What really grinds my gears!
 

You know what really grinds my gears?
Gum spitters...

Second [gear]?

I can say Penis & Cock, but I can't say ****
I can certainly talk some serious shit tho....
You know, my Dad's name was **** too

Still grinds my gears a little...

people who try hard to be funny

people who think theyre a badass but arent.

customers who don't tip their drivers
customers who don't know what everyone wants BEFORE calling to place an order
customers who put me on hold while trying to place an order. (btw, i hang up on them)

It really grinds my gears when I forget to use the clutch in my manual transmission car.



What about for you guys?

Yeah, my daily has that problem. Then when I get in my AT my foot goes for a clutch that doesn't exist. 0_o
I switch between the two so often I have daymares of putting it into first and forgetting to put in the clutch. That would really grind my gears..LOL
I swear, one of these days it's gonna happen....

Slow cars in the fast lane.

yaaaaa, dat rly getz me maaaaann.

People who make turns/lane changes before signalling; then only to signal while in the process of doing it...

internet grammar nazis.

1. People who flick their cigarettes out the window without any concern.
2. Being behind the aforementioned douchenozzle.
3. When your UPS just shuts down and takes everything with it. FML
4. When you realize you have no backup plan for your backup...

What a night! LOL I think I need a rebuild!

lol thats not really fair. im a science major not a english/journalism major. im not sure what it is you do, or why you prefer to have perfect grammar on forums. i just dont like to waste my time capitalizing my letters, and putting punctuation marks unless im turning it in for a grade. at most i will put periods and commas so it wont be a run on.

I've become a little lax over the years when it comes to all that. After all, it's a car forum in the OT area.
Let's not get mired down in principles of grammar, punctuation and spelling and have some fun.

That shit really grinds my gears!
:happy0180:

i think that a lot of it comes from the fact that i usually type in word. word will capitalize my words for me and now i have a bad habit.

Uh, yeah, that.


:wub::wub::wub:

I'm not sure how lack of punctuation marks, or uncapitalized letters can make a statement difficult to understand. I post on the internet to share my opinion, and socialize. I honestly don't care if people assume that i can't use correct grammar, as long as i get the point across. I spend hours everyday taking notes, most of the time i won't even be able to finish writing out an entire word. I know people can clearly understand the point i try to get across when i make a post, and i know that i am capable of using proper grammar when i need to. I also don't think its right to label a group as lazy, because they don't find it necessary to have perfect grammar when posting on something as meaningless as an internet forum. People prioritize what they spend their time and energy on. Is an individual lazy because they don't get up and exercise everyday? Or if they do not perfect their omelette when cooking breakfast, because that time and effort could be spent doing something else? Internet grammar nazis are usually just some pretentious hipster kid trying to impress others by pointing out peoples grammar mistake on something that has very little meaning, not implying this is you. However, i am offended that you implied i am lazy because i choose to use my time and effort somewhere else. My point is made, and i'm not looking for :fighting0040: So i am just going to agree to disagree.

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

Proper grammar should not be something you need to think about.

I hate when I have to read a post and decipher it to figure out what someone is trying to say because their grammar is so terrible.

BTW, where's the side boob hour?:D

Not if you upgrade to pentosin fluid
do A SEARCH

People with no common sense

Re-quoted for emphasis

Lazy people

On the subject of grammar on an internet forum. I don't care as long as I don't need to try to decipher the post. If you misspell a word or miss some punctuation I doubt I'd even notice. But there are limits.

What grinds my gears: 1) People that think I'm more generous then god. As in, 'god helps those that help themselves.' If gods not willing, don't ask me.

2) Religion. Not any particular religion or group of people, but the institution itself.

3) People that say motion sickness is all in your head. Yeah, because I thought my way into throwing up my stomach lining and being so dehydrated that it took three liters of saline to get my blood pressure over 90 in order to get me to come to. And oh yeah, I'm using it as an excuse to not work. Mean while I didn't pass out until after I fixed the problem that no one else onboard had the skills to fix and if it didn't get fixed we would have lost propulsion and capsized.... Fuckin' idiots.

4) Common sense. Don't even get me started.

5) People that say Swag. ^^ :)

Shifting hard to 3rd gear in a JDM car. Also that's the gear that gets ground...

by JDM, you mean RHD, correct? i never really had problems with that, but i'd just pull back, let it slip into the center, then push it forwards. course, could just be because the miata was so old that the gears were smooth already. lol

8th gen civic si trannys? :bellyroll:

When you pull out of the car wash and it's raining...

My old Supra was RHD. R154 trannies aren't known for smoothness, but LHD I'm ok. 50/50 I'd crunch 3rd shifting hard on the RHD.

And the reversed turn signal and wiper stalks. Changing lanes with the wipers flipped on, oops...

yup. i remember that. left hand wipes, and turning right when it's raining. >.<

SWAG! :bellyroll:

Being the FNG again in a new position of my same company.

:bonk:It's not the "fast lane", it's the passing lane. Pass and get back over, pretty easy concept.


Also yes I know this is an older post, but this irks me, almost as bad as tinted tail lights.

Edit: Every highway I've driven on including most of the major roadways in Dallas have the "left lane for passing only" sign.

What really grinds my gears? Within a week of trading in my Cobalt SS turbocharged (had the GMS1 upgrade, so 280HP/320TQ @ the crank), a Corvette, a WRX STi, and a 5.0 want to mess with me. Where were they when I had the Cobalt SS :bonk: At least the SS could have hang with them a lot better than the BRZ. But then again, I can actually punch the gas in the BRZ, let go of the steering wheel and still go straight :lol:

/waits impatiently until he can afford a turbo for his BRZ.

It may be called the passing lane but passing the car to your right at 2mph faster is not passing, it is driving slow. If you are going to pass, accellerate and complete the pass, then slow down. This should take less than a minute, maybe 2 tops.
