference.

3. Taking two scoops of pre workout, having a great shred session then getting home at 3am wired as fuck. Then making decisions like insuring my bike on a sleepless mind (which I'm doing as we speak)

Edit: move #3 to the pro column

Speaking of things that grind my gears ^

Sitting in front of some loudmouthed dickhead from "Grand" Prairie with a wicked case of short man syndrome who spends the entire goddamn 8am flight hitting the back of my seat and bragging to his friend about his expensive homes and friends with kids who work on Vegas shows and are being recruited to write for Vogue or some shit. Then he implied Grand Shithole is better than the Okanagan because his place in Sicamous or some shit gets too much sunshine so it's hard to keep the grass nice. I get that people have different preferences but if you're really bitching about too much fucking sunshine you can fuck off.

By the end of the flight everyone around this asshole looked like they wanted to punch him in the face, I was seriously tempted but I wanted to get to sleep in my own bed after a 17 hour day of working and driving followed by 3 hours sleep.

At work, an older man found a roll of stamps outside that someone left in their buggie (think they are like 80+ bucks). He then came into the store and tried to return them for money. Tried to explain to him that not only did you NOT buy these and they are NOT yours, you are trying to return them for a big chunk of money???

He said all of this straight faced, it was impressive. I told him no way, but he kept saying that "he was a good honest member therefore he DESERVES something from my work as a prize". I told him that I will keep the stamps and if in 90 days no one claims them, the stamps will go to him.

Started making a scene so my manager gave him a $10 cash card. Fuck man, some people.

[ironheader]

People that buy a car tuned up, and then claim they built it.

Same here. Drives me nuts.

Could be worse.. at least you get more sleep in the AM. Takes me an hour each way to the office. I've been doing this commute for 14 years.

When ignorant idealists post dumb shit on social media about how telling women to defend themselves is somehow "supportive of rape culture".

Does locking my door at night support "robbery culture"?

Does installing an alarm on my truck support "theft culture"?

Rape should not exist. It is abhorrent and downright disgusting, and I believe that those found to be guilty of committing rape should be subject to very harsh punishments.

But I also recognize the world isn't perfect. It is, in fact, a pretty shitty fucking place where opportunistic bad people will do what they will to vulnerable people. Regardless of a rape, auto theft, or robbery.

We have been punishing thieves for the better part of 6000 years using some pretty brutal shit. The "wheel", crucifixion, drawing and quartering (google these if you dare) have all been utilized countless times, but guess what?

Theft still exists.

Bad people will always exist. The only way you can stop being a victim is to minimize the threat by defending yourself, either by using the "buddy system" when walking alone late at night, having a friend/family member pick you up from bars/clubs, and/or carrying mace - or even a knife - on your person if need be.

I could care less if people accuse me of promoting "rape culture" - all I know is that my mom, my aunts, my nieces, and my girlfriend are more likely to get home safe if they have some protection. The world is a shitty place and I would rather not depend on the goodness of other people's hearts to make it through safely.

People.

Simple as that.

"potato pics" "cellphone pic" "sorry for the potato" every time someone posts a pic that isn't from a DSLR. I'm pretty sure we can sort out that the quality isn't the best on our own.
