re: What grinds your gears the most?

Cigarette smoke when I'm trying to eat.

Makes me irrationally mad.

People popping gum or messing around with seeds.

I have to bring earplugs and headphones to work to drown that out.

Are you eating on a bench outside? Or do you work in an office from the 60s?

Both.

Inside a work truck as well. The owner which is a smoker doesn't care. He will fire up a smoke while you're eating in his vehicle.

The few other people who smoke will occasionally smoke in there as well.

People flicking cigarette butts out of their vehicle.

Gear grinder: people this stupid.

Ran to porta Jon in the dark back in December and realized too late that the lid was down.

Certain vehicles inexplicably come to a complete stop at a yield sign when there is nobody to yield to.

Or the special needs folks who come to a complete stop at a flashing yellow light like it's a 4 way stop

People who walk around in stores having a conversation with their speaker phone on so everyone has to hear the conversation...

Or popcorn. Everyone knows it can burn and stink up the whole area. Stand there and watch it so it doesn’t!

MFing this. MGDFing this. FFS, it ain't rocket science. Sometimes I want the Singapore government mentality. We gonna allow some stuff, but some things are going to be brutally treated if you cross that line. This is one.
