Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
you know what grinds my gears. Alot of sh!t: cancer, youtube, facebook, highschool, football, friends, family, music, radio being 16, church, summer, pools, stupid stuff, stupid people, Iowa, polititions, spelling, fast food and a bunch of other crap. Why can't people take time out off their busy life to realize how short life is and how being the start football player isn't always the most important thing in the world. sometimes all we need to do is just kick back and relax as we all sit around a fire drinking I don't really care. When are people going to realize that going to church and spacing off is worse then being in creation enjoying what He gave us. and fast food, stupidest invention ever. spelling I can't do it for my life, cancer well it just sucks.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
don't even get me started. even though I am not gay, those people who think they are all cool calling me and other people gay, a homo, a f*ggot, queer ect. pisses me to the point that I have to KICK THIER ASS to get them to stop.EwanRaven wrote:Those guys from high school that think you're gay for some reason, and turned out gay, and still think you're gay because you go around in a dodge charger equiped to do battle with a state police car (Specifically my sister's), listen to the loudest music this planet has to offer, have a wife, banged every girl on the volleyball team in high school, had multiple girl friends, and say "I'm not gay but I don't hate" so many times. Those people grind my gears. >.>
Long story short a buddy of mine from high school came over, wife answered the door and he was surprised.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
The people that state that others are gay are most likely gay themselves. And yea I hate that, no one said that to me in a serious way but kidding yea I say it and other people say it to me yet none of my close friends are gay so thats fine we know its a joke we all have girlfriends and/or engaged/married.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
Gays are essentially the new blacks. Last generation it was the blacks, they spent around two generations fighting for equality. Now it's the gays, and they're in the last leg. No matter what, there will always be hate, but believe it or not, it's not near as bad as it was ages ago.
On another note, when people get all up at me for making a joke about someone gay or something, and yet they think it's okay to laugh at anything else. Ugh, that drives me nuts. If you're going to laugh at one group of people, but not the other, then you're a racist, homophobic, sexist, whatever the hell you wanna call it, douchebag.
Either shove that broom up your ass for everyone, or take it out and leave it out for everyone. It's fine to laugh at this gorup of people, but touch jews, gays, or blacks, and you're gonna be stoned in the town centre.
That grinds my gears

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
There are many gay people in my school and I accept it as much as anyone else but it also gets to the point where you have to say......sir/ma'am, step away please...thank you . That's me and half the kids at my school lol. It grinds my gears that homosexuals are beat up because of it though. That's just not acceptable. Also, the fact that if you need to go to a call and a firefighter steals your keys and doesn't tell you til five minutes of searching lol.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
my feeling on who you wanna date (and such) this also goes for drugs
i don't care what you do to your body your just not doing it to me...if you wanna get drunk or get high fine w.e do it somewhere and don't drive messed up and if you wanna date someone of the same sex w.e it's not like gay people are running around trying to rape people of the same sex or something

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
My golden rules
If you involve someone else negatively, expect to be treated negatively
Applies to everyone. I have 0 problem with homosexuals, but if they're gonna flaunt it, I'm gonna start flaunting my straightness, and if they get like "It's because I'm gay/black/jewish/etc" I'm just going to strangle them til they stop moving
If you expect to be treated decently, don't be a douchebag
self explanitory
If you don't know what you're talking about, shut up, you're wasting time.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
What grinds my gears is that i'm way too nice. I can't even do RIT training well cause I'm not much of a loud speaker. Also, my self confidence is f-ed up so I can't talk to girls without saying something dumb! That's another thing that grinds my gears.

@Hannahan I have almost the same problem lol, I don't throw much crap around at the FS cause I don't wanna affend anyone, it takes me awhile to get to know other peoples humor before I really start to talk alittle more.
text messaging grinds my gears, you never know if the person is serious... also riding in a tow truck (it's fun, but the bill that comes with it is NOT)

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
I honewstly have adapted to texting, it's kinda essential, at least in today's society, so I had to adapt.
And I passed a driving test in a hurricane. After I came back to fill out some paper work for the test, I was told to hurry up, they were closing the entire city it'd gotten that bad, and they were concerned if we stayed any longer, we'd be stuck for good

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
You know what grinds my gears, two words: Fat/drunk people.
I'm sorry, but I'm on vacation and there were these people from Louisiana last night that were crazy. I don't know if they were drunk, but they were lous, dancing, and screaming "Louisiana baby!" until like 11:30 at night.
Another thing that I hate is bad weather on my vacation. It's cold and rainy down here, and everything's outdoors so we can't do anything.

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
Speaking of dating, me and my sister were going through my moms attic again, (For those of you that don't know she passed away in 2006) last time I found a bunch of momentos from a girlfriend that I had from about 12 - 17, this time I found a crap ton of old VHS films and some betamax tapes (If you dun know what beta max is, it was a much better version of VHS but eventually lost out because it was more expensive and, I kid thee not, more used in the porn industry, just google it) I don't have a betamax player anymore, but we start watching the VHS tapes, my dad (Until I was 14, as he died almost right after my 15th birthday) had taped all my dates in that were in the house when we just sat around talking. >: (

VHS Won Because it could hold more video, which means it could hold a full movie, which beta-max couldn't.

Although they were superior, the longer tapes didn't come until later, when VHS had won out, plus... they cost a crap ton and weren't favoured highly in the pornographic market because of the expense, porn helped shape VHS >.>

Re: What just grinds your gears in RL
Yes, Porn was a part of it, but movies were too.For consumers, the most immediately obvious difference between the two formats was the recording length. Standard Betamax tapes lasted 60 minutes — not long enough to record a movie. Conversely, the 3-hour VHS tapes were perfect for recording television programmes and movies. Sony did adapt and offer various solutions for longer recording, but it was too late. The issue of recording time is often cited as the most defining factor in the war.
