What really "grinds your gears"?

[Turgius]

Add political adds to the list, here in Colorado they have begun. I quit watching television regularly in 2010 after becoming disgusted with the political adds since Colorado is a swing state...now they are all over the internet too...every youtube video i click on...grrrr. I don't care, Ill do what I do every election year when I get my absentee ballot...take time to look up each issue...and each of the  candidates voting record...then decide. (sorry for the rant)

People who want to own exotic pets. I.e. - Foxes, tigers, snakes, wolves, etc.   

nothing wrong with wanting to own one but it's when they own one and dont know how to care for it. when they cant care for it, that can get pretty dangerous.

my mom's "friend" had a wolf hybrid and one of our small dogs ran past it and she (the wolf) grabbed our dog and shook her. luckily she dropped my dog and we brought our dog to the ER. turns out that our dog's wind pipe had a small laceration in it so that air started getting under her skin and it was hard for her to breath. the put her in a box that had a higher amount of oxygen in it than the outside and she started to get better. she lived awhile after that happened (it think it was a year). sadly on august 29th 2014 we had her put to sleep due to cancer. im happy that we had her for another year and didnt lose her back then.

People who have and abuse their OCD condition to manipulate, control, and micro-manage other people and situations for their own selfish needs and pleasure.

I'm dealing with this at work right now.

not really that major of a thing. However, I find it really annoying when I have to kill wolves in video games. Why can't I let them live? :3 Just the whole representation of wolves being evil and savage is annoying as well.

[Furenzied]

I suppose it could be more about the fact that if you don't kill the wolves they'll eat you...same with most predatory animals.

im both with you

i mean in movies they take the evil role
as Hollywood portrays them

but really there not evil
just a Hollywood stereotype
if they attack people they have the right if your a threat or if they were desperate for a meal

but wolf's in my opinion are misunderstood 

[Keitsu]

They'd only attack if your entering their territory or if they are hungry and see you as a meal. The thing that annoys me about the game is that they are portrayed as vicious killing machines. It's kind of like all sharks being thought of as killers when in fact only some sharks are man eaters and attacks happen infrequently. If you actually look at some credible wildlife videos of wolves you'd see that they are not actually that aggressive at all. (when they are left alone). Wildlife videos themselves can manipulate how you feel about something by the music they play along with it, what the narrator says and how they portray the animal in general.

I'm not being stupid and saying that they are cute, so therefore they can't be dangerous. You just have to be cautious of them. It's also the fear of wolves that led to them being hunted so much by humans in the first place. Just like how Western Australia recently tried to kill a whole heap of sharks because of a shark attack (stupid).

anyway.. next thing that annoys me.. I just don't understand math. (I've worked on it pretty much all day and I've struggled allot)  It's too annoying and there are so many questions that don't even have a practical application.

[Furenzied]

Good points, but personally in many games that have dangerous animals such as wolves in games, they will attack mostly because humans are easy meals. We're slow, weak, and easy to kill, not to mention we're made of meat. We just have technology to help, and maybe thumbs.

Sharks bite people and things because underwater we do look like seals and other food, they have to bite things to taste them cuz they can't stick out their tongues.

It's always sad to see animals  portrahed like that. But I can see situations like that working in games.

Human encroachment will lead them into their territory and they will defend it. Humans are usually easy meals unless they are well prepared. It saddens me more that people become scared of what they don't understand, instead of try to learn more.


Anyway...

People who wake you up specifically to ask you to do something for them. I have a few words to explain my feelings about that...

[Rainy]

Ignorant people, they seem to always push things on you, then when you don't complie they find ways to keep picking at you. And the stuff they pick on isn't even true, it's just really annoying.

Having a high ping and you can't do anything about it... like it sucks to be unable to play online because you are stuck with a crappy internet service provider.

Or when people say things that are so easier said than done. "Well, get a car." Might as well tell me to stop having a heart condition.

Lol not that high, but it is often the highest among other gamers. Mine is usually stuck in 700-1000; If I'm lucky, 650 ms. However, satellite internet just simply isn't ideal for online gaming.

People stealing art and claiming it as their own...

The way Christmas merchandise is pushed earlier and earlier each year....

[Wereaibo]

My phone. It's a constant fight to get it to do anything it's supposed to. It frequently drops calls, oftentimes refuses to load web pages without a fight and many times even when it does load them it often does so badly, missing images or only loading half the page. This thing isn't a smart phone. It's a developmentally disabled phone. But even that's a poor analogy because developmentally disabled people still have value. Those old crappy Tiger Electronics LCD games have more brains in one circuit than this joke of a phone has in it's entire form. Even the freakin' N-GAGE laughs at my phone and calls it a slacker.

immature and rude people on gmod

[xracecar]

CoD rant:

When someone abuses their mic on CoD and blasts music through it.

When people use a bot on CoD and nobody but you notices. I mean, they only fire pistols 2 times a second, max.

When people use modified controllers and fires a semi-auto weapon and its like a freakin minigun.

[Kobuk]

People looking for handouts.   

"Hey man, you got a cig?"

"Hey man, you got a light?"

"Hey man, can you spare some change?"

Etc., etc., etc.     

[HazardJackal]

People who don't know how to chew with their mouth closed...

[charcoal]

It gets annoying when they ask for money and ask you if you want some chewing tobacco. hell no I like my teeth intact and I want to keep my girlfriend .
People who talk crap about how poor you are. Thanks bud I know I can't afford a movie ticket.
Last one. The people who feel the need to talk about these non military dog tags  I know their fake .but if you read them you'll know why they're importent to me so shut up

[Turgius]

Solicitors in general whether they be Religious, marketers, or political pushers with clipboards. The last 20 to 50 times I said no should really give them an idea of my future responses. Also people who fake difficulties to illisit sympathy in order to get money from people. For around two and a half years I saw the same guy by the light rail station near MSU Denver ask people for a hand out while showing a massive wound in his arm, that he would obviously repeatedly re-open, and he would be there at least once or twice a week. Also people who are obviously faking sympathy by the road side: "lets see. Iv taken this route for the last year and a half and your always here, always wearing a different set of clothes. last week you had a cast on and you needed to get to Cali due to your mother having cancer, before that you were a desperate single mother, and now your collecting donations for a disabled child horse ranch for disabled children can ride...Ok...seems legit."
