You know what really grinds my gears? People who suck at eBay. Like most people, I like getting good deals on shit, so I'll go to eBay and see what I can find. It always makes me rage when I see an item with bids on it that still has a substantial amount of time to go (like more than an hour) because there's seriously no fucking point in bidding on anything well before the auction ends. All you're doing is driving the price up for yourself and other bidders. If people were just smart enough to wait until the last few minutes to start bidding on something, it'd be better for every buyer on eBay.

It's called game theory

people, or rather, the attitude coming from people who think they are superior and act as such despite not knowing the people they're dealing with

-the OP of 6 years ago apparently fits under that

and what's wrong with people who don't look like you or your immediate friends? what's so ugly?

one of the only things i can't stand for is bullying

At the restaurant I work at, we have a brunch buffet on Sundays. I'm in charge of making sure the line is full of food. Sometimes, we briefly run out of a certain item. People then ask, "Are you bringing out any more _____?" and I have to politely respond that it will be out shortly. Really? It's a buffet. Do you think we don't refill the line? Actually, we put one serving of each item out at 10am and that's all you get. Go fuck yourself. Some people are worse and they just look at you and point to the item that is gone, implying I can't do my job. That really grinds my gears. People need moar common sense.

Well that's awefully odd because there isn't a word called "alot" in the English language

I really dislike people who love birthdays. Like whoop-di-doo you survived another year, gz. So then i have to buy presents and spend my entire day at your party. I have a pretty big family so there are ALOT of birthdays to be had, it's a giant waste of time. And i hate when they insist on us singing songs and getting cakes, it's so, idk, artificial. At least celebrate something real, not just that you managed to live another year, why is that so special? How does that deserve an entire day dedicated to you? sigh...

I wonder how much time people spend annually on birthdays. Maybe if we decided to just not have them we could save so much time that could go to more important things. I spend probably at least 10 days every year going to birthdays, the entire day. That means that in my whole life, i'll have spent like 2 years just watching you get cake your face and sing a retarded song, what a waste.

I also dislike people who love Christmas. Mostly for the same reason. Christmas is fun for like the first day of October or whenever it starts, after that it's just boring and annoying.

Terrible, terrible spelling grinds my gears like no other.

Example: OMG COLLOSI OP BLAH BLAH *rants onward*

Correction. Colossi. Plural of Colossus.

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.

What really grinds my gears is when some people think their opinion matters ^.^
