Do you know what really grinds my gears?

Peaseblossom55 · January 2013

When people at work use the terms "get this squared away" & "circle back to me". It makes me want to kick someone in the teeth. Anyways rant over.

What really grinds your gears?

Weezy56 · January 2013

When I'm getting ready to get off an elevator and the doors open there is someone waiting to get on standing right in front of the door all up in my face. You're supposed to let the people get off before you get on!

I also hate the word "moist". It grosses me out. Weird, I know : )

peekaboo2011 · January 2013

My old boss does this weird breathing/gasping thing through his teeth. It makes me want to punch him in the face.

Okay, I thought I was the only one. I HATE that word.

It grinds my gears when my co-workers have an attitude for no reason. I'm asking people questions related to their job and they get mad at me. I want to do my job too so stop making it difficult.

Weezy56 · January 2013

I made the mistake of telling my co workers that, and now they make it a point to use that word as much as possible just to get a rise out of me. lol.

I heard it's really common for women to hate the word "moist".

I hate the phrase "when you know you know." I think people use it as an excuse to make rash, irresponsible decisions.

Also, I can't stand the sound of people chewing! It drives me absolutely insane.

I really don't like that word either! My friends in high school used to say it around me all the time because they knew how much it grossed me out.

What really grinds my gears is when I'm in the movies and I have chatty kathy behind me and they feel the need to comment to their friend beside them about every single part of the movie. It drives me insane!

<div>THIS. For some reason it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I used to be able to somewhat tolerate it, and now I go from "la la la" to "OMG WTF IS THAT NOISE WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"</div>

The guy next to me drinks several cups of coffee throughout the day and sluuuuurps every time.

Weezy56 · January 2013

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Any person I have ever told that too has acted like it was the strangest thing to be grossed out by

buddysmom80 · January 2013

We are converting to a new financial/medical record system. EVERY TIME we have a question the answer is "that's a workflow decision". WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?????

Mind you I have to work "live" on this system Saturday. I will be KUI Saturday night.

melmac86 · January 2013

I really dislike when people use the word "daddy" in all seriousness when talking to/about their dad. It weirds me out. That should've ended at like age 9, IMO.

This was actually on my facebook feed this morning:)

These threads. I read all the things people hate and thing Man no wonder people don't like me.

lovelyheather · January 2013

When I was grocery shopping on Sunday I noticed several people doing there shopping with headphones on. Maybe it is just me, but I find that really weird and sort of rude. What if they are blocking an aisle, how am I supposed to say "pardon me?" I'm not exactly sure why but this really bothered me.

People and their etiquette at the grocery store drive me bonkers in general. FI and I avoid it like the plague because of it. I actually order my groceries from an online delivery service just so I don't have to deal with anyone.

Although, FSIL got us a Costco gift card for the holidays. It means I might actually have to brave the masses and step foot in the store. Scary.

buddysmom80 · January 2013

I have to add another one. Loud sneezers. My mother is one. The woman the next office over is one. It sounds like a gorilla being raped.

Also mouth breathers when you're not sick.

And people who eat loudly like smacking lips and everything.

Good lord I'm a b-tch!

Smooch711 · January 2013

I work in customer service (like with a counter) and I HATE it when I'm waiting on someone and another customer walks in and stands not behind them, but next to them. It's so rude in my opinion. I hate it. I never say anything, but Argh!

And this is me everday (sometimes twice a day): I can't stand it when I'm making a right turn off an interstate and the car behind me stays behind me even when he can get in the other lane, pass me, and go quite faster. Why on Earth do they stay behind you???? It makes NO SENSE to me, whatsoever.

Rant over.

YES!!!!

I worked with a woman who had a deviated septum and never got it fixed and she was constantly snorting/clearing her throat/dry heaving/throat gurgling. It was so annoying because she could get it fixed but never wanted to. We knew when she was in the office because the way her cubicle was we could hear her before we saw her.
