What Grinds Your Gears?

Sorry! <3 I'll post tomorrow maybe. It's already almost bedtime tonight!

You want to know what else should grind your gears then... We went like 4/6 in one night lol...

Edit: On Kaftan...

I hate when I select a large amount of files to delete, right-click and hit create shortcut by accident.

People who do not flush the toilet when there done!!

People stealing my mobs that I've processed !! red on in dyna.

Spoiled baconwraps.

I get annoyed over the dumbest little, most inconsequential, petty little things. Like this, for example. It has no long-term effects. It harms no one. It's innocent, I'm sure. It's driving me nuts!

I frequent a site called Pinterest, which is basically a virtual pin-board where you 'pin' pictures of things you like to your 'boards.' A very popular section of Pinterest is the Hair and Beauty section.

And in this Hair and Beauty section, women (mostly women, anyways) will pin pins of hair, makeup, styles, jewelry, etc. that they like.

And one of the very popular pins in this section of this site is this:



Obviously this is a picture of Kirsten Stewart's face shopped onto another model's body. This model, to be exact:



And who the heck cares? What does it matter?

I don't know why I get so darned cranky when I see the shopped pin of Stewart's face plastered all over the place, and very rarely do I see the pin of the original model re-pinned. Drives me even more nuts when people post comments in the discussion under the pins about how Stewart looks so beautiful in that picture. Well, she looks beautiful in that picture because it's not her in that picture, for starters! Drives me even MORE nuts when people comment in the comments that it is not actually Stewart, it's just a clever photoshop, and the next twelve comments are still fangirls shrieking about how beautiful Stewart is in this photo, or worse, telling people off for saying that it's not her. Even if they showed the original for proof that it's not her. /facepalm. That's exactly why I don't comment on that picture, by the way. Fangirls are the bane of everyone's existence.

Although I have to admit that even with how unfair it is to the original model, this particular shop didn't start to bother me until I'd seen it eight hundred and seven times. Gah!

Anyways, whoever made that photoshop is a diabolical fiend. >.>

finals week

It was probably mentioned earlier (but I didn't even bother to read through most of it), what grinds my gears is when your doing VWNMs and are in a long VoidWait only to start and then have that one special turd who afks, leaves mid-run, or is not prepared whatsoever (mainly taking the scenic route because they can't warp [or teleport], OP or use maws).

Be prepared! Go get those maws and recalls done! And while your at it get the extra voidstone capacity upgrade!

^^
K. Rant done. Felt good writing that down.

So glad this thread got bumped today. Cause I got fourteen emails today... 14! Reminding me to do my timesheet. Seven people felt the need to mass email everyone TWICE. To top it off, 1/3 of my bosses reminded me in person, AND, there was an announcement on the PA.

There are not enough ways to emphasize how unbelievably stupid that is.

^^ This
And when ONE or more persons on a key job cannot hold 6 Voidstones, demands to be warped an we end up waiting because of them, and then cannot get to said zone as they aren't that far ahead in VW progression and then having to guide them to the dang spot and making sure they don't die on the way...oh..and then they go 1/1 on a piece of gear that VWNM's hate giving the rest of us..'nough said..

When a game or computer program doesn't work correctly right off the bat, and you go through Google and try a bunch of different solutions only to find out the fix was something so ridiculously simple, that NO ONE mentioned as a possible fix (probably because they're too embarrassed).

Doesn't happen often, but it's happened more than once to me and it makes me rage every time.. Spend like 2 hours trying to get a game to work, and by the time I do, I don't even have the goddamn motivation (much less desire) to play it anymore.

Dunno what idiot decided to code 800x600 default resolution into a modern PC game, but they should be shot. All it took (which I never have to do so I never think about it) to fix my damn problem was change the resolution to match my desktop resolution.

Yes. Who in the hell even uses 800x600 anymore? Hell, my monitor doesn't even support 800x600.

Saw it further up, but not flushing the toilet. Drives me insane. My Grandmother does this, and I asked her why... she said something about the water bill. Ugh. Just flush, it's nasty when you don't.

I did my first Provenance Watcher tonight. I had never been up there before (besides the cut scenes with those devil-cats and weird moogle) so I was quite excited.

We gathered at 6pm. By 8pm, we had finally filled up the alliance by shouting, after begging specifically for a war for several minutes and getting countless tells of "I'm dnc and whm and bst, can I come?"

We took ages to get there-- some of us retraced, VW warped to Pashhow Marshlands (S), and ran. Some of us used recall-pash. Some of us stayed in Jeuno, and when our whm decided to finally drop and go get us, we warped to PW as the whm was warping to Jeuno. Finally, we were all gathered around!

