Ya know what really grinds my gears

---

I know this isn't about the currently WRGMG (What Really Grinds My Gears) moment...But what really gets to me are people who don't use their freakin turning signals!! Hello!! They are there for a freakin reason!!! Drives me through the roof.. Adam's always afraid I am going to follow someone home and run them over with my car after someone almost causes an accident becuase they didn't use their turning signal.Okay I feel better now.. I know not as good of a rant as Scotty, I'll try better in the future LoL

I don't like non-indicators either. Makes life for cyclists dangerous. You're cycling along, happy as Larry, suddenly a car turns in front of you forcing you onto the sidewalk (here pedestrians unfailingly curse at you). And, if the footpath is a bit high off the ground, as in most cases, you just end up falling off, cuz you gots nowhere else to go. Well, unless you decide to fight the car, in which case you damage their side-mirror and get sued. It's happened twice to me (the falling off that is). And this is when you're in the cycling-lane! Cars should be banned. And don't start on cyclists!

I thought you would like that damien. I've been a lurker there for some time a member for a while now. Never posted just read. That's where I learned about shirt stays and how to wear 'em. Now I don't know how I got along without 'em.

Hello!! They are there for a freakin reason!!! Drives me through the roof..Okay now, everybody gets one... just one. You've used your one thread high-jacking free card for my gear grinding thread... J/KNow on to your little rant. When you come from a town as small as I do people don't need to use signals cause we all know where we're going anyway. I'm sorry to say I'm one of those people you cuss. I probably use my signals about as much as I don't. So, I guess I would be in your good graces at least half the time.Feel free to follow me home and punish me just don't run me over with your car. I do use 'em in heavy traffic though or if I'm close to someone.

I see I haven't been vitriolic enough, so I will add that in my opinion the day cannot come soon enough when the business suit is thrown on the bonfire of history. It is expensive, unpleasantly hot in summer but cold in winter due to insufficient coverage, wears badly, and you can't climb trees in it. Similar considerations apply to practically all women's 'good' clothes. Why can't men and women wear practical clothes most of the time? Silly impractical stuff can be reserved for balls.

fuck an a, I agree completely, and uhhh thats exactly what I do! course I do not work in an office.

to go to the coffee shop and drive through the fucking thing and get coffee, she has to take a shower and do her hair first!

Me too! I also put on some makeup. I hate the whole PJ's in public thing. I think it is dirty and lazy.

She never does wear much makeup.
some eye liner, once in a while some lipstick thats pretty fucking invisible. to drive through the shop though? I am driving and she isnt even getting out of the car! I pull up a girl runs out to the truck and takes the order, when I get to the window hot coffee is waiting, I pay and leave. Why all the fuss to get coffee?
Including the drive it all takes a total of ten minutes to drive over, get coffee, drive back, I go in shorts and no shirt in summer and have yet to so much as comb my hair before I go in winter.

Ignoring Natasha's post....  Originally Posted By: albeitmyselfWhat really grinds my gears is that whenever I shout in the shout box no one every shouts back....poutI'm intimidated by your sexiness...  Originally Posted By: albeitmyselfAlso, whenever I make a post where I actually need help, no one responds - to the point where I feel so awkward that I have to get it deleted out of existence weeks laterI feel the same way at times but then I step back a look at what it is I'm asking or commenting on and they're not simple problems. As a matter of fact I know there's nothing that anybody here can say to address them. Maybe that's the case with some of your posts. Real, complicated problems that we face are beyond most of us here to do anything about or help with. About all we can do is offer support. For myself, I have a problem just offering support but giving no suggestions for a remedy. I don't know it's just a thought, a possible reason. I know it's not because we don't like you or don't want to help you.

If your suit is to hot or to cold and is that unpleasant to wear, you've got the wrong suit in the wrong fit. Spend the money for a winter suit and then for a summer suit. Go to a tailor and get the suit made to your size. It'll be a pleasure then. If you don't want to throw down for a tailor at least get a suit thats cut to measure or cut to fit. Off the rack seldom fits correctly. And, don't fall for that old shit of strangling yourself with your damn shirt collar. It shouldn't be that tight, it should just fit.Now personally I don't wear suits I think most of lack a sense of style, but that doesn't mean you can't take the components a make a great put together look. There is a certain advantage to be gained in looking good. First, it gives you more confidence in any give situation. Second, you can use peoples prejudices against them. If all they're going to put so much stock into how you look it make a good tool to manipulate them with.Oh and thank you for your slightly more vitriolic response.

I have noticed and have a theory about lack of response to some posts which, I think, something like you posted may fall under. It seems that on topics people feel unsure about they wait to post. They just don't want to be the first to open their mouths only to have someone come along in the post after theirs and say, "You don't know what the fuck your talking about." People sometimes need a little validation and feeling of safety by someone else posting before they step out on a limb and offer their input. When I'm not sure in my answer and am being to lazy or to busy to go look up corroborating opinion or facts about what I want to say I hesitate in posting. So the more complex the subject, the more applicable that's going to be. Beyond that people seem to post in clusters, maybe for the same reason, maybe for a different one, I don't know. If only one or two people have posted on a topic many times that's where it ends, even if the answer hasn't been fully spelled out. It's an interesting dynamic and in many cases an unfortunate one but I think it's just human nature. It certainly isn't that we don't want to help and most certainly that we don't want to help you. We love you and care about you and want to do nasty things to y...

I never even saw your post....sorry. Sometimes I only peek in here for a few minutes and I don't get to read everything. And sometimes I am just not sure of my answer so I don't bother posting.

When we think the worst the worst is more likely to manifest in our lives by our own unwitting hand. When we think the best the same applies... Think the best and we may create the harmony in our lives we seek.Now if I could just follow my own high ideals. Let us leave behind, if only momentary, our lofty ideas and descend into depraved kinkiness.

But then I realize that there is so much truth in this statement. Not because our thoughts themselves create anything, but because our thinking tends to heavily influence our actions.Therefore, my response is PREACH IT BRUTHA!!!

It's all about attitude. I may not live it but I believe it. The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It's more important that past, than present, than education, than money, the circumstances, than failure, than success, than what other people think say or do. It is more than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thin is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We all are in charge of our attitudes. -Unknown

your right about the dress, I instantly thought of you this morning.I walked my son into his class at the grade school, walking out there is this fucking guy, the first thing I noticed was teh worn out fucking maroon loafers, or part maroon, part worn leather showing from underneath.dirty and dull.the pants were ok, the shirt was fine, the fucking tweed jacket with the big dark elbow patches? jesus christ...then the hair, the fucking hair, he was an elvis fan, he had none atop his head, but his fucking sideburns..... Shari Lewis would of been proud!lamb fucking chop!I thought what a fucking 70s throw back dick bag.turns out he is the principal.

Footwear is like housework it's only noticed if it looks like shit.

I was talking about mens' shoes, observed by other men...Lets see... how do I put this... if it's men noticing your shoes. It's not really the shoes they're noticing. The shoes are just the dressing for what they're taking note of and thinking about.

I concur.if I notice her shoes at all its only cause I was looking at her legs, or because they are on my throat while iM getting my pants off.

lol.. I also love how when someone who is a total dick dies we remember him as a "great guy" foamy the squirrel did a rant on that one.
