off-topic You know what really grinds my gears?!?

Today what grinds my gears is photobucket. I had nearly 800 photos on photobucket so I decided to deleat some old ones to speed it up a bit. I was having to wait or even shut off then reopen photobucket to retrieve a new downloaded pic. Now the damn thing seems to be frozen. I opened a new account and its frozen too. AAAARRRRHHHHHH!!!!!

Photo Bucket has been super slow for the last week or two. Maybe because of the holidays people are uploading a bunch of pics causing alot of traffic. I think they just updated the site as well and haven't worked out all the kinks. Last couple times I logged on its been irritating. 
 
People who spit their a.b.c. gum out in the parking lot or by the door, RIGHT where you're gonna step!
 
THAT really grinds my gears.
 
Another thing that grinds my gears: The landscaping people using their gasoline motor equipment 5 feet from my window at the asscrack of dawn, which wakes me up, and kinda defeats the point of sleeping in...
 
How about this one? Getting random texts from companies trying to sell you something. You know, 'cause it's not irritating enough that they flood my mailbox with garbage and spam mail me into oblivion, now they have to text message me while I'm fighting to pay my bills.
 
Sometimes, when they grind your gears, you just have to find a way to laugh it off.

Mow your own lawn. Should the land crew wate till noon to get started and work till midnight? Think how bad it grinds there gears having to be up before the crack of dawn so they can bust their ass for people that look down on them.
 
Something else that grinds my gears: Having relatives try to force me to pay for most of the gift I want... kinda defeats the point of it being a gift from them if I have to fork over the $$ for 2/3 of the cost.

That's kind of the problem... HOA rules forbid us from mowing and/or landscaping our front lawns. Know of a few people in the neighborhood who got some steep fines for doing so....
 
i could see myself doing that ... to try to "make it go away" sooner ...

been offering solutions to "make it stop" for as long as i can remember ...

lol. i'm sure we all do SOME of these things ...

Don't I know it. They take $500 a quarter to boot. I'm downright shocked they haven't said a word about the peppers I have in my backyard...

I was going to post how you could feel better by doing something or other....but I can't come up with anything.... :lol:  ..so NEVERMIND!  
 
Guess I'll re-wine, maybe something will come to me~~~~ (prolly not)..........
 
 
OH! You know what really grinds my gears?  When I have this REALLY GREAT IDEA!!!!... but after 2 re-wines, I can't remember what it was, but I remember it was really great............
 
 
 
:rofl:  Is this enough of a hijack? :rofl:
 
 
 
 
 
EDIT- you know what SERIOUSLY grinds my gears?????  STOOPID AUTO-SPELLCHECK!!!!!
 
Any computer wizards out there that can tell this technologically challenged sparky how to turn that sheet off?
 
Apps - Settings - Language and Input - the gear wheel next to LG Keyboard - word suggestion, or auto punctuation

At least thats how on my LG Sponge Bob phoane
 
Spell Check has ruined my life. The other day I couldn't spell a simple word without spell check and it made me feel pretty stupid. These days people are too reliant on technology and we're losing the ability do the simplest of things like spell a freakin word. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Spell Check that mofo!
 
Some next level shit Salsa: try autospellcheck in another language..


That takes being frustrated to a whole new level!
 
Like when I'm typing chipotle and it keeps trying to correct to chitlins.  :rolleyes:
 
For the first 8 years of MSWord I was a better speller than MSWord!  Seriously!  I would find things not corrected more than SpellCheck! 
 
Gayle King (from that whatever morning tv show with Charlie rose and nora O'Donnell) said she texted to a male friend that she liked his new SUIT and it auto-corrected to... she liked his new SLUT.... (the guy had just started dating a new girl....).....OOOOOPS! 
 
:lol:
 
You know what really grinds my gears? Me.
 
I grind my own gears ...
 
Nobody can grind your gears like you can ...
 
Working across the night again because I couldn't resist fucking off from like 7-11pm ... really grinds my gears!
 
Do you want to know what grinds my gears?  My wife not replacing the TP after using all but the last 4 squares on the roll.  This is the third time in two weeks that she has done this now.  I'm beginning to think that she is doing it on purpose.
 
You know what really grinds my gears?

When you wake up at 4:45 every day for 4 days, then don't set an alarm because you don't have a market the 5th day, and instead of enjoying a relaxing slumber & catching up on some zzzz's, you wake up at 05:15 in a panic that you're late.
:doh:

That was me this morning.
