It really Grinds My Gears when people spell People as ppl, sk8tr, l8tr, ur, u, and any other internet slang that can just be spelled correctly with 1 or 2 more letters. Seriously were progressing not regressing, It shows alot about one when they use thing slang all through a post

I guess you had it really bad today since you decided to make an account and post about it - but just to be real picky, "alot" is incorrect, you should use "a lot." =P

That's one thing that grinds my gears, deal with your own problems before trying to advice others...
1 thing in particular that grinds my gears, are people who disrespectfully use the term "your mother" in any kind of joke. I am usually a very calm person who rarely get upset but that shit truly makes me angry.

It's called a joke. Grow some skin.

Another thing that grinds my gears, people who think only their "type" of humor is the only "type" of humor.

What grinds my gears are conspiracy theorists. Especially the random guy at work. He's a proud, obnoxious atheist that continually throws his "I'm smarter than you" comments and retorts in my direction, despite me never even attempting to even bring the subject up to him, much less try and "convert" him. This I can deal with, I've seen religious friends of mine be jerks to atheists or followers of other religions, so I can take the same medicine quietly.
But this same guy who is too "logical" and "analytical" for religion, believes every single thing he reads on the internet about anything related to any conspiracy theory. Seriously. Illuminati, Bildeburgers, 9/11 truthisms, MKULTRA, Fed related world controlling, mind and weather control, you name it. I think the only reason he doesn't believe in lizard people is that he hasn't "researched" them yet. And yet he is so history ignorant that he continually asks me names of random presidents, world leaders, war related history, etc. he seriously didn't remember the president of the US during WWII, and yet wants me to believe some random Bildeburger related conspiracy theory he read, related to Stalin and Churchill.

PolSC2, I didnt make my point in the previous post. People who use it when they're being an asshole for example, I can like it in a proper joke no doubt about it (epic comebacks has been done this way) but not when its just disrespectful..

At my old job I was walking through the canteen to the vending machine and overhear a fellow off delivery; 'The thing is the whole Holocaust was just an excuse to declare war on Germany.'

I couldn't resist telling him how amazing it was to me that someone could get so many facts completely wrong in such a short sentence.

Another thing that grinds my gears... blatant disrespect.

I'm sure somewhere in this thread it's been posted but it seriously pisses me off when people post blind/ignorant hate articles about eSports. I mean I guess it's good that it's getting noticed enough to get articles like the CBS article recently but why can't these asshole "journalists" do their job and actually read up on something before forming an opinion on something they are clearly prejudiced against.

I'm sorry to pick on you but it grinds my gears when people complain about spelling and general good-writing discipline when their post is also full of errors.

To add to the list pointed out by others, you want "we're" not "were".

Kids on the internet, especially on skype/vent, that acts like they're fucking boss and they're the best at everything. I especially hate those who are 20 years old and threat ppl like piece of shit because they're better than you. No I don't have down syndrome. I make 40K a year, live on my own and still pwn at this fucking game. You on the other hand live with your mom, don't have a job and play fucking 90h per week.

I also hate Mosquito, it's in the top5 things that I hate the most on this planet, fucking mosquito.

I'm sixteen, and even people in my age post facebook notes "Like this status and I'll rate your looks from 1-10" or maybe "Like this status and i'll write omg u are so.... on your wall"
That really grinds my gears, and something else. Old people that's doing absolutely nothing, just sitting at some café and eating cake all day.
