What Grinds Your Gears?

It grinds my gears that I came in here for a Leila rant and I did not get one!

It's still a nice big Liela story.. Consolation prize?

Nope you get all that in the other threads...

almost sure he moved to T or C in 2003. well, first cuchillo or w/e, then ended up in T or C

D: I have amusing rants? Oh dear! Maybe I should work a bit on my temper and try to fix that. lol ;;

Online Multiplayer achievements grind my gears. I hate not being able to finish the achievements for a game because the online community for the game isn't that active or the requirements are rediculous. For example, the one in GTA IV that starts with the word 'Auf', I forget the whole name, but you have to win every single version of every online game...yea, like that's ever going to happen for me lol. Especially when you get into things with idiots that decide "Hey, I'mma friendly fire, that'll be fun!"

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! What have I done!!!!!!!

When a network has a successful show and decides to release a ***load of craptastic spin-offs.

When sales happen on websites after I revive my items =_=

trying to find something in millions of blankets on your bed

and having a small face so you cant wear sunglasses unless you want them to overtake your face

It pesters me when I try to change my silly cover photo on facebook and it won't let me reposition it. It has the little "drag to position" sign, but when you try to click and drag it just sits there like a stump and looks stupid.

But if I leave it for awhile and then come back it usually works ^^ so it's all good!

Was backreading and this made me laugh a lil. I just got out of there and the short answer is no, no it can't. While I lived there, there were 2 huge wild fires in the past 2 years, and they got so bad that they covered the sky 24/7 in ash. So much so, that the sun turned a bright bright red. It looked cool but was horrific on one's lungs.

lightning is a hell of a drug

There are few things in this world that get me madder faster than someone I love being hurt. Well, in this case, it's just someone I like. Still mad though!

One of my old friends from high school, a fellow flute player and just all-round sweet girl, got into a relationship with the man of her dreams. I was happy for her. They'd only been together for a couple months when they got engaged, which concerned me a little bit but she's an adult and she can handle herself. After all, people were concerned when my husband and I got married too, despite us having been together for two years prior, because of our ages. I assumed she was fine and minded my own business.

Then she discovered that maybe this was not the man of her dreams after all. I don't know all the gory details, but she came to the conclusion that he was using her and didn't love her quite the same way she loved him. She decided the best thing to do was break off the relationship so both of them could just move on with their lives.

His reaction to her breaking up with him was to trash her house, grab her by the arm, and slam her into a wall. She now has a goose egg on the back of her head and a bruise on her arm.

So she's pressing charges, but she's wishy-washy on it. She thinks since he didn't actually hit her, maybe charges are too harsh.

God damn it girl, throw the book at him, kick him in the nuts (figuratively), and get him out of your life! There's no excuse for a man grabbing a tiny little woman (she's smaller than me, by the way, and I am a really small woman) and chucking her into a wall. None. Unless she's trying to kill, maim, or rape him, which I highly doubt she was.

I don't know what to think about the "man must never hit a woman" rule because it seems unfair that a woman can beat a man half senseless and he can't defend himself. But I would never forgive a man who beat a woman when she wasn't trying to hurt him, just trying to break up with him. Does grabbing a woman and slamming her into a wall equal a beating? ><

The DMV

Camping NMs for magian trials. I'm stalking Okyupete, no worries right. He has a specific place holder on widescan, so I don't even have to kill the whole herd of diatrymas to get him.

But then a thf comes needing synthesis materials off rocs, she doesn't want to team up and have to be social and lot her materials and all that jazz when it's clearly avoidable. I don't blame her. No worries still, except her killing them all screws up my place on widescan so now instead of killing one every five minutes, I have to start killing them all too just to make sure the place holder gets taken down. So I feel annoyed that she's messing up my place holders, she's probably annoyed that I'm killing all her mobs, and I wouldn't have to kill her mobs if she'd farm somewhere else, and she wouldn't have to farm somewhere else if the darn NM would just pop so I could go afk for the next hour and let her farm.

Lottery spawns, they are evil.

You know what grinds my gears? Being in a cruor farming party, and having an entire alliance flop down right on top of you.

I was in Vunkerl Inlet farming tonight, and despite multiple seacoms saying what we were doing, where we were doing it, etc an exp ally drops down right next to us at the crawlers. That's right, crawlers. Who the *** even exps on crawlers these days? Not only did all attempts at talking to them get ignored, they sent a few people all the way over into the rabbits and took what few unclaimed crawlers there were, killed them, and went back to their camp. ***. After getting back to PJ, I asked in /yell if all JP are this rude to english speaking players, and was promptly responded to with "GM squiggle squiggle".