We entered the first battle and killed Pil first, then Pil's evil twin. We entered the second battle and killed whatever was in there, which I have already forgotten. We entered the third battle, fought the wrong one first, the tank holding the other got hate-blocked, there was much death and hilarity ensued. Our ranger threw a temper tantrum and left mid-fight, our ninja couldn't stay because we'd started two hours late because half the ls didn't show up and none of Jeuno wanted anything to do with a random fill-up box for PW.

We took another hour finding replacements for the two that had left and getting them out to PW. Understanding that we didn't want to fight all three mini-battles again, the two replacements kindly got their own KIs.

We entered the last mini-battle. One of our men forgot to refresh his moogle-stones. We stood inside twitching with nervous energy while he ran out to the Walk of Echoes to refresh his stones. Once we were finally all assembled, we fought the last mini-battle once more. Some of us died for the cause. Some of us didn't listen when the alli was bellowing at them that the mobs had switched places and therefore they needed to switch which mob they are fighting. Our tank holder got splattered. But in the end, we prevailed! We wiped the floor with their faces and exited to fight the beautiful crystalline dragon, Provenance Watcher.

We explained four times that everyone needed three cut scenes-- two with devil-cats and one at the crystal. We fidgeted for five minutes while waiting on weakened timers. Finally, at slightly after 10pm, we were nearly ready! Our leader set a specific battle plan-- blms figure a stun rotation, corsairs put up rolls, DDs hold the rolls on the exit, bards do a bard rotation, sch number 1 put up embrava, and, when embrava went down, sch number 2 would re-apply it.

An over-eager member entered the crystal immediately upon hearing these detailed instructions. Oh no! We don't even know if everyone is at their keyboard! We cried, but we entered the fight. There was a flurry of confusion while we sorted out who would get booted from parties to allow bards in. Sch number 1 popped embrava. Sch number 2 popped embrava. The blms had neglected to set up macros for their stuns, so no one knew where we were in the rotation at any given time.

There was much splattering to be had that day. Many died for the cause, and the ethereal white paws of Provenance Watcher were stained red with the blood of blms whom he had drawn in and murdered. No hints were given for staggers, and no temporary items were refreshed. It seemed hopeless!

Ah, but we had a plan! A desperate last-chance gamble to make the last four hours worth it-- we had corsairs. The plan was a success! The corsair renewed the two hours of the schs, and we could once again have a dear embrava!

Our resolve renewed, we set out once again to defeat the might Provenance Watcher. He had up two fetters. NUKE FATTERS! Shrieked a bossy sch. Fatters? We wondered. Why, but our figures were slim and trim! We nuked that fatter, but Provenance Watcher was a clever old man, and he took advantage of our nuking and confusion over who on earth's turn it was in the stun rotation, and he murdered our DDs and pulled out another fetter. NUKE! Shrieked the sch. So we nuked, and nuke hard we did, but it was a melee fetter and our strongest and most mp-wasting fireballs did but a scant 0 points of damage.

We fell that day, under the white dragon claw stained red, so it looked suspiciously like strawberry milk. One of our members admitted to having gone to lunch while we fought. Our leaders growled and hissed. There were accusations and finger-pointing, there was debate and debacle.

We timed out and fell dead at the feet of another linkshell, who was no doubt filled with glee and courage at the sound of our dying groans as we fell.

Ah, beautiful, majestic, pristine yet bloody Provenance Watcher-- I think I hate you.

Did you get the memo about the coversheets on your TPS reports? lol That's what that scenario reminds me of. You just getting hounded by a ton of bosses.

When a T3 VNM (outside abyssea) doesn't drop at least 1 Trial item.

spent 2 hrs in Dyna-Qufim on BST/DNC using falcorr, proc'd over 60% of the mobs fought, and got a single coin drop every god darn time... 2hrs for 59 coins... :/

When your Colorful Demilune Abyssite changes the first pop in your body seal farm session.

snarky people using these phrases far too often: "that being said.." or "with that said.."

"furthermore"

Grinds my gears that I can never tl;dr Liela cuz she always has something awesome to say

i hate when you're exping on worms in Abyssea-la theine and people not in your ally kill your mobs.

When cap was still 75, it took me over 20 Krabkafuckwads to get 10 shells.

Large groups of straight guys at my gay club.
I mean seriously?

YEAH BRAH! WE'RE AT A GAY CLUB BRAH! LET'S PICK UP CHICKS AT THE GAY CLUB BRAH! YEAH BRAH!


Shut the *** up and suck a ***.

They want to get bi girls for kinky stuff or something? I don't quite get it.

No, they go to hit on the straight girls that go with their gay friends.

Alternatively they go to hit on the groups of straight girls that go without any gay friends because they feel entitled to gay men as some sort of entrtainment medium.

But if I go make out with a dude in a straight club it's a problem.
