For me its more when people overuse "literally" and "apparently", that's what really grinds my gears (not literally, of course).

People offended by profanity. I can't count the number of times some wuss got all offended because I, in a jovial mood, said something that included a "fuck" or a "shit" or a "bitch".

Reading-comprehension, straw-mans, OT counter-arguments: This one is a big one for me. I don't want to be a total dbag, but seriously, I am one smart motherfucker, but its like my posts are invisible or something from the amount people disagree with me. Most people can't even read, let alone comprehend, let alone stay on topic, let alone counter an argument that I actually made. It is the most frustrating thing for me when I post a well-reasoned, well supported comment, and then the entire thread of assholes tells me to stop trolling and proceeds to explain in detail, all the reasons I would be wrong if I was making the arguments they invented. I can even repeat my position 3-4 times, and still have people accusing me of random shit. I started to realize that they are actually too stupid to understand what I am saying. They can't even disagree, because they are literally too dumb to even get to the point where disagreement is an option.


People with an over-inflated sense of self worth grind my gears. They normally aren't as smart as they think they are. People that are genuinely smart but that have no people skills also grind my gears. You'd think geniuses would realise that being well rounded is important and learn some people skills so that they can mingle with the mediocrity that they are surrounded by in a way that creates less friction.

some people are just socially awkward penguins. it's not that easy to all of a sudden become good at dealing with people

Those are literally my two favourite filler words. But apparently it upsets some people.

Some people that wear skinny jeans that are way too tight, and yet still sag down to their knees.

People that whine about balance when they're in low leagues. I'm guilty for this sometimes though, so I guess I grind my own gears?

This. It just gets on your nerves and makes me want to deliver a punch to their heads.

Kids who try to make you throw the first punch in a fight at school.
People who smoke and drink because they think it makes them 'cooler'.
People who feel obligated to donate all their old clothes to Goodwill instead of just throwing them away; soo many times I've caught my mother going through the trash after I just threw away some clothes.
Ricer Cars with over sized mufflers that makes them sound like shit.

Team Liquid needs more Terrans.

FROM: MR. Paul Hollway

A government offical here wants to transfer the sum of ($17.5million).

The Republic of Botswana is formerly a British colony situated in
Southern Africa, nestled between South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The capital of Botswana is Gaborone.

the country is democratically ruled, boasts a growing economy and a stable political environment. Botswana has some of Africa's last great wildernesses including the famous Okavango Swamps and the Kalahari Desert. Botswana is the largest exporter of gemstone diamonds in the world.
The prompting of my mail came after much thought on the country most suitable to invest some personal funds acquired from the federal ministry of finance here which i have decided to invest
Before we proceed I need your assurance that funds in question can be invested without my being implicated as the original owner for security reasons due to my political position and our personality will be fully protected
yours sincerely.

What grinds my gears is when buying something a saleslady/salesman will always say that the shirt/pants/shoes etc looks good on me which I know is false because they just want something to be sold.

I wish you didn't show me that. That wasn't impressive at all. In fact, I thought it was much more difficult, I'm pretty naive to electronic music creation. That's pretty sad. In the end I don't care, I'm a fan of some electronic music mostly dubstep but wow that was kind of pathetic.

I'm a death metal guitarist though who listens to mostly tech death so I'm kind of an elitist I guess. :[


I play the guitar myself and I don't see what's so easy about the video. Have you ever tried it? It's actually pretty difficult. You want to see "unimpressive"? Look at most drummers...

Injustice. Especially done by law enforcement and the legal system. The False Rape Society and the Innocence Project provides disgusting examples of grave injustice that simply enrages me.

It's really fucking disgusting how biased and amateur the police and the courts can be. I mean, convictions based on ZERO evidence, no, not negligible, but ZERO evidence, relying only on uncorroborated testimonies by the accuser? What? Prosecution can block evidence that would clearly exonerate the defendant? WHAT??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

And not just in the United States, unfortunately. That shit spills to us sooner or later.