TL:DR JP grind my gears.

Misunderstandings.

Crawling off a step and breaking a bone.

Being unable to embrace people that I love.

Fires, earlier when I asked if you could kindly leave New Mexico alone, I didn't actually mean that you should send off some of your spawns to pester Idaho. That was rude of you. Go jump in a lake and extinguish yourselves, if you please.

Oh, and my stepmother. >.>

K, so, every time I talk to her she wants to know every silly little detail of what's "going on" in my life. There's nothing going on. Not a single darned thing. So after about 5 years of her pestering me over this, I started getting annoyed and being like "well I woke up this morning at 7:05, so that's a whole five minutes I slept in! Wow! So exciting... and that's the only new thing that happened today!" and she did not catch the sarcasm or else ignored it. Well, it's been longer than five years I suppose. From the time I was a little kid she wanted a play-by-play of everything that happened in school, everyone I talked to, everything my teachers said, what I had for lunch, where I hung out at recess, and what exactly all my friends were doing. I would rather have a parent who cares than a parent who doesn't, but after awhile I started to feel like I had just absolutely no privacy and was obligated to tell her everything, actually, and that bristled my imaginary feathers. Anyhow. So when I moved out I started leaving things out, bit by bit, until now when I hardly tell her anything just because I'm a brat and I feel more free this way.

Anyhow, but sometimes I do tell her things, because she raised me and I know she wants to know. So I sent her an email the other day and mentioned in it that this one dude we both know was going to be in Texas on business for awhile at the end of the month. It's a good career experience for him. She immediately wrote back begging me to go with him and hang out with her in New Mexico while he was in Texas. Wtf, lady? No! He's (first off) really probably not interested in some random girl tagging along with him to Texas, second off, his company is paying for his airplane and rental car and all those things have already been arranged, it's not like I could just sneak in an extra plane ticket. For three, while my husband is working all day and I'm in New Mexico, what exactly am I supposed to do with my dogs? Leave them locked in the bathroom all day every day for a week? I can't even get over that she literally wanted me to tag along with a business group of people that I barely know for my own intentions, and nothing to do with their business. That's not even appropriate for me to ask them that. "Hi dude, I just met you and this is crazy, but my stepmother wants to see me so take me to Texas with you on your company's dime, maybe?" No. Seriously. >.> This is exactly why I don't like to tell her things.

Anyways, so I said hells no what are you thinking, then to soften it I told her that my husband's company had designed some new gadgets and his boss had asked me to pose with one to show how it worked. So that's relatively safe to tell her, right. And she immediately wrote back again squealing with glee about me "modeling again" and begging for the picture! Lady! No! For trucks sake, it's a stock photo for the marketing department. I'm not even looking at the camera. She still hoards pictures of the last 'modeling' job I did which was not even modeling. (A local photographer asked me to pose in my homecoming dress in high school to advertise her photography. In exchange, instead of payment, I got my homecoming pictures taken for free at the dance. >.> That is not even 'modeling.' That lady needs to stop telling people that I model. Honestly.)

For crying out loud. >< Mothers.

/reads Liela's giant rant.
/refreshes page and sees that a couple of lines were changed or something (the paragraphs shifted shape) but has no idea what was edited.

***.

That grinds my gears.

Grinds my gears trying to follow up a Liela post in this thread!

Sorry! I don't mean to be a fascinating ranter. /blush

What grinds my gears is seeing Liela posting a ton in this thread, and yet not going over to RT to say hi.

OH! And Turul. That scrawny *** positively refuses to drop my loki's kaftan, which is vital to the existence of any semblance of a 5-hit build on my rng plus general usefulness and nevermind how much my silly thf wants it. Not only is the bugger impossible to find and a mild pain in the arse to kill, he WON'T drop the loki! We've gotten blue stagger on him almost every time, and he cheerfully drops searing capes. Every time. Searing capes for everyone!

._.

He's just mad that he's not even a real dragon, he's just a snake with wings. Hmph!

So every time I prance around Odin without a loki I just KNOW everyone else is looking at me like "what is that dumb cat doing? Doesn't she know she needs a loki? Hehehehe noob cat!" I can feel the judging from here! ;;

Liela not posting lols grinds my gears!
