Since like late high school, I've always been racist against overly animated fat black women who push you in the hall way and say "Scuse chu!" That pisses me off so much, and then I see the same people haven't changed when I go around town. Most black people are cool, cept them. >.>

Raven, so true. I don't know why, but they like to be fat and have HUGE purses. We have this black kid in 5th grade and he did long jump for track...and let me tell you...he DID NOT have black hops lol! He only jumped like 7 feet compared to the 13 and 14 that I jumped.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
Hey Cresslar, our rigs here have EQ2Bs, but they sound just like regular Qs, seriously. You can't tell the difference, just by the pattern of the siren.
One thing: Racism. I mean it wasn't towards me, but yesterday, me and three friends went on a bike ride. We went to Walgreens and bought some Mountain Dew. When we were checking out, the guy at the register said "BYE!" to all of us, but "Adios!" to my Mexican friend. Right when we walk out, my friend's like, "Guys, did you notice that he said adios to me and I'm Mexican?!" I wasn't bad, but it was hilarious!

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
I agree with Beard on everything,
The only diferance between CAREER and VOLLY firefighters is some make CAREER out of as some do it VOLUNTARILY... all in the name , going to the high school tonight for a drill, three cars pulled over for us.. I was like WTF as I was waving lol. And I don't like qs on small apparatus... it drives me crazy, also Mech sirens are the true heritage of the fire department so lets celebrate that heritage ehh?

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
This is more of an obnoxious annoyance but i just noticed it again in a movie I was watching I know it's a movie so half the crap isn't real but the point is i hate when there is a fire or a crash in a movie and the fire trucks are on scene in like 10 seconds like they were already in the trucks sitting around the bend it sets unrealistic ideals in peoples heads....again it's a movie so they do that a lot haha just a statement

Yeah, like a crash happens and right when someone sees it, you hear sirens and emergency vehicles start pulling up onscene. But still, it's a movie.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
haha, I'd like to see that. I was watching eagle eye and saw firetrucks responding to the bank fire alarm a little too quickly. Even my parents thought that was fake lol. I did see a hallmark movie (don't judge me!!!!) where a guy lost his family in a car crash and it showed the firefighters pulling hose and everything. Pretty accurate in opinion.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
I was watching a show on dish, can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but they were a border town with Mexico. They arrested a truck load of immigrants and each on said they spent upwards of 10,000 dollars (i think it was) to rife in the trunk of a car to get over here. Now you can't tell me it wouldn't have been worth that 10,000 + to come here legaly and not get deported.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
People grind my gears. Just people in general. I may sound like an ass saying this, but if there's somebody I don't know, there's no reason for me to like them. Again, I sound like even more of an ass saying this, but people in a way kind of have to prove themselves for me to be friends with them or like them.
My favorite quote fits me very well:
"I'm an Asshole, and I'm proud of it." -Denis Leary
I should get a shirt or hat or bumper sticker or something that says that. lol
Oh yeah, Soccer Moms also grind my gears, and my town in full of them. These short ladies driving huge SUVs, that must have bought their driver's license on ebay or won it in a contest, and constantly on their cell phone while driving. Just an accident waiting to happen....

Bold is the civilian.. Non bold is what I wish I said, but was not allowed to
*At a fire doing crowd/traffic control*
"What's going on?"
"The fire department got rowdy and decided to have a party, and boy are they rowdy, hell look at the lights on their truck."
*With a paramedic buddy on lunch in the ambulance*
"Hey dudes, can I have some of the drugs?"
"Yes, sure, that's what we're here for, drug dealing"
*same guy later on*
"So do you like save people's lives or something?"
"No actually, this is all a clever guise. My wife owns a funeral home, so I make sure they die, and we get another visitor to the parlor"
*On the side of the road parked in a patrolcar, when hailed out of it*
"Hey, you're the fire department right?"
"Yes, note the gun on my waist, they're new standard issue, turns out shooting fire is better than extinguishing it, oh and the POLICE on the side of my car (it's about 4 feet long and 2 feet tall in big blue florescent letters) that's actaully just a clever disguise so I don't get a parking ticket"
*Not me, a buddy of mine on the Tactical Team after a high risk warrant for a guy owning multiple illegal fireams*
"I ain't done nothing wrong, those are all legal"
"Yes, completely, that's why the SWAT team broke down your door at two in the morning. Oh you're right, those guns are all fine to own, hell, I was wondering why yours didn't have the bazooka attachment. I'll get those handcuffs for you now and return your weapons"
And my favourite, I'm a sick bastard I know
"What's the worst thing you've ever seen?"
"It's a tie actually, there was this one murder, oh god, she was chopped up, and in a suit case, then of course, the children that found the half rotten body in a bag of it's own blood was pretty bad too, OH yeah, and it's competitor, there was this one druggie, he got really high, thought he could fly, anyways, he jumped off the cliffed and hit the rocks on the way down, his body, well what was left of it was in great condition, if you just removed the exposed bone, and cleaned off the layer of blood, he looked like he just got hit in dodgeball. The cliff was bad, we found a leg, two fingers, and a huge amount of blood, who knew someone could bleed so much? Well I guess the brain matter and squished organs added to it, I mean it all turns red when it gets that badly beaten"
*He then turned and walked away mortified... *

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
hahahahaha burke thats awesome. I have a little nasty story for you:
A friend of mine is a city cop here and he told me this story
He got dispatched to a call of a homeless man sleeping next to low income housing projects, so he shows up and investigates. He found the guy and found him totally dehydrated so he called EMS and the guy then complained about not being able to stand, so he checks it out and his legs were purple both of them and not to mention that was caused by maggets that were all over his legs, eating his flesh.....
Nice story ehhh?
