What grinds your gears? - Page 7

snow* · 15th August 2005, 14:23

I hate those cunts at the lights that rush at your car with there fucking pump bottle and make gestures to "wash" your window.

When you shake your head to say "no thanks" the bastards lean forward let rip with there bottle of watered down soap and go to it.

Then when the light goes green and they stand there expecting some coin and you just drive off and they get all pissy at you.

Im mean wtf. this is illegal right and they get all agro if when they dont get any coin.

Grrr

[edit] Oh yea fuck the fuckers that park in Disabled Parking spaces, that shit just aint right. It's always some arrogant "tough" guy that thinks no one will mess with him.

People that complain about something they could easily change, and can't be bothered changing it.

TnT · 15th August 2005, 16:54

Oh oh I've got another one. Dipshits who insist on using the High importance flag on every email they send you.

If you use it all the time, it loses it's significance, I then apply the same level of priority to everything you send me. i.e your "High Importance" has become normal.

My inability to stop reading the fucking awful Liz thread - I need a mouse that delivers an electrical shock every time I try clicking on it.

flic · 15th August 2005, 17:58

people who cross into the other lane on a two lane round-about without indicating

Might be able to arrange that, my mustachioed friend.

Foggerty · 16th August 2005, 16:26

Coolies - and can you also wire it up to send electrical impulses to my brain's pleasure centers when I click on a pr0n link?

crocos · 16th August 2005, 16:50

If by "electrical impulses to my brain's pleasure centers" you mean "240V of 60Hz alternating current applied through the extremities", then yeah! No worries!

Juju · 16th August 2005, 16:55

those fucking wankcocks that zoom up gillies ave and cut into the queue getting onto the motorway northbound.

I actually hit someone last year cause they forced their way in when i wouldnt let them... no damage done though (although he was pissed off... which was expected.. he was short fat and bald).

SURELY YOU JEST!

Its 50Hz.

crocos · 16th August 2005, 17:23

I would make circuitry to increase the frequency for, uh, "extra stimulation".

See? I look after my good friends like Foggs!

Foggerty · 16th August 2005, 18:59

Awwww, I'm feeling all warm and glowy inside

Or is that just the electrical current toasting my intestines?

samael · 31st August 2005, 22:30

crocos · 1st September 2005, 01:01

What grinds my gears? Well when people try changing into gear without using the clutch...

Oh and Juha: Yes. Other people have seen it.

Juha · 1st September 2005, 01:10

Goody. Does someone want to explain to me why Peter didn't get an honorary moustache when he hosted his segment?

did anybody mention lining the bottom of the bowl with toilet paper? reduces "splash back" and noise. (perfect if you, like me, hate the idea that someone might hear you crap.)
also helps move those "monster" loaves that normaly stick to the bowl, coil up and wont flush

edit: went to next page and found CCS had already done it.

[Malks] Pixie · 2nd September 2005, 13:26

What grinds my gears?

Well people who call up to complain about a change in legislation! A change in legislation that took place 9 YEARS AGO!!! And they expect ME to be able to do something about it!! Of course when I tell them that theres nothing I can do and they will have to comply they come out with some speil about the government making too many rules for business and they will be voting National this year in protest. Well this makes my day, especially when I point out to them that it was NATIONAL WHO WAS IN POWER when the legislation was passed initally.

If you're too lazy to pay attention to legislation which directly affects your business then I have no pity for you, you shouldn't be running a business in the first place. Rant and rave all you want, but at the end of the day it's your incompetence which will sink your business, not these new(ish) rules.

Pixie

xor · 2nd September 2005, 14:27

Wasn't National in government 9yrs ago?
I'm counting 6 so far for labour

crocos · 2nd September 2005, 14:29

Which is EXACTLY what Pixie said.

Evoke · 2nd September 2005, 14:29

Welcome to my world. My favorite is when people go, "well if the legislation was passed 9 years ago why didn't you implement it then?".

What the fuck do you think this organisation has been working on for all that time you brainless motherfucker!

Having said that I am always helpful and polite on the phones and most callers are far more onto it than that. It still only takes one such idiot to ruin my day :-/

the correct way to say "no" is to rub your fingers together like you're asking for cash.... whilst shaking your head.

MadMax · 3rd September 2005, 17:24

haha i was at city doctors yesterday, and the receptionist was getting really desperate trying to search for some special paper for some printer. she was talking to the other receptionist about how warehouse stationary couldn't get it.

whist sitting there waiting, it appears that she calls warehouse stationary a second time asking something about if they can cut the A4 paper or somesuch... obviously gets declined again, to which she mutters some long complaint before promptly hanging up.

*ooo i must get that last word in!*

People who switch lanes half way through a turn onto a two lane road. Happens alot when i'm in the passenger seat - makes me trust these people less and less.

Simon · 6th September 2005, 17:40

Today the gear-grinder is...

PEOPLE WHO POINT AT THINGS ON MY MONITOR AND TOUCH THE SCREEN WITH THEIR DIRTY FUCKING FINGERS.

Juju · 6th September 2005, 17:43

I find it worse when I have VNC'd into a person computer, and I'm pointing at my own monitor when trying to show them where something is.

TnT · 6th September 2005, 17:47

To add to Simons irk: and then try to wipe off their finger print, with their finger. My fucking boss does this all the time.

I'd like to add Consultants who promise shit to clients without asking development first. "Yes we can do that tonight for you". No cunt you mean I can do that for them tonight, this 'we' you speak of never fucking involves you. While you're at home eating your fucking dinner, drinking a nice glass of wine and spending time with your family, I'm the one at the fucking office fulfilling your promise you motherfucker. I hope you choke on a chicken bone.

Helious · 6th September 2005, 17:50

I'm disliking working with so many hot girls that I don't know which one i'd want to mack the most :(
