Even them my gears are ground so to speak because if we consider how much we care about something as a linear scale, there is no reason not to allow negative numbers. Affirmative caring and negative caring can exist for almost any issue. So to say that you couldn't care less implies that your care level is actually negative infinity, which is not what people actually mean most of the time. A better idiom would be "Jolly good sir, I could not be more indifferent."

Secondly when game developers screw up the most basic things. Example Stalker Clear sky you can upgrade shotty's to have a rifled barrel but then you can't fire shot, even though a real shotgun can shoot both out of a rifled barrel. | ||

At taekwondo I sit down for a long time, stand back up, and several people are looking at that wet bum crack-shaped patch on the floor and sniggering. Also, at school, I hate it when the teacher chooses some retarded kid who can't read for shit and can't pronounce "difficult" or "Federation". Yeah, that really grinds my gears. I also hate how people fake being nice, particularly celebrities shaking the hand of some poor half-starved African kid while smiling for the camera, the sun reflecting off their immaculate white teeth. And most journalists grind my gears. Self-explanatory. What grinds your gears? Everything you have listed here, plus.. People who believe the first thing they are told Stubborn people who are incorrect abou something | ||

Spelling of colossus. C-O-L-O-S-S-U-S. Nowhere do you see two L's lined up together like twins. Every person in the Starcraft 2 community brags on about their intelligence, and they can't even spell words properly. /rant Other things that grind my gears are cheesers, religious people (Westboro Baptist Church is an extreme example), and dirty laundry. afaik colossi isn't the plural of colossus if you're following latin grammar rules but whatever. | ||

2 things: 1. you said one thing, but posted a pic that shows why you "could care less" 2. if I don't care at all then i "couldn't care less" thus the phrase rings true. ---- to put it confusingly there is none less than none! What grinds my gears? - - - the Idea of Santa Claus... i mean the fact that we let children think that a jolly fat man comes from nowhere and gives them stuff, usually expensive stuff, does not help to teach them one of the most valuable lessons they will learn in life: Stuff is not free. I want my kids to know that i worked hard to get them the stuff that is under the tree. not that a random guy just gave them stuff... | ||

People say "i could care less" when they dont care about something. Its wrong thats what i was saying. If you dont understand the pic thats fine | ||

well, what really annoys me is middle class mums in coffee shops, honestly all they do is talk in coffee shops (they have no job of course, "full time mum" even though most have kids who are 17+) about crap they don't even care about, only to gain favor with the other mums. It just drives me crazy. What also annoys me is people who treat disabled/handicapped people way too nice and always going out of their way to help them and agreeing with them. Why? as what they are doing is segregating the disabled by being overly nice and CONSTANTLY asking about the cause of disability. Treat them like other human beings. what also gets me pissed are when people do that thing where they make it sound like they are complementing you but they are actually complementing themselves, for example "you did really well" to someone who just lost to you at something (unless they are justified eg. chess grand master) or "finally someone who is as intelligent as me". the words "jizz" and "sauce" really make me go crazy and finally the most infuriating thing is probably you-tube comments, shit like "like this if you think terran is OP" or some random flame wars with people that literally have an IQ of zero. WHAT VALUE DOES A LIKE ON YOUR COMMENT GET YOU!! I see no value, and the people that vote you up are usually mindless twattish 5 year olds anyway. | ||
