    What ticks you off or Grinds your gears? Whatever it is, put it up.

    For me, one of things:

    I was just racing online, and in the final corner before the finish line, somebody put me into the wall because they didn't hit the brakes. They used my beautiful 1969 Ford Mustang RTR-X as their braking system and their barrier to avoid the wall. I wrecked and I went from 3rd place to last. I hate it when people race dirty or race like idiots.

    Something that really grinds my gears is people who blow their noses all the time. I live with someone like that at the moment, and it drives me insane to always hear them no matter where I am in the house. They blow their nose more than any person I have ever seen. They do it everywhere, including at the dinner table, and it's disgusting. Fun medical fact is that the more you blow your nose, the more you feel as though you have to blow your nose. Because the skin gets irritated inside and inflames, so you feel like something is there. So literally the only remedy to stop blowing your nose is to literally stop blowing your nose.

    Ugh, ugh ugh! It really grinds my gears.

    People who say "y'all." And unfortunately in Virginia, there's a lot of them. -_-


    Nothing against anyone that does it. Most of my friends do anyway. It just annoys me lol

    Speaking of language things, another thing that really grinds my gears is when people say 'axe' instead of 'ask'. My ex used to do this and it would drive me insane all the time. I'd notice. Of course I wouldn't say anything because I think it is rude to insult someone's speech right in front of them, but wow. I just. Nope. XP

    this is a weird one. I find it annoying, and oddly attractive at the same time.

    Some guys do this weird breathing thing in between talking. They add this "ssssss" noise to breathing in.....it makes me feel so weird inside.

    Girls generally don't do it. They more often do the lip smack.

    People that roll through stop signs or pull out in front of you and cut you off and then drive under the speed limit. Like they're in a big enough rush to cut you off but not in big enough rush to actually go the speed limit.

    People who think it's ok to hold the door open for you while they smoke. In NY I think it's a law you have to be 50-75 feet away from public entrances

    People who blame their stupid actions on being drunk. I like to drink as much as the next guy but it's no excuse for you to do stupid crap!

    Hearing somebody say something moronic in a group, and refraining from correcting them because it would kill the conversation. It's a choice between being a pedantic nerd and letting people perpetuate their stupid ideas.

    Since when did knowing things, or at least pursuit of knowing things, become so rare?

    Jars...

    I know this might seem very odd but seriously I was trying to cook today for the family and I couldn't open a jar of gherkins. I consider myself to be a quite strong male aswell and I was like "why do they make jars so tightly shut that you need freaking metal wrists to open it"... Lmao... Do I sound silly? :help:.

    I absolutely cannot stand when people say "I could care less." Because it's supposed to be couldn't, not could.

    I can't stand slow drivers. And people wonder why I blast past their slow asses on The G.D. Express Way. It's 45 MPH, not 35, not 40. 45 MPH. Drive the damn limit or get out of my way. :tantrum:

    People acting like I'm stupid because I don't know the thing they want me to know about.

    I'm not stupid, okay? I'm just really selective about where I give my shits.

    When someone says"I never realized that!". Well of course you didn't relized it until I showed you. They sound so redundant.

    Irregardless, it's not a word and if we're it would be redundant. -.-

    Cops who drive 5 miles under the speed limit and the people who won't pass them...
